I couldn't believe he was giving this to me. This was like, one of the most important things in his life. I slowly shook my head and looked up at him. He smiled at me as he handed me yet another box. I stared at him teary eyed.
"You can't… you can't give this to me. I can't take that." Nick nodded and smiled as I grabbed the other box. As I took it, I let one tear fall and looked at him again. I hadn't even opened the box yet but I knew that the thing in the other box would be just as important to him as the other one. He was still smiling at me as he watched me.
"Nick, I seriously can't take either of those. They are… so precious to you and…" Nick shook his head and kissed my cheek softly. He showed me his hand with the purity ring on it.
"See, I told them to make a copy of the ring. It's like it was never gone. But I want to give it to you as a promise ring. It's supposed to have two meanings. I promise to you that I will be your first - the first guy you ever sleep with - and in exchange you promise to later get married to me. I know how it is to live without you and I can't do that. If you don't take this ring… I just want you to have it." I stared at the ring, shocked.
He gave me his purity ring - the real one. He had a fake one on his finger but it looked exactly like the one in the box. I knew though, that the one in the box was right because the way Nick stared at me and the way he said what he had to say. I let out a happy sob and nodded. Nick smiled and kissed my cheek again as he put the ring on my finger.
I stared at it happily as I smiled brightly. I still couldn't believe that this all happened. He came all the way from Texas over here just to see me and be with me on this day. We got back together just yesterday and he was ready to make a commitment as big as this. He wanted to give me his purity ring - the one thing that people knew him for. It didn't matter that he duplicated it - he gave me the original.
"I love you…" Nick smiled at me and kissed me once again. This kiss meant just as much as my previous words. He pointed at the other box. He grinned at me as I bit my lip.
"Why don't you open this one too? I know you'll love it." I giggled a little and looked at him skeptically.
"Do I really want to open it? Or is it another really important thing in your life?" Nick chuckled and shrugged.
"You'll have to look and see." I took a deep breath and smiled at him as I opened the box. I let a tear roll down my cheek as I looked up at him again. He grinned at me.
"This is the first one I got. I got them to give me another one. Of course, they wouldn't give it to me until I told them why I wanted it. Then the woman that gave it to me said that she was jealous of you. So you better take it." I giggled through my tears as I shook my head at him.
"You are too good for me, Nicholas. Gosh, I really do love you." Nick smiled as he grabbed his very first dog tag from the box and put it around my neck. I pulled up my hair as he clasped the ends together. I smiled at him and kissed him again.
"I love you too." I laughed a little and hugged him tightly. Wiping the remaining tears from my cheeks, Nick smiled at me. That's when realization dawned on me.
"I didn't even buy you anything! I thought I'd spend this day all alone in my room with my sorry self. And then you show up. And now I feel bad because I couldn't give you something and you gave me your ring and your dog tag…" Nick shook his head and kissed mine.
"I got you, that's enough." I rolled my eyes a bit but couldn't help but blush from his compliment. But that's what made Nick… Nick. He would always try to make me blush.
"Sure it is. It's like the least you could want." Nick laughed and shook his head again.
"No, I think it's biggest thing I can get." I giggled and kissed his cheek. I looked at him cheekily as he looked back at me.
"You know, I'd love to say that the things you gave me are the biggest things I could get - it's not really true. Actually, there are two things bigger than them." Nick looked at me confused.
"What's that?" I giggled and pointed down to his pants.
"Well, that…" He laughed and blushed a bit. I just made him blush; my life was complete. Not really, but it takes a lot to make Nicholas Jonas blush.
"And… if this new relationship would not be so much on the down low anymore. Like, not 'anymore' because it's been on the down low for a day but I mean…" Nick sighed a bit and nodded.
"I know what you mean…" I watched him have a conversation with himself in his head. I knew he was having this conversation with him because he had this look on his face. I decided to interrupt his thoughts because I was insecure as hell.
"You know, we don't have to announce it in an interview or something but… we could, you know, hold hands and go out together. Shop together… and just be with each other even out of the house. Not always behind closed doors. You don't even know how hard it is for me to lie to my fans. Maybe you don't have that much of a problem. But that's because… When you say 'she's a great girl' or 'I like her, she's like my best friend' people don't assume. But when I say 'he's awesome' people go crazy and say I have a crush on that and that guy or something like that.
Once they said I had a crush on Zac because I said he was one of the greatest guys in my life. How awkward was that? Vanny called me up and asked me if that was true. It so wasn't. And I just hate lying to everyone. So… I meant that we could just go out and dodge all the questions about us but not be so secretive." Nick looked at me completely confused.
"I don't get you, Mi." Okay, he still called me Mi. He wasn't mad. I just wasn't sure if that was a plus or not. I gulped and sighed a bit.
"I mean… like I did with… you know, Justin. We held hands and went out together - had lunch and dinner together. We kind of dodged the questions about us. I don't want our relationship to be a secret like it was the first time. It broke apart because of that." Nick sighed a bit and looked me square in the eye. He suddenly nodded.
Did he seriously just nod? I never thought he'd actually nod. Nick was never the one to be all public. He won't even give you a straight out answer if it wasn't about something with the band or his show. And now he actually wanted to go public with me? Cool.
"Yeah… okay. Let's do this. We won't just walk out there and say it to the press or in an interview. But we can go out in public… together. We can hold hands and all the stuff couples do. And when the time comes and we're ready we'll tell them." I smiled at him brightly.
"Best thing you've said all day… apart from 'I love you'." Nick laughed and kissed me softly. I giggled and kissed him back. He wrapped an arm around me as I looked at the breakfast that was still in front of me. I laughed.
"I still have to eat that." Nick nodded and watched me grab another pancake. I took a bit and… immediately spit it out again. Nick chuckled nervously.
"Why was only the first one really good?" He rubbed his neck and shrugged innocently.
"Well, the first one was not made by me… your Mom made it. I made the rest and I knew it sucked so I asked her if she could at least make the first one so you'd be impressed. I didn't actually think you'd finish after I'd give you my presents." I laughed and shook my head.
"You know, just the whole set-up was enough. I was impressed after I saw the breakfast. It didn't really have to taste good. You know what?... Oh my gosh, I just realized I have an interview in… ten minutes! Gosh, I sound terrible!" Nick looked at me confused.
"Wait… an interview? With you and why do you sound bad, why is that bad?" I giggled.
"They call me! I sound like I just woke up!" Nick chuckled a bit.
"Maybe because you did? Miles, come on, I bet they've heard you in that voice before… I mean, didn't do an interview with Ryan and Mandy on the phone at like 7 in the morning or something?" I shrugged and played with my hair a bit.
"Yeah, but whatever. I still sound horrible." Nick rolled his eyes as he rubbed my waist with the hand that was around me.
"No, you sound adorable. Are they calling or are you supposed to call?" I shrugged and looked at him with a little pout on my lips.
"I have no idea. Let me go ask Mom." Nick chuckled as he watched me get up. I trudged out of the room and into the living room. Mom smiled at me as she saw me.
"Well, look who's up. Had a nice surprise breakfast?" I blushed bit and nodded.
"Yeah, I did. Uhm, do they call or do I call?" Mom laughed and shook her head.
"I'm telling you, you need personal assistant. I can take that job as well, you know. They call." I sighed and nodded. Then I glared at her.
"Just for your information, I'm fine without a personal assistant. I just wasn't sure. I guess I wouldn't have called them to see if they would. If they didn't then… tough luck." Mom laughed and shook her head.
"Yeah, go back to your boyfriend." I blushed and nodded. I shot a playful glare at her and went back into my room to realize that Nick was gone. Okay, did I dream all that just happened? No way, right? I fell onto my bed and realized that the breakfast was gone too. I was confused for a moment. That was until Nick walked back into my room. I let out a sigh of relief.
"You are not to ever leave this room until I know you are because I just thought all that happened was a dream. It almost gave me a heart attack." Nick chuckled and walked up to me. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek.
"Well, I decided that I should clean up the mess you made after you stormed out of the room to find your mom. Do you know that you tripped all the stuff over your bed?" I laughed and shook my head. Just as I wanted to reply to him, the phone rang. I jumped over the bed and to my phone to grab it. Nick sat down on my bed and laughed. I took a deep breath and picked up.
"Hello?" I sat down next to Nick and we leaned against the headboard.
"Hey Miley, you'll be on in one minute, okay?" I nodded though I knew they couldn't see me. Well, I didn't until Nick nudged me.
"They can't see you." He whispered and I blushed embarrassed.
"Yeah, I know- I mean, okay." Nick chuckled quietly and I pushed him a bit. We waited as I listened to the music on the phone. Nick played with my hair and I just watched him. Suddenly the music stopped and I sat up straight, making Nick notice that the interview would start now.
"And now on the line, is the great Miley Stewart. Hello Miley." I giggled as he called me 'great'. Only he would say that.
"Hey Ryan! How are you?" Ryan chuckled.
"Well, I'm doing pretty good here in LA. How are you doing down there in Georgia? Having fun?" I glanced back at Nick and smiled.
"Yeah, I'm perfect." Nick smiled and kissed my cheek.
"So, tell us how the shooting is going." I sighed a bit. These were the boring questions. I liked the random ones better. But I answered him anyway.
"It's going great! The crew is awesome and the cast is like a second family to me. I've made some awesome friends here. The story line is just beautiful too." Nick smiled as he watched me. I rolled my eyes at his sappy smile and he chuckled.
"Well, that's good to hear. Are you alone right now?" See, random questions… but this one wasn't so funny.
"Uhm, am I alone right now?" I looked at Nick as he shrugged, suddenly more interested in my hair than my call for help. I swallowed and giggled a bit.
"N-no? I'm not." I sounded confused by my own answer. Ryan chuckled at my answer.
"Are you really not? You sound unsure about it." I giggled and looked at Nick. He looked at me curiously.
"I'm not alone, duh. It's around eight in the morning, the whole cast is sitting here Ryan. Of course I'm alone, dude." He laughed and Nick shook his head at my sarcasm, obviously amused by me.
"Okay, should've known. But we don't have eight here, Mile." I shrugged.
"Whatever, we do and they're all asleep. I'm not even sure Mom's up." Nick raised an eyebrow at me and I just shrugged.
"Okay then, so… I heard rumors about a new album… Any news to that one?" I sighed a bit.
"How do people find out that stuff? They only told me like yesterday or… a week ago. How do they know already? Who are they actually?" Ryan laughed and Nick chuckled quietly.
"I don't know, just a rumor I've heard. Everyone on Twitter was telling me to ask you about it." I smiled.
"Twitter, huh? Haven't been on there a long time ago… like, two days ago. Anyway, yeah, we're planning on it. It's going to be awesome, that's all I'm saying. I've heard the titles and they rock - well, I wrote the songs so they're awesome of course." Ryan laughed.
"So you've heard the titles and you wrote the songs." I blushed a little and laughed.
"Yeah… no. I mean the ones that I didn't write, of course." Ryan chuckled and Nick rolled his eyes at my logic. I know that I'm stupid but give me a break, it was early.
"Yeah, sure…. so, we've heard another rumor." I sighed.
"Oh gosh…" Ryan laughed as Nick motioned for me to put it on speaker. I sighed again and did what he asked me to.
"So, we heard you have a visitor right now." I looked at the phone shocked. Why do they know this stuff? Are they stalking me? Okay, got to play it cool. Try to get the subject on something else other than your boyfriend… because they don't know he is my boyfriend.
"Depends… who are you talking about? Because Mammie actually just arrived yesterday." Ryan chuckled. It's true though, she did.
"Well, we've heard that a certain Jonas brother flew to Georgia yesterday. Any truth to that rumor?" I glanced at Nick and he shrugged. I bit my lip and kept looking at him questioningly. He said we wouldn't announce it in an interview so I couldn't just say yes, right?
"Uhm… seriously, Ryan, how do you find out that stuff? Are you stalking me? I'll get a restraining order." Ryan laughed and I giggled. He was distracted for a second. Good, now think what to answer him. Should I actually tell him?
"No, fans asked me - once again. Now, don't change the subject Miss Miley. Is he there or not?" Gosh, persistent today, Ryan, or what? I sighed.
"I don't know… Maybe he is - hasn't shown up yet." Ooh, I'm good. Nick smiled at me and leaned forward to kiss my cheek. Guess what I just said was the right thing. Ryan laughed anyway.
"Maybe he still will." I giggled and shrugged.
"Who knows… you never know with that boy." Nick playfully glared at me and I giggled again. Ryan was laughing at the other end of the line.
"So, tell us Miley, any new projects other than the album and the movie?" I sighed again. I didn't even know if there were… should I just say yes? Might as well.
"Yeah, there are but I'm not saying what." Nick looked at me questioningly and I just shrugged and shook my head, silently telling him I had no idea what I just said. He held back a laughed as Ryan chuckled.
"Of course you won't. How's the weather in Georgia?" Okay, random question again. I got up and walked to the window to open the curtains. The first thing I saw was… well, the sun kind of blinded me the second I opened the curtains.
"Bright…" Nick put a pillow over his head and laughed into it. I giggled and closed the curtain again to rub my eyes. Ryan was quiet for a bit.
"Just bright? What does that mean?" I giggled and stumbled over to the bed.
"Bright as in… the sun just totally blinded me and now I can't find my bed thanks to you, Ryan." He laughed. Nick was rolling on my bed, now laughing hysterically but quietly. No idea how he did that.
"Well, at least you know you have great weather. What will you be doing today?" I opened my mouth and then closed it again.
"Uhm, I don't know. Eat breakfast; show Mammie around a bit…" With Mammie I meant Nicky but Ryan didn't need to know that… I mean, the people who listened, Ryan would find out soon anyway. He's a great friend, I tell him stuff. It's not like he's ever told anyone else anything anyway.
"Oh? No filming?" I smiled as I finally found my bed. I was a bit dramatic to make Nick laugh more which worked because he was now close to falling off my bed.
"No, we're on a break. I'm actually happy about that. I haven't done stuff with Mammie in a long time." Nick had another fit of giggles or whatever you want to call it with him and now finally fell off the bed… with a really loud bang since he knocked over my bedside table. I groaned.
"What was that?" I bit my lip.
"Nothing? What was what? Are you hearing things?" Ryan chuckled a bit and I could really see him shake his head as he was trying to process what he just heard.
"There is someone there, right?" I looked over the edge of my bed to see Nick looking up at me. He knew that Ryan heard it. I asked him with my eyes if I should tell and Nick nodded. Wait - he nodded? Again? What was wrong with this guy? Wow, he really wants this to work out then.
"Yeah, actually… just came in and tripped. Knocked over the bedside table." Ryan laughed as Nick glared at me.
"Who is it then? Or are you not telling again and leaving us in the dark?" I giggled and leaned into Nick to whisper something in his ear.
"Make your voice sound different and talk. Act like Scotty or something. If they recognize you - smart them, if not… tough luck." Nick chuckled and shrugged.
"I'm not telling. But if you want you can interview him too. Yeah, it's a he." Ryan chuckled.
"Ooh, now it's getting interesting." I giggled and nodded for Nick to say something.
"Hi…" He dragged the word out in a really… not normal way. I laughed and shook my head.
"Hi there… Care to tell us who you are?" Nick chuckled.
"No… wait, yeah… actually, no." I laughed even more at his voice. Hearing this was the funniest thing ever.
"Okay, then, we'll find out eventually. Miley can't keep in a secret that long." I gasped and glared at the phone.
"Hey! I'm still here. I can hear ya, you know?" Ryan laughed and Nick chuckled.
"Anyway, are you a close friend of Miley's?" I looked at Nick curiously.
"You could say so. We're really close friends, actually." I raised an eyebrow as Nick gave a shrug.
"Oh, really… Do we know you from videos or interviews or something like that?" I giggled. They knew him, alright.
"You might, I don't know. I'm not a person to go out in public with Miles like that. I mean, here in Georgia it's different…" I rolled my eyes at his words. What's different in Georgia? The other day I went to grab some lunch and the next day it was in the news. Headline: Miley Stewart Eats In Georgia. That was the most awkward and odd headline I've ever seen so far. I eat every day everywhere I am.
"Well, I guess we'll be seeing you then… come on, tell us your name." I giggled and was actually surprised at how good Nick was with covering up his voice. He looked at me kind of panicked and I shrugged and played with my hair instead. Payback sucks, doesn't it? He left me hanging, now I will too.
"My name is…" I looked at him curiously as he was still debating on what to say his name was.
"Do you even know your name or not?" Ryan was laughing away at the other end and I giggled.
"Well, I'm not sure if I should say my real name or my nickname." I raised an eyebrow at him. He smiled at me as he waited for Ryan to answer.
"If you're… you know, not comfortable saying your real name, just uh, say the nickname then." I giggled as Nick sighed quietly and looked around. He seemed to have caught sight of something because he smirked then and turned to me.
"Well, Miles likes to call me Bear… for whatever reason. Apparently it's because I'm so… what do you always say? Buff? Yeah, I think that's what you say." I blushed and rolled my eyes. I didn't call him Bear. I'd call him Nicky Bear but it's almost the same and what he said was true too. Ryan laughed - obviously at me.
"Oh Miley… and I thought you were a song writer." I giggled embarrassed and threw Nick a playful glare before I answered.
"Well, you should see him. He does look like a bear. His nose is so… stubby." Ryan laughed even more and Nick chuckled and shook his head.
"I'm not sure that even made sense but we'll take it. Now… (chuckle from Ryan)… Bear… are you in the business?" I giggled and looked at Nick. The irony of this interview was just too funny. Nick chuckled too.
"Uhm, not really. I'm Miley's… fashion… uhm, what do you say again?" He looked at me, obviously wanting me to make up a quick nickname for that. I bit my lip. What's good with fashion?
"He's my fashion-god." Oh god, help me. I did not just say that, did I? Ryan chuckled more than amused.
"Fashion-god?" I groaned inwardly as I shrugged at Nick's confused and amused glance.
"Yeah, that too. But usually he's just my best friend. I wouldn't say god because he barely really helps me with my clothes. He likes to give me advice so I'd say… not Fashion-god but Fashion-advertisement. But I just call him Bear." Nick laughed and so did Ryan. What Nick forgot this time was that he didn't cover up his laugh and his laugh was recognizable if you've heard it often enough. Believe me, Ryan's heard it more than enough.
"Wait… your laugh… sounds kind of familiar. Miley…" Ryan's voice was in a playful but warning tone. Oh no…
"Yeah?" He chuckled quietly and Nick looked at me alarmed.
"Are you hiding something from us?" I looked at Nick with big eyes. I swallowed and giggled nervously.
"No? Why would you say that?" I could imagine Ryan shaking his head, grinning from ear to ear.
"Why? I have this feeling that Bear is not really 'Bear' but more like… Nicky Bear." I quietly gasped and turned to Nick. He was laughing… what? Laughing? Nick was laughing because Ryan exposed our little game…? Oh, because he didn't have a problem anymore. With going out in public, I mean.
"Uhm… haha, I guess…" Ryan and the rest of the crew over there started clapping and shouting and I was totally confused. Nick put an arm around me and pulled me on his lap. He kissed my cheek and I blushed as they were still fussing over Nick being here in the first place.
"So… he is in Georgia?" I giggled and put my head on Nick's shoulder.
"No, he's in my room." We all laughed - I could even hear the people next to Ryan laugh at me.
"Why would he be there?" I shrugged though I knew he couldn't see me. But I didn't answer. I know, I'm such a genius.
"They can't see you shrug Mi, still can't." They laughed again as I hit Nick and blushed.
"Well, obviously he'd be here - it's June 11th." It was quiet for a bit until realization dawned on them.
"Oh right… So… you're together now?" I would've spit out some water if I had some in my mouth. Nick coughed awkwardly.
"Uhm… we're best friends now. We wanted to celebrate this day together because obviously it's the day we met and… yeah." Well, so far I was dodging the questions just fine. But it was only one so far so…
"And he flew across the country just so you could spend this day together? That's sweet." Nick blushed a bit as I pinched his cheek playfully. He glared at me and rolled his eyes.
"It is, isn't it? And I didn't even expect it at all. I was kind of grumpy yesterday and wouldn't leave my room and Mom said she brought me a smoothie and I believed her. Well, I stayed in my room for another twenty minutes and then I walk into the kitchen and there he was. He'd been waiting for twenty minutes for me to show up. He brought me the smoothie too. So sweet of him…" Nick rolled his eyes a bit as I gave a full on replay of the events that happened the day before.
"Yeah, that was sweet of him. Anyway, I think our time's over…" I pouted. I actually kind of liked this interview though I didn't really get the point of it.
"Aw, already?" Nick chuckled and shook his head.
"I know! It went by so fast. But before we end this interview, what are you two up to today then? I'm sure that you won't be showing your Mammie around." I blushed and looked at Nick who smirked at me.
"I've planned something. Miley just doesn't know yet." I looked at my boyfriend curiously as he kissed my nose. I giggled quietly and rolled my eyes slightly.
"Ooh, sounds interesting. Well, we won't keep you from your plans then." I giggled.
"You actually probably weren't but…" Ryan laughed.
"Actually probably… you might want to put her to sleep again Nick, she sounds like she's lacking some." Nick laughed and glared at the phone.
"Very funny." Ryan laughed a bit more as Nick pulled me a bit closer to him.
"I will, Ryan." Ryan laughed even more as I now turned my playful glare to my boy who was shaking with laughter as well.
"Anyway… thank you very much for the interview and the big surprise guest." I laughed now too.
"You're welcome. Now let us go so I can… 'Go to sleep'." Now we all laughed.
"Again, thank you for the interview and… I'll see you when you come back to LA." I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, I will… bye." I hung up and turned to Nick. Without saying anything else I just kissed him. He chuckled and kissed me back. He then pulled back and smiled at me.
"What was that for?" I shrugged and played with the little curls in his neck.
"Because you are a great…. great, great, great guy. I love you." He smiled and pecked my lips again.
"I love you too…" I grinned at him brightly.
"You know what… I think this is going to work out this time… us, I mean. You don't want to keep it on the down low, you just had an interview with me with one of the nosiest interviewers ever and… this is going to work out." Nick nodded.
"I wouldn't let it fail again. I love you too much for that." I kissed him again and lay my head on his shoulder.
"Yeah… so, what are your plans for today, then? For us… do you actually have plans?" Nick chuckled and kissed my head.
"Yeah, I do. You've got about an hour to put on some clothes. Nothing fancy. Shorts are enough." I looked up at him curiously.
"What are we going to do?" He shook his head and tapped his nose.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." I glared at him playfully and pouted right after.
"Great… well, until then we can do… some really fun things…" He grinned at me and leaned forward, kissing me again instantly. I giggled and kissed him back and we instantly began to make out. Yeah, what do you want from us? We were still just teenagers… and we had a whole day planned for us, ready to be lived.
And there you have it... :P Yeah, I don't know, this chapter was pointless but I really wanted to write an interview... don't ask me why, I like interviews... as long as I'm not the person being interviewed. Okay, I hope you liked it and... maybe please leave a review? Ha, yeah that'd be like suuuuuper awesome :D
