Liars Best Friend

Chapter 32

When Joe got better, he left to visit his grandpa and say goodbye. It's been a couple weeks, but I know he'll be fine. He has to be right?

Today, was my birthday and Caleb insisted that he and I go out for drinks tonight. Of course I immediately told him about my situation, which caused Caleb to continuously apologize.

We changed it to just going to dinner after work. I don't want to do anything fancy anyways.

We went to a fancy restaurant, and took our seats. Caleb and I were laughing when a familiar face walked towards us.

"Joe," I smiled. "What-"

"It was time to come back. Can I join you guys?" He asked.

I looked at Caleb and he nodded. Caleb excused himself and said he would see me at home. He kissed my head then left.

"How are you?" I asked Joe.

"I could be better. You?"

"Worried about you," I replied.

"Sorry about that."

"Don't ever be sorry about me worrying. That is something I will always do," I smiled lightly.

"I got you something," he said pulling a box.

"You didn't have to-"

"It's your birthday. Shut up and open," he joked.

"Okay," I said grabbing it.

Opening it, there was a pair of beautiful earrings. I gasped an stared at them. "Joe, this is amazing. Why-"

"Your my girlfriend, it's your birthday, and you've always been there for me."

"I, I can't-"

"It's a birthday present. Just say thank you," he smiled.

"Thank you," I smile.

2 years later

As I put my wedding invitations in the mail, my heart quickens. This is really happening.

Walking back to my apartment, Caleb pulls me into his.

"Caleb, what the hell are you doing?" I asked.

"Did you do it?" He asked.

"You know the answer to that. Caleb, he knows and is fine about it now. Stop bringing it up," I said. "Look, I have to go. We can't talk about it anymore."

"But it happened. It might-"

"Caleb, it was a year ago. Stop talking about it. Please," I begged. "I have to go."

With that I leave and go to mine and Joe's apartment. When I walk in, I see rose petals lesson to the bed. So cliche, but romantic at the same time.

As I walk in, I see Joe on the bed holding a rose smiling. I set my stuff on the chair and smile in disbelief.

"What is this?" I asked kneeling on the bed next to him.

"You're amazing, and I thought you deserved this," he smiled.

I kissed him and he kissed back. I straddled his lap, placing my hands on his neck as he put his hands on my waist.

Well...you know what that led to.

When we finished, he fell asleep and I moved my finger in circles on his arm. I kissed him, then put a robe on.

Checking the time, I see that it's 4 pm and I make a cup of coffee for myself. I turn the tv on and start a movie.
