Chapter Four

Johns show was hilarious as you expected it to be. The dinner was also just as funny. Cracking jokes, telling wild stories and just laughing with each other. Surprisingly the press has not freaked out making wild headlines and what not. I guess John had been thinking along the lines I had.

"Listen," John muttered his voice going low, "I know were both surprised that the press hasn't jumped our asses yet. But they will soon, they always do." He laughed awkwardly. "I don't want you to get hurt by bullshit "fans" who don't approve of our relationship. I care about you, a lot."

I nodded, "I won't get hurt. I'm tough."

"Okay." John sighed. His eyes drifted off from my gaze. I could tell he really was worried about this.

"Listen." I said squeezing his hands, "Everything is going to be okay, okay?"

"Okay." He said again. He managed to meet my eye's and smile. "Dessert?"

-TIME SKIP-

"It was lovely seeing you again." I said as John walked me up to my door.

"Like wise." He said. We stared for a couple seconds before he leaned in and kissed my cheek. His blush could be a color at Sephora it was so bright. "Well. I've got to go." He said smiling widely. I was too.

"Bye!"

-ANOTHER TIME SKIP-

I can't believe that I was singing at the coffee shop. Usually I dreaded the day, but somehow I just felt better with everything. John had kissed my cheek last night. I wanted more, but I wanted to not force anything. I wanted this to be an actual relationship and not just some one night sex thing. But we'd already gone on two dates. I can't wait for the next one. I was smiling at customers and time flew by so fast until my boss informed me it was my break. I walked into the kitchen to tell Katie her break was over. Katie always tried to get an extra ten minutes or so on her break. I do not tolerate that bullshit.

"So." Katie grinned as I walked up too her, her phone glued to her hand. "Is it true?"

My heart dropped. I knew it was coming, we'd talked about it last night but this soon?

"W-What?" I muttered trying to act unfazed.

"You and Mulaney? Dating? Is he nice? I thought he was gay?" She bombarded me with

questions. I shook my head and walked up to my boss and told my him I had a migraine. I had to get outta there, I needed to talk to John. Warn him, but I'm sure he knew well before me. When I got to my apartment, I unlocked the door and collapsed on the couch. I was extremely disappointed at that point that I didn't have a pet. All I could use right now was a cuddle from a cat or dog. Hell even hugging a bearded dragon sounds nice right now! I didn't have a "boyfriend" either because all we'd done is squeeze hands and he kissed me on the cheek. ONCE! (not that I'm complaining) How did the press even find out? Two fucking dates and now I have to deal with this already? I thought better of the world. I took a deep breath and picked up my phone. I quickly dialed up Johns number,

He answered immediately.
