Can't Have You (#wattys2019)

Part 4

Patty's POV

Nanna and Monica came home late. Monica had a weird smile on her face and I just knew something happened. "Tell me everything!" I demanded.

She put both of her hands up in diffence. "Okay, okay. Soo... I meet someone in Rome."

"What? You were in Rome for like 8 hours. What's his name you foxy?" I said playfully and she turn all new shade of red. For a 28 year old woman she sure is shy.

"I know, I met him while shopping for groceries. His name is Jake. And he is from England." She said. "And he is freaking gorgeous. Like Tom Hardy gorgeous." She compared knowing that we both had a crush on Tom.

I smiled. I was really happy for her. "So what now did he gave you his number? Are you gonna met him? How long is he staying for?"

"Wooah slow down." She said. "He is comming to Tuscany in a few days. To met my bestriend."

I screamed from excitement. "You mean me? Well offcourse you do." We both laughed.

"Girls time to bed!" Nanna yelled, scoling us like we were 14 years old.

"Yes Nanna!" We both scremed together and then started laughing like crazy.

"Pat!" Monica called for me. "What do you think about this one?" She wanted to know my opinion about a dress for the date with Jake, she was currently buying.

She came out the wardrobe in a short black dress, only a few strings covering her back. My mouth fell open at how good she looked. I was only used to seeing her in pants and t-shirt never in a dress. "Jake's eyebals will fall out. I think this is the one."

Monica claped like a little girl and went to changed her old clothes back on. "We need to find one for you too."

I laughed. "Where do you think I would weare it? In a horse stable?" I joked.

"Oh shut up. We are gonna find you a boy toy." She peaked her head out of wardrobe and laughed at her own sillynes.

I just rolled my eyes.

"You are slowly turning into my brother." Monica teased. "I never saw you rolling your eyes before he came. Did something happen while we were away?" She said and winked.

I gulped. "Amm.. no he hates me." I lied. "And he's so not my tipe remember." I lied even harder and smiled when I was thinking about our dinner the other day.

Monica's voice snapped me out of my toughts. "Why are you laughing like someone showed you his butt?"

"I was just thinking how happy I am for you." I hate lying to her I
I really do. "Come on let's ho home now. We need to get that hair of yours under control."

"He said he'd be here at 8'o clock." Monica said pacing up and down kitchen.

I looked at my watch and it was 8:30. "Maybe there's traffic on the road." I tryed to calm her but I could tell something is off. He didn't even return her call from a few hours ago. "Let me check his Instagram account, maybe I will be able to reach him." I say and searched his name.

When I typed 'JAKE' a strange photo appeared. It wasn't the same it was in the morning. It was Jake but he was kissing another girl. "My my..." I say not even thinking.

Monica is now even more worried than before. And because I didn't say anything she took the phone and saw the picture for herself.

Tears start to form in her eyes and they slowly fell down her cheek. "I am so stupid I should have known."

I hugged her and wiped away her tears. "How could you know he is a bastard? I am sorry honny." I tryed to calm her down.

I got an idea. "How about I put my dress on and we go out by ourselfs and have fun dancing and singing and drinking." I whispered the drinking part since Nanna and Joe were also in the room.

"Aren't you full of great ideas." Joe said. "It's your fault she is crying right now and now you want to take her out drinking so some random guys could drool over her. Are you insane?"

Where is this coming from? "I get that she is your sister but..."

"I'm in!" Monica said stopping our litte fight. "I kow you worry about me but don't blame Pat. It's not her fault." She grabbed my hand and led me upstairs. "Now let's get you dressed."

***

I was standing on top of the stairs wearing a dress after what seemed like forever.

It was not an actuall dress but more like a red crop top and skirt down to my knees. I was a bit insecure about my wide hips bit it is what it is there's no way back now.

I inhale and do a few steps downstairs. Nanna and Monica were standing at the end of staircase waiting to see all of me and Joe was sitting in livingroom petting his dog Dumbo still mad because of his sister's tears.

He was actually wearing a casual outfit and when he looked up and our eyes meet his whole face expreasion sofftened.

I was fealing more and more insecure by every second he was looking at me. "Are we ready to go?" I asked trying to focus on something else than his eyes pircing trough me.

Monica squeeled. "Someones getting it tonight and it aint me."

I need to make sure she forgets all about Jake. I wiggled my heand from left to right softly laughing at how silly she is. "Shut up."

Nanna playfully slaped her and told her to watch her mouth and Joe suddenly shifted in his seat looking at me more intently now.

I laughed. "Can we just go taxy is waiting outside already."

Joe's POV

I watched as Monica and Patty were leaving trough the door and I grabbed my phone as fast as I could and dialed my friend's Gordon's number.

I can't let her go out in that dress showing all of her sexiness.

It took Gordon three beeps to long to answer. "Hey man, what are you saying you plus me tonight at the club? I' buying."
