Nikki was still fast asleep, curled up to Jasper's side until he moved, and told her to wake up. She groaned quietly as she rolled over toward the edge of the bed and sat up. A quiet yawn escaped her lips as she stretched before getting up and getting dressed. She glanced over at Jasper when he mentioned Sera, guilt washing over her, she felt terrible lying to her friend, but she didn't want things to get awkward or for Sera to get angry with her. "Yeah, I know." She said with a small nod of her head. It wasn't ideal, keeping their relationship a secret, honestly Nikki wasn't even sure it was a relationship, they never really talked about, but they sure ended up in bed together a lot.

Nikki slipped into the bathroom to do her hair, and was nearly done when the overwhelming nauseous feeling hit her, in a matter of seconds she was on the floor, hugging the toilet as she got sick. She'd been getting sick quite a bit the past few weeks, yesterday she'd gone to the doctor to see what was going on, figuring she had the stomach flue or something, but that most definitely was not the case. Which was why she'd found herself in Jasper's room, she had come over to tell him the news, but when she got here, she was too afraid to tell him, not sure what he would say, how he would act.

After a few moments, when she was sure it was safe, she got to her feet, flushed the toilet and walked back over to the sink. Thank fully she already had all her stuff for the camping trip over here at Jasper's and her purse was all packed up to with her hair brush, tooth brush, and other hygiene products, so she quickly brushed her teeth before walking out of the bathroom, hoping Jasper hadn't heard her getting sick. "Ready?" She asked with a smile as she walked over to him, kissing him on the cheek before grabbing the rest of her bags for the trip.

Julian woke with a start when the alarm on his phone sounded. He cursed quietly as he quickly silenced the deafening noise, glancing over his shoulder at the girl sleeping next to him, amazingly she was still passed out asleep. 'That must have been one crazy party,' He thought with a shake of his head as he carefully climbed out of the girl's bed, trying not to wake her, not wanting to deal the awkwardness of not even knowing her name. He quickly gathered up his clothes and got dressed as he made his way to the door, pulling his shirt on over his head as he walked out the door.

Unfortunately, this was a normal occurrence for Julian. He was a pretty big flirt, and when he went out drinking, it wasn't unusual for him to wind up in a random girl's bed. He ran a hand through his hair as he walked to his own room, knowing that he was beyond late, and that Sera would probably be angry with him, and surprisingly, it actually mattered to him, what she thought. All these other girls he'd end up in bed with, he didn't really care about them, they were just flings, but Sera, he felt there was something special about here. Most of the time, he couldn't even string together a decent sentence around her, let alone flirt with her, his attraction to her was that strong, it made him nervous.

Finally he reached his own room and grabbed the bags that he'd finished packing a couple days ago, before walking right back out, and making his way to the parking lot. When he got there, he saw that it was only Sera who was already waiting. "Hey, sorry I'm late." He said, nearly out of breath. He was still wearing the clothes he'd worn the day before, very disheveled, and he had a decent sized hickey on his neck that he hadn't noticed as well as lipstick on the collar of his shirt.

Nikki nodded her head when Jasper asked if she was alright. "Yeah, I'm fine." She said, giving a reassuring smile before walking out of the room with him. When they reached the parking lot, she saw that they were the last to arrive, and arriving together could raise suspicions, but thankfully Jasper came up with a believable excuse. "Yeah, my hero." Nikki said jokingly, teasing him as she would if her were just her best friend's brother, trying to act normal. She walked to the back of the car and put her things in the trunk before getting into the car. She got into the backseat since Julian was up front in the passenger seat.

"Wow, Julian, you could have at least combed that rag of a head of yours." She said with a giggle, leaning forward and ruffling up his already messed up hair. Nikki had met Julian a couple years ago, and they'd been friends for a while, but that was it. She wasn't interested in him in any way, plus she knew that Sera was and she would never cross that line with her friend, it was bad enough she'd been sleeping with her brother, to sleep with the guy she had a thing for, that would be the end of their friendship, and no guy was worth that.

Julian blushed at Sera's mention of his night. "I, uh," He started to say but couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse, she clearly knew what he'd been up to and there was no use trying to hide it. "Thanks." He said when she offered him the water. He took it before quickly tossing his things in the trunk and getting into the passenger seat to wait for the others. "So, how was your night?" He asked, trying to make conversation as they waited for the others.

A few moments later Nikki and Jasper walked up together and he couldn't help but to raise a curious eyebrow. It was curious to him, Nikki was definitely a good looking girl and she'd had boyfriends in the past, never staying single for too long, but now, it'd been nearly a year since she had a boyfriend, and he couldn't help but to wonder if maybe Jasper was the reason for that. Though, he never would say it aloud, it was their business. He took another drink of water as he waited for the two to put their things away and get in the car.

Nikki leaned her head back against the head rest as they started down the road, she had so much on her mind. She hated keeping secrets, and right now she was keeping two very big ones. She glanced over at Jasper once, their eyes meeting for a moment as he was looking at her as well. She gave a quick smile before glancing away, not wanting to draw suspicion.

"Man, I can't wait to go for a swim." Nikki said with a smile. "Wait, there is going to be a lake near the camp site right?" She asked, wanting to be sure since she had bought a brand new bikini for just that reason. She knew it wasn't really fair, but she loved to tease Jasper, especially when she knew that he couldn't do anything about it, it made their intimate nights all the more exciting.

Julian chuckled quietly at Nikki's teasing of his messy hair. When Sera told him he was in charge of the music, he reached over and fiddled with the radio for a few moments before settling on a popular local station that played new pop and hip hop. "How's this?" He asked glancing at the other three, wanting to make sure they were all ok with it. As they continued on down the road, Julian glanced over at Sera, a small smile on his lips as he watched her. She was so beautiful to him, every thing about her. He just wished he could get up the nerve to come out and tell her how he feels. He is afraid though, that if he tells her, it could ruin their friendship and he'd rather have her as a friend than as nothing at all.

A little while later, they reached the camping grounds and Nikki climbed out of the car, stretching. "So, what now?" She asked, glancing at Sera who she assumed had the whole trip planned out. She walked around to the back of the car and got her bags out of the trunk, glancing around the camping grounds. There were quite a few other people here and she really hoped that having so many people around wouldn't ruin their weekend. She totally planned on sneaking at least a little one on one time with Jasper, at least she hoped she could pull it off without raising Sera's suspicion.

When the car came to a stop, Julian got out of the car along with the others. He was a little bummed seeing how many other campers were around, really hoping they wouldn't be so crowded this weekend. He glanced at the others, seeing that they weren't too thrilled about the idea of camping with so many people around. "Maybe we could explore the woods a little? Find a small, secluded place to set up camp?" He asked, glancing at the others once more to see what they may think of the idea.

Nikki slowly made her way to a small trail cut into the woods, it looked like it hadn't been used in a while since it was starting to become over grown again. "This way looks promising," She said, looking into the woods, really hoping they wouldn't have to walk too far before coming to a place big enough for the four of them to set up camp. She looked back at the others as Julian walked past her, leading the way down the slightly overgrown path. She quickly shrugged her bag up on her shoulders a little more and followed him into the woods.

Julian was scanning the woods around them when Nikki spoke up, he walked over to her, looking at the path she'd found. "Good find Nikki," He said with a smile, before walking past her, leading the way into the woods. He glanced around as they walked, looking for any place that may be suitable for camp, while still far enough away from the rest of the people at the camp. He glanced over his shoulder at Sera, a small smile on his lips, he really hoped they would get some alone time together, hoping that while on this trip he make up the nerve to tell her how he feels. 'But for now, lets just focus on setting up camp,' He thought as he went back to surveying the woods around them as they walked.

Nikki glanced over at her best friend as she walked along beside her, at Sera's words, she couldn't help but to smile. "No, it's cool. I'm sure I can suffer through a couple hours with your brother." She said quietly, rolling her eyes slightly to keep up appearances, but inside her heart fluttered at the opportunity to have some alone time with Jasper. Before her mind could wander too far down that road, Jasper spoke up, pointing out a rather large clearing in the woods. "Yeah, that looks good." She said with a nod of her head, her words blending with Julian's as he said the exact same thing.

Julian continued to lead the way into the woods, didn't notice Nikki and Sera talking, and had nearly passed up the clearing, his thoughts on other things, until Jasper spoke up. When he glanced over and saw the clearing he mentally face palmed himself, not sure how he'd missed it. "Yeah, that looks good." He said as he changed direction and walked toward the clearing, his words blending with Nikki's. "Jinx," He said with a small chuckle. When they reached the clearing, Julian shrugged off his pack and started to rummage through it so he could start to get his tent set up.

Nikki sat down on a fallen tree, which made a great little bench in the big clearing. She didn't know the first thing about putting up a tent, and figured she would just get in the way if she tried to help, so she let the guys take care of it. She raised a curios eyebrow when she saw Jasper whispering to Sera, wondering what was going on. When Jasper asked if she wanted to share the tent with him, her heart skipped a beat and she had to keep the smile off her face, not wanting Sera to get suspicious. "Yeah, sure," She said with a small shrug of her shoulders, trying to play it cool. "So, what do you guys wanna do now?" She asked once they guys had finished setting up the tents.

Julian quickly helped Jasper with setting up the tents. When he heard Jasper ask Nikki if she'd share a tent with him, a small smile tugged at Julian's lips, knowing that he'd be sharing a tent with Sera, the weekend suddenly seemed to be looking up. When Nikki asked what they wanted to do now, Julian glanced around quickly. "Well, one of us should probably go try to find some wood or something so we can have a campfire for tonight." He said, running a hand through his hair, wanting to make sure they had everything in order before it started to get dark.
