MASTERLIST

Joe jolted awake as he heard the doorbell rang again and jumped almost falling from the couch to the floor. His eyes snapped open, he took some time to realize where he was. His heart was pounding with all that adrenaline rush and his body was covered in a profuse sweating in a quiet awe, unable to know exactly how to react. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves. He looked for you and Aaron everywhere, maybe you were hidden in a room, but you weren’t really there.

He tried to take another deep breath and calm down. What happened? Then, he walked towards the door and opened it, frowning. An old lady was beaming at him. She was wearing a fur coat and holding a purse. If he was confused before, now he thought he had lost his mind.

“Good night young man. Do you know where does Mr. Parsons live? My phone died and I can’t remember his house’s number.” She explained in an apologetically way while she checked Joe’s address.

“Hmm...he lives down the street, at number 8.” He indicated with his hands.

“Thank you so much, I’m sorry for bothering you.” She said as she started walking.

“No problem.” He closed the door and put his hands on his head, trying to find answers to his questions. What was going on?

It was a dream. A nightmare. He had that image of you stuck in his mind, you on his lap, kissing him while his hands touched every single part of your body, something that Joe would die to do.

He poured himself a glass of water to calm down a bit and as he started to switch off the lights, there was a knock on the door. He huffed and opened the door quickly.

“Did you find Mr. Parsons hous...”

Your standing figure left Joe speechless. You were playing with your hair and moving your feet, looking shy at him.

You woke up at 06:00 p.m after sleeping all day, like eight hours. You really needed that, you felt so much better now not only because you got enough sleep but also because you saw Joe in the morning. Even though you didn’t talk about what happened, you felt relieved. You believed he would hate you and wouldn’t give you an opportunity to talk and express your feelings, but at the same time, you felt the worst person in the world.

You had a wonderful friendship and you were not appreciating it enough. You remembered those old times in which you didn’t have friends, the countless nights you cried yourself to sleep and feeling terrible for being so alone in this world. You felt you were becoming one of those people who made you feel miserable and you didn’t want to make Joe suffer like that. He didn’t deserve that, nobody deserved that. You had to talk to him as soon as posible. You needed to see him.

It was late but you couldn’t wait until tomorrow morning so you put on a coat and took a taxi to his place. As you were paying the taxi driver, you noticed he switched the lights off, maybe he was about to go to bed. You ran quickly and knocked the door before he went to sleep.

When he opened the door, he was shocked by your presence. It was clear he wasn’t expecting to see you there.

“Hello.”

“Please, come in.” He let you in and closed the door. He helped you with your coat and hugged you desperately tight.

Now he could confirm it was really a dream.

“Joey, I can’t breath.” You laughed.

“Sorry. Are you ok? How did you get here? Did something happen?” He was babbling a lot of questions you didn’t understand.

“Everything is fine. I took a taxi.” You placed your hands on his back and caressed it softly. “You are sweating let me check your temperature.” You had to stand on yout tiptoes to reach his height since he was taller than you. You kissed his forehead, as your mom did when you were a child.

Joe’s heart began to beat hard again. He swallowed. “I had a nightmare...sometimes when it happens, my body reacts that way.” He sighed.

“Yeah, your temperature is normal. Do you wanna talk about it?”

“Not really, sorry.” He nodded.

Never in a million years he was going to tell you about that. Or at least not in the foreseeable future.

“Come here.” You opened your arms and he hugged you happily. "Can we talk about everything we've been through? I can't take it anymore."

"Yes, sure."

He went to the kitchen and brought a glass of water to the living roon, where you were waiting for him. You apologized for being such a bad friend and promised to be a better person, you really meant it. You tried your best to hold back the tears but it was impossible, you were already crying. You didn't want him to be out of your life. Joe apologized too and held you in his arms, suggesting you should both forget and pretend that nothing happened because it would be better. You also promised him you were going to spend more time together, no matter what. It was already midnight when you finished talking.

"Please, stay here, it's too late." He said as he switch off the lights again.

"Are you sure? I can call a taxi."

"No, I’m not going to let you go home alone. Please, stay." He begged, pouting. It was hard to say no when he looked so cute doing that puppy face you couldn't resist. You agreed staying with him.

"You can sleep on my bed, I’m going to sleep on the couch, don't worry." He gave you a smile. You said you were going home but he didn't agree.

"Sleep with me, then." You shrugged. Joe blushed and nodded. "If we don't come to terms, we're going to share it."

You both walked silently into his bedroom. The idea of sleeping together seemed to scared you both. He opened his wardrobe and gave you one of his shirts. He grabbed one for him and left you alone so you could get changed. You removed your clothes, leaving only your underwear and Joe's shirt on. It felt so weird to be almost naked in his room. He knocked on the door and asked if he could come in.

"Yes.” You replied folding your arms on your chest, trying to hide your boobs.

He came in and got rid of his jeans. Then, he lay down on his bed. You couldn’t help but stare at his body, so did he.

“Come here.” He called you, patting the empty right side of the bed that was waiting for you, beside him.

You lay down and covered yourself with the blankets. Everything felt so strange. You were nervous.

After a few minutes of talking, Joe fell asleep. He looked so calm. He was sleeping on his right side. All the muscles in his face and body were totally at peace, he looked like a baby. His soft breathing made the world seem to stand still. It made your heart melt, your eyes couldn’t leave his face. You couldn’t stop smiling.

And that’s when you knew something was different. You felt different. You’ve been in love before and you thought that you would no more, but now he was bringing it back, that old feeling in you. Everytime you looked at him everything seemed to be ok, that there wasn’t any danger in the world at all or anything to worry about. You felt safe with him. All you wanted to know was how it felt to lay in his arms and feel loved.

You were head over heels for him and you were finally admitting it. Why was it so hard to do?

You opened your eyes and felt lazy. Your eyelids were heavy and your thoughts were confusing. Your back hurt so you moved, but you were being held. Your eyes were still shut. As soon as you remembered what happened last night, your eyes opened.

Joe was hugging you. His strong arms were around your hips and his head was placed on your shoulder. It was making you kind of jittery because you didn't know how to react. You loved being like this and you wished you could do it everyday but you didn't know how he would react when he wake up.

Not until you started coughing Joe opened his eyes and smiled, but when he noticed you were beside him, he jumped out of bed and fell to the floor.

"Joe!" You bent over beside him. "Are you ok?" You asked with a concerned gaze.

"I think so." He put his hands on his head and sat on the floor, still confused.

Being almost naked around each other made both of you nervous, but for a reason, you couldn't stop looking at each other.

"I'm going to make breakfast." You said as you stood up.

"No, leave it on me. You are my guest today so I'm going to make you breakfast." He said with pride. You giggled.

He got dressed and went downstairs. You couldn't believe what happened. Yesterday morning he was mad at you and you thought he wasn't going to talk to you ever again and a day later, you wake up on his bed and he makes you breakfast.

As you were getting dressed, a peculiar smell came from the kitchen and you could hear Joe cursing. When you were ready, you went to check what was going on.

"Everything alright?" You asked Joe as you walked towards him.

He turned around and faked a smile. "Absolutely."

You tried to see what was on the kitchen counter but he was covering it on purpose.

"Joe...I'm not dumb, you burnt something." You said, raising an eyebrow.

"Fine. I was trying to make scrambled eggs because I know they are your favorite but..." He sighed. "I overcooked them." He said upset.

You couldn't resist and smiled fron ear to ear. You didn't care about the burnt eggs, but the fact he remembered they were your favorite and tried to prepare them for you was something that made your heart melt.

"Don't worry Joey, I really appreciate it." You said happily.

"What? Are you crazy? I'm not going to let you eat that." You could see in his eyes he was really upset.

You laughed and hugged him. "I appreciate what you have done for me, even though it went wrong."

He half-smiled and hugged you too. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. Let me make us breakfast." You rubbed his back.

"No. I have a plan B." He looked for the ingridients and started to prepare hotcakes.

You bent over the kitchen counter and you couldn't help but stare at him lovingly while he cooked. Why did it take you so long to come to terms with your feelings? There was a reason. You were so used to being left out in the past that sometimes it was still weird to feel love for others without being afraid of ended up hurt.

"At least I didn't burn breakfast this time." Joe said proudly and you laughed.

"What are we waiting for? Let's eat!"

After breakfast, you headed to another day of reharsals. You wished you could stay all day long with Joe, but the musical was getting closer.

It was finally may. It meant the musical was only a few weeks away and you were doing absolutely amazing. You felt confident in every act and dancing while singing was becoming easier little by little.

Things with Joe were better now. His To do list came back so you both visited New York and pretended to be tourists, something you both found funny.

Since you were seeing Joe more frequently, you both started flirting with each other. It was easier than flirting with a complete stranger because you knew his sense of humor and what he liked so you used what you knew about him to take your conversation from normal to flirty.

Joe would tell you everytime you went out you looked nice. He tried to get more physical by letting his hand on your knee and placing your hair behind your ear while you were talking.

He even watched Friends, your favorite tv show so he could talk about it with you -You weren't surprised when he told you his favorite character was Joey.-

You also had silly arguments, like those old married couples that argue about the silliest things but are so cute while doing it.

"I'm telling you, grilled cheese and ketchup is a match made in heaven, trust me." You winked at him and he made a throw-up face.

"No! You are crazy! Dipping a grilled cheese sandwich in ketchup is a food catastrophe." He explained while moving his hands, something he always did and you always liked.

You would make eye contact even when you were in a room full of people. You found him sharing longing glancing with you and smiles that lasted a little bit longer than usual. And sometimes that smile lasted even after he walked away. That's the smile you have when someone you love texts you and a friend asks what you’re smiling about.

You also blushed when you handed him a coffee and your hand brushed against his fingers.

There was a sweet awkwardness when tension was at play. It almost mimicked the feeling of sharing a flirtation in high school before you know how to handle your hormones.

You were having lunch at the theater during reharsals when your phone rang. "Lucy added you to group Rami's birthday"

She arranged a surprise party for his birthday. Lucy had flown Gwilym and Ben from London to New York and planned an entire weekend celebration.

It was friday night and you were waiting for Rami and Lucy on the rooftop in Manhattan with Joe, Ben and Gwilym. Rami was here in the city filming Mr. Robot, so when he finished working, she took him there.

"Lucy said they are coming." Gwilym said checking his phone so you all stood up beside your chairs, waiting for your friends.

When Rami saw all of you, his jaw dropped. He was awestruck seeing all of you there, especially Ben and Gwilym.

"Surprise!"

"You two are such liars." Rami told you and Joe while laughing. You both told him you were going to be busy that weekend so you won't have the chance to celebrate with him. "And you two!" His big smiled spoke for him. He was awestruck seeing everyone there.

"We wanted to give you a little surprise." Gwilym said giggling. "Lucy, you did amazing!"

Lucy was delighted with her surprise. She was very nervous and planned everything in a matter of days.

"How did I get so lucky?" Rami hugged her.

You wished you could do something like this for Joe someday.

After you had dinner, you decided to stay at Joe's house. But first, you were going to have fun.

"Let's play Never have I ever." Ben suggested.

"Ben, we're not in high school anymore." You chuckled.

"But that's going to be fun and the questions are going to be kinda spicy, you know." He said moving his eyebrows.

Joe brought some bottles of wine and cans of beer while you all sat on the couch, waiting for him.

"Ok so, here I have the cards." Ben put the deck on the table and Rami gave him a weird look.

"When did you buy those?" He asked while drinking a beer.

"I bought them in London last year. Let's play!" He picked one from the deck. "Rules are very simple. If someone has done the action in question, this person takes a shot. Maybe you'll have to elaborate on it in detail. If no one has done the action in question, the person who posed the query takes a drink. So, first question, 'Never have I ever cheated on someone'." Ben looked at the five of you, nobody took a shot, except for him.

"What?" Lucy asked surprised.

"Ah yes, such a long story but I was 19." Ben shrugged. "Rami, pick a card."

"Ok, let's see." He grabbed one and read it. 'Never have I ever sent a naughty photo to someone'." He chuckled and took a shot, so you all did.

"I see you all love being naughty, hm." Lucy said. "My turn." She grabbed a card now. "Oh, this one is good. 'Never have I ever had a one-night stand'."

Everybody took a shot, except you. All eyes were on you

"Are you kidding us?!" Ben yelled. "You have to be kidding us!"

"No. That's not my thing, I need to feel something for that person, otherwise I don't do it. And I think I've already mentioned it. But I had a sort of friends-with-benefits thing a few times." You replied.

"You have to try it, you'll like it." He winked at you and you laughed.

"Benjamin Jones, are you trying to seduce our friend?" Lucy asked while drinking beer. Joe looked at him.

"No, I've just said she has to give it a go."

"Ok, my turn now." Joe read the question. "'Never have I ever had sex in a public place'." He cracked a laugh and took a shot. Ben, Gwilym and you took one too.

"I bet you remembered something." Ben told Joe and he nodded his head yes.

"I'm not going to be too graphic but, it was at the beach in L.A and we almost got caught." He took a sip of beer.

You gave him a mischivious glare. You were tipsy by now. "So you like taking risks."

"You took a shot too. Where did you do it?" He asked curious.

"At a restaurant." You grabbed a card and Joe kept his eyes on you. "'Never have I ever given or received a lap dance'."

You and Lucy took a shot. Rami giggled and Lucy elbowed him. Joe was staring at you and when you noticed it, you winked to him. Alcohol was making you more confident.

"Last one or we're going to end up throwing up Joe's house." Gwilym picked a random card from the deck. "Never have I ever fancied someone in this room."

You almost choke while drinking wine. Of course, Rami and Lucy were the ones who took a shot first. Then, Ben followed them as well as Joe and you.

"Mm, interesting." Gwilym laughed. "Do any of you wanna say something?" He asked Ben, Joe and you.

"Game over Gwil." Lucy noticed you were shooked or astonished so she saved you from your British friend's question. "Why don't we clean this table before these guys make a mess?" She suggested you and you jumped off the couch.

"Now that the girls are in the kitchen, what do you have to say about the last question?" Gwilym asked.

"I fancied Lucy when I first met her but that was almost a year ago, don't worry mate." Ben assured Rami. They were all drunk as a skunk.

"I'm not even surprised." Rami laughed and grabbed another can of beer. "And Joe?"

"I think (y/n)____ has a nice ass. I'm in love with her." He replied and the guys laughed out loud.

"Ohh, this is gonna be good for tomorrow." Rami told Gwilym beaming.

"Why are you guys screaming like animals?" You asked as you walked towards the couch.

"Because we're drunk, pretty girl." Ben said chaotically. Joe furrowed at his comment.

"Benjamin, shut up." Gwilym ordered him after noticing Joe's expression.

"We're going to sleep, see you guys tomorrow." Lucy said and you both went upstairs.

"I'm gonna kill you." Joe told Ben and lay on one of the couches.

It was 10 a.m when the guys woke up. They had fallen asleep on the couches and now they were having coffee there. Lucy and you were still sleeping.

"Why did we drink so much?" Rami asked yawning.

"I don't regret it much since Joe said his confession." Gwilym said raising an eyebrow.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Joe wondered confused.

The guys looked at each other and laughed.

"Shh, the girls are sleeping." Joe shushed them and took a sip of coffee. "Can someone tell me what's going on?"

"You are in love with (y/n)___, aren't you?" Gwilym answered. Joe's jaw almost drop.

"Oh my God, what did I say? Did she hear me?" Joe put his hands on his head.

Rami laughed. "You said she has a nice ass and that you are in love with her. And no, she was in the kitchen with Luc."

"How long have you been feeling this way?" Ben asked.

Joe explained he has been in love with you for a long time now. He mentioned that the day of your audition he almost kissed you if it wasn't for Aaron's call, his nightmare and how the tension between the two of you had been growing for the past weeks.

"You have to do something or you're gonna lose her." Gwil advised him.

"I'm afraid. I'm not sure if she's flirting with me because she's interested in me or if she's bored." He took a deep breath.

"Joe, she really cares about you and I don't think she is playing with you. She's trying to tell you something." Gwilym said. "You have to be brave and tell her about your feelings or you'll end up sick in love. You're gonna feel it, your heart will break into million pieces and it will hurt so much it will be unendurable. I know that feeling." He sighed.

His words may be sort of poetic, but he was right. Sometimes, when we keep things for ourselves, our body takes everything and we feel even worse.

"I will think about it. Thank you so much guys, you are the best." Joe hugged them happily. He knew he could count on them whenever he needed.
