Numb

Chapter 1️⃣6️⃣

Ammika's POV

I was sitting outside on the front stairs, waiting for Joe. I just wanted to see him so bad. This hold he has on me is strong and I don't necessarily hate it, but it's an adjustment. I think about him a lot and when I'm not thinking about him, I'm thinking about thinking about him. I know it sounds crazy but, I believe I am really falling for him.

My family could potentially mess this up for me and that's why I just don't want this meeting to happen. I know Joe doesn't scare easily, but my family can be pretty persuasive with getting people to go away. I hope they like him, and I hope then I'll ask us how we met. That's gonna be kind of embarrassing to tell my family. Overall, I hope this goes well.

I text Joe to see how close he is, then I see a blue car coming up the driveway. I've never seen this car before a day in my life, so I don't know who this is. I instantly get suspicious and call my brother.

"TY!" I yell.

I watch as they drive closer, then I notice it's Joe. He pulls up, then gets out. A huge smile grows in my face, then when we lock eyes.

"What's up?" My bother says walking outside.

"Oh it's nothing. Joe's here." I say with a smile. He doesn't say anything, he just stands there.

Joe gets out of his car and instead of walking over to me, he just stands there and leans on the car.

"Hey." He smiles.

"Get your ass over here!" I say

"No you come here." He says, and as he says that I quickly made my way over to him. It was like he had control over me. He picks me up and I wrap my legs around him.

"Did you miss me?" He asks, looking into my eyes.

"I've missed you so much." He smiles and kisses me on the lips. After a few seconds, we hear my brother clearing his throat. He puts me down and I step back.

"Shut up, Ty." I say and he just walks away. "He's such an asshole. Anyway, new car?"

"Yeah, I needed a distraction. So I thought I'd try out McLaren."

I circle the car, looking at it.
