The Boy With The Football

Bedtime

Simon's pov

JJ's ridiculous laughing fit came bursting through the speakers.
"Do that again and I swear I will go to your room and pull you off your chair." Josh said, but I could tell he was trying not to laugh. JJ was constantly taking him out. Everyone else burst out into laughter.
I was using the speakers instead of headphones, so Jo could hear. She was tucked up in my lap watching us play Gta. I was encouraging her to join in and play for once but she didn't want to. She said the fans probably wouldn't like it.
"FOR FUCKS SAKE JIDE LEAVE ME BE!" I jumped at Josh's sudden shout. Laughter came bursting out of the speakers again.
What a life. Playing video games with my best friends and my girlfriend tucked up with me.
"It's 11:00, we've been recording for three hours straight." I said.
"Yeah, let's call it a day for gta." Vikk said, and he disconnected from the Skype call.
I disconnected and wrapped my arms around Jo, who was looking really sleepy. "Come on." I kissed her cheek. "Bed time."
She shook her head and yawned.
"See, you're yawning." I turned her around and kissed her nose.
She smiled and kissed me back. "It was an accident."
I laughed. "You cheeky little thing." I picked her up and carried her to the bed.
"Simon!" She screamed and laughed. I started tickling her. "Stop!" She screamed. I crawled on top of her and tickled her tummy. "Simon stop!" She was laughing so badly. I attached my lips to hers and her laughing stopped, and we kissed. Long and passionate. I stopped tickling her and put my hands down and trapped her underneath me, then pulled my lips away. I smiled, and she smiled back. I started kissing her neck.
"Simon." She wrapped her arms around me, I took a breath and carried on.
"Now who was it saying I need to go to bed." She said, with a cheeky tone to her voice.
I pulled away and looked at her. "You are in bed."
We both laughed. I sighed then pulled her up. "Go on then."
"I threw my pyjamas into the wash, can I borrow some clothes?" She asked.
I picked up my underwear that was on the floor and chucked it at her.
"Really Simon?" She said, but I knew she was alright with wearing it.
"Dont worry, it's clean." I said, and took my top of. My room was boiling hot. "I know you'd prefer it if I'd worn them first, but, oh well." I said cheekily.
She smiled then went out of my room, across to hers. "You know you can just get changed in here!" I shouted after her.
She charged back in with a huge smile on her face and pushed me over on to the bed. "Enough of that, Mr Minter."
"You should call me that more often." I said, laughing. "Alright, go on and get changed, you have school tomorrow."
She left the room and came back a few seconds later in my boxers and sidemen top.
"Speaking of school, what did you say earlier about Ethan's sister?" I asked.
She sat on my bed and scrolled on her phone.
"It's nothing," she didn't look up at me. "Just acted a bit weird."
"In what way?"
She put her phone down. "I don't know, she just..."
I raised my eyebrows.
"It was weird, her first day and she said 'who says you're allowed to wear a sidemen hoodie in school' and 'you're homeless, don't come near me'." Jo still wasn't looking at me. She knew I'd get angry. I instantly raged inside. "Fucking bitch." I murmured under my breath.
"Hey, hey, don't rage." She said, standing up and putting her finger to my lips, and her other hand on my chest.
"She call you homeless?" I felt like punching the shit out of Ethan. I hardly ever get angry, people can say anything about me, but not that about Jo. Everything that happened in her younger years had nothing to do with her, and she's not homeless.
"Youre not, you're here with me." I said, my voice changing from angry to upset.
"I know." She whispered and kissed my cheek.
"Hey," she put her hand on my chin and turned my head so I was looking at her. "I'm alright." She was still talking quietly. She gave me a kiss and I accepted it, kissing her back, then putting my arm around her.
"Bed time." I smiled, and she crawled into bed. I took my joggers off, turned the light out and crawled into bed next to her.
She kissed my cheek. "Night babe. I love you."
That lighted my heart up. "Night. I love you too." And I kissed her cheek back.
My chest was still burning from those words. I was so protective over Jo. Her past hurt me more than it hurt her.
I knew she wouldn't like it, but I was going to talk to Ethan about this.
