Happily Forever After (Nick & Demi) (Nemi)

I : Be my Date

Demi

"I need to talk to you.."

"What about?.."

"Hum.. you know.. Joe's getting married and.. you know.. I wanted you to be my date.."

I look up from my computer and see Marissa staring at me with an envelope on her hands

- I found this.. - she smirked jiggling the piece of paper from side to side

- Yeah.. so?..

- So?.. you're going right?..

I shrugged and kept typing down the email I was preparing.. Marissa has been bugging me about Joe's wedding day ever since he and Sophie announced to the world their engagement.. not because she wanted me to steal Joe from Sophie like everyone thinks I will.. I actually love the girl and their relationship is just adorable to watch.. but because she wanted me to make the move

- You have to go! Joe is one of your greatest friends, and.. you know.. his brothers will be there.. maybe you could finally face one of them so he can put a ring on you as well

I rolled my eyes at my best friend's comment - You know Nick and I have nothing going on..

- Hum.. sis, I was talking about Franklin obviously! - she joked making me giggle and push her away

Nick and I.. well.. it's complicated...

We both admitted we had feelings for each other through songs.. we both already shared an intense and exciting night.. we didn't go much further than touching.. but it sure was enough to make me glued to him..

I tried dating other people after that night but it was all in vain.. I couldn't get Nick Jonas out of my mind..

It's been almost a year ever since my album came out and the wedding day was coming closer and closer each day.. but I couldn't go.. I couldn't stand the idea of embarrassing myself by appearing to my ex boyfriend's wedding while I'm fantasizing about his brother, who isn't ready to pursue something with me

Yes.. because after that night, Nick told me he couldn't cross the line between us yet.. that he wasn't ready.. he just couldn't ruin our friendship like that..

Marissa placed the letter on my table - Don't make a decision you'll regret later..

I looked down and read the best man's name.. Nick Jonas..

Marissa walked out of my room and I gulped.. sure me and Nick are still friends.. but can I really see his handsome face and not think about Nicholas as more than a friend?

The next day I went to the studio to record a new song for my upcoming album.. I was there with Phil and a writer named Nolan

The song was coming out pretty cool actually and I was getting really excited to release new music.. my lovatics wanted it more than I did.. it is going to take a while, but next year, there will be a new album for everyone to enjoy

After the session, I decided to stay a while in at the studio since I was on a roll.. Nolan ended up going home at around 9pm and Phil at 10:15pm..

I loved having these moments alone where it was just me, a guitar and my thoughts.. it was therapeutic.. like I was renovating my soul..

Music has definitely been something that ran through my veins.. something that made me move to my core.. it had this hypnotic power over me that left me in a transe

The door oppened suddenly scaring the shit out of me making me screetch

- Fuck!!

- Sorry, I didn't know you were here - he chuckled with his beautiful face gleaming with an adorable smile

- It's okay.. just don't you dare ever do that again! I almost had a heart attack Jonas!

- Sorry.. hum.. if you want I can go to another room..

- No.. It's fine.. you can stay.. I was finishing up anyways.. - I smiled standing up

I put the guitar down and grabbed my things while Nick stood at the door

- I'll see you later then.. - he said just when I was passing by him at the door

- Yeah.. have a good session - I smiled giving him two kisses and then walking away

After leaving that room, I felt like something was clouding my heart.. I was hoping he would talk a little more with me or come after me..

The truth is, I don't even know what we are.. the world thinks we're together and actually wants us together, but we're not..

He never wants to talk about it and neither do I.. it's scary and unnecessary

I opened my car door and my phone started ringing

- Demi.. - I heard someone shouting

I looked back and saw Nick running with his phone on his hand and his keys

I hanged on to the door with my hand and looked down at my phone seeing Marissa call.. - What's up? - I spoke as I hung up, my heart now doing somersaults

Nick adjusted his hair and cleared his throat - Hum.. You left your keys in there.. - he said handing them to me

I looked down at his hand now a little more disappointed.. Picking them up I felt how sweaty his hand was

I didn't say it though since I didn't want him to get embarrassed.. and I didn't want the tension in the air to become even more awkward

- Thank you - I said giving him a smile putting my bag down on the seat and then closing the door shut..

- Listen.. hum.. I need to talk to you..

- What about?

- Hum.. you know.. - he stuttered - Joe's getting married and.. you know.. I wanted you to be my date..

- Me?.. oh.. I'm.. I'm not going.. - I answered now feeling my stomach drop and my heart start beating faster

- Why? - he frowned

I took a deep breath - you know.. going to one of my exes wedding where my ex is going and.. well.. you are going.. was really not in my plans..

Nick bit his lips and shoved his hands on his pockets - Well.. if you change your mind.. call me.. I would love it if you would go with me..

I smiled and nodded - I'll think about it

Nick gave me a grin and scratched his nose - Well.. have a goodnight beautiful

A smile broke across my lips and the air got sucked from my lungs.. I took a deep breath and then walked to the other side of the car - Goodnight Nicholas

And with that, he turned around and I got inside my car and drove immediately to Marissa's house without any hesitation
