chapter 21(pilots)--text me

Josh's POV//

My eyes averted towards the door as my mothers words grew impatient.

"Josh!"

"Hmm."

"Were you listening?!" She exclaimed louder. I shot a glare her way and she instinctively throws her hands up in the air as a surrender.

"Woah.. Chill out. I'm sure Tyler will text you soon.." I turn back towards the tv, annoyedly tapping my fingers against the arm of the couch.

What's taking him so long?

"Mom, can I throw Tyler's birthday party here?" I stare blankly at the tv, waiting for her answer.

"Tyler's birthday is soon?! Oh my of course you can! Have you got it planned? Do you have a-"

"I'm planning it with his mom, Mrs. Joseph. I guess I should try to get things set up. Ill be back around 8."
She frowned before clearing her throat and brushing her apron off.

"Dinner will be done by 7. Call me if you need anything." I nod and stand up, walking out the door, keys in hand.

"Baby blue?" I repeat back into my phone, pushing the shopping cart to the left lane.

"Yup, it's always been his favorite color. Are you sure you don't need any money?"

"It's fine, thank you." I laugh at how kind the women was.

"So I've got, baby blue and white table covers, confetti, streamers, balloons, and table decorations." I say as I scan my eyes over the items.

"I've got an order for a cake too. Am I missing anything?"

"Oh dear he's gonna just love it! You're the best friend he's had in years besides Brendon!" She said excitedly, before answering the question,
"And no you've seem to have grabbed everything needed and more."

"Sick! You can come over tomorrow morning to take Tyler out while we set up. When you come back it will all be taken care of."

I smile as she agrees and thanks me for the millionth time before letting me go.

1 message from tyjo :^)

tyjo :^) : On my way back right now, sorry for not texting soon enough.

I frown as I open the text, responding quickly.

Josh: k

I sigh before pushing the cart out of the aisle and towards the cash register.
The lady smiled at me as I handed her the items.

"Rough day?"

"Huh? Oh yeah.." I rub the back of my neck, earning a soft laugh from her. I hand her the money, my cheeks growing red at her laugh. She pulls a pen out, writing something on the receipt before grabbing my change and offering it towards me. I pocketed the money before grabbing the bags of birthday items.

As I was walking away I heard her call something after me,
"Call me~" I glance at her only to find her smirking, waving slowly.

I quirk a brow before looking at the number written on the receipt in my hand. I laugh at the thought

"Sorry lady.. I'm in love with a boy.. " My mind wanders to Tyler and I push through the store doors. I caught a glimpse of her shocked face at my comment before completely exiting the shop.

Tyler's POV//

I look down at my hands, playing with my fingers as I wait for Josh to arrive. I knew he was upset, otherwise he wouldn't have used such short replies..

"Tyler, dear? Dinners almost ready." Mrs. Dun beamed brightly and I nod with a small smile.

"D'you need any help ma'am?" I look to her. She shakes her head, still smiling widely.

"No hun, it's fine."

She exits the room and I bite my lower lip anxiously.

A large slam was heard in the other room a few moments later. I rush to see what happened only to find Josh slamming the front door shut.

"H-hey Josh.." I pipe up as he walks past me.

"Mm." He replied, walking and setting some shopping bags in his room. I frown slightly, walking upstairs after him.

"Baby I'm so-"

"Did you do anything with him?"

I cock my head to the side in a confused manner.
"With Brendon? No! Baby I would never do t-"

"Good." He said, stepping closer to me. My back pressed against the wall as he stood centimeters away from my body. Blush crept onto my cheeks at his actions.

"Because you're mine.. Got it?" He presses his warm lips to mine, moving in sync with me. He bit my lower lip, begging for entrance. I denied and he went for it again. I kept my lips together in a teasing manner, he ran his fingers up my waist then slowly down to my ass. I let a gasp escape my lips and he takes this advantage to slip his tongue into my mouth. I feel his lips curve up into a smirk as he pulls away. I whine slightly, wanting more, but his mom calls us down for dinner and I knew we had to stop. He snickered at my helplessness and leads me downstairs.

"Babyboy?"

"Hmm..?"

"I love you.."

I smile, blush tinting my cheeks as he pulls me closer into his chest. His mother let us go upstairs early assuming we wanted time to hang out.

"Hey Josh..? We will never pass highschool if we keep missing so much school.. We need to go back next Monday."

He groans, obviously hating the idea. I giggle and sigh.

"Yeah I know it's sucks, but we need a highschool diploma to go to any college.."

"But I just want to cuddle you and forget the world.. "

I grin, looking up at the boy, his face covered in his red curls. I close my eyes as he presses his lips to my forehead.

Hello.

Are you still afraid of me, or must I make you fear me once again?
