A long journey ~ a Joe Sugg and Caspar Lee fanfiction

Chapter 8: Questions and dinners

A/N: I couldn't find a photo of Joe, Caspar, Zoe and Theo but that will do🙁😆

Joes POV:

Tonight's the night.

I'm actually doing this.

Tonight I'm going to ask Theo out.

Right after her little brother asked me out.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

I'm standing in front of my wardrobe trying to decide what to wear. After trying on most of my clothes and yelling at Zoe for her terrible suggestions I finally decided to wear a white t shirt with a big black jacket and ripped black skinny jeans. I chuck on some white converse and walk into the bathroom. I styled my hair and brushed my teeth.

As if on que, Zoe yells "Joe!!! They're here!"

"Coming!" I call as I walk out of my room and down the stairs.

When I walk into the lounge room I see Caspar and Theo sitting on the couch and Zoe starting to walk back into the kitchen.

"Hey Joe." Caspar noticed me first and waved in my direction.

"Hi Caspar. Hi Theo." I said and walk over to them and sat the armchair across the room from where the two were sat on the couch.

"Hi Joe. How are you today?"

"Good, thanks. What about you?" I answer with a smile.

"Great." Theo smiles.

"I better go see if Zoe needs any help. Be right back." I said and got right up from the chair I only just sat on.

"Hey Zoe, need any help?" I said as I walked into the kitchen to see Zoe mixing a big pan of spaghetti bolognese sauce.

"Yes, actually." She turned to look at me, "Can you reach the pasta on the top shelf in the pantry?" The older girl said as she pointed to the pantry.

I hummed as a response and walked across the room to the pantry. When I opened the doors I realised that I could defenatly not reach that.

"I can't reach it, Zoe. How did you even get it up there?" I asked when I walked out of our walk-in pantry.

She shrugged so I walked over to the dining room to grab a chair for me to stand on.

"Wait! No, no, no." Zoe turned her attention back on me instead of the food she was cooking and took the wooden chair out of my hands.

"Caspar's tall, right?" I nodded, "So, go get him and ask if he can get it down for me. That will give you time to ask Theo out!" She exclaimed with a smile and a clap.

"But it won't take long. You know, for Caspar to get pasta off the shelf." I disagreed with this. I was just going to do it after we ate.

"Oh, well, I'll distract him for a little while longer. It's perfect!" Zoe turned me around and pushed me out of the room.

I was practically shitting my pants as I walked into the lounge room. I was so, so nervous.

"Hey, Caspar?" He turned his head in my direction and smiled.

"Yes?"

"Zoe needs a little help getting something down from the top shelf and I can't reach. Would you be able to get it?"

"Course." He smiled and stood up. When he walked past me our shoulders brushed and my arm started tingling. Soon enough, that tingling sensation reached my ringer tips and I suddenly realised how nervous I actually was.

My palms started sweating and everything started getting a little blurry. My breathing sped up and I was struggling to see.

"Joe? Are you alright?" Theo stood from the couch and put her hand on my right shoulder. Just the simple gesture helped my breathing and suddenly everything went back to normal when my eyes landed on Theo's angelic face.

"Yeah," I breathed, "Sorry about that. Something came over me."

"That's fine, as long as your alright." She took her hand off my shoulder and the warmth instantly left me.

"Actually, Theo, I wanted to ask you something." I said sitting down on the three seater couch.

"And what might that be?" The blonde sat next to me.

"I, uh.......um, was wondering if you, uh, wanted to, um, go out to dinner with me sometime." I said awkwardly, not looking into those ocean blue eyes that I could easily get lost in.

"Like, a date?" She grinned like a 4 year old when their mum tells them she's got chocolate for them.

I nodded sheepishly, suddenly very interested in my fingers sitting in my lap.

"Joe, look at me." She used two fingers to lift up my chin. I tried to avoid her eyes but she eventually found mine.

"I would love to go on a date with you." She said softly.

My face broke into a full grin and I was about to reply when she said,

"But don't tell Caspar."

I was a bit confused at first but if she didn't want to tell her little brother that was fine with me.

"Ok."

I was going to say more but Caspar walked in and announced,

"Dinners ready!"

Me and Theo smiled and walked into the dining room where Zoe pulled me into the kitchen.

"Did you ask her?" She whispered as the two South Africans were just a couple of meters away.

"Yep." I said sadly with a frown.

"Oh, Joe I'm so sorry-" she started.

"She said yes!" I whisper yelled.

"Seriously?" I nodded, "Joe! I told you she would! And don't do that to me!" It was her turn to whisper yell this time.

I giggled and we walked over to the two blondes who were now sitting at the table.

After the Lee's had left, and Zoe had insisted on doing the dishes even though she cooked, I went and had a shower. After I had brushed my teeth and gotten changed, I got into bed. It was only 10.30pm but I thought I would hit the hay.

I lost track of time (like always) and ended up going to sleep around 1.30 in the morning. Watching YouTube takes up a lot more time than you would think.
