Chapter 20: Future

Next morning, i woke up and felt strange. Something was beating inside of me, my heart was rushing and i could feel or well, I was feeling this feeling, HA, don't blame me but.., I think it was love, for the very first time I was really, truly and irrevocably in love with a guy named Joseph Adam Jonas. I think I'm gonna marry him. Don't take it as a rush, but I feel inside he's my prince charming, just like fairy tales, and YES I know they don't exist and that Miley's the dreamer but I can tell, I have this special feeling when I'm with him. It's been 12 months since we got back together, same with Nick and Miley. This had been the best 5 months in the entire 17 years I've lived. He makes everything better and he just makes that by being himself, goofy, sometimes cranky, ticklish, kind, loving and caring. He's the guy any girl would dream of, or even want to be her husband.

The door knocking pushed away my thoughts about my future with Joe. I went downstairs and opened the door. Guess who was it?

"Hey love" Joe kissed me and walked in. I noticed he had a bunch of roses in his hand, enveloped in pink transparent paper.

"Awww, is that for me?" I asked looking up at his eyes. They were shinier than they usually are.

"No, they're for your mom.." Yah right. Again, as I said; always goofy, funny mood. "Haha, joking. Of course they are for you honey. Today is our anniversary. A year ago, we started dating."

His words really hit me. We've been together for a year. This meant 12 months. This meant 52 weeks. This meant 365 days. And who knows how many hours, minutes and seconds. The deal was AN ANNIVERSARY. And I loved him since the very first day. We've had ups and downs but, we've never lost the love inside of us.

"Happy anniversary Joey" I hugged him as I put my head right next where his heart should be.

"Stop calling me Joey. You know it freaks me out." He moaned.

I laughed and said "Well, you'll always be my Joey. Like it or not" I smirked and we both sat in the couch.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me you were coming over. I'm in my PJ's Joe. And look at my hair, it's just a mess." I complained to him. He NEVER NEVER tells me when he's coming over. Once I was trying a new make up style that turned out wrong and he came. He laughed as hard as he could; I think he even did the LMAO thing but for real.

"It's a beautiful mess for me" he stroked my tousled hair while I held his hand close to my heart.

We stayed there talking, laughing and loving each other even more than we ever could. My mom wasn't home as usual, she was working and it was summer vacation so we had the entire afternoon just for both of us. I was getting near to his lips, about to kiss him when the bell rang. I rolled my eyes and he laughed about it.

"I hate it" I complained once again.

"Don't worry. My lips aren't going anywhere" he winked as he saw my big grin while walking to get the door. I opened it and it was no surprise who was it.

"DEMI!" Miley's voice sounded tired. She told me she had been working in her new record. It's gonna be called "Can't Be Tamed" she says it's gonna be epic while I'm getting focused on my acting skills while filming the 1st season of Sonny with a Chance. Oh right, we're part of the Disney Family now, forgot to tell you guys.

"Hey Miley, long time no talk" I sarcastically said.

"Ha-Ha very funny. We talked yesterday night. Are you going to Taylor's Smith birthday party tonight?" she asked. I know, Taylor Smith is one of the most famous teenagers around the world. She owns like a million Hotels in the U.S. without talking on count the ones in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. Yeah don't forget Australia. That kid was multimillionaire and Miley met her at a Movie Premiere. I wasn't that into her but oh well, since me and Miley were like "Memi" a nickname paps gave us for hanging out a lot, she had to invite me too.

"Yeah, about that. I don't think so…" I looked down trying to avoid Miley's furious look at me.

"Demi…" she made a pause, waiting for me to look up so I did. "Please. For me? Go with Joe. All the Jonas Brothers are invited, including their girlfriends and wife." Got that? Yeah. Kevin got married with Danielle Deith last month. Who knew if there was going to be another wedding any time soon.

"FINE." I finally replied and she jumped all over me to hug me and whispered. "Thanks Dem, that's one of the MILLION of reasons why I love you.." she sat in the couch with Joe.

"JOEY. Sorry for not saying hello, I didn't see you" she giggled while Joe just said "No Joey please." Miley smirked and started telling Joe about her new album. She seemed so excited that I took advantage of that and went upstairs. I took a shower, changed clothes and just combed my hair. There was no time for make up or doing my hair. I was still in shock me and Joe were celebrating our first anniversary. It seemed surreal for me to have a long-time relationship.

Finally when I went downstairs Miley was gone. I asked Joe why she left and he said that she had to get herself prepared for the big night. She was way too excited for that stupid Taylor party.

"So… apparently, I'm gonna have to wear a tuxedo tonight, right?" Joe laughed and kissed my forehead.

I groaned at the fact that him wearing a tuxedo meant I was supposed to wear a formal dress. He kept laughing and ended "I'm sure you'll look gorgeous honey." He pressed his lips against mine with a strong movement, but I stopped him.

"We're gonna lose our reservations at the restaurant baby." He giggled and we went directly to his car.

He had made reservations to this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. I thought he was going to take me to the fanciest restaurant in L.A. Surprisingly, he didn't. We pulled over at this restaurant in the middle of the woods; it seemed different but familiar at the same time. I could feel I knew the place.

"Where are we honey?" I asked while he held my hand and started walking.

"You'll see."

We kept walking and it felt like forever. My shoes were full with mud but I didn't mind because I could sense something in that place. I could sense love; I could feel a feeling I had before. We finally got to this little lake with a table in the center. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Yes. It was the place where he asked me to be his girlfriend for the 1st time and the second time. (y'know for the big fight)

"Oh my God" I covered my mouth with my hands because of the excitement. He gazed at me and rounded me with his arm.

"Happy 1st anniversary honey. Let's say this is gonna be the 1st one of a LOT MORE..." he whispered into my ear.

My smile literally ate my face at that point that I turned around and kissed him. It was short, but sweet. It was something to remember. He helped me get into the canoe and we got to the place where the chair was. It was all prepared in the sweetest way ever. I wanted to cry but instead I just laughed at everything he said and tried to appreciate and enjoy every moment I had with him. He was everything I always dreamed of, he was perfect.

After having lunch, we took a short walk and it started raining. It reminded me of the time he asked me out for the second time after the whole drama. But he didn't run this time. He stopped under the rain and looked at me with love.

"Demi…" he started talking to me under the rain.

"What happened honey?" I didn't understand why he wouldn't run. We will catch a cold!

"I have something that I want to do but I don't know how to start…"

"What? Joe you're freaking me out. What's happening?" I crossed my arms and he knelt in front of me. I got scared, no lie.

"Demetria Lovato, I've been carrying this box during this entire week in my pocket, searching for the perfect time to ask you this, for the perfect moment… and this is it…"

I stood there paralyzed when he held my hand and opened the black box he had in his left hand.

"Demetria Lovato… will you marry me?"

And that was when I knew, my life was complete.
