Chapter 3
Demi's POV
I slid into the car and sat waiting for Nick and Joe to arrive, so that I could gloat about winning the race back to the Hummer. Kevin was already in the car but he was on the phone, once again, to Danielle. I waved my hand in front of his face to get his attention and when he turned to me, I pointed to the phone, and mouthed "Tell her", I pointed to myself and mouthed "I say" and then I waved. Kevin winked at me and smiled, a genuine big brother smile, full of affection, "Demi says hi," he waited a few minutes before relaying Danielle's reply back to me, "Dani says, 'Hi Demi' back and she will text you soon about a girly night, because she wants all the goss on your Justin crush." Kevin grinned goofily and Demi stuck her tongue out at him, "Tell her she should check my twitter more often, and I can't wait for the girl's night."
Kevin told Danielle what Demi had said and Demi turned her attention to Nick who had just opened the car door and climbed in. He sat next to her and then something seemed to cross his mind and he moved to sit beside Kevin with a mischievous glint in his eye. Demi scowled, first Joe, now Nick? "Seriously, do I smell or something," she burst out. Kevin, who had just hung up the phone, looked confused, while Nick just smiled widely. "No Demi" Nick said, holding back a grin, "Now why would you think that?" Kevin glanced at Nick, knowing something was up and before Demi could reply he blurted out, "Where's Joe?"
Nick started laughing, he didn't seem to be able to stop himself and Kevin shot Demi a 'What The Hell' look, which she responded with an 'I'm Just As Confused As You' shrug. When Nick finally managed to compose himself, he told them that Joe would be along soon, he just had something that needed taking care of...urgently.
Nick's POV
After another 10 minutes, Joe finally arrived, looking flushed and a little bit guilty. I smirked at him when he realised that the only free seat I had left him was beside Demi. The first question out of her mouth was, "Where were you, Joe? What took you so long?" And of course, me being the 17 year old guy that I am, I couldn't help but burst out laughing again. I saw Kevin shoot me a worried look out of the corner of his eye, probably wondering if my diabetes was messing with my brain!
"Yeah, Joe, what were you doing?" I managed to choke out, while he glared at me. "Nothing," he muttered while sitting as far as was possible from Demi. He yanked his phone out and focused his attention on that. I was about to retort when my phone buzzed and I look down,
Message from: Joe Has Better Hair Than You - Nick please, don't mess with me right now!
I scowled at the obvious fact that he had been messing with my phone. I sent back a quick reply,
Message to: Joe Has Better Hair Than You - Sorry, Dude, got a bit carried away...not that I blame ya, Demi's HOT :P but she's all yours bro ;) P.S My hair is x100 better! :P
Joe looked up from his phone and shook his head at me, smiling ruefully. I just winked back, then pulled out my iPod, put the buds in my ears and lay back, trying to get some rest.
Joe's POV
I looked up from my phone, smiled at Nick, then shook my head. My little brother had a great sense of humour, though he didn't get much credit for it as most people only saw his 'serious side'.
I glanced down at my phone as it buzzed again, and saw I had a new message. I clicked into it.
New Message From: Demikins :) - Joe, I'm sorry for whatever I did wrong, please, just tell me what it is and I'll fix it :(
I frowned at her, we were sitting less than two feet apart, she could just talk to me like a normal person. But she gestured towards Kevin and Nick and then back towards my phone, ok, she wanted to keep it private, I appreciated that,
Message to: Demikins :) - Dems, you honestly did nothing wrong! :P Why do you think you need to fix something? :)
I heard Demi sigh and the tapping of her Blackberry keys at a ferocious speed,
New Message from: Demikins :) - Because! You went all weird on me out in the hall...and Nick's doing his thing where he knows something he shouldn't and you're practically sitting on the door of the car in your attempt to stay as far the hell away from me as you possibly can! :( Joe, I'm sorry for whatever I did ok? :(
I forced the air out of my lungs as I finished reading and glanced at Demi. She was looking straight ahead, but I could tell she was hurt and pissed off by her body language. I looked back at my phone and sent another text,
Message to: Demikins :) - Demi it's nothing really, lets just forget this...and you're just being Paranoid with Nick, no-one can truely understand what's going on in that head of his :P
I slid closer to Demi as I sent the text, so that my jean-clad thigh brushed against her bare one...man I loved skirts. I felt Demi gasp at my closeness and smirked, so I affected her to huh?
