especially the dad jokes

Joe didn't know if he should have called her or arrive at the airport. When he arrived at iris' hotel room, she wasn't there. Deep down, he thought that she had left in the middle of the night because she hated his guts and didn't want to see him anymore. That theory was proven wrong when the lady at the front desk told him that she saw iris in the morning.

Joe paced around the hallway, occasionally getting weird looks from the people walking by trying to get to their room. He shrugged them off and continued his pacing.

"It was open." The sweet sound of iris' voice made his feet stop what they were doing.

"Oh um, I didn't know." He chuckled slightly.

"I went to get breakfast. Airplane food doesn't really get my stomach going." Her hands were holding two bags of food that had the logo of a restaurant's name on it. "And I figured that you didn't eat before you came here."

"You figured right."

They entered the room, iris had cleaned up before her flight. She always did, she felt like an asshole all day if she didn't clean up the hotel room she was staying. She placed the bags of food on the side table and plopped down on the bed.

"Thanks for coming. Didn't think you would want to see my face again." Iris laughed silently.

"Your face is beautiful."

Joe mentally slapped himself as the words left his mouth. He should've definitely worded it differently. It sounded like a toddler was trying to flirt to him. But it did make iris smile.

"I am going to miss your jokes, j." Iris grabbed the container of food and gave one to joe.

"Even the dad jokes?" He raised an eyebrow teasingly.

"Especially the dad jokes. Esme and zack have horrible jokes. Even after I told them so many times, they still keep telling them."

"If it makes you feel better, I'll text you every day joke I know when you have a bad day or just in general."
