Demi Lovato is a typical college student, but is also secretly part of an unit of special agents - undercover cops-. Her life changes and takes an unexpected turn when her team receives a dangerous mission. Meanwhile, new feelings are starting to de...
Was he being harsh on Demi? Joe wondered as he cleaned the kitchen late restaurant's kitchen late at night. After all, she didn't do anything wrong except insulting Taylor. She seemed truly hurt this morning, especially when he mentioned the woman of his life. Was she really jealous?
"No, Demi isn't like that," murmured Joe to himself.
Surprisingly, it hurt him to think that Demi loathed him right from the first time they met. He was hitting on her without knowing that she was the new member of their team, and earned himself a slap for being naughty.
"What are you thinking about?" said Taylor, appearing in the kitchen. "A girl?"
"No one but you," flirted the young man while winking at her.

Taylor blushed -and he liked to see her blush-, and patted his shoulder. "I could say the same."
Joe smiled to himself, pleased. He was pretty confident about conquering her soon. He has always been scared of commitment -he never even thought about it-, but not this time. Taylor was really the one.
"Would you please give me the honor to take you on a date with me tomorrow?" He asked politely, hoping for a positive answer.
Taylor's face reddened but she nodded her head anyway. It wasn't her first date, but this time, it was finally with someone she was falling for and not one of the filthy rich boys that her father presented her. "Yes, of course!" She answered, ignoring her fast and furious heartbeat.
Joe smirked, proud of his outstanding skills, and thought about Demi for no particular reason. What did she say last time? That he wasn't irresistible? Joe almost sighed because even if he acts arrogant, he isn't an arrogant person deep down. He knows that he's anything but irresistible.
Because if he really was, Demi would fall for him.
And that would be so cool.
Really cool. More like awesome.
Later
I smiled as I heard the dial tone after speaking with Selena for almost one hour. She told me everything about the mission and didn't stop talking about some security agent. I think she has a crush and I'm sincerely happy for her. Selena is so innocent, delicate, and she needs a real man to take care of her.
On the other hand, Miley has Nick's heart and we all know it somehow. I once caught them kissing but didn't say anything to embarrass them. They're perfect for each other.
My mind wandered to Joe and I felt like crying. We have a practically inexistent relationship, so I have to keep my feelings a secret. Otherwise, he'd laugh at me forever and my pride would be lost.
At this moment, the hotel room's door flew open and Joe entered with a foolish smile. I raised an eyebrow at his happy expression and couldn't help but ask: "What made you so jelly?"
He looked at me in surprise, like he didn't even acknowledge my presence before. Ouch. I mentally crossed my fingers, hoping that he wasn't thinking about that stupid Taylor girl again.
"Taylor agreed to go out with me," he replied with a big grin.
I put my arms on my hips, unfortunately not surprised with the news. I tried to disguise my hurt but I'm not sure if I succeeded. Joe could read me like no one else's do; maybe because of our mutual hate or the fact that we bickered every day for months.
"No Demi, don't try to change my mind about her," warned Joseph before I could even respond a sarcastic remark. "I know it might sound dangerous, but you know how aware I am. This relationship will absolutely not affect our mission. Actually, it might even help us since if she trusts me more, she will tell me more secrets about Zac."
I groaned and lied on my bed, staring at the speckled ceiling, my mind reeling with the craziness of my feelings. Jealousy, definitely jealousy. All day, I debated with myself on whether I liked him or not, but my heart knew since such a long time. Since the day we met each other and he tried to flirt.
"Just don't stalk us and it'll go fine," he concluded, sitting on the couch leg-crossed.
I shook my head, wondering if I should follow him. I was intrigued, yes, to meet this girl who seemed to change him. Maybe she wasn't that bad after all but I blocked my mind for giving her a chance. Truthfully, I've never been the jealous type of girl, so why this time? So many questions, but love is simply complicated.
Did I just say, love? Gosh, I was going crazy. He made me go crazy.

I glanced at Joe and found him absorbed on his phone. Surely texting his soon-to-be wife, who else? He didn't even throw a look at me to see if I was alright. How uncool is that? To kill time, I picked up mine and searched for the girls in my contacts. My heart froze when I saw one single text from Ariana. My Ariana.
Why did she text me? Weren't she mad at me? Oh gosh... I felt so nervous when I opened it.
Demi. I'm sorry. I haven't been a good best friend, so it's my fault. I shouldn't have yelled at you and blamed you for everything. Tell me the truth whenever you're ready; there is no rush. I hope that you're doing alright, and if you are, please take care. I will always be by your side no matter what. :) Love wins. Ari xx
I smiled, holding my tears. She has such an amazing personality, and I wonder what made her change her mind. Feeling so much better, I dropped my phone and curled myself under the bed sheets.
The second day of the mission already ended. I retained myself from glancing at Joe to not be humiliated like last time and surrendered to the increasing tiredness.
