1. Not possible

-Here's your lemonade... –Caitlin had her first client that day. More important, that client was a really handsome guy. The trendy, well dressed jock type Caitlin always liked.

-Well thank you, I'm really thirsty this morning. –He smiled at her. –By the way, my name is Stanley. You don't mind telling yours?

-It's Caitlin.

-Beautiful name, I must say... –He said and was waiting for response. It was obvious he was going to hit on her.

-Oh, thanks. –Caitlin said in unconcerned voice, got a girl magazine from under the counter and started reading it.

-Hmmmmm... Caitlin, maybe you could tell me when you close the Lemon? –His allusion was so clear that even Jude could understand it if he was there.

-About 4 pm... –She still wasn't paying much attention to him.

-Hmmm... Do you have some plans after that? I mean... Would you consider going out with me to the cinema or something? –He smiled again and any girl, maybe except Nikki, would go for that type of smile.

-No, sorry, I'm not available today. –She didn't look him into eyes, she was just reading the magazine with bored face expression.

-Oh, sorry to bother you... But maybe some other time? – Stanley asked that question with small hope in his voice.

-I don't know. I don't think so...

-Well, not a problem. Thanks for the drink. –He said sadly and turned around.

Nikki, who was sitting in the usual spot near the Lemon, by the table, was astonished. It was the first time Caitlin really surprised her. She was silent through the conversation, but her jaw on the floor was explaining everything.

-Cait, could you pinch me? I think that's a dream.

Caitlin was still reading, or rather looking through the magazine without paying attention to her surroundings, including Nikki just 2 meters away.

-Cait? CAITLIN! –Nikki shouted to somehow wake up Lemon Girl from her daydreaming.

-Huh... Oh, Hi Nikki, I didn't see you sitting here.

-I'm sitting here for a half an hour. And I can't believe what I just saw on my own eyes.

-And that is?... –Cait didn't really have a clue or was a good actress.

-Hmmmmm... Let's think... You, in the ridiculously looking lemon hat. A nice guy, not my type, but yours definitely. He talks to you, and you know that's odd because of that lemon on your head. He hits on you even, try to ask you out. Normally, you would be just be blossoming and cheerful and do something stupid like pouring a lemonade on him, but, here comes the best part... –There was a long pause in Nikki's monologue- YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT GUY! You, of all girls in a world! What the heck is going on Cait? I hate to admit it, but I'm worried about you, lemon-head!

Cait face expression was showing shock and confusion. Then her mascara flown on her cheeks when she started to cry. Nikki was used to see Caitlin cry out of nothing sometimes.

-Wa... Wait, Lemon-head isn't such a big abuse... –Nikki lost her sarcasm temper, worrying that she caused those tears. –Hey, Cait, I didn't mean that... Awww, you're such a softie, stop crying... –She stood up and hugged Caitlin.

-That's (sob) not your fault Nikki (sob)... I've just realized (sob) how stupid I am (sob)... –Caitlin had hard time saying even one sentence, her tears were flowing.

-Heeeey, You know that you're not stupid... I can't believe you turned me into such a care bear... –Nikki's "good-friend" mode was turned on.

-I can't belive it either. –Jonesy appeared in the middle of conversation with a smile on his face. –Hi my beautiful, hi Cait. What happened?

He kissed Nikki in her cheek as he approached the girls and was eager to know what happened.

-You're not gonna believe it anyway... –Nikki said, while Caitlin was spreading her mascara all over Nikki's white top.

-I'm all ears. –Jonesy sat comfortably on the Big Squeeze's counter.

-So, to make things short... I think Cait is in love. –Nikki straightened all out. She saw Caitlin like that before many times, not thinking about anything but a one guy... But she never called herself stupid because of falling in love. That was serious...

...Especially when Cait said:

-I CANNOT BE IN LOVE, YOU HEAR! –She freaked out. –Don't talk about me like I'm not here!

-Oh, and why is that? You are in love about six times a month. –Nikki returned to her normal "bad" self, as Caitlin stopped hugging her. –And how I'm gonna clean that whole mascara? –She added when she saw her top in black smudges.

-Wait wait wait, girls, no need to argue! –Jonesy hated to participate in girl quarrels. He always got hurt when he tried not to take any side of conflict. –Nik, calm down and let Caitlin speak for herself.

-Did I tell you that I hate when you sound reasonable? –Nikki looked at Jonesy raising a brow.

-Yeah, actually you did... yesterday.

They both smiled and blushed when the vision of what happened after Nikki said the same sentence appeared in their heads.

-Ok, Cait, stop crying and freaking, just tell us what is bothering you. –Nikki returned to the main topic.

-You see... –Caitlin said in a sad voice- I can't be in love with THAT guy...

Yup, that's the part one. Hope you liked it, next part will be here soon. Stay tuned :)
