Edited 8/18/09: Well, once again I had forgotten about this story until I got another review! You have no idea how good it makes me feel when you guys review a story I wrote when I was 13. There were so many errors and random sentences that I could have thrown up. You guys are real troopers for reading this mess! Anyway, here is another edited chapter. There may be a few minor changes, but that's basically it. In this chapter I used the word nodded a lot. Haha. So please, read and enjoy! Oh, and review. It's always appreciated! Also I don't know the next time I will edit it, so I hope you don't mind. =]
We were back in the basement playing video games. To be precise it was actually Kevin and Joe who were playing video games. Nick and I were sitting on one of the leather couches watching them. I still couldn't believe that I was at the Jonas Brother's house, much less the fact that I was sitting next to Nick Jonas. I had never sat next a good looking boy before, and was nervous. If I moved just an inch I would touch him. My heart was pounding and my palms were becoming clammy and starting to sweat. Suddenly, Nick moved and his arm grazed mine. I froze, my breath hitching, and stiffened. I kept my eyes latched on the TV screen, but all my attention was focused on the curly headed boy sitting next to me.
After a while, I managed to get relaxed and started to get bored. I had never really liked video games, especially since I was horrible at them, but I was too nervous to speak up. Ever since everything had sunk in, that I was at the Jonas Brother's house and I was staying the night, I had become silent. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Nick glance at me, and paused when he noticed my facial expression.
"You bored?" He asked, sounding concerned. I glanced at him and shrugged.
"Kind of, I just don't want to ruin their fun." I replied, facing him. He broke out into a mischievous grin.
"We don't have to bring them with us. Come on." He stood up and held out his hand. I hesitated, staring at it for a second as if I had never seen a hand before. As I brought up my hand to grab his, I tried to subtly wipe it on my jeans.
"Where are we going?" I asked as he pulled me up from the couch and began to lead me up the stairs.
"You'll see." He replied as we walked down the hallway that was filled with pictures of him and his brothers smiling back at us. He led me to the door at the end and opened it. I could tell it was his room. It was not really messy and his favorite guitar lay on his bed. He let go of my hand and sat down on his swiveling desk chair while I paused at the doorway with wide eyes. I surveyed the room with curiosity and caution for I had never been into a guy's room before. Well, I had been in my friend's older brother's room, but that didn't really count.
Nick pushed himself around a few times, but when he noticed that I wasn't making any move to come in stopped.
"Come on in. It's not as messy as Joe or Kevin's rooms." He said with a laugh. I joined in; my laugh a little bit forced and too high pitched for my liking, and took a few steps in.
"So why'd you bring me up here." I asked as I slowly made my way over to the bed and sat down on the edge, careful not to touch his guitar.
"Well, I thought we could play truth or dare. That way we could learn about each other more, and still have fun." I laughed, thinking it would be more like twenty questions since I wasn't one to usually do a dare.
"Okay, but I'll probably pick truth the whole time." He laughed at my comment and sat down next to me. I scooted away from him, but not far enough away that he would notice.
"We'll just see about that. Anyway, I'll go first. Truth or dare?" I didn't answer at first. If I chose truth I would have to answer any question he asked, and if I chose dare I would have to do anything he told me to do. I decided to stick with truth, thinking it was the safer option.
"Truth," I replied watching him uncertainly. He smirked and I felt dread spread throughout my whole body, making me fidget.
"I was hoping you would say that. Which one of us is the hottest?" I blushed, feeling my cheeks and ears turning hot, and looked down.
"Do I have to answer?" I asked quietly and looked up to see Nick nodding his head, his curls bouncing, I stared at him, but finally gave in with a sight. "Fine… You," I mumbled. It was obvious he had heard for he looked very pleased.
"I like your answer." Even though I was still highly humiliated I managed to roll my eyes then cleared my throat.
"Truth or dare?" I asked grinning; it was payback for that question.
"Dare." He puffed up his chest, and trying to make himself look tough and unafraid, which was exactly what I was hoping for.
"You have to run outside and shout 'Hey everyone, I'm Nick Jonas!'" I blurted out, then immediately regretted it as I watched his smile fade
"Seriously?" He asked, and for some reason I nodded.
Nick sighed and stood up, together we walked down the stairs. As we reached the front door he slowed down and stalled, pretending to struggle with putting his shoes on. I tapped my foot impatiently and pulled him away from the shoes and outside. Once we got onto the lawn I glanced around to see if anyone was outside while Nick bent over to pick something up, yet I was to preoccupied to notice.
"Ready?" I looked at Nick, wondering if I should take it back, but he squared his shoulders and nodded.
"Okay, here it goes." He spun around, and I was suddenly hit with water. I screamed and tried to dodge away from the stream.
"I thought you were going to do my dare!?" I shouted instead of replying he sprayed me again.
By now I was soaking wet. Figuring I really had nothing to lose I, I stopped my efforts of dodging and ran toward Nick. He only stood and stared at me in shock letting me tackle him easily. Nick let go as he fell to the ground and the hose began to whip around spraying both of us. Acting quickly, I jumped up and grabbed the hose and started spraying Nick as he laid helplessly on the ground. Nick held up his hands to block some of the water, and then began to wave them around.
"Truce! I call a truce!" He shouted and I turned off the hose with a smirk. Now we were both soaking wet. I glanced down and was glad that it was dark outside, for I was wearing a white t-shirt.
I walked over and helped Nick up, and we both trudged back inside the house. My backpack was leaning against the wall next to the front door, so I quickly grabbed my sweatshirt out of it and put it on before Nick could see my polka dot bra.
"We should go change." Nick said already climbing the stairs.
"Um…I don't have anything to change into." I replied shifting nervously from one foot the other.
"Oh, that's right. This was kind of last second thing. You can borrow some of my clothes." I laughed and shook my head. He raised a confused eyebrow.
"First, I'm a girl. And second, I don't think I'm going to fit into any of your clothes." Nick ran a hand through his curly brown hair and bit his lower lip, thinking.
"You could just wear one of my shirts." He suggested looking down at his shirt and looking back at me.
"You mean, as a dress?" Uncertainty tainted my voice, but he nodded anyway.
My eyes widened, but I knew it was the only option. I pulled a strand of hair around my finger as I followed him upstairs and watched as he went straight to his closet and began to rummage around. He pulled out a light pink v-neck shirt.
"I thought you would like it since its pink." I bit my lip to keep from smiling, thinking about how thoughtful he was, and shrugged. Personally, I hated pink, but I wasn't about to tell him that. He handed me the shirt and backed out of his room, closing the door behind him.
I striped out of my soaking clothes, but paused before putting on the shirt. I was standing in Nick Jonas's room naked. I shivered and slipped into his shirt then looked at myself in Nick's mirror. It went down to my knees so I didn't have to worry about mooning one of them, but it was very baggy and gave my body no shape. I knock on the door startled me out my inspection.
"Did you put it on yet?" Nick asked from the other side of the door.
"Yeah.," I replied, glancing back down at my attire. Nick opened the door and stepped in as I turned to face him.
"Do you have a string or a ribbon that I could use? I don't want to feel like I'm walking around wearing just a shirt." Nick nodded and disappeared. He came back a few minutes later holding a black silk belt which I guessed it was his mom's. I gratefully took it and tied it around my hips. I smoothed out the shirt and, after glancing in the mirror, confirmed that I looked much better now.
"So what do you want to do now?" Feeling more comfortable, I settled myself onto his bed.
"We could watch a movie?" He suggested which I immediately agreed with. We headed back downstairs where we found Joe and Kevin sprawled on the couches watching TV. Joe looked up and his eyes widened.
"What have you guys been doing?" He asked, sending a smirk Nick's way, I ducked my head so they wouldn't see me blush.
"We were outside, and she got wet and didn't have any clothes to change into, so I let her borrow my shirt." Nick hurriedly explained. Joe still didn't look like he believed him, but Nick soon changed the subject. "Do you guys want to watch a movie?"
"I'm up for it. What movie?" Kevin asked and then walked over to a wardrobe and opened it. It was filled with DVD's and CD's. I walked over and scanned the collection before taking out Chuck and Larry. I showed it to the guys who all agreed. Kevin popped it into the DVD player while Joe went upstairs and made popcorn. I sat myself down in the middle of one of the couches. Nick came and made himself comfortable on my right, and Joe came, popcorn bowl in hand, and sat down on my left. Kevin went over to the other couch and sprawled himself across it. He even had is own bowl of popcorn so he didn't have to walk all the way over to the other couch to get some.
The movie started and I turned all her attention on it and forgot that I was watching it with rock stars. During the middle of the I yawned and leaned against Nick's shoulder, I felt him tense up for a second then relax, but didn't think much about it because I was too tired. I fought against sleep for a little while, but finally succumbed to it.
--
I was the first one to wake up in the morning. That always happened. Even if I was the last one to fall asleep, I always woke up first. I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the couch. Well, my butt and legs were lying on the couch. My torso and my head were on Nick. He was curled up at the end of the couch and I was practically on top of him. I would have moved except that Joe was kind of laying on me. I jealously eyed Kevin who was still sprawled out on the couch peacefully.I knew I couldn't stay in that position forever. I had to pee like nobody's business and I wasn't comfortable with the situation anyways. I began to sit up, and in the process woke up Joe who also sat up. He rubbed at his eyes groggily.
"What time is it?" He asked and I shrugged putting my index finger to my lips to let him know to be quiet. Joe looked around and noticed his two brothers were still asleep. 'Oh', he mouthed to me and we both stood up.
"Where is your bathroom?" I asked blushing as I said that and Joe pointed to a door just to my right. I turned and almost ran in there closing the door behind me.
After going to the bathroom I finger combed my curly hair a bit and straightened out Nick's shirt. I walked out just in time to see Nick and Kevin getting up. My stomach gurgled.
"I'm hungry!" I announced and Nick and Kevin just looked at me. "Can we have some breakfast?" I asked and they nodded and stood up.
We walked upstairs and into the kitchen. Kevin walked over to the fridge and took out a box of Ego Waffles. He popped some into the toaster and began to get out dishes and silverware. He set them on the table while Nick went and grabbed the syrup. I sat down and starred longingly at the toaster waiting for the waffles to pop up. When the finally did Kevin gave them to me and I began to shovel it into my mouth. I glanced up to see Nick and Kevin starring at me.
"What?" I asked after swallowing a bite of waffle.
"Nothing." They said in unison and I glared, not believing them.
"Have you never seen a girl eat before?" I asked them, a bit rudely.
"We've seen a girl eat before, but not like that." Joe said coming up behind me. I just cracked up laughing. All three of them stared at me like I was crazy. I didn't even try to tell them why I was laughing.
I finished eating and went upstairs to change back into my clothes. After slipping on my jeans and shirt I folded Nick's shirt and put it on the bed along with his mom's silk belt. Just then I remembered to check my messages. I turned on my phone and was amazed to find ten messages. Nine of them were from my mom and one was from Jasmine. I decided to listen to my mom's first. They all basically asked where the hell I was and why I hadn't I bothered to tell her I was sleeping over at someone's house. They also kept asking me to pick up my phone.
I slapped myself in the forehead.
"I'm such an idiot! I can't believe I forgot to tell her where I was." I muttered to myself turning to walk out into the hallway. I finally listened to my sister's message.
"Brittney! Why aren't you picking up the phone!? Mom just called me and told me she left like twenty messages and you never picked up! I had to lie and tell her you were with me, and that you must have put your cell in your purse. And I also had to lie and tell her that you were in the bathroom and couldn't come and talk to her. You owe me big time. Just remember what I told you and I don't think you will get in any trouble." I silently thanked my sister and felt guilty that I couldn't tell her about meeting the Jonas Brothers.
I walked downstairs slipping my phone back into my front pocket. I walked into the kitchen where the guys were still eating.
"I think I should be getting home now. Thanks for letting me stay over just like that. It was fun." I turned to leave, but then Kevin spoke.
"Wait, we'll drive you back to your house. You'd probably get lost anyways. The houses here almost all look the same." I turned around and smiled.
"Yeah, you're probably right. I'll wait for you." I walked back up to the front door and slipped my sneakers on. Just I was picking up my backpack they walked out all wearing hats and sunglasses.
"I'll take that for you." Nick said picking up my backpack like it was a feather.
"Thanks." I replied blushing. I followed them out the door and got into the backseat of the car. After giving Kevin the directions he drove me to my house. He parked in the driveway and we just sat there for a second. "Well, thanks again. It was really cool meeting you guys. Maybe I'll see you around sometime." I said and opened the car door.
"Bye Brittney." Kevin said half waving.
"See ya later giiirl." Joe said trying to imitate a girl, I giggled.
"If you ever need me to talk to those guys again, I will." Nick said smiling. I laughed and grabbed my backpack. I waved to them one last time and walked into my house. My mom looked up from the couch and smiled.
"Well hello there. How was the sleepover?" I wasn't really used to lying to my mom, but I knew I was going to have to. I took a deep breath and hoped I could pull this off.
"It was really fun. I'm glad I went." I said dropping my backpack by the door and heading toward the kitchen. I was still hungry.
"Why didn't Jasmine come home with you?" She asked following me into the kitchen.
"Oh…Um…" I began, but just then my sister rushed in.
"Good morning sunshine's!" She sang and grabbed my arm. "Brittney, I have to tell you something really important that Alyssa was, you know, crying over." She stared at me willing me to go along with her.
"Oh, yeah I was wondering about that." I said, glancing at my mom who was watching us curiously.
"Sorry mom, but this is kind of private." Jasmine dragged me into her bedroom and sat me down on her bed. "So where did you actually stay?" She asked me. I nervously played with my curls, pulling them down and letting them go so they bounced back up. My eyes widened, I was too busy worrying about lying to my mom that I hadn't come up with a lie for my sister.
"I…" I began, thinking quickly and praying that I could come up with something soon.
