I'm going to start adding media from now on. At least I'll try! First song "Bumper Cars" by Alex and Sierra. I adore this song. Lmk any recommendations for songs! As always thanks for the continue support! =)

Jonah's breathing quicken at the mention of Nate. He didn't know why but his blood was boiling pumping through his body. Even more than when Mindy's father got on the phone. What the hell was this feeling – jealousy? "No way am I jealous! My mind wonders off to the day at the lake how they were so happy in each other's arm. What the hell else did they do? How far did they go? What is their - .... FUCK! I'm Jealous!"

There was no way in hell he was going to let that man talk to her. He clears his throat catching her attention. He shook his head at her anger apparent in his eyes.

Mindy didn't know why he seem angry. Maybe because she was talking too long she thought. But she did wanted to talk to Nate. They didn't leave off on good terms. She wanted to clear that with him but one look at the ogre and she knew better.

"Uhhhh mom I don't have – "

"Hey Mindy" she was cut off by Nate's voice.

"Oh, hi Nate," she looks to Jonah his finger moves to end the call. She grabs hold of his hand before he can do so.

His eyebrow raise at her actions. She shakes her head at him. Mouthing one minute with a pleading look. He doesn't say anything so she took it as an okay but still held onto his hand just in case.

"Mindy, are you still mad at me?" Nate said sounding apologetic. She can already imagine his puppy face he makes every time he does something wrong.

"No Nate. I was never mad at you."

"Really? I thought you were because you didn't contact me before you left." He said.

"I just wanted to give you space and have you contact me when you were ready." She replied.

"That's a relief. I was scare it would have ended our friendship. I'm sorry for hurting you." He said sounding happier now.

"No way! You are my best friend, my big brother! Plus you bought me all those awesome goodbye gifts that day so everything is forgiven." She said smiling.

Jonah's eyes too light up. "Brother? Gifts? So she only see him as a brother although it's obvious he didn't feel the same about her. And those bags that day were going away gifts. I was relief for some reason."

"Brother..." Nate's voice was now distant.

Jonah clears his throat again signaling her to end the call.

"Nate I have to go." She cuts him off. "I'm at work my break is over."

"Ah okay" he said disappointed. "Mindy, I miss you."

"I miss you too Nate. You have no idea." She said back.

"And Mindy... Happy Birthday." Nate said.

"Shoot I totally forgot. Why did my parents not mention it? They were probably too worry about me calling late to remember." Her attention directs to Jonah. His left eye brow raise. Darn, she didn't want him to know.

Jonah release his hand from her grasp and end the call. He takes her phone and gets up to lock it back up. "So it's her birthday. No wonder she is dressed up today. I'll have to give her a birthday present." He thought a grin on his face as he turns to her.

"So it's your birthday? Come, I have a present for you." With that he walks out the door.

They ended up in the kitchen again. Breakfast was still untouched since they left to make the phone call. Jonah grabs the newspaper he had been reading earlier and tosses it at her sitting himself down. Mindy catches it confuse. "What is this for?" she said looking at the paper. "Happy Birthday," he said. Then her eyes widen and her mouth drop open when she read the headline.
