I Promise {Jemi}

Chapter 29

Demi

I woke up the next morning as I felt the warmth of a body. I tilted my head and saw Joe smiling looking down at me. I smiled back.

"Morning babe." He stroked my hair softly.

"Good morning. How long have you been awake?" I asked him.

"I woke up a few minutes ago. You know I can get used to this in the mornings." He smiled at me. I giggled.

"I think I could get used to it too." He kissed my forehead.

"I love you." I crawled on top of him and then pecked his lips.

"I love you too and I had a really fun time yesterday." He smiled which made me smile also.

"Me too. Let's go and eat some breakfast cause I smell pancakes." He gently got up and put on some pajama pants. I bit my lip trying my best not to stare at him. His toned body. Ugh.

"Staring isn't your strong suit babe." He said to me. My cheeks turned a bit red. He chuckled. He grabbed my hands and pulled me up.

"Let's eat breakfast." Breakfast. The thought of food right now doesn't sound appetizing right now. I then remembered all the food I ate yesterday and felt sick. I can't believe I ate all of that food.

"I'm not hungry." I said quietly but loud enough for him to hear. I sat back down on the bed. He gave me a concerned look.

"You're not hungry or you don't want to eat." I looked at my hands in my lap fiddling with them.

"Demi... you have to eat. You're doing so well. Please do it for me." He grabbed my hands and softly held them. I looked up at him and he had a soft look in his eyes.

"Okay." He got up and helped me up. I went to the bathroom and got ready. Inspecting myself in the mirror.

You're beautiful.

I kept repeating it to myself. I took a deep breath and went out. Joe smiled at me and kissed my temple. He whispered in my ear.

"You're beautiful the way you are and I will always love you." It warmed my heart and I smiled at him. We sat down at the table and Joe sat next to me. I put a pancake, a sausage, and bits of eggs on my plate. I fiddled with my food for a bit. I cut the sausage into a small piece and took a bite. I looked at Joe and he was smiling at me. I chewed it and swallowed it. I can feel it going through my throat and landing in my stomach. I cut another piece.

"So did you guys have fun yesterday? You came home pretty late." Mr. Jonas said.

"Yeah we had fun! We watched the fireworks and it was a madhouse getting out." Joe chuckled out. I put my fork down. Joe looked at me. Encouraging me. He put his hand on my thigh and softly rubbed it up and down. I started eating again.

"Joe stop! I can't breathe!!" He was tickling me to death. We were now back in his room after breakfast.

"Not until you say it." He kept going, laughing.

"No." I kept laughing trying to get away from his hands. They just kept tickling me.

"Demi.." He kept doing it. I obliged.

"Joe is the sexiest person ever." He stopped I got my breath back.

"Why thank you." He sat back laying his head against the bed board.

"That seriously hurt." I sat between his legs as he wrapped his arms around my sides. I put my hands on top of his.

"You could have ended it faster if you just said it." I playfully rolled my eyes while I played with his fingers.
