Joe POV

Ever since I had helped Aimee sort out her mum's things the two of us had got closer and closer, the only problem was that what ever I had felt for her in the beginning was just getting stronger by the day.

Keeping this platonic was harder than I had ever thought it would be especially since I knew she felt it too no matter how much she tried to ignore it, everytime she touches me my body goes crazy, I look I her eyes and it takes everything in me not to kiss her and the times I get to hold her I don't ever want to let her go.

"I know you don't want to hear it but I think it's time you backed off" Dean says "you are clinging to something you can't have and that's not good"

"I can't back off she needs me" I say "I'd rather have her as a friend then nothing at all"

"You're my brother and I love you but be realistic" he sighs "I have more chance of shitting rainbows then you do of maintaining a platonic relationship with her"

"Look it's going to stay platonic becuase it can't be anything else" I say "her uncle has banned her from getting involved with the talent"

"Are you serious?" He asks and I nod "do you know what will happen if she breaks that rule and he finds out? I'll tell you what will happen, he will murder you and I will be attending your funeral"

"I already told you she won't break the rule" I say "stop worrying so much"

"Yeah and I'm a monkey's uncle" he says "I've seen the way you two look at each other, mark my words it will happen and this will be one time I won't be able to save your ass"

"You are such a drama queen" I chuckle "three months and nothing has happend, I'm going to go check in on her, you just try and relax"

Aimee POV

I was in the costume department fixing one of Joe's vests that had got ripped during a match, Joe and I had become close friends over the last three months, we spent a lot of time together and when we weren't together we called and text all the time.

I had developed feelings for Joe and it was becoming increasingly difficult not to act on them but I couldn't becuase of Uncle Vince's stupid rule. I wanted Joe in my life so I had to ignore them and just carry on being his friend.

"There she is" Joe says as he walks in the room

"There's who?" I respond

"My favourite wardrobe girl" he says wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close "how are you feeling today?"

"I'm good thank you" I say hugging him back "it's getting easier"

"Good, I'm still going to check on you every day though" he says, I look up at him and he smiles down at me, we stay like that for a moment before he tucks a lose strand of hair behind my ear. He keeps his eyes on mine as he gently rubs his thumb along my cheek and then he leans in slowly and brushes his lips against mine.

"Joe I can't" I breath but I don't move and I don't push him away

"Why are we fighting this babygirl?" He asks "Why can't we just let it happen?"

"You know why" I say trying to move away but he tightens his arms around me.

"Tell me you don't want this" he says "tell me you don't want me, that you don't feel what I feel and I'll back off, but something tells me you're not going to tell me any of those things are you babygirl?" He asks and I shake my head.

"No, I can't" I sigh "but my Uncle, you know the rule"

"Forget the rule babygirl" he says his lips millimeters away from mine "we'll just make sure he doesn't find out"

He presses his lips against mine and I return the kiss willingly, this shouldn't be happening, he's talent, he's forbidden but I just can't resist and I don't want to.

I feel Joe deepen the kiss and that's when it happens, I panic and push away from him.

"I can't do this I'm sorry Joe" I say leaving his embrace "I shouldn't have let that happen, I might not agree with his rule but I can't go against him"

"I know I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed it" he sighs

"Maybe we should take a step back, not be around each other so much" I say and his face falls "I think it's for the best before this goes too far"

"If that's what you want I'll do it" he says looking defeated "but for the record I don't want this at all"

"Neither do I and it's not permanent it's just for now" I say and he nods before leaving the room.

I wait a few moments before leaving the room myself, I decide to go find Stephanie as she is the only one I can talk to, the only one I can trust.

When I reach her office I don't knock I just walk straight in and slump down in the chair opposite her.

"Aimee are you ok?" She asks "what's happened?"

"Steph I need to talk to you about something" I sigh "I don't know what to do"

"I'm listening what's the problem" she says

"Uncle Vince banned me from getting involved romantically with the talent and no I don't know why" I sigh "but there's this guy and I really like him Steph but this stupid rule is in the way"

"First of all I love my dad but in this instance he is so wrong it scares me" she says "he can't tell you who you can and can't be with, your head may be telling you to do as he asks but this is one of those times where you need to listen to you heart instead"

"So what are you saying?" I ask a little confused

"I'm saying if your heart is telling you to be with him then go for it, to hell with the rule" she says

"Thanks Steph" I say "I'll catch up with you later there's something I need to do"

"Go get him honey" she smiles as I leave the room.

Rushing through backstage my only hope is that I can catch him before his match, I reach the locker room and walk straight in. Joe turns to look at me as I stand there catching my breath.

He watches me as I walk straight over to him a look of confusion on his face "Aimee what....." I cut him off taking his face in my hands and crashing my lips onto his, he hesitates for a moment before wrapping his arms around me and kissing me back.

"What about the rule?" he asks breaking the kiss

"I decided to listen to my heart and not my head" I say and he smiles before kissing me once again.

I just had to hope that Uncle Vince doesn't find out becuase I have no idea what he will do to me or Joe if he does.
