When You Look Me In The Eyes -- Joe Jonas, Ch. 15
Kara's POV
I woke up to Joe's head laying on my stomach. I looked down at him. He was still asleep. I moved around a little, waking him up.
"Morning, love" I said. I could feel his lips form into a smile. Then he gently pressed his lips against my bare stomach.
"Morning, beautiful". He kept kissing my stomach.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Kissing your stomach". I giggled.
"Why, you freak?".
"Because I love you. I kiss things I love and I love you" he said. I couldn't help but smile.
"Well, we have to do this later coz today's the day" I said. Today was the day we packed up our stuff and moved into our new apartment. We both got up and got dressed. We walked downstairs and had breakfast with the family. Right after, we went back upstairs and started packing. We got everything packed and in the car by 4. We were ahead of schedule. We made our way over to the apartment with everything. Joe's parents even had extra furniture that they gave us. I couldn't believe that we had just taken this huge step. Together. The whole family came and helped us move in. We finished even quicker. Then, we said goodbye to the family. Mrs. Jonas had a hard time leaving coz she still thought Joe was her little boy. I don't blame her. I wouldn't want Joe leaving either. He is the most amazing aspect of my life. As we unloaded the last of the boxes into the apartment, Mr. Clarence came up.
"Wow, you kids moved everything in pretty fast" he said. Joe wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Well, I guess we we're pretty excited to move in" he said, kissing my cheek.
"Yknow, you two really do remind me of myself and my wife, Farrah" he said.
"That's so funny, my name is Kara. Our names ryhme!" I said. I was so weird like that. Anytime something ryhmed, I made sure I said it. Mr. Clarence smiled.
"You have the same sense of humor as her, too. You'll get along with her great. Well, let me be the first to officially welcome you to the building" he said, handing us the keys to the apartment. Joe took them and smiled.
"Thank you very much, sir" Joe said. He smiled back and walked out. As the door closed, Joe and I walked around. We made our way to my room. I belly-flopped on my bed, letting the coolness of the comforter hit me. Joe jumped right on top of me, landing on my back.
"Ow! Joe, you're squishing me" I said.
"I'm sorry" he said, not moving.
"So then, you think you should get up?" I asked.
"But you're so comfy" he said. I was so exhausted.
"I'm too tired to fight you off" I said with my eyes staring to close.
"Oh really? Well in that case..." I felt his lips press against my neck. I pushed him off a little.
"I'm not that tired, buddy" I said. He laughed.
"Alright then" he said, getting off me.
"I'll go pick up some dinner for us. What do you want?" he asked.
"Ummm....chicken?" I said.
"Sounds good to me. I'll be right back" he said. He kissed me lightly and walked out. A few minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I got up and answered the door. It was Mrs. Clarence. She was wearing a long, floral dress that came down to the middle of her legs and black slip ons. She had red, curly hair that was pinned up and away from her face.
"Hi! You must be Kara. I'm Farrah Clarence" she said holding her hand out to shake mine.
"Hi, yeah I'm Kara. It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Clarence" I said shaking her hand.
"Oh sweetie, call me Farrah" she said.
"Haha, alright Farrah. Would you like to come in?" I said.
"Oh, thank you!" she said and walked in.
"I'm sorry about the mess. We just got all the boxes in from our house".
"Oh, honey, don't apologize. We still have boxes in our apartment from moving in fifty years ago" she said, kidding. I laughed.
"Would you like some coffee or tea?" I asked.
"Do you have some water?".
"Sure" I said, grabbing a bottle from the kitchen.
"Here you are" I said. She took it.
"Thank's sweetie. So I saw your boy downstairs getting in his car".
"Oh, yeah. He went to go get dinner for us".
"He's a pretty good-looking boy" she said, smiling.
"Hahah yeah. He is very cute" I said.
"So, how long have you two been together" she asked.
"A year and a few months" I asked.
"Wow! That's a pretty long time for youngsters".
"Yeah, I guess so. It hasn't seemed that long though. It's gone by so fast".
"Aww, that's so cute. You kids are gonna make it. I can tell" she said. I smiled.
"Thank you".
"Does his family like you?". I laughed.
"Funny story. I actually lived with them before we moved in here together". She looked at me confused.
"They let their sons girlfriend....move in?".
"Well, it's not as much as all that. My parents....well....I couldn't live with my parents anymore" I said. She could tell I didn't want to talk about it.
"Well, if the parents like you and you've been together this long, I guess marriage isn't too far away, huh?".
"We've actually talked about marriage before".
"In a good way or a bad way?".
"No, no in a very good way. He definitely wants to marry me. I feel the same. We're just waiting until we get a little older".
"Oh, well that's wonderful. Yknow, Mr. Clarence proposed to me on the day of our graduation out of high school". I smiled.
"That's so cute" I said.
"He was the validictorian and during his speech, he asked me to come upon stage. So I did and he got down on one knee and asked me". I aww'd.
"That's adorable!!" I said.
"I know he doesn't look like much now but he used to be a looker!" she asked.
"Haha I wouldn't doubt it," I said, "There are always girls trying to come up to him".
"Really? Why would they come up to him?".
"Well they always want his autograph or a picture". She looked confused.
"Is he some kind of celebrity?".
"Oh, yeah kinda. He's in a band with his two brothers. They're called the Jonas Brothers. I should let you borrow one of their cd's".
"Oh, I'll go buy one. Then he can sign it for me".
"Haha alright". Just then, the door opened.
"And there's the rockstar himself" Farrah said. Joe looked confused.
"Huh?" he asked.
"Joe, this is Farrah Clarence" I said. Farrah got up and put her hand out to shake his.
"Hey, sweetie".
"Oh, hi. Very nice to meet you" Joe said, shaking her hand.
"Well, I shoud be going but Kara, he is a cutie" she said walking out. Joe blushed.
"Yeah, I know he is" I said wrapping my arms around him. He smiled.
Joe's POV
"Did you know that Mr. Clarence proposed to Farrah during their high school graduation ceremony?" Kara said.
"Really?" I asked, getting our dinner all set up.
"Yup. I think that's the most romantic thing I've ever heard" she said taking her plate. I grabbed mine and we sat in the living room.
"I bet I can do something ten times more romantic than that" I threw in.
"I bet you couldn't" she said putting her plate on the table.
"Oh yeah?" I said, pulling her to me from where I was sitting on the couch. She fell back and unto my lap.
"You couldn't do anything romantic" she said.
"What about when I brought you back to the cafe? Or up at the lake when I had that dinner all set up for us?" I said, defending myself.
"Oh, you thought I liked that?" she said, smiling. I laughed.
"If I remember correctly, you almost started crying when I brought you to the cafe".
"Yeah, coz I was tired. I cried coz I wanted to go home" she said, not even believing herself.
"You're such a jerk" I said, tickling her. I sat on top of her, still tickling her. Then I stopped and looked around.
"What are you doing?"she asked.
"I'm waiting for someone to stop us. They always do" I said. Kara laughed. She put her hands on my cheeks and made me look at her.
"No one is gonna stop us anymore" she said.
"I just can't believe that this whole place is ours. It's all us, Kara, from here on out" I said, leaning down and kissing her. I deepened it pretty quickly. Then I realized she didn't have on the bubble gum lip gloss. I pulled back a little.
"Where's your lip gloss?" I asked. She looked confused.
"What?".
"Your bubble gum lip gloss. Where is it?" I asked again.
"Umm, in my bathroom I think". I got up really quick, grabbed it, and raced back. I returned to sitting on top of her and handed her the lip gloss.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Put it on".
"Are you serious, you freak?" she asked.
"Absolutely. Put it on, for me". She grabbed it and put it on.
"You are the absolute weirdest person I've ever met" she said. I kissed her lightly.
"I love you too, baby". I kissed her again. I know it may seem weird, what I just did, but I loved her lip gloss. Whenever I chewed bubble gum, I couldn't help but think of her. It became my favorite taste. And I really wanted to taste it again.
We finished our dinner and got ready for bed. I kissed her goodnight. I think this was the first time in months that we didn't sleep in the same room. Well, we didn't start by sleeping in the same room.
