Him ; J.D.

Chapter Førty-Sïx: Søøñ

So I'd like to point something out that I'm not sure if a lot of you caught onto. If u remember in the previous chapter Zoey has the dream with Zeke. I'm not sure if u guys paid attention and caught onto something important in the dialogue. If u remember, the last thing she asked him was if shed see him again? Zeke responded with "This isnt goodbye. I'll see you in another place.." If u hadn't already realized that line was to specify that Zeke is finally at peace. 😊 He can move on now because he knows Josh will protect his baby sister. His soul is at peace and he can finally rest. I figured that was important to explain 💙💚 Enjoy

"Hey baby, its almost 11am. Did you wanna get up now?" Josh nuzzled the back of Zoey's neck and kissed her upper back. "We probably should." She groaned. "With the furniture and yeah." She stretched out her arm. "What you don't think I can lift it all?" He snickered. "Nooo. No. No. No." She whined and faced him. "Of course you can. My strong cotton candy drummer boy." She nuzzled his chest. Josh hugged her and smiled. "I'm gonna go feed Alina breakfast. Meet me downstairs?" He kissed her head. "Mmkay." She rolled off him. Josh put on his jeans and headed downstairs finger combing his hair.

Zoey grumbled and then got up. She vaguely remembered the dream. She got up and went to the bathroom. She went to grab her toothbrush. "Oh right." Zoey sighed when wasn't there.  She reached into her pants and grabbed a mint she had. "This'll do." She shrugged. Slumping down stairs in her shorts and a tee shirt, Zoey plopped onto the couch. Josh smiled and walked over. "If you want I can do it mys-" "Nooooo." She reached her hand out. Josh laughed as she touched his chest. Zoey felt up and down as her face was buried into the couch. "Ohhh someone's not wearing a shirt." She said muffled. He snickered and held her hand. "I appreciate shirtless Josh." She told him muffled before laughing. "Well you'll see a lot more of him once we finish moving all your stuff." He grinned. "Yayyy!" Zoey sat up and threw her arms in the air. Josh pulled her into a hug. "Mm I love you." She kissed his shoulder. "I love you too baby." He held her. "Wanna go get something to eat real quick?" He brushed her hair out of her face. "No-" "Don't fight me on the money thing missy." He smiled. "Fine." She kissed his cheek. "I'm going like this and flip flops. Too lazy." She stretched. "That's fine. Let me grab a shirt and my keys." He smiled and got up. Zoey slipped on her flipflops and waited outside. Josh grabbed his keys and they headed out.

"Drive through?" He asked. "Yeah " she nodded. Josh pulled up to the drive through. "Moving truck in a drive through. Not something you see everyday." She snickered. "Hey its fits and I don't feel like walking." He laughed. Zoey held his hand. He smiled at her and rubbed her hand with his thumb. Josh ordered them breakfast burritos and pulled up to the window. The lady was surprised to see him in the truck. He paid for it and she handed him the food. Josh drove the truck back down the road to her apartment. On the way back he glanced at Zoey. She was staring at her promise ring. "You okay?" He asked holding her hand. "Hm? Oh yeah." She smiled. "You sure? You're just awfully quiet." He smiled warmly at her. "I'm just thinking." She kissed his hand. "About?" He blushed. "Moving in." She scratched her neck. "Are you having second thoughts?" He frowned. "No! No! I just, I'll be honest because last time I kept something in things ended bad." She sighed. Josh nodded. "I'm just worried is all." She said. "I'm worried that, with all this time we've spent on tour and now me moving in, you're gonna get tired and bored of me.." She started biting the inside of her mouth. Josh tapped her cheek and shook his head. "How'd you know?" She raised a brow. "I can see you. No matter how hard you try and hide it." He made a turn. "Josh where are we going? My apartment is the other way." She raised a brow. He stayed silent and drove further down the road. "Josh. Where are we going?" She faced him. He turned into a parking lot and parked the truck. "Josh. What's wrong?-" Josh unbuckled and kissed Zoey. "I will never get tired of you. You hear me? Never. I love you Zoe. You're my Zoreo." He caressed her cheek. She smiled. He looked at her smile and grinned. Josh kissed her again. She kissed him back. "Let's go eat and finish getting your stuff to the house." He winked and got back in his seat. Zoey blushed and smirked. She looked out the window playing with her necklace as he pulled out of the parking lot and drove to her apartment.
