Chapter seventeen- Date two

"Let me redeem myself," Joey says, as you both walk home together on Friday.

"How?" you ask.

"So... this Saturday? Want to go apple-picking?" he smiles, and you look at him.

"Joey..." you say.

"Please?" he says, and you can feel the begging and slight pain in his voice. Not physical pain, but begging, emotional pain.

"Fine," you finally agree, giving in to Joey's beautiful ways of trying to love you.

*AT THE APPLE-PICKING FARM*

"I'm so sorry about my Mom asking all those weird questions in the car," you say, blushing of embarrassment.

"It's okay, love," he smiles, taking your hand, which at first feels so wrong to you but then your hand loosens, "I understand," he adds.

"Thanks," you say awkwardly.

You walk with Joey and try find the apple tree that is on the map. Slowly, you are beginning to forgive Joey, even though Joey has already forgiven you. 

During the time you and Joey were walking to the tree, you had an entire conversation.

"So what are you doing after school on Monday?" Joey asks.

"Not much, why?" you question.

"I'm coming to your house then," he says.

"Oh, are you now? Well, my parents won't be home," you reply.

"Even better," he smirks, and you roll you eyes, smiling.

"You wish," you say, then run over to the tree.

Once you have both finished picking apples, your Mom picked you up then took Joey home, then took you home.

Then, once you arrived home, you a text from Joey.

joey: already miss you :/

y/n: aw, how much?

joey: to the moon and back a million times, love.

y/n: well that's a shame, you'd probably be dead in the time it would take.

joey: hey!

y/n: jk, ily

joey: good, ily more though

y/n: ohh, i didn't mean it like that fully....

joey: oh.

y/n: i'm kidding jeez xxx

After that, Joey was texting you like crazy. 

But you ignored his messages.
