Josh's POV
"Sure babe, why not" he shrugged and suddenly I felt myself panic. I didn't think he'd actually say yes! We parked the car and then I led him upstairs into my apartment. He looked around curiously at the decorations and the little designs on the elevator walls. I guess he was dying to see where I lived for so long and now was his chance to finally take it all in. When we came to my front door, he smirked.
I was confused until I realized what he was smiling at and blushed. He always told me that he loved dreamcatchers and one day I went out and bought a sticker for my front door. I told him that he was an absolute dream and once he came over, the catcher would make sure he never walked out of my life.
"So I see you were serious about catching me" he mused and I felt my face grow hotter.
As I unlocked the door, I squeaked as his hands suddenly wrapped around my waist and he pulled me closer. He smelled of mint and honey and I shuddered at his touch. He'd always have this effect on me.
"Don't worry baby, consider me caught" he whispered in my ear and I nearly fainted.
I gulped and when the door opened, I led him inside while grabbing his hand. We walked into the cute kitchen and switched on the lights. He smiled brightly as he took in his surroundings. I knew what he was thinking. That this was surreal. He was finally in my house, with me, after all this time. And he looked...proud. Like he couldn't believe I had my own apartment and that I was really living life like I told him. He just nodded at me and I felt like, for once, I had the approval of someone who actually cared about me.
It was nice. More than nice. It's all I've ever really wanted in life. That and a hot boyfriend to spend my life with...so I guess I got two for the price of one.
He yawned and I instantly smiled, he was probably worn out since he's not used to being out at night.
"Do you want to shower and start heading to bed?"
"Yeah, I'm beat" he admitted and I nodded. I lead him to the bathroom and gave him extra towels. I didn't have anything that could fit him but he assured me it was fine and that he'd just sleep in his boxers. He closed the bathroom door and I went to go grab a few things from my bedroom. I wasn't sure if he'd be comfortable sleeping in the same bed yet so I decided to take the couch tonight. I took a few sheets off the bed, my favorite pillow and headed for the living room when my phone suddenly rang.
Phone call:
Joshua: hello?
Ivan: Bitch, don't just "hello" me like you didn't ditch us! Where the hell are you?!
Joshua: At home
Ivan: HOME?!
I roll my eyes as I hear the two other idiots in the background. Clearly he has it on speaker so all of them can hear me.
Abby: What do you mean home? What about dream boy?
Taylor: If that hoe just left you then he's an asshole!! Where are you? We'll come get you!
"He just said he's at home dumbass" Ivan yells and the two start to argue for a short time before I sigh and shut them up.
Joshua: I'm at home with my man
Silence.
Joshua: Hello?
Abby, Taylor and Ivan: HE WENT HOME WITH YOU?!
Ivan: Omggggg honey use protection, do NOT bareback that bronco unless he's putting a ring on it!
Joshua: Ivan! Are you insane?! We're not having sex!
