Saved By The Boy Next Door

Part 45- Dates and promises!

Rose's POV

Joe and I were in Joe's car; he was driving us to our date location. I was totally oblivious as to where Joe was taking me.

"Please tell me" I said, dragging out the me.

"Nope!" he laughed.

"But I have no idea if i'm dressed suitably!" I whined.

"You look fine" he said.

I groaned.

"In fact" he said, smirking. "You look beautiful!"

I instantly blushed at his comment.

"Did I just catch you blushing?" Joe asked, smirking.

"Nope!" I laughed, trying to cover up my blushes.

"Oh, I think I did!" he laughed. "You definitely blushed!"

"Stop!" I laughed.

*******************

We arrived at our location; an ice-skating rink.

"Oh my god!" I said. "I love ice-skating!"

"So i'm guessing you can ice skate then?" Joe said.

"Yep!" I said. "Can you?"

"Yeah" he said. "Well, let's go in!"

Joe held my hand and I didn't object. It felt right. I loved it. We walked in.

****************

Joe and I were skating around the rink, hand in hand. There wasn't many people on the ice so it wasn't too busy. Joe started skating faster, causing him to practically drag me along the ice. I had to bend my knees a lot just so I wouldn't fall over!

"Joe!" I laughed. "I'll fall!"

Joe turned to smirk at me.

He carried on doing it, resulting me to fall on my butt.

"Help!" I laughed, knowing it would be a nightmare/total humiliation to try and get up on my own.

"Hmmmm I don't know!" Joe said, smirking.

"Yes!" I laughed. "It was your fault I fell so you have to help! It's the rules!"

"Well rules are meant to be broken" he said, smirking.

What did he mean by that?

By this time, Joe and I were the only ones left on the ice. He smirked at me, and just by that look alone, I knew he was up to something. Joe grabbed a hold of my leg and started dragging me across the ice.

"Joeeeeeee!" I laughed. "Stop! Please!"

"Say Joe is the best and I will!" he smirked.

"Never!" I laughed.

He carried on doing it.

"Fine!" I laughed. "Joe is the best!"

"And Joe is really sexy?" he smirked.

"Really?" I laughed.

He carried on dragging me.

"Fine!" I laughed. "Joe is really sexy!"

Joe stopped. He took my hands in his and carefully pulled me up.

"You really do look beautiful" he said.

"Thanks" I said, feeling myself blush.

"Anyone would be so lucky to have you" he said.

My blushing intensified.

But that got me thinking:

Who else gets me blushing like this?

That's right, no one.

Why should I let Mason ruin this?!

Why should I let him ruin me and Joe?

The man I really care for and actually love!

I want to be with Joe.

Nevermind just focusing on the trial.

I was just scared of the commitment from Mason's part, in case he was to hurt me.

But Mason isn't here anymore.

What's stopping me?

What's stopping me and Joe?

What's stopping US?!

Nothing!

"Could that person be you?" I asked, looking up to Joe's eyes.

"I'd love it to be" Joe said. "But I understand why you want to focus on the trial. I'd love to be with you. One day maybe we will be"

"Fuck the trial. Fuck everything" I said. "Now I finally don't have an excuse or anything to stop me. I want this!"

Joe looked into my eyes and we shared a kiss.

"So, let's do this now" he said, smirking.

"Is this you, Joseph Sugg, asking me to be your girlfriend?" I asked, smirking.

"I guess it is" Joe said, smirking.

"Yes" I said, smiling more than I have in forever. "I will!"

We both leaned in and kissed again. Nothing could ruin this.

*************

It had been several hours since Joe and I's date. He had to go to one of his friend's flats to film a few videos for his and his friend's youtube channels.

I was sitting on the sofa, looking at my new lock screen picture; it was a layout of two pictures, the first one on the left being a selfie of me and Joe smiling and hugging, and the one on the right being a selfie of us kissing. I loved it. Everytime I looked at it I got the same butterflies I get when I see Joe face to face. It warms my heart.

Just then, my phone rang. I didn't recognise the number but it was a mobile. I answered it.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Why hello"

I instantly knew who that was.

I felt like my blood stopped, fear replacing my insides.

It was Mason!

"M-Mason" I said, my words full of fear.

"Well you're not that stupid after all!" he laughed.

"H-how?" I asked.

How the hell did he get a phone?!

"I have a friend in here" he said. "He let me borrow it"

I need to tell someone. A police officer. This could jeopardised his case even more! This could ensure he stayed in prison!

"Oh and there's no point grassing me up" Mason laughed, as if he was reading my mind. "My friend hides these well. They'll never find it"

"Why did you call me?" I asked fearfully.

"Just to make sure you remember this" he spat. "Once i'm out, and trust me, i'll get out, I'm gonna kill you!"

"No!" I said, standing up for myself. "I won't let you threaten me anymore!"

"Oh, I don't threats" Mason said.

"W-what?" I said.

"I make promises!" he spat and hung up.

Tears ran down my face.

All the good thoughts I had from today had vanished.

I'm dead!
