Chapter 2: Loving her

Joe's POV.

I was sitting at my desk working on a story. That was due this afternoon to my editor. I couldn't really focus on the story. My mind began to wonder back to that warm Italian day I had with Ann. That morning I was supposed to have an interview with the princess. But little did I know that she was asleep on my couch.

After making a deal with my editor about how I could get the story. So I took a holiday taking the princess all over Rome. By the end of the day we had fallen in Ann had to go back to her duties as a princess. A year later I'm back in New York with out my princess. I didn't even hear the person that had entered my office.

"Joe, Joe are you there?" asked the voice.

I turned around in my chair to face Irving. "Sorry Irving I was…just thinking" I said leaning back in my seat.

"You miss her don't you?" Irving asked lighting a cigarette.

"A lot" I answered with a sigh.

"Joe she's a princess" Irving said putting his lighter away.

I just sat threw without a word just thoughts and memories.

"Don't worry Joe you'll find her again" Irving added moments later.

Would I find her again? Would we get to be together?

"You're going to turn in that story?" Irving asked looking down at my story that was all over my desk.

"Yaw its due at noon" I answered looking at Irving.

"You might want to get going its 11:55" Irving said looking at his watch.

My Editors office

"What's this it's not done" my editor John Johnson said throwing down the story.

I was so caught up in memories that I forgot to finish it.

"I'm sorry sir I was busy doing something else" I answered clearing my throat.

"You've been out of it since Princess Ann left Rome" Johnson said with a frown on his face.

"Am I fired?" I asked. I couldn't afforded that right now.

"No you're fired when I'm yelling much more" Johnson said standing up.

I thanked god I wasn't fired then thanked Mr. Johnson a thousand times for not firing me.

"He's losing it" I heard Mr. Johnson say as I shut the door.

As I was going back to my apartment. I kept asking myself over and over again "Would I find her again?" I looked at my watch it was 12:30 the bar should be opened by now. So I can go drown my sorrows out with a beer. I made my way into the bar sat down and got a beer. Moments later a young man came and sat next to me.

"Hey your the guy who interview Princess Ann right?" the man asked as he downed his liquor.

"Yes why?" I asked looking over at him as I lite a cigarette.

"Oh just asking people are asking if it was you. So I decided I would ask" the man answered.

I sat there for a few more minuets finished my drink and cigarette and left. As I was walking past the calcium where I had first met Ann. I thought she was drunk but it turns out she had received something to make her sleep. I arrived home to an empty apartment like normal. If only Ann could have staid with me then things would be different. How I missed her.

A/N:Aw poor Joe. Do you think him and Ann will get to be together? Keep reading it gets better, ha, ha:) Please read and review thanks. Oh and sorry for another shot chapter. The next one will be twice as long. I've just been really busy with other stories so that's why its not so long.
