Chapter Four
Rachel POV
As I was putting on my make-up in the bathroom Joe was sitting in the office saying "c'mon Rach the girls can't wait forever." I walked out the door laughing.
`"Ha ha you're so funny." I said sarcastically helping him up off the couch.
I saw a smirk grow on his face as he said "I know." He leaned down and kissed me and I kissed him back, it was after we kissed that I saw a frown instead of a smirk.
"Whats wrong?"
"Rachel I'm not going to go eat lunch or walk in with the rest of you"
"Why?" I asked concerned.
I saw him lay a hand on the wall and look at it. "I just don't feel like I'm apart of this school anymore." He looked back at me "I spent a smester running away from everybody I care about, being accused of something I don't want to be apart of." Joe cupped his hand on my cheek "I couldn't even see you or Cammie without her getting kidnapped and you getting..."
His voice trailed off not finishing that sentence. I looked down and whispered "detained."
"I'm sorry that happened, I didn't want..." he stopped midsentence again. And started a new one with his face going stern. "You shouldn't had hid me when the CIA took you."
"You wouldn't have seen me being arressted if you didn't go into the disguise room and come outside." I smirked a little, than stopped when I saw he didn't change his expression. "I had to, it was the only way for you to see Cammie. I needed you to see Cammie and see if she was all right."
"But why would you? After everything I told you that day, I mean its my fault Cammie is fatherless."
I looked at him in the eyes and said "because you're my best friend and I love you." I smacked him on the arm and said "and stop blaming yourself about Matt, if he was here he would've punched you for acting like this." I saw a smile on his face "and you are going to eat with us." I hugged and he hugged me back with one arm.
"I wish it didn't matter that we're together, if the Circle knew you be in more danger than you're already in"
"I know"
He changed the subject when he managed to get his other arm around me "I can't wait till I'm better that I can just carry you." He said and hugged me tighter "and punch Townsend for arressting you."
I laughed into his shoulder and stepped back. "Hey its 'cause of Townsend you aren't in a jail cell."
"No." He said correcting me "its 'cause of Zach and Cammie for finding my journal that I'm not in a jail cell."
We bothed laughed "hey wait don't I get credit I'm the one that gave them permission to go and it was me who kept Dr. Steve from noticing them."
"Yes I give you credit." He smiled and than looked confused "wait how did you keep Dr. Steve busy?" he asked.
I looked at him like he had three heads, I rolled my eyes and said "I'm a very persuading woman."
"Yes, you are. I'm just wonder how persuading."
I looked at him for awhile before realising what he meant. "Oh Joe no I never would ew Dr. Steve how could you think that?"
He started laughing "just a question."
We were about to kiss again when Partricia Buckingham walked in and said "how are the love birds doing?"
I stepped back embarrassed, Joe was only laughing. "Partricia, hi" I said, okay for those that don't know the whole faculty knows I had them swear not to say a word outside of the schools walls. "Rachel the dinner will start in five minutes."
"Right dinner." I said getting back to reality.
She turned to Joe "and we have a seat just for you Joseph."
Joe smiled, I took his hand and squeezed it. Particia left and Joe was heading out, I stood infront of the door holding it for him. He turned to me and said "I'm going to go use the elevaters, I'll meet you at the dinner."
"Joe I better see your butt in the chair next to me by the time I'm done with my lecture."
"You will don't worry."
"It is wonderful to see you all here again" I said as I stood on the podium. I looked through the crowd and saw Cammie, it was wonderful to see her again. "Now I know last years events were diffrent, but that is something Gallagher Girls will learn, to deal with things that we don't like..." Than I said a few things and noticed Joe wasn't there, I was about to wrap up when the doors of the Grand Hall opened by a nurse and Joe walked in. He went on the far side and came up next to the faculty table and sat in his seat. Just like two years ago he said "sorry I'm late" and winked at me.
I finished up saying "and as I was saying lets have a good year and to start off lets eat this fine meal." Man I sounded like a dork on that last part, I walked up to the table and asked "what took you so long?"
He shrugged and picked up his fork "I said I would be here before you finished." He smiled that playful smile I've known for years. I rolled my eyes, Joe could be so immature sometimes.
The only one who laughed was Smith, I looked at him and gave him the do you want to keep your job stare. He choked on his food and shook his head "totally immature Solomon."
This only made Joe laugh even more. I rolled my eyes again, I looked for Cammie and saw her eating with her friends. I still felt bad for rushing her out the office I turned to Joe "we need to tell her tonight."
He took hold of my hand "as much as I want to agree with you, I think we should wait."
"Why?"
"Look Cammie is having a good time with her friends, she had been gone for two months. I'm sure she has a lot on her mind, the last thing she needs to think of right now is us."
I looked away, I wasn't going for it, and he could see that. I felt him squeeze my hand "we'll tell her Saturday" I said.
"How about over a nice dinner, for the three of us."
The three of us, it sounded nice.
"One in the screat room."
"Sounds lovly to me" said Smith sarcastically.
We bothed blushed remembering everyone at the table were really good trained spies. Hearing our converstation, Joe turned to him "thank you Smith, and nice new face by the way."
"Oh thank you."
I turned to Dabeny "should I be worried?" I asked her.
Dabeny laughed "no they're just having one of those bromance moments."
I turned to Joe "you are so immature."
"Thank you Rachel."
I rolled my eyes and went back to my dinner.
AN: I hope this chapter made since, I'm not sure if Joe is still wanted or not. But this is a fanfic so who cares, in this story the CIA is on they're toes for Joe. So anyways please review my story, it'll mean a lot to me, and if I get twenty reviews I'll try and update tonight.
