.:. I said this would be the last chapter but I once again changed my mind… Oh yeah, sorry for the almost-one-year wait for this update. Also I was reading over the first four chapters and I found like 10 typos and stuff so sorry about that but hopefully the story is still fairly understandable. .:.

Jonesy and Nikki went off the new burger place that opened, and when they got there, they ordered their food and sat down at one of the only free tables. Jonesy slid his chair next to Nikki's and started to curl her hair around his fingers. He was trying to be gentle and playful but since anger still burned in his eyes, he didn't realize that he was hurting Nikki.

Nikki knew that Jonesy was upset and didn't really like being compassionate but she knew that if she wanted any relationship to work out she would have the show some compassion. "Jonesy, what's wrong? You can talk to me, you know that." Her voice was much softer than usual.

Jonesy sighed, "It's just that… Jen… and Wyatt… You know what? Never mind."

Nikki rolled her eyes. She wasn't satisfied. She just tried the entire loving-caring girlfriend thing and she got nothing out of it. If she gave up here she would have been a goody-good girlfriend for nothing; she had to continue. She tried using her soft caring voice again but this time it was a little gruffer, "What about Wyatt?"

Jonesy wished that Nikki would just butt out but he knew that if he wanted to keep her as his own, he had to listen to her and talk to her. "It's just that, Wyatt chose you. What does that mean? Does he like you? And if he does, things could get little complicated don't you think?"

Nikki agreed, even though she did not admit it to Jonesy. Even if they were very slight, she knew that she had some feelings for Wyatt too. The main reason that she had never acted upon them is that she thought that he didn't feel the same way. But if he did, well then that might be a different story. Nikki broke out of trance of thought about Wyatt and replied to Jonesy, "No, 'cause it doesn't matter what he feels for me because I don't feel at all the same way. Nothing could ever interfere with how I feel about you." She smiled softly and hoped that Jonesy wouldn't catch her lie.

Jonesy smiled and wrapped his arm around Nikki's shoulder. He didn't realize that Nikki had lied but he still had anger and worry burn in his eyes. "I am still slightly worried, because if he does like you then that would bring discomfort and jealousy to our friendship with him." Nikki nodded, but before she could speak, Jonesy continued ranting but this time about Jen. "So I am not really mad at Wyatt but I am incredibly pissed at Jen."

"Why?" Nikki asked.

"Don't you remember those things she said about you back at the lemon?"

"Oh yeah," Nikki lied. Nikki actually wasn't too sure what Jen or anyone else said back there because when Wyatt said that he picked Nikki, her mind drifted off into the world of daydreams of Wyatt.

Jonesy inquired Nikki further, "Those things she said don't bother you?" Nikki shook head "You really don't care that your so-called best friend said that she is better than you and that you are a slob and a bitch?"

Once again Nikki just shook her head, however she was slightly pissed. How Jen actually say those things about her? Nikki wanted to give her a piece of her mind but if she did everyone would wonder why she didn't do it before when Jen first said those things, and Nikki really didn't want anyone else to figure out that she was daydreaming… about Wyatt. Nikki looked up from her thoughts and saw Jonesy looking at her, kinda like he was expecting her to say something. "Well I guess what she said bothers me a bit but not as much as you think it would." Nikki felt guilty for lying again to her new boyfriend but she couldn't help it. She couldn't let Jonesy know her real feelings. "I just kinda brushed off what she said because, from the way it sounds, she really likes Wyatt and is therefore jealous."

Jonesy smiled, "Yeah I guess. If you think about Wyatt caused a big mess in our little group."

"How so?" Nikki asked.

"Well assuming he likes you, he is jealous of me because I am going out with you, Jen is jealous of you cause Wyatt likes you, Caitlin is jealous of Jen and you because Wyatt likes both of you way more than he likes her, I am still kinda mad at Jen, Jen is mad at Wyatt and Caitlin is also mad at Wyatt. It appears that Jude is the only one of us who is not caught up in this entire frenzy."

"Wow," exclaimed Nikki, "I guess you are right, but I think it is still partially Caitlin's fault for making us play this Game of Love." Nikki smirked, "It seems like it became more a Game of Hate."

Jonesy disagreed, "Not really, 'cause even though there is a lot of jealousy and anger in the group it also made us a couple again and it seems that Caitlin and Jude are content. So the game did bring out some love."

Nikki wanted to add that the game made her truly realize her feelings for Wyatt but she didn't because she knew that it would not be a very smart thing to her boyfriend. Instead she just smiled and said, "Well guess we can call it the Game of Love and Hate."

.:. Ok pretty bad ending to this chapter but there will be a few more chapters after this. The next one will probably be Caitlin and Jude's reaction to what happened then the one after that will either be Jen's reaction or Wyatt's reaction. And then who knows maybe I will throw in a real Nikki/Wyatt section for you N/W fans! Anyways please review and remember any suggestions are taken into consideration for later chapters. Also I still need to figure out how I will end the story. .:.
