Jack - sorry I can't make tonight, got a meeting to go to
Joe - ye same, w the new movie and all

They were acting strange, very strange. Normally Jack and Joe would always be up for a night with the boys, but recently it's all stopped as there's been lots of 'meetings' and other stuff they needed to do. I'd had enough enough of it so I rang up my little brother.

C - Hey Jack! How you doing?
J - I'm fine I guess, just working out what to wear
C - just wear something smart, considering it's a meeting and all
J - ye I guess so, I'm sorry about tonight
C - don't worry bout it! We can always get the boys together another night
J - you sure?
C - positive. Now go to your meeting! You're gonna be late
J - bye Conor
C - bye...

Something was up and I needed to know what was going on. Just the way that Jack spoke hinted that he was hiding something.

That call with my brother was the hardest thing I've had to do. Lying to his face was horrible. Anyway, I had to shake it away because I had some deciding to do - What should I wear for my date? By the way, I was off to a fancy restaurant with my boyfriend of 6 months - Mr. Joe Sugg. Tonight had to be special as he would be away for 3 weeks afterwards.

I looked in the mirror at my outfit. A cute red and grey shirt with black (surprising not ripped) jeans and my smartest shoes. Not a bad choice. My hair had been freshly dyed that morning so it looked good for once.

Babe♥️ - u ready? Xxx
Me - of course I am, pick u up at 6:30?xxx
Babe♥️ - sure, I'm ready for ya xxx

Now all I had to do was drive to Joe's without getting spotted by any of the boys, simple right?

Getting ready to drive off, I put on some music and sorted out my hair for the 100th time that evening. It was 6:20, giving me just enough time to drive to Joe's. I took the hand break off and I swerved through the streets of London to get to my destination. Whilst I was driving, thoughts ran through my head.
What if tonight isn't as amazing as I want it to be? What if the boys find out? What if Joe doesn't love me when he gets back? I shook my head, got out the car and walked into the lift. I decided to give my fans on Instagram a quick mirror selfie as I rode up to my boyfriend's apartment.

Ding! I was there, at his door, just waiting to hear his voice again, see his face and feel his touch. The door opened and there he stood.
"Hey babe." Joe embraced me as he locked his door. He looked amazing, his outfit complimenting his ocean eyes.
"Fuck..." slipped out my mouth as I admired the boy I called mine.
"I mean, we haven't even been anywhere yet! Not sure we can start the evening like that!" Joe laughed, taking my hand. I mentally face palmed. Why did I have to say that?
"Didn't mean it like that Joe! Just admiring you, that's all. I'm so fucking lucky." Joe blushed as I said this.
"As am I. Is that fresh dye? Looks stunning on you. Anyway, let's go eat! I'm starving!" And I was whisked away down in the lift and into my car.

We arrived at the restaurant and sat down in a little booth in the corner, our personal favourite spot. It was out of the way and quiet so it was perfect for us.
"It's always so gorgeous in here, I love it." Joe said, looking around the room.
"Not as gorgeous as you though babe." We locked eyes and just stared at each other, taking in the sights. Then there was a cough, the waitress was here.
"Sorry to interrupt but can I get you any drinks?" She spoke shyly and afraid of us but Joe smiled at her and she grew more comfortable.
"Can we have a bottle of red wine please?" I asked, the girl nodded and skipped off. We'd obviously just made her a lot more confident in just one smile.

The night went on, a lot of compliments were shared and drinks were poured. It had been amazing, until the thought of this being the last time I'd see Joe in 3 weeks struck me.
"Are you ok Jack? You've suddenly gone quiet, was it something I said?" Joe looked worried and held my hand across the table.
"Yeah I'm fine, it's just the thought of this being our last time together before you go away."
"Oh babe! It'll be ok, we can call and FaceTime every night if you want. I can text whenever and I'll always be in your heart. Don't forget that I love you Jack, I'll be there for you and if you need me then I can jump on the next flight and be on your sofa holding you tight." Joe squeezed my hand, reassuring me that everything will be alright. I looked up at him and smiled.
"I love you so much Joe."
"Love you too."

Suddenly a buzz came from my phone.
Conor - enjoying your meeting Jack?
It was my brother, he had sent a picture of me and Joe looking into each other's eyes. I gotta admit, it was a cute picture but still. How did he get it? I showed it to Joe and his mouth opened.
"How? How does he know? Did he take it himself?" I shrugged and decided to call Conor.
I hit ring and waited, only to hear Conor's ringtone playing from a table near us. Me and Joe panicked. He was here.

A blonde haired boy stood up from the table and walked towards us.
"Hello boys, having a good meeting?" The boy smirked.
"Conor... you shouldn't be here, how did you know where we were?" I asked with an angry look upon my flustered face.
"Well, you shouldn't post pics of you in Joe's lift on your story. I'd been suspicious of you two and now I had evidence to follow, so I drove behind your car and sat down at a close enough table. Now I've caught you out, tell me what's going on." I gulped, why did I put that on my story?

To my surprise, Joe started speaking.
"Me and Jack are dating, have been for 6 months. It was right of you to be suspicious and I'm sorry that we've had to lie to you but we couldn't tell you about us just yet. Hate me for taking your brother away but he's happy, we're happy and I love him with all my heart."
What Joe said left me speechless, Conor too. We just had the same expression stuck on our faces.

I stood up and sat down next to Joe.
"I love you too Sugg." And pressed my lips against his, loving every second of it.
I'm glad that I feel for him and you know what, I'm proud of what we have. Joeck forever.
