As I awoke the next morning, I had come to find that my pillow was missing, meaning my Jason. I was just about to open my eyes, when I heard a loud clang come from downstairs. I bolted from the bed and flew to the top of the stairs. I stood there for a few seconds to try and listen to what was going on in my kitchen.

"Shane!! You're gonna wake them up!" I heard Nate whisper-yell. "Well, I haven't heard any stirring yet, so I think we're still in the clear. Now, let's get these upstairs before they wake up." Jason added. Shoot. They're on their way up here now. As quietly as I could, I ran back to my bed and tried to feign sleep as best as I could. I had only been back in the bed for mere seconds before Jason came in. I tried to make it look like I had not slept comfortably since he left, which was kinda true. I noticed, even while fully asleep, that he was no longer with me. It was like the bed became uncomfortable once he left. I felt the bed shift from his added weight. I turned towards him, with my eyes closed.

"I know you're awake." He said quietly. I opened one of my eyes and groaned. "How'd you know?" I asked. "You're the worst fake sleeper ever." "Well, I had just woken up, for your information." I yawned. "Well, I hope you're hungry." he said, as he walked over to the dresser where he picked the tray table back up and brought it over to the bed.

"Pancakes with sliced banana, caramel sauce and whipped cream." He announced as he placed it down. "My favorite! How'd you know?" I asked. He tapped his nose.

"I'll never tell." He said. Ugh, time to pull out the big guns... "Not the puppy eyes! No! No! Fine... It was written on the fridge." Oh yeah... Silly me. "I also made a Starbucks run and got you a Carmel Macchiato."

He pointed to the lovely white and green cup, steaming beside my pancakes. I grabbed my fork and knife that was laying on the tray and cut a bite and put it in my mouth. I quickly grabbed the Macchiato and took a sip. Mmmmmmmm... D to the E to the L-I-C-I-O-U-S. I cut another bite and stuck it in Jason's mouth. "You have to try this." After I pulled the fork from his mouth, I saw his eyes get big. "Good, right?" "God, that's delicious!" he exclaimed after he swallowed. "Good thing there is enough here for two."

After feeding each other my yummy breakfast, Jason took the tray back to the kitchen while I got a shower. As the hot water started beating on my back, which felt really good I might add, I heard the door to my bathroom slam open.

"TRISHA BEAR! WE WANT DETAILS ABOUT LAST NIGHT!" Jordie yelled. "AND ACTUAL DETAILS! NOT JUST 'WE HAD DINNER!'" I stuck my head out from behind the shower curtain,"Shhhhhh, they'll hear you... now GET OUT! I'M NAKED IN HERE!" I yelled. Jordie and Hayley just stood there. "And I swear I won't say a word about last night until you two GET OUT NOW!!!!!" They turned on their heels and left me alone or so I thought. "WE'RE WAITING OUT HERE UNTIL YOU'RE DONE!" Jordie warned. "And I'll be telling Shane and Nate about what happened that night." "We'll leave you alone." Hayley said, after what sounded like she had effectively silenced Jordie and got her out of my room. Finally, I thought that they would never leave. I let the hot water run down as my thoughts from the last two days had ran though my mind. I met my celebrity crush, had my celebrity crush in my house and bed, KISSED my celebrity crush, and now, am going OUT with my favorite crush. I let out an involuntary squeal, and then there as a knock on my door.

"YOU'D BETTER NOT BE DOING WHAT I THINK YOU'RE DOING!" Jordie yelled through the door. I chose to ignore her. Let her think, it'd do her some good. I then heard Hayley, "Jordie!! Get out of there or we're never gonna find out what happened!!!" "Okay, fine." The sound of stomping and retreating foot steps then sounded from my room. "If I have to move out of there, then you do too, Hayles!" Jordie exclaimed. I heard Hayley groan and retreat. "Guys, leave her alone." I hear. "What happens if I don't wanna?" Jordie retorted. "Then, I'LL make sure you don't find out what happened." he replied. "Now, go pester the guys." Hayley grabbed Jordie's hand and smiled. "Let's go!" Hayley insisted. I heard their steps going down stairs. Once again, finally. "Hey, they really gone this time." I hear though the door. "Jase?" "Yeah, your personal knight in shining armor saving you from your crazy friends. Don't worry. Door's closed and I'm not going though anything." "Thanks, Jase. You're the best. Now, I'll be out in just a few minutes, 'kay?"

About ten minutes later, I walk out of my bathroom, ready for the day. My hair put up in a low side ponytail, white and pink layered camis with a navy jacket over them, khaki Bermuda shorts and hot pink low rise converse. Jason was sitting on my bed, texting on his phone. I knocked on the bathroom door to announce my presence. When he looked up, I spun in a slow circle. "So, what do you think?" He looked me over and grinned.

"You look even more delicious than last night's cheesecake" he said as he got up from the bed. He walked over to me, wrapped his arms around my waist and gave me a kiss. "Taste better too." "You do too."

We went to go downstairs but Jason stopped me before I could reach the first step and pulled me to him. "Are you sure we're not going to fast?" "Come on. There's something I want to play for you." I said as I pulled him toward the basement. Once we made it back to the couch we had occupied yesterday, I grabbed my acoustic guitar and sat beside him. "Okay, while we were waiting on you guys, I got an idea for a song about us. I want you to hear what I have so far because it's how I felt when we first met." I played a couple of chords and started to sing.

How did I get here

I turned around

And there you were

I didn't think twice

Or rationalize

'Cuz somehow I knew ...

That there was more than just chemistry

I mean I knew you were kind of into me

But I figured it's

Too good to be true

I said pinch me where's the catch this time

Can't find a single cloud in the sky

Help me before I get used to this guy

They say that good things take time

But really great things happen in the blink of an eye

Thought the chances to meet somebody like you

Were a million to one

I can't believe it

You're one in a million

All this time I was looking for love

Trying to make things work

They weren't good enough

Till I thought I'm through

Said I'm done

Then stumbled into the arms on the one

You're making me laugh

About the silliest stuff

Say that I'm your diamond in the rough

When I'm mad at you, you come with your velvet touch

Can't believe that I'm so lucky

I have never felt so happy

Every time I see that sparkle in your eyes

They say that good things take time

But really great things happen in the blink of an eye

Thought the chances to meet somebody like you

Were a million to one

I can't believe it

You're one in a million

Yeah Yeah

All this time I was looking for love

Trying to make things work

They weren't good enough

Till I thought I'm through

Said I'm done

Then stumbled into the arms on the one

I said pinch me, Where's the catch this time

Can't find a single cloud in the sky

Help me before I get used to this guy

They say that good things take time

But really great things happen in the blink of an eye

Thought the chances to meet somebody like you

Were a million to one

I can't believe it

Whoa Yeah Yeah

They say that good things take time

But really great things happen in the blink of an eye

Thought the chances to meet somebody like you

Were a million to one

I can't believe it

You're one in a million

Yeah

You're one in a million

Yeah

You're one in a million

I played my heart out to him. That song was exactly how I felt about him and us. "So.... What do you think? Is it good?" I looked at him with hopeful eyes. He shook his head and my heart sank. He took the guitar from me and sat it on the stand beside the sofa. He wrapped his strong arms around me and pulled me close so that there was almost no space between us. He tilted his head so our foreheads were touching. "No, it wasn't good. That was wonderful and it's perfect. I love it." With that, he pressed his lips to mine. It was gentle but passionate at the same time, but after a few moments, it grew more urgent. We finally broke it when breathing became necessary.

"I think that I should play for you more often." I said. He looked at me, slightly confused. "If I get a reaction like that out of you..." Before I had a chance to finish my sentence, his lips were on mine again.

"TRISHA BEAR?!?! WHERE ARE YOU????" we hear Jordie call from the top of the stairs. Why is it she always knows exactly when to interrupt us? "We'll be up in a minute, Jord." I called. We heard the door shut. "One more?" he asked. "Yup." Right before our lips touched, we were hindered once more by Shane, Jordie, Nate, and Hayley bounding down the stairs. "We have got to find a better place to try to be alone." Jason whispered in my ear. I shook my head in agreement.

"We can always go to Canada... Montreal's kinda cool." I suggested. He groaned. "But then I'd have to learn French!" He exclaimed. "Learn French, learn French or DIE!" He fell back on the couch with his hand on his head which caused me to laugh.

"Who just insulted my first language?" Jordie asked, as she rounded the corner just behind Shane. I pointed to Jason and he replied, "Traitor." Shane noticed that Jordie was about to attack his older brother, so he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her to him. "And since when have you been such a drama queen?" He added. "Yeah, that's Shane's job." Nate added. "Oh, what was that line from your first movie? Oh, yeah!" Nate changed his voice trying to sound like Shane, "I don't wanna waste my summer at some camp! I'm Joe Jonas, for crying out loud." This caused everyone excluding Shane to burst into laughter.

"Awe, pookie! We're just playing around with you!" Jordie cooed. I laughed at the nickname. Pookie? Come on! I know that she can be a BIT more original than that! "What's so funny, Trisha Bear?" Jordie glared at me. I laughed even more. "You came up with a unique nickname for me but 'Pookie', the most generic nickname, is what you come up with for your boyfriend?" I asked. "He's not my boyfriend!" Jordie exclaimed, and Shane's face immediately dropped. Jordie noticed this and automatically locked her arms around him. "It's not like I don't want to be! He just hasn't asked me yet! I'm a traditional girl! I like it when the guy asks the girl, not visa verse!" Jordie? Traditional? HAH! Jordie is anything but traditional. I guess she just hides it well. "Well..." Jordie trailed off as she stared at Shane.

"I... uh... Oh Jesus... uh..." Shane rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Uhm, can we have a moment alone?" He asked. Jason and I shook our heads. "Nope!" We said. "Why not?" Shane whined. "Yeah, why not?" Jordie echoed.

"You didn't leave US alone!" I said. "So, we'll just return the favor." I sat down on the couch Indian style and crossed my arms. Jason joined me on the couch.

"I'll go pop the popcorn!" Nate said as he grabbed Hayley and ran upstairs to the kitchen. Ooh! Popcorn makes every embarrassing moment better. "DON'T FORGET TO BRING SOME SODA!" I yelled. Shane and Jordie stood looking at each other. "Jordie, I..."

"DON'T START WITHOUT US!" Hayley yelled down the stairs. "THERE'S STILL 45 SECONDS UNTIL THE POPCORN'S DONE!" Both Jordie and Shane groaned loudly. I almost felt bad for them. Almost. "WE'RE COMING! WE'RE COMING! DON'T SAY ANYTHING UNTIL WE'RE DOWN!" Nate yelled as he and Hayley ran down the stairs with a bowl of popcorn, a bottle of coke and a few plastic glasses. It was a miracle that they didn't drop anything.

After the drinks were poured and the popcorn was on the table, we all sat down on the couch and stared at Shane and Jordie, who were really looking uncomfortable. "You guys can start whenever you want!" I exclaimed as I shoved a handful of popcorn into my mouth.

"Uhm... Can you guys maybe... turn around?" Shane asked. We all shook our heads, making him groan. "FINE! So, Jordie. I really really really really really really really really like you. Like, really." Jordie giggled. "You're so different from anyone else in the world. You're not afraid to be yourself, and you're also very bad at hiding the fact that you're flirting. You're absolutely gorgeous, flawless, and I really like that about you. Anyways... what I really want to know is... wouldyoubemygirlfriend?" Shane asked. Jordie raised her eyebrow.

"Bless you?" She asked. I almost laughed. Shane took a deep breath and exhaled. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked slowly. I looked to my sides and saw that Nate, Hayley and Jason were on the edges of their seats, completely frozen.

"Yes." Jordie whispered. "Yes yes yes yes YES!" She exclaimed as she wrapped her arms tightly around Shane's neck. "Seal it with a kiss?" He asked. Jordie grabbed the back of his head and brought it down to her level. "Yes." Jordie said, her voice barely louder than a breath. Their lips connected, and I felt like I was intruding on the scene...but only a little. It was kinda like watching a romantic movie. Hayley and I awed when they kissed and Jason and Nate cheered their brother on. Shane and Jordie pulled apart and just stared at each other and after a few moments, they looked like they had just remembered that they had an audience. Jordie turned to face us. "You happy now?" Jordie asked me, a little irritation in her voice. I got up and walked over to her and pulled her into a hug. "I'm happy that my best friend finally found the right guy for her." I whispered in her ear. She pulled away and smiled.

"Sir Roarsalot finally hooked up with Sparkles?" She asked jokingly. "Don't ever mention Sir Roarsalot again." I warned.

"Who is Sir Roarsalot?" Jason asked. I groaned, and Jordie grinned evilly. "Sir Roarsalot is Trisha's stuffed lion. She's had him since she was 5. Sparkles is my stuffed lamb. My gramma gave her to me when I was a baby. They've had a thing for each other since they met... Hey! They're kinda like all of us!" She exclaimed.

"Did you just compare us to a stuffed lion and lamb?" Shane asked. Jordie nodded. "A-Yup! Seems like one lion can't act upon his feelings, though." She commented as she looked at Nate, who was on one end of the couch, while Hayles was on the other end. They would glance at each other, and then quickly turn away. "I SAID one lion can't act upon his FEELINGS." Jordie said loudly. This caused Nate and Hayley to blush furiously.

"Maybe the lion's afraid of being rejected by the most perfect lamb to ever exist, and is beating himself up on the inside for not having the guts to ask the lamb out?" Nate suggested. "And what if the lamb feels like she's not good enough for the lion?" Hayley asked.

"What a stupid lamb." Jordie whispered. "What a sick, masochistic lion." I added quietly, quoting our favorite book. We giggled, receiving weird looks from the rest of the group. "Twilight... don't ask." I said between giggles.

"Oh, you mean the movie where Robert Pattinson plays that super sexy vampire?" Shane asked excitedly. "That's what's Troy Bolton said in an interview the other day for his new movie!!" Jordie added. Joe blushed and looked down at his feet. "I thought that I was the only one who watched that." He said. Jordie kissed his cheek and smiled. "You're so cute when you're caught trying to say something that you stole off of another teen heartthrob." Shane was blushing for another reason now. We were all laughing at the sight before us. They went from awkward to totally comfortable right in front of our eyes.

"Guys, I hate to be the party pooper, we all have to go or we're going to be late." Nate announced. "Late for what?" I asked, very confused. "Guys, can you leave us alone for a few minutes?" Jason asked, looking a little panicked. The rest of our group went upstairs, leaving us alone. "Jason, what is going on?" He took my hand and lead me to the couch. "You remember last night when I said that Uncle Brown approved of you?" I racked my brain. "Yeah?" "Well, he is making us do a press conference to explain the photos from yesterday and if we want to, we can go public with our relationship." "Might as well." I responded. "Really?" I scoffed. "Jason, we told a fan last night that we were going out. I know, she said that she would keep it a secret but it will come out. Knowing most teenage girls, she'll have told her friends that she met you, and they'll pressure her to tell them everything and it will slip. Then, it will spread like wild fire. Why not nip it in the bud now and confirm it? So, we don't have to hide. Besides that, I kinda suck at it." I spit out my little soliloquy. Jason laughed. "So, I'll take that as a yes, you want to go public?" I shook my head, "Yes" and leaned in and kissed him.

"JASE!" Nate yelled down the stairs, "WE'RE GONNA BE LATE! SO STOP MAKING OUT WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND GET YOUR SKINNY JEAN CLAD ARSE UP THESE STAIRS!" Never, in a million years, did I think I would hear Nate talk like that. We reluctantly got off the couch and started up the stairs, as slowly as possible.
