I sipped my mocha latte as I peeked over my economic notes at the boy in the corner of Starbucks with the amazing fashion sense and sunglasses.  The boy was wearing sunglasses, but strangely enough, it was already dark out.  I tried to be nonchalant about my spying, but I could almost be sure that he knew I was staring at him.  He struck an odd resemblance to one of those Jonas Brothers my little sister was always going on and on about.  

That’s enough! I told myself.  I set my notes down on the table and read them over.  I became completely unaware of the mysterious boy in the corner until a shadow appeared over the top of my papers.  

I glanced up and saw the face covered by sunglasses.  “I couldn’t help but notice you looking at me,” he said.  “I don’t blame you, of course.  Mind if I sit down?”

I stared at him, dazed by his boldness.  “Uh, sure,” I stammered.  I closed my economics notebook and held my hands under the table.

“What’s your name?” he asked sitting down in the chair across from me.  He shook his hair out from his eyes with the nod of his head.  He grinned at me and my heart absolutely melted.

“Audrey,” I smiled.  “Do you go to the university?  I don’t think I’ve ever seen you on campus,” I said as my brows furrowed on my forehead.  

His grin disappeared.  “No.  I’m not really from around here.  I’m Joe, by the way.”

Suddenly everything started to click into place.  He really was a Jonas Brother.  I felt my jaw drop open a little and I quickly corrected myself.  “Oh,” I said as I realized.

“I should probably go.”  Joe stood up, tipped his hat at me and began walking away.  I sat there star struck for a few seconds when I realized I was letting him get away.

I jumped up and rushed out the door.  “WAIT!” I shouted as I tripped over my own feet and fell to my knees.  I just sat there, feeling completely embarrassed.

“I wondered how long it would take you to get out here,” a voice laughed from beside me.  I looked up from the ground and saw Joe looking down on me, his hand outstretched to help me up.  “Are you always this graceful, or is it just because I’m here?”

I felt my face flush and I was grateful that it was dark out and he wouldn’t be able to notice.  I decided it was best to downplay my obnoxious way of always finding some way to injure myself on a daily basis.  “Oh, you know…I was in a rush, I guess.”  I pushed my hair out of my face and smiled at him.  “Thanks for not leaving.”

Joe smiled at me.  “You have a really adorable smile,” he told me as he put a stray hair behind my ear.  “Don’t fall anymore, okay?”  I nodded as he asked, “Wanna go do something with me?”

I stood there, biting on my lip, contemplating the choice I was about to make.  “That depends…”

“Don’t worry, we’re just robbing a bank, shooting some homeless dudes, and kidnapping a child from the park,” he said with a serious look on his face.  

I stared quizzically at him.  I laughed a second later when I realized it was just a joke.  “Okay.  Let me just run in and get my stuff.”  

I came back out with my backpack slung over one shoulder.  I saw Joe waiting for me against the wall of Starbucks.  “Ready?” he asked.  I nodded.  He led me to a black car with dark tinted windows.  “Do you trust me?” he asked.

I grinned and nodded.  “Of course.”  

Joe opened the door for me, took my bag and motioned for me to get in the back seat.  He got in after me and directed the driver where to go.  He took of his sunglasses once he got settled in next to me.  I was finally able to see the dark flecks in his already dark brown eyes.  It was almost breathtaking.  

Joe and I made small talk in the backseat, making jokes, complimenting each other, and just all around flirting with each other.  During the silences he would nudge into me or playfully hit my arm.  I’d nudge back into him and smile.  As the car came to a stop I realized we were in front of the Drake Hotel, one of the most prestigious hotels in the city of Chicago.  “Wow,” I gasped.  “Are you staying here?” I asked him looking out the window at the old lit up building.

“Nah, I bought it.”  Joe pulled me by the hand into the building.  “Just kidding, of course.”  

He put his sunglasses back on before he opened the door and strode up to the front desk.  “Joeseph Jonas,” he said.  

“Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Kevin are up in the room with the key.  If you’d like we can send a bellhop along with you to escort you to your room, sir?”

Joe shook his head.  “We’ll find our way, thank you.”  Joe took my hand again and told me he was in room 125, the Drake’s presidential suite.  

“Kevin and Nick are up here?” I asked nervously.  

“Yeah.  But they only beat women on Tuesdays.  Lucky for you it’s Wednesday.  That could have been ugly.”  We finally reached the door after what seemed like decades since I was worrying.

“Wait,” I said.  “What if they don’t like me?  Did you tell them I was coming?  Will they like me?” I squeaked out.

Joe laughed softly and pushed some hair out of my face.  He looked at how exasperated I looked and smiled.  “Calm down.  You’re great.  No I didn’t tell them I was bringing you.  I’m usually full of surprises like this.”

“You bring girls back to your hotel room a lot?” I asked, confusion and humility flashing across my face.

“No of course not,” he said trying to be reassuring.  “I just like to change things up.  They won’t be expecting this.  Calm down.  Like I said, you’re great.”  He took my hand in his and knocked on the door.

I heard laughing and muted shuffling behind the door.  A chain lock clinked and I heard someone ask, “Password!”

Joe looked to the floor and mumbled a word I couldn’t understand.  “What was that?” asked the person behind the door.

“Nick J is off da chain,” Joe spoke a little louder.

The door popped open and I saw a tuft of curly brown hair pop out.  “Who’s this?” Nick asked as he opened the door wider.  The look on his face made me blush deeply.

“Nick, Audrey.  Audrey, Nick.”  Joe pushed Nick out of the way and pulled me in behind him.  I waved shyly to Nick from behind my back.  Nick’s face held as much confusion as I felt.  “Where’s Kevin?” Joe asked, sitting down on the leather couch.  I sat down next to him, folding my arms across my chest feeling very awkward.  

“He’s out getting us food.”  Nick sat down on the other side of Joe.  

“Uhm, I need to use the restroom,” I said quietly. Joe stood up, grabbed my hand and took me to the bathroom.  

I thanked him and shut the door.  I sat down on the side of the bathtub and put my head in my hands.  What am I doing? I asked myself.  This was completely out of my comfort zone.  I stood up and splashed some water on my face at the sink.  I looked at myself in the mirror while I smoothed my dark brown locks back into place.  I had to remind myself to stay calm.  The Jonas Brothers were people, just like myself.  

I quietly exited the bathroom and started padding down the dark hallway.  I heard Nick and Joe discussing me.  There was also a third voice and I figured Kevin had gotten back from the food run.  “What do you think you’re doing, Joe?” Kevin asked.

I stood in the darkened hallway and listened to the conversation.  “Chill, man.  Audrey is beautiful and amazing.  We’re just having fun.”

“You do realize we’re on tour, right?  You’ll only get to spend two, three days tops with her while we’re here in Chicago.  Does she know that?  Don’t let her get too attached.  You remember what happened last time,” Kevin reminded him.

“That was different,” Joe replied, his voice sounding a little raspy.  “Just chill.  I know what I’m doing, okay?”

I walked out from my hiding place and saw Joe and Kevin standing next to each other in front of the sofa.  “Hi,” I said and waved at Kevin.

“Hey!” he greeted me warmly.  “I’m Kevin.”

“Kevin and I are going to the hot tub,” Nick said, munching on some fries.  “Wanna come with us?” he asked Joe and I.  

“YAH!” Joe said jumping on the couch.  

I stood awkwardly.  “I didn’t bring a bathing suit,” I mentioned.  

“Don’t worry, the concierge will be able to wrangle one up for you.”  Joe winked at me and smiled the adorable smile that made my heart melt.  I was just wondering if I really was getting too attached.
