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

“I’m bored!” I whined leaning my head on Nick shoulder, him and I were sitting on his bed while Kevin, Joe, and Carly were on Joe’s.

“Well were not allowed to leave the bus” Kevin informed me, I looked over at him with a frown.

“I don’t get why; I mean we’re not driving or anything, we’re already parked out near the stage” Carly said crossing her arms with a pout. Yay I have someone to whine with me, I knew I could always count on Carls.

“Well that’s what Will told us, so we have to listen to him” Nick said with a hint of sadness in his voice. I smirked and lifted my head off of his shoulder.

“No we don’t” I said, Carly looked over at me with a smug smirk. This night could be fun. “We could always sneak out..”

“Yeah it would be fun, we could go to the beach. No one will be there since its eleven at night” Carly said piping up.

“And no one would have to know because Milo and my dad are gone and by the time they get back they’ll go straight to bed” I explained smiling.

“It’s perfect” Carly said turning to look at Kevin and Joe.

“Too good to pass up”

“So?” we both asked looking over at the guys.

“Well uh…” Kevin stuttered for words, he was having trouble denying Carly’s happiness, he liked her to much. And he knew as well as I did that tonight would be the perfect time to ask her out.

“I don’t know..” Nick said looking away from my and Carly’s pleading stares. They would be easy to bring, they cant say no to us, but Joe he-

“NO!” Joe said firmly crossing his arms. Carly and I looked over at him in shock.

“But Joe-” Carly started.

“No! Will said no, we cant just sneak out we have a concert tomorrow” he said, Nick and Kevin looked at their brother. Oh no they were going to agree with him. I have to stop this.

I jumped up from the bunk and walked over to Joe with a smirk, bending down so I was really close to his face.

“You scared?” I asked with a smug look across my face. Joe glared at me. We were so close to each other, it was shocking I managed to keep my cheeks from turning pink.

“I am not scared!” he declared.

“Afraid of a little excitement and danger?”

“No! As a matter of fact my nickname is ‘Danger’” he informed me matter-of-factly. I pulled away and laughed.

“Well then, Mr. Danger” I laughed putting air quotes on ‘danger’. “Let’s put that nickname to test by coming out with me, Carls and your brothers.”

He looked over at me with thoughtful eyes, he was thinking about it. I got him. Hook line and sinker. All I have to do is reel him in. I bent back down with a flawless smile and flicked his nose.

“Come on, lets go wild” I said in a very seductive tone, Joe’s eyes went wide as he stared me down with a slight blush on his face.

“Fine…” he groaned, I jumped up along with Carly happily.

“Alright lets head out!” Carly smiled grabbing Kevin’s hand and dragging him out of the room. I turned to Joe and Nick under the doorframe.

“Come on lets go guys, its going to be so much fun.”

We managed to sneak out of the bus quietly, which wasn’t that much of a task because no one was in there but us. Me and Carly were running around the dark street with our hands in the shapes of guns.

We were against the wall, the boys were about to turn the corner until I flung my arm against their chest making them lean against the wall like me and Carls. They looked over at me questionably. I poked my head around the corner to see if anyone was there.

“Alright its clear, lets go” I said in a very serious voice, even though me and Carly were just being stupid we took it very seriously. Our stupidity was important to us. Once we all turned the corner we spotted the beach.

“Last one to the beach is a rotten egg” Carly declared running down the street towards the beach, I smirked and followed after her with the boys trailing behind.

Carly was the first one there since she was the first one who left, then me, we both laughed and fell to the ground with smiles on our faces. We didn’t even care who was last, we were to busy rolling around in the sand.

I felt sand fly up once Joe laid down next to me, I smirked and turned over flinging some sand at him. He looked over at me with a shocked expression.

“Mal! What was that for?”

“I wanted your attention” I informed him looking ahead at Nick flirting with some girl who was working at a near by café that was still open. Kevin and Carly were wrestling in the water, so it was just me and Joe.

“You don’t need to throw sand at me to get my attention” he informed me, I laughed and flipped back onto the ground. “So what do you want my attention for?”

“Tell me a secret about you”

“What?”

“Tell me a secret, I don’t care if its stupid, funny, serious. Just tell me a secret” I told him. Joe laughed but then noticed the very serious face I had.

“Ummm..” his eyes traveled everywhere, totally avoiding me and the question.

“Come on Joe, it’s not that hard just tell me a secret” I huffed grabbing his face so his eyes looked over at mine.

“Well you go first then” he whined smothering me with his beautiful brown eyes. I laughed lightly trying to avoid his eyes that could probably make me do anything he pleased. “I snuck out for you.”

“Fine” I huffed and begun searching through my head for something to tell him. “When my dad first brought home Candy I bought a bunch of Barbie dolls, ripped off their heads, shaved off their hair and put them in her bed.”

His laugh rang through my ears, it was like a melody. Something so magical and captivating. “Why?” he asked raising his perfectly groomed eyebrow.

“It was a statement” I informed him simply “A statement saying that I wanted her out of my house.”

“You really don’t like her eh?” he asked me simply. I looked over at him, oh jeez that obvious…

“You’d think it was obvious” I sarcastically joked “It doesn’t matter anyways, it’s your turn.”

“When Nick was born..” he begun so silently I could barely hear him, I shimmied my body over closer to his “I wanted him to be a girl so badly, like a little sister I could protect and stuff that I used to dress him in girl clothes.”

Laugher busted from my lips as they formed into a smile. “My poor Nicky” Joe looked over at me with a smirk.

“Your turn” he pushed, I lifted my head up a bit and watched Carly and Kevin still playing in the ocean. They really would make a great couple, and I’ve never seen Carly so happy.

But yet nobody ever seen me so happy when I was with Bobby. A frown came to my face as I rested my head back on the sand looking into Joe’s eyes once more.

“There is only two things in this world that scare me. One pretty pathetic, the other one quite comical” I told him silently.

“What are they?”

“I’m afraid of clowns, they scare the hell out of me” Joe laughed rolling from his side to his back and to his side again “And to fall in love.”

Joe’s laughter stopped as he looked over at me confused. Our stare adverted from each other, the tension was intense.

“Why?” he finally asked, his voice was soft and covered in confusion. I sighed, I knew this question would come up eventually.

“Awhile back I was with this guy, Bobby. He was a guitar player in this hardcore Indy band that Carly and I used to go see all the time. We talked to the drummer one night after the concert and he invited us to a party, so we went to hang with the band then headed to the party. Bobby and I basically hit it off I guess you could say.

We ended up becoming really close friends and spent a lot of our time together, then we hooked up. He was the first guy I’ve loved, we were together for a couple years until one day….he met mini Candy. She was really pretty, I have to admit. Kind of like the whole airbrushed magazine model in real life.

He cheated on me for half a year until I finally caught him, then we broke up. Very dramatic break up I might add. So I’m afraid of falling in love again, in fear that the guy might cheat on me when someone more beautiful comes along” I explained to him looking away from his eyes.

I turned back over to stare into his brown eyes after a few moments of calming my emotions. “What about you, have you ever been in love?”

It was a simple question but yet held so much difficulty. It was like one of those hard questions that seem so easy.

“I think” he answered weakly.

“How do you think? It’s a yes or no question”

“Well I think I’m in love” he answered silently. I looked over at him with hurt eyes. He’s in love? With who?

“Who is it?” I asked trying to sound all buddy like. I rolled over closer to him and poked his nose with a smile - which was totally fake.

“I’m not telling!” he cried dramatically pushing my finger off his nose. He looked deep into my eyes as I stared back into his. “Truth or dare?”

“What?” I had to admit I was slightly taken back. I kind of thought he was going to admit his love to me right there. I mean the atmosphere, the eye connection…I guess I read to many love novels.

“Truth or Dare, pick one”

“Um…truth” I answered, I don’t know what he was up to but I wanted to be on the safe side until I figured it out.

“Do you like anyone?”

“Well of course I do, I like a lot of people.”

“No” he said “I mean like like, like as in more then a friend kinda like.”

“Oh!” I mused rolling back onto my back and looking up at the stars “yeah I do.”

“Who?” he asked suddenly interested. I turned back over to my side with a smirk.

“I’m not telling you” I laughed “unless…you tell me who you think you love.” It was a good request I thought, we’d both come clean about are feelings. Although I’m not the one he thinks he loves I think it would make me feel better if I got this off my chest.

He thought about it for a couple of minutes while I waited for his answer. “Alright, we will say the name of the person we like on the count of 3.”

I nodded my head in agreement. “One.”

“Two” he whispered.

I tried to swallow the knot that was in my throat. “Three.”

“You like me?” he asked in a astonishing whisper. I looked away from him and his beautifully shocked face.

“Truth or dare” I croaked looking up at the sky.

“Dare.”

I’m glad he picked that. I turned back over onto my side and looked him deep in the eyes. “Kiss me.”

His eyes went wide at my request. I felt his fingers brush along my jaw line as he closed in the space separating us. My eyes begun to close like his as our faces were inching towards each other.

I felt his cool breath against my lips and it was raising up my heart beat. All I wanted to do was grab his face and slam my lips onto his.

“MAL!” a voice screamed, instantly Joe and I parted from each other hiding the fact that they just ruined our almost kiss “LET’S GO GET PIERCED” I looked up to see Carly dragging Kevin over to us.

“What are you talking about?” I hissed, I have to admit I was pretty angry. I was so damn close to kissing Joe, and she goes and opens her huge mouth and ruins it.

“There’s a tattoo parlour over there” she smiled pointing over to a small tattoo shop that offered piercing. I would actually like to get my belly done.

“Alright” I smiled, I sat up and pulled Joe along with me as Carly and I ran over to the tattoo shop.

At least this might get my mind off of Joe. And his body pressed against mine. His cool breath against my face. His fingers grazing my jaw line. Alright, I wont get my mind off of that. It’s impossible…
