1001 LOVE STORIES(book Of Oneshots)

Taken (62)

I learned how he wanted five kids. Two girls and three boys.

How he wanted to live of a farm. With houses and chickens. How he wanted to be a teacher.

I told him how I wanted to drive NASCAR and live like a king.

Honestly it seemed as though he had everything figured out for himself and I wanted to be apart of it. I honestly could see myself coming home to him and cuddling just as we were doing here.

Every once in a while kissing him to brake the comfortable silence.

As the noise downstairs got quieter and quieter. We stayed together and I knew that this couldn't be the end of us.

It was a little before day brake when he falls asleep in my arms. I stare deeply into his face. Taking in every feature. He was beautiful.

Someone so plain. Someone I didn't care about a few hours ago. Felt perfect to me. I kiss his lips one final time.

Hopefully I'll remember these feelings. Hopefully I wont regret everything we said and done. Hopefully when a new day starts and I wake up along side him. Well still be this happy.

I wake up slightly hungover and alone. I sit up. A little to fast for my state and my head starts to spin. But I smile. Remembering him.

Joe.

I stumble out of bed before realizing that he had no doubt went home and I wouldn't see him again. No I had to see him. I just had to find him.

I rush down stairs to see a few people packing up still disoriented from the night before.

"Hey do you remember that guy. Joe. From last night." I ask a girl and she shrugs. Her makeup running down her face and her hair a mess.

Next was a guy who's no doubt house it was.

"Uh do you know Joe. He was here last night." I ask and he sighs.

"I don't know any Joe. If he was here he came with someone else." He tells me and there's a slight pain in my chest. There was no less then fifty people here last night. How could I track him down?

I walk down the street sadly.

I should have asked for his number. Suddenly it hit me. I pat my back pocket and sure enough there's a phone in it. I had no idea what I was gonna do with it. It's not like I knew his password. But I had hope that at least he'd be looking for it.

I smile.

Monday came with no sign of him and I still felt just as strongly for him as I did then. People asked me about him and sure enough I stopped avoiding their question for a simple. I like him.

I had hope that I'd turn a corner and see him but I knew I wouldn't. I would have recognized him even if he was in a lower grade.

"Hey. Nick." I hear someone call out i smile.

It was the girl from yesterday who I had kissed during spin the bottle.

"Hey uh. My friend wanted to know if you still had his phone?" My heart nearly does a back flip.

"Joe." I ask a little too excited.

"Yeah." She says slightly put off at my excitement.

"Yeah." I smile pulling out the phone and she tries to take it.

"Actually. Is there anyway I can get in contact with him. We need to talk about some things." I ask her pulling it back.

"Uh. No. He said he was drunk and it was a stupid mistake." She says and my heart breaks a little.

"Oh." I whisper and she tries to get the phone. But I can't let that happen.

Something in those blue eyes told me it wasn't a mistake. A drunken misshape. There was something in his eyes that I needed to see again.

I pull the phone away.

"On second thought I don't have it. I think I lost it." I say before putting it in my pocket.

"Tell him if he wants it. Meet me at the old water park." I tell her by walking away.

"He says he's not gay." She shouts.

"And sex with you was the biggest mistake of his life." She shouts and I stop.

"What?" I ask her and she frowns.

"He cried and told me that it was the worst moment of his life. He hated every minute of it." What did he think we had sex?

Did we have sex?

No. I remember every moment of that night. And even if my hormones were so back that I sleep fucked him I wouldn't get dressed.

So why would he think we had sex.

Did he not remember anything of that night?

Well it sounds like he does. Or.

"Joe told you that?" I ask and she smiles nodding a little.

"OK." I say before walking off.

"I want to hear him say it."

Joe's POV

"What he say?" I ask Amy the moment she arrives to my room.

"He says he didn't have it and he doesn't want to see you again. He said that sex was a mistake and if his girlfriend found out he'd be pissed." She tells me and my heart shattered it was too much to take in.

We didn't have sex. I didn't drink last night so I would have remembered. I wanted to but he looked as though just being close to me was enough. Like he didn't want a one night stand. Like he wanted something real.

Did he think we had sex?

He had a girlfriend? He told me he didn't.
"Oh. Then I must've left it in he room." I tell her and he sighs.

"I know you liked him. But some people are just born dicks." She says and I nod.

"Maybe you should try getting a girlfriend." She tells me and I nod.

The moment she's gone I pick up the house phone and dial my number. With every ring my heart beats faster until;

"Hello." He says in a voice i remember.

"Hi it's Joe." I say and there's a short pause.

"Hi Joe. Its Nick." He says and my heart flutters.

"I need my phone." I tell him and he shoots back.

"I need to see you." He says quietly.

"Is your girlfriend OK with that?" I asked and he chuckles.

"I don't have a girlfriend." He tells me and I smile slightly.

"Uh but Amy said;" I started before realizing.

"Well Amy's been saying a lot of things." He tells me.

"Meet me at the old water park in fifteen." With that I get up and go.

I walk there all the while my heart starts to flutter.

What am I gonna do? What am I gonna say?"

I want to be with him. I want to start a relationship.

When I get there waiting by the gate is a figure. As the sun began to set I smiled warmly and he returns it.

"Nick." I say and he smiles again.

"Joe." I rush over to him and he smiles.

"My phone?" I asked and he holds it up.

"I don't know what Amy told you but we didn't have sex. I don't have a girlfriend and I really like you." He tells me and I smile.

"I know. I really like you too." I tell him and he smiles again.

He then hugs me. Kissing my lips softly.

"Good." He whispers.

"Yeah." I say kissing him back.
