The one where you fall for your bestfriend (Joey Tribbiani Fanfic) F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Stay with me

Today was Chandler’s birthday, and Monica decided to take him out for the night, and leave me here to look after the apartment. I grabbed some movies, put my hair up in a messy pony tail, and grabbed some blankets and pillow for a camp out in the lounge room. Just as I was putting the movie on, Joey knocked at the door. “Hello” I answered “Hey” he smiled “Chandlers not home, Mon took him out for a night at the hotel...” “Oh... the ‘hotel’” he laughed “So what your here by yourself?” he asked “Yeah... I’m just going to have a movie night with chocolate and pizza” “Surely you can’t eat all of that pizza by yourself...” he hinted. I couldn’t resist those beautiful eyes, “Okay”. In a second he was lying next to me on the couch; his weight caused the couch to drop on his side and my body slid lightly towards him. I wanted so badly to cuddle him. Dammit.

The first few movies were over, and we didn’t have any more food to stuff our faces with. I really didn’t want Joey to leave, I was finally spending some time with him without everyone. Joey brought out a huge blanket, and went under it with me, so I was practically on top of him. He put his arm around me, his hand on my back, slowly moving up and down, creating a calming sensation. I felt safe and secure in Joeys arms. I rested my head on his chest. He smelt so dam good, like a clean man and cologne. The movie ended, leaving the room quiet and dark. “Katie” he whispered “Yeah?” I asked “Stay with me” He spoke softly, running his fingertips over my arm “I want to” I whispered lifting my head up to his. “Then stay” he whispered. Butterflies started racing in my tummy when he said that. I knew we shouldn’t be cuddling when he has a girlfriend, but I couldn’t help myself. His scent, his voice, his touch, just everything I wanted I had. I started to feel my body relax, and felt my heavy eyelids close, then within a few seconds, fell asleep in his arms.

I woke up still on Joey’s chest and his fingertips running slowly up and down my arm. “Morning…” he whispered “Morning…” I smiled. “Wait… did I fall asleep on you?” I asked “Yeah... you drooled on me too” he teased “Oh my god, where?”. Joey chuckled “Wait I didn’t drool!” He laughed, “And they call me the slow one” Joey mocked. I gave him a dirty look before hitting him with the pillow. “You better get up, Chandler and Monica will be here soon” “But why…” he complained “Get up” I said grabbing his arm. Joey grabbed my arm and pulled me back down with him on the couch. “Joey, you have to go” I giggled “I will, eventually” he laughed “you know I would love for you to stay, but the apartment is messy… and Monica will lose it if I don’t clean it. Unless you want to help...” “I’ll get up now”.
