Someone Like You

You know how the time flies

Only yesterday was the time of our lives

I couldn't think of anything other than that kiss. To say it was magical was an understatement, thought I felt I couldn't express exactly how amazing it really was. His lips so soft on mine before adding that needed pressure than he knew drove me insane. Licking my lips I could still taste him, he had permanently marked me as his, such a gesture making me question my better judgement. Maybe we could make it work? Away from the square, away from everything that had driven us apart in the first place. But I still had this constant fear with Joey, that at any time he would walk out and leave me behind because he had done it so often it was now common to me, but the other half of me was nagging at me to get real, he had left you the first time to protect you the second was so you could recover, he wouldn't need to leave you again, your meant to be. Soon enough I drifted into an exhausted sleep, the following day would be tough on everyone, but I found myself not focussing too much on it as Joey invaded my dreams that night too.

The next day came around sooner than I would of liked as we all solemnly dressed in black and made our way to the church to say goodbye to grandma Dot. Everyone had gathered, mum, Abi, Oscar, dad and my other little brother Robbie with Kristy although I didn't pay much attention to her, to me she was still the evil stepmother I couldn't stand talking to her. As we sat at the front of the church I grasped Abi's hand within my own just to steady myself, I could feel myself welling up as people gathered to say goodbye. I couldn't even turn around to see if Joey and Alice had come in, I didn't want to think about him and our situation today at all, it was about Dot.

"She's here with him" Abi whispered in my ear, my sinking a little, he had brought her to our grandmas funeral.

"I don't care, today is about Gran" I whispered back, although my body had now begun shaking a little bit and for the first time in years I craved a drink to still my nerves.

The service was short and sweet, the Vicar saying everything he had to say perfectly, my dad and Uncle Jack had made a speech about our beloved Dot which did set me crying, something I didn't do often. It wasn't till that point I realised the impact she had made on all our lives, she was constantly there for us and now she was gone a part of us was missing. As the service finished we made our way silently out to the burial, as we stood around her grave, I suddenly felt alone. Looking around I noticed everyone in pairs. Abi was being held by Jay as she wept quietly, my dad was with Kristy, Mum was with her partner Nick, Fatboy and Poppy were together same goes for most of my friends who had each in turn found happiness. Then there was me, standing completely alone, my coat wrapped firmly around my body as if it gave me some sort of comfort. Looking across the grave I noticed Joey watching me, his eyes were sad, I guessed he hated seeing me grieving alone, I knew from that look he wished he could be standing with me, my hand within his but his girlfriend was there with him.

"Its okay" I mouthed to him, although it really wasn't I needed him to hold me too, I smiled weakly as the coffin was brought round, I felt my stomach drop this was the moment we said goodbye.

I could feel his eyes watching me, and I couldn't stop the tears that rolled down my cheeks as I softly wiped them away, grieve taking over my body as my cries matched everyone else's in that moment. I was suddenly met by a warm sensation from behind, a pair of strong arms wrapping around my shoulders, a body pressed into my back, a hand softly rubbing my forearm as I gripped onto it for support. A wave of tears soon struck as I didn't feel so lonely anymore.

"Shh its okay" he whispered into my ear my cries a little louder now "I've got you" he hummed into my ear comforting me as we buried her. I could feel his head pressed into the side of mine my cheeks dampened a little more as I felt his tears too, his chin resting on my shoulder. Shutting my eyes I buried my head into his arms, turning into his body my head now rested on his chest his hand rubbing up and down my back soothingly. I didn't care if anyone was watching; I didn't care about anything at that point, all I knew was that Joey was there for me when I needed him to be. I didn't even have the slightest guilt about his girlfriend who was now stood alone, I needed him she didn't.

"She's not my girlfriend, she nursed Dot for a bit that's why she's here, I ended thing yesterday" he murmured into my ear, I couldn't help but smile against his strong chest, suddenly feeling a whole lot better. For some reason it gave me a little more confidence as I pulled him closer to me as bodies so close there was no space between us. Pulling my head up a little I snuggled into the crook of his neck, placing a small kiss to the showing skin, hearing a light groan leave his lips.

It felt like we had stood there for hours when in reality it was a few minutes as the family start moving away from the grave heading back to The Vic for her wake. "Do you want to go?" he asked, his voice laced with worry as I had cried quiet a lot. I shook my head, I didn't think I could handle seeing everyone at the moment; maybe I would go along a little later. "Come on I'll take you home" kissing the side of my head softly as he shifted me into his side his arms still wrapped around my waist as we headed back.

Arriving back at number 5 a short while later, Joey took my hand in his leading me up the stairs to unlock the door. I was feeling completely drained, emotionally and physically. Leaning my head against his bicep I waited until he had unlocked the door to kick my feet free from my heels I had insisted on wearing for some reason. Letting him lead me into the living room as he pulled me down onto the sofa with him, his arms around my shoulders, my head naturally dropping to his chest exhaustedly.

We enjoyed the silence for a while, just having him with me had calmed me down considerably, the feeling of his hands resting on my waist kept sparking up in my mind it was torturous. I smirked wriggling a little closer to him as his fingers trailed up and down my leg.

"What are you smirking at?" he murmured the day tiring him out just as much as me.

"You doing that with your hand, its driving me mad" I chuckled, pulling myself upright to look at him. He had a dorky smiled wiped across his face as if he knew that doing that would get this reaction from me.

"I'm not having sex with you" I stated folding my arms across my body just to add a bit of emphasis on my words because my faltered a little as I said that.

"Didn't ask you to" he smirked, causing my face to blush deep red.

"You didn't need to, I could see it on your face" I bit back.

"I'm sure I could persuade you" he murmured, his fingers reaching out to my face as his lips came closer to my exposed neck as I had decided to wear my hair up. His lips touching my neck sent me into another hemisphere, the softness of his wet lips grazing up and down my neck hitting my sweet spot occasionally, he knew exactly what he was doing.

He was making it terribly difficult to refuse him, and right now I don't think I could.
