Gabby's P.O.V

I woke up the next morning in someone's arms. I looked up with my chin laying on Joe's chest. He was still asleep. I got up and sat at the end of the bed with the sheets wrapped around my body, thinking about yesterday when Joe kissed me. It was just amazing and I felt sorta weird. I brushed my teeth and sat back down. Then, I cleared my mind and walked to Joe's closet searching for something casual of his to wear, til I heard him say "Up already?"
I kept searching his closet.
"Uh.. What are you looking for?" He asked.

"Something to wear". I responded still flipping through bunches of hangers.
I heard his footsteps coming towards my way then it stopped.

"Here" I turned to my side where he stood and grabbed the white big T-shirt from him.

"Are you okay?" He said every time when he knows something's wrong with me.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go make breakfast" I paced out the door without turning my back and walked down the brown, hard, wooden steps to the kitchen. I grabbed a pan from the pot board and placed it on the stove. Then, I cracked 3 eggs and mixed it with my best seasonings. All of a sudden I heard him say "Gabby I'm sorry that I kissed you last night. I don't want you to think about it often the way I do. Please forgive me and I won't kiss you again." I glanced at him and he looked depressed. That's not exactly why I was acting like this.

"Joe...that's not why. I'm just....I don't know." I said to him pouring the eggs in the pan. I watched the eggs cook.

"I know lets pretend it never happened then." He walked away to his room and I ran after him. I faced his room door and tried to open it but it was locked. So I tried knocking.

"Joe open the door I need to talk to you." I pressed my forehead against the door. He didn't respond.

"Joe?" I repeated. Nothing still.

"Are you okay?" Still nothing. I forced my way to open the door and suddenly he opened it. He stood across me looking at me confused.

"I'm sorry I was just-" I stopped when he walked away.

"Joe I'm sorry. Please listen to me." I begged.

"What? I'm not mad at you." He sat on the bed.

"Really?" I approached him.

"Yes" he sighed.

"I didn't like what you said to me down there."

"What did you expect me to say? Your face clearly showed yesterday was a mistake."

"No it wasn't. That's just how I feel in the mornings sometimes. To be honest I was just afraid of our reaction and...it felt pretty weird to me...but I really really like you too."
I sat beside him and lay my head on his broad shoulders. I don't think I convinced him enough. Joe is a sweet person, he always listens to me and never hurt me no matter what happens. I sat there for a couple of minutes til the eggs popped up in my mind and I got up from the bed and sprinted to the kitchen. Oh no! The eggs burnt, it smelled strong and there was smoke everywhere. I coughed so hard my throat got sore and I could taste the burning eggs in my mouth. I tried to take the pan but it was hard to see and I burned my thumb.
"Ouch!" I yelled and continuously coughing. I dropped the pan and fell hard on the wooden floor. It was blank.

Joe's P.O.V

I saw Gabby on the floor and I rushed over to where she was laying. She wasn't breathing. I ran to the stove and turned it off throwing the pan in the sink and letting the water run on it. I hope she's okay I thought. I ran back to her and picked her up heading to my room. Then, I lye her down in my bed giving her CPR.
She wasn't waking up so I kept pushing her chest and giving her mouth to mouth until I heard her slight cough.

"Gabby?" I asked.

"Hmm?" She looked at me confused.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah".

"Okay I'll be back with some water". 

Gabby's P.O.V

Joe exited the room and I stayed in my position thinking about what happened. I almost burned his house trying to convince him. That's a good thing right? Well except the house burning thing. I lifted my body from the bed when I heard Joe walking in. He sat beside me and offered me 2 pain reliever pills and a tall glass of water. I took it from him and popped the pills in my mouth gulping the water with it.

"Thanks and I'm sorry I almost burned your house". I said to him.

"I understand. I told you I wasn't mad at you." He folded his hands on his lap.

"Okay" I chuckled.

"What's so funny?" He lifted one brow.

"Nothing." I continued to laugh.

"Alright then." he pulled me over to his lap and started tickling me.

"Stop! Joe I hate that!" I laughed even more.

"Should I stop?" He held me from my waist.

"Yes please I'm not 5 anymore. I am a grown woman." I got up from his lap and model walked my way to the mirror. He chuckled slightly.

"Wow that's an amazing model and she's hot." He played along.

"I know she's hot." I said posing with my back arched.

"I'm glad she knows that." He walked over to the closet and undressed himself.

"Ew put some clothes on." I said.

"Why? Don't you like what you see?"
He grabbed his pile towels and wrapped it around his waist.

"No." I laughed.

"Whatever I'm going to shower you should get ready too."

"Where are we heading?"

"At the breakfast place." He smiled then walked into the bathroom. I looked in my bag and took out my jeans and shirt with my black wedges.
Then, I waited patiently for him to come out the bathroom. After a minute, I pulled out my phone from under the blankets and checked it. I noticed I left it in the gallery section. The video I got from the 29 year old man. I watched the video over and noticed a black shadow sitting in the car while they fought the girl trying to force her in the car. I zoomed on the black shadow's face and it kept saying
Invalid: no information or identity found! So I zoomed in on the lady who was forcing her into the vehicle and it said Valid: Name: Rebecca Clairemont  Age: 31 SEX: Female.
Address: 268 Main street.

"Oh my god." I said.

"What?" I saw Joe step out of the bathroom drying his hair with a small towel.

"I found the address to Clairemont's  house."

"Really?" He approached me.

"Yeah we have to go now."

"Hold on it's only 10:00 I'm sure we'll make it around 11."

"Okay. But, if I don't find her in her home I will strangle you."

"Gee feisty. I promise we'll get there in time."

"Yeah well I'm gonna go shower too."
He smiled at me putting on his undercover clothes.

I jumped in the tub and lathered my skin with the blueberry/raspberry body wash. When I finished I got out of the tub grabbing the towel from the cabin. The towels were white and placed neatly in the cabin. He's such a clean person. I got out of the bathroom and Joe helped put the mask back on my face and I put on the makeup. Now I'm back to being May Everton. I'm va trouver cet Clairemont femme. (I'm going to find this Clairemont girl)
