****You know it's not*"""

      My eyes widened at the embarrassed looking blonde before me. I definitely didn't expect to hear that. He continued to glance at me from under his lashes, while scratching the back of his neck awkwardly.
               " O-Oh." Was all I could say.
           " Yeah. Didn't expect that huh?" He says nervously.
              " No I did not." I confirmed.
        The place went silent with neither of us speaking up.
             " Wait!" I exclaimed rather loudly, startling Jasper.
                " You said like. You still like the girl?" I wondered.
                " Is that why you nearly burst my eardrums?" He wondered amusedly.
              " Sorry." I apologized.
            " Well, the answer is yes. I still love the girl." He sighed, a dreamy look present in his eyes as he stared at his palms.
           " What of all the girls you sleep with?" I found myself asking.
            " No offense." I quickly add when he looks at me weirdly.
              " That's Nick. I've only slept with one girl and that's Bianca. You know the head of the cheerleaders?" He says and I nod.
           " I don't really think I can ever like someone else." He sighed covering his face with his hands in order to hide a blush. Cute.
          " Well, who is this girl? You sound pretty in love and I'd honestly like to know her." I smiled.

               Jasper perks up and turns to me. He bites his lips as if wondering whether or not to tell me.
             " You don't know her." He finally says shaking his head dismissively. I frowned. Am I not the girl then?
              " Oh. Okay then. Did you meet her last year?" I asked him and he slumped back into the chair,his eyes fixed on the ceiling.
             " No. She never came." He said wistfully.
         At that moment I couldn't help but feel hurt for him. I was still confused as to whether or not he is my secret admirer or not but I knew that if I were in his shoes I'd hate me too. I placed a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it gently.
              " I'm so sorry, Jasper." I said and he smiles.
            " It's okay. I still get to see her at least." He says placing his hand on mine.
             " Mhmm. So why did you say I shouldn't tell anyone?" I ask.
             " It's kind of something I don't want anyone knowing yet. I hope to make it official first." He shrugs.
              " Oookay and how did Nicolas feel about that?" I questioned.
               " Fine. I mean, he didn't really mind although that's not his thing." He chuckled.
            " What do you mean? He doesn't know how to keep secrets?" I asked confused.
                 " No. The whole situation. You may not know but uh... Nicolas is very possessive. Like over possessive. Like over over-"
             " I get it." I deadpanned and he chuckles.
             " He prefers everyone know about us than what I plan. But we all have our reasons for what we do. Besides, he doesn't know everything." He explains.
          " Well I promise not to tell anyone." I smiled and he chuckles.
               " You're cute." He mumbles, quietly taking a sip of his soda. He probably thought I didn't hear it but I did.
             I slumped back into the couch and stared at my palms. I had only one reason to believe Nicolas was my secret admirer but I guess he isn't. Although what he says still isn't fully clear to me.
            Jasper on the other hand, is totally confusing me. Could it be that they also went to the park on the same day? And somehow his crush also didn't show up. He also said I don't know the girl. I ball my fists and let out a fraustrated groan.
             " What's wrong? Is it our time of the month?" He probes.
               " What-No! I was just thinking about something else." I respond giving him a look.
               " Oh. So how about you and Nick." He suddenly perks up.
             I look at him and frown when I see the smug smile plastered on his beautiful face. Damn!
               " What do mean?"
         " You're his babysitter?" He asks amusedly, nudging my a with his. I try to resist  chuckling at his childishness but end up doing it anyways.
              " Yeah, so?"
               " And you two haven't done anything?" He says eyeing me suspiciously.

What?!

                   " Excuse you!" I exclaim dumbfounded.
               " What? Have you?"

             " No we haven't and won't. Jay, and I thought you didn't see me as one of them." I say looking anywhere but him. I admit I'm a bit offended by his remark.
           " Of course I don't. Relax gumdrop. It was just a joke. I'm pretty sure Sophia Cullen is enough to make you rethink the idea." He says pulling me into his embrace.
                " What's with her anyway? She's been bullying me since I got here." I state frowning at the thought. 
         She never did like me and I don't think I did anything to her. Not even bump. Well....at that time, that is. Nowadays I just bump into anyone and everything.
             " Well gumdrop. Let's just say you stole her spotlight." He smiled.
                I look up at him a bit confused. Stole her spotlight? What's that supposed to mean?
             " And how did I steal her spotlight? Have you seen me?" I tell him referring to my, well, everything.
              " Trust me, we have." He mumbles a bit seriously.
            " What was that? We? Who's we? And how have you seen me?" I ask a bit startled.
             " You ask way too many questions gumdrop. And I need to get going. My little sister has a match I need to see." He says looking at his phone.
          " Match?"
               " Basketball match with some kids. It's fun. You need to come with me sometime." He says and I smile. How sweet. If only I had a sibling.

Or parents.

          " Yeah sometime." I smile.
             " Well, see ya. " He says kissing my cheek.
         My face turns crimson as always as he leaves me in my living room, shocked. I hope I get used to that.
