A Simple Love Story. Not!

Christmas and New Years passed, sadly, and it was going on exactly one month since the boys left. Joe and I had talked....everyday. Well, almost everyday. If he couldn't call me, he'd text me.

That's a form of talking right?

Anyways, we talked everyday....and so did Nick and Ally, and Kevin and Liz. It was so cute too. Nick finally admitted that he liked my sister. And Ally finally admitted that she liked Nick. But before you get all excited and giggly that they are a couple now....they didn't admit it to each other. Nick admitted it to Joe and Ally admitted it to me. And then Joe and I told each other. Nick didn't want to say anything to Ally about it over the phone. He thought it would be more appropriate if he told her face to face, so he was going to wait until the moment. Kevin and Liz...they were practically dating. But just like Nick, he wasn't actually going to do anything until they were face to face. But Joe and I....

Le sigh.

Ok..so maybe my feelings for him got a little more than the 'I like you more than a friend' stage. But that didn't mean I loved him. So my feelings went into the 'unaccoutable' feeling stage. I didn't know what I was feeling for him. But I did know that I wanted to be in a relationship again.

But with him.

Yes...I wanted to actually possibly date my best friend. He was perfect, as close as humanly possible anyways. But that didn't matter. He was perfect in my eyes. He always made me smile, and laugh and blush. Yeah.....that Mr. Joseph Adam Jonas is a charmer ladies and gentleman. Watch out for that one. But then agian, who am I to talk? I flirted with him just as much as he flirted with me. But it really sucked not being able to see eachother. Although, I did understand. He loved doing what he was doing and there was nothing that he would give up for it. And totally backed him up with it. I wouldn't want him to give it up. He was born for performing with his brothers.

"Well, it's getting close to that time! I think you should go get ready and then I'll talk to you later." Joe said to me, and I could hear the big cheesy smile on his face.

I checked my clock quickly and rolled my eyes before answering him back. "You know that I could talk to you for a little while longer. I don't take that long to get ready, you know that. I just need a half hour and I'm good to go." I stated and a smile came onto my face, and idea popping into my head.

"Well that's because you're so natu-" he started but I cut him off quickly by saying "OH! That's why...ok...." and let it trail off.

So...I knew that Joe was going to compliment me, but come on...I wanted to have a little fun with him for once besides blatantly hitting on each other.

"What's why?" he asked me and I could just picture those beautiful features of his contort into a look of confusion.

"You're letting me go because you need that much time to get ready!" I said to him like it was the most obvious thing in the world and I bit back my laughter when he yelled, "HEY NOW!" into the phone to defend himself. "I just like taking my time getting ready that's all. There's no harm in that."

I couldn't help but laugh slighlty before I nodded my head while saying, "Yeah. There is nothing wrong with that." I paused. "For a girl. Seriously Joe? An hour and a half to get ready? Seriously?!"

He scoffed slightly and I couldn't help but laugh at him for a while before he said, "Meanie. But I've heard enough of this. I'll see you soon. I'm gonna go get ready."

"Ok, bye loser." I managed to say through my laughter only to have him shoot back, "Bye loser back at you!" in a challenging tone.

I managed to get my chuckling down to a small laugh before saying, "Seriously now. Bye." and hung up before he kept the conversation going. That was one thing that was bad about him and I on the phone. We never wanted to end the conversation, even if we were passing out over the phone, but still...we never wanted to. I swear, one time we said bye to each other like....12 times before we actually hung up.

I squealed slightly at the idea of seeing him and his brothers looking all handsome in their tux's for Liz's birthday party. She was turning 20 today and her parents rented out a little dance hall area to have her party. There was going to be a DJ and a buffet and far as I knew, there were at least 100 people coming to her birthday. The boys not included. Liz didn't even know about the boys coming. Actually, no one did except for me....since I planned it all out with them.

Kevin, even though I had to talk him into that this lie would be a good lie, eventually told Liz that he couldn't come because of the tour and Ally heard the same thing from Nick. I played along and got upset when Joe called me to tell me that he wouldn't be able to make it either.

I quickly got dressed in my black party top that had sequins on it with a white denim skirt to go with it and some black flats. That was another thing about Liz's party. It was a black and white party. I quickly curled my hair and left it down, threw on some sparkly eye shadow and eye liner and then called Ally out of her room so we could go and help set up a little bit before the party actually started.

"All ready to go!" she said upon entering my room as I grabbed a pair of sweatpants to throw on over my legs while we were outside since it was January and about 5 degrees. I turned around while pulling them on to see Ally in a black and white polka dotted dress that went to her knee, with her hair pulled back into a messy bun with some hair curled that she left out of it.

She quickly grabbed Liz's presants that were sitting on my desk that was in my room and we quickly made it out of the house, me pretending to be a spy in case Liz was going to pop out of a corner and scare us into telling her what we got her while Ally laughed at me and said, "How are you and Joe not dating? You two have the mental capacity of an 8 year old." I simply glared at her for a response as we both got into my car and made our way to Liz's dance hall where her party was at.

Upon arriving at the dance hall 15 minutes later, Duckie's parents and Duckie herself was there along with the DJ, but Liz was no where to be seen.

"She's arriving fashionably late." Duckie told us while we listened to some music the DJ was playing for us while we finished setting everything up.

The three of us took a place by the side of the door for the first half hour to let people know where to put the gifts and where to hang up their jackets and such while dancing slightly as they came in.

A group of guys walked in right as "Misery Business" by Paramore ended and Duckie and I made our way back towards Ally from our crazy dancing and singing that we did to that song.

2 out of the 5 of them weren't too bad looking and I simply said, "Here for Liz's party right?" and they all nodded their head yes. Except for a sleazy looking one said, "I was, but I'm here for you now baby."

I tried not to make it look like I was completely disgusted by his comment before letting the one guy know where to put Liz's present and were to hang up their jackets, the other guy eyeing me up the whole time.

15 minutes later, Liz finally showed and she gushed about how great the decorations were before getting pulled away by some of her friends that she had to greet for her party.

A lot of dancing, a lot of singing and finding that the party was going to probably last until 2 in the morning, it was turning 11:25 and it was time to sing to the birthday girl. She insisted that she got sung "Happy Birthday" at 11:34 since that was when she was actually born.

I quickly told Ally and Duckie to go get the cake from the back room and light the candles while I went to go check my phone quickly to make sure that everything was going to work out fine.

Upon reading the text that Joe sent me about 10 minutes prior to now, saying that they were in the lobby waiting for me, I quickly ran up to the stage, grabbed 2 mics from the DJ and made my way as quickly as possible to the boys.

Unfornately, I almost did a nose dive when running through the sea of bodies when some guy asked me to dance with him later and I muttered a "Uh huh. Sure." over my shoulder, my panic starting to set in that this wasn't going to work out correctly.

It was 11:30. I had 4 minutes to make sure that everything was going to be ok and work out just as I hoped it would.

I quickly got out of the sea of people and left the dance hall area, turning one corner to get the lobby area and being completely blown away to see all three of the Jonas boys wearing tuxs.

I smiled and waved at them feverently while checking them all out and saying, "Don't you all look handsome!" handing a mic to Kevin and then took a deep breath and said, "Ok bye!" really fast and turned around to run away, but Joe grabbed my wrist and pulled me into him, making me fly right into his chest.

"Not now Joe. This has to go perfectly. I promise I'll say hi to you properly after this is all done." I managed to say in one breath while pushing against his chest and out of his grip to get back to the room and up on the stage at 11:33 while the DJ cut the music.

"Can I have everyone's attention please?!" I asked into the mic while everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at me.

"As you all know, it's Liz's birthday today and now it's time to sing to the birthday girl!" I yelled into the microphone excitedly, a huge smile on my face.

I jumped off the stage while Ally and Duckie grabbed a chair that was at a nearby table and told people to spread out around it as they left it in the middle of the dance floor, the seat facing the now closed doors.

"Liz, come on over here!" I said into the mic while ushering her with my arm.

She smiled nervously before making her way over towards the chair and taking seat in it.

"Ok, on the count of 3, everyone start singing! 1...2...3!!!" I yelled, counting down on my fingers and when it got to one there was an uproar of singing.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you..." the crowd sung loudly while she sat there, laughing and smiling like crazy from having all her friends be with her on her 20th birthday. "Happy Birthday Dear Liz! (and some Elizabeth's were in there), Happy Birthday to you!"

"Great Job Everybody! Now before the birthday girl makes a wish and blows out her candles, I have a very special surprise for her." I said to her while walking towards the doors and pulling them open all the way and place the little wedge underneath it to keep them open.

There was silent whispers of people, asking what was going on when finally Liz yelled across the dance hall, "What's going-" and then she was cut off by a guy saying, "Happy Birthday Beautiful!" softly.

Her head turned all around the dance hall from hearing Kevin's voice and as soon as she was about to get up from her seat, Joe and Nick made their way into the lobby, Joe sending me a wink before him and Nick took off towards Liz and a couple feet away from her chair, dropped to their knees and slid on the floor to a side of her. Upon reaching her they each grabbed one of her hands and kissed it while saying a quick, "Happy Birthday." and then got up and stood off towards the side while Kevin jogged into the room, white roses in one hand and the microphone in the other.

I couldn't stop the huge smile on my face as all the girls "Aww"ed in the audiance while some of the guys let out a whooping noise and pumping their fists in the air. Liz's jaw looked like it was about to drop off from having it be hung open for a few seconds before her eyes started to tear up a little bit.

"Don't cry! It's your birthday." Kevin said to her and slightly into the microphone, bending down in front of her and wiping away her tears with his thumbs. "But I know I'll be crying if you don't say yes to my question." He finished, putting the roses down next to the chair and grabbing one of her hands.

"Elizabeth Cohlmen, I know I haven't known you for long, but I want you to know that I'm crazy about you and I was wondering if you would give me the honor to call you my girlfriend?"

Her mouth dropped open yet again before more tears started to fall down her cheeks, and then she lept off of her chairs towards him and wrapped him up in a hug while saying, "Yes." about 5 times.

The crowd of party guests started appluading the two of them while confetti and balloons started to fall from the ceiling. It looked like it was a 4th of July party in the room without the fireworks with how riled up the crowd got when the DJ started playing the music again and everyone was screaming, dancing, laughing and having a good time.

When Liz and Kevin finally stood up, her arms still attached to around his shoulders, she gave him a quick kiss after he said, "I have been wanting to ask you that for so long."

After their little moment and all of us were gathered around the happy couple, Liz snapped her head at me while asking if I planned all of this.

"Well, Kevin had the idea...and I made it happen pretty much." I simply stated with a small shrug of my shoulders and a quick wink to Kevin who laughed slightly when Liz engulfed me in a hug.

"And I want to dance...now!" Joe yelled over the music from behind Liz and I and we all busted up laughing, all of them going out onto the dance floor.

Kevin and Liz weren't really dancing to the rythem of the upbeat rap song that was playing. His hands were on her waist while she had her arms wrapped around his neck while she smiled up at him with an adoring smile as he talked adamently about something. Joe, Duckie, Nick and Ally were all bopping around to the song like it was some 50's swing music, but at least they looked like they were having fun.

I walked over to the cake to start cutting it up for the guests when I realized that Liz had yet to blow out the candles and I turned around and made my way towards the happy couple and asked her to come blow them out.

"There's no need to now. I already got my wish." she said while turning and smiling at Kevin and he leaned down and kissed her passionatly, making that as my cue to leave them alone and go blow the candles out myself.

"What did you wish for?" I heard Joe ask me while I was half way through the candles.

"I didn't wish for anything. It's not my birthday to wish for something." I simply stated with a laugh and then went to finish blowing them out when Joe put his hand over my mouth and then picked up a lit candle and started re-light all of them that I blew out.

"What are you doing?" I laughed out from seeing him do that and then reached up and touched my lips where they still burned from having his skin making contact with them.

"The cake is expecting a wish. If you don't make one, It'll hurt its feelings and then what is it supposed to do when it goes back to all the other cakes and has to say that it didn't get a wish to fulfill?" he asked while finishing up lighting then candles and then turning my way and sending me a dazzling smile.

My heart literally jumped in my chest from seeing that smile he was giving me and I was thankful that the only light in the room was towards the stage and the random strobe lights and such, keeping my blush hidden from him.

I laughed nervously for a few seconds, before acutally laughing at what he said after it processed in my head, but decided to go along with it anyways.

"Fine, we'll have it you're way." I finished and then closed my eyes to think of what to wish for.

"What do you want more than anything?" Joe whispered into my ear at the moment and I tried to stop the shudder go down my back from having his breath hit the back of my neck and ear. It was crazy how just his breath hitting my skin could give me goosebumps in a very overly heated room.

I want you. I want to be as happy as Liz is right now. I want to be able to say that you are mine and no one elses.

I felt him put his hands on my shoulders, making my eyes snap open and I held my breath from how even that little contact could make my heart beat ten times faster than it was supposed to.

"Got a wish?"

I gulped loudly, and thanked the Lord that the DJ's music was so loud while shaking my head and saying, "Nope. Sorry. Why don't you make a wish." and then moved out of his grip to the side for him to be standing in front of the cake.

"Fine." he quickly snapped at me, a small smirk on his face as he turned back towards the cake while muttering just loud enough for me to hear, "So indecisive." and then blew all the candles out.

Getting my nerves back to normal since Joe wasn't touching me or breathing on me, I asked him what he wished for while bumping my hip into his lightly to get him out of the way so I could start to cut the cake.

"I can't tell you!" he snapped quickly as if he were appalled that I even asked him that question. "It won't come true if I tell you!" he said to my confused expression, causing me to laugh lightly at him for a few seconds before his tone went from being offended to disappointed. "Then again, I don't think it will come true anyways."

"And why's that?" I asked him, looking up at him for a few seconds before going back to my cake cutting.

"Because I wished for super powers!" he said in a childish tone and I couldn't help but have my small laugh emit itself from me.

Once I settled down and realized that Joe wasn't going anywhere, I asked him, "If you could have any power in the world, what would you want it to be?" and then put the first peice of cake on a plate and grabbed a fork for Liz and put it on it.

"I'd have to say..." he put his thumb and index finger on his face into a thinking position for a minute or two. "I'd have to say it's a toss up between reading people's minds and invisibility. What about you?" he asked as he went to grab the first piece of cake, but I slapped his hand away.

He looked up at me, holding his hand like I'd actually hurt him, with a confused and "What the hell?" kind of expression on his face while a laughed slightly before saying, "That's Liz's piece and I would have to go with...flying."

"That-" he said while caressing his hand. "Is so boring. And Oww!" and then he stuck his hand in my face to show me what he was saying 'Oww' to.

"Well that's what you get when you try to take the first piece of someone else's cake." I simply stated to him with a smug smirk on my face, picked up Liz's peice and went to go give it to her when Joe grabbed my other wirst to prevent me from going anywhere and saying, "Where do you think you're going little missy?" and then pointed at me and then down to the cake.

"I'm taking this to Liz." I stated back to him with false attitude and then turned around sharply and getting out of his grip to give it to her, sendig a quick smile over my shoulder to Joe who was standing there staring after me.

"Thanks!" Liz laughed/yelled out over the music since Kevin was telling her a funny story about something to do with Frankie and waterguns.

I simply laughed for a few seconds before turning around to go back to Joe and the cake and not even 5 steps away from the happy couple, the gross guy from before stopped me, wrapping his hand around my wrist and pulling me towards him.

"You're gonna dance with me right?" he asked while grabbing my wrist and moving his hand to be around my waist.

I tried to shove him off of me, only making his hold me tighter, while asking what the heck he was talking about.

"You promised earlier. Don't you remember? Right before we all sang Happy Birthday to Liz." he simply said, a little bit of a creepy smirk coming onto his face after his statement.

"I'm sorry I don't remember. I was trying to make sure everything went smoothly for Liz's birthday. Now can you please let go?" I simply asked trying to push off of him again but he tighened his grip yet again around my waist.

"Oh, come on. Just one dance." he tried to coax and then started to drag me into the sea of people who were currently dancing it up to the techno song that was on.

I yelled a quick, "NO" in his direction and then squirmed around, managing to get out of his hold that he had on my waist, but that was only for a few seconds. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back towards him, maknig me land on his chest while he locked his hands behind my back to keep me there, moving his hips slightly into mine.

"Stop trying to fight it sweetie. Just dance and have fun." he whispered into my ear and I couldn't stop the shudder that surged through me from his words. It wasn't anything like the tingly feeling one I had experianced with Joe a few minutes earlier. It was a disgusted, get him off of me, shudder. And when he moved his hands down to my butt, I started to hit him in the chest while yelling at him to 'Stop!" and that I didn't want to dance with him.

"Is there a problem here?" a husky voice asked from behind us as I tried my hardest to get out of his grasp and to prevent his assult on my body. It was absolutely disgusting how he kept trying to feel me up.

"Yes, there is. He won't leave me alone." I said through my struggling and upon getting him to loosen up on one side of my body I managed to turn around and catch a glimpse of my savior.

There Joe was, his eyes looked dark, darker than usual and his stance looked like he was ready for a fight if one broke out. I couldnt believe I didn't know it was him from the beginning ,but his voice sounded so different. It was deep and husky sounding. It sounded sexy as hell. And he looked sexy as hell with his tie loosened, his tux jacket unbuttoned and his eyes smoldering.

Damn he is one fine boy. Oh wait...getting molested here!

I was brought out of my trance when the guy's voice said, with a little bit of a smirk in his voice, "No, there's no problem here...just having a little fun."

"I don't think the girl wants to dance. Leave her alone and find someone else." Joe quickly said, still in his husky voice while reaching out for me to grab his hand.

I fought to get my hands free from the guys since he was holding onto them with one hand to try and prevent me from hitting him while his other was around my back.

I wanted to reach out and take Joe's hand, having him pull me into him, maybe knock the guy out for being such a gross disgusting pig and then give me a kiss on my wrists to make me forget about the guy who held them so tight. He could hold me gently against him and then we'd kiss. It would be perfect. Fairytale kisses wouldn't have anything on us.

I snapped out of my storybook idea with Joe when the guys voice snapped at Joe.

"What gives you the right to tell me what to do?"

"Since I can have you arrested in a blink of an eye for sexual harassment." Joe snapped back and I couldn't stop the proud smile that came onto my face, despite the circumstances.

That's my man! Well...not actually my man, but whatever....

The guy must have thought it was possible since he quickly let me go and Joe took a step towards me, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me into him, my back against his chest, and I couldn't help but smile wider from feeling his arms wrapped around me.

I felt so safe, so protected, so....

Joe then grabbed one of my hands and pulled me out of the sea of people and pulled me all the way to the lobby where I had seen them before they came in to say, "Happy Birthday" to Liz.

"Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!" I said while jumping on him and hugging the crap out of him.

"No problem. What are friends for, right?!" he asked me back and I could here some slight tension in his words.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked, pushing off of him to be an arms length away to look at him better and his whole demenor changed from tense and upset to mock attitude.

"Yes there is." he shot back while crossing his arms over his chest and turning slightly to side to give a cold shoulder. "You still haven't said hi to me yet. Not properly anyways." He then turned his head away from me and I bit back my laughter from how he was acting but decided to play his little game right back at him.

"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry!" I gushed over dramactically, causing him to turn to look at me with a skeptical look.

I jutted out my hand for him to shake while saying, "Hi. I'm Rebecca Pickles. Nice to meet you stranger who saved me."

He let out a small laugh, as if he wasn't excepting me to do that, before uncrossing his arms and pulling me into him for a hug, his head resting on mine has he said, "You are such a dork. You know that right?"

I nodded my head into his shoulder, relishing the feelng of being so close to him after such a long time and taking in the way I fit into him perfectly, his scent, the way my heart was beating from being this close to him.

"That's why you love me though." I stated after a few seconds.

"Most definintely." he stated with a quick nod of his head before he pulled away from me, giving me a quick kiss on the head. "Now let's dance!"

He grabbed me hand and pulled me back into the dance hall area, me soaring higher than an airplane at the moment from having his hand wrapped securely around mine.

When we got to the tables so he could take off his jacket, Duckie came over and asked him to dance with her. He turned his head to look at me with a questioning look and I took a step back from him while laughing.

"Why are you looking at me? You can make your own decisions."

He rolled his eyes before laughing slighly and sent me a smile before nodding his head to Duckie and the two of them went out onto the floor, dancing like crazy people to the song that was playing at the moment.

I watched them for a few seconds and Joe looked over and waved, a huge smile on his face, and I waved back at him before going and getting a peice of cake to eat. I needed something in my stomach to keep me energized for the next 2 hours until the party was over.

I took a seat at one of the tables next to one of the windows and heard the change of music from some rap song to a slow song, watching Joe start to dance crazily thinking it was another high energy song before dipping low to ask if Duckie wanted to dance with him.

It was "Amazed" by Lonestar and for the longest time, that was going to be my wedding song, despite that so many people used it. But when the boys wrote "When You Look Me In The Eyes", "Amazed" was out and "Eyes" was in.

I quickly finished my small peice of cake and looked around at all the couples dancing, smiling widely with each of them that I saw.

Kevin and Liz were in the same exact position from when I brought her, her piece of cake. I don't think that they moved their hands at all for the last half hour, or moved from that spot. They were both smiling widely as they talked and kissed each other sporadically thorughout the song. Nick and Ally were paired off, smiling sweetly at each other and then Nick leaned in and gave Ally a quick kiss on the cheek. I rolled my eyes after seeing that, knowing that I would never hear the end of it after the boys were gone. I quickly went back to Kevin and Liz, smiling widely from thinking about how she got her Prince Charming on her birthday and maybe two months from now, on Ally's birthday, she might get hers.

And then there was Joe and Duckie. He had his hands loosly rested on her hips while her arms were loosely locked around his neck and she was laughing, hard, at whatever he was talking to her about. I didn't even notice the song finish because I was too busy admiring Joe in his tux. He looked absolutely incrediable. All of them did. And they were the only ones wearing tux's. All the other guys were wearing nice black pants and either a white or black button down shirt.

"So..."

I turned to my right and saw that Nick and Ally were seated next to me and I sent them both a giant smile. "What's up with you?" Nick asked, finishing his sentance while Ally looked away and over to the dance floor, trying to hide her big cheesy smile when Nick interlaced their fingers and set them in her lap.

I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly said said, "Not much." and stole a quick glance at Joe and Duckie who were dancing crazy again from the change of the song. "What's up with you?" I asked him back and then sent a quick head nod towards my sister's and his hands on her lap with a smile on my face.

He looked shyly down at their hands and rubbed his thumb against her thumb really quick before looking up and saying, "Nothing." and then mouthed the word, "Yet." to me. "I actually need to talk to you about that, later. Not here." he quickly said as Ally turned her head towards us, getting control of her smile and joining the conversation again.

I nodded my head and said, "I know right! That was so cute on how Liz cried." to try and cover it up that we weren't talking about the two of them at all. He smiled at me, grateful that I covered it up and I went back to watching Joe, flailing his arms around like a crazy person as him and Duckie danced around in a circle.

I couldn't help but smile like a fool at my best friend who looked like he was having so much fun at the moment, dancing like a lunatic.

"Does he know?"

I jerked my head back over to Nick and sent him a questioning look before asking him, "What?"

"Does he know?" he simply asked me again like it was the most obvious question in the world.

"Does who know what?" I asked him back, getting more confused about what the heck he was trying to get out of me. It was such a blank statement to begin with and it wasn't like we were talking before he asked me the question.

I heard him let out a loud sigh and roll his eyes before saying, "Joe. Does he know you love him?"

My mouth dropped open from hearing him say that.

What is up with his mother and now him thinking that I love Joe? Sure...I like him...but come on. I don't love him. It's Joe Jonas for crying out loud. I'm still having a hard time believing that he's my best friend.

"I don't love Joe." I simply stated and then crossed my arms over my chest and looked away from Nick, only to have my eyes land on the person that we were talking about.

I studied him for a few seconds, trying to figure out if he I really loved him or not. He was my best friend.

Sure...I'm attracted to him. And sure, he always knew how to make me laugh and whenever I am with him my heart beats eratically, but that's only because I never get to see him very often. It just because he was gone for so long.....yeah. That's it. I'm just not used to being around him and when I am, I don't know what to do.

"I can't love Joe. He's like my best friend." I stated softly and then looked back at Nick to see a smirk on his face. "We're Just Friends!!" I snapped quite loudly to try and make a point that I didn't love him, only causing him to let out a small puff of air before saying, "Cheyeah! And I'm the King of Scotland Yard!" he snapped back, a smug smile on his face. "Are you really going to play this game with me?" he asked me back, somewhat challenging me with his tone and the way his eyes were looking into mine.

I let out a deep sigh and noticed that Joe and Duckie stopped dancing and Joe was pointing over towards the table before Duckie nodded her head and they made their way over to the three of us.

"I don't want to talk about it right now. Maybe later." I snapped at him somewhat quietly while straightening up in my chair.

"That's because you know I'm right." he hissed at me while I shot back, "No, it's because he's coming over here." and then plastered a fake smile on my face and said, "Hey! How was the dancing?" and tried to make it look like Nick and I weren't just talking about my feelings for him.

Duckie slapped her hand down on Joe's shoulder and laughed somewhat, even though she looked like she was somewhat winded from all the dancing. "He's an awesome dancer!"

"I do say so myself." Joe added in there, popping his collar and causing Duckie to laugh even more, a small laugh coming form Nick, Ally and I. "But it's your turn now. I haven't danced with you yet!" he said and grabbed at my arm to pull me out onto the dance floor.

"Oh...no. That's ok Joe. I'm good." I stated while trying to get back down in my seat but the boy persisted and kept pulling me. And I wasn't about to give in, but then he pulled that Puppy Dog look on me and I caved.

I just couldn't say no to that face.

I sighed out a "Fine" and he jumped a couple of times from excitment and then moved his hand down to mine and grabbed it, dragging me onto the dance floor.

He stopped when we got to the middle of the crowd and suddenly pulled me straight towards him, having me land very ungracefully on him from his unexpected pull.

He interlaced his fingers with mine, the hand that he was holding the whole time, while putting his other hand on my waist firmly and looked straight in my eyes, my heart already beating like crazy and my head felt like my brain was melting in it from how I was pressed right up against his chest.

"Ready to Tango?" he asked me in a seductive voice that gave me goosebumps up and down my arms while I laughed out, "Do you even know how to Tango?" nervously.

"No." he stated while taking two long strides to the right. "But it'll be fun learning with you." and then he started dancing, "Tango-like" for the rest of the song which was basically him twirling me and moving me around while I succumbed to laughter the entire time.

He dipped me right when the song ended and my heart lept from looking up at him and seeing a giant smile on his face before he slowly lifted me up as Ryan Cabrera's song, "True" came on.

He let go of me completely, leaving a few inches between us and he looked around himself nervously for a few seconds before looking up at me and scratched the back of his neck.

"Do you want to dance?" he asked me somewhat nervously and even though I didn't think my body could take anymore heart attacks that this boy was giving me from just touching him, I accepted and he smiled widely before grabbing one of my hands and putting his other hand on my waist while I placed my other hand on his shoulder.

We danced like that in utter silence, neither of us looking at each other, for a few seconds. Well, at least I wasn't looking at him. I was too busy trying to hide my blush from the way he looked semi-nervous about asking me to dance with him. He then let go of my hand and snaked his arm around my waist, locking them there while both of my arms slowly moved up his shoulders to around his neck and locked themselves there. He smiled sweetly down at me when he felt my hands lock behind his neck and I couldn't not smile back at him before leaning forward and letting my head rest on his shoulder, him then leaning his head on top of my head lightly as we spun around in a small slow circle.

I could have fallen asleep with how relaxed I was in his arms. Because of the way his cologne and deodoarant mixed together and left my mind clouded with images of him. I closed my eyes at the moment, a content smile making it's way onto my face when he pulled me closer to him so we were right up against each other and I nuzzled my head into his shoulder a little bit to get more comfortable.

I took in another deep breath as he moved us in circle and couldn't get over how perfectly I fit into him, like we were made for eachother, corresponding puzzle peices. Thoughts of him echoed through my mind. Our late night conversations on the phone and how one time we actually fell asleep over the phone and then both woke up and said good morning to each other...that was the longest phone call we'd had between one another. Good thing that when we were awake and our phones started to die, we plugged them in. Bad thing was that it was a 12 hour phone conversation that we had to pay for when the bill arrived. I loved how he could make a compliment about me from the most random of things and yet still have it be cute. I loved how when I answered the phone every time he called me, he yelled my name enthusiastically. I loved how when I called him he'd always answer with, "What's cookin', good lookin'?" I loved how even the few times we had been able to see each other, he made me feel like I was the only person in the room and how I had his undivided attention no matter what was going on around him. I loved how I could always hear a smile come onto his face whenever he was telling me about something he loved or missed but still had a good memory with it. I loved how he gave me butterflies in my stomach whenever he said the words, "Good Night Stephanie." to me and made my head spin whenever he'd say that he missed me. I loved everything about him, he was absolutley incrediable and amazing and fantastic in every possible way.

OH MY GOD! How did I not see this coming?! How come his mother and Nick saw it before I saw it? I'm in love with him. I'm in love with my best friend. I'm in love with Joe Jonas.
