Jordan's JP fic//CH 10-11

Chapter Ten

Meredith is laying in bed when her phones rings. She pulls back her covers and quickly gets up to answer her phone. She see's Kevin's number and she grins.

She reads his message and hurridly responds back,
"Sure, meet me in the hallway!"

Kevin finds a pad of paper and a gold gel pen inside one of the bedside tables and quickly scribbles a note to his brothers in case they wake up.

"Nick or Joe. Garbo fell asleep in my bed, went to sleep in Meredith's room. Come get me when mom does morning wake up calls. love, Kev"

Before Kevin leaves he peers into the bathroom mirror and runs his fingers through his curls. And he sprays a small amount of cologne on his neck before shutting off the lights and grabbing his room key.

As Kevin shuts the door behind himself he can see Meredith shutting her door. He thinks to himself Oh my gosh, she looks stunning.

She is wearing an ordinary pair of pink pajama pants and a tight red cami.

They meet halfway and then together they walk to Merediths room. Once inside her hotel, Kevin's heart flip-flops at his spur-of-the-moment decision of staying the night with her.

Meredith takes hold of Kevin's hand and leads him toward the sofabed. She has layed out a pillow and two blankets for him. He carefully, and quietly slides under the covers as Meredith inches around to her bed.

"Goodnight" Kevin says all sleepily, as he is most definetly yearning for sleep.

Pretty soon Meredith hears the deep even breathing sound of Kevin's wonderfully warm sleeping body.

~~~Back in the bedroom~~~

Nick is sound asleep in his bed, all curled up. He drapes on of his nicely built biceps over his face as he sleeps.

Joe is snoring in his bed. He has one of his legs on top of his covers and the other is hanging off the bed.

Garbo, who is still asleep, gets up off Kevin's bed and makes his way toward Nick's. He lays down next to Nick.

Everyone knows that Garbo has a sleep-walking problem. And he also talks in his sleep. That is why Joe, Nick and Kevin didn't usually share hotel rooms with him.

Garbo slings one of his legs ontop of Nick's sleeping body and Nick groans. Still asleep, Nick pushes off Garbo's leg.

Garbo is muttering something about buying lime green fuzzy socks at Target and he extends his muscular arm over Nick's fuzzy hair. This wakes Nick in the process.

Jeez Garbo, what the hell is your problem Nick thinks to himself.

Nick leans up on his forearms, and looks at Garbo's sleeping body beside him on the bed. Nick tries to shove Garbo off the bed, but he wont budge.

Still groggy, Nick inches his body off the bed. He unsteadily stands up. He walks toward Joe's bed and sees Joe's body contorted like a snake. Joe is breathing heavily so Nick knows he is asleep.

Next, Nick makes his way toward Kevin's bed. No Kevin.

Nick begins to freak out, then he sees the note. He picks it up and blinks a few times, eyes watering. He reads it. Now he is wide awake and pissed.

What does Kevin think he is doing? This could cost him his career. What about his promise? He better not be doing anything stupid? Wait, staying the night with a girl he just met, YEAH that's as stupid as you can get.

Nick grabs his iphone and sends a hasty text to Kevin.
"Wtf, Bro?"

Chapter Eleven

Nick sits holding his phone waiting for Kevin to text him back, but he doesn't.

He contemplates whether or not he should wake up Joe or Garbo to tell them where Kevin is, but due to the fact that he is so tired and they are too he doesn't.

Nick goes over to Kevin's bed and sits on it. He picks up Kev's laptop and turns it on. The bright light illuminates his beautifully pale face. The dark room, due to the tightly closed window treatments, is suddleny filled with a neon haze.

Nick presses the mute button on the computer so the Turn-On sound does not wake his brother; Garbo is a lost cause, he is such a heavy sleeper.

Negative thoughts fill Nick's mind once again interlacing with each other Okay so I'm going to get up tomorrow and go to mom and tell her what went down with Kevin. And this Meredith girl. Man she is really pretty, I know what Kevin sees in her, but damn this is REALLY sudden. I believe in love-at-first-sight but I dont believe in staying the night with some girl on the first night. or the second. or the third.


Time to listen to music Nick thinks warily. He leans across the bed to the bedside table and grabs the pair of ipod headphones attached to Kevin's ipod video, Nick's firm oblique muscles tightening with ease.

He plugs the headphones into the computer,unclicks the mute button and clicks onto the itunes icon on the desktop.

Nick goes to the music library and clicks on a random song. He relaxes into the mountain of pillows on Kevin's comfortable bed and closes his eyes for a long pause, listening to the deep meaning of the lyrics. The music's melody drowns Nick and pulls him in all different directions.

He lets the sounds of the guitars, piano, drums, violin and other instruments envelope his eager body. He reaches down with his fingers and runs them along the tops of his thighs as he mouths along with the words, calming himself.

Nick opens his eyes for a second but closes them because he is immediatly blinded by the laptop's glowing light. Nick uses his feet to take off his grey socks and he pushes them off onto the floor.

He removes the laptop from his lap and lays it next to him, lit side facing away from his face.

Joe never stirs from what Nick can tell as he slowly drifts off into a deep sleep.

~~~Nick's dream~~~

**I am sitting on a wooden tree stump next to the campfire as Joe is massaging my mom's shoulders. Frankie is laughing at something Kevin has told him and they are sliding marshmellows on and off their metal roasting sticks. I watch my family, minus my dad who is somewhere that I'm not sure of, as they continue their loving family talks and laughter. Without me. I keep saying "Mom, where's dad?" but no one will answer me. It's like I'm not even there.
**The scene changes**
I am rubbing suntan lotion on my stomach as she approaches me. Medium height, curvy with piercing blue eyes like the ocean that is in front of me, and she says to me, "Excuse me, are you Nick Jonas?"

I push up my navy blue sunglasses and from behind them I look into her eyes and reply, "Yah, that'd be me. And you are?"

"Ashley Hillenbrand. I was wondering if we could talk about something that has been bugging me." she answers back looking scared, tired, ashamed, nervous - all in one.

I glance around making sure that no more girls are coming up to me at this moment.

I want to give her my entire attention, she deserves that atleast.

"Okay, sure." I say kindly as I smear in the rest of the lotion onto me stomach. She glances down to where my hands are on my abs, and on her face emerges a slight, shy smile. We walk toward the beach chairs set up side by side and sit down. We acknowledge each other with matching smiles and she starts to talk.

"I know this is going to sound a little extreme, but I really like you. I don't know that much about you but I'd like to get to know you. I don't enjoy obsessing over guys who are way out of my league but i cannot talk myself out of my feelings." Her captivating eyes take my breath away as I continue to listen to her open up to me, nodding at the correct moment.

I watch her slim mouth as she talks, and I feel my body filling with glee. From all the way to my toes buried slightly in the warm Florida sand, to my tan shoulders and back down again. I get this urge to run my fingers through her long hair but I subside that by clasping my hands together.

It works for a few minutes but I suddenly can't help myself, I am reaching out to grab her hand. She stops talking midsentence and looks at my hand, touching hers. With her other hand she grabs my bicep and pulls me closer to her face. We are inches from each other, on the verge of a kiss. My body continues to tingle at her touch. I want to caress her body with my hands and find her most tender spots.

She closes her eyes, and for a second I wish she hadn't because they are so beautiful but I disregard that as our lips touch. I close my eyes are we kiss once more, no tougne involved in either kisses, just perfectly sweet making-your-heart-pound-out-of-your-chest kisses. She pulls back and we look at each other. Her face is glowing with delight as I'm sure mine is mirrored as the same back at her. I immediatly want to be with her, touching her all over. We lean into kiss once more. So close, yet..**
