'She Doesn't Get It' - A Josh Hutcherson Fanfic.

part seven.

Part 7, Josh's POV:

I couldn't hold this in any longer. I told her the one emotion that represents what I feel for her, and that word happens to be love.

"I love you too." She smiled and put her hand in mines.

I'm not the type to fall so quickly but she's the only one I'd fall for all over again.

"So... are we a couple or what?" I faced her and she nodded happily.

"Well that was uplifting, I thought you hated me."

"Ugh, no. Don't think that." She giggled at the last part and Connor walked in.

"What's up, love birds? Are we going into town today?" I looked at Connor then back at Thalia, she shrugged and nodded.

I want to spoil her today.

Thalia's POV:

He said he loved me. He said it first. Truth is, I love him too, I really do.

Connor suggested that we go into town and shop since it's getting hotter every minute of the day, summer's coming up!

I put on some new denim shorts and a flowy tank with my new ray-bans, black of course, and slipped my TOMS on.

We walked out to the car and drove to town, blasting Red Hot Chili Peppers and I got to know Connor and we told him about us being a couple.

"So, Thalia, can I call you Lia?"

"Sure." I smiled at him and he returned it.

"Well Lia," emphasizing my nick name "Do you have someone special in your life?" He winked at me and I giggled but Josh was listening and started laughing quietly too.

"Yes, yes I do." I smiled at the fact proudly.

"Really?! It's no surprise because you're beautiful and all but who's the lucky bastard?!" 

"It's your brother!" Josh and I started cracking up and Connor was happy but a bit down so I just gave him a peck on the cheek.

"That's so much nicer than having my mom do that." 

When he finished we parked and stepped out the car. We were good for like a minute when I remembered that Josh is a celebrity when the paps were surrounding us. Josh held me close while we tried walking down and I held on to Connor so he wouldn't get hurt. We just smiled and asked politely if they could leave but they said only if I gave them my name.

"Don't do it, Lia." Connor whispered in my ear.

Luckily no one heard and we walked into Abercombie & Fitch with no one following us.

We walked out thirty minutes later with something for each of us.

We shopped for two hours and ate at some Italian restaurant. A girl a bit older was everywhere we went and I saw her take pictures of us but didn't say anything as I didn't want to make a scene but soon regretted it and told Josh. He paid and we left watching over our shoulders. We safely left without her behind us and went to the beach. Connor went to the water and started playing foot ball with kids around the same age as him. Surprisingly, there wasn't as many people here and it was 5 PM. That's when Josh sighed to catch my attention.

"What's up?"

"That lady who was following us is gonna go online and post those pictures of us with Connor."

"I know..."

"I'm sure she overheard your name at lunch too."

"Maybe she won't?"
