A/N: Woo. I'm still going! BUT! after tomorrow (You'll be getting one tomorrow too, don't worry), you might have to wait a little for the next chapter, since I'm going to take part in NaNoWriMo in april, and I have some things about that I need to get done before I can move on with this fic. Also I have some aplications I NEED to get done before the 15th of this month, if I want to have a chance of getting accepted, to the education I'm hoping to get. So please be patient. I do promise though, that after April, (If I won't be able to do something before April) I will be back and you won't have to wait for dacades, before you get a new chapter.

Enjoy!

Day 3

Jeff and his sister Jenifer had decided to go to the lima bean together, to get a cup of coffee and a little chat. Jeff had really needed to talk to someone, who didn't know anything about Nick, but also someone who could help him, with how he should handle it all, and who would be better, than his only sister?

"So- How's everything going with you sis?" Jeff asked her, not really ready to bring up the subject he'd like to talk about.

"Don't call me that!" Jenifer hissed. But then she smiled and answered his question. "Well generally, everything's fine. I mean life's life, I suppose?" Jenifer smiled at him and looked up at the counter, waiting for her cup of coffee to be ready for them.

"Austin told me that he thought you were getting a boyfriend?" Jeff questioned and smiled back at her. He was actually hoping that she was, because she really deserved someone to make her happy. She was such a good girl and she deserved the best.

"Well I-" She started and her face flushed a bright red. "I thought so too." She said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jeff frowned at his sister, sitting across from him at the shop.

"Well we were getting really close and we still are. I just don't feel like were getting any further. It's probably for the best though. I don't want things to get complicated." She said with her face turned towards the table.

"Well, do you like him?" Jeff asked and tried to catch her gaze.

"I don't really know. I thought I did, at first, but now I'm not really sure if I ever did." Jenifer replied and smiled at the table. "How about you? Have you got anyone on your radar lately?" She asked and now finally looked up at him. Her eyes were faintly glistening with amusement, on Jeff's behalf.

"Well I-" He started but a new voice cut him off.

"I bought you some hot chocolate milk." The voice sounded from behind Jeff. Jeff turned his head and watched as Nick took the last few steps, over to the table, at which Jeff and Jenifer were seated. Nick didn't know that she was Jeff's sister, as it was, but how should he, really? He just placed one of the cups he were carrying, down on the table and flashed them both a smile.

"But I'm- uh- no, nevermi-" Jeff started with a light blush, but were cut off by a Nick, who as glaring at some other kids in the shop.

"What're you looking at, you little punks!?" Nick spat at the kids, who hurriedly looked the other way and moved along. "Yeah. Damn right, never seen a guy buy another guy something to drink before!? Better start getting used to it!" Nick's voice didn't get any calmer, as he spoke. Not before he turned back to Jeff. "What were you saying?" Nick asked, without even noticing the shocked look at Jenifer's face.

"Skinny cinnamon latte!" One of the baristas, behind the counter exclaimed.

"That's mine." Jenifer quickly excused herself and left to pick it up.

Jeff sat in silence for a moment, trying to ignore Nick's gaze. It wasn't easy though, because it felt like his gaze were actually burning holes in his very being. The feeling made him blush and sort of want to sink down through the floor.

"What was it you were saying?" Nick repeated, after a little while of silence. Jenifer was already on her way back and he wanted to ask before she returned. It was just a bit easier to ask when they were alone.

"Well it's just that- um-" Jeff started and he actually hoped Jenifer would be back soon, because.. Well.. Awkward. "I can't drink that. I'm lactose intolerant." He tried to explain, but the expression on Nick's face, told him that he didn't understand what he meant.

"Intolerant? Well isn't that a bit rude? I mean you keep telling me to be good and nice-" Nick started and Jeff had to try and shut him up.

"No- No- It means-" He started and Nick finally stopped talking. "I'm allergic. To milk." He explained and this time it seemed like Nick got it.

"Oh- Well shit." He just said. That was the moment, when Jenifer returned and he didn't say more.

Jenifer sat down on the chair she'd just left and put her cup on the table. She didn't say anything, because she knew the two had been talking and she didn't want to interrupt.

"Well there's probably not that much in it; so I can drink it." Jeff said. He could feel the way Nick was upset with this. Upset that he hadn't known and that he'd spend money on something, that he would now have to throw out. "Thank you." Jeff smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip.

"You're welcome." Nick mumbled. Jeff didn't really feel like he'd ever heard Nick mumble before. Like he was actually nervous. Nervous Nick? Jeff never thought he would ever experience that. Well he probably weren't, but he couldn't really know. "I've got to go." Nick said and turned to leave, before Jeff could say any more to him.

"You like that guy. Don't you?" Jenifer asked. She already knew the answer to the question and Jeff felt that it was a rhetorical question. "He's a little rude isn't he?" She asked and this time she expected an answer.

"Well- Yeah he is. I can't really say anything else than that." Jeff started. "I don't even know why I like him, Jen. He is a complete jackass! But I just can't help it." Jeff sighed and took another sip of the cup Nick had left for him.

"At least he's being kind of nice to you." Jenifer said. "Or at least she's trying." She smiled at Jeff.

"He is trying." Jeff smiled back at her. "He's definitely trying."

"That's a good start. The rest he can learn along the way." Jenifer said and took a sip of her latte. She made a grimace, since it was still a little too hot and she burned her tongue.

"How's school?" Jeff asked and Jenifer let him lead the conversation in a completely opposite direction.
