Miss You More

Chapter 9

Joe returned with groceries and was helping Anabella put them away, with the exception of what she was going to be cooking. She had decided on fish, rice, and vegetables. The fish was thawing. She washed the rice and let it soak, she washed the vegetables, chopped them and let them soak. She looked up to see Joe looking severely stressed out. She wiped her hands on a towel and came over to him, slipping her arms around his neck. 

" What's wrong Babe?" she asked him. 

" Hmmm. I was just thinking," he said. 

" About your Dad?" she asked him. 

" Yeah. I talked to Kate and Tommy while I was at the store. They will both come stay with Dad till I can figure out what to do." 

"Why do you look so stressed out than?" she asked him softly. He slipped his arms around her waist, resting them on her ass. 

" Because I have to re-think things. I think moving to Boston is best, be closer to Dad," he said.

 " Of course it is! Is there any question?" she asked him.

 " No. But what about us?" he asked quietly.

 " I don't know. What about us? I mean I wouldn't stop loving you if you lived in Boston," she said softly.

"You'd just, be okay if I moved here?" he asked.

"Of course baby!!! this is your dad, he's very sick, you have to do whatever you can to help out!!! we handle months of you on tour, you moving here wont be any different!" she said kissing him softly.

"Are you fucking kidding Ana? Me moving here, means no sex for months and months! Only phone sex. Going on tour is like 4 months, 5 months max a year. Moving to Boston means I'm starting. a whole new life!" he said upset. 

" Joe, you need to calm down. Do you want your Dad to wake up hearing you screaming about your sex life?" Ana asked him gently. 

"We won't make it if I move," he said quietly. 

" Alright but you can't not move, so what's your solution?" she asked him. 

" I don't know," he said quietly," I honestly don't."

"What if I move too? find a place here and a new job?" she asked.

"Why? I mean I haven't even put a ring on your finger," he pointed out. 

" Because I love your Dad too and you need the help. I love you so much Joe. If my rearranging my life means I get to be with you than I would do it in a heartbeat," She said softly to him. 

He sighed softly dropping his forehead against hers," Baby Doll, you can't be for real. Any other girl would have dumped my ass for not even asking her to move to the same city and you are willing to uproot your life for me and Dad. I'm beginning to wonder if I even deserve you," he said quietly.

"I think you do, that's why I am willing to do this for you, all you have to do is say yes, if not, I will stay in California and come visit every chance I get..... just say the word joey...." she said, softly, pecking his lips.

He slid a hand up dragging it through her curls, kissing her deeply," Yes," he breathed. He kissed her again, the other hand still on her ass. He needed her here close by. He needed her period right now. He pulled her top up to the bottoms of her breasts, she was wearing a bra today so it was major under-boob. His hand slipped all the way underneath her top, wrapping around one of her breasts.
