You Being Imperfect makes You Perfect (Joe Goldberg x Reader)

Faster Then Expected

Joe's Pov

Soon as we got to the restaurant we were escorted to our table. We both sat and we started to chat.

"So Joe see you know how to look pretty." Hmm calling me pretty already? I can play this game.

"You don't look too bad yourself [Y/n] [L/n]." I'm being honest.

"Why thank you Joe. Always nice to receive a compliment once and a while." Once In a while? Don't worry I'm going to make sure to remind you everyday.

"Well then expect once and a while to occur a lot tonight." Have to tell you so you can expect it for our future.

"Woah Joe, is there a sexy flirtatious man I see hidden between all those books?" Sexy? Flirtatious? Damn I'm the one who's going to end up blushing.

"Cant tell, its my secret." Play the mystery card.

"Haha, very funny Clark Kent." Damn little did she know she is my kryptonite.

"Why thank you Lois Lane."

You and I laughed. All throughout the night we enjoyed ourselves well with each other. We laughed and you smiled and we eventually ate. As we were finishing up our meal. We both decided to stay for a little bit and chat more before we left. But everything can't always be perfect.

"So [Y,n] this is how you spend your days? Whoring yourself around to men when your neglecting your duties as well as husband. Shouldn't have expected anything less of a failure of a future ruler." Okay who the fuck is this dude? What gives him the right to talk to her like that?

I got up and stared straight at the old fool with pure hate. Behind this old man was another one. Younger than the old fart here. my father was my younger brother Adam. He hated me just as much as my father does. I couldn't even say anything, i was so embarrassed.

"Hey old man, dont go calling my girlfriend that. She isn't a whore and she isn't a failure. The only failure i see i am currently addressing." I said angrily. Who's this old man think he is?

"Listen here boy, you will address me with respect and i will be treated with such respect. Also your girlfriend here is my failure of a daughter. [Y,n] [L,n] of the royal family. My greatest disappointment ever. You two are perfect now that i think about it. Two failures together." I was pissed.

"Father, you have no right to call him that. You can rant all about me, call me all these names, but dont you ever assault my boyfriend. Your a despicable man, who shouldn't even be here. So go back to your snobby environment and dont call me a failure when you yourself cant even be a grown up when you address me." You grabbed my hand and started to lead me out till another guy said something.

"At least father didn't fail in protecting his people, especially his own family. At least he's not the reason why our youngest brother is dead." You looked furious. You let go of my hand and slowly walked towards the punk. You stood in front of him, and you punched him straight in his jaw. Damn what a woman!

I grabbed her hand and led us out. Walking to the car and driving us to your apartment. You remained quiet. I only held your hand while my other one gripped the steering wheel with white knuckles.

We got to your apartment. And as we said our goodbyes your embraced me in a hug. I hugged you back. You looked up at me with watery eyes.

"Can you stay the night? I know I sound like a baby but I would like it very much."

Wow already inviting me to stay at your place. Didn't expect to get this far on date one.

"You don't sound like one. I wouldn't mind anyway."

She smiled and leads me up to her apartment. Guiding me. Look at the progress I've made.

We get to your door. I already know where it is from my last visit. But you don't need to know that.

You take out a key from your purse and unlock the door. It's still like last time. Organized and clean.

You leave your stuff on your table before guiding me to your couch.

You let a sigh. Something wrong.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just sorry for what happened Joe. I know it couldn't have been fun or anything."

"Don't worry about me."

"I do though. Joe there's a part of my past that I don't like. But I feel like I have to share it with you." Well I already know. But I need to be your crouch right now.

"Hey look, don't tell me if you feel like you have to. Tell me when you want to. I can wait. I don't mind waiting for someone like you." You smiled. God that smile makes me weak inside.

"Thank you Joe. Your a keeper." A keeper huh?

"No problem. Look I should probably get goin-,"

"No!" You grab my wrist. You don't want me to leave.

"Look it's just, I don't want to be alone right now. Is it okay if you stay?" You look nervous. Gosh you really have not been in a relationship of any kind recently. Not that Im complaining. Because if there was I would need to remove them.

"Yea I don't mind. Is it okay with you though?"

"I don't mind. You company is enjoyable."

"Alright well since your staying you can have the bed." Aw that cute. Your manners are a good quality I like in my woman.

"That's no problem I can sleep on the couch."

"No I insist."

"But I insist you sleep on the bed."

"No"

"Yes"

"No

"Yes"

"No"

"Okay then how about this. We both sleep on the bed. I can put pillows between us so nothing happens. Deal?" Come on say yes.

"Sure." SCORE!

"Alright then. Let's get ready to sleep."

"Ok." You get up turning to go get dressed in what I would assume would be your pajamas. But you stop at the door and look at me.

"Joe."

"Yea?" What is it? Are you going to confess already?

"Thanks for earlier." I nod your way. Before you return to change.

Everything's at peace. At least now I have a reason not to go after the old man and the kid now.
