Hidden ~ A joe sugg fanfiction

Chapter 38

Ashleys POV

Everyone was asleep. Not a single sound could be heard. Me and Joe just lay there enjoying eachothers company. The rushed beating of Joe's heart rung in my ears. Mine mimics his.

Joe's hand tightly grasps mine as he slowly traces circles around the small scar on my hand that was formed 3 years ago when I met Joe for the first time and tripped over, cutting myself on the small knife laying placid on the marble kitchen counter top.

Our fingers are intwined. Never letting go.

"What now?" I whisper. Uncertainty laced in my voice.

"What do you want to happen?" Joe asks in a husky tone.

"I want to fall in love with you even more. I want to know you like nobody else does"

"So do I. Maybe we should just keep this to ourselves for a bit and see how it goes. I don't want to mess anything up"

I nod in response.

After an hour of heart to heart conversations and awful jokes, we finally decide to go to sleep. I unlock the back door and carefully enter the dim house.

The wooden floor cracks underneath our touch. 
The darkness blocks our path as we try to work out where to go. Eventually we find the stairs. We climb on all fours to get to the top safely while giggling hysterically.

Were so tired that we begin acting like a bunch of drunks climbing Mount Everest. We finally find a bedroom. Not sure who's it is but we decide to just flop on the floor and sleep. The carpet acts as a pillow and as Joe wraps his arm around me, I find myself falling asleep.

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

My eyes blink open and I try to take in all the blurry figures crowding the room.

"She's waking" a familiar voice shouts. Troye.

I whip my head up and take in Joe and I's current position. His arms wrapped around me and our legs intwined. This mustn't look good.
I shake his shoulder relentlessly.

"Joe wake up" I plead in a hush. He mumbled something and moves his head to snuggle up to me. He nuzzles my neck and squeezes me closer. MY HEART. What do did I do to deserve such a precious puppy?

Joe's eyes suddenly widen at the chorus of "awhs" ringing in the room.

He chuckles nervously and shifts getting off me. He helps me up and grabs my hand pulling me through everyone blocking the door.

As we make it into the corridor Joe stops and turns to me. We stare into eachothers eyes for what feels like forever. A smile grows on his face as he quickly plants a kiss on my forehead and leaves me breathless in the hallway.

This boy has got me feeling all sorts of things.

Everyone begins to stream out the room and pat my back as they pass me to grab breakfast. I follow behind Connor and Marcus as everyone begins to take seats on the dining table and on the swinging chairs surrounding the island. Alfie and Zoe begin working together to make waffles while Jim and Tanya begin to make some toast.

"Right who wants toast" Jim shouts as multiple people reply.

"I'll have waffles Alfie!" I shout as I slip my phone out my pocket. I couldn't be bothered to get changed this morning. Me and Joe fell asleep in our usual clothes anyway.

I open Twitter to find #Jashleyisreal trending number 1; yet again. I sigh looking through the hashtag. Multiple Jashley update accounts are tweeting pictures and videos to which thousands of other people are fangirling over. I flick through a few accounts and find that some of these tweets have thousands of retweets. What the hell.
