Chasing Pavements

Close To You

Brynn was sitting at their kitchen island looking through a catalogue when Joe walked downstairs from his shower and he pressed a kiss to her head

"Hi baby," he greeted, going over to the fridge

"My love," she replied, turning the page to the next set of flowers and looking up and down at the many colours and arrangements

"What'cha doing?" Joe asked, coming to stand behind her and look over her shoulder

"Deciding what floral arrangement I want for Saturday," she replied

"What's Saturday?" He asked, drinking from his water bottle

She didn't blame him. She hadn't really included him in this aspect of her life and she believed that it was time to change that. She looked down and smiled gently

"So Saturday is my brother's death anniversary and I always go back to Newcastle to visit the grave," she explained and Joe bit his lip

"I don't normally carry the guys that I date there cuz it's a really private moment, Jon's been there, cuz I was ready to marry him," she told Joe and saw how his light dimmed

"But I'm ready to marry you to, so I'd be honoured if you would want to come with me on Saturday," she proposed and he blinked slowly before his light shined once more

"I'd love to," he replied and she smiled

"Then come help me choose some flowers," she told him with a smile and he did, walking over and sitting next to her as he peered into the magazine

It was Thursday night when Jon, Brynn, Joe and Renee were out at a bar and they were having a good time

"Hey Joe, wanna wreck the pool table?" Jon asked with a smirk, Joe could hustle Jon which he didn't know so when Joe nodded, Brynn laughed and turned to Renee

"Want to get something to drink?" She asked and Renee nodded and they both got up

"Let's take a picture actually, you look so pretty tonight," Renee told her and Brynn laughed

"So I look like shit all the other times then?" She asked jokingly and Renee laughed as Brynn took her phone and they took a picture together

They were up against the bar counter when this dude came up and started small talking with them, it was innocent until he began to flirt with Brynn

"So I saw you walk in with the dark Fabio earlier, he seems like he'd be boring in bed," he told her and she laughed

"Nah, he's a fucking animal in bed," she replied goodnaturedly

"Hm, what about you blondie, you with that scruffy looking one?" He asked and she nodded

"Well sweetie, how about I show you a good time? Let's head back to my house," he said and shockingly grabbed her hand. Brynn sprung into action

"Hey don't fucking touch her man!" Brynn said, pulling Renee behind her

"Why don't you stay out of it and leave me and the little miss here while you have fun with your Fabio looking fucker of a boyfriend," he told her and Brynn smiled before she slapped him and he pushed her down making Renee gasp

"Oh you fucking-" she growled as she scrambled and albeit speared him down, reigning hits on his face causing a ruckus from the other patrons

"Break it up!" The bouncer said, pulling them apart and carrying them outside

"She put her hands on me that fucking crazy bitch!" He yelled

"Next time don't fucking touch a girl without consent you fucking pervert, you lucky I don't break your fucking knee you asshole!" Brynn yelled back
