Chapter 5: It's him

There's a mountain between us
But there's one thing I'm sure of
that I now how I feel about you now

Miranda Cosgrove- About you now

Ann's POV.

Who did I just bump into? I looked up and saw… was I dreaming this? It couldn't be could it? I didn't trust my eyes until the person spoke.

"Ann is that you?" the voice asked with happiness.

Yes it was the person I was hoping for.

"Joe!" I said giving him a huge. "I thought you where in Rome still?" I asked looking at him I didn't want to let him go.

"I was but a month after you left I came back to New York" Joe answered. " I couldn't stay in Italy knowing you where back in your country".

"I've missed you so much" I said as tears filled my eyes and trickled off my eyelashes and down my face. I didn't know if I would ever get to see him again.

He pulled me to his chest and told me that everything was going to be just fine, and that he would never leave me.

"Ann don't you worry about anything. I'm right here to pretecte you in anyway"

I looked up into his eyes, I believed him whole heatedly. Before I knew it his lips brushed mine. I didn't want the moment to end. While we where in the moment I heard someone calling my name. No it couldn't be it was my parents. I had finally found him and now I had to leave him. I broke the kiss with a gasp.

"What is it?" Joe asked looking at me.

"It's my parents. Hear the sirens there looking for me" I answered looking around. "I have to leave" turning around and leaving.

"Wait where are you staying?" Joe asked taking my hand.

"At the Stafford Estate. But come when my parents are asleep which would be around midnight" I said as I turned to run. But it was to late my parents had found me.

"Ann Elizabeth don't you ever leave are sight again. Is that clear" my father said with anger.

"I'm sorry I-"I began but didn't finish.

"I said is that clear Ann?"my father said with anger again.

"Yes father I understand" I said looking at the ground. I felt like a child being watched by my parents I was old enough to take care of myself.

"Who is this?" my mother asked looking at Joe.

"This is Joe Bradley the man I told you about" I said introducing Joe.

"So you're the young man who are daughter has fallen in love with" my parents asked looking at Joe waiting for an answer.

"Yes your majesties" Joe said looking at my parents with full honesty.

I just watched as Joe told my parents the truth. What would happen now? Would things ever be the same between us? Probably not.

"Come Ann where late for lunch" my mother said going back to the taxi followed by father.

I stayed behind to say by to Joe. "I'm so sorry I thought they wouldn't notice I was gone" I said looking up at Joe.

"Its okay I'll see you tonight" Joe said with a smile.

"See you tonight then" I said returning the smile. I was about to give him a kiss good-bye, but my parents yelled at me.

"Ann get over here now!"

I looked at Joe with sad eyes then turned and left.

Joe's POV.

I had finally found my princess. It took a year but I finally did. As the taxi sped off Irving walked up.

"You okay Joe?" Irving asked. 'Who was that in the taxi?"

"That was Ann" I answered with a smile.

"Really wow she's changed a little" Irving answered with wide eyes.

"I don't think so. She grew her hair back out but that's about it" I answered. "There is one set back though. Her parents don't approve of me. A princess and commoner"

"Like Cinderella" Irving said with a smile.

I just looked at him.

"So what are you going to do about her parents then?" Irving asked.

"Ann told me to come over while her parents where asleep, which would be midnight" I said walking down 5th Avenue.

A/N: Aw they finally met. What do you think will happen next? Will Joe and Ann get to be together or will fate tare them apart? You'll have to wait a little while to find out. In the mean while here's a small sneak peak of the next chapter. Also Review thanks:)

Sneak Peak:

I was reading Wuthering Heights when all of a sudden I fell asleep. While I slept I heard something. I opened my eyes to hear something hitting my window. Then I heard my name

"Ann are you there?" it was Joe.

I went over to the window to see Joe throwing little pebbles at my window.

"You made it" I said with happiness.

"Of course I did. What did you think I had forgotten?" he asked with a smile.

"It did cross my mind. But then again I fell asleep reading" I answered with a laugh.

"I'm coming up" Joe said coming up the vine.
