Chapter 5
Nick's POV
Kevin slid the keycard into the slot and the red light turned green. He opened the door and I grabbed my bag and followed him inside, "Hey," he called from somewhere up ahead, "Was Demi ok?" He sounded really worried, Kevin really cared about Demi, she was like a little sister/daughter to him even though he was only 5 years older.
"Yeah," I said and looked around the room, "Just a bit spooked is all." I looked at Kevin again, who seemed to be getting more worried by the second, "Maybe I should go and see if-" I cut him off, "Joe's taking care of her Kev, and besides, we have her room key, right? So she'll have to come see us before she goes to bed anyway." Kevin seemed to be reassured, so I wandered round, assessing the room. TV, cooker, microwave, kitchen counter, two-seater couch. I wandered towards the bedroom and dumped my bags on one of the beds. I was half-way out the door when something occurred to me, I turned around slowly and realised that, yup, I was right, two beds...t.w.o...
I walked out to where Kevin was checking that the microwave was working, "Hey, Kev," I called, he turned to look at me. "There are only two beds! Go and claim the other one before Joe arrives and kicks up a fuss!" Kevin's eyes glinted and he hurried towards the bedroom. He walked out after having deposited his bags on the other bed.
"So, Joe's gonna sleep on the couch then?" He asked. We both turned to look at the two-seater and laughed. "Are you kidding, Kev," I asked, "even Demi, tiny person though she is, would be too tall for that couch!"
Kevin laughed, then seemed to think of something, "You know what," he said, "We'll put Joe in with Demi, we shouldn't really leave her alone anyway, but especially after she's just been practically attacked by the stupid paparazzi!"
I thought about this. I wasn't so sure it was a good idea to let those two stay in the same room. You could have cut that sexual tension in the car with a knife. And Joe's been checking Demi out a lot lately...he so wanted her. Her too, that look I caught her giving him, was full on lust. I decided I wouldn't say anything, after all, they were cute together, worst case scenario, they finally realise what everyone has been trying to tell them for years, they're perfect for each other. I thought so too, 'jemi' all the way! I smiled at Kevin in agreement, this should be interesting.
Demi's POV
I caught Joe giving me concerned glances out of the corner of his eye as the elevator began to rise. He saw me looking and quickly snapped his eyes forward, I sighed, "It's ok Joe, I'm not gonna freak out again, I promise." I gave him my brightest smile, but he only frowned back at me, "Demi, you're a 17 year old girl, it's ok to act like it!"
I frowned trying to figure out what he meant, but just then the doors slid open and we stepped out onto the 8th floor. "815 and 820, right?" Joe asked me. I nodded and we stopped outside 815. "Think they're in this one?" I asked and Joe just shrugged so I knocked. A few seconds later, Nick opened the door, a wide smile on his face. "What are you grinning at?" I asked him suspiciously. "Something beautiful," he replied and winked at me. I blushed then giggled and felt Joe come up behind me and grab my hand.
"C'mon Dems," he said, I saw him shoot Nick a nasty look and wondered why, "Let's go check out your room!" He said excitedly. Kevin heard him and shouted over, "It'll be your room too, Joseph." We turned to look at each other in confusion. Nick snorted, "Only two beds," he explained, gesturing towards the bedroom. "I'll sleep on the couch, then," I heard Joe say and turned to look at him. I felt slightly rejected. What was wrong with sleeping in the same room as me? Nick snickered, "Joe, even this midget here," he ruffled my hair affectionately and I took a swing at his arm, "couldn't fit on that couch."
Joe sighed in defeat and turned to look at me, "You tired yet or do you wanna hang here for a bit?" I thought about it, then realised that I didn't want to be alone with Joe until I got my raging hormones under check, so I opted for the second option.
"So.." Nick said a little while later. We had just been watching CSI on TV. Joe, Kevin and Nick had somehow managed to squeeze onto the couch and I was sitting on the armrest nearest to Joe, my head leaning on his with my feet, which he were currently massaging, in his lap, it sounds like an awkward position, but trust me, I was comfortable. We all looked at Nick, waiting for him to continue his sentence,
"So Dems," He turned to look at me and I felt my heart sink, he was up to something, "Tell us all about your JB crush!" My eyes widened and flicked towards Joe until I realised he meant Justin Bieber, not Jonas Brother. I composed myself and giggled nervously, all three brothers were looking at me curiously. "Come on guys," I whined, "You know I just said that to get the interviewer to leave me alone."
Kevin winked at me, "Yeah Demz, we know that you'd never go to the darkside, I'm sorry to say we'd have to disown you if we found out that you were a 'Belieber'" He mock shivered and I just rolled my eyes. "But," Nick protested, he was not going to give me a break tonight, "We also know that your crushing on someone!" Nick raised his eyebrows suggestively and flicked his eyes towards Joe. I gasped, realising that he knew. I thanked God that Joe was still playing with my toes and Nick had his back to Kevin.
Joe looked up at me sharply when I gasped, "So who is it Dem?" He said, a little harshly, I faked ignorance, "Who is what?" Joe rolled his eyes, "Don't play dumb Demi, who ya crushin on?" he said the last part in a high pitched girly voice and nudged me with his elbow. He obviously hadn't realised how precariously I was positioned on the armrest as I flew backwards. I landed on my shoulder on the floor and groaned. I looked up to see all three Jonas boys surrounding me. Joe reached out to lift me up so that I was sitting, "OhmygodDemi," he said in a rush, " I am so so sorry!" I looked at the tears swimming in his eyes and couldn't help but laugh, "Relax Joe, I've had worse." Nick and Kevin had backed off when they heard me laugh, reassured that I was fine, and I was, I was going to have one hell of a bruise on my shoulder in the morning, but like I said, not something I haven't had before.
Joe gazed at me suspiciously, trying to assess how badly I was really hurt before he would let me up. "Oh for God sakes, Joe, I'm fine!" I muttered impatiently, shoving at his shoulder so that he would let me get up. He did, reluctantly. Nick and Kevin had gone into the kitchen and had now remerged.
I saw Nick look at me with a twinkle in his eye, "So Dems," he started off, but I didn't let him finish. I threw my arms up in the air, stretched, ignoring the pain in my shoulder and let out a loud yawn. I saw Joe's eyes go down to my stomach and realised my tank top had ridden up, revealing my flat stomach, toned from so much working out and my belly button piercing. He looked me in the eye and his eyes were dark with desire. I blushed and hurriedly yanked my top down to cover myself. I turned looked back at Kevin, who looked bewildered and Nick, who was still smirking, God I hated that stupid smirk. I ran over and hugged them and said goodnight. Joe waved to his brothers and grabbed our keycard off the counter.
Nick walked us to the door, still smirking. "Now, no funny business, you two," he said, mock-sternly, "I'm not ready to be an uncle just yet!" he winked at me and then he slammed the door in our faces.
