*Backstage*
'Oh wow, you girls are awesome!'
'Thanks.'
Nick slid up beside Carli while the others talked about singing and music they were into. 'Wanna check out the bus later?' he breathed in her ear. Carli took one look into his chocolate brown eyes and did the most predictable (or unpredictable, poor Nick) thing.
She fainted. Of pleasure.
Uh huh that's right. If she had been conscious she would have fainted anyway. Of embarrassment. After the initial shock, she was taken backstage, carried by the one an only Nick Jonas (her saviour) and his strong biceps. When he laid her down on his bed on the bus and checked her breathing, Nick's hair brushed her cheek and she awoke. Then she breathed in the scent that was Nick. And guess what? She fainted again.
A while later, when Kevin was asked to do a job with Kevin Sr and Big Rob, outside said room, Emma and Joe were casually talking (secretly drooling over each others' looks). Suddenly Joe interrupts Emma's explanation long explanation on what subject he could not tell with a click of his fingers. 'I knew I remembered your face from somewhere!' He exclaimed. 'You were on the news!' Emma blushed. 'Well, yeah...' Joe smiled as he remembered the details. 'You defended my little brother. That guy who you chased is such a loser. I'm glad you got him. Pray to God he doesn't meet me, or they'll be some serious payback.' He looked at her. 'Was it your idea?' Emma blushed.
'Yeah.'
To her surprise (not that she was complaining) Joe pulled her into a tight hug.
'Thanks.'
She cracked a smile and looked up at him. He could see the genuine pleasure in her eyes – he liked it.
'No problem.'
MEANWHILE
Carli woke up slowly, having no idea where she was, rolled lazily onto her side. Or at least, she tried to. The moment she moved, she froze. There was something awfully... Muscley.. About her pillow. She opened her eyes, half afraid, and then had to stop herself screaming.
Nick Jonas, THE Nick Jonas was lying next to her, peacefully asleep. He looks so cute... Not to mention extremely hot. She wanted to do so many things, like play with his perfect curls, but she didn't want to disturb him. Reluctantly, she rolled over and tried to stop staring and fall back into her slumber. But there was a movement underneath her head and a gasp escaped her lips.
Nick opened his eyes and Smiled.
AT THE SAME TIME... A little bit later...
Emma was starting to show signs of weariness. Rubbing her eyes and yawning were the big clues for Joe. Emma had already rung her and Carli's mom and told her what happened. Their mom was great, she always understood. She listened and agreed to let them stay for the night, because of Carli's "condition".
'I think we need to get you to sleep... or a hot chocolate.' Joe laughed as she stifled her hundredth yawn for the night. He slung an arm over her and helped her walk down the hall, passing (actually bumping into and almost flooring) Kevin. Eventually they stopped outside a "door". I say "door" because there aren't really doors on buses, are there? Anyway...
'This is your room! Why are we at your room?' Emma asked. Joe looked surprised. 'Well, why wouldn't we be?' he asked. 'Because... Uhmmm...' Emma couldn't think of a reason so just stood there uhmmmm-ing and looking like an idiot. After a minute of this, Joe laughed and ushered her inside. He disappeared and came back after a while with 2 hot chocolates and... Well, Emma fell off the bed laughing. Joe looked confused. 'What?' Emma gasped for breath between her laughs. 'Joe, you have a... ahahaha! You have a MOUSTACHE!' Joe wiped his mouth a felt a foamy substance come onto his hand. A hot chocolate foam moustache! Joe was glad Emma had left her camera on the table.
But she had her phone.
