Love is Louder (Sequel to Addiction) A Jemi fanfic

Chapter 14: Morning

Demi's POV

I wake up the next morning from a night with little sleep, the excitement of Joe being downstairs kept me from sleeping. Even though I should be exhausted, I feel wide awake. I look outside of the window to see that its still kind of dark out, must be around six or seven. I look over at Kate's bed to see her still asleep, I sigh wondering if I can start getting ready without her. I don't know when Joe is gonna wake, but i'm hoping it's soon since I don't want to waste anytime away from him while he's here. 

I throw the blanket that's on my legs off me and get off the bed, I walk towards the bathroom silently not wanting to wake Kate. I lock the bathroom door behind me and start to slip off my clothes, I turn on the shower hoping the noise won't be too loud for Kate to wake up. When the water is warm, I step in letting the water kiss my body. The pressure of the water gives me comfort, letting my muscles relax. 

When I'm done, I hop out and start to get ready blow drying my hair so I can curl it for Joe, I want to look nice for him. After curling my hair, I put on some light makeup not wanting to put a lot since he doesn't like that. The most noticeable make up is some light red lip stick, he said he always liked that when I wore it before. With my robe still on, I walk back into the room to find it empty. Kate must of went to her office or something.

I walk to the closet and pick out some clothes, just some fitting black jeans and a gray shirt with a leather jacket over the top. I add a long necklace and observe myself in the room mirror, I smile knowing he'll like it. I walk over to my bed and sit while putting on my black boots, then look at the clock to see that its only six thirty. I sigh wondering if he's up, I wish I could go downstairs now and see him. I know I'd get into trouble though since I didn't tell Kate.

I get up from the bed and go to the door not caring about what Kate will say, I open the door and close it behind me quietly knowing mostly everyone is sleeping. I start to walk down the hall trying to make as little noise as possible, when walking closer to Kate's office, I slow down. Her door is open and I need to get past it to get to the stairs or elevator. She's gotta be in there, where else would she be?

Trying to figure out if I should go by slowly and pray she isn't looking out her door, or just book it so she can't see who I am. Deciding on walking by slowly, I start to tip toe past her door. I catch a quick glance and see her looking out the window talking on the phone. Saying thank you underneath my breath, I hurry and make my way to the stairs. I walk down them seeing only a few boys in the Lounge watching TV. 

When walking past them, I don't even bother to look who they are. 

" Demi? What are you doing up this early? " I hear behind me, I swear under my breath and turn around to find Ryan and some other kid I don't know.

" Um...I was just...taking a walk around the center. Just wanting to get out of my room for awhile. " I say hoping its a good enough excuse. I notice Ryan and the other guy he's with are in their pajamas. 

" Oh...ok. " He says raising his eyebrows, I just nod my head and turn on my heels to start walking again. I turn down the hall and walk to Joe's door, I smile thinking of the possibilities of what he's doing. Probably sleeping, but not for long.

I knock lightly a few times not wanting to make it too loud, waiting after a few seconds, I hear footsteps from inside. The door then opens up and his body comes into view, he grins when he sees that its me. I take the few steps in between us and hug him close, he wraps his arms around me instantly making me feel happy.

" Hey Dems. " He says in my hair making me smile, I release from the hug and close the door behind me wanting privacy from anyone that actually is awake. Joe is in his shorts and socks only, without his shirt on, you can really see that he's been working out. I stare not caring if he notices, his torso is so beautiful.
