Chapter 19
“Mrs. Jonas,” I whispered to her and pulled her away from the crowd. “Would you be able to do me a favor?” I asked
She nodded, “Sure, hon, what is it?”
“Well, do you think you could keep Nick and Kevin away from Morgan and me? And…make them get dressed up without finding out about the party?” I asked giggling.
She laughed, “Sure, I’ll try. Are you almost done with the preparations?”
“Ohhhh, we’re all done! We just need to get ready..do our hair, take a shower, you know?”
“Alright, I’ll just tell the boys that we’re going out for dinner. Is that fine?”
“That’s perfect! Thanks so much, Mrs. Jonas!!” I squealed and hugged her. She walked off in search of her sons as I headed back to my room and locked the door behind me.
“Okay, let’s get ready!” I sang once I got in.
Morgan walked out of the bathroom in a towel and wet hair. “Mel, the shower’s free!” she said. I grabbed my items and headed to the bathroom to let Morgan get dressed. I showered and got out. I dried myself off and slipped on my dress. It was Nick’s favorite color, Royal Blue. The mini Co.cktail dress fit me nicely as I straightened it out. I straightened out my hair and applied my makeup. I went light tonight, just applying concealer and bright red lipstick to my lips. I swiped on some mascara and blush. I stood back and looked at my appearance. I adjusted myself a few times before I was satisfied.
I gathered my things in the bathroom and knocked on the door making sure Morgan was fully dressed. She gave me the okay and I exited the bathroom, and storing my items away in my overnight bag.
Morgan looked beautiful. She wore a black Chiffon dress that fitted her perfectly. Her hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail with a puff that sat right above her forehead. She wore black eyeliner and eyeshadow as well along with black mascara. Her lips were swiped with a nude lipgloss.
“Morgan! You look stunning!!” I exclaimed. She blushed slightly.
“Back at ya, Mel!” she giggled. I checked the time.
“Ohh, we better go and check the settings upstairs in the ballroom!” I said. She nodded as we both slipped on our heels. Hers was a silver while mine was black. We exited the room arm in arm, making sure to check if the boys weren’t outside. We sneaked into the elevator and pressed the 11th floor.
We exited the elevator and walked down the hallway making small talk of excitement. We reached the doors and opened them. We gasped at how beautiful the ballroom looked. The chandelier hung above the oakwood dance floor while the tables draped in white tablecloths sat around it with hints of small purple specks that glittered over the tops. The elegant flowers sat in a beautiful vase that stood tall in the middle of the tables. On a mini stage, sat a cake with cursive letters written over it that read ‘Jonas Brother’s Tour. Congrats boys!!’ The stars that hung from the ceiling dazzled and made the room light and..starry!
“Mel, we’ve done an amazing job!” Morgan gasped.
“Yeah..I’ll say!” I exclaimed. Morgan and I have been working so hard on this part that we never got the chance to actually take in our work. We went around checking the kitchen and the menu, and the gift for the boys which was a picture of them with Frank and their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jonas standing outside their tour bus which had their title of the tour they were on. I turned the music on and guests started pouring in from the doors in groups.
Morgan and I went around greeting them until we decided it was the time to bring the family in. I went to text
Mrs. Jonas it was time while she got up on the stage and prepped the guests about the boy’s arrival.
A few minutes later, an applause erupted from the crowd and I turned around to see the boy’s entering the room their eyes wide with surprise. They made their way to the stage and spoke into the mic, thank you’s and how they would never have done this without the help of the crew. After their thank you speech, they went around greeting everyone. Morgan was with Kevin the whole time, smiling radiantly together. They made a beautiful couple. I was by the kitchen, checking if the food was read yet.
Fifteen minutes later, Mrs. Jonas made an announcement about getting seated. Everyone shuffled to their tables and gathered their plates and headed to the buffet. I sat with Morgan who sat next to Kevin, while Emily sat next to Joe, I sat alone wondering where Nick had gone. Seconds later, I felt two hands lightly land on my shoulders.
I looked up and saw Nick smiling down at me. He took his seat next to me and took my hand from my lap and held it in his. He smiled warmly at me again as he took a bite of his food.
“Thanks, for planning this, babe.” He said.
I smiled, “It wasn’t all me, Nick.”
“I know, but just thank you. You girls did an amazing job.”
I blushed. We ate the meal silently as the other couples were deep in conversation with other couples.
People began to dance and Nick pulled me up from my seat and led me to the dance floor. I looked around nervously.
“Don’t be nervous, follow my lead.” He whispered as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I nodded and did what he suggested. Suddenly, I felt safe in his arms, and melted into the slow dance. I rested my forehead against his and closed my eyes. I kissed him lightly, pulled apart and opened my eyes.
I spotted Morgan dancing with Kevin and smiled at her. She smiled warmly back before she mouthed, “Having fun?” I nodded and smiled.
“You?” I mouthed back. She nodded happily and mouthed and “I love you.” I mouthed it back. We smiled at each other as I thought about how Morgan was such an amazing friend and that I would do anything for her. She truly has been there for me especially if I've been ungrateful..
I sighed happily and kissed Nick once more. “What was that for?”
“For being such an amazing boyfriend..but you deserve more.” I whispered. He chuckled slightly and held me tighter.
“Maybe I should get more..?”
I laughed and we grew silent. The song ended and he led me outside onto the balcony. We were the only ones there while everyone else was chatting away or dancing inside.
He held me as I rested my head on his shoulder.
“You know, I think I don’t want this night to end. I wish I could spend my every waking moment with you, like this..” he whispered.
“I think I would like that too, Nicholas.” I sighed.
“I love you.” He said, rather hurriedly.
I waited for a moment before I said, “I love you too, Nick.”
I felt him release a deep breath before he kissed me passionately.
I sighed as he tightened his grip around me. I took in the cool breeze as I melted in Nick’s arms knowing that forever, I will never forget this night where I spent it with my boyfriend who I looked deep into his beautiful pale brown eyes and said, “I love you.”
-THE END-
