Impractical Girls /I.J/

Chapter Fourteen

Joe's Point Of View:

"Holy mother of food," My eyes went wide as soon as I walked into the buffet and seen all the delicious calories piled on the large tables. I felt my stomach grumble, begging for the food.

I immediately grabbed a plate and started scooping what ever I could until my plate was completely full. This won't end well. There was an empty table and I quickly sat down before anyone else could.

I dug in. Oh my god, I never imagined food would ever taste this good.

I stuffed a bite of mashed potatoes into my mouth followed by corn, some chicken and even a bite of this pie that looked so amazing. I could feel some of the butter on the chicken slid down my chin, but I didnt care, this was fucking good. I started choking a little and corn flew out of my mouth.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" I heard that beautiful voice and nearly shit myself.

She stood over me, causing me to look up into her big brown eyes. Her face held a smile.

I wiped my face off quickly as I freaked out. Oh no. I just embarrassed myself in front of Bessy. She must think I'm so disgusting!

"H-Hi," I greet, after swallowing. "how much of that did y-you see."

"All of it, but as long as you like it, thats all that matters. I'm Bessy, and I know you already know my name but its polite if I introduce myself."

"Joe. Joe Gatto." I stuck my hand out to shake, and she took it.

"May I sit?" I nod, getting up. I pulled the chair out for her and she smiles, sitting down. "Thank you, Joe."

"Its no problem. After all you're my favorite person ever."

"Really?" Her face lit up. "That's so sweet!"

I felt my cheeks getting heated like an oven, so I cover my face with my hands.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I just can't believe I'm sitting with you. Its a dream come true."

"Is it now?" God, she's so cheeky.

"Yes. Of course." I laughed a bit.

"How are you liking the cruise so far? Anything we should change for next year?"
"Honestly? Everything is perfect. Literally, nothing needs to be changed." I shot her a cheesy smile. A pink color flushed across her cheeks.

Oh my god. I made Bessy blush! Cross that one off my bucket list.

"Thank you, it means a lot. We've been planning this for a year, and it doesn't help that we all poke around while writing ideas down, then we end up sitting for three hours just doing stupid stuff. Teasing each other, making jokes and puns, god it gets crazy with us four in the same room." She said and laughed.

"That's exactly how my friends are! When we are trying to be serious about something, we end up procrastinating. Well the only thing we've never procrastinated on, is working for this cruise. We all wanted to come so badly."

Her face lit up, "Really? I'm glad you guys could make it! Its nice to know that people work hard for things they want to accomplish. I'm happy for you, Joe! I'm sorry to cut things short- but it's Barbie's birthday today. Ko, Sierra and I, are throwing a surprise party. All of the fans are welcome to come too."

"Sounds great. I hope to see you around?"

"Yes, you will. Have a good day, Joe. Nice meeting you." She stood up and gave me a hug. A HUG.

What is life?

I'm brought back to reality when I hear my phone go off. I check the message and it notifies me that four winners were chosen to meet the girls. I can't believe it...
