Sing Sing Sing (Nick & Demi) (Nemi)

VII: Tell Me You Love Me

DEMI

When Nick left the Bar I felt like an idiot.. I thought he was going to declare his feelings and somehow, I became a bitch.. probably because I was scared of what was about to happen..

You see.. even though Nick and I don't talk much, yesterday when we were singing I felt something kind of different ignite.. we had such a great connection and, if I say so.. we did have a lot of chemistry...

But even though I knew we were compatible, I could never ever date him.. I was done with that bullshit.. it only brings problems, even more problems when you have a child..

Yes.. I do have a child.. Elle.. my sweetheart and the only thing I am focused on.. I can't date anyone, I can't get distracted.. I have two jobs not because it's fun, but because I want to give my daughter the entire world, and I can't do it if I'm not focused

I sat by the stool and Joe came closer to me - Hum.. where's Nick?

I looked up and rolled my eyes - He left.. I guess..

- You guess? - Joe asked - What happened?

I took a deep breath and took a sip of my drink.. the drink he prepared to me the first time I ever came.. I couldn't remember what the hell was it's name, but both of the brothers knew that was the one I wanted..

- I thought he was going to ask me out, and insted he just wanted to sing with me..

Joe frowned his face - Just that?..

I shrugged - I may or may not have been a bitch about it..

Joe put the piece of clothe down - Ok.. spill it.. let me help you..

- It was nothing.. I told him I would never date him.. - Joe raised his eyebrow knowing that I was hiding something so I took a deep breath - specially not him.. - I completed shamefully

Joe started coughing - Oh no.. - he said between coughs - Demi! That's not how you tell someone you don't want anything to do with them.. even worse! You did it to Nick! - Joe chuckled - Oh god.. I'm gonna find him crying all over the couch all day again

I frowned - what do you mean? It wasn't that big of a deal..

Joe took a deep breath - He broke off his engagement a little before last year's Christmas.. like.. 7 months ago..

- Oh.. I didn't know.. - I blurted - What happened?

- Nick won't tell anyone.. - Joe said with a small smile on his lips - all I know is that.. it was really ugly.. and that.. his self esteem went from all time high to the lowest of lows.. but now, I bet it's non exhistent.. - he groaned bringing his hands up to rub his face

- Oh God.. I feel terrible for what I said..

- It's fine Demi.. you didn't know.. but.. - he started - If you don't mind me asking, why don't you want to be with him? You two have an amazing conection..

- We barely talk Joe - I said rolling my eyes

- Please.. you guys may not talk but whenever I look at you, you're watching him, and whenever you're singing, Nick is staring with this stupid smile on his face.. You guys are gonna be together.. I could bet my entire life on it - Joe chuckled - please don't think I'm a creep - he joked

I chukled - You sound a little bit..

I moved my drink around with the straw and thought for a while about what I've done.. I felt terrible.. but I couldn't take it back.. it was said and done..

- You know.. he's an amazing guy.. he's the best guy I've ever met actually.. - Joe said standing up

- You're playing the wingman now?
