CHAPTER FOURTEEN
"Hi." I smiled shyly as I walked over to Joe. Lorraine had woken up not too long ago and was happilly eating her fruit breakfast so Lilly took the opportunity to pester me into finding out what Joe was doing.
"Hey." Joe grinned at me, dropping the tree he'd been moving.
"Water?" I offered, holding out a bottle. I had to look away when he took and tipped his head back, drinking. God, he's sexy.
"Like the view?" Joe teased when he caught me staring.
"Immensely." I hummed, licking my lips as my eyes followed a particular bead of sweat own his chest, through his light smattering of hair that was his Treasure Trail. and ending at his cargo shorts.
"Not too bad for me either." Joe smirked down at me.
"Flirt." I accused.
"Says the woman whose been making fuck-me eyes at me all morning?" He shot back and I flushed.
"Not my fault." I mumbled, embarassed. "You're the one running around half naked."
"Had to get your attention somehow." He pushed his fingers through his sweaty mess of hair to get it out of his eyes.
"What are you doing here anyway?" I finally asked, looking around at the growing pile of plane metal and fallen trees.
"Working." Joe answered simply.
"Working on what?" I rolled my eyes and he laughed.
"Surprise." He shrugged innocently.
"Tell me?" I requested sweetly.
"Not yet, Babe." He denied with a smirk.
"Jooeeyy." I whined, pouting, earning another hearty laugh.
"If I tell you will you stop pouting?" Joe asked, I nodded, exagerating my puppy dog eyes. "Then I'm definately not going to tell you; you're too fucking adorable when you pout."
"Hey." I stomped my foot in protest.
"Sorry, Babe, but it's a surprise." Joe shrugged, but he wasn't really sorry, if he was he'd tell me. "I promise you'll like it." He tried to appease me and my pout deepened. "If it works I promise you'll like it, Babe, but if it doesn't then you won't need to know how bad I fucked up." He kissed me lightly on the lips. "Now, have you seen that architect running around anywhere?" He scratched his head and looked around.
"No." I grumbled, crossing my arms petulantly.
"Besides, if we're rescued soon then it won't even matter what it was." He dismissed. "Yo, Archi-Ted!" Joe calle out when he spotted architect Ted.
"Humph." I stomped my foot again as Joe walked over to Ted before I started back to Lilly and the kids.
"So?" Lilly asked expectantly.
"He won't tell me." I pouted, sitting down.
"Did you ask him?" Lilly questioned and I rolled my eyes.
"Yes." I answered patiently.
"But, he's so smitten for you I was sure he'd tell you." Lilly looked confused.
"Well, he didn't." I huffed childishly. "He said it's a surprise and then went off to find Ted."
"Okay, we're crashed on a stranded island and the boy is still building you a freaking surprise." Lilly shook her head in disbelief. "He's got it bad."
"He never said it was for me." I denied, blushing. "He just said it was a surprise."
"Oh please, Jonas Brother is so gaga for you, he wouldn't build anything for anyone else... Unless it was a torture machine for Hanson."
"He wouldn't build something for that." I shook my head in a matter-of-fat manner. "He'd do it with his fists, feel the rush of the violence in his blood..."
"I don't know why that sounds so hot." Lilly mused with a shudder.
"Hey, keep your mind on Ollie-pop. Joe is mine." I couldn't explain the sudden rush of possessiveness.
"Ollie is probably worried sick about us." Lilly sighed sadly. "I was supposed to call him as soon as we landed."
"I was supposed to call Dad." What was Dad doing right now?
"Well, that's something in our favor." Lilly said, "your Dad would have his own search party out for you, and half of Tennessee... Probably half the country looking for you."
"And you, Lil, he loves you like a daughter too." I insisted softly.
"Yeah, but he'd move Heaven and Hell for you and Jackson, and both your grandmothers actually scare me a little." She admitted and I laughed.
"Dad used to say I got the temper of a red-head from them." I shook my head.
"From the way you were ready to go at Hanson yesterday I'd believe it." Lilly scoffed and I rolled my eyes.
"He was being an ass." I tried to defend myself.
"He was being an ass." Lilly nodded, though she was smirking. "Or he was being an ass to Joe?"
"How did we get back onto Joe?" I wondered alloud.
"That would imply you were on him. Just admit you want him." Lilly snickered.
"Why would Miley be on Joe?" Will piped up, making both me and Lilly go silent. "What does she want him to do?"
"Yeah, Lilly, why would I be on Joe?" I shot her a triumphant look.
"'Cause he'd probably be into Cowgirl style." Lilly muttered lowly. "And, Cowgirl, he'd be in you."
"Miley's gonna eat Joe?" Will gasped, horrified.
"What? No." I quickly denied. "Why would you think that, Will?"
"'Cause how else would Joe be inside you if you didn't eat him?" Lilly and I shared a look. How the Hell were we supposed to answer something like that? We really needed to learn to control our conversations, especially around the kids.
"And how do you eat Cowgirl style?" Sean added, furrowing his brow in confussion. "Is it, like, you eat on a horse? 'Cause wouldn't it be hard to eat a person if you were on a horse?"
"You can't eat Joe, Miley, you can't." Lorraine insisted, looking up at me pleadingly.
"Nobody is eating anybody." I assured Lorraine.
"Who's eating who?" Joe came over right then after finishing talking to architect Ted.
"Lilly says Miley's gonna eat you." Lorrain threw herself at a bewildered looking Joe.
"They don't understand the context and thought I meant she was gonna eat you on a horse." Lilly explained.
"What could you say that could possibly be taken in that way?" Joe asked, sitting next to me. "It's okay, Rai, I swear, Miley doesn't want to eat me." He cooed to the little blond girl clinging to him.
"Yeah, Lil." I shot at her, flushing red. "What did you say that could be taken to mean I want to eat Joe on a horse?" I asked her playfully.
"And that he'd like it." Sean chimed in and I flushed. Somehow, I don't think Joe would complain at me riding him Cowgirl style.
"Just a slight comment." Lilly hummed, turning pink too. "About how you'd like it Cowgirl." Joe's eyes went comically wide and his cheeks tinted as well.
"On that note." Joe cleared his throat and pointedly tried not to look at me as he turned to the boys. "You guys wanna help me with something super secret and special?" He asked the brothers.
"Hey." I pouted, crossing my arms over my chest. "How come they get to know and not me?"
"Because." Joe said as if it were obvious and I was the only one not seeing the reasoning. "It's super secret to you. And they're gonna be my super secret agents."
"Like a spy?" Will asked excitedly.
"Not just a spy." Joe beckoned them in closer with a grin. "Like the spy; Bond. James Bond."
"Yeah!" Sean and Will high-fived and I smiled at them. Even in the midst of a freaking plane crash they could still be kids.
"And you, my little Cowgirl." Joe turned to me. "You can be my sexy Bond girl." I blushed under his dark gaze and looked away shyly.
"What 'bout me, Joe?" Lorraine asked, still sitting in his lap and clinging to him. Afraid I would eat him.
"Secret Agent Double-O-Four, you have a special mission." He stood Lorraine in front of him serriously. He was great with kids, I mused to myself.
"What?" Lorraine asked, wide-eyed and eager. Joe leaned in and whispered in her ear, and despite trying as hard as I could I couldn't hear what he was telling her.
"Do you accept this mission, Double-O-Four?" Joe asked her when he sat back.
"Uh huh." Lorraine nodded excitedly.
A
"So, what are you gonna do when we get rescued?" Lilly asked after lunch when Lorraine was napping and Joe was still off with the boys, a couple of other guys and architect Ted.
"Never get on another plane ever again, that's for sure." I muttered, looking out over the ocean. It looked so innocent
"I meant about you and Joe." Lilly rolled her eyes at me.
"I don't know." I admitted softly. "We can't just be like before." Before the crash, before the flight... Before the text after Graduation even?
"Miles, I love you, you know that, right?" Lilly questioned and I smiled.
"Yeah, I love you too, Lils."
"Miles, I know you really like him, and he's Joe freaking Jonas, but this is going really fast." Lilly worried and I sighed. "I mean, I know I pester you for the deets, but I don't want him to hurt you."
"I won't get hurt, Lil, I promise." I told her, the way Joe was acing, so damaged and broken, I think it was more likely that I'd hurt him.
"Make sure he doesn't." Lilly said, "I'd hate to have to hurt a Jonas Brother."
"You know you wouldn't beat up Joe." I smirked at her knowingly. "One look in those big puppy dog brown eyes with just a hint of gold and green and..." I sighed, making Lilly laugh.
"Was there a point to that or did you just wanna gush over Joe's eyes?"
"One look in those eyes and you'd be putty in his hands, just like me." I smiled, just thinking about his eyes made me feel warm inside. "He's like a giant teddy bear with his big brown eyes and his messy black hair... Except he hugs back."
"Girl, you got it bad." Lilly shook her head. "Which makes my threat to the rockstar double up. He hurts you and I'll have to hurt him... Though I'd really rather not have to hurt him, so if youc could pass that message along and make sure you don't get hut, that would be awesome."
"I'll be sure to tell him." I rolled my eyes.
"Will that be before or after you're finished making the 'fuck-me' eyes at him?" She raised an eyebrow at me and I blushed.
"Sweet niblets! It's not my fault he's so dang sexy." I tried to defend myself. As if he knew we were talking Joe looked over at us and smirked. What was he building that had him in such a good mood?
"Hmm, no I guess not." Lilly agreed, watching him as well. "Who dod we blame for that?"
"Divine intervention?" I suggested with a shrug, absently licking my lips. "'Cause dang is he divine."
"I get it, Miles." Lilly laughed, rolling her eyes. "You're hot for the rockstar."
"Miwey..." Lorraine mumbled, starting to wake up, putting an end to our conversation; we did not need a repeat of this morning. Apparently Joe's special mission for Lorraine was for her to make sure I didn't get to find out what Joe was building.
"I'm here, Baby." I assured, she had nightmares, and I didn't know what to do except comfort her. It wasn't at night that she had the nightmares, just during her naps in the day.
"Where Joe?" Lorraine asked, sitting up, rubbing her eyes, her bottom lip trembling. The thing with her nightmares was she didn't toss or turn or make any noise or anything so we never knew when she was having them.
"You wanna go see Joe?" I cooed as she crawled into my lap sleepilly.
"Uh huh." Lorrain burried her face in my neck as I stood up.
"Okay, Princess." I stood up after Lilly kissed her little cheek and smiled sadly.
"Hey, what's up?" Joe met us half-way, concern covering his handsome face.
"Joe!" Lorraine threw herself at him again.
"I got you, Baby." Joe assured, rubbing her little back. "What's the matter?"
"Bad dream." Lorraine whispered so softly I could barely hear her.
"Do you think they'll ever stop for her?" Joe asked me, rocking Lorraine lightly.
"Will they stop for us?" I replied as Lorraine stuck her thumb in her mouth.
