Addiction: A Jemi Story

Chapter 19: Throwing

Demi's POV

I wake up in Joe's arms that night, I look up and see the light from the tv screen. It looks like we both fell asleep during the movie. I get up and crawl out of his arms, he mumbles something but stays asleep. I go to the TV and turn it off, the room goes completely dark now. I struggle to find my way back to Joe, I shake him so we can go upstairs and to bed. Everyone else is probably asleep. My eyes start to adjust to the darkness, Joe simply says " Five more minutes mom. "

I laugh and lean down next to him so that my head is right next to his. I then whisper in his ear " If I was your mom, would I do this?"

I then kiss him passionately, he wakes up instantly starts to kiss me back. He then pulls me to him so i'm laying on top of him. The kiss deepens and makes me wonder if he really was asleep before. He releases and says " Can you wake me up everyday?"

I smile and reply " If you want. " I then got up and grabbed his hand pulling him up with me. We then walk up the two set of stairs since we were in the basement and go into his room. Winston lays on Joe's bed waiting for us. I sit down next to him and pet him while Joe goes and grabs an extra blanket. It was coming down hard outside with snow, the room was slightly freezing. When Joe comes back, we crawl under the covers and go back to sleep while Winston sleeps at the end of the bed.

Joe's POV

I breath deeply seeing my breath in the cold air, the sun shines and its bright. I look over at my partner in crime ready to throw the cold snowball in my hand. Frankie nods his head before we run out from under our huge snow fort. I throw my snow ball right at Demi on the other side of the yard who is making more snowballs. Kevin throws one at me and hits me straight in the chest, now this is war.

I grab a few more snowballs I made before and start to throw some at Kevin, then a few at Demi who I miss on purpose. I run to her after my ammo is gone and tackle her to the ground of snow laughing the whole time. She laughs and starts to shove snow in my face. I then pin her down making us both relax, before I can say anything though, a snowball plummets towards me and hits me in the back of the head. I turn my head to find Frankie standing there smiling. I then say " I thought we were on a team dude?"

" Kevin says he can sneak me an extra cookie if I joined his. " He says grinning throwing another snowball at my back. I glare at him.

" So, your saying a cookie is more important than beating these guys together? " I ask wondering the lengths he would go for a cookie.

" Yeah pretty much. " He says smiling making another snowball making me jump away from Demi so he won't hit me. When I start to run away from everyone back to my fort, everyone starts to throw snowballs at me. A few missed, a few are straight on target. I get in my fort and make more snowballs, that's when Demi runs and slides right next to me.

" I'm on your team now. " She says smiling leaning over to me giving me a kiss, why does she always do this to me? She can distract me so easily by her kiss, I deepen it and pull her in close to me.

" I thought you wanted to win. " She says on my lips, I release from her seeing her beautiful face in the sunlight.

" Oh we will. " I say getting back to making snowballs, she does the same. After we have a pretty good supply, we start to throw them to the enemy's side only getting a few on target.

The heat from the fire warms me up quick, and so does the hot chocolate in my hand. Demi and I sit by the fire and drink our hot chocolate trying to warm up our freezing hands and toes. Our hair is wet from the snow and our noses are pink from the cold. So techinacaly we lost our snowball fight, but it was all because Nick and Danielle had joined their side. It was fun though, just goofing around with my family and Demi. Im glad that Nick is coming around slowly, I think it's because of his new girlfriend. I'm glad he's found someone too, and Selena seems like a nice girl. I look over at Demi who is staring deely into the fire, I wish I knew what she was thinking. She always has that facial expression I can't detect when she's thinking hard.

" You ok? " I ask just making sure, she turns her head and looks at me with a smile on her face. She nods and scoots closer to me so we are touching.

" Never been better. " She says laying her head on my shoulder making me think the exact same thing. I smile to her response, I don't think I could ever be more happy with anyone else.
