The City (Joe Sugg/ ThatcherJoe Fanfiction)

Chapter 13

When morning rolls around I wake up with Joe's arms coiled around my waist. He looks so peaceful when asleep. Even with his face smooshed against the pillow he looks practically perfect. His fringe flopped down over his closed eyelids. His lips pursed slightly as he breaths in and out slowly. I can't help but reach over and brush the hair from his eyes.

He catches my wrist, chuckling slightly under his breath as he brings my hand down, pressing kisses to my palm. 

His eyes flutter open and he smiles sheepishly, "Morning," he says, his voice was a little croaky which I'll admit was pretty hot.

"Morning." I respond before remembering why Joe was in my bed. "Joe, I'm sorry about last n-" I begin but he presses his index finger to mouth, cutting me off.

"It's fine." he simply says. He glances at the clock. "I think I'm gonna go grab a shower." he says, "We have to leave in 45 minutes to get you to school on time."

School. I forgot about that.

He slowly gets out of my bed and pads over to the door.

"Get dressed." he instructs before disappearing into the hallway, closing the door behind him.

I groan as I step out of the bed. The morning air is crisp. Coldness bites at my bare shoulders as I grab my school uniform from my closet.

It certainly was not the most attractive school uniform and that's for sure. I pull on my navy blue jersey over top of the light blue blouse. I tug at my school skirt. It tends to ride up during the day which is bothersome. I put on my blazer over top and reach down to lace up my shoes.

I tug my hairbrush through my hair before tying it up in a loose ponytail. It'll do.

I head out into the hallway and towards the bathroom. I could hear the water running so I knock loudly on the door.

"Who's in there?" I call through the door.

"It's me, just a minute." Joe responds and a minute later the water shuts off and the door opens revealing Joe.

He wore only a towel around his waist and his hair was dripping water down his face.

"I could've waited.." I say, admiring his toned physique. 

"Checking me out are you?" he jokes and I blush. "It's okay, I was just getting out anyway." he says, edging past me and heading down the hallway.

"You wish I was checking you out," I retort as he walks away.

Just as he is turning to walk in the lounge he glances at me, "Oh, you were." he says confidently before disappearing.

Most would think he was being egotistical but even I know I was though I wouldn't admit it.

It's like there are two sides to Joe. Sweet, caring Joe. And confident, slightly cocky Joe. I like both equally.

I go into the bathroom and do my business. I then brush my teeth and apply a little bit of mascara before heading towards the kitchen.

I grab an apple and sit at the table with Joe, Zoe and Alfie.

They were busy discussing some YouTube stuff which I have no interest in. I take a bite of the apple and immediately spit it out. Maybe brushing my teeth before I eat is not the best plan.

Joe cracks up and I glare at him.

"I just brushed my teeth, it's not even funny." I grumble. Getting up and dropping it into the bin.

He apologises as I sit back down, not paying any attention to their conversation.

"What do you say Riley?" Zoe asks, looking at me expectantly.

"Huh?" I ask, turning my attention to her.

"Were you listening at all?" she asks jokingly.

I shake my head, "No." I admit and she laughs.

"I was just saying we are having a get together with some of our YouTube gang, are you keen to come along?"

"Will Tyler Oakley be there?" I ask, he is one of the only YouTubers that I watch and it would be amazing to get to meet him.

Zoe grins, "He will! He's visiting from the US at the moment."

I clap my hands excitedly, "Count me in!"

"Yay!! You can be my little piece of arm candy!" she says eagerly.

I laugh, "Isn't that what Alfie is?" 

She waves her hand through the air, "Alfie is old news. You'll win over all the guys with your gorgeous little face and awesome accent!"

I see Joe stiffen slightly in his seat out of the corner of my eye but I choose to ignore it.

"Well, I can't wait." I say, getting up. "I'll just go grab my school bag and we can get going." I say, heading off to my room. I hear the two siblings bickering again as I walk down the hallway. I swear they are always arguing. 

I collect my school bag from my bedroom floor and my cellphone before returning to the others.

Joe was obviously sulking over his and Zoe's disagreement. He spent the entire car ride staring out the window with his arms folded across his chest. 

Zoe paid him no attention, chatting away about how excited she is for Saturday night and who was going to be there.

Most of them I didn't know. My subscribed list consists of Tyler Oakley, Jack and Finn Harries and Troye Sivan. And of course, now I have Joe, Zoe and Alfie on there too.

When we get to school I bid everyone farewell with no response from Joe.

I really hope he is in a better mood by the time I get home.

Bit of a filler.. I love it when Jiley banter :P Joe is so moody though. Excited for a YouTuber party though!! haha.

I don't actually mind that I have barely any reads.. I just enjoy writing this so much :) Might have a bit of drama soon. Things are a bit complacent..
