"Joe! Move your laundry!" Caspar yelled as he came into the room, waking us both up.

"Caspar, get out!" Joe yelled, throwing his pillow at Caspar.

We fell asleep last night naked, and during the night the blanket was kicked to the bottom of the bed.

Joe grabbed the blanket and threw it over me and grabbed his underwear from the side of the bed before slipping them off and chasing after Caspar.

"Learn to knock!" Joe yelled, trying not to laugh.

"Learn to clean up after yourself!" Caspar laughed, "Ow! Get off me!"

"Joe!" Oli laughed as he saw the underwear on the light fixture.

Joe pushed them out of his room and closed the door.

"I need to get a lock on this door," Joe huffed, "Sorry."

"It's okay," I laughed.

I got up and put on my underwears and Joe gave me a pair of his sweats and a shirt to wear. Both were too big, but it covered me.

I followed Joe upstairs and he took his laundry from the machine.

"Sorry Minxie!" Caspar apologized, "Joe, to you, I'm not sorry."

"It's alright," I laughed, a bit embarassed that he saw me nude.

"P.iss off," Joe laughed, "And you too Oli!"

"What the hell did I do?"

"Came in my room."

Joe wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Want a drink?" He asked me.

"Water, please," I said, my voice raspy and a bit sore from last night.

"Haha, okay," Joe said, laughing quietly, because he knew why my voice was like that.

I drank the water and settled on the sofa with Joe.

"Come here," Joe muttered as he pulled me on his lap, giving my bum a small squeeze in the process.

"Did you have fun last night?" My mum asked.

"Yeah, we went to a club and danced and drank," I smiled.

"Fun," My mum smiled.

I decided to leave out the part that Rory has become more of a desperate creep, resulting in Joe and I leaving early, going back to his flat and sleeping together.

"How's Joe?"

"He's good," I nodded.

"Well, how is your relationship?"

"Great," I smiled.

"Have you guys had s-" My mum questioned.

"What's with all of these questions?" I laughed, trying to avoid her last question.

"You've just been hanging out with Joe so much recently, that I haven't seen much of you and we don't talk as much," My mum shrugged.

"Mum, I'm sorry," I said giving her a hug.

"No, it's okay. So just the time I get with you now, I ask questions to know what's going on in your life and to have conversation," My mum smiled, "So, I should know, have you two slept together?"

"We've used proper protection, don't worry," I laughed nervously.

"That's all I wanted to know. Just making sure you two were being safe. I don't want any grandchildren yet!"

"Oh my God!" I laughed, shaking my head.

"Just take the time to check the condoms, making sure they haven't been broken. We can always get you on the pill too, if you want," My mum explained.

"Mum, we'll be fine, I promise," I smiled.

"Who will be fine?" James asked as he came in the kitchen, joining my mum and I.

"Minx and Joe. She promised me they were having safe sex."

"I'm going upstairs," I said quickly, leaving the kitchen.

"Well, that's good," I heard James say as I rushed upstairs.

My mum is so nosey, and when it comes to close family and friends, she can't keep her mouth shut.

My phone vibrated as I got a text from Joe.

"Your birthday is in a week, right?"

"Yeah. I'm going to be 20!" I replied with the crying face emoji.

"Join the club!"

I saw Joe not even six hours ago and I already miss him. I am becoming too attached and clingy, or am I just falling for him?

"Minx, how would you like to go away for your birthday next week? It was James' suggestion," My mum asked as she popped her head in my room.

"Um, sure," I smiled, "But I don't know where."

"Okay, well I'll talk to James," My mum smiled before leaving the room.

The only reason I wouldn't want to go away for my birthday is because I would want to be with Joe.

I laid on my bed for awhile before wandering back downstairs. My mum and James were getting ready to go out for dinner with Richard and his wife, Rory's mum and dad.

"Minx, you can come if you'd like. I know you're friendly with Rory and he'll be there," James suggested.

"No, but thanks for the offer," I sincerely smiled.

"Ok, maybe next time, love," James nodded as my mum playfully slapped his bum as they left.

I decided to get in the jacuzzi for a bit to relax. It was getting to dusk, so I put on my swimsuit, got my phone, and made my way to the bubbling jacuzzi.

"Hello?" I answered my ringing phone as I got in the spa.

"Minxie!" Joe sang into the phone, "What's up?"

"I'm just getting in the jacuzzi, wanna join?"

"Fun, and maybe. I was just calling to see how you were doing because I just saw your parents' go into a 'posh' restaurant with Rory and some others," Joe explained.

"Oh, yeah. I stayed at home. You should come over and keep me company," I teased into the phone.

"Okay, I'll be around soon," Joe agreed before hanging up.

I got out and waited for Joe to show up to get in.

As he finally got here, we got in the jacuzzi and relaxed.

"You're so beautiful," Joe said quietly as he pulled me on his lap, still facing him.

I smiled and gave him a small kiss, lingering my hands on his chest and abdomen. D.amn, his abs.

"Can I?" Joe asked to take off my bikini top.

I nodded and he untied it, letting it drift away in the jacuzzi. He massaged my chest and gave me small kisses. I gently rested my hand on the crotch of his swim shorts, knowing this was teasing him, but I didn't want to go all the way tonight, and I get the feeling he doesn't want to either, we're just teasing and showing affection.

"F.uck Minx," Joe hissed as I gently palmed him through his shorts.

I kissed him and he put presure on me through my bikini bottoms, making me squirm in delight.

I removed my hand from his shorts and he did the same, instead I rolled my hips against him, both of us protected by our swim bottoms.

Joe made me stop because he didn't want to c.um in the water.

"Let's just talk, I like learning small stuff about you," Joe smiled playfully.

"Okay, what should we talk about?"

We started in deep conversation about animals and any previous pets we've had. That somehow lead to pets we want, which somehow lead to our futures again. Although the future is a scary place, I like talking about it. Picturing what I want to do, if I want to marry, if I just want to travel, kids, friends, family, job, and so much more.

We were still having the same conversation but we got out of the jacuzzi and talked in my room and I got changed into my pajamas and gave him his shirt and sweats from earlier to wear. I have learned a lot about him in just this one conversation and I am starting to like him more and more each day.
