It's All About You ⌘ Joe Sugg ✓

Chapter 26

The food at this restaurant reflects it's 5 star rating - it's the kind of food that you could eat all the time, just pure melt in your mouth delicious.

Joe and I talk like old friends throughout the whole dinner, telling funny stories from our childhood - Joe seems very interested by everything I have to say. We stopped playing footsies, however my foot is still resting against his, and I can't stop smiling goofily at him as he talks and laughs, his hand running through his hair occasionally.

When dinner finally ends Joe refuses to let me touch the bill - no matter how much I whine and protest. He is such a sweetheart.

As we walk out of the beautiful dining area I once again grasp my hand in his - it feels like such a natural thing for me to do.

Joe smiles down at me as we dive back into the chilly night air. He rang up another taxi while we were in the restaurant and it hasn't yet arrived.

I shiver and lean further into Joe, trying to draw warmth out of his smoking hot body.

"Are you cold? Have this..." He says as he shrugs out of his suit jacket and drapes it round my shoulders. I try to protest but it only comes out a strangled noise as I am suddenly overcome by his smell and warmth all around me.

There he is standing in the cold breeze, hair rustling and shirt tight against his beautiful biceps. How did I ever get so lucky? He is smiling at me, the whites of his perfect teeth showing in the streetlights.

I can't help it, I need to keep him warm. I fling myself into his arms, catching him off guard. He takes a few steps back but recovers quickly, locking me in a tight embrace. I grin at him, looking into his widened eyes. He grips me even tighter, chuckling as he lifts me up from the ground.

It's such a relief when I press my cold lips to his - I feel every warm curve of his lips, and the breeze keeps rustling our hair as we kiss deeply. I quickly become warm as my lips move with his - we're in perfect synch, and Joe removes one of his hands from my waist to cup my face and run his hand through my wavy strands. I'm shivering, however it's not from the cold.

Everything about the moment is beautiful - the starry night sky, our passionate embrace and a slight whispering of music in the distance, from some building somewhere in the city.

The spell is broken when the taxi driver honks his horn - we both pull away abruptly, laughing as we wave at the driver.

"Sorry!" Joe says as we climb into the car, his voice breathless.

"Don't worry young lad - I used to be in love ya know..." The driver says as he starts the car. I gulp and glance at Joe - he's looking directly at me, a smile playing on his lips. I roll my eyes and scoot closer to him again.

We arrive at the cinema and the whole car ride Joe and I were whispering jokes to each other, laughing like lunatics as quietly as we could so as not to disturb the driver.

The cinema is all lit up in the darkness, and the main display is of course Hazel and Gus, their beautiful faces lit up in a glowing sign. I almost pull Joe along in excitement - I can't wait to see this film.

"Steady on!" Joe says as I tug him along, bursts of excited giggles occasionally escaping my mouth.

Joe rolls his eyes but keeps a steady grin on his face. He presents our preordered tickets to the usher and we're shown to our seats.

Surprisingly the cinema isn't all that busy - Joe and I have an entire row to ourself.

We take our seats and pretty much immediately afterward the movie begins. I take a deep breath and once again enclose my hand in Joe's. I'm going to need all the comfort I can get in the next two hours.

Joe's POV [TFIOS SPOILER COMING UP]

I know it's bad of me, but throughout the entire film I continuously steal glances at her. I see her go through the stages of the story - humor, affection, wonder, apprehension and finally grief.

When Gus passes away the tears that were threatening to spill overflow from her eyes, streaming down her cheeks in a gleaming torrent. Seeing her sob like this makes me feel sick to my stomach - I almost cry just from watching her rather than the actual movie, which from what I've seen is amazing.

I reach over and pull her into me. She even sits on my lap in the cinema chair, her tears soaking my suit jacket as I run my hands through her silky strands.

"Sssshhh..." I whisper in her ear as she sobs. She must be pretty attached to these characters and I can understand why - John Green is an excellent writer and this movie does him so much justice.

Eventually she looks up and breathes a deep breath. If I strain my ears I can hear other people in the theatre crying their eyes out. I smile soflty at her and she returns it. I let her climb off me and return to her seat, and the credits roll playing that song by Ed Sheeran.

When we're outside the theatre and back into the hallway, I stop and pull Eila into another tight hug. She's still sniffling slightly.

"God, sorry about this. I didn't realize the movie would affect me so much..." She says, hanging her head.

I tuck my finger under her chin and lift her eyes up to mine. "Hey, it's fine. That's what my suit is for." I grin and she laughs, whacking me on the shoulder.

"Joe..." She looks at me with wide, dilated eyes and before she can say anything more I lean down and kiss her gently, tenderly. I don't want to be too forceful when she's in this fragile state.

I get so lost in the moment, her lips moving with mine in the soft hallway light. I get so lost that I almost don't respond to the squeaky voices screaming 'OMG!' from down the hallway.
