•Joe's pov•

Another boring day working in the cafe again, serving the same old couple and making myself sneaky cups of hot chocolates in between shifts.
I was about to make one of these cups when my boss came out and told me to go round to the back, so I followed her. That's when I saw him.

"Joe, this is the new boy I was on about. Can you just show him what to do and get him used to everything please." My boss said, flicking her hair out of the way. I nodded and she went off to work on menu designs or something important like that. Once she was gone, my attention was drawn to the boy stood in front me.
The boy looked down at his shoes, hiding his face with floppy blonde bleached hair. "Hey, I'm Joe."
I held out my hand and he took it, shook it and spoke for the first time.
"I'm Jack, nice to meet you." Jesus Christ, his voice was so soft. Jack looked up at me, showing off his crystal blue eyes. We both smiled and walked to the coffee machine to see what he could do already.

He was pretty good to be honest, probably even better than me.
"Ok then, so that's all I've got to test you on so you wanna ditch work and wonder the streets? I think it's our break anyway. What'd you say?" I asked, it was quiet at the cafe so we could get away with it.
"That'd be cool, let me just sort out this weird brown outfit then I'll be out. Meet in 5?" I nodded, not really sure what he was gonna do. Jack walked off so I took my apron off and stuck on my cap.

Looking at myself in the back room's mirror, I thought to myself.
"This uniform needs to be changed. It's a horrible outfit for going out in." I tried covering it with my coat but the collar of the brown shirt still stuck out, it had to do though cause Jack was waiting for me.
I walked into the main room to see Jack still wearing the uniform but looking fit in it for some reason. Did I just say he looked fit? Jesus Joe! You don't even know the guy! Well now it was my time to get to know him.
"You ready?"
"Yep! Let's go."

Then a voice interrupted us whilst we got up to leave. It was our boss.
"Where do you think you're going Joe Sugg? You're supposed to be setting a good example for Jack but you go and try leave work early! I'm very ashamed of you Joe, now get to work both of you!" Shit, we got caught. I stumbled back behind the counter and stayed silent for awhile. Whilst I was cleaning the tables, I saw Jack staring at me in the corner of my eye.
"You like this?" I asked, smirking as I leant against the counter where he was standing. Jack's face went bright red as he looked down.
"Look, if you can wait a couple of minutes then we can leave for real and you can see more of this." Bloody hell, what kind of confidence waved past me for me to say that! I had left Jack shocked as I walked away.
"Jack! Joe! You can leave now!" And with that, we both smiled at each other and ran out the door.

"So glad that's over, wanna come back to mine?" Jack said out of the blue.
"So you can see more?" I smirked.
"If that's what you want then sure, I wanna see a lot more."
We stepped into Jack's flat and flopped down on the sofa after our day at work.
Netflix was obviously put on and we spent all night just chilling on his sofa eating loads of unhealthy shit and downing bottles of beer.

It was getting very late and I realised that I had to be home because my sister was coming round in the morning.
"Hey Jack, I need to go! You seen the time?" I nudged the blonde boy who was cuddled up with his head resting on my lap.
"I don't want you to go babe!" Did he just babe me? It felt good but I felt bad for having to leave because he looked so cosy.
"I'll FaceTime you when I get home so we can still be together, kind of."

With a moan from Jack and a strong hug, I was off home and regretting not staying longer. I got home, got changed for bed and straight away called Jack. Of course he picked up straight away, looking cute topless and with messy hair.
"Hey babe, you ok?"
"Of course I am now I'm on call to you, you just make my day."
"Glad to hear that Sugg. Can't wait for tomorrow though, when I can physically be there with you again. Because today was amazing."
Suddenly there was knock at my door, I wondering who it was.
"Sorry Jack, I need to check who this is. Be right back babe."

I opened my door to reveal my confused sister.
"Who you calling babe? Is someone here?" She heard me?
"Erm, hi. I'm just on call to someone." I had to be honest because she'd find out somehow what was going on.
"Joe? Babe? Who is it?? I'll end the call if you want me to, don't wanna disturb anything."
Zoe raised her eyebrow at me and marched into my bedroom where my phone was, this is also where Jack was just waiting for me to say something.

"I'll go babe. See you tomorrow at work Joe. Just so you know that I love you so much even though I haven't known you that long. Bye babe."
Jack's face disappeared and Zoe turned round to me.
"Joe, who was that?"
"Oh, just a guy from work. Jack..." Zoe suddenly hugged me.
"I'm here for you, you know that right?"
I nodded, not sure why she was saying this.

"You love the boy too right?" Where was she going with this?
"I think so, yeah I do." I lowered my head abit.
"Well, if you're happy then there's no need to be ashamed. Raise that big head of yours and be proud! Call him back, I'll just be in the spare room if you need to me." Zoe walked off as I thanked her. It was good to know that she was happy for me.

Sitting down on my bed, I called up Jack again.
"Hey babe, who was that?"
"It was my sister, she just wanted to know who you were."
" oh ok, hope you told her all good things about me!" A cute laugh echoed around my room.
"I mean, I told her that I loved you so that's good right?"
"Wait, you told your sister that you loved a boy that you'd just met that day? Are you ok? Did you mean it?"
"Of course I bloody meant it Jack! I love you so much even though we just met. Today was amazing and that's just one day! Imagine what we could with the rest of our lives!" I think I went abit far but Jack didn't pick up on it.
"Wow Joe. I love you too babe."
He blew a kiss to the screen and I did the same. He laughed a bit afterwards.
"We have to do that for real tomorrow because that was just not enough. No offence like!" Now it was my turn to laugh.
"Definitely have to do that. Right, I need to sleep Jack. Love you so much babe."

"Love you too..."
