As Long As We Dance Part 6

 "Yea, Miley, him and Selena were always asking me to come with them here. But, like I said. I was always busy doing something after my classes. Most weekends I would be at the Library studying or something. I just wanted to take a break today, so I decided to check out your family's restaurant. Then I was think about things. I paid, then I left my purse here. I walked to my dorm room. Only to realize I couldn't get in, cause my purse was here. " He looked at her, as he raised an eyebrow at her. "What?" Demi asked. Joe slight shook his head.

"You walked here, then you walked back. Then you walked back here again. It's late at night. That's got be at least 2 and half miles. That is not safe to do at night. Don't you have a car? Why didn't you call my brother or Miley." Joe said, in one breath. Demi smiled. "Joe, see you are sweet. We just met and you're worried about me. I know I should be creeped out, but I'm not. I think that I like it that you are worried. Um, well for one thing. I left my phone in my purse, along with my car keys. I just had my iPod with me. I do carry mace too. So I would......um, well. I left that in my purse, opps. My bad, I just had lots of things on my mind. But, I'm good now."

Joe sighed, as he nodded his head. The radio was still on. He took a deep breath in the he let it out. "Take is easy Joey. I'm a right. I will be fine. I have done this lots. I can handle myself." Now he glared at her. She smiled sweetly at him, then he sighed. He couldn't help but smile back at her. "I do need to head back now. Miley should be back soon. She will start to worry too. She hates it when I choose to walk, instead of taking my car." Demi said, as Joe nodded his head at her. He turned and walked to the counter, he crouched down and picked up her purse. He got back up, then he walked toward her. He smiled, as he thought of something. She looked at him. He stopped and then he turned around he set her purse on the counter. She crossed her arms.

"Joe, I need my purse back, Please." She said, just as a slow song came on the radio. He shook his head no. "Joe." He walked toward her again. She was gonna step around him, but he move in her way. She shoot him a glare. "I'll give you back your purse on one condition."He said, as he looked into her eyes. She got lost in his eyes. Her heart began to beat fast. "I will give you, your purse back just as long as you dance with me. Here and now, in this empty room."He said, in a smooth voice. She smiled at him, as he put his hand out to her. She took his hand in hers. He took his other hand and pulled her close to his body. He could smell her shampoo. He breath it in and lost his senses. He felt her shiver at his touch, he smiled. She rested her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her, as she did the same thing. Then they began to move to the song that was on. Demi smiled, for the first time in a long time she felt safe. She felt that she was truly cared for, she did know that Miley, Selena and Nick did care for her. But there was just something about Joe.

The song ended. Demi let out a sigh, as she stepped back she looked at Joe. He smiled at her, knees went weak. He turned around, and walked to the counter. He picked up her purse, then he turned back and handed to her. "Here, you go Dems." he said, as she giggled. "Thanks, so....um I guess that I will see you later Slacker." She said, as he put his hand over his heart. "Hey, now I'm a bit hurt at that comment." He said, as he chuckled. "But, not so fast Miss independant. I'm gonna drive you back to your dorm."

She opened her mouth to say something. He put his finger over her mouth. She shut her mouth. She bit her lip. "Now, what kind of a gentle man would I be. To let you walk home alone this late. I will not hear of it at all. Plus if my mom ever heard that I let a friend of Nick's, walk home alone. She would still kick, my butt. I maybe old, but you know what. She still scares me." He said. She was gonna say something again. But he put his finger back over her mouth. She giggled, as he shook his head. "Look, here's what I will do. I will park my car like four blocks from your dorm. Then we can walk the rest of the way. I know that you like the fresh air. That's why you walk right, since you have spent most of your time being busy."

Demi eyes, got big. She nodded her head. "I just freaked you out, by that answer didn't I." She bit her lip again. He looked at her lips. He groaned inwardly. Wishing he was kissing those plum lips.
