Can't Have You (#wattys2019)

Part 17

"Okay that was exhausting and I can't believe how cheep everything was." Patty threw her tired body on her new yellow sofa, closing her eyes and inhaling the scent. "Did you make lounch yet?"

Joe chrossed his arms on his chest and look at her with a smirk. "I didn't know you want me to."

"As long as you are here you can be usefull." She shook her shoulder, turning the TV on. "I want chocolate cake and something sour... Yes." She clapped.

"Like chocolate cake with cucombers?" Joe laughed. He loved that she was so relaxed today but he feared she was falling for that doctor Brad.

Patty started massaging her scalp. "That actually sounds amazing and I'm not embarased to tell you I would eat it." She laughed to herself because this small little human being inside of her is already making her act silly. God knows what else might change.

"Is everything okay?" Joe sat down next to her. He was worried because he knew she hides the pain behind a  smile and it was not funny anymore. "I know I hurt you and I..."

"Whoa, let's not bring that up... Like ever again." She stepped away from him. "I get that you are here because some stupid reason and I also know that I can't drag you out because I'm not strong enough but you also need to know that we are not friends!!" She got upset all of the sudden. "So don't act like nothing happened."

"Are we not?" Joe got up walking dangerously close to her. "Because you act like we are."

Patty raized her hand and slapped him across his face. "My bad. I'll try and be a bigger bitch." She picked up her phone and started walking towards her bedroom. "Meanwhile you try to get the fuck out of my apartment."

Joe put his hands on fis face and growled in frustration. "Stubrn little ass." He whispered. He picked up his phone and dialed the store manager again. "Hey Deks it's Joe. Thank you for earlier. I left you the check on your table just make sure that no one finds out I payed for the rest of the furniture."

Joe made the fastest dinner and baked her favorite chocolate cake to aplogize. He went to her room but stopped at the door when he heard her crying softly. He knocked on the door and announced himself in. "I'm sorry Pat." He sat down next to her. "I was a dick to you, again." He put his hand on her tummy, unknowingly making her cry even harder.

"Why are you still here?" She asked her voice barely audible. "Don't you have things to do, places to be?"

"Actually I have no where to go." He admitted. "I was left without everything after I cut off the engagement."

"What?" She furrowed her eyebrows and leaned on her elbows. "What do you mean?"

Joe grabbed her hand. "When me and Julija got engaged her father made me sign an agreement to make sure she wouldn't be left with nothing." He exhaled because this was something hard for him to say out loud. "I lost everything when you walk away already so what is a few lands and a couple of credit cards right?" He forced a smile.

"Oh my god Joe." She hugged him. "I'm so sorry I would never ask you to do that."

"It's the vineyard I'll miss the most everything else can be replaced." He put his warm hand on her cheek, leaving it there.

"Are you telling me that bitch took everything from you?" Patty frowed. She hated her so much she couldn't even say her name out loud.

Joe giggled. "Not everything, I could keep one thing so I chose Nanna's house in Italy." He got up from bed and gave her his hand. "Let's eat shall we friend?"

"Yes I'm starving." She grabbed his large hand and her small one fit in perfectly. "And we are definetly not friends. Let's start with not enemies?"
