Mascara Tears

Chapter Seven

ZOE

as soon as they walked out of the lift I could tell something was different, the chemistry between them had changed somehow. There was something in Floras smile, she was practically beaming! Alfie had suggested that he and Joe spent the morning at the gym so I could have a catch up with Flo.

FLO

I piled food from the buffet onto my plate. That's one thing I missed from Italy,the food in England was crappy in comparison. I couldn't wait to speak to Zoe alone. I wanted to ask her advice on Joe!

~~~~~

After breakfast the boys went of to the gym and left me and Zoe in Zoe and Alfies room. Zoe was showing me her new NAKED eyeshadow pallet she had been sent. We were just gossiping when I decided to slip in a question.

"so has Joe said anything to you?"

"no, not really. what about??!'

"nothing just curious,"

"what's happened between you too, something has changed," Zoe asked suspiciously, I blushed "nothing" I said submissively trying to push Zoe away and change the conversation.

I decided to go back up to the room and wait for Joe so as to avoid any aqward questions or looks from Zoe.

I was crouched in the corner of the room folding some of my clothes when Joe came back. He appeared not to have noticed me as he flopped onto the bed. He nodded along to the music blasting from his ear phones and started a text to someone that I couldn't see.

*Hey Zo.

I don't know what to do about Flo I think I really love her Zoe I've only known her a couple of weeks but she's the most amazing person. I tried asking Alf for help but you know he's useless! I think tonight is too soon to make a move. Help meeee!!!

J xxx*

Joe seemed to be done on his phone as he jumped off the bed leaving it behind. he pushed his floppy fringe of his forehead, sweaty after a long session at the gym. I gulped. His hands were dragging his tshirt up his torso slowly reavling his sweaty body. oh damn he was hot. his tshirt got higher and higher, V lines then abbs, then nipples then his big strong muscular shoulders and arms. I kept still. I didnt quite know why I was hiding in a corner but it was to late now anyway as Joe had disappeared into the bathroom, probably for a shower.

JOE

I walked out of the bathroom to be greeted by the sight of Flo lying sprawled on our bed.

" nice time with Zoe?" I asked getting her attention,

"yeah it was fun,"

I sat down next to her and planted a kiss on her cheek, I asked her if she was coming to the small party/ gathering that night but she said she didnt feel that great so she wouldn't go but that I should go anyway.

"well shall we do something now instead?"

"Yeah!! Sure!"

"Pool?"

Whats Joe going to do about the those feelings for Flo? what if he ruins it between them?
