Part 13
(Liar Liar.)

About an hour later...
     "I guess that's them," Jonathan said when we hear a car pull up.
     "Okay," I answered back.

     "Hi, is this Jessica?" some guy asked, walking into the house.
     "Yeah, Jessica this is Steven, Rachael, Michael, and Nikki." Jonathan turned his head, but didn't make eye contact with Nikki.
     "Now that we have taken row..." Steven laughed.
     "So Jessica, how do you like LA?" Steven asked me.
     "Well, I have only been here a day. So far it's nice." I looked over at Nikki.
     "I am going to get something to drink," Nikki said, jumping up. "Anyone else want something?" Everyone responded yes. "Why don't you help me Jonathan."
     "Yeah okay," Jonathan said getting up.
     "Liar Liar, that's a good movie," Steven said, picking the tape up.
     "Yeah," I agreed, while looking in the kitchen at Jonathan and Nikki.
     "They have been together for about 6 months now," Steven said.
     "What?" I asked. "Oh you mean... I don't care." Wait I do care.
     "Yeah you do," Rachael laughed.
     "No I don't. We are just friends."
     They walked back into the room
     "What are we talking about?" Nikki asked.
     "Nothing just waiting for you two so we can start the movie," Michael said, pushing the tape in.
     "What's the movie?" Nikki asked, picking up the case.
     "Liar Liar," Jonathan said, even though she has the case in her hands. Why didn't she just read it?
     "I have seen some of this, it looked stupid," Nikki said setting the case back down.
     "It's pretty funny," Jonathan replied.

     After the movie we walk outside by the pool, but we realize it's getting late and Nikki wants to get home. I thought the night was great until I see Jonathan walk them to the door and kiss Nikki.
     "Bye," Nikki yelled at me.
     "Yeah, bye everybody." I said everybody because I didn't want to say bye to Nikki. After they all leave, I sit in the living room.
     "Are you okay," Jonathan asked walking in.
     "I'm fine. Why did you invite me here?" I turned the TV off.
     "It's no big deal, we're friends," Jonathan said sitting next to me.
     "It's a big deal to me."
     "Then that's why I did it, so you can have some fun." Jonathan took a deep breath. "I guess I should have said something about Nikki.�"
     "What? I don't care about that. Its just..."
     "It's just you do care about that."
     "I thought maybe you would have a girlfriend but I didn't really want to believe it. I..."
     "Let's make a deal: you don't hate her and I won't act or show any type of affection to her while you're here." He held out his hand for us to shake.
     "Deal." We shook on it and I had to ask, "so 6 months... Is it serious?"
     "Are you asking to make conversation or because you really want to know?" he smiled.
     "Well, you can't be serious about someone who thinks a Jim Carrey movie is stupid," I pointed out.
     "Oh really, is that true?"
     "Yeah it shows no sense of humor," I snapped back. "I am going to bed okay."
     "Night."
