Your waiting at the bar for 4 shots it's currently 9pm your back in your home town of Frankenmuth visiting from college in New York where you study design. You decided to go out with the girls Mackenzie, Sara, and Ronnie. It's been a long time since you have seen them they are always so busy to come and visit you. The bartender hands you the shots and you got back to the table they are sitting at. You guys cheered and throw the liquid back you feel the hotness run down your throat. Sara and Mac excuse themselves to go to the bathroom. You have been super closes with Ronnie for a long time. You considered her a sister, you were apart of her family and she was apart of yours. You have the biggest crush on her brother Josh and she is always giving you a hard time. You were scared when she found out thinking she wouldn't want you around anymore but she didn't mind at all. In fact, she was always encouraging you guys to sit next to each other or do things alone and embarrassing you in front of him. You missed him and the rest of the boys a lot, they were always on tour.
"Are you feeling it, Ronnie? I kinda starting to get a buzz"
"I'm feeling it a little bit, nothing crazy. I missed you like crazy it's not the same with you gone"
"You should come up to New York and stay that would be so fun"
"I think about it from time to time"
"How are the boys, I haven't talked to them in forever. We text from time to time"
"They're good, they are actually getting in tonight, so you will see them tomorrow at the cookout, get this Sammy is bringing his GIRLFRIEND" she said with a giggle
"Oh no way, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME. Good for Sam have you met her?"
"Yeah, she is sweet her name is Joy, that just leaves 2 single Kiszkas, Me and Joshy boy. It's only a matter of time before you two confess your love and get married. I'll be alone forever" she said smirking
"Shut up Ronnie" you said with a hard eye roll as you finished your drink Sara and Mac came back and you guys headed to the dance floor. You guys were dancing like nobody was watching. You parted ways to go get a drink at the bar as you made your way there you ran straight into a guy.
"Oh sorry little lady" you froze at the sound of the voice looking up shocked at who was standing in front of you it was Josh
"Holy shit, y/n is that you, oh my god how are you?" He asked pulling you in a tight long hug, it looks as if Ronnie didn't tell him either
"I've been good, and yourself Kiszka?"
"Really good, Ronnie told me she was here but she didn't tell me who she was with. I missed you doll, you look great"
"Thanks, Josh, your not to bad yourself" you said as a blush crept on your cheeks you guys were interrupted by Jake
"Holy crap, y/n Ronnie didn't tell us you were in town, how's New York?" He questioned as he pulled you in for a quick hug.
"It's really good, schools great. It just gets lonely sometimes"
"Oh it's only a matter of time before you get friends and even a boyfriend, then you won't be lonely" Jake said with a smirk. You looked at Josh who seemed to be deep in thought looking kind of sad, you took a note to ask him about it later.
"No way that's gonna happen, Is Sammy here, and Danny?"
"Yeah they are at the bar" Jake spoke
"Cool that's where I was headed"
"I'll buy you a drink, Doll" Josh said breaking out of his trance grabbing your hand leading you to the bar he let go and ran up behind Sam and Danny
"Are you guy even 21?" you said in a serious voice. Their heads whipped in your direction. Their eyes lit up at the sight of you
"You scared us, y/n" Danny said standing to hug you then Sam got up and did the same
"Y/n this is Joy, Joy this is y/n"
"So nice to meet you I've heard a lot about you"
"I didn't know Sammy was such a fan"
"Oh, I'm not. I barely can stand you. Josh is the one leaving raving reviews" Sam said with a booming laugh. Joy just smacked Sam's shoulder, you looked a Josh and you swore you saw him turning red. He turned and looked at you with a goofy smile, he walked over, throwing his arm around your shoulder
"Shove it, Sam, it's impossible to not be a fan of y/n and you know it" he said handing you a drink with his other hand. It was your turn to blush now. Danny got up to find Mac and the rest of the group. While you, Josh, Sam, and Joy went to find a booth you took the seat next to Josh and he slung his arm around you pulling you close, you looked at him and he flashed you a smile.
"So y/n how's school?" Sam asked
"Really good, I love my classes and I'm learning a lot. It's pretty dope, but it gets lonely from time to time. Believe it or not, I miss you assholes, nobody ever comes and visits"
"I'm glad you are enjoying it, I'm sure you'll make friends. Meanwhile, you can text or call us, we miss you too, some more than others" Sam said looking at Josh
"When are you heading back?"
"8 days from now, what about you guys?"
"We are on a 3-week break, which is unheard of" Sam said
"Oh that's nice school starts back up in 3 weeks from now"
"Why are you going back so soon, Doll" Josh asked
"I don't know, I miss home but this weird thing happens when I come back I just want to leave again. This place grows old fast, I also didn't know you guys would be in town"
"You should cancel your flight and come to the cabin with us, I told Ronnie to ask you, it seems she is keeping things from us" Josh spoke looking at you with hope in his eyes
"Oh my god, you so should. Just like the old days" Sam said shooting you a smile
"Sounds good to me I just will have to see if I can reschedule my flight, I couldn't afford another"
"I can cover you Doll if you can't reschedule. I have missed you so much, I would legit do anything to get you to come" Josh spoke
"Well, in that case, you will be seeing a lot of me. You'll be happy when it's time to depart"
"That's impossible" Josh said looking in your eyes. You looked at him and smiled, he always knew how to make you feel special. Your thoughts were interrupted when you heard one of your favorite songs come on.
"Well this has been fun, but I'm gonna go shake my ass" they all laughed at you. You stood up and made your way to the dance floor. Ronnie saw you and grabbed your hand as you two danced like fools.
Josh's p.o.v
I was so surprised to see y/n, she is my absolute favorite. I have been in love with her the day Ronnie introduced us. She looked absolutely stunning tonight dressed up for nobody. I wish I had the guts to tell her how I feel, but I don't want to ruin our friendship. I'm snapped out of my thoughts by Sam and Joy.
"You should go dance with her, dumbass" Sam spoke
"Nah Sammy it's not like that, she isn't interested"
'That totally bullshit Josh, she totally likes you I can see it in the way she looks at you, and I just met her" Joy said laughing
"You really think so"
"For sure, that's what I'm always telling him. He refuses to listen" Sam added
"Okay, Okay I'll go see if she wants to dance"
I get up and make my way over to the dance floor and stop for a moment scanning the floor for y/n, Ronnie, Jake, Danny, Mac, and Sara. My eyes lock on the group. I stand there for a moment just staring at y/n trying to gain some confidence. She looks so great they're so many things I wanted to do to her. The way she just looked so carefree shaking her hips to the beat, laughing every so often was turning me on. I could tell she was wasted but she was having a good time. The song changed and the group got even more hype, it was my time to interrupt their little dance party or was it. Why do I always overthink everything, why does she make me so nervous; I am usually so good with girls besides her. My thoughts were broken out of my trance when I felt a person next to me. I looked over and saw Jake next to me.
"You know it's creepy to stare"
"Shut up, Jake"
"You should go dance with her my brother, She is longing for someone to dance with"
"Jake seriously"
"Josh nobody shakes their hips like that if they don't want someone to dance with them"
"You sure?"
"Look she likes you, bro, if you don't go dance with her I will." My head snapped in the direction on my brother who was just smirking, I knew he wasn't kidding. This was all I needed to hear, I made my way over to the group. Ronnie was the first to see me she pulled me into a warm hug, I then hugged the rest of the group. We started dancing, I saw Jake come back with two drink he handed one to y/n and shot me a wink. He moved to the other side of the group. I locked eye with y/n and she was already looking at me. I took her free hand in mine and spun her around, she stopped herself before making a full spin. She then wrapped my arm around her waist and started to grind on me, I was trying to remain cool, calm, and collected but she took her hand up and wrapped it around my neck. It was clear to me she was really buzzed, my face was as red as a tomato. I looked at Jake who had a smirk on his face, as he mouthed "I told you so" I shook my head leaning down to whisper in her ear "I missed you so much y/n" she took her head and turned it towards my ear "I missed you too, Joshy. Have I ever told you how handsome you are?"
"No beautiful, Have I ever told you what you do to me?" I questioned her
"No Josh, enlighten me" she said turning around facing me not missing a beat. She started to nibble my ear and kiss down my jaw. My eye grew wide before I knew it she was kissing me on the mouth, I kissed her back passionately before I realized how drunk she was. I pulled back she looked at me with hurt in her eyes "Doll we can't do this, you are really drunk" She let go of me before I could grab her arm she was running away from the dance floor. Ronnie looked at me upset & mad
"What did you want me to do Ron make-out with her while she's extremely intoxicated" Ronnie nodded understanding where I was coming from as she went to go find her best friend. I followed closely behind, we found y/n against a wall outside with a scraped knee, she was crying. Ronnie looked at me and told me to do something. Without thinking I sat next to her and pulled her into a hug rubbing her back, she looked at me with sad eyes
"Hey y/n, sorry I'm a dickhead. I just didn't want to take advantage of you. We can make-out tomorrow when you're sober"
"I'm such an idiot Josh I thought you liked me, but you don't, now I ruined everything" she cried putting her head deep in my chest. I looked at Ronnie "Ron, can you go get some water, and tell everyone we should head home" Ronnie nodded turning around.
"Hey Doll, you ruined nothing. The feelings you have are mutual, your just drunk. How about we have this conversation tomorrow. Will you take deep breaths for me and try to calm down" she nodded "Will you sing to me that always calms me down when I'm having an anxiety attack" she spoke softly, "Of course doll, anything for you." I started lightly singing until she stopped crying and started to softly snore. I just smile to myself, this was going to make it a lot easier to tell her how I feel.
Waking up the next morning your head was spinning, you were laying in an unfamiliar bed. You sat up slowly and you soon recognized your surroundings, you were laying in Josh's bed you noticed the other side of the bed was slept in. You were embarrassed not ready to brace everyone, not being able to recall the events of the night before. You flung your legs off the side of the bed and saw your knee had a giant bandaid on it, and your leg was really sore. You stood up and got extremely lightheaded a long shirt hit you mid-thigh, the realization hit you that someone had to put you in the long shirt. You really hoped it wasn't Josh. You went to Josh's dresser and grabbed a pair of shorts slipping them over your legs. Right as they were on Josh came in the door with a glass of water and Aleve, he handed you the glass and pill and softly spoke
"Morning, How bad are you Hungover?"
"I feel like I'm dying, Did I act a fool?" a blush crept on Josh's face and you looked at him confused
"You can't remember anything?" he said with a smirk
"The last thing I remember was leaving you, Sam, and Joy to dance. What did I do?"
"I'll tell you later you are going to need to prepare yourself" he said with a quiet laugh
"It was that bad, please tell me, pretty please Joshy"
"Well um-you-um we kissed, and you told me you liked me. I stopped before it went any farther and you got really upset, but it's not a big deal" he said because he saw panic all over your face
"I think I'm going to be sick" you said as the color drained from your face. You started towards the bathroom. Josh was following close behind you, as you got down in front of the toilet, Josh held your hair as you let up the contents of your stomach. He rubbed circles on your back, as your throwing up came to a stop Josh stopped rubbing your back and got an extra toothbrush out of the drawer. handing it to you
"I didn't know I was that repulsive" he said with a giggle, you meekly smiled "I'm just messing doll, we don't have to talk about it, let's just pretend it didn't happen"
"Yeah okay, for the best, I guess. Did I do it in front of everyone?" You died a little inside at what he said he must have hated it.
"Yeah, not the breakdown part. Just me and Ron, you were asleep by the time everyone came outside."
"I fell asleep outside? I must have been wasted?" you said
"Yeah, you fell asleep, you were pretty wasted"
"I'm sorry, Josh thanks for taking care of me"
"Of course Doll, anything for you. Let me go get you another Aleve"
Josh walked out of the bathroom, you shut the door and let the tears spill over. You didn't even realize you had to cry until now. You turned on the shower to mask the sound of your crying. there was a knock on the door and you heard Josh
"Hey Doll I sat the Aleve on the nightstand with a cup of water there is a towel in the cabinet you can use. I'm making breakfast"
"Okay" you said sounding a little stuffy
"You okay Doll?"
"Yeah, I'm fine see you in a bit"
"Okay Doll I'll be counting the minutes" You slid down the shower wall and just let the water run over you. You feel like such a piece of shit, Josh seems to be fine but you love to overthink everything. You stood to wash your hair washing away the shame, sweat, and alcohol from last night. You finished your shower got out grabbed a towel dried yourself off, grabbing the shorts you took off and walking out to grab a fresh shirt out of Josh's dresser. You took the towel off and was about to throw on the shirt when the door swung open
"Hey Doll food is done" Josh yelled still thinking you were still in the shower. he looked up, seeing your upper body completely naked "Holy shit y/n I'm so sorry" Josh looked down blushing intensely, you quickly covered your body, also extremely embarrassed. "It's okay Josh, Can you get out so I can put my shirt on"
"I think you mean my shirt, but yeah I'll see you downstairs" he smirked "Fuck off" you said rolling your eyes you threw the shirt on and went to the bathroom to bush out your hair. You walked out of the room and down the stairs. Everyone was sitting at the table you took a deep breath preparing yourself for what was coming next.
Sam- "Morning y/n how's the hangover?" he giggled
"Shove it, Sammy"
Jake- "Forget that How you recovering from you hot makeout session with Josh" Jake said with a smirk
"Honestly Jake it was better than any makeout session you've had or givin" you said flipping him off and sitting next to Josh at the table. The table erupted with laughter, and Ronnie gave you a high five. You guys ate and joked around for the next hour. Until Ronnie got a call she hung up
Ronnie-"That was mom she wants us over to help set up"
"Can somebody run me home, so I can change?"
Ronnie- "Josh can" she said smiling
Sam- "I vote Josh as well"
Josh- "For sure, I vote me as well"
"Yeah okay, let's go I want to see Mama & Papa Kiszka as soon as possible" you said
"Alright doll, let me change into shorts" he said running up the stairs. When he came back down he was wearing really short red swim trunks and a white t-shirt and a bandana. "You ready to rock & roll babydoll?"
"Sure thing mister America"
"You love it don't even pretend you don't" A blush crept on your face as you guys made your way outside.
"Yeah, yeah you look alright"
"Not to bad yourself, I'm kinda sad tho"
"Why Josh"
"Because you're not gonna wear my favorite shirt, and it looks extremely good on you"
"Oh this is your favorite shirt, I was thinking about keeping it"
"Oh no your not"
"What why? I need something to wear when I miss you" you said sitting down in his car
"if that's the case, You can have it Doll, but it doesn't even smell like me. That's a shame"
"You're right, I don't want it" Josh giggled started driving down the road he turned up the radio the song faded out and he turned the radio down "Hey y/n, you want to talk about last night, I think we should" you panicked
"Josh I'm sorry if I crossed a line, I was drunk, I can't remember."
"Hey calm down it's o-" you interrupted him "I'm so stupid I don't want to ruin our friendship. I would take it back if I could" You started to spiral out of control, Josh pulled the car over "Hey Y/n, You're fine, it was fine" you shook your head "We can just pretend it didn't happen like you said" you said as your voice cracked "Darling look at me, that is not what I meant. Take a deep breath okay" tears started to well up in your eyes "y/n please don't cry, we are okay nothing is wrong with our friendship. I'm not going anywhere ever" Josh tried to reassure you, you let a few tears slip down your cheek Josh brought his thumb up to your face and brushed them away pulling you into his arms "I love you y/n, more than you will ever know" he mumbled the last part so you couldn't hear him & kissed your forehead. You calmed down and he let you go. "Now that your calm can I tell you something Doll?" you nodded "Okay, I'm not sure how to say this but, I like you, like, like like you. I can't take it anymore seeing you all the time and you not being mine. Your laugh, sense of humor, confidence, sass, don't get me started on how drop dead gorgeous you are. I love you, yeah I LOVE YA DOLL. There I said it" he said looking at you, you were crying but this time it was tears of joy "Why are you crying, still? I fucked up didn't I" he kept mumbling under his breath. You were shaking your head no "Josh, I love you too" he stops and looked at you the biggest smile broke out on his face. He grabbed the back of your neck pulling you towards him kissing you with so much passion & hunger.
