Finally seeing him again

stopping for coffee

The car ride home was great. Beau and I took a separate car home and stopped in a cute little cafe right beside the motorway. Two girls recognised him and approached our table. They looked at Beau and literally blanked me. But, when they did notice I was there, they gave me the coldest looks possible. I heard them mutter a few words that I don't want to repeat and Beau noticed that they hurt me and the look on his face changed from 'being happy to talk to fans' to a look I had never seen before.

"I think I’m gonna have to ask you to leave, girls". The girls' faces dropped. They looked at each other with disbelief.

"But- but why?" one girl said, almost in a whisper.

"Because I just heard what you said about my girlfriend". One of the girls swore under her breath. "Sorry girls but you've missed your chance" Beau said with a shrug. The girls looked like they might have cried but they left the cafe. I looked out the window and stared at the road, the cars rushing past us. I sipped my coffee.

"Hey", said Beau softly, "They're just jealous because I'm with you. I'm in love with you, (Y/N)". That’s the first time he had said he loved me. I felt the same way but I didn’t know he did.

"You love me?" I said looking straight into his eyes.

"Yeah, I do. I couldn’t stop thinking about you the entire time I was on tour. I'm in love with you".

"I love you too!" I got so overwhelmed that I almost shouted it. Beau grinned at me and I grinned back.

He held my hand across the table and we sat for a moment in silence, smiling at each other. Eventually the silence was broken by Beau saying:

“Ya know… we should ummm… probably get home soon. The guys will probably be wondering where we are. I never told them we were stopping for a coffee.”

“Yeah, I guess, I’m almost finished mine.”

“Me too.” We took our last few gulps of coffee and left a tip on the table next to the empty mugs. As we left the café, Beau held the door open for me and I kissed him on the cheek as I walked through it. We walked across the car park to our car and climbed into the front seats. Beau flicked on the radio and Fall Out Boy was still on. The entire way home we just sang along to their album Save Rock and Roll. A perfect car journey home.

When we got home Luke was the first person we saw. He looked up and smirked at us.

“Where’ve you guys been?” he winked at Beau.

“Fuck off Luke. We only stopped for coffee. But actually there is some mean fans out there.”

“What’d you mean?”

“Two girls said something to hurt (Y/N) in the café. They wanted pictures but they said something horrible about her so I had to tell them to leave”

“Shit. Sorry (Y/N)” I shook my head as if to say ‘it’s fine’. Luke shrugged apologetically at me and walked away.

“Let’s go upstairs and watch a movie. Your choice” Beau held out his hand and I grab it, he pulls me upstairs to his room as I run in and slump on the bed. He sits next to you and puts his hand on my thigh.

“So what’ll it be babe?” he says with a smile.
