A/N: I've decided to write todays update accompanied by the musical stylings of... whatever's on my Zune! So, if you hear random lyrics or hints of certain songs (Build me up buttercup is playing now!) than I do apologize! (OOOOOOOOOH. OOOOOOOH. WHY DO YOU BUILD ME UP, BUILD ME UP, BUTTERCUP BABY JUST TO LET ME DOWN?) Sorry, I fear that I truly am going insane.
Kevin's POV
What the fuck was going on? I mean honestly, something about Leonie and her brother's death. But I'm not going to make that connection! I may have only known Leo for about a week, but pegging her as a murderer wasn't exactly on the agenda, even with Nick's warning (idiotic) words! At least he's been getting death stares, and glares that would make me cringe from everybody. Sad part is, he's sending them right back. Well, usually, only when Charlotte's around which is every freaking second. I went home, yeah, Charlotte was in my room with Nick. I do not need to see her little made up face wherever I go! Actually, I want to see Laken's face. Everything is perfect with her right now, in all honesty. She's the most amazing girlfriend a guy could ever have,
A/N: Now it's Year 3000. (The zune's on shuffle! And yes, you'll be getting these every time it changes)
Yeah, I did say girlfriend. I guess I forgot to say that I asked her out a few days ago, we hadn't really told everyone but I guess they figured it out. Joe patted me on the back, the girls smiled like maniacs and cooed whenever me and Laken were together, Nick just gave the most emotionless nod he could... jerk. I need to stop thinking about Nick, he ruins all my visions of perfection, err, Laken. He was being such a jerk to Leonie, when he was the one who deserved to apologize after what he did to her. Honestly I didn't know the full extent of it, but what can you do. Then there was Rhiannon and Joe, who were like the power couple or something. Honestly they'd been through a lot of shit, of course it was fueled by alcohol and purple and green bruises!
A/N: Now it's If That's Not Love by NBB (Shut up! I was having so much fun watching those little kids on the screen, they can't act worth shit but it's so cute! Anyway, I'm done with these updates because the freaking llama song just came on!)
First they're in love, then they're battling it to the death, then she leaves, then she gets knocked around a bit, then Joe goes all knight in shining armor on her, and now she's back. Call me crazy, but that's not my type of roller coaster. Which makes me really glad, mostly because Laken is normal! She doesn't have a deceased brother, (that she possibly killed, really I need to figure that one out) or an abusive mother who she's just played rebel with and ran out on. Speaking of that, where was my girl? I walked around the venue lounge for a little bit, adjusting my sun glasses because they were making a glare, when two really soft (I couldn't help but notice! Don't mock me!) hands pulled them off and covered my eyes. At first I was a little bit thrown off guard, for all I knew I was about to be raped by some obsessed fan, (Like I said, I'm going insane! Okay, I promise I'll stop with these, but I'm as high as one could be off music) but when I heard Laken's voice, I was fine.
"Don't freak out pop star, I already stole your heart.. what more could I go for?" Laken snickered, even when she said the corniest things it was so cute. I just realized something... I hadn't kissed her yet. I dunno, Laken was so difficult to figure out and I didn't know if she'd refuse me kissing her or something. Yes, I was freaking out.. I had the right to do that once and a while. I couldn't help but stare at her lips, and I knew sooner or later she'd call me out on it just because I knew that's how she was. Suddenly, without thinking I leaned in and crashed my lips to hers. She didn't respond at first, I probably surprised the crap out of her. Then to my relief, she began to kiss me back and she shifted her position so that she was closer to me, moving her hands from the idle state behind her to cup my cheek. I had kissed plenty of girls throughout my twenty years, but nothing like kissing Laken. I think I might actually... love her.
A/N: Sorry for the sudden change of POV, but I'm so much better writing intimate scenes as a girl.
Laken's POV
Woah, Kevin obviously heard nothing of my conversation and I noticed him staring at my lips. I wonder how long it's going to take before he actually kis-- Kevin Jonas just leaned over and kissed me! I didn't know how to respond at first, I was in some state of shock. Then finally my body began to react and I kissed him back, his tongue begging entrance which I granted. Now we were full on making out, and I wasn't self conscious in the slightest. Usually I'd be silently freaking out about my breath, or how I was or something. With Kevin, it was different. I felt totally confident around him, I liked that. I moved my hand up to cup his cheek, at which point his hand feeling like it needed to do something moved down to my thigh, and rested there.
I moved closer to him, completely closing the space between us. His hands had graduated to my back, while .. my entire body had graduated to his lap. I bit his lip a little bit, as my hands found their way around to his back as well, my nails gripping into his shirt. This wasn't going anywhere, so almost in a trance we broke the kiss and I began to lift his shirt off. This was so not something I would do, but with Kevin I felt right. I couldn't stand to be away from him even just to pull the fabric off his body, but I immediately returned to our embrace once it was removed. His hands found their way to the hem of my shirt, pulling it off. I had a thin tank top on under it, but he didn't remove that yet. Instead, Kevin kissed my jawline before moving down to small, passionate kisses on my neck. I let my head fall backwards, as he worked down to my chest. I nestled more, if possible, into his lap feeling the heat from him. Our bodies moved together, my stomach touching his bare chest. He made to remove my undershirt, which was the last piece of clothing before my bra. As he started to pull the material up, no resistance from me, he stopped and dropped it... as well as me. I felt a little bit rejected for a second, as he just let me fall from his grip and grabbed his shirt, throwing it back on.
"Uh, Kevin--" I started to say, but he cut me off.
"Laken, I'm so sorry. I never should have let anything get that far," he said, twiddling his purity ring around his finger. I was pissed off, he chooses now to become some god?
"Kev, nothing happened. It's fine!" I tried to reassure him, but he wasn't having it. His face was so deep with regret, that I felt guilty for not stopping anything.
"Laken, I was about to let it happen, I was about to let it all happen! We were about to..." He couldn't even say it, and I just felt really awkward with my hair all disheveled, and my shirt hanging limply on table.
That's when Joe and Rhiannon walked in, obviously laughing about something I didn't know. They were absorbed in each other but then they noticed me and Kevin, I was sitting awkwardly on the couch not having moved from where Kevin let me fall, and he was buttoning his shirt. Joe immediately looked at Kevin sternly, while I sat guiltily. Crap! I forgot how bad this must look for him, and his whole purity ring image.
"Kev," Joe said slowly, almost as if he regretted anything Kevin would say.
"Not a god damned thing happened, Joseph," I was surprised to find out that came my own self, without my consent. I hadn't realized how rejected I felt, but I guess my body did. Rhiannon looked at me, she probably knew what was going on. It was so much more of a female thing, so I grabbed Rhi by the wrists and dragged her into the next room, catching a glimpse of Joe smacking Kevin in the back of the head saying 'Are you sure nothing happened,' or something of that variety.
"Laken, you will spill this instant!" Rhianon demanded, eagerly. Hm, well what did happen. I was seduced, led on, then dropped... literally. I sighed, ready to pour through it all yet again. Leonie walked in through the door, fast paced and probably trying to escape Nick and Charlotte's 'relationship' demeanor. Good, now I wouldn't have to explain twice.
"Leo, come here! Laken's about to tell us about her little sexcapade with Kevin," Rhi chirped excitedly.
"It wasn't a damn sexcapade, so don't get your hopes up," I said, my own hopes shattered. It's not that I wanted to have... sex with Kevin, but I do wish I would've gotten a little warning before being left in the midst of an intimate moment. That doesn't do well for a girl's self esteem!
"So explain than!" This time it was Leonie, obviously now taking some interest.
"Well, I was just talking to Kevin and then he went all suave and kissed me right there, so I kissed him back. So then it got a little more serious and full on make out session, so I ended up on his laugh then pulled his shirt off. He did the same," I paused, watching their eyebrows raise, "I had a tank top on! Geez guys, I'm not easy! He wouldn't get my shirt off that quick," I smirked, "And then when he was going to step it up a notch, suddenly he drops me! Literally, just plop onto the couch!" I said, heating up a little bit. It did piss me off, I knew where Kevin was coming from, but as afore mentioned... a girl could use a little warning.
"Well, I guess his purity ring restricted stuff, eh?" Rhi said, chewing on the inside of her cheek comprehending everything.
"But still, purity ring or not... he could have just pulled away and been all 'Lakie, I'm so sorry! I just can't do anything more!' and then you two could have continued sucking face, rather than cutting you off like that," Leonie added.
"I know, I know, I just have no idea if he doesn't want to see me now, 'cause of like awkwardness or something," I said, I was afraid he'd be too embarrassed to face me. I sure as hell hoped not, avoiding my boyfriend was not on my to-do list.
Nick's POV
I hated the fact that Leonie could just waltz in and screw up my life like that. I knew she was flirting with me from the start, but I thought it was just some crush. I didn't think it would amount to anything, honestly I didn't think she'd sink as low as she did. Charlotte was so innocent in this situation, and she was still hurting after all the shit Leonie said. She was probably afraid I'd think Leo was right and run to her, leaving Charlotte. She wasn't here now though, she'd gone with a friend to go get some coffee or something. I was just thinking to myself when the door opened and Leonie, Laken, and Rhiannon walked in. When they noticed me on the couch, Rhi and Laken immediately turned back and went out the door. Leonie was right on their heels but they closed the door before she got out, and held it shut I suppose by Leonie's pulling.
"CUNTS!" She screamed loudly, before kicking her foot at nothing whatsoever. "Sup Nick?" She asked casually, did she forget I hated her guts?
"Whatever," I mumbled awkwardly, then came the pouring of words, "Look, Leonie I'm sorry for spilling your secret or whatever, but I mean you honestly deserved it after how you treated Charlotte," I said all at once. A smug smile appeared on Leonie's face, which surprised me.
"Kay, whatever you say bud," she said quietly, avoiding my glare. "So where is the slu-- girl now?" She said, I knew she said slut on purpose. What a fucking ignoramus. Yeah, ignoramus, problem?
"Getting coffee, not like it's any of your business," I said, just as smugly. A smile appeared on her face, what the hell? Was she high or something! Then she grabbed my arm, but her grip was too tight for me to yank out of, and reluctantly I just gave in and followed her. Somehow I ended up on the bus, outside of a Starbucks. We walked inside, and Leonie scanned the building... nothing seemed to fit her liking. I hate the girl standing beside me, and she's acting like we're best friends or something.
"Hm, must've left already," she said to herself, tapping her wrist out of habit. "Look, I have to pee. If you even think of getting back on that bus without me, I'll kill you!" She said, before disappearing inside the shop's bathroom. I did have half a mind to leave her, before I heard the most familiar giggle. I'd know it anywhere, so I turned to look around for it's source. I saw a couple approaching, leaning over and giving each other really quick kisses every second. Shit, that couldn't be true. Leonie couldn't be right, Charlotte would never do that. She loved me, I loved her. She loved me! She loved ME! I ducked behind a wall, mentally slapping myself for doubting Charlotte's love. It has to be a coincidence, no way anyone else could have that giggle. Just then the door of the Starbucks opened and Leonie walked out.
"You little whore! I thought after you were discovered last time, you'd at least stop seeing this dish rag," she said, gesturing towards the guy next to who I was pissed to discover was Charlotte.
"Baby, it's not my fault Nicky can't see what's right in front of him, plus I thought his little episode at you was hilarious! No way I'm ruining that!" She said snidely, I wanted to pull her hair out!
"How on Earth could you hurt him like that though! Have you no heart? Especially for someone like this idiot," I noticed him scowling at Leonie, but loved the fact that she acted like he wasn't there. "Nick J doesn't deserve this at all, he's been nothing but nice to you, fawning over your ever slutty move, obsessing over everything you say. The one guy I care about most in the world thinks that I betrayed him, when you're the one who can't keep her legs closed!" Leonie screamed, I could see her cheeks reddening from anger and just from knowing her, I knew she was doing everything in her power to avoid lunging at Charlotte.
"Well, Nicky doesn't believe a word you say, so I wouldn't waste your breathe here, Leonie," Charlotte said cooly.
"Actually, Nick didn't believe a word Leonie said. But now, he sees that she's right," I said, making myself known from behind the wall. I watched Charlotte's face drop, as well as her jaw. She immediately dropped the hand of the guy next to her, and put on the puppy dog pout. She slithered up to me, latching herself onto my arm.
"Nicky, Leonie's doing it again!" She said in the most whiny voice I've ever heard.
"You are unbelievable! Do you not realize I just heard everything?" I said, barely able to get the words out. She was so shallow!
"Get off him Char, he's not on the market for STDs," Leonie said smugly. Charlotte finally got the picture, and stomped away on her heal.
"Thanks Leonie, I'm so sorry I didn't believe you," I said, holding my head down a little bit.
"Oh don't even think for a second that I forgive you. Nick, I can't believe you didn't trust me. And I'm saying it, but I fucking told you so. You were really stupid there, NJ. Bye," she said, turning on her heel and boarding the now idling bus. Wait, what? I thought she would forgive me, or at least have sympathy for the fact that I was just cheated on. Then again, I guess she had been dealing with it longer than I had, or at least knowingly. Did I hurt her that bad? No! No, I couldn't have. Why would it have such a huge affect on her?
Then my mind raced back to earlier, 'the one guy I care about most in the world'. She didn't mean that, she hated me. Right? Oh god, make all these questions stop! I held my head as I slowly boarded the bus, and plopped down next to Leonie, who couldn't move because she got the window. She shifted, obviously wanting nothing to do with me, but my head hurt too much to move. Than some really tall guy boarded the bus, and sat behind us. He kept staring at Leonie, who had the saddest look on her face. He glared at me, figuring automatically that I was the reason for her hurt expression. I glared right back, not in the mood.
"Leonie," his voice rung out, how'd he know her name?
"Look, Jason. I don't feel like talking, I had a rough day," Leonie snapped right back, I smiled at her attitude.
"Then we'll talk later, you and me, at dinner?" He said, keeping the same smooth voice. I saw Leonie tilt her head up a little bit, fuck no she wasn't actually considering this was she?
"Whatever," She said, and he told her six. I felt an immediate tinge of jealousy, I didn't like Leonie but I hated the fact that she wouldn't talk to me, and had just made a date to 'talk' to this Jason guy. I groaned, and went to tell Leonie the bus had arrived at our stop, but she put her hand up before I spoke.
"Save it, I know we're here," she said icily, the bitter tone of her voice almost scaring me.
We got off the bus to find Rhiannon and Joe snuggled on the couch together, mumbling incoherently about whatever was on Joe's mind, and knowing him that could be anything. They looked like they were enjoying each other's company, until Leonie yanked Rhiannon off Joe and pulled her to where Laken was, which was far away from Kevin. Though by the look on her face, not far enough.
I saw Leonie begin, in a hushed tone, to tell Rhi and Laken about what happened. I knew exactly which part she was explaining with everything because she acted a lot of things out. Like, Charlotte's shocked face when I stepped out, which made me laugh silently. Then she pointed ever so slightly to me, and Rhi and Laken looked over apologetically. I guess something along the lines of 'He's the biggest jerk on this planet, I'll never forgive him,' came out of her mouth. And now there was this Jason guy.
My life sucks! Next Laken started talking animatedly. I know I heard the words Kevin, kiss, and dump. Then finally Laken's screaming voice,
"IT WAS NOT A SEXCAPADE!" I had to laugh, and Joe laughed too but Kevin looked totally embarrassed as he looked down. Uh oh, were some promises broken here?
