Cute For A Cookie-Cutter Pop Star {Joe Jonas}CHAPTER 4 ~Crazed Fans And A Great Dinner~

My stomach was driving me crazy, I couldn’t sleep at all. Why did I get it pierced? How stupid am I? The guy even told me I can’t bug it for a week or else it would get all gross. But I still got it done, even though I sleep on my stomach at night…I’m an idiot.

I wish I was like Carly and got my tongue pierced, although Joe might have fainted once I got it done like Kevin did with Carly. That was awesome. I cant believe that, I wish I saw him pass out though instead of hearing about Carly’s booming laughter about it from the other room.

I groaned and rolled over onto my side wrapping myself in my blankets as well. I was so not sleeping tonight. I peaked over at the alarm clock Nick has near his bed. It was 4:35? No way! That sucks, its almost five in the morning and I still haven’t fallen asleep.

To make things worse we all forgot about the fact that we have to wake up and nine today, and we didn’t sneak back in the bus till almost one.

I think it was worth it though, I mean I just found out that Joe likes me. Joe Jonas! Okay ew, I’m sounding like a fangirl. Just lovely. But he does, he likes me, and not even that he might be in love with me. Wow! He is such a good guy, good looking too. Hilarious, charming, childish - in a good way - and so much more that makes my heart beat furiously.

I decided to give myself the satisfaction of sneaking a look at him. Just one, maybe then I can fall asleep. I nodded to myself, I really have a problem with that and lifted myself over the railing that kept me from rolling off the top bunk.

Underneath me where Joe usually sleeps laid nothing. Wait what? That’s not right. I squeezed my eyes shut then fluttered them open hoping he would be there. Nothing. Where the hell is he?

I jumped out of my top bunk silently and stood next to our bunk bed. Staring at the spot Joe was suppose to be in. I know it was childish but I started looking under the blankets and the bed for him. Still nothing.

I crept out of our room and looked in the ‘living room’ then the kitchen. The bathroom door was wide open so I knew he wasn’t in there. Where the hell is he?

Then I heard the most beautiful voice from outside. I knew that voice. It was Joe’s. I pulled my messy hair into a loose ponytail and crept outside in my Power Puff Girls slippers.

Joe was sitting on a picnic table we dragged over near are bus so we could eat outside on nice days. His lovely voice was flowing around the abandoned parking lot. I shut the bus door quietly and snuck over to him.

Hey, that’s my song. How does he know it? And why is he singing it?

Oh yeah, I sang that in the mall that one day. In the music store, playing on the piano. How does he remember it?

Wow, he makes my song sound so beautiful. I’m getting chills. Who knew he could sing songs like these. It’s absolutely beautiful. I waited for the rest of the song but heard nothing. I frowned what is taking him so long?

“Mal?”

Oh shit, I opened my eyes just realizing that I closed them while listening to him and looked over at him. He was staring straight at me.

“Uh hi” I chirped walking over and taking a seat next to him.

“What are you doing up this late?”

“I could ask you the same thing” I laughed looking straight ahead at the sky that seemed to be brightening up. “Why were you singing that song?”

“Because I liked it a lot” he shrugged, I closed my eyes breathing in the fresh morning air and the scent Joe gave off.

“Aren’t you tired?” I asked him. He shook his head and continued watching the sky but then he yawned. I turned and eyed him suspiciously. “I think you’re a liar”

I jumped up from the bench feeling Joe’s brown eyes stare at me as I rushed back into the bus and pulled off a blanket from the couch. I wrapped it around myself and ran back outside hopping back on the bench next to Joe.

“Here” I smiled wrapping on half of the blanket around him and snuggling up closer. Joe was completely tense and quiet. I looked up at him, his eyes were closed and he had a blush across his cheeks.

I smiled to myself and laid my head on his shoulder closing my eyes as well. Just enjoying this moment, nothing could make it more perfect. Joe shook his head making my head bounce off his shoulder. I looked up at him with furrowed eyebrows, I was enjoying my position.

His eyes were still closed, his fist were clenched, his head kept on shaking back and forth. He looked like he was arguing with himself in his head. Then he stopped, completely. I took this moment to rest my head back on his shoulder. Bringing back my perfect moment.

“Malory” he whispered my full name, which non of my friends do unless its absolutely important “I..”

I waited for a minute for him to finish his sentence, he didn’t though. “Joe?” I called trying to push him to continue.

“I-I” he continued again I picked my head up and looked him straight in the eyes waiting for him to finish. “I love you!” he blurted out.

My eyes went wide as I looked over at him. Did he just - Did he admit his - Joe Jonas said he - HE LOVES ME!

I smiled wide over at him and wrapped him in a huge hug, burying my head in his shoulder. “Will you be to afraid to fall in love with me?” he asked silently.

I picked my head up again and squeezed his nose between my thumb and index finger. “I trust you” I smiled and brought my head back to its regular position and closed my eyes again.

Then I felt his arm snake around my waist. His fingers brushing up and down the side of my stomach. It was so relaxing. I lied when I said nothing could make this moment more perfect, and then BAM Joe goes and says he loves me. Now this is absolutely pure bliss.

My eyes fluttered open instantly shutting them again from the blinding light. Was I guessed my eyes had adjust I opened them again. I don’t ever remembering it being this bright in our room.

All around me I could hear the song of the birds around us, a small breeze brushed across my face. That’s when I realized, I wasn’t in my room. I was outside. I lifted my body up but didn’t get up enough because someone had their arm tightly wrapped around my waist.

I rolled my body over and came face chest with Joe. Holly. Fuckin. Shit. Joe and I - Me and Joe - Us - Together - Slept out here - Together.

I jolted my head back and looked back at our bodies. Alright were still dressed, that’s good. Although I could never see Joe doing something like that, but me…well I’m a different story.

I rested my head back on his chest, I don’t want to wake him up so I’ll just relax here for a bit. It’s not like anyone will see-

“O-M-G!” someone screamed. Someone I knew all to long, Carly. Damn it, damn it, damn it. This is sooooo bad, and Joe isn’t even awake to back me up.

“Did you just say ‘OMG’?” I asked looking at her as she ran to my side with a shocked face. Her jaw dropped and she pointed at Joe’s arm that was still slugged around my waist.

“YOU AND JOE ARE SLEEPING TOGETHER!” she screamed jumping up and down with her wide eyes and jaw still open it could touch the ground.

“Well if you keep on yelling none of us will be asleep” I mumbled.

“DON’T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!” she screamed louder. Joe’s arm around my waist tighten then loosened I peaked over my shoulder. His eyes were wide open and staring at Carly.

“Carly why are you screaming?” he asked confused shutting and opening his eyes again. Then he looked down at me “Uh Mal why are we sleeping together?” he asked confused.

“I guess we fell asleep” I laughed nervously then adverted my gaze back over to Carly who was still pointing at us. “I think we should get up before Carly pee’s herself” I suggesting picking sitting up and stretching my back. That picnic table was not comfy at all.

“WAIT. UNTIL. I. TELL. NICK. AND. KEVIN” she yelled out again exasperated. I don’t think she’ll ever stop screaming.

“So what’s on today’s agenda?” I asked Joe totally ignoring Carly’s little hissy fit. Joe shrugged and started walking towards the bus with me trailing along.

“I don’t know but whatever it is I’m not doing it until I get some food” he announced stretching his arms with a yawn.

“YOU GUYS WERE SLEEPING TOGETHER AND YOU ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED?”

“Agreed” I said to Joe nodding in agreement. Food sounds awesome right about now. I looked over at Carly from behind my shoulder. “You coming in for breakfast?” I asked her.

“WHAT?!?! BREAKFAST? HOW COULD YOU GUYS EAT AT A TIME LIKE THIS” she hollered.

“There’s chocolate pop tarts” Joe told her letting out another yawn. She stopped stomping her feet and waving her arms in the air and stared down at Joe and I.

“Pop tarts? Well what are we waiting for?” she smiled rushing inside the bus. I looked over at Joe with a sigh.

“She’ll forget about itfor a couple hours” I said, Joe nodded but continued staring at me. I feeling totally awkward switched my weight on my left foot to my right and then back again. “Uh…Joe?”

“So last night really did happen” he whispered, I think more to himself then me. “I thought it was a dream or something” he laughed nervously.

“I’m glad it wasn’t” I smiled up at him, he smiled back as we both walked into the bus. Together…just secretly together. This will be interesting.
