𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 (joel miller) ✔️

chapter ten: sleepless

I know I should really just focus on one story and not 5 at a time. But I posted my new javi fic (a few days late, I know sorry) but I'm really excited for this one:

𝙏𝙀𝙉 𝘿𝘼𝙔𝙎: in which
javier and maeve make a bet.
and whoever begs for sex first, loses.

And am I going crazy, or is it a good idea that I wanna start a ghost/simon riley fic? 😭

now enjoy this (shorter filler) chapter :)

As Joel entered Zions, he saw Anabella standing behind the bar counter. She had put on a fake smile, but Joel immediately noticed that she was in a bad mood.

Ana was tired and just wanted to leave, but she was still talking to a customer who was sitting at the counter.

Joel was about to go to the bar to talk to Ana when someone else started talking to him, "Hey Handsome, you need some help?"

In front of him stood a young attractive blonde woman who wore an outfit similar to Ana's, and grinned widely at him.

But before he could answer anything, Ana approached and interrupted them, "Steph leave him alone"

"Well, he's all your's" she replied with a wink and went to another table.

"Sorry, I know you don't like the bar, I thought then you don't want someone to flirt with you either" Ana told him.

Even if that wasn't the real reason. She wasn't that close with Joel, but still she didn't want any of the other girls to flirt with him. Even though she likes Steph and gets along with her, Joel came here because of Ana, so if someone would flirt with him, it should be Ana herself.

But Joel just changed the subject, "Why weren't outside yet? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I just have to wait till that man at the bar finally pays, then I can leave"

Joel sighed, "Okay, I'll wait in the car, okay?"

"Yes thank you"

A few minutes later, Ana got into Joel's truck with a sigh.

"I'm really sorry Joel. That guy was fucking annoying, he didn't leave me alone" she said while he started the car.

"What did he do?"

"Oh you know, wanted to buy me drinks and insisted I go out with him" she murmured and Joel noticed how her left hand touched her cleavage.

He looked over at her in confusion and then saw that she was pulling a small wallet with dollar bills out of her bra. Of course she collects her tips there. And he couldn't help but stare a few more seconds. Did she do that on purpose?

When she caught him staring, she started to grin, "What? Eyes on the street" and he immediately turned his gaze back to the street in front of him.

Ana got some bills out of the wallet, "How much do I owe you?"

"What?" he asked confused, and tried his best not to think about her breasts right now.

"I told you I'd give you some money for the gas"

"Oh come on Anabella, it's okay"

"You don't want it because because it was in my bra?" she asked back grinning.

"Ye- No. Sorry, but no, I won't take any money from you, don't be ridiculous" he replied and cursed himself for the slip of the tongue.

He really has to be careful how he talks and behaves in front of her. But she wasn't making it easy for him with all that teasing. Though he didn't know if she was doing it on purpose or not.

Ana just rolled her eyes and held out bills to him.

"I told you I'm not taking it"

"But I don't wanna feel bad because I can live with you for free"

"Anabella just leave it okay? We made a deal on your first day here. Just help around the house and you don't have to pay rent, so you can quickly save enough money for your own apartment"

"Whatever" she mumbled and put the money on his lap.

Joel did his best to ignore that and continued to stare at the road. But now he was sure, she was doing all that teasing on purpose.

When Joel got up for work at 5, he felt like shit. He wasn't used to staying up so long and getting so little sleep anymore.

Since he only slept in boxer briefs, he put on a shirt and then went to the kitchen to make himself some coffee. But he hadn't expected Anabella to sit in the kitchen and eat instant noodles. At 5am.

Her hair was in a bun and she had headphones in, but took one out when she saw Joel, „Uh, good morning"

„You're still awake?" he asked back while he went to the coffee machine.

Ana couldn't help but look at his boxers for a second. And when he turned around, she quickly looked back at the bowl in front of her. Nevertheless, she had briefly seen something - a bulge. Wait, was that a fucking boner?

He had just woken up, so it probably would make sense. But shit, she wasn't expecting that at all.

„Yeah" she murmured and tried her best to keep her eyes on the noodles.

„You're always having noodles for breakfast?" he asked with a grin.

„Nah, you know I just got off work a few hours ago. That's the time I usually eat dinner" she said and took a quick look over at him again.

Fuck, didn't he notice or was he doing this on purpose?
