Joyce Pov: *beep, beep, beep............alarm clock going off.

Ugghhh, sitting up in my bed. Rubbing my head, I got up and went into the bathroom.

"Look at you." I said to myself, while looking at my reflection in the mirror. My hair was all over the place, dried tears on my face, and my eyes was just dull. And you know what the worst part is, that I have to work today and I have to face David. I feel so bad on what happened yesterday. I wish David wouldn't have heard what I said. I wanted to tell him myself, but in a nicer way. But no, his stupid, handsome.....wait Joyce you're mad at him right now. Anyway, like I said, his stupid brother just had to come over and ruined everything. Ughhh, why me!!!!!!

After doing what I usually do every morning, I packed my workout clothes, then went downstairs got my keys, wallet, and was about to had out the door. Wait, I had to make sure Jaycob was gone or at least in his house.

I wasn't in the mood to deal with him. Plus, I had to see his brother today, so yea. I peaked out of my window, just to see if he was anywhere to be found........nope he's not out there. 

I walked outside of my house, locking my door. I walked toward my car and got in. Starting the car, I took a deep breath, let my day began..............................................................................................................

At Work: 

I finally arrived at work, parking my car behind the gym building. I entered from the back door, entering inside the locker room. Me, being the only one in there, I started taking my clothes off............while I'm changing, I heard a locker being banged on.  Hmmm. I tried to ignored the sound, but it was getting on my nerves.

So, I tiptoed to where the sound was coming from. When I got there, I peeked to see who it was, it was David. He face was red, his fists was bleeding, from punching the locker, and tears were coming from his eyes. 

"Damn it" David whispered to himself. Sitting on the bench. "Damn you, Joyce." I heard him say. I knew why he was mad, I feel so guilty about it. "Why did I fall for you." He whispered.

"I don't know." I said, out loud by accident. "Joyce, is that you?" David said, turning my direction. "Yea, its me." I said, getting out from my hiding spot. 

"How much did you hear?" David asked, not looking at me.

"All of it." I responded. Not responding to my response, I looked at him. I feel so bad. Why couldn't I fall for him? I asked myself mentally. "David, I'm sorry about yesterday. Your broth....." I got interrupted. "Don't call him my brother, he's my step-brother now." He said, coldly.

"Well, your step-brother came over, while I was getting dress for our date to confess something." I said, looking at the pavement.

"What did he confess to you?" David asked.

"Ummm, that he wanted to be with me." I whispered, hoping he didn't hear me. "HE WHAT!!!" David roared. Pushing the locker again. I got up to try to comfort him. "Dave, stop listen to me." I whispered in his ear. David listened and sat back down.

"You know, I told him no because I was thinking about you, and even though I said what I said yesterday. That doesn't mean that I don't like you or don't want to be with you. You and your step-brother both are handsome. And that doesn't help me when your my boss and he's my Professor whose lives next to me. I said, joking on the last part.

"I know, but my brother always get everything he wants. I when I say everything, I mean it. I just want to be loved again. I mean don't get me wrong, I still love Jaycob. But, every since my parents adopted him, it was all about Jake." David said, with tears in his eyes.

"All I want is to be loved, is that too much to ask." He said.

"No, it's not." I responded, placing my hand on his chin, turning his face toward mine. "Joyce what are you doi...." I cut him off, by placing my lips on his

David first hesitated, but then gave in. He needed this, heck I needed this too. We started to going further in our kissing. David pulled me on his lap, not breaking the kiss. Breaking the kiss, I started straddling him, while placing soft kisses on his neck.

"Joyce, don't start something you can't  finish." David said. I stopped, and looked into his eyes. Man, this man is so beautiful. "Well, that was something." I said, not taking my eyes off of him. "Yea, it was." David replied back.

"Ummm, I think we need to get to working now. Don't want to hold up over customers waiting." I said. Getting off David lap. "Joyce wait, ummm, would you like to, umm, be.....my.......nevermind." He said, looking away from me. 

"Dave, if you're trying to ask me to be your girlfriend, then I'll say yes." I chuckled. "Really, you would?!" He asked, excited like a 5 yrs old. "Yes, really." I said, smiling at him. "Well, then that went better than I thought I would." He said, getting up and grabbing my hand. "Well, Joyce would you like to be my girlfriend?" He asked, looking into my eyes. "I thought you've never asked. Yes, i would." I said, giving him a kiss. "Now, that we've made up, why we go and help our clients and then after work, I'll take my girlfriend on a date." He said, cheesing. He looks so cute. "Okay boyfriend. Lets go." I said, leaving out of the locker room, with our hand intertwined.........................................

Jaycob Pov: 

Looking at of my bedroom window, I saw that Joyce's car was gone. "Yes" I said to myself. I got dress and ran outside my house, over to her house. Taking her key from underneath her door mat, and unlocking her door, entered her house. I inhaled the smell, of her house. It smelled like apple and cinnamon.

 I went upstairs to her bedroom. Her room was spotless. Everything was in place. The color of her walls were red. While I'm looking around her room, I heard her phone vibrating. I walked towards her nightstand, where her phone was. Hmmm, she must have left it here by accident. I checked her phone to see who was calling, it was an unknown number. I hanged up, and looked at her screensaver. 

There was a little boy, about 5 or 6 yrs old, light-skinned with green eyes, sitting on Joyce lap. Both of them smiling. The little boy looked just like Joyce, only Joyce was darker and her eyes were brown. Thinking to myself..................... no that can't be her son. I don't know, but I will find out...............................................................

Well, there you go folks! David and Joyce made up and are together. But will they maintain their relationship? Uh-oh, Jaycob might have found out about Joyce past! Will, he find out if that really her son? And who do you think Joyce should end with............Jaycob or David?

And sorry for not updating.........school and band practice really does take up my free time!!!!!
