Boyfriend

"Soooo...how's life?" Clara asked down the phone.

"Eghh...can't complain. You been watching us on the TV?" Jon asked her.

Clara Stephenson. She and Jon had known each other since childhood and he saw her as a sister.

"I have. Some nasty bumps you been taking lately. You need to look after yourself more" she said worried for his safety.

"I'm fine, no need to worry about me" he reassured her.

"You're like my big brother, of course I'm going to worry" she chuckled.

"So what have you been up to lately?" Jon asked.

"Just the usual, college, work, going out with friends" she told him.

"Anything new happen? I have a boring life so I have to live vicariously through you" he told her making her laugh.

"Actually, there is something I've been meaning to tell you" she said.

He waited silently for her to explain.

"I...have got myself a boyfriend" she said, he could hear the smile down the phone.

"A boyfriend huh?" he asked flatly.

"Don't be like thaaaat" she said laughing.

"Like what? I'm not being like anything. I was simply repeating your statement" he told her.

"You're being all Jon" she explained.

"I AM Jon" he answered.

"You know what I mean. Whenever you hear something you don't like, you go all quiet and you get all short tempered and you answer with really big words that were all shocked you know" she told him.

He was silent down the phone.

Clara was one of the only people in Jon's life that he deeply cared for. She was his shoulder to cry on when they were younger. She helped him through a lot of tough times in the past.

"So...do I get to meet this new guy?" he asked her ignoring her previous comments.

"Well that depends" she replied.

"On what?" he asked her.

"On whether you're going to try and rip his head off before you've actually spoken to him" she said.

"Ughh, you think so much of me...thanks" he dead panned.

"I'm serious. Please just give him a chance. He's a really nice guy" she said trying to convince him to behave.

He was quiet.

"Ughh, put Joe or Colby on the phone" she demanded.

Without hesitation, he walked over to Joe and nudged him handing him his phone.

Jon just stood on the spot, a look of deep thought on his face.

Joe frowned when he took the phone and saw his friend acting weird.

"Hello?" he said to the person on the phone.

"Joe?" Clara asked.

"Oh hey baby girl, what's up?" he asked.

He and Colby had met Clara a few times and had fallen in love. She was a small timid girl and beautiful in every way. A few years younger then all of them. She was a sweet kid and they all cared for her deeply.

"Is he standing on the spot? A look of solid concentration on his face?" she asked.

"Yeah, with a small death glare, why?" Joe replied.

"I told Jon that I got my first boyfriend and now he's freaking out" she sighed.

Joe stood and walked to his friend. He clicked his fingers in front on Jon's face but he didn't blink or budge.

"It's like he's frozen in time" he said waving his hand in front of his friends face.

"He'll snap out of it in time" she laughed.

"So, you said you got yourself a boyfriend huh?" Joe said with a chuckle.

"Little rabbit's got herself a boyfriend?" Colby asked picking up on what Joe had asked.

"Is that Colby? Tell him I said hi" Clara told Joe.

"She says hi" Joe relayed the info.

"I was planning on coming for a visit to see you guys but I don't know if I should now" Clara said feeling dejected.

"Why? Because of Jon? Don't worry. We'll get through to him. Come down, bring your new friend and we'll make sure it all goes smoothly" Joe told her.

"Ok. I'll be down in a few days. Tell Jon I said bye. Love you guys" she said before hanging up.

Colby was standing in front of Jon staring at him oddly.

"What's wrong with him?" he asked Joe.

"Clara told him she has a boyfriend" Joe said smiling.

Colby laughed. Jon was insanely over protective of her.

"C'mon brother" Joe said taking Jon by the arm and walking him over to the sofa. If he didn't move him, Jon would be stood there all day.

"Is he ok?" Colby asked.

"Clara said he'll snap out of it when he's ready" Joe explained as he continued to watch TV.

After a few hours, Jon let out a deep sigh and began to look around the room confused.

"What time is it?" he asked his friends.

"Nearly nine" Joe said checking his watch.

"Why'd you let me sleep so long?" Jon asked stretching.

"Dude, you haven't been asleep. You've been sat like a statue since Clara told you she had a boyfriend" Joe explained.

Jon's face suddenly turned red.

"I thought I dreamt that" he huffed.

"Nope. Clara is coming for a visit in a few days and she's bringing her new boyfriend and you will behave yourself" Joe told him sternly.

"Don't tell me what I'll be doing man" Jon snapped.

"Look, she likes the guy. Think of how upset she'll be if you ruin her first relationship" Colby told his friend.

Jon thought about his friend's comment. He was right. Clara would probably stop talking to him for a while to punish him and he didn't want that.

"I'll behave" he told his friends.

They both looked at him not believing a word he said knowing he wouldn't be able to help himself.

A few days had passed and today was the day Clara was coming to visit.

Jon was being surprisingly calm which was NEVER a good sign.

They had tidied that flat ready for her arrival and now they sat and waited.

Colby and Joe were chatting away when they heard the doorbell ring.

They both looked to Jon who stood up slowly and made his way to the front door.

"Twenty bucks says the kid runs out crying within the hour" Colby whispered to Joe.

"You're on" Joe replied bumping fists with his friend.

"Joooooooon" they heard a happy girlish voice screech from the doorway.

Clara flung her arms around his shoulders and squeezed as hard as she could.

She soon let him go and took a long look at him. "You look good" she said smiling.

"I am" he said smiling back.

"Where's...um..." he asked waving his hand in the air.

"Kevin...is parking the car" she said smiling.

"You're going to love him. He's so sweet and kind. And he watches wrestling too" she said.

Jon just nodded.

"Hey baby girl" Joe said when Clara ran over to himself and Colby wrapping them into a strong embrace.

"I missed you guys" she said smiling.

It was at that moment that Colby noticed Jon turn sideways in the door way and watched as a small nerdy looking guy squeezed his way past. Jon's glare never leaving his face for a second.

Clara turned to look at his eye line and sighed.

"Jon" she called.

Jon hesitated for a moment more before looking over to Clara.

Kevin edged his way into the apartment slowly.

"Hi man" Joe said shaking his hand trying to ease the kids nerves.

"Hello" he said nervously.

"Hey" Colby said also shaking his hand.

"Hi Mr Rollins" the kid said politely.

Colby chuckled.

"It's actually Lopez but Colby's fine" Colby told him smiling.

"This is Joe" Clara said patting the larger man on the arm.

"This is Colby" she said ruffling the man's two toned hair making Kevin chuckle.

"And this...is my brother Jon" she said walking over to Jon, wrapping her arm around his waist.

Jon just stared at the boy.

"Um...hello...Sir" he said nervously holding out his hand to shake Jon's.

Jon looked down at the hand then back up to the kid.

Clara, Joe and Colby watched the interaction.

"Ten bucks says he gets him in a headlock" Joe whispered to Colby who nodded.

Jon slowly raised his hand and took a firm hold of Kevin's, shaking it slowly.

Clara released the breath she had been holding and smiled.

Jon was trying at least.

He gave Kevin's hand a quick squeeze before letting his hand drop at his side.

He stared at him for a few moments more before looking at Clara.

"How long are you staying for?" he asked her.

"Just a few hours. I got a paper to finish" she said smiling.

"You staying for dinner?" he asked her.

"Kevin, you want some dinner?" she asked her boyfriend.

"Sure" he said smiling at her briefly before glancing back to Jon who's eyes never left his face.

He was studying the kid for anything and everything.

When Clara showed Kevin into the living room Joe and Colby made their way over to their friend.

"Knock it off" Joe said as he nudged Jon's arm with his own.

"Knock what off?" Jon asked feigning innocence.

"You're sending death glares at the kid. He's probably as nervous as he could be and your staring doesn't make him feel any better" he explained.

"I don't know what you're talking about" Jon said before walking into the living room and taking a seat on the armchair.

Colby and Joe knew what was coming. Better to get it over with.

"Hey Clara, wanna come pick out what you and Kevin want from the pizza place" Colby called out.

Clara gave Kevin's hand a reassuring squeeze before walking over to her brothers friends.

Kevin seemed to shrink even smaller if that were possible under Jon's stare.

"So...how long have you been together?" Jon asked.

"How long?" Kevin asked.

"Did I stutter?" Jon replied.

"S...s...six months. We've been t...together for six months" Kevin told Jon.

Jon's eyes narrowed.

"He said he'd behave" Clara sighed sadly as she stood with Colby and Joe in the kitchen.

"He is" Colby said defending Jon.

"Giving my boyfriend death glares is behaving?" Clara asked annoyed.

"Hey it could be worse. He could have put him in a headlock and choked him out. So far, he's shaken his hand and is now speaking to him. I think he's handling this well" he told her smiling making her roll her eyes.

Once dinner had been ordered, Joe and Colby made small talk with Kevin to try and calm the man's nerves.

Jon didn't speak much. He was an observer.

He would watch people from afar and make his judgement on you from there.

Clara would glance over at her brother from time to time but he never once looked at her. His eyes were solidly fixed on Kevin.

The door bell rang a little while later and Clara stood up and went to go and pay for the food much to the men's distaste.

"That'll be forty five fifty" the delivery guy told her.

She handed the food to Colby behind her as she went through her purse to count out the money.

The delivery guy huffed as she counted out the correct money.

Joe and Colby prepared the dinner while Kevin turned to look at Clara counting out money in the doorway.

"Can you hurry this up? I got other deliveries to make sweetcheeks" the pizza guy snapped.

"HEY" Kevin shouted making the three men and Clara jump along with the pizza guy.

He stood up from the sofa and made his way to Clara.

"Don't talk to her like that. If you want to get paid then shut up and wait" Kevin told the guy who looked like he was about to advance on the smaller man.

It was right then that Jon stood up and made his way to the door.

"There a problem here?" he asked towering over the delivery guy.

"N...no dude. Just waiting for...um" he hesitated.

"My sister" Jon said.

"Right, your sister to count out the money" the guy said giving a nervous smile.

When Clara finished counting the money she hand over fifty dollars.

The guy took it and went to walk away but Jon clearing his throat made him turn back to them.

"Her change?" he said as though it were obvious.

The guy sighed defeated and began to count out change for Clara.

"Thank you" Clara said cheerfully when the delivery guy handed her, her change closing the door loudly in his face.

"What an ass" she said as she put her change in her purse.

Jon looked down at Kevin and then walked into the living room waiting for his food.

The group sat and ate talking amongst themselves...except Jon who still remained quiet.

"Well, we better head back. It's getting late and I have that paper to finish" Clara said as her and Kevin stood up and said their goodbyes to Joe and Colby.

Jon walked his sister to the door and bent down as she wrapped him into a hug.

"Look after yourself ok" she said with her hand on his face.

He nodded at her.

"You'll have to come for a visit again soon" he told her.

"Both of you" he added making Clara squeal and jump onto him wrapping her arms around him once more.

"I love you" she whispered into his ear.

"Love you too" he replied as she got off of him and began to walk toward the car leaving Kevin standing with Jon.

"It was nice meeting you" Kevin said holding his hand out to shake Jon's.

Jon shook the kids hand.

As Kevin was about to end the hand shake, Jon's hand gripped his.

"She likes you. I can see it. And my friends like you too. Me, from what I've seen so far, like you too. Don't make me NOT like you Kevin. You understand?" he asked sternly.

"Yes Sir" Kevin said nodding his head vigorously.

"Good" Jon said as he released the smaller man's hand.

"It's rude to keep a lady waiting" Jon said when Kevin seemed glued to the spot.

He smirked when he saw the boy trip on his own feet as he made his way to the car that his sister waited patiently in.

When he watched them drive away, he closed the door to find his friends exchanging money.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Paying up. You cost me twenty bucks" Colby huffed.

"Me? What did I do?" Jon asked.

"You didn't make him run out crying after an hour" Joe said smiling.

Jon chuckled at his friends.

They always made bets against each other.

He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and after struggling momentarily to unlock it, saw that Clara had messaged him.

Thank you for not killing Kevin. Love you loads big brother xxx

He smiled as he put his phone back in his pocket and made his way into the kitchen to get more pizza.

Review people...I neeeeeed them :-p
