Jonesy led Nikki by the wrist off of the dance floor. "Wait!" Nikki pulled back, and then shot a glance at Micah before taking her heels off. "Damn things…" She let Jonesy continue to lead her until they reached the foyer.

"You need to be careful." Jonesy said once they were out of earshot of the rest of the party.

"Excuse me?" Nikki blinked, being taken back. Top ten things she didn't expect him to say that was on the list.

"That guy… I had my eye on him after I cut in, and he was watching us like a crazy person. The kids not alright." Jonesy's face was still fixed toward the reception.

Nikki pursed her lips and nodded her head. "Okay. Well Jonesy, I have my big girl panties on and I appreciate your concern but I can take care of myself. That 'creep' happens to be my ex boyfriend, so if that's all I think I'll join my date." Nikki slipped her shoes back on and turned around, but Jonesy grabbed a hold of her wrist again. "Okay, now I'm starting to think you're the creep."

"Wait… Hold on."

"Jonesy what are you doing? I can't read minds."

"I'm sorry…" Jonesy looked down at Nikki and she saw something in his eyes she didn't remember ever seeing.

"For what? You didn't do anything wrong" Nikki huffed and crossed her arms, moving her shoulder in between her and Jonesy.

"Yeah I did everything wrong…"

"Jonesy are you okay? Why did you even bring me over here?" Nikki softened and furrowed her brows, looking genuinely concerned.

"Sorry I'm just going through it with my break up with Marissa and all… I don't really know what I drug you over here for. I think I just wanted to talk to you. Is that weird?" Jonesy laughed a little, and then looked into Nikki's face.

"A little" Nikki laughed, "now come on before Justin 'goes crazy'" Nikki said in air quotes, leading Jonesy by the wrist towards Micah.

"Hm your make up's smudged, what were you two doing?" Micah laughed and elbowed Jonesy.

"You're so ridiculous!" Nikki quipped, as Micah put his arm around her back and led her towards the table. "Wait…" Nikki looked back at Jonesy, but saw his back was turned as he was chatting with Wyatt, Jude and Caitlin.

"Hm?" Micah asked.

"Um, nothing." Nikki smiled, shaking her head "nothing…"

"So dish girl! What did he want to talk to you about!"

"You know… I don't even think he really knew." Nikki didn't look back again, but if she did she would have seen Jonesy's eyes following her.
