Who do you Love? | Joey Graceffa&Sawyer Hartman

Chapter 71: Another direction.

I flop down onto my bed, letting out a satisfied "Agh". I was glad to finally be in my room and not stuck in that stuffy elevator.

Joey grins shaking his head, setting my bag down beside the bed. I flip over onto my stomach, watching Joey's every move as he took a seat on the end of the bed.

Mariella: Thanks for coming, even though you didn't have too.

Joey: You were in trouble, so I had to make sure you were okay.

I smile at his comment. I notice Veronica leading Luke into her room.

Mariella: Excuse me? What are you two up too?

Luke: I'm helping Veronica unpack.

Joey: Right. "Unpack"..

He did air quotations, making me smirk.

Veronica: You two have dirty minds.

Before Veronica closes her door, Luke peaks his head out.

Luke: We'll head out in a few minutes, Joey.

Mariella: More like a few hours.

He winks at us slowly shutting the door. I shake my head, sitting up and crossing my legs.

Mariella: So, how are things with Meghan?

Not the topic I wanted to talk about, but it was something. Well, the only thing that came to mind in the moment.

Joey: We're okay.

Mariella: Just "okay"??

I think back to when Joey said he would learn to love Meghan.

Joey: Yeah.

I had a feeling he's still learning.

Mariella: Well, does she know you're here?

Joey: No. Why?

Mariella: Like I said before, she doesn't like me. Don't tell her you came here.

Joey: You're still on that?

Mariella: One day you'll see her true colors.

We continue chatting until Luke came out of Veronica's room. We asked no questions on what occurred during that time. We just said our goodbyes and left it at that.

I took a long shower, than changed into pajamas. I felt refreshed as I unpacked my bag, throwing my dirty clothes into the hamper. I climb into bed as I check my phone.

One new text message.

[Jc]: Well, when you get out give me a call.

I laugh as I read his text. I get no sympathy? I press the call button, listening to it ring several times.

Jc: Did you finally get out?

I smirk.

Mariella: Yeah, after 3 hours.

Jc: How'd you get stuck anyway?

Mariella: We thought the elevator was finally fixed, since the out of order sign was taken down.

Jc: Someone pulled a bad joke on you.

Mariella: Obviously..

He chuckles.

Jc: So, I'm sure you heard from Ricky.

Mariella: Just about a dozen calls and texts.

He smirks.

Jc: Right. Well, I told him were not together.

Mariella: Did he believe you?

Jc: He didn't really say. He just kept asking why you kissed me.
