Story for angellwings' birthday. Which is today. She asked for a Natella, and I was only too happy to oblige. With the necessary Jaitlyn in it of course. It's going to be two, maybe three chapters. So look for quick updates. Or maybe slow. Either way.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOGAN. You are a truly great friend, and I'm lucky to know you. Thanks for all the help with stories, and for listening to me complain about school stuff and friends and family and whatever else it is that we talk about.
This goes for all my FF friends, but Logan gets a shout-out because it's her birthday.
"And you want to set up Nate and Ella why?" Jason asked Caitlyn as he flopped down on his bed.
"Because…don't you want to see your friends happy?" she asked, laying on her stomach next to him.
"But…they're so…different…" Jason said, furrowing his brow.
"You could say the same thing about us, dude. And actually," Caitlyn trailed off, smiling, "one of the boy's counselors already said so…"
Jason propped himself up on his elbows and narrowed his eyes. "Which counselor?" he ground out. "If it's that Brian guy again…"
Caitlyn smiled and pushed Jason back down to the bed. "You need to calm down, sir. Brian's not my type…he's too…dignified and unflappable."
"But seriously, where'd you get that Nate and Ella idea from?" Jason asked, pulling Caitlyn against him in a hug.
She sighed and put her chin in her hands, oblivious to Jason's slight groan of pain as her elbows dug into his chest. "I don't know…they just interact really well together…and Ella kind has a thing for him and it'd just be cool to have the six of us dating because we all already hang out together all the time but I think sometimes they get tired of us two and Mitchie and Shane acting all couple-y at times. So what do you think? Yay or nay?"
"I think you've been spending too much time with Mitchie and not enough with me," Jason said, pushing her elbows off of his clavicle. Good gravy, were Caitlyn's elbows pointy.
"I'm not the one who had to leave camp to go record a single for three days," Caitlyn said. "Actually…three days. That's a long time to be recording a single, isn't it? Maybe I'm a bit of a distraction for you…"
"Caity, I'm distracted by everything," Jason said.
Caitlyn gave him a stern look.
"Except by other girls, of course," he said quickly.
Caitlyn smiled. "Better. But seriously. What do you think about it?"
Jason was silent for a moment as he bit his lip and studied Caitlyn's face. She looked at him with that pleasepleaseplease puppy dog face and he sighed. He was a total softy when it came to his girlfriend.
"Fine," he sighed, sitting up. "What exactly do you have in mind?"
Caitlyn smiled. "Well, I know what we can't do."
"Which is…?"
"Well, Ella's girly, so we can't dress her up and hope that Nate gets all slack-jawed over it, so that's out."
Jason leaned close to Caitlyn. "You can dress up anytime you want…" he whispered. Caitlyn jumped off his bed with a blush.
"Shut up," she said, hitting his shoulder. "You know I don't like it when you do stuff like that."
"Don't lie to me, Caity," Jason said, pulling her back to him and making her sit on his lap.
"…that wasn't a lie. I hate it when you give me goosebumps like that," Caitlyn said with a sigh. She crossed her arms and stared sullenly at the hole in her jeans.
Jason smirked. "You should maybe get over that. I like giving you goosebumps."
She turned her head towards him. "Jase…you're mean," but there was a smile on her face, so it had little effect.
"Well, I'll make it up to you by actually helping you set up Ella and Nate and not just agreeing that it'd be a good idea."
"Really?" Caitlyn asked, a big smile on her face.
"Yeah, why not?" he shrugged. "It might be nice to do something for them."
Caitlyn wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. "You are awesome and wonderful and I'm totally lucky to have such a nice guy as my boyfriend," she said, cuddling against him.
He kissed the top of her head. "You are lucky."
Caitlyn gave him another look.
"And so am I," he said immediately.
She smiled.
"I can't believe you trained me so well in just a few weeks of dating…" Jason commented.
"I'm good at manipulation," Caitlyn said.
"Well obviously. I mean, you're planning on setting up two people who are quite possibly the two most jinx-y-ish when it comes to being set up."
"That's when it was Shane and Mitchie trying to set them up. We're different. And Shane and Mitchie were setting them up with all kinds of crazy people. We're setting them up with each other. Any crazy the other one has won't be much of a surprise and they already know how to handle it."
"Fair point. I don't even know why Shane thought that that crazy Sierra girl would be a good idea for Nate. She was…"
"Fake from her tan to Gucci bag?" Caitlyn offered.
"The tan was obvious, but…how'd you know about the bag?"
Caitlyn's eyes went wide in slight panic. "Because…I'm a girl and I know these things?" she said slowly.
Jason shrugged. "Okay. How do you want to go about Operation…Natella?"
Caitlyn snorted. "Nice name.
"What?" Jason whined.
"Nothing. It's a good thing you're already rich and famos and cute though."
Jason's eyes narrowed. "You do realize I'm bigger than you, right? And if you keep using thinly veiled insults against me, I'll retaliate, right?"
"Oh, really?"
Jason grinned evilly and before Caitlyn knew what was happening, she was flat on her back and Jason was looming over her, his hands tickling her sides.
"JASON!" Caitlyn shrieked through her laughter. "JASON, OKAY, OKAY. YOU WIN!"
He smiled and kissed her forehead. "You're not the only one who can train their significant other."
"Just for that," Caitlyn said, "You get this." She shoved him off of her and took off running for the door, jumping off the porch and made for the dining hall, laughing as she heard Jason clambering and wheezing behind her.
Caitlyn was almost to the door when she saw the line of people coming out the door, but she didn't stop in time and before she could catch herself, she ran over Ella who then knocked over Nate who was standing in front of her.
"Ca-Cait-Caitlyn…" Jason gasped, appearing behind the three teens and helping Caitlyn to her feet. "Do-don't do that anymore. The running and the jumping over bushes and stuff. These jeans are really tight."
"Not my problem, dude," Caitlyn said with a smile. "Besides," she said quietly, cocking her head in the direction of Ella and Nate, who were both trying to look at each other while at the same time, not look at each other. "Look what I made happen."
Jason rolled his eyes and put an arm around Caitlyn's waist, leading her away from the other two.
"This is going to get ridiculous, isn't it?"
"Yep. And you're going to love every minute of it."
