What Is Love? (A Ross and Rocky Lynch/R5 FanFiction)

Chapter 19

Rocky: Well on my way here I saw this cool restaurant and thought you might want to go with me.

Me: Oh... *looks back at Ratliff* *Looks back at Rocky* Rocky, I told you--

Rocky: No-no! It's not a date, trust me! I just wanted to spend time with you.

Me: Sooo... Ratliff can come?

[Rocky's POV: Who am I kidding? It is a date! But I can't be to straight forward! And no way! Rat can't come! He'll make things awkward...]

Rocky: Eh sure.

Ratliff: It's okay Jo, I can just stay here and see if I can find something fun to do around this hotel.

Rocky: Aww, that sucks. I really wanted you to come. Oh well.

[Rocky's POV: Thank The Lord!]

I knew Rocky wanted to do more than have a friendly dinner, so I was in for a treat. We arrived and it was beautiful. It had a red scene and just spoke love.

He pulled out a chair for me.

Me: Rocky, you don't have to---

Rocky: Just let me treat you to a good night. It's the least I can do.

Me: Least you can do for what? *sits down*

Rocky: I don't exactly know *laughs* it just sounded romantic.

Me: *smiles* Rocky, I really like you.

Rocky: Me too! *talks nervously* I-I mean, I like you too, not I like me, because that would be totally conceded, and I'm not that! I'm the oppos--

Me: Rocky! Calm down *snickers*

Rocky: Sorry *smiles* I'm just so nervous. It's like this is my first time meeting you.

Me: Why?

Rocky: I don't know, it's just different now that we aren't together.

Me: I kind of need to talk to you about that.

Rocky: Yeah?

Me: I want to be with you.

Rocky: No way! *smiles*

Me: But, I don't want to hurt you

Rocky: Wait what? How will you hurt me?

Me: *says nothing*

Rocky: Joann?

Me: Well... today I-Well Ratliff and I kissed, but it meant absolutley nothing! It never meant to happen!

Rocky: *says nothing*

Me: *starting to tear up* Rocky! Please say something.

Rocky: So... did you kiss him?

Me: He kissed me. But--

Rocky: Are you f*cking kidding me?

Me: Rocky! Please! You have to understand, he was here for me when you weren't!

Rocky: So you guys are a thing?

Me: No, I was just vulnerable! I needed someone to save me from my situation.

Rocky: So you just like everyone that's there at the moment?

Me: No! It's not like th--

Rocky: Why am I even here?

Me: Rocky! Listen! Please! I love you from the bottom of my heart! I have never met anyone as loving or caring as you! You make me feel at home when I have no home! It wasn't my fault nor Ratliff, so please don't risk anything! If you want I will leave, I just want you to know that I will never love anyone as much as I love you! You are a part of me Rocky! If you left, I would just die! Please, just don't push me out of your life.

Waiter: Are you guys ready to order?

Rocky: No!

The waiter walked away with a frown on his face and muttered something under his breath but Rocky didn't care.

Rocky: Joann, I feel the same way, but I can't believe you would do anything like that! I would never leave you, because you have become a part of my life I never want to lose, but why? Why would you? Why would Ratliff?

Me: Rocky? Can we just forget this moment? It meant nothing! Don't you trust me? I mean, I am telling you this happened and I always tell you everything. When I said it was nothing, it was nothing to me!

Rocky: *calming down* Nothing? Are you sure?

Me: Positive! You are the only thing that matters to me!

Rocky: Okay. *takes my hand and leans for a kiss* Joann, you mean so much to me. Don't ever leave me.

Me: *whispers* I won't. Ever.

After we finish eating we go back to the hotel and Rocky acts as if I had never told him I kissed Ratliff. He hugged me like there was no tomorrow and looked at me as if I was the most beautiful girl in the world.

At that moment, it occurred to me that Rocky did love me, and would put anything aside just to be with me.

That

Was

Love.
