The Beach House

“Jamie?” I turned on the balls of my feet to find little Frankie Jonas handing me his now dirty plate, “Thank you mousier” I grinned taking the plate and rinsing it lightly,

“Jamie?” I turned back around to find Frankie rocking on the back of his heals, “Yeah?” I asked turning off the water and drying my hands, “Well, Dylan’s going out for a couple of hours and I was wondering if we could go to the park?”

His innocent eyes shinned with hope, I swear this kid is going to make me melt. I smiled and ruffled his hair, “Sure Frank just let me finish the rest of the dishes,” Frankie grinned and hugged my waist running downstairs,

Humming softly to myself I decided to turn on the radio,

Well I won’t,
Be the one to disappoint you anymore,
And I know I said all this so that you heard it,
All before,
The trick is,
Getting you to that all this,
Was your idea,
That meant just everything you’ve ever wanted out of here,

Love’s not a competition,
But I’m winning

I sang along quietly dancing my way to the dishwasher and putting dishes in, continuing the routine throughout the song,

“Wow, so we can take professional dancer off your talents list,” replied a smug Kevin, I stopped and glared turning down the radio, “Yeah well I can’t do everything, now what do you want?” I asked ignoring the heat rising to my cheeks,

“Well I wanted to know if I could borrow your car. Nick Joe and I where thinking of heading out to get some movies, do you want anyone in particular?” I shrugged and grabbed a grape,

“Yea goes ahead I was planning on taking Frankie to the park anyways, and any movie with Molly Ringwald in it.” Kevin nodded and I handed over the keys, “What about your car?” Kevin turned around “My parents and your parents are going out somewhere who knows, eh Frankie!” Kevin chuckled as Frankie sprinted into the kitchen.

“Can we go now?” I nodded and grabbed Frankie’s hand, “Alright well we’re heading out!” I called as Frankie dragged me out the door,

“I’ll be out by the swings okay Jamie?” I nodded and slide my body onto the wooden park bench, I watched Frankie swing happily along with a girl who looked a tad young, the Jonas charm

I rolled my eyes and blocked Joe out of my mind, “Frankie takes after someone I know” I could almost hear the smirk in his voice, I rolled my eyes and felt the bench descend next to me,

“I thought you went with Kevin and Nick to pick up some movies?” I asked not bothering to look over, I felt an arm drape around the wooden back rest, “I was going to go but then I heard Frank the Tank was going to my favorite place ever so I made Kevin drop me off,”

I faced him eyebrows raised, “this is your ‘favorite’ place ever?” he nodded smirking, I leaned back and continued to watch Frankie, “Race you to the slide?” Joe smiled eagerly, “Are you serious”

“Yes and if you don’t hurry up I’ll be a winner as well.”

“Joseph-you can’t, can’t do that!” I desperately tried to catch my breath as I plopped down onto a swing, “Y-yeah!” our laughter rumbled as we slowly but surely managed to collect some air,

“Dude, I haven’t been to a park in, well I don’t know” I smiled facing Joe brushing some hair out of my face, “me neither, If I ever get lost you know where to find me,” I nodded and looked for Frankie,

He giggled running around the tiny play structure, “You have the cutest brother I know!” I said, “Well I can think of someone cuter” Joe smirked his cocky and confident smirk,

I chuckled and pushed his swing out of my way, “Way to live up to the ‘I’m in love with myself’ standard.” Joe’s eyebrows knotted for a moment, “I have a standard?”

I shrugged and gently pushed myself back and forth, Joe nudged me and whispered “Look at Frankie” I couldn’t help but awe at how the scene unfolded,

Frankie Jonas picked up a fallen flower and handed it the tiny blonde who gave him a quick kiss on the cheek,

“Joe I-“ but before I could respond Joe held a small white flower out to me, I smiled at him and took it into my hand, it was as small as my thumb and scentless.

“Look’s like someone is taking after his brother,” I smirked, Joe took the flower form my hand and gently put it into my hair, “Is it working?” I didn’t know what to say, I couldn’t say much of anything,

Because before I knew it Joe’s soft lips met mine.
