I stepped into the rink and glided towards the wall. Its been awhile since I've been ice skating- around five years to be exact. My brothers would have this contest to see who could trip me the most. So yes, memories of my face colliding with the ice still haunt me, but I do love the feeling of effortlessly moving across the ground. Interrupting my thoughts, Joe slammed into the wall next to me.

"Sorry, haven't figured out where the breaks are in this thing," Joe said as he looked at his skates.

"There's no breaks, Joe," I giggled. I had gotten to know Joe more over the past couple of days. He would come to the office before Demi got there to lay an anonymous bouquet of flowers on her desk. Afterwards, we would both have coffee in the break room after which I went to work.

"Well, Miley, then how do you stop?" I smacked him when he let out a huge grin to let me know he was joking.

"Where's Nick?" I asked out of curiosity. Not that I wanted to see his handsome face on a Saturday. No, that would definitely not be the reason at all.

"Why?" Joe asked smirking. "Do you have the hots for my brother?e

"Who says hots anymore?" I countered, avoiding the question.

"He's engaged," Joe pointed out, completely ignoring my insult.

"I know. I don't like him like that. I just wanted to see if he was going to actually come."

"Good, because he likes you. And if you liked him back we would have a major problemo on our hands senorita." I rolled my eyes as I took it for granted that Joe was joking. "You think I'm joking?"

"Yeah, Nick is getting married. He wouldn't like a girl he's met like five days ago."

"Um, he listens to you," Joe pointed out like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Because I might actually sound logical sometimes unlike you," I left Joe with that thought as Nick came tumbling over to us.

"Remind me why I came in the first place," Nick gasped out. He clutched the wall for dear life. With that messy head of curls, he looked like an adorable puppy. I should shake these thoughts from my head before my heart starts to melt.

"Here I'll teach you," I said, holding out my hand. Nick violently shook his head.

"There's no way in Jonas Press I'm going out there." For once in the week that I've known Nick he actually looks like a twenty year old.

"Wow, referring to your work place as hell. That's gotten to a whole new level of dedication," chuckled Joe. I glared at him as he was getting off topic.

"Come on, I'm not going to let you fall," I snapped at Nick. He titled his head to look at me. Why does he keep doing that? Does he want me to slam him against a wall and kiss him senselessly? Huh?

"Someone is getting a little feisty," Nick joked as he took a hold of my hand. This was the first physical contact I've ever had with Nick. And let me tell you, it felt good. His hands were like velvet as he held tightly on to my hand almost tugging off the bracelet that hung onto the lower part of my wrist. I skated over to the middle of the rink slowly, as Nick glided along with me.

"See, you're getting the hang of it," I smiled at him. He shook his head, allowing a grin to appear onto his face. I took a hold of both his hands as I skated backwards, facing him. "Okay now just keep kicking off with alternating feet, kind of like how you walk."

"What about this is anything like how you walk," Nick retorted.

"Okay, ignore that part," I laughed. "Wait, you're getting it!" I exclaimed as Nick started to skate. He nodded in agreement as he started to pick up speed. I guess, we both weren't paying attention to where we were going because in moments my back collided against the wall and Nick collided into me.

"Sorry, you never taught me how to break," he grinned sheepishly.

"Its okay," I breathed, fully aware of our close proximity. His hands were on either side of me resting against the wall. Our chests were touching and our lips were millimeters apart. His nose brushed against mine as he turned is head to scan the rink, still not moving from the position we were in.

"Um, so I don't know how to get out of this," Nick turned a shade of scarlet.

"Oh," I said, disappointed that that was the reason why he didn't movie. "I'll just," I explained as I ducked under his arms and untangled myself from him. "Do that."

"Good idea," Nick said awkwardly. I probably just imagined this, but I thought I saw a look of disappointment etched across his face. I shivered from the loss of contact. Nick must have thought I was cold. "You cold? Here, take this," he said as he slipped off his jacket. Yeah, the last thing I need from him right now is to be Prince Charming at the moment. I took the jacket silently and put it on.

"You should try it by yourself," I said as I skated a little away from him. The farther the distance right now, the better. Joe's words "he's engaged" rang through head as Nick started to skate towards me. Each foot he became closer, I skated a foot back. After noticing this a couple of times, Nick frowned.

"That's not fair!" he exclaimed. We were almost in the middle of the rink.

"Okay, just a few more feet. I promise," I smiled an innocent smile. I guess he believed me because he stopped complaining. Poor, innocent boy, I kept skating back as he skated forward. He shook his head as I gave him a devilish smile.

"Devil," he muttered under his breath, loud enough so I could hear him. I threw my head back and laughed. This time I looked back before I got to the wall so the incident wouldn't repeat itself. I moved a little to the left so Nick could dock himself.

"I guess, my job is finished," I beamed. I turned around to look for Demi and Emily. Its for the best if I just keep my distance for today.

A/N I think this chapter came out actually how I wanted it. I was planning on bring Selena in, but the Niley moment seemed to be bigger then I intended to write it and her entering just didn't seem to fit in anywhere. So, this was a little christmasy update for today! (= Merry Christmas! I hope you like the Chapter!!! Oh, and this story is rated M for a reason..that will pop up in a couple more chapters? =P
