Save Me. {A Joe Sugg FanFiction}

Emma's POV

I look at my outfit in the mirror. I'm wearing a black dress with a Peter Pan collar and white at the bottom. I have my Gucci handbag (yes I know) which I consider slightly too formal but Joe told me to dress up so that's what I'm doing. I have a rose gold Ted Baker watch with matching rose gold connected bracelets and coincidentally a rose gold ring which I slide on to my ring finer. I look at it and sigh.
Someday.
My shoes are also black heels that lace up to the top.
I do a gold-ish smokey eye and a deep red matte lip.
I left my hair down but curled it loosely. It bounces when I walk.
My nails are plain but with a French manicure.
He told me to dress up so I'm going the whole hog.
I look at the clock.
I have 2 minutes exactly.
I grab my phone, girly things (cough cough) and an extra lipstick and I shove them in my bag.
I walk out the door and press Joe's doorbell.
I wait nervously...

Joe's POV

I'm still struggling with my tie when the doorbell goes.
Shit.
I run up the stairs and open the door.
Wow...
Emma is standing in the doorway, smiling. She looks.. Beautiful. Her hair is loosely curled and it suits her 100%.
Her heels make her legs look long and her jewellery makes her tan look more mocha-coffee.
'Joe?' Emma clicks her fingers in front of my face.
I blush.
'Sorry..' I mumble.
'Umm Joe?' Emma asks nervously.
'Yeah?'
'How's Caspar..?' She whispers.
Ah.
Since he caught us kissing he hasn't come out of his room and hasn't filmed or anything. I tried to talk to him but his door is locked.
'He's... Well, he could be better.' I say sadly.
Emma nods.
'Well when we get back I'll talk to him but for now I just want to enjoy it.' Emma says, walking out of the door and to the elevator.
I walk after her and take a fleeting glance back at the flat as I close the door.
Sorry man.
'So.. Joe. Where exactly are you taking me?' Emma asks after a few seconds of silence. It's not awkward though, silence around Emma never seems awkward.
I smile and tap my nose.
'Somewhere.'

Emma's POV

We come to the edge of a forest. Thank god it's June and there's a heatwave. I'm warm and around Joe I feel electricity coursing through my veins.
'Joe.. Where are we?' I laugh.
'Shush Emma.' He says as he puts his hands over my eyes.
I giggle and trip over something. But Joe catches me and continues his secret guid through the forest.
'Careful, there's a log there.... There's a mole hill... Watch out!' He says as I put my foot down a rabbit hole.
'This,' I say, taking off my heels, 'is hilarious.'
Joe laughs and says: 'close your eyes.'
I do and he takes his hands away.
I keep them close as Joe takes my hands and steers me forward.
'I'm like bambi on ice right now.' I laugh.
'We're nearly there.'
After a few silent seconds..
'Now open your eyes...'
And I gasp.
In front of me is a grassy expanse that leads to a lake that shimmers under the twilight.
He's set out a picnic blanket with candles.
'The candles..?' I ask.
'They're electric.' He explains.
And a hamper sits on the corner of the blanket and I race to open it.
In it is two champagne glasses and loads of snacks.
'Oh my gosh..' I say.
'What?' Joe asks worriedly. 'Is it too much?'
'YOU GOT GUMMY WORMS!' I shout happily.  'And no it's not too much. Thank you.' I whisper after my little excitement and kiss his cheek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After stuffing ourselves and trying to catch gummy worms in our mouths we lie on the blanket; Joe's arm around me and my body turned into him.
I look up at him.
He's staring at the moon, his lips are full and his jaw well accentuated. His eye lashes are long and his eyes are sparkling.
'When I was younger, I used to look up at the stars and imagine that they're were all people I loved looking down on me.' Joe admits.
'That's sweet.' I say quietly, not wanting to ruin the beautiful silence.
'And I used to go out on a summers night and play my guitar to them. And I imagined that they could hear me.' He adds.
I point to a constellation.
'That's Pegasus.' I say.
'Really? Looks a bit like a potato with wings of you ask me.' Joe says cheekily.
'Utter cheek!' I say in mock horror. 'That's Pegasus the most sacred flying horse in Greek and Roman myths!'
'A Pegasus flew around my room...' Joe mumbles, in tune with the 'a potato flew around my room' song. Well it's not really a song but you get the gist.
I giggle and curl further into Joe.
'Emma?' Joe whispers after a while.
'Yes?' I whisper back.
'Will you be my girlfriend.'
OH.MY.GOSH.
I bite my lip to stop my from squealing.
'Yes.' Is all I muster.
Joe smiles and closes his eyes.
Soon his breathing becomes heavy and I lie there with someone I love under the stars and I thank them. I thank my lucky stars he chose me.
I kiss him and close my eyes too.
Soon our breathing is in unison and I fall asleep with a smile on my lips...
