hello everyone! chapter 7 is here! did you notice I say that about all of my chapters? I do that in just about every fic I write XD chapter 7 has a small cute moment at the end of it. I didn't include the dinner scene here, because it would have made the chapter incredibly long, so I will have to make that into a separate chapter. I hope you all enjoy.

"Lee, you don't know how much I love you right now!" Clementine excitedly said, as she left toward the Arena exit with Lee.
"I thought you already love me sweatpea. Did your love for him make you stop loving me?" he asked in a teasing way, and she pinched his side again. Lee yelped, and playfully pinched her back. "ouch! goodness, I was kidding, I'm still hurting from the pinch you gave me on my other side when I invited him to dinner."
"I'm sorry, I was just... shocked, happy, and i really wanted to start screaming, so the only way I prevented myself from doing all of those things was-"
"pinching me so hard you killed the nerve in my side, y'know sweatpea if you keep pinching me everytime you get excited you're going to probably put me in the hospital." he said to her, and she started to laugh shaking her head taking a seat on the bench and started to remove her ice skates. "well sweatpea, I am going to head home and continue dinner, have Nick bring you home once he finishes, so you can guide him to the house."
"alright Lee, see you in a bit!" she said to him and sighed once he left. "I'm still shocked that Lee would invite Nick over for dinner, that must mean her really likes him!" she squealed excitedly, and turned her head to watch Nick practice, he was practicing hard, giving it his all. She could tell that he was focused, and determined to nail each drill he did. Nick stoped skating and pick up his phone taking a call. Clementine was curious, and wanted to know who he was talking to, but she decided to stay where she was and wait. she pulled her knees to her chest, and rest her chin on her knees while she watched Nick. Finally when he was done he exited the arena, and went to one of the rooms changing back into his casual outfit .
"ready to go?" he asked her, while he reached into his pocket pulling out a pair of keys with a key chain from the walking dead attached. He also assumed Clementine was going to go home with him since Lee wasn't there.
"yes I am, by the way, you are amazing on the ice, while you practiced I saw nothing but perfection." she complimented, and he just shrugged walking ahead of her, she quickly got up and walked beside him. "just so you know, Lee, and Carley already know about the situation with you and the Bitch."
"really? why would you tell them that?" Nick asked, he wasn't mad, he was just curious.
"because they are the type of parents you can trust. I mean I'm sure you saw that while you where talking to Lee, he's the same guy in public, and the same guy at home."
"I see." he said to her, while pressing the button on his key ring to disable the alarm on his truck. he walked over to the passenger side opening the door for Clementine.
"I know how to open doors Nick, my arms aren't broken." she said to him in a joking way, however Nick didn't see it as a joke.
"well fine, from here on out you can open you own damn door!" he said to her, and she frowned.
"Nick.. I.."
"I'm kidding, Clementine." Nick said, but she stared at him as if she was hurt, and crossed her arms. " h..hey don't do that, smile for me, please.. I really like your smile." he shyly said to her, which caused her to smile, and blushed at the same time turning her head so he wouldn't see, but he already saw her cheeks."
"cute" he mumbled and went to the driver side getting in starting up his car. "so you gonna tell me where you live? or are we going to sit here until we turn to skeletons?" he asked keeping his eyes on the road.
"oh um... crap.. I honestly don't know how to get home for here." she said after realizing she wasn't back at her old house, and she didn't know how to get home. Nick stared at her, she could feel his eyes on her and then out of nowhere he started to laugh, this was the first time she saw heard him laugh. it was very cute. he had the type of laugh that was contagious, because Clementine started to laugh with him, and he laughed at her laughing at him, this all continued until Nick's phone started ringing, Nick looked down at it, and sighed.
"its the bitch... please Clementine don't say anything." he said to her, and answered the phone. While Nick talked Clementine typed her address into the gps that was in Nick's truck and he started to drive.
"what?" Nick said into the phone instead of hello. Clementine glanced at him him wanting to know what she was saying, but the volume was too low. "Fuck no Jane, are you seriously going to start fucking complaining about that now?!" Nick said angrily into the phone. "I'm driving right now, and I can't fucking talk, I can't afford to get a fucking ticket or get killed because you want to bitch and complain... no you shut the fuck up and listen!" before he could say more Clementine snatched the phone from him and hung it up.
"you need to focus on the road Nick, and leave The Bitch in her bitchy lair" Clementine told him, and sat his phone down.
"Clementine, you can't hang up the phone on Jane, that's one thing she hates"
"I don't give a fuck! your life is more important that talking on the phone while driving! okay!? don't do it! please!.." she started to break down, her voice shook like she was going to cry
"alright, just... chill, and don't start crying, you know I ain't good at consoling people. lets just enjoy some music alright?" Nick said pressing the button to play his cd, Nick already knew what the song was going to say so he started to sing. "little girl, little girl don't like to me, tell me where did you sleep last night?"
"in the pines in the pines, where the sun never shines." Clemenetine sang and the two of them sang in unison, together. They sounded amazing, Clementine never knew Nick could sing, she remembered Sarah showing her a video of Luke singing during on of their classes, Nick wasn't as good as Luke, but he was close. Nick pulled up infornt of the house, shutting the engine off and looked Clementine in the eyes. she stared back into his.
"are you two coming in or are you going to continue eye fucking each other?" Lee called out from the door. Clementine blushed and quickly got out running up to the door
"Lee! why would you say something like that!?" Clementine said in an embarrassed way, reaching out to pinch Lee's side. Lee stepped back and grabbed her wrist.
"I'm sorry sweatpea, but when I heard the car come up I sat there and watched you two eye fuck each other for a good minute." Once Nick got close enough Lee stepped to the side gesturing for them to go in. Nick walked inside his eyes where a bit wide as he relized Jane might have been the 2nd most wealthiest girl in the school, now that Clementine moved into the most expensive house in the area. He followed Clementine to the living room. Clementine took a seat on the sofa, and Nick sat beside her leaving a space between them, he didn't want to get to close, and give Carley, and Lee the wrong idea.
"Nick, I've heard so much about you, its finally nice to meet you." Carley said, making their way toward them with two cans of soda she gave one to Clementine, and one to Nick.
"Thanks Carley, its nice to meet you too" Nick said to her taking the can of soda , and turned his head to look at Clementine smiling as big as a clown. Carley waited for Nick to turn his head and she used her hand to give Clementine a thumbs up and a smile, and left the room to go finish up dinner with Lee.
"I never got the chance to say this, but you have a kickass voice, that shit needs to be on the fuckin radio." Nick told her as he cracked open his can taking a big drink. Clementine stared down at the table practically screaming in her mind at his compliment. Carley walked into the living room
"kids.. I mean teens, do you think you can make dessert in the other kitchen? it would help us out so we can get dinner finished, and eat dessert and have Nick go home."
"sure mum, come on Nick lets go do some baking!" Clementine said in the style of a cheerleader, leading in a cheer, Nick stared at her and shook his head.
"I don't bake.." he said flatly.
"you should learn how to bake, and put some life in that voice of yours, you have to come bake or you're not eating." Clementine said, and started to cheer and do a little dance to get Nick to move. "Nick, Nick get on you feet! lets make a sweet dessert to eat!" She cheered. Nick continued to stare at her.
"you know, I really hate cheerleaders, but.. I can't fucking believe I'm going to say this.. you make cheerleading worth watching." Clementine couldn't help but smile. Nick stood and waited for her to lead the way to the kitchen. She took him to the second kitchen, that Carley, or Lee normally did baking in. This kitchen had everything for baking, and handed him an apron.
"the fuck is this?" Nick asked holding it upside down, and flipped it right side up, and then to the side. Clementine tried to keep a plain face and not laugh.
"Nick.. you seriously don't know what that's for?" she asked biting her lip to keep herself from laughing at him.
"no I don't know what this damn thing is, I don't cook, and i sure in the hell don't bake, i don't have time for shit like that."
"its a apron Nick, you wear it to keep from getting your clothes dirty, but by the looks of it, I don't think you need one. so I'll just get the ingredients, and we can start making my super chocolate nutty brownies!" she said, walking over to the cabinet pulling out two boxes of brownie mix and some other things. Nick walked over to ther picking up the brownie mix to take a look at it while Clementine grabbed cooking tools. she bent over to find the mixing bowl and Nick peeked over the brownie box to get a good look at her body, his cheeks turned red and he hid behind the box. Once Clementine started to stand back up, she turned around and preheated the oven already knowing the temp for brownies.
"open the box and pour the chocolate powders in the bowl." she said to him and he moved the box from his face ripping it open pouring it in. "See Nick, a baby could do that, now whats next.?"
"next you put in 2 eggs, there is no way in hell i'm cracking an egg in that bowl." Nick warned her, way before she already thought about asking. Clementine opened the carton of eggs and shook her head.
"don't be a party pooper Nick, open up let loose, feel free to make a mistake, i'm not the bitch, and i'm not going to get mad if you mess up, now pick the eggs up and do what i do. since the recipe calls for 2 eggs and we are using 2 mixes we need to crack 4 eggs" she said and cracked one egg on the side of the bowl dropping the yolk inside, and repeated the process with the second egg. Nick frowned, and watched her, not feeling so confident.
"if I crack this egg, our brownies are going to be full of eggshells" Nick said but, decided to give it a try, and gently tapped it along the side of the bowl until it cracked open and the yolk fell out, he cracked the second egg, and the yolk fell out along with one eggshell. "mother fucker.." Nick mumbled under his breath. Clementine picked up a spoon handing it to him.
"scoop the shell over the edge of the bow, and bam! problem solved! you think you can do that or are you going to give me more hell?" she asked playfully. Nick shook his head, and began to do as Clementine instructed getting the egg shell out. Once the shell was out Clementine added a few extra ingredients and started to mix.
"the best part about baking brownies is adding the ingredients, and baking it, but I really hate the mixing part, especially when its double the recipe. the mix gets heavy, it's a killer on my arms." Clementine complained, while she started to mix the batter. Nick stared at her.
"that's because you're doing it wrong, here let me show you." Nick walked close to her and put his hand over hers moving her arm in a certain way. Clementine's entire face lit up red, as Nick moved her arm in the correct way, and it seemed to help her mix.
"I thought you said you couldn't cook, if you don't know how to cook you don't know how to mix."
"I never said I didn't know how to mix, you just assumed I didn't" he said in a teasing way and let go of her hand taking a few steps back. Clementine continued to mix, quacking her face until it was fully mixed. Once they where mixed she added the mix to the pan and dropped in some nuts placing the pan in the oven.
"Clem, Nick, dinner is just about ready, you two finished just in time." Lee said to them and gave Clementine the look.
"I need to go out to my truck to grab my charger." Nick left the house and Carley, and Lee hurried over to Clementine.
"we saw what he did in the kitchennnnnnn" Carley said in a teasing way.
"when are you two going to kiss and make out? first you two eye fuck, then he holds your hand. what's next? kissing? sex?" Lee asked nudging clementine's shoulder. Clementine groaned and hide her face in her hands.
"stop it you guys! we are just friends! and did you forget he has the Bitch? Even if he did break up with her, he probably wouldn't want to rush into a relationship, or randomly kiss me. he's not that kind of guy." the door handle turned and Nick walked in. Clementine hurried over to him.
"come on lets eat." she said hastily and hurried into the kitchen.
