[Chapter 16]

“You will go in, I tell you! You will! And you know why? Because I’m the human and you’re the stupid pretty shoe I want to pack…” I emphasized giving the shoe an extra shove, “therefore you will be shoved in there with the rest of my crap, and you will like it! AH ha! Gotcha!” Okay so I realize it’s a shoe, but it was being stubborn!

“Now you, don’t get any ideas!” I glared at the coffee pot currently sputtering to life. I have about two weeks before the convention, but I’m heading out to California in about an hour…okay so I’m heading to the airport in about an hour.

“I’m too sexy for my…” blared from the cell phone in my pocket.

“Joe, how the heck did you change my ring tone from all the way over there?” I answered not even bothering to look at the caller id.

“I set it as my exclusive ring tone since July, I just haven’t called from my phone since then.” He laughed. Oh well, that makes since I guess.

“Ha ha ha,” I deadpanned “so what’re you doing up at this fine hour in the morning? It’s like…not even light out!” and that’s just here in the city!

“I know, but I wanted to catch you before you boarded the plane then became inaccessible, can you talk now?” he asked conspiratorially.

“Yeah I just made it through airport security and my flight’s delayed so you’re in luck, now dish.” This has got to be good.

“Well, you and Kevin are close right?” he asked nervously, sounds like a scheme.

“Mm-hmm…” I answered suspiciously; because lets face it Joe’s calling me at four thirty am, my time!

“Well, it’s about the whole Brittany thing…” he trailed off.

“What’s going on? Is he keeping something from me? Boy tell me that…araña pantionera isn’t still lurking around!” I rambled off.

“That what?” oops slipped into Spanish, I tend to do that when I get over excited about something, which is ridiculous considering I hardly bother to speak it otherwise.

“It’s kind of like a black widow spider I guess, it sort of means skank.” I tried to explain, because really there’s no cool English ay of saying it.

“Oh, okay, well not really, but I think she’s still like texting him or something, and he’s not answering, that I know of, but every time she does he gets all bummed. I mean I know that she worked a number on him, but still you’d think he’d be over her…and that’s were you come in!” he finished happily, man that boy can run from hot to cold in about a second flat!

“Joe…if he’s still not over her, I’m not sure there’s anything anyone can really do, me least of all. I mean yeah I have a few choice words for what she is, but he really cared about her, and worst of all he thought she felt the same.” And I’m not supposed to meddle, because he’s vulnerable, hot (yeah I’ll admit that much), an amazing friend, and worst of all, not interested…not that I am, I mean sure he’s Kev so who wouldn’t be, but he’s not my…I’m not his…it wouldn’t…no, it couldn’t work. Yeah, any way has he started talking yet?

“Um, Jen you there?” oops, what?

“Sorry, I must have spaced, what was that?” I asked shaking my head.

“I said, I know, all that, but I think you’re wrong, about one thing. If anyone can get him out of this funk, it’s you, heck you got him to break up with her…well okay so she did that by cheating, but he was going to anyway because of you!” gee, that paints a flattering picture of me.

“Hey, I resent that babe, he came to that conclusion on his own. He asked me for advice and I told him I couldn’t help, so he…slowly, got there himself, then I just simply reaffirmed what he had already decided. Don’t make me out to be a home wrecker now.” I chuckled.

“Okay, fine, but see, he went to you with it, and he admitted that there was a problem. With Nick and I, he always seemed to try and…not hide it, but just glance over it. He always made it seem like it was a little spat that would blow over, even when we all knew it was going on almost every day! With you, it’s one phone call after like three weeks of not seeing you and BAM the whole thing just spills out!” I could just picture the dramatic hand gestures that accompanied that rant.

“Well okay, but that could be the fact that he wasn’t talking about it and just needed to vent.” I tried, I really don’t know if I want to get into the relationship talk with him again, it’s not safe territory.

”Okay, perfect, because he says even less about this than he did about that, so he’s due to pop any minuet!” eww, that could have sounded so wrong.

“Like a pimple?” I asked opting for the more guy friendly analogy, over the gross one that would force me to relive images of that nasty birthing video that we always seem to have to watch in class.

“Exactly! Plus I think you just seem to have a knack for weaseling out information from him.” he’s doing Kevin’s smirk, I can hear it!

“Don’t smirk at me boy!” I laughed.

“Gee, you are mom! So now that that’s settled when do you get in?” he asked casually.

“Um, in a few hours hopefully, but I won’t be able to see you guys for a few days.” I have some work stuff to deal with, plus hang out with my dad before he heads out of town for something or other.

“Okay…but once you get here, Kevin better be chipper you hear me?!? The team needs you!” he cried over dramatically.

“Which team?” I smirked.

“I don’t know…pick a team, it needs you!” I knew it! Kevin got to him, he’s been Gilmored.”

“Nicely done, but now I have to go find the pretty, pretty coffee, so I can board my flight and not have like major caffeine withdrawal, so take care, get some rest, and I’ll call one of you when I get my itinerary sorted out?” I asked.

“Okay, be safe, and Jen?” wow too much serious Joe is starting to get weird.

“Yeah, hon?” I asked, much like I usually do with Kevin…okay seriously get that boy out of your head!

“Don’t tell Kevin I called you?” he asked shyly.

“It’ll be our secret.” I smiled.

“Thanks.” These boys don’t know how lucky they are to have each other.

“Any time, now sleep!” I laughed writing down my coffee order and handing it to the girl behind the counter who simply smiled and proceeded to fill it out.

“Yes mom!” he mocked.

“Boy, you joke about it, but I can play the mom role if you want.” I laughed.

“Man, you are like her…” he mumbled before adding, “Okay, good night!” in a more chipper tone.

“Night, see you in a few days.” I chuckled hanging up.

“Little brother?” the girl asked taking my credit card and handing me my coffee.

“Yeah…” I smiled, sipping my coffee…he might as well be.

[tripletall3]

<sigh> Your updates are like the extra caramel to my caramel macchiato...just a big ol' cup of wonderful!!! I can't wait for the gang to spend time together! Do I smell a California movie night???

[bloodtypeespresso]

LOL! AWESOME i;m the caramel! Am i that predictable? i hadn't really thought about a movie night, not like formally, but yeah it would have had to be thrown in, because there are like a million little moments i want to throw in and a movie night would be the best place to put them1 but i'll try and have them do other cool stuff too!

[kellsterr]

DUDEE! you should totally do a California movie night! ... that would be awesomee!

[Chapter 17]

“So, I’m meeting you guys where, and why?” I asked Joe over the phone. I’ve been in L.A. for about a week and a half now, but the only time I got to see the boys so far was at Six Flags with my dad…he’s an older Joe…yeah we were all scared. Although it was fun, there was no time for what Joe and I talked about, which I consider a good thing, but now i realize if I’d tried to fix Kevin then, I wouldn’t have to worry about it now.

“By the giant glasses, because they’re easy to spot!” he informed me with an exasperated sigh.

“The why, was more of a ‘Why are we in this shopping center to begin with?’” Don’t get me wrong I can shop, but the guys suggested this…really?

“Oh, because they have the coolest stores duh!” he said hanging up as they came into view.

“Jenny!” Kevin hollered twirling me in a tight hug, okay not the Jonas I was expecting that from, I guess he caught my surprised look. “What, I’m the only brother who hasn’t done that…I felt left out.” he shrugged, causing me to laugh and ruffle his curls, just because I can...even though i had to stretch.

“So, where to?” I asked once I greeted the two younger Jonas brothers.

“How about there?” Joe asked pointing to a funky suit shop… and so it began. About three hours, and every store within walking distance later, Joe and Kevin each had about ten shopping bags while Nick had five, and I had…a slice of pizza.

“Wait a minute, where are all your bags?” Joe accused as we piled the stuff into the back of Kevin’s car.

“Um, what bags? My purse is right here.” I said raising an eyebrow, and waving my purse in his face.

“You didn’t buy anything?!?!” Kevin asked shocked.

“I got a pizza…” I trailed off holding up the half eaten crust.

“Even Nick got more than you!” Joe accused…again, man he’s snippy today.

“That’s it, we're going back in!” Kevin announced grabbing my hand and dragging me back towards the shopping center leaving the jeep to lock itself as Joe and Nick ran behind us.

“Y’all it’s okay, I really don’t need anything…” I tried to argue, I honestly don't, and I was having a little more fun than I’ll ever admit watching the guys (cough Kevin cough) try on different outfits.

“But it makes us look bad if we out shop a girl,” Joe explained leading the way to an edgy boutique, “so you sit there, he pointed at a shoe shaped chair, and we’ll find stuff for you to try on.” He announced…oh boy.

“Here!” Joe said shoving a pile of clothes at me then pushing me into an open dressing room.

“OWW! I can do without the help in the falling department!” I shouted sarcastically. Well at least the clothes broke my fall.

“SORRY!” he called back. I was about to accept his apology, then I looked at the clothes he picked out…what woman was he dressing?

“Joe! Did you even look at the sizes on these?” I asked noting that one shirt was a size sixteen while the leather pants were a size two…what the heck am I supposed to do with those? Wear them as a scarf? There is no way they are going up my knees let alone my thighs!

“What’s wrong with them? I got you a variety! Just stuff that looks Like it would fit...I have a great eye for this sort of thing!” he reassured through the curtain and I heard his brothers snicker.

“Oh really?” I asked walking out in the size sixteen shirt which fit me like a dress…an ugly dress. “Can we try to keep the variety in the middle ranges next time, somewhere between four and ten, shoes eight through nine?” I asked handing him all the clothes that didn’t fit this description, or the stuff I just really wouldn’t wear. I know it’s a wide range anyway, but you just never know in stores like this, everything depends on cut, and style and stuff.

I’ll admit I was skeptical at first, but after a while I just let them run a muck and tried everything…well almost everything on without argument, Joe even got my size down.

“How about this?” Nick asked handing me a deep red tie, to go with a tuxedo cut halter I was wearing along with a plaid vest, pinstripe skirt and high-heeled Converse boots.

“That I actually like…” I smiled taking the tie and adding it to the otherwise ridiculous out fit.

“Okay, the sad part is that works.” Kevin laughed coming up behind me as I adjusted the tie in the mirror and placing a newsboy hat on my head.

“Well what can I say when you’ve got it you’ve got it!” I laughed striking a pose, as he pulled out his iPone to take a picture.

“Okay enough admiring here! New outfit!” Joe demanded shoving some clothing in my hands; he’s defiantly the pushiest Jonas.

“Joe, what exactly is your obsession with making me your personal Barbie doll?” I asked through the curtain as I started to remove all the layers of clothing I’d been wearing.

“We never get to shop for girls! You guys have so much fun stuff! It’s like, guy stuff…plus more, with more sparkles!” He explained.

“And the shoes! You guys have amazing shoes! They should be in a museum!” Kevin piped up. So they were worried about out shopping a girl but this, is totally masculine, yeah sure okay.

“Y’all are crazy…” I trailed off looking at the shirt Joe handed me, “Joe, am I supposed to wear this with the skirt I had on earlier, because it’s a little long, or the pants we decided to buy?” I asked confused, he’s usually very specific about these things.

“Neither, it’s a dress.” I can hear the eye roll…wait dress???

“Well in that case, where’s its mother I don’t think it was quite ready to leave the nest?” I yelled back.

“Very funny missy, just put it on, I want to see what it looks like!” he whined.

“Okay, babe as much as I’d love to help you, it is on, but this thing is practically indecent!” Okay so it covers all the essentials, but still, I can’t walk too fast without it going up, let alone sit! “And I don’t even have shoes!” I added as an after thought.

“I do!” Kevin piped up.

“Well that’s great, but I’m not coming out.” I pouted, not that it looked bad…not really, but I couldn’t help but think how amazing long-legged-slightly-less-curvy girls like Brittany look in this kind of get up.

“Well then I’m coming in, because you have to see these shoes!” before I even had a chance to process what he said he came barging in one hand over his eyes and the other holding out the most beautiful shoes I’d ever seen. Okay maybe not ever but still, this my friends, is love!

“Oh, I want those!” I said taking the shoes and sitting down to slip them on, forgetting about the tiny dress, I was currently wearing.

“Can I open my eyes?” He asked just as I was standing up, to look at the shoes in the mirror.

“Yeah sure.” I responded distractedly admiring the shoes, they really do look awesome, why the classic black and white wingtip shoe wasn’t converted into a pump years ago the world may never know…actually now that I think about it I think they tried it in the 80’s.

“I like the dress…” Kevin mumbled quietly standing awkwardly in the corner of the dressing room.

“Really?” I asked self-consciously tugging at the hem.

“Yeah, I think you should take it, maybe even wear it to the convention next week?” he suggested.

“It’s not too short for something like that?” I asked uncertainly, I don’t want to look all trashy.

“Not at all, because of your height it just makes your legs look longer, tall girls would kill not to look trashy in a dress like that.” He winked at my reflection now standing right behind me, causing a small shiver up my spine.

“Okay, now when did you get so smart?” I asked incredulously.

“You know I really think it was all that Latin.” He answered stroking his chin in a contemplative pose.

“Are you guys ever going to come out?” Joe whined from beyond the curtain, about a second before Nick simply waltzed in.

“Nice look,” he said offhandedly before turning to Kevin “Joe’s about ready to burst a blood vessel.” He added.

“I didn’t know I could do that!” Joe protested marching in.

“Okay, that’s it, all of you out, or everything stays here.” I threatened.

After a chorus of ‘fine’s and Joe’s proud proclamation that he chose the dress they all cleared out and we were able to finally leave the shopping center with about eight bags, which they wouldn’t let me pay for.

“You still need at least three more.” Joe pouted as we piled my purchases in the car along with the guy’s stuff from earlier.

“Joe, these bags are bigger than the ones you guys got, I think I officially out shopped you.” I reasoned, even though, lets face it they bought all this stuff too.

“Fine, but movie night stuff counts in your pile then.” He declared jumping in the back seat with Nick leaving me to ride shotgun.

“Alright, it’s a deal.” I laughed, “But now you have to pick a movie night spot.” I smirked giving him the task we’d all been avoiding.
