Laken's POV
I hated this, what was wrong with me? Why was I freaking out before a date? Guys were nothing to me, and I knew it wasn't just because of his 'celebrity status.' I couldn't decide on an outfit, what happened to my usual tank top and jeans, that wasn't enough. I tried a look, too dressy. In the end, I decided on a curve hugging 'peace' tea, and a jean skirt; this was alright right? I did my makeup, straightened my hair, and must've looked in the mirror at least sixteen times. Then the doorbell rang, and I looked to see Kevin Jonas standing there, practically gleaming. He extended his hand, I placed my palm in it and he 'escorted' me to the car. It was comfortable, and not the fancy kind of car I expected. He drove a Range Rover, a simple yet spacious vehicle.
"So where were you thinking of going?" he asked me. He kept glancing at me, when his eyes should have been on the road.
"You ask me out, set a time and everything, but you have no idea where we're going?" I mused, wondering if I could make him squirm. He didn't seem phased.
"I thought you liked your dignity?" He retorted, rolling his eyes. How come he had an answer to all my shots?
"I thought guys liked to call the shots?" I said.
"I thought girls liked to defer from the classics," he suggested.
"I thought guys liked to stick to the classics," I challenged.
"I think I'm out of comebacks," was apparently all he could muster. I just smiled, content that I had won our little battle.
"Look, I know this is kind of lame, but do you want to go to an arcade so I can whoop your ass at whatever we try?" It was the only thing I could think of, but he seemed to go for it.
"Whatever you'd like, miss high and mighty. But I'd step off your high horse for a second, I'm not easily beaten" he joked, but I glared at him none-the-less.
So after twenty dollars and mutual wins, we called it a tie, but I'm still pretty confident that I beat him, but sparing him the embarrassment you know. I began to pull out my wallet.
"You're out of you're freaking mind if you think I'm letting you pay for that," he grabbed my hand, a stern look on his face. I didn't know what was happening, but my stomach starting doing flips when he touched me. Mesmerized almost, I put away my wallet.
"Okay but next time, I'm paying!" I had to get my say.
"So that means there'll be a next time?" He questioned, winking at me.
"Most definitely, kind sir." I smiled.
Kevin's POV
I think she was flirting with me? It's so hard to tell with a girl like her though, I'm so used to them being a little bit easier to please. I kind of like the back and forth thing though, it keeps it interesting. Most girls would probably change there opinion, just so it matched mine, I hate that! I drove to her house, reluctantly.
I pulled into her driveway, and we both just sat there for a little bit, not talking. I would glance at Laken occasionally, and she'd be biting her lip with a confused look on her face. After the third time I glanced, and she still wore the same expression I was about to question her on it, when she spoke up.
"I had a really, really great time tonight, Kev." She just smiled, radiantly.
"Me too, next time I'll own your ass." I winked at her.
And before I knew what happened, she leaned across the seat and pecked me on the cheek. Then she just ran out of the car blushing, and into her house. All I could do was sigh contentedly, I should probably get back to the concert room before my brothers leave without me. The concert ended at seven, I'd been gone at least three hours, from when I left the venue to the end of our dramatically short date..
Chapter Four
Nick's POV
Rhi had left a couple of hours ago, around ten. She was freaking out though, after she looked at the clock.
"I needed to be home by nine! My mother is going to murder me," there was a tone of panic to her voice. Leo's eyes got wide and she walked over towards Rhi and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Hun, I could come with you if you'd like? Maybe it'd be easier?" Leo asked sympathetically, but Rhi just shook her head.
"She'd think I was making excuses," Rhi made a face that looked helpless, but snapped out of it.
Leo nodded, and gave Rhi a thumbs up sign, then she came over towards me. She sunk down onto the couch next to me, laid her head on my shoulder, and sighed. She looked up at me, and I could see concern in her eyes, that didn't stop the goosebumps forming on my hands though. I cared, I really did but I couldn't control my body!
Just then, Frankie walked in, and spotted Joe in an armchair watching me and Leonie smugly, and he ran over to plop on top of him. Then he looked towards us, snuggled together, and decided he'd impose (thanks a lot, Frank the tank). He came over and sat in Leonie's lap, while her face instantly brightened up.
"Hey Nick, how come your cheeks are all red?" Frankie asked, curiosity painting his face. That just made them redder, while Joe began to laugh hysterically. I glared at him, ready to rip his face off, but keeping my head turned away from Leonie, who lifted her head up off my shoulder like she had forgotten it was there.
"Hey Frank the Tank, come over here," Joe said, his index finger pointing towards himself. Joe started whispering in his ear.
"That's why his cheeks are red? Your cheeks turn red when you like someone?" He questioned, clearly interested. I wanted to kill Joe, and my cheeks were now burning. I pulled away from Leonie a little bit and put myself in a more composed position.
"Sorry, little brothers are such a pain," I mumbled, anger building up inside.
Then her attitude changed, and she hung her head low.
"Um, yeah," she said quietly, "do you maybe have a bathroom?" Her voice was very quiet, and forced. Had my brother's little outburst really made her that uncomfortable? I pointed towards a door in the back of the room, and watched as she got up. I thought I could see a tear or two running down her cheeks, but played it off as a trick of the light, concerned still.
That's when Kevin walked in, smiling.
"Hey guys, I had the best day." he said.
