Chapter 8

I woke up with arms around me. I was sleeping on my side and saw it was just Joe, still asleep. I turned around so I was facing him and kissed his soft, gentle lips. It woke him up and made him groan.

"Why are you here?" He groaned.

"It's my house..?"

"I thought I was at Mila Kunis' mansion."

"You get what you get and you don't throw a fit." I told him and he smiled. I began to get out of bed and tickle his feet as he flinched by almost falling off the bed. "Cmon, get up, sleepyhead."

"Five more minutes." He yelled.

I rolled my eyes and went into the kitchen and started cooking breakfast. I made eggs, bacon, sausage, and poured some pink lemonade because we were out of orange juice.

After I finished, I checked the time. 9:12. I went to wake Joe up and he was in his boxers, getting changed into a red t-shirt. I blushed and quietly knocked on the door. He turned around and saw that I was looking at him and he blushed. I slightly bit my lip and went up to him and pulled him in for a long deep kiss before a question popped into my head.

"I have a question." I said, holding his hand.

"Yes, love?" He concerned. His hair looked so messy, it made him look cuter.

"...what do you consider us? Friends, friends with benefits.."

"Dating, obviously. I've flirted with you since day one, we went on a date yesterday, and we kissed last night. It's not like I've been keeping it a secret from you. If that's not dating, I don't know what is." He justified.

He did have a point. "So, we're boyfriend and girlfriend?" I asked once more to classify.

"Yes." He then smiled and continued to kiss me.

At least I finally moved on from Joey.

"Do you have to leave?" I cried, holding his hand since we got to the airport.

It's later on that day. Joe had to catch his plane back to England so he could go back home, but I really didn't want him to leave. We just start dating and he was already leaving me. Nyielle was in my arms and Bryce was in Joe's.

"I'm sorry, love, but I have to go. Caspar needs a roommate and I need somewhere to live." He pleaded.

"Caspar can go on Angie's List and find a new roommate, and you always have me to live with."

"What about my family? They'll miss me."

"Skype, FaceTime, text message, whatsapp. Any kind of communication app."

"Which is what you can also use to get in contact with me."

"But I need you here." I pouted.

He kissed me again. "Wait till you move to London, you'll see me again." He smirked as I hear his plane being called. "I've gotta go."

He tried to release his hand but I just couldn't do it, it was just too painful.

"Nina, I have to leave." He strangled, trying to get me to let go.
