Jessica's pov

Today I was meeting up with Lele and Tayler at the mall. I decided to take up Lele's idea and make Nick jealous and want me. I know we're fake dating but maybe I want to be more than that. But I keep telling myself he doesn't like me back or he never will.

I put on a black tight crop top and black skinny jeans. I finished the look off with dark makeup and black combat boots. I straightened my black hair and my nails were black. I grabbed my phone and headed downstairs.

"Where are you going dressed like that?" Brandon stopped me. "Who?" I heard Nick holler from the kitchen and he walked in. "Oh" Nick said and stopped dead in his tracks. "Out?" I said.

"With who?" Nick cut in.

"Just Lele and Tayler" I said. "I don't want you hanging out with Tayler" Brandon said. "Why?" I asked, annoyed. "Jess- he's a fboy" Brandon said.

I looked over at Nick and he gave me a look.

Jealous ✔

"Well I'll be back later, don't wait up" I called out before walking out the door and hoping in the drivers seat of my car.

This seems to be working so far.

"Girl, I told you it work. Now we have to buy you some hot outfits" Lele said while we walked into the mall entrance.

"Tay!" Lele called up to Tayler, who was walking ahead looking down at his phone.

"Hmm" he looked up at us. "Who you texting?" Lele asked him. I always shipped him and Lele but they both are to close in friendship to be in a relationship.

"Oh, uh, no one" he said. "Uh, sure" I said in my sarcastic tone. He smiled and went back to typing. "Yeah he definitely has a girlfriend or is talking to one" Lele whispered and I agreed.

I came back into the Prettymuch house with a ton of bags.

"Dang girl" Edwin said as he walked out of the kitchen with his mouth stuffed with food. A laugh escaped my lips and I looked down at the bags in my hands.

"Dang girl" Zion said as he came from upstairs, followed by the rest of the boys.

"Dang, a girl really needs that much clothes?" Austin asked pointing to the bags in my hands. "Uh, yeah. She's Jessica for crying out loud" Brandon said. "A little help would be nice" I said and they all rushed over to me and helped me. All except Nick. He walked into the kitchen without a word.

The boys put the bags on my bed and left. I sat on my bed and my phone dinged.

Debra: I need you and Nick to go out somewhere tomorrow. Maybe the beach? Or the mall? Since it's Valentine's Day. Also bring the boys with y'all.

Jessica: sure ok. I'll tell nick.

Debra: already did that.

Jessica: k goodnight

Debra: goodnight

I put my phone on charging and walked to my bathroom. I took a shower and put on a large white shirt and pajama shorts. I brushed my hair and put it in a messy bun. I put all the clothes up I bought earlier and walked downstairs to get a glass of water before heading to bed.

On the way down the stairs I bumped into someone and almost fell down the stairs. Almost. Strong arms wrapped around me and caught me from falling down the stairs and possibly dying.

I looked up and came face to face with Nick himself.

"I..uh, thanks" I said as he helped me stand back to my feet.

"Yeah, don't mention it" he said and walked up the stairs.

Um, weird
