Chapter 12

"Hey, Joe sorry about that...my mom was on the other line", I said as my nerves started to calm down. "Oh it's okay. So how've you been?" Joe asked.

"Pretty good. It's been kind boring without you here."

"I know. I miss you so much babe. Things have been so busy with me and my brothers, that we haven't gotten a chance to have some time to ourselves. But, I've never stopped thinking about you, so that always makes me feel so much better."

"Aw Joe, I miss you too." I said as I smiled. "So, do you have any other things to do this week?" I asked.

"Well, today was pretty much our last day we had to do anything, so we're gonna be heading back tomorrow. And, as my first day of free time, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies or something on Friday."

"Definitely! I so need to get out of the house" I said as I laughed. "Is it just gonna be the two of us?"

"Well, I was talking to Nick, and he said that him and Emily would want to come with us. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, completely. So, I'll see you on Friday, then.""Yep! Can't wait to see you again."

"Me too Joe. Bye."

When I hung up the phone, I was happy and relieved. You know, I guess I was wrong about Joe. He probably does have true feelings for me. And I was totally relieved that it would be the four of us. If Kevin was there, I'd probably be going crazy the whole time =P. I mean, Kevin has become one of my closest friends, and he's always been there for me. But after tonight, I'm starting to feel a little differently towards him. I just hope those feelings don't last long.

The days went by quickly, and then it was Friday before you know it. The doorbell rang, and Joe came ion with that amazing smile of his. "Hello beautiful, how's it going?" He asked as he gave me a hug. I laughed and said, "If you're trying to impress me by using your lyrics as pickup lines, it's not working on me."

"Oh really?" Joe asked with a smirk on his face. "Then maybe this would work..." He leaned toward me and kissed me lightly on the lips. I pulled away and smiled. "Man I missed you", I said as I wrapped my arms around him. Joe laughed and said "Same here, Cass. But let's start heading to the movies. The other three are gonna meet us there."

Woooah. Wait a minute. Did he say three?? I had a curious look on my face, and asked, "Three? I thought just Emily and Nick were going with us." "Yeah, I know. But Kevin came into the room right after you hung up the phone, and then he asked if he could come along. I didn't want to make him feel like a fifth wheel or anything, so I said yeah. Is that okay?"My heart started pounding, but I tried my best not to let it show as I said, "Yeah, it's completely fine. I was just a little surprised. But I'm okay with it." "Okay, good." Joe said. "Come on, let's not keep everyone waiting."

As we got into the car and made our way to the movie theater, my heart kept pounding and I really started getting nervous. What's gonna happen when I see Kevin? Is he going to try anything when we're there? But there's one important question. How am I supposed to have a good time with Joe, while Kevin is right next to me the whole time? I better think, and fast, 'cause I don't want any drama to start.

When I read this after I wrote it, I thought the phone conversation was just so cute. And if you haven't noticed by now, I'm absolutely in love with Joe. Lol. Reviews would be nice =)
