Chapter 7: Boyfriends On Hold
He looked at me in some kind of special way and repeated, "Ask me that, Demi," and he smiled. I wasn't sure if I would be able to pronounce those words he wrote, but yeah, I was curious about the answer and even more curious about the reason why he wanted me to ask him that. I guess it was real, wasn't it? Yeah. So I practically gave up and asked him.
"So... Question five. Do you want to kiss me? Let's just say you told me to ask you, okay?" I replied, so he would know that I wasn't that surprised about the question even though I was.
"Well, you're asking two questions, and I must say yes to both of them." He smiled ear to ear. I was surprised, stoked, speechless, shaking, and every single thing you can imagine right now. He just told me he wants to kiss me. C'mon this is surreal, isn't it?
"What happened Demi? Suddenly you stayed quiet, and you look like you're thinking about something... what's up?" he asked with curiosity.
"Well, Joe you just told me you want to kiss me. What is this? Is this a date? Or where do you want to get with this? I certainly do not understand. I'm confused," I said with a huge question mark on my face.
He just stared at me for like five minutes. I was too impressed but I could talk. "What, Joe? Talk to me. Say something!" He was kind of paralyzed or something. I don't know what happened. His face and eyes were lost, and suddenly he was getting closer to me... and closer... and closer. His face was just a few centimeters from mine. He was looking deeply into my eyes. I could feel his breath, and I could hear his heart beating. He was getting closer every time, and now I couldn't even move. He pushed my head against his head and kissed me on the lips. He was moving his lips, and I started to feel dizzy. I was confused, and I was thinking that I should stop him because it wasn't correct, but my body felt the other way around. I was moving my lips; I was giving the kiss back to him. I could feel the passion in his lips and the way he was moving his head. I started to lose my breath, so I pushed him a little, so we could stop, but he grabbed me and pulled me back to him again. At that point he was into the kiss a lot. All I could think was a way to stop him. I really was running out of breath, so I pushed him again, and this time he did stop. He was running out of breath, too. I just stared at him, and he was doing the same. I was hoping for him to tell me something about what he just did.
"Demi, I am so sorry about this. It's just... I couldn't take it any longer," he said with some guilty on his eyes.
"Any longer?" I asked.
"Yeah. I don't know if this is right, but I couldn't have it hidden anymore. Do you believe in love at first sight?" he asked. I do believe in love at first sight, but I don't believe in fairytales so...
"Well, yeah. But... I don't know. This seems to be too good to be true," I replied and he just put his head down. I paused for several seconds then decided to say something more. "But... that doesn't mean I can't take a pill and believe this story..." I smiled and the happiness went back to his face.
"So that means..." he started.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Well... I have an idea. Why don't we go out for dinner tomorrow?" he said with a smile.
"Oh, yeah. That'd be awesome, but what about this? What happened today..." I asked.
"We'll figure it out tomorrow. I promise. Now it's a little late. Why don't we go back to your house?"
"Okay," I said a little disappointed. I thought he was gonna ask me to be his girlfriend, but he didn't. We got to my house and we were in the living room. My parents and sisters weren't there as usual. We were sitting on the couch and practically just staring at each other. Joe was getting too close to me again, but this time I had the strength to stop him before things became too serious here.
"Wait," I said with a soft voice.
"What?" he asked, exalted.
"Well, I don't think we should kiss here. My parents could come home any second. So..." I explained. Suddenly his cell phone rang.
RING! It's an S.O.S.! Don't want a second chance... Really? His ringtone? Haha!
"Hey mom, what's up?" he answered. I guess it was his mom. "Oh, right now? I am kinda in the middle of something." He looked at me and winked. "Oh, fine. I'll be there in a few minutes then. Yeah, no prob. Love ya too. Bye." He hung up and explained to me why he had to leave. I went to the door and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He left, and I went upstairs. I lied down in my bed and remembered everything that happened today. Everything was a fairytale, and I just couldn't believe it was real. I decided to call Miley to tell her everything.
She picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"
"Hey Miley! How are you?" I answered.
"Oh, hey Demi! I've been better than ever. But, er... Weren't you mad at me because of our sleepover?" she asked.
"Well, yeah. I was, but you wouldn't imagine what happened to me..." I said thinking back about everything with Joe.
"Really? And yeah, you wouldn't know what happened to me either!" she replied.
I was thinking and just said, "Tell me all about it!"
"Are you sure? It's gonna be a LONG convo, dude," she made sure I was okay with listening to her LONG convo about her day. I was.
"Of course! I don't mind! 'Cause mine is really long too, so you'll have to stick with it! Ha!" I answered and smiled to myself.
"Well, okay. I'll tell you the details since you left this morning," my best friend said.
"I was kinda sad because you got mad at me so I decided to call Nick and cancel the sorta 'date' we had, but he didn't pick up, so I took a shower and kept up with my day 'til I got a text from him. It said, 'Hey Miley, I'll pick you up in an hour. DON'T FORGET ABOUT OUR DATE! Love, Nicholas.' So now I couldn't even tell him that I had to cancel. I was about to call you when I heard someone was knocking the door. My mom opened it and screamed 'MILEY! Someone's looking for ya!' Suddenly, everything went down. He was there, and, well, let's just say I wasn't looking like a princess. So I grabbed the first dress and boots I saw and went downstairs. 'Hey Miley,' he said. My mom asked with curiosity as always, 'Miley, who's this lovely boy?' 'His name is Nicholas, he's from my school,' I replied. 'Well, nice to meet you, Nicholas. I'm Tish. Miley's mother.' 'Nice to meet you, Tish,' he answered with a smile. 'So Miley, we better get going,' he said to me. 'Yeah, Mom, I'll be back later, okay?' I said with a smile to my mom. We went to his house, and it was bigger than something big. It looked like a castle, no joke. It certainly did. We got in, and, yeah, he opened the door for me. Such a gentleman! We got into a room with a piano and a lot more musical instruments. 'You can sit here with me, Miles.' He smiled and made this weird move with his hand on the piano bench. We talked and talked and played with the piano for like an hour and a half, 'til he said, 'Do you want to eat something Miles?' 'Oh, yeah, sure.' 'Awesome. Let's go to the kitchen,' he replied. We went to the kitchen, and I don't really know what happened. I was thinking that hopefully we'll eat peanut butter and chocolate sandwiches because they're my favorite. He actually was putting chocolate in his sandwich. He asked me if I wanted some because he said they were his favorite combination. I was shocked. Everybody thinks that's gross! Besides me of course! A little banner appeared in my mind saying SOUL MATES. I know, that was totally rushing things up, but, like, what could I think? 'Yeah, I love chocolate, too, and yes, it's my fave combination, too!' I smiled and he just stared at me like he was looking at some kind of gorgeous painting. I felt like he was admiring every single part of my face and body. We sat at the table and started eating. He couldn't stop staring at me, and well, I couldn't keep my eyes off him either, and we were just smiling, giggling, and stuff. He stood up and sat next to me. He smiled and said, 'You're gorgeous, Miley. I don't know why you don't have a boyfriend.' I was in blank, I mean, Nicholas Jonas just told me that! What the heck?! 'Thank you,' I blushed, 'and I certainly don't know. Boys are stupid, and I have never met someone who's worth it... until now,' I replied. 'You've never... what was the last thing you said?' 'Um, nothing. Forget it,' I said a little nervous. 'No, really, tell me, I promise I won't say anything!' he chuckled and continued in a more serious manner, 'No, like, seriously Miley, tell me.' 'No,' I laughed. 'C'mon!' He hugged me and told me to tell him. He was so warm, and his arms were so toned and, just, amazing! 'Okay,' I said. Before the silence could become longer than a few moments, I ran and told him that if he could find me, I'd tell him. Yeah, it was childish, but I didn't care. I was standing behind a tree and thinking, what if he... I don't know. I was imagining things and started walking. His garden was so huge and full of roses; perfect for a song, I thought. I felt someone behind me, and when I looked back he was there, and he caught me! He pulled me closer and stared into my eyes. He whispered into my ear, 'I won,' and he smiled, beaming from ear to ear. I couldn't help but looking down because, if I look up, I would totally faint there. He grabbed my chin, so I would look up at him. Then he just pulled me even closer and kissed me on the lips. I could feel his lips moving like fire flames; really hot and aggressive. I was feeling the passion, so I couldn't help but return the kiss. I started moving my lips as fast as I could like he was doing so. Then he did something, so I could feel his breath inside my mouth. Oh, it was memorable. He started slowing down and stopped the kiss. He kissed my forehead, and we went back into the house. I was confused, so I followed him to the music studio. He started playing the piano, and I just stared at him. He was so quiet. 'Nick? What was that for?' I asked confused. 'Well, I honestly don't know, Miley,' he replied a little confused, too. I felt he was concerned about something, but I didn't want to ask him. 'So... I'm a little confused. Explain to me please,' I demanded. 'Well, as you already know... I like you... A lot. You're one of a kind... and when I'm with you, I feel totally different in the world. But this is happening so fast... and... I'm afraid to get hurt,' he said, looking down. 'And also... I don't know if you feel the same about me. I honestly hope so... because I had to confess this to you 'cause I was dying inside with this secret.' 'I hope you're as happy as I am right now. You just told me you like me in the most sweetest way someone has ever told me... and about getting hurt. I'm afraid, too, so we can just go slow, get to know each other, but yeah, I do like you too... A lot.' I smiled and looked up at him, then gave him a kiss on the check then we..."
Miley's mom was about to come into her room.
"Gah! My mom is coming! I'll finish telling you later! Bye Dems!" Miley said. Then she hung up. She hung up on me! Well, I guess she had an awesome date, too. We're both kinda confused with these two brothers. Yeah, I wonder if something could happen there. Seriously? Us dating two brothers that just happen to be the... JONAS BROTHERS? Yowza!
