Because of Joe

Chapter 38

Chapter 38

"This is so cute Joe." I was looking at the picture he posted on Instagram. It was the one we took earlier and I'm still wearing my Mickey Mouse ears. He puts his arm over my shoulders and he points to a few games.

"I can totally win you the Stitch stuffed toy." He grins.

"Oh really?" I asked.

"Yea I'm pro at these games." He walks to the stand. I stood aside crossing my arms and smiling.

"Alright you have to shoot all the aliens to earn the bigger prices, shoot 10 aliens you get the medium prizes, and shoot 5 uoy I get the small prizes." The guy who ran the game explained.

"Watch babe." He smiles at me and I shook my head grinning.

"I am, I am." I tilt my head to the side as he took his stance. I giggled a little and he winks at me.

"Dang these aliens are fast." He looked at the big screen.

"Come on Joe I'd really like a Stitch stuffed toy." I said. He closed on eye and he was actually doing really good.

"You'll have one don't worry." He stuck out his tongue concentrating on the game. Yes I did have one. He shot all the aliens and even a few bonus points. "What did I say?" He hands me over the big Stitch stuffed toy .

"You'll get me it. Thanks Joe. It's so cute." I hugged it.

"Can I get a kiss?" He strokes my hair. I leaned closer and our lips touched. I taste the cotton candy and lemonade we had earlier. Joe pulls me to his chest and Stitch was sandwiched between us. "You wanna go on the other rides?" He whispers.

"Yea." I grabbed his hand and I felt like I was seven and I started skipping. Joe had this huge smile on his face as he watched me.

There was a few Disney characters and we took some pictures with them. Joe bought me some ice cream and I stood by him as we enjoyed it. His Mickey Mouse ears were falling forward and I pushed it up again. We went on even more rides before we went to eat for dinner. It wasn't a fancy dinner but I actually had fun. There was those coloring pages they give to the little kids and while we waited for our food to come Joe and I started coloring, playing tic tac toe, and answering Disney trivia questions. We both giggled and he puts his arm around me. I love it when he does that. Then he looks at me and when I return the stare he looks back to what he was looking at before. We walked around even until midnight and there was still people awake and wandering. I see Joe glance at his watch once and a while. There was small cute smile on his face. Even if we stay only overnight it felt like we did a lot. We we went to all the different parks and now I'm exhausted. Joe could see it too so we went back to our suite for the night. I put Stitch by the pillows and Joe goes off the change into pjs. I went through my messages and Ilani was asking on how was everything and I replied a lot of heart emojis. After both of us were change into our pajamas I hid under the covers bringing Stitch with me. I hear Joe laughing and he lifts the comforter following me. "What are you doing?" He asked. I looked at him and it was dark but I could see the outline of his lips and nose.

"Hiding." I smiled.

"From me?" He pulls my arms and I was pressed against his chest.

"Something like that." I giggled as he nuzzles my neck. "Joe I hope you had fun. I know I did and it's not even my birthday." I laughed a little.

"What are you talking about this is pretty much both our birthdays. I didn't get to treat you out on your birthday so..." There was silence after that. I stroked his chin and I felt his beard no longer that light stubble.
