Jolin:
After the meeting I said bye to everyone and drove to the restaurant and of course I changed before I entered. This restaurant is french and it is one of my favorites.
I was wearing:

And sat at my usual table after the front desk person let me in. I waited for Nick to come and while I was waiting, someone had appeared.
"Now don't tell me a pretty girl like yourself is here all alone."he said sitting across from me.
"Now when did this pretty girl tell you that someone like you can sit down?"I said raising an eyebrow.
"And here you are, not doing anything."he smirked.
"Well we don't want to make a scene, now do we."I smirked right back because Nick was right behind him.
Nick smacked this guy on the shoulder and he looked up."What the hell is-"he stop short when he realize that we are having dinner together.
"Hey, meet my boyfriend."I said sweetly and emphasis on the boyfriend.
He got up,"Oh, well...see ya!"and he ran.
I laughed at the sight."So I'm your boyfriend eh?"said Nick teasingly.
I rolled my eyes."Well, what else was I supposed to say? He wouldn't have left if I said you were my cousin."
He laughed,"True, true."he said and smiled.
I smiled back, and our usual waiter came."Regular,"I said ordering for the both of us.
"Another date?"said Jack smiling at us. We didn't tell him that we were cousins, he just assumed we were together. Plus, it helps blending in.
We waited and talked about practically everything. Then I finally showed him a picture. A picture that looks almost exactly like me, but wasn't. There were some differences. "Who is she?"he asked looking confused.
"Jamie Roza, she's Russian and is Ryan's girlfriend. And, is known as JR,"I paused letting it sink in.
Nick looked up as he realized."You mean AGENT JR? Junior leader of the Russian CIA who disappeared a month ago?"
I nodded my head."Now that I have this information, I can't tell if Ryan is an agent, or not. Is he here to take Cody Miller down? Or is he here to help his dad? I've spoken to Jamie's partner, and she's told me he was indeed an agent, and once you're an agent,"I looked at him as I said this.
"You're always an agent."we said together.We stared at each other for a few moments and then Jack came back with our food.
Nick nodded his head at him and he left."So how was your day?"I asked him trying to ease the tension.
"Meh, I had worse."he said, and it was true.
"Well my day was completely annoying. Ryan is so annoying. He just never gives up! And the worst thing is Jamie is his girlfriend. It makes no sense.And is Jamie found out..."I trailed off trying not to think about what she can and probably will do to me. I could probably fend her off but that doesn't mean I will get out without being scarred.
Nick chuckled,"Don't worry I'll protect you."he said playfully, but I heard seriousness behind all of that.
I smiled athim and continued to eat my food. When we were done we paid Jack and took off to the near by park.
We walked into the forest and found our clearing. There was moss along the trunk and if you look really closely you could see the steps we put in. Nick climbed up first then I followed him. There were many branches and leaves but right at the top, long ago we cut the branches off and put a square board in its place with a blanket covering it so it would be comfortable. The other branches grew and went over our hide out.
This was our special place, not even Anna or Ariel knew about it. We laid on our backs and looked at the constellations. We made a game to see how many constellations someone would find. If we found a rare one or a made up one then that person would get major points.(A/N: I actually do this with my brother and sister and make a game out of it! U should try it!)
I had a great time just hanging out with him. I've never realized how easy this was to be with him. It felt like nothing could harm me.
Nick:
Tonight was amazing. Being with her was so easy, carefree, like there was nothing in the world that could hurt me. Even though this was the best night, I knew that nothing more will come out of it. We are still cousins, and we can't ever be together. It will always be like this.
3POV:
Nick and Jolin fell asleep in each other's arms for warmth, sleeping peacefully. Nick was dreaming about a life where Jolin and him were together and happy.
Jolin has a shocking, nice but frightening dream She had dreamt of her and Nick, together, happy. In her dream she liked-no-she loved it. She loved how they were close, she loved that with every touched she dreamt of was tingly.
Jolin jerked awake, as her dream self said the three deadliest words spoken to Nick...
I love you.
Jolin:
I jerked awake from my...I don't know if it should be called a dream or a nightmare. Somewhere in between. I looked around realizing that I-we, fell asleep. I looked down at Nick sleeping peacefully.
A small smile played on my lips as a soft breeze blew Nick's light brown hair to the side. I tucked my hair back behind my ear and checked my phone. I nudged Nick awake as soon as I realized what time it was."What?"he said sleepily.
"We have to go! School's about to start in 10 minutes!"I said already taking our emergency rope down. Nick scrabbled up and down he came.
I already broke into a run as soon as my foot touched the ground, knowing Nick was behind me. We made it to our cars in 5 minutes and I was already in auto drive with a manikin in my place while I was in the back changing my clothes.
When I was done, which only took me 30 seconds, I turned it off and jumped into the driver's seat. In a minute I was at school and so was Nick. We ran to homeroom and made it before the teacher was in. I sighed a breath of relief and smiled at Nick for a split second before taking our seats. Nick and all my family had their masks on and today I did too, but I kept my glasses on, plus the hood. Anna gave me her 'where
the hell were you' and Ariel gave me the 'what the hell were you doing' look.
I mouthed, I'll tell you later to them and they nodded a short jerk.
