your pov

It's a brand new day, starting off the morning with a nice new headache. You turn in your bed to drink some water. It felt nice going down. Last night was a lot, too much. You open up your laptop to scroll through a bit of twitter since your phone got broken. You decided to tweet something:

love a nice fresh headache in the morning! City isn't too nice, very few miracles

Joe, he instantly came to your mind. Your heart fluttered a bit, the position you two were in when he lifted you up. It was on a little repeat in your head. His eyes, body, lips, it turned you on honestly. But you doubt he felt anything in that, you wanted that warmth from the taxi ride again though.

Thinking about him inspired you to get up out of bed. Maybe you'll visit his bookstore to see him. Last night he saved your life. Maybe you'll get him something to thank him.

This morning you felt pretty nauseous, you still have no idea what was in that drink. You're sick to your stomach and remember to drink your fluids. You get ready for the day. Eating and cleaning yourself up to look presentable. You'll make Joe a little card visiting him today. He'd appreciate it I bet.

You grab your little backpack and decide to head off. You might visit some other places too today. You kinda wanna... "hoe" around a bit before getting in a relationship here y'know? Just flirting with people going on a few dates but nothing serious.

You get to the bookstore and it has the same vibe in it as the first time, but it's even better because you see Joe first. The smell of pages hits your nose you walk up to him with a bright smile on your face.

"What can I get for ya today y/n?" Joe asked leaning over the counter a little.

"I'm just stopping by for a little visit." You get a little shy replying.

"How sweet, are you feeling better today?"

"A bit nauseous still but for sure a 8/10. I really wanted to thank you again. I can't believe that happened." You still felt embarrassed with the situation.

"No need to thank me, people in bigger cities can be fucked up and you got a dose of that last night."

"Well, I still got you something. It's a card nothing much, but I still think that you deserve it." You can feel your face getting a little red.

It feels like a middle school crush or something. He takes it from your hand, touching yours a bit doing so. He looks back up to you.

"Thank you y/n." He smiles so happily to you.

"It's no problem..."

Just take the chance don't be a pussy.

You lean in and give him a peck on the cheek. He looked surprised, but you could tell he liked it.

"I'll see you around partner." You do a dorky salute as you walk out the door.

You felt the stare tingle your back as you walk out. That went really good you think. Next stop, coffee.

Joe's pov

I see you walk in today. I expected you too. You look as beautiful as ever. You're wearing short ripped jeans with a tucked in warm color striped shirt. It's adorable.

I stayed up all night going through your phone, it's not super creepy. It's just the curiosity really got to me. You have Tinder and some other dating apps which I think is really dumb. Else people admire you on social media, complete strangers like you. You have a high following for being pretty. I'm not surprised of course, but I want you to myself.

You had a lot of cute selfies. And some... n- but I didn't look at those. I promise. I'd rather see your body the first time in person.

I could see the blush creep up on your face as soon as you started talking to me. You can feel this connection you have to. I feel like my entire body gets weak every time we talk.

You kiss me on the check when you head out the door. That kiss struck me, your lips were a little chapped but still soft. I didn't want you to leave, watching you go out that door kind of hurt. I touched wear you kissed. Damn... my face is burning.

I opened your card. It had a nice design on the front, it was a thank you card. I open it up to see your hand writing. Wrote in blue pen, you have really nice hand writing. I start to read

Joe,

I promise you I'm not that much of a mess all the time. I feel embarrassed with how I was last night. I'm really thankful I met you and I'm so happy I have a new friend here in town. I feel trusted to go to you even if we just met. Thank you so much for last night, you saved my life.

Love, y/n

It was really sweet. That word... "Friend". Really? Friend? I'm glad you can trust me of course. But that word is really going to need to change. I saw that tweet you sent this morning, you called me a miracle. I reread it a few times just to imagine you thinking about me writing it.

You're probably going to get a new phone today. I bet it's weird not to have one when your life revolves around it for so long. That's not suppose to be mean, but it's a life style people get really comfortable with.

I might take off of work early again. Just will have someone take my shift. I want to see you again. You're a drug that I'm too far in to get out.

I love you, I'll hear it back soon.
