Joe's POV
The car ride home was extremely awkward. We just sat in silence.
Then I realised. "Zoe's party!!" I shouted without thinking, making Lottie jump.
"I know, I was thinking about that too" she explained. "She wouldn't mind would she?"
I paused. "Well, we'll have to see."
I'm not sure what Zoe would do. I've never snuck away from one of her parties with a girl to go to Bella Italia before. Honestly.
The walk up to the front door was silent as we listened for the buzz of laughter inside.
I looked in my pockets and brought out my keys and proceeded to unlock the door. Just before I twisted the key the last time, the door flew open, causing me to fall forward.
"So, where have you been?" Zoe asked with her arms crossed.
"Nowhere" I answered. She raised her eyebrows. "Well, we went somewhere but that was because this was a boring party and" I looked at Lottie for help. Obviously I wasn't making the situation any better.
"Zoe, let me explain, I felt a little, you know, socially awkward and I guess Joe picked up on that and we decided to go to a place that's a little calmer. Just us two and then we felt bad about leaving, so we..."
"Wait" Zoe butted in."are you two going out?"
Lottie glared at me. "She's gonna find out one way or another."
"Oh my god, you are aren't you? I knew it! Me and Marcus made bets and so did Jack." Zoe rambled on.
"Oh hey guys." I waved after noticing the group that had begun to gather and eavesdrop behind Zoe. There was a moment of silence before everyone ran over to congratulate me and Lottie.
"Are you sure? I mean, you could probably get anyone that you wanted but you chose my brother." I heard Zoe ask jokingly. They all laughed as I pouted, making everyone laugh even more.
"Anyways, let's all play spin the bottle!" Zoe shouted as she rushed into the living room with everyone following her. "Are you coming?"
"No! I just got my girlfriend and I don't think I want her kissing one of my friends before me." I laughed as I grabbed Lottie's hand and dragged her upstairs.
"Joe, what are you doing?" She laughed.
"Nothing" I smirked.
After reaching my bedroom we both sat on the bed. " I love you" I breathed inbetween kisses as I wrapped my arms firmly around her waist and she ran her fingers through my hair.
"Stay here tonight?" I asked before getting up off the bed.
"But I don't have anything to wear." She replied, slightly giggling.
"Here" I said, tossing the shortest shirt I could find at her.
"Turn around or cover your eyes."
I did as I was told and rose both of my hands to my eyes with a few quick peaks.
"Done" she said, as I ran over and lifted her into the bed as she giggled.
I laid down next to her as we both looked into each others eyes.

Lottie's POV
The next morning I woke up the sound of Zoe and Joe's voices downstairs. I trod carefully trying not to wake Mr.Sugg or anyone else who happened to be still asleep.
"I'm just saying that you should tell her now, instead of later. " Zoe whisper-shouted.
"Zoe it's just not the right time" Joe replied. "She might dump me before it even happens"
"But what if she doesn't?" This was a new voice. A blonde girl with pink ends. "She certainly will if you don't tell her soon enough."
"But I'm not even sure about it yet." Joe started again but by then I had rushed back up to Joe's room, on the verge of tears.
