Candy Kisses

[Kaddy2006]

Author's Note: Yay! So, this is sort of my first "series" of stories. And strangely enough, it starts with Joe. Why? I have no idea. I started getting into Jonas Brothers stories when I was writing in the Hannah Montana section of Fanfiction.net (before riot broke out, and they were trying to get us to move our stories. Though, I was a good authoress, and moved my JB stories to A Cinderella Story. Now they have a Camp Rock catorgory). Anyways, I hope you like this series because I really enjoyed writing them. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, PM me!

Chapter One: Meet Carlson
Yes, my first name is actually a guy's name.


But, I happen to like my name.


I know: you're laughing right now.


You're also thinking this too: whose parents would name a girl Carlson?


That would happen to be my parents, David and Greta Scott, residents of Sacramento, California.


Or should I say, my mother.


My father died when I was thirteen, in a car crash several years ago.


Ever since then, my mother has placed me in all of these things to keep my mind off him: school plays, dance, marching band, you name it.


But, it was also the time that I discovered music, and a certain band, The Jonas Brothers.


Their music help me escape, believe it or not.


I guess you can say I became a fan after seeing "Year 3000" on Disney Channel, and I've been hooked to their music ever since.


It was a Thursday afternoon in June, and me and my best friend, Tina Emerson, were sitting in my backyard, reading magazines, and Tina looked at me through her sunglasses.


"Remember when I said that my mother applied me for this hotel called The Hampton Inn?"


I nodded as I flipped to a page with Joe Jonas on it.


"Yeah...why?"


"Well, I didn't want to do it alone, so I applied for you, and--"


The magazine that I was holding fell the ground, and I looked at her.


"Tina, I don't want to interect with hotel guests!"


"I know, but think of all the fun we are going to have! Besides, isn't your mother begging you to get a job?"


Instead of me moping around the house all summer, my mother wanted me to get a job.


Now I finally have one, thanks to Tina.


"Yeah, but this isn't what I had in mind. I thought I'd would work at Pets Galore or something."


"And miss the chance to see cute guys or international celebrities? Come on, Carly."


"Hey, cute guys buy puppies or kittens, you know." I stated, and Tina rolled her eyes.


"Oh, yeah. That sounds really romantic."


There was something else I forgot to mention:


Me and Tina are hopeless romantics.


During the summer, we try to find boyfriends, but it doesn't always turn out the way we wanted, so we always give up.


But, this summer, I was going to find myself the perfect guy.


"So, are you with me or not? Because The Hampton Inn is going to call you with your job position."


I looked at her again.


"I guess...it depends on what jobs were left."


"It was between the maid or the candy counter girl."


That's when I really looked at her.


"You have got to be kidding me."


"I'm not." Tina replied, and I bit my lower lip.


As I stated earlier, I don't like interecting with people.


I've always been a little quiet, and I happen to be shy.


Sometimes, people call me snobby, or stuck-up, which isn't true.


So, maybe one of those jobs can bring out the best in me....


"I guess candy counter girl doesn't sound too bad." I commented, and Tina grinned.


"You'd be like Ashley Tisdale when she's being Maddie on The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody! Too cute!"


Oh, yes.


So cute indeed.


"What are you? I mean, your job." I said.


"I'm the activities director. I plan the activities. Mostly, though, I'm the baby-sitter. You get to stack candy and meet cute boys."


I rolled my eyes as I picked up my magazine.


"Stacking candy is not fun. And I bet I'll just meet little boys who would want to hit on me."


At that, Tina burst out laughing, and so did I.


"Well, it's true!" I said, and Tina shook her head as she wiped away a tear with her finger.


"Oh, Carlson...you'll meet a really amazing guy, I just know it. And it won't be a little guy, neither."


"Yeah...I totally believe you. And my dream guy happens to be a celebrity, if you didn't notice!" I repiled, showing her Joe Jonas, and Tina smiled.


"Maybe the Jonas Brothers will come to The Hampton Inn, and you can meet Joe."


That's when I sighed.


Because The Jonas Brothers weren't coming to California until June third.


Which was the day that Tina and I started to work.


"Come on. Why would a famous band like the Jonas Brothers crash at The Hampton Inn?" I asked.


"Because they know that cute girls such as ourselves are there?" Tina shot back, and I just had to grin.


"We're such dorks." I stated, and Tina shook her head.


"Not dorks. We're just hopeless romantics."


"And that's the problem. We never get guys because we have high standards." I explained.


"No, that's you. You except this guy to be excately what you wanted, because he never turns out this way."


Which was true, I guess:


The guy I wanted had to be sweet.


The guy I wanted had to be musically-gifted.


The guy I wanted had to be kind.


The guy I wanted had to be respective of girls.


The list just went on and on, and even though guys have liked me in the past, they just never compared to the other guys I've dated or liked.


But, that was all about to change.


"I guess I see your point, Tina." I said, and she nodded as she stood up from her chair.


"You know I'm right. And you'll never know with this job. Maybe something will happen."


"You think so?" I asked, and Tina nodded.


"I know so."


And with those words, I believed her.

i love it! post more soon =]

Author's Note: Here's chapter two! Enjoy!


Chapter Two: Love At First Sight
"We're now landing in Sacramento, California." the flight stewtress said over the intercom.


I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, and looked out the window.


We were now landing the airport of Sacramento, the second concert spot me and my brothers were going to be peforming at.


"Here. Maybe this will wake you up." Kevin said, pushing a coffee in front of my face, and I snatched it, practically gulping down the whole entire thing.


"Thanks." I said, and Kevin nodded as he looked at Nick, who was sleeping on the opposite side of him.


"Hey, stud muffin. Wake up." I said, getting up to throw my coffee away, and smiled as I wacked him in the back of the head.


Nick groaned, and rubbed the back of his head, finally awake.


"Do you always need to do that?" he asked me, and I smiled.


"Yep. Sure do." I replied, and Kevin sighed as he shook his head.


"Enough fighting, you two. Once we get settled into our rooms, we all deserve a nap." Kevin replied, getting up as well, and Nick shook his head.


I was the first one to step off the plane before my brothers, and took in the Californian view.


Sacramento wasn't that different from Los Angles (besides all the celebrities that kept wandering around on the street like a normal person), but certainly had a celebrity-feel to it.


Kevin and Nick soon joined me, and we searched for the car that would take us to The Hampton Inn.


Finally, we found a limo driver that was holding up a sign that read "The Jonas Brothers", we walked on over there, carefully not trying to attract attention.


"Good morning, boys." the driver told us, and gave us a smile.


"My name is Lars, so if you have any questions, let me know."


As we got into the limo, I asked Lars, "What is The Hampton Inn like?"


"The Hampton Inn is very rich, I hear. You'll like it, I'm sure."


We looked at each other just then.


"Well, just as long as it's a hotel, we're good." Nick commented, and I raised my hand.


"I second that." I stated, and Kevin and Nick laughed.


Finally, Lars drove up to the driveway of The Hampton Inn, and we offered to get our stuff from the trunk, but Lars denied.


"That is what I'm here for, boys. Go check in and have a nice time."


We did as we were told, and walked into The Hampton Inn.


Guests were milling around in the front lobby, and I spied a candy counter:


But, it wasn't just the candy that caught my eye, but it was the girl who was working behind it.


Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kevin nudge Nick, and they both grinned.


"What is it?" I asked.


"Joe found himself another girl." Kevin told me jokely.


"So what if I did?" I shot back.


"Dude, you can't keep your crushes straight. Remember the girl in Orlando?" Nick asked.


"Yeah--" I started to say, but then Kevin cut me off.


"And don't forget the girl that was in Nashville." Kevin pointed out, and I glared at them.


"So?" I asked, and they looked at each other.


"So, you're hardly in the town to actually talk to her. It's just a one time thing. It's just puppy love." Kevin said, and I looked at the girl again.


She happened to be my age, if not younger, and had blonde hair that reached down her back (as far as I could tell), and green eyes, and possibly alot shorter than me.


She was also wearing The Hampton Inn uniform: tan skirt with a white, button-down shirt, white socks, and black boots.


The only thing that didn't match the attire was the black tie, which held her nametag.


Very Maddie from the Suite Life Of Zack And Cody.


"I'm going over there." I told them, and Kevin nodded.


"Okay. Just don't give her a hard time." Kevin replied, and I smirked as I walked over to her.


"Is it love at first sight, or do I have to walk by again?"


The girl twirled around, and she looked at me.


"Look, I don't have time for guys like you. Neither you buy something, or leave."


I was taken back at her tone of voice, but I didn't let her see it.


Instead, I gave her another smile.


"A candy bar would be nice. But, taking you out to be even nicer."


I saw that she tried to hide a smile, while grabbing my candy bar in the progress.


"Thanks for the offer, but I don't date guests."


I grinned in her direction.


Now this is was a girl I liked!


"Then, what kind of guys do you date?"


She started say something, but she got cut off.


"Carlson! Stop flirting with the guests!"


A woman with red hair walked over to us, frowning.


The girl, now known as Carlson, blushed, and I smiled.


"I'm sorry." the woman stated, and I looked at the woman.


"It's okay. She's not doing anything wrong." I said, grabbing my candy bar, and then paying for it.


The woman sighed.


"Well, if she does, just give me a hollar."


I nodded, and as the woman walked away, I looked at Carlson, who was blushing like a cherry.


"Thanks for the candy bar, babe." I said, giving her a wink, and headed for the upstairs, without seeing her reaction to my statement.


As I walked into our room, I saw that Nick and Kevin were already in their beds, sleeping, which was probably what I should be doing, but I didn't.


I undid my wrapper, and took a bite out of my candy bar, thinking about Carlson.


She wasn't really what I excepted from fan, if she was, I mean.


No fan would ever talk to me (or my brothers) like that, but maybe she didn't know who I was.


But, then again, I sort of liked it.


She was sort of a girl that I found refreshing, and I possibly see myself with her, once I get past the tough barrier.


"So, how did it go with the candy counter girl?"


I jumped, and looked at Kevin, who had rolled over on his bed to face me.


"It went okay. I think she likes me."


Kevin rolled his eyes, and rolled back over in his bed, and I smiled.


So, maybe that was a lie:


But, maybe there was a way to change her mind...

Haha ever since Suite Life started, candy counter girl seemed like a pretty good summer job. ESPECIALLY if the jonas brothers were to stay at that hotel
