My Next Door Neighbor Joe Sugg

Chapter 22

We were in the car for a while now and I was starting to become impatient. Joe had noticed and glanced at me. "We're almost there, just keep looking forward."

I shrugged and kept my gaze on the road. Soon enough, the London Bridge came into view and I sat up in my seat. Joe chuckled as we got nearer to the bridge. I smiled and leaned forward, trying to take in everything as much as possible.

"Joe, how did you know I wanted to see London Bridge? It was at the top of my to-do list." I chuckled as Joe grabbed my hand and gave it a light squeeze.

"I didn't but I'm glad you're enjoying it." He laughed as I took a picture of the bridge with my phone. The sun created a nice glimmer in the background and it looked quite professional, if I do say so myself.

"This isn't the last of our date, I still planned lots more!" Joe smiled happily as I let out a small laugh. This date was just full of surprises and I couldn't wait for whatever happened next.

Joe saw me fidgeting with my thumbs and turned on the radio. He began singing along and tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. I laughed and sang along with him. I was honestly surprised with his voice. He sounded much better than I but he didn't seem to care. He was smiling and having fun which made me feel happy as well.

Joe told me to close my eyes as we were getting closer to wherever he was taking me. I did as he said and felt the car come to a slow stop. "Don't open your eyes yet, wait until I say so." Joe excitedly said to me as I heard his door open and close.

I felt his hand on mine as he guided me out of the car. I stood up straight and felt a slight breeze tickle my face. "Okay, open your eyes!" Joe let go of my hand as I opened my eyes.

I slowly looked at Joe as he pointed upwards. I followed the direction he was pointing at and looked up to see the London Eye. My eyes widened as I stared at the moving attraction.

Joe grabbed my wrist and pulled me along with him as we got in line. "You're not afraid of heights, are you?" He looked at me worriedly and I shook my head, smiling.

"No, not that much. Besides, I have you with me so I'll be safe." I kissed his cheek and his face immediately flushed pink. I chuckled softly as we moved forward in line. I had never done that and I was surprised with myself. Joe seemed quite shocked too but he was smiling widely which made my heart beat faster.

Soon after, it was our turn to get on. Joe stepped in first and took my hand as I followed after him. We were slowly lifted up to the sky. I stared down at the buildings below us. The river was flowing and there was even a boat floating down the river.

The ride had stopped and we were at the very top. We could see most of London and I was enjoying every bit of it. Joe's arms wrapped around my waist as he rested his head on my shoulder. I held his hands as we both looked around us, gazing at the scenery.

Joe suddenly turned me around so I was facing him. His eyes looked into mine, I could see a hint of excitement in them. He slowly leaned forward and kissed me gently. "I'm so glad you're here with me. I love you so much." Joe said in between our kiss.

I smiled and pulled away, looking into his eyes as they glazed with passion. "I love you too." I pulled Joe into a hug and squeezed him slightly.

Our ride in the London Eye ended just as we pulled away. Joe sighed and held my hand as we stepped out. "Alright, next we're going shopping." He said as we got into the car once more.

"So, finally you tell me where we're going?" I crossed my arms and leaned back into the seat.

"Well shopping isn't really something special that could be surprising." Joe shrugged and leaned forward as he increased the speed.

It seemed as if he were in a hurry too. I shrugged it off, thinking he's probably just having fun with the car.
