The next morning they woke up when Kevin came barging in the room.
"HEY NICK!! You were supposed to be in the lobby ten minutes ago, Brian overslept Howie went to wake him up. And Jennifer is missing" After he had said that stuff, both Nick and Jennifer looked up from behind the covers and tried to open their eyes.
"Oh sorry, guys...Nick!! You know you have to be careful and not sleep with every girl you see!"
"We didn't sleep together we just slept together in the same bed. Jennifer was scared from some nightmares."
"Kev, what time is it" Jennifer asked she was still too tired to really listen to what Kevin was saying.
"Well we're ten minutes late already so you two better hurry up!"
"SHIT!!!" Both Nick and Jennifer said at the same time. They threw on some clothes before they ran down to the lobby together with Kevin. There Brian, Howie and AJ were waiting for them.
"Where have you guys been?" An angry AJ asked.
"They were in bed together." Kevin said harsh.
"I'm so sorry!" Jennifer said.
"Well you should have thought of that before you had sex with him." Kevin said pointing at Nick.
"We didn't have sex!! How many times do I have to say that?!!" Nick was getting annoyed when Kevin didn't believe him. They were now running out to the curb to catch a cab.
When they got in the cab they all started to talk at the same time. Howie, who hadn't been listening too much, wondered who it was that were coming, how many they were and what their name and ages was. Kevin started to say something to Nick about responsibility. Nick started to explain to Kevin why Jennifer was in his room. Jennifer was the only one who didn't say anything. She was too worried. Brian of course started to ask questions about his surprise and AJ started to talk about the pants that were made in his name. All of a sudden Jennifer had had too much.
"HEY GUYS!!!!!" They all stopped in the middle of their sentences.
"Yeah?" AJ said with a raspy voice.
"Have you listened to yourself??"
"No...should we?" This time it was Nick who spoke up and it was clear that he had no idea what she was talking about.
"You all keep talking at the same time, and I can't see what the point in talking is then ...I mean no one is listening to you. Isn't it easier to think instead?" They all cracked up.
"Oh, you mean that.... well we always do that, it keeps us relaxed and no one yells at you for being stupid." Kevin tried to explain but Jennifer didn't understand what he meant.
"Why don't we do it like this you all take turns in saying what is on your mind...?"
"Do we have to?" Nick sounded like a little child who didn't want to clean his room.
"Yeah, Howie you go first." Jennifer said with a very strict voice. Then she turned her attention to Howie.
"Well I was just wondering who these people were...."
"Theses people are two of my friends and one of my friend's little sis."
"Ok, how old are they?"
"Well, Linda is one year younger than me so she's 17 and Susanne is a few months older than her. Then we have Evelyn, the one I told AJ about, she'll also be bringing Brian his surprise. She's the youngest one and that is 14."
"OK, um are they any fun people?"
"Yeah they are, and please don't judge them by the first look, ok?"
"We won't, been hurt too many times by doing that..." Brian said with his head hanging down.
"Oh, poor baby, maybe he should be the next to clear his heart." Jennifer had a bit of sarcasm in her voice at first but she made it a bit softer on the end.
"I was just wondering what my surprise was. Can't you please tell me? Pretty please?"
"No, Brian, you know I won't, can't you just forget about it, we'll be at the airport in like ten minutes and you'll get it there, I promise!!"
"Oh, well I guess I have to....but I wanna know!!"
"Who's next in line?"
"I AM!!" Nick practically shouted in the little cab-bus.
"No, I think it's AJ's turn. AJ what did you want to say." AJ started to speak.
"I was just saying..." He was cut off by Nick.
"Oh come on, he's just babbling on about his pants!!! I wanna say my piece now!!!" AJ blushed and then he said that it was Ok if Nick said what he had in mind to say.
"I was only telling Kevin that I didn't sleep with Jennifer" Both Jennifer and Nick became a bit red after that statement.
"I only slept beside her since she was feeling scared and I didn't want to sleep on the floor again."
"Again, so this has happened before?!!" Kevin couldn't believe his ears.
"Kevin will you just listen to me??!!" Nick was getting desperate.
"NO! You will never learn if you...." Kevin never managed to finish that sentence before Jennifer cut in.
"Hey, guys don't fight. Kevin it is so sweet of you to care so much about Nick but I can assure you that nothing has happened between us. He just made me feel more secure I was having bad nightmares and Brian knows it too, he was there when I came over."
"Are you sure you didn't do anything...?"
"Yeah, Kevin come on, rest your case. Nothing happened, Jennifer came just as I was a bout to leave and she asked if she could crash on his couch. But he said that she could take the bed. But she wouldn't allow him to sleep on the floor so they agreed to sleep in the same bed. Nothing happened."
"Well I guess I have to believe that." Kevin said with a sigh.
"I'm sorry Nick, I just don't want you to get into any trouble. And if you should get in to any trouble I want you to know that I will always listen and try to help you as much as I can. I may not like it but I will, Ok?"
"Yeah, I understand Kevin but I'm almost twenty and I can take care of myself."
"I know, I know, it's just that I've known you since you were twelve and I just don't want anything to happen to you."
"I know Kev I know."
They all sat in silence before the cab stopped and they got out after paying the driver.
