when he got home, Joan was asleep, he sat by the bed and took a look at the pictures in his hands, he smiled looking at them and watched her asleep, he turned back to the picture and went towards his closet and put the pictures in a very safe place.
he came back to her and kissed her forehead and whispered to her ears to wake up but Joan turned to the other side of the bed and didn't open her eyes, he smiled and left to prepare them something, he came back to find her awake
"hey! Nick said
"hey" Joan said
Nick stretched his hand towards her, signaling her to hold it, she did and he pulled her out of bed and walked her towards the dining table, she sat down and they ate something after that the sat down to watch movies.
Joan put her head on his shoulder and watched the movie
"are you ok now" Nick asked
"yeah"
"are you sure"
"yes"
"I'm sorry" Nick said
"for what, it wasn't you fault and besides I'm not mad at the person who posted the picture but the reaction of others was what surprised me, those girls wanted to bully me" Joan said
Nick turned to face her and flicked her forehead
"hey!! it hurts"
"you can talk back at me but you were a mute infront of them, the next time you allow someone to bully you without retaliating I will beat you up, those you can't handle run from there and come tell me, we will deal with them together. remember no girl of mine should be weak, and be bullied" Nick said
"girl of mine?" Joan asked
"yes, you're mine, remember your mom entrusted you to me, if something happens to you, your mom will kill me and my mom will burry me" Nick explained
"that's what you meant" Joan said
"I promise I won't allow such thing to happen" Joan added and Nick patted her head and they watched the movie laughing, a moment later Nick said to Joan
"Joan, I made the guy who posted your pic delete it, I'm sorry if I didn't talk to you about it, I mean maybe you wanted this popularity"
"don't worry I don't think this popularity thing is for me and besides one of us being famous it's enough and being with you makes me famous too" Joan said and they laughed.
they watched the movies, Nick placed his head on her lap and slept off, she looked at him and smiled, she kissed his forehead and whispered good night. she lowered the movie and continued watching
