Thanks a lot for all your reviews. I know Mel and Joe haven't admitted their feelings for each other, yet. But they will, soon. I hope it happens fast (in the show).

I don't own Melissa and Joey. If I did, I'd be a freaking billionaire.

Mel

"Tell me everything. Did you guys kiss, did you tell him how you feel? Did you…"
"Hold on, Stephanie. Can I just tell you what happened and then you can ask me all your questions, okay?"
"Yeah, sure"

Then I told her about how we almost kissed and the doctor interrupted us.

"I think he knows about how I feel about him, because I started to cry when I turned over. That's so lame right? And I think he heard me crying."

And then I told her about how I snapped at him.

"And then…. he kissed me."

After that I just waited for her reaction. And the reaction was… "you kissed! You kissed! You kissed! Oh my god, you kissed! Do you know what this means, Mel? You and Joe are a couple now. Oh my god, you guys are so in love, are you sure he won't ask you to marry him? I could be your maid of honor. We could have a June wedding, we could…."
"Can you calm down, Stephanie? This doesn't mean anything. Actually, I don't know what it means. We haven't had a chance to talk about it, because…. you know."
"What? Because?"
"Because I almost died. And when I woke up, screaming, that's another story, I'll tell you later" I said when she was about to say something "He was really worried, and then…."
"And then what?"
"And then he kissed me. And after he pulled away, he had tears in his eyes. Can you believe that?"
"Wow, Ryder was not lying. I don't think he would kiss you two times and not make it mean something. I think you should talk to him about it. And please, just tell him. If I had this chance, I would hold onto it and never let go."
"I don't know if that's a good idea. What if he doesn't feel the same way? And I think he kissed me because of all that's going on, you know the accident and all. C'mon, Joe Longo, my nanny, can't have feelings for me. He's Joe Longo, whenever people say we're married, he snaps so quickly that I can't even blink."
"You would know for sure if you talked to him. And I forgot to ask, what was with all the hand holding?"
"I'm not sure. God, when did everything become so complicated?"
"He was the one who took your hand, right? That's what I saw, at least. He has feelings for you, Mel."
"What? You got all that, just because he took my hand?"
"If he doesn't have feelings for you, it's something else. He would never do that if he just wanted to be friends. Maybe he's dying."
"Stephanie, you should really think stuff through, before you say them. Joe's not dying. If he was, he would give me a memo to get a new nanny."
"Oh crap, I need to go. There's a meeting. A meeting that you should be attending. Work's really piling up, since the accident. Ok, I gotta go"
"Yeah, bye"

Joe

I have no idea what to tell Mel, about all the kisses and the hand holding. I cant tell her the real reason, she'll freak out and probably fire me. But we need to talk about it, before it gets even weirder. Maybe I can practice saying it to a picture of her, then it'll be easier when it actually happens. I have a picture of her somewhere in my phone. Here it is, wow, she's so beautiful. Focus, Longo.

We need to about this, Burke. About me kissing you. God, if it were actually this easy, telling her, right now I'm just thinking it.

"Hey Joe, why are you staring at a picture of Aunt Mel?" Lennox said, coming out of nowhere.

I'm so screwed now.

I'm sorry that this chapter is so short. The next one will be longer. Chapter 12 wil be the one where Mel comes back home, and something shocking happens, so wait for that one.
