An Unexpected Romance - Joe Sugg Fanfiction

Chapter 4

I avert my eyes quickly as Joe turns and stomps downstairs. I stare at a corner on their glass table in shock and jump at the sound of a bedroom door being slammed. Caspar sighs.

"I suppose you better go" he says awkwardly as he rubs the back of his head.

"Yeah" I say quickly, standing up.

Shit I forgot my stuff is downstairs!

"Umm Caspar, my stuff is downstairs" I say in a small voice.

He looks at me for a moment and then finally nods and stands up and walks downstairs.

"Joe. Can I come in? Grace has left her stuff in your room" I hear faintly.

A couple of seconds pass with no sound. I hear a sigh and then footsteps up the stairs.

"Is it okay if I bring your stuff round your house later?" He asks.

I nod. "Yeah. Is it okay if I wear your clothes home" he smirks at me.

"Sure. I'll drop you home if you want" he offers. I smile and shake my head.

"Look after Joe. Make sure to get him a hot chocolate and comfort food" I say as I make my way to the door.

"Yeah I will. Uh, could I get your number so you could text me your address and stuff?" He asks as he joins me at the door. We exchange numbers and I call myself a taxi and go home.

----

I check my phone. 7:38PM. Caspar still hasn't text me to ask for my address yet and it's getting late. Maybe I accidentally gave him the wrong number? Or maybe he's with Joe? My tummy flutters at the thought of him. O-Kay that was weird.

I go to text Caspar when my phone makes a dinging sound, indicating that I've received a text.

1 NEW TEXT MESSAGE: Caspar

I open it.

Caspar: hey, can't make it tonight, Joes still not came out of his room. Sorry! I'll drop your stuff round as soon as he opens the door. X

I'm not too bothered about my dress anymore knowing Joe still hasn't come out. Shit sounds bad. Should I go round there? I've never dealt with a break up simply because I've never had a boyfriend before but what's the harm in trying.

I text Caspar back,

Grace: I'm coming over. X

Was the kiss on the text message too much? I bite my lip. No it'll be fine, we are only friends. I hit send and make my way to my car. Mission: time to cheer Joe up.

----

I pull up outside the same block of apartments I left earlier on and pull the hand brake. This is probably a bad idea but I'm here now and it would have been a waste of petrol if I go home now.

I walk up the steps and knock on the door. Caspar opens the door with a big smile plastered on his face.

"Hey" he says as he moves aside.

"Hey, is Joe still in his room?" I ask as I come in.

"Yeah why" he asks, his smile dropping a little.

"I've come so we can go cheer him up" I say as I take off my coat and put it down. He nods and I go downstairs.

I knock on the door.

"Joe it's Grace can I come in?" I ask in a gentle voice. Silence.

"Joe I need to get my stuff" I ask again. Further silence. I puff in frustration.
