13.) girlfriend tag

The past week has been fairly quiet. I don't know what I expected to happen really, after Zoe outed us in Alfie's vlog. It just seems like something would've happened by now, but it hasn't.

It's beginning to get really late as I lay on Joe's bed. He's been in the bathroom showering for about twenty minutes, shouting lyrics really loud. I can hear Caspar and Oli screaming at the TV while they play on the Xbox.

I pick up Joe's guitar that is resting by his bed. I begin playing the only song I really know how to play. When I was little, my mom put me into guitar lessons in hopes that I would, in her own words, "become more normal." I don't remember much from my five years of guitar lessons, but I do remember learning how to play Disenchanted by My Chemical Romance.

"You play?" I hear my boyfriend's voice say as the door opened. I look up at him in his sweatshirt and pajama pants.

"A bit." I answer, stopping my fingers on the strings and putting the guitar down.

"No, please. Continue." He says, joining me on the bed. He rests his head on the pillow beside me and closes his eyes as I begin playing again. "Are there lyrics?"

"Um, yeah." I say, continuing to pluck the same few strings.

"Go on, then." He urges. "Don't tell me no, either. I know you can sing. You sing every time there's music within a ten mile radius." I close my mouth from a protest before I begin singing the slow song.

"Well, I was there on the day, they sold the cause for the queen. And when the lights all went out, we saw our lives on the screen. I hate the ending myself, but it started off with an alright scene. It was the roar of the crowd that gave me heartache to sing. It was a lie when they smiled and said, 'You won't feel a thing'." I try to not stare at Joe's concentrated face as he lays right beside me.

When the song is over, I place the guitar on his stomach before he can sit up. "Now, when are you going to sing to me?" I ask, turning to look at him. After sitting the guitar on the floor, Joe lays back down on the bed.

"As soon as you draw me." He replies, smirking. He pulls me down to where I'm laying right next to him, so he can kiss my temple. I roll over on to my stomach to kiss him. We lay there for a short moment in silence except for the soft sounds of our lips and breathing. The boys upstairs have grown very quiet, and I begin to wonder why until I hear a gasp.

I don't even have to turn and look to know that it is Caspar. I lay my head face-first on Joe's chest as Caspar begins shouting, just like Caspar always does. I don't think I've ever actually heard him talk quietly. "There are children in the house!" He complains, jokingly.

"Piss off, Caspar!" Joe calls, placing a hand on the back of my head. I laugh as I hear the bathroom door close. I pick my head up and look at Joe intently. "Do you want to film?" He asks, completely changing the subject.

I agreed to do to a Girlfriend Tag video with him, but honestly, I'm not looking forward to it at all. I groan and dramatically roll over on to my back. "It's eleven o'clock." I say as he begins pushing me up into a sitting position.

"If we get it done now, we don't have to do it later." He says. It's the same thing all my teachers told me throughout my entire education. I stare at him completely unamused as he stands from the bed. "If you really don't want to, we don't have to." He immediately offers after seeing me.

"No, it's okay. I'm just being petty." I respond, scooting to the end of the bed where Joe is setting up his camera.

"You're almost always petty, love." Joe says, turning his large ring light on. I'm temporarily blinded before Joe steps in front of the huge light.
