Chapter Eleven: Live to Party

I spat out my water all over him and then he hugged me, holding his phone and taking a picture of us. He still wanted a picture with me even though he's drenched?

"But you don't even know my name!" I shouted at him.

"Yeah I do," He replied. "Jessica, right?"

Damn. He is good. A little too good if I'm going to be completely honest with myself.

"How do you know that?" I asked him.

He shrugged.

"Lucky guess!" He responded.

"Lucky guess my ass!" I replied. "Now seriously, how do you know my name?"

Joe took a second to pause and then turned himself toward me again. This time, he put me in his lap. Does he not know human decency at the smallest bit?

"Kevin overheard it while you two were checking into the cruise yesterday," Joe answered.

I sighed, and took another cup of water. I looked down at his cheetah printed pants. I sighed again, looking at the wall.

"So, this starts in September, and then after a few months, we'll have a fake breakup?" I asked him.

"Yep." He replied, as he stood up and walked to the door.

He walked out of the room and then I looked at my phone, seeing several texts from Tessa telling me to go to the club downstairs with her. I got changed out of Joe's clothes and into a way better looking set of clothing from my suitcase.

As I walked down to the club on the cruise, I looked out for Tessa. After finally finding her, I ran over to her. She was talking to one of the brothers. I couldn't tell if it was Nick or Kevin, but she looked so normal and I knew it wasn't Joe. He wasn't at the party at all.

"JESSICA!" Tessa exclaimed. "You made it!"

"Sure did," I replied.

Tessa smiled at the brothers and then looked over at me, wrapping her arms around me.

"This is Jessica," Tessa told them. "She's my best friend."

The two brothers looked at each other and then looked back at us, as Nick raised his eyebrow, giving us the smolder that Dwayne Johnson does in all his movies.

"You're the girl that spilt her coffee on Joe!" Nick said.

"Sure am!" I replied.

"Again, we are so sorry about that," Tessa replied, as she started to dance with them.

"I'm not!" I said, walking to the table Tessa ordered for us.

I sighed, taking my first drink of the night at Tessa's table. It was a hard whiskey and I heard footsteps come to my table. I look up to see that it's Joe Jonas. Again.

"This seat taken?" He asked, gesturing to the seat next to me. I shook my head. "Clubs and parties are usually my thing, I'm just not in the mood tonight."

"They aren't really my thing," I replied to him. "I came here with my best friend, who right now, is talking to your brothers!"

Joe looked over the edge and saw his brothers with my friend, nodding and then going back to talking to me.

"Have you thought more about my offer?" He asked me.

"What do I get out of it?" I asked him in response.

"Worldwide fame." He replied. "You'll be able to have any career you want. Singer, actress, you name it and it's yours!"

I scoffed at Joe and then asked for another drink as the waitress made another walk by. Fame was never something I fed for. I dream of things like being able to teach and helping other people out. Fame wasn't something I saw as an out for me, nor was it something I wanted.

"Not appealing enough," I replied, downing my second drink in front of him. "I need more."

"Well, what do you want then?" He asked me.

I looked around the club before I could answer. As I hold my hand up for a third drink, Joe puts my hand down and looks at me with his beautiful hazel eyes.

"I want to know why you're divorcing your wife," I answered him. I didn't actually want to know, I just wanted the satisfaction of annoying him.

He swigged down his drink and then geared his eyes toward me again. As I looked to my left, I could notice that a person was snapping shots of him and I together.

"She cheated on me with a co-star in her upcoming movie and it's eating me inside," He answered. "My brothers keep convincing me that I'll be fine, but I don't feel fine."

His tone was different this time. It changed from a normal annoyed tone to a voice of pain. A voice of hurt.

After realizing why he wanted a fake relationship, I looked at him and held his hand, kissing him on the cheek so that the weird person with their camera could post a picture and start rumors of speculation.

"You can thank me later," I said, leaving the table and Joe to be by himself.
