who: Nic & Jason what: "Lovers" quarrel when: Thursday evening where: Jason's apartment
To be honest, Nic felt like the worst girlfriend in relationship history. She knew that wasn't true, but ever since the incident at the photo shoot, she felt sort of distant from Jason. Like she was missing out on some major part of his life, that he and Kate were more serious back in Mexico than either of them were letting on, and there was nothing she could do to fix her lack of knowing. If she confronted him about it, things would be even more awkward than they already were -- at least on her part. And she really didn't want to know, knowing that it would just question their relationship even more than she already did, but she couldn't help but be curious. Kate was fricking perfect for Jason and that caused Nic to worry something fierce.
So in order to put her fears on the back burner (at least for the time being), the blonde decided she would surprise her boyfriend with some Chinese. A night in would be nice, right? Considering it had been a week since they last went out. Once she made it back to her apartment and changed into a pair of boot cut jeans and a hooded thermal, she called in her order to their favorite Chinese restaurant, the man on the other end of the phone telling her her order would be ready in fifteen minutes for pick-up. Digging her keys out of her purse and flipping the lights off, Nic left her apartment and got into her car, driving down to the restaurant.
Twenty-five minutes later she was locking her car up, purse slung over one shoulder with a brown paper bag in the other. She trotted up the stairs to Jason's place, pausing before she knocked to brush her hair out of her face with her free hand. She then rapped her knuckles against the door. Inside she could hear Jason talking to Nightcrawler, and while his puppy did make her smile, his name made her shudder. Shaking her head, she plastered a smile on her lips when she heard the door open. "Surprise," she grinned, holding the bag of food up, "I hope you're hungry."
