Fools

Part 17

That Same Day (Cate's p.o.v);

I was in the bathroom finishing up my makeup and braiding my hair. This is the first time I felt like actually making myself seem presentable since I came back home. Joe wanted to take me somewhere today, hence why he picked out my outfit. I laughed to myself at the thought of him taking the time to do that. But no matter what else I thought about, I couldn't stop thinking about that night. It fucking haunts me. It's been days since I came back, but this shit won't knock it off. I really don't know how I'm going to handle that whole situation with Scott, let alone Sydney. She was supposed to be my bestfriend, and she always cared for me. Why would now make her change? Caspar was probably right about what he said, that she was really only there during my lowest and not my highest. So maybe, she never really cared at all? 

I stared at myself in the mirror after I finished putting my last hair tie on. I'm starting to not like this person I'm seeing, and I hate feeling like I can't change it. I took a deep breath and shook it off. I promised myself that I wanted to fix this with Joe, and the night of the party was a problem to our relationship. I need to get a grip and let it go for the day. For Joe. I took another deep breath and walked outside of the bathroom. Joe was sitting on the bed, waiting for me to finish up.

"Ready to go?" Joe shot up and asked. I smiled and held out my hand for him to take.
"I sure am." He interlocked his fingers with mine and kissed my forehead. 
"You look beautiful by the way, love your outfit today. Whoever threw that together, has some taste." He winked.
"Yes my love, it really is the most amazing outfit, thank you." I rolled my eyes and smiled. He nodded his head and we walked out of the room to leave.
"Where are you two off to?" Caspar asked as he stopped us in the hallway. I shrugged and looked at Joe.
"Just a little place I thought Cate would appreciate." He winked again, I'm so confused.
"Ahh okay, well cheerio then! Off you go!" Caspar winked back and walked away. Caspar never talks like that, they're up to something.
"Joe, what in the bloody hell is going on?"
"Like I said Cate, you'll see. Now put this on." He wrapped a red blind-fold over my eyes and grabbed my hand again. I have no idea what is going on but whatever it is, it's taking my mind off everything by so much confusion. I laughed to myself.

An Hour Later;
"Okay we're here." I heard Joe say, he removed the blindfold and I looked up and saw,
"The airport?" He looked at me and smiled. "Joe what are we doing here?" I asked. Is he really taking me on a trip somewhere? Like geez Joe, here you go. Or, maybe he's taking me through a tour of the airport. Who knows.
"The airport Cate yes. We're going to get away. 3 days, 2 nights, me, you, and the pretty views of Bora Bora." My jaw dropped. Is he being serious?
"Joe...really? You did this?"
"Yes I did, planned this for a few days now. Zoe told me you were staying with her after we got into that whole...feud. Just, she told me how you weren't doing well at all and that's my fault because I should've been there. I should have never made you feel the way you did. I knew once I heard about how you were, I knew we'd find each other again and that I'd have a chance to make it up to you." Joe explained, tears formed in my eyes. Joe always goes above and beyond for me and I can't explain how that feels, to know someone wants to make sure I'm good before he's good. 
"Joe, I ca-can't even begin to explain how amazing this is that you did this for me. Thank you, but you know I would've just loved spending time with you at home. You didn't have to do this really."
"I know Cate. But you mean everything to me, and I would go to extremes to make you happy. Now let's go before we miss our flight."

We boarded the plane and I got the window seat while it was just Joe next to me.
"How did you even do this? How'd you pack my bags or anything?"
"The couple days planning, I made sure we had everything packed that you needed. Of course I picked out clothes you actually like this time, so you wouldn't have to deal with me everyday."
"Now that we've been mentioning it a lot, I actually kind of like this outfit, I dig it. Very Bora Bora like, a blue skirt with a black lacy top, and the black birks go well with the top. Oh! And the braids! A very tropical touch." There was a pause before we both started laughing. 
"Right...anyways, what would you like to do once we get there? Swim? Explore the vast sites? Take in the fresh air? Or we cou-" I stopped him.
"Whoa there, I think I need to take in this plane ride before I can think about anything else. For our first date, we went on a ferris wheel remember? Now you're taking me on a plane. Very 'out of this world' of you." I smiled and patted his leg.
"I get that, alright. Well then let's just chill from here and see how it goes." Joe replied as he laid back in the seat and closed his eyes.
"I love you Joe." I said with a faint smile, then kissed him on the cheek.
"And I love you, Cate." 

Couple hours & a plane ride later, we got to Bora Bora and checked into the hotel room. We got a balcony included with the room and the view is breathtaking, Joe couldn't have picked a better place for us to exist.
"Joe this is incredible," I stood at the ledge and looked around, taking in the view. "I've never seen anything like it." He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He moved my braid to the side and kissed my neck. 
"I'm glad you like it," He whispered. "I love you." He kissed my neck one more time before I turned around and embraced him.
"I love you." I pulled away and we looked into each others eyes, there was a pause before he kissed me. I kissed him back harder and he picked me up then we walked into the room. We kept kissing as he laid me down onto the bed, trying not to break the kiss. As the kissing got more intense and passionate, I began gripping at his shirt, lifting it off of him. 
"Cate, are you sure?" He asked once he stopped kissing me. I nodded my head as it felt like it was just the first time he was asking me. I shouldn't let what happened with Scott stop me from being with Joe, he's my person. We both smiled and he started kissing me again. He began taking off my shirt, leaving the black bralette he picked out on. I guess I can see why he picked that one out, I almost laughed out loud. What a charmer. 

He kissed me hard before leaving to go back to my neck. He started making a trail of kisses leading down to the button of my skirt, he unbuttoned my skirt and slid it down my legs, revealing the navy blue lacy thong he also picked out. Geez. He started taking off the thong with his teeth while lifting up my leg, he put it on his shoulder and began kissing on my inner thigh. I let out heavy breaths as he kept inching closer in, he wouldn't stop teasing me until I felt his breath hit my lips. He gave them a kiss before sticking his tongue inside to taste me. His mouth was so warm on the inside of me, I let out soft moans as he gradually went on. He went up towards my clit and began sucking, slipping his fingers inside me along after. I let out louder moans as he picked up the pace with the way he was fingering me. I could feel myself tensing up, eventually reaching my climax as time went on. I orgasmed for him as he was groaning along with my moans. He got up and wiped his mouth, (destiny - oh my god just imagine seeing joe like this, I can't. this is why I write fanfiction lmaoo) he looked down at me and I could not contain myself. I got up and began kissing him as I was undoing his belt. Once he finished revealing himself to me, he laid me back down and I could feel him slip inside. I let out a little moan and he smirked down at me. He wrapped me in a cradle and thrusted himself inside of me, our noises filling the room again but with even greater pitch. In this moment nothing came to my mind but him and us. Loving this boy is so beautiful and the love we make is even more beautiful. He consumed me, he came into my world and fucking became it. That was love. He held my hands down as he picked up his pace, then interlocked his fingers with mine. I turned my head to see our hands moving together as fast as he was going, and I smiled and closed my eyes. It felt like the world had stopped.

We had fallen asleep shortly after we both finished so when I woke up, it was already dark outside. I looked over at Joe, smiled and ran my fingers through my hair before getting up. I got dressed and grabbed the cigs Caspar had given me before going out to the balcony. I took in the view before lighting and taking a hit, Joe came out not a minute after.
"Cate? You're smoking?" He asked once he came and stood next to me.
"Yeah. I'm sorry, just with everything going on, I couldn't help myself." I said and took another hit. "Please don't be upset, you know I want to quit."
"I know Cate, but with everything going on like you said, I wouldn't want to take any thing like that away from you." He said, I gave him a look and smiled.
"Well thank you, I needed that." He nodded and smiled back. "It's so hard to just fucking forget you know? Like I couldn't even control my own body. And I hate myself for that." I poured out before taking another hit. "And you know, I don't like this person very much. I had the craziest thought the other day too. I don't like who I am, and I have to spend the rest of my life with myself." I looked over to him with tears forming in my eyes.
"Cate, whatever happened that night was not your fault and you know that. What could you have done in a situation so scary like that? It's okay that you couldn't take action, you didn't know how to react and that's not your fault." I wiped away a tear. "And you know Cate, I like who you are. I think you are a beautiful, kind person, who doesn't deserve any of what happened to you. And I will make up for lost time for what he did. You're my present, and future and he will pay for what he did. Don't lose yourself, and if you do, I will be right here to help you find her again. Whatever it takes, we're in this together."
"Joe I-" I started but he cut me off.
"You and Me okay?" He held out his hand and I grabbed ahold of it. I took a deep breath and let it out.
"You and Me."
