Secret School Romance: Sequel to NJCGR.:Chapter 1

Mama J'S POV
"What'd you think?" I asked Paul.
"They've definiely thought everything out well. Having all 3 girls come, bring it up to us after tour is over and during the news. They know that's about the best time to ask for anything. And getting Big Rob and Frankie in on it. And asking us together. Definitely thought out really well. They're serious." He said.
"I was think that too. If they've thought it out this well I don't see any issues with it. Nick was right.We do love the girls like the daughters we never had. Which hasn't happened with any of the other girls they've gone out with."
"Yeah. I'm thinking yes. But..."
"But what dear?"
"At the same time I think no. Think about it. Over 2 months on the road with not much to do."

"C'mon though. We trust and know our boys. And I trust and know the girls. They won't do anything. Especailly since the girls dote on Frankie so much. I see your point, but still."

"I know. And I see yours. I don't think we should. NO matter how much we love the 6 of them. Or how much they love us. Or how much they love each other. I think we should wait until at least we're back on tour to decide Decide if the boys can handle the girls and how they handle everything while the girls are at school."

"Yeah. Let's wait til after homecoming."

"That works."

"Are we going to tell them?"

"Yeah. Let's."

NICK'S POV
"Hey Rie." I said when she picked up her phone.
"Hey honey. Good timing. My break just started."
"Yay me. I'm getting better at this."
"Yeah, ya are. What's up?"
"Is there something wrong with me calling just to hear your voice?"
"No. But I know you don't call during the day unless it's big."
"Ok. I told Mom and Dad about touring next summer. They seemed pretty into it, but they said they'd talk about it."
"Good. I'm glad to hear it. The people are yelling at me to get back out. They just got a busload of kids. The same ones that stop here after school everyday."
"Ok. Just thought I'd let you know. Love ya Rie."
"Love you more Nicky."
"There's no way."
"Look at your finger and think about it for a sec."
"Ok, maybe there is." I said looking at her great grandma's wedding ring which I hadn't taken off since I got it.
"Talk to ya later."
"Yeah." I can't believe she's stuck at work all day and I get to goof off. It's not fair that such an amazing girl has to be coopped up in a little biulding all day. Ice cream shop or not. I miss her so much and she doesn't know.It hasn't even been a month yet and I miss her more than anything. I don't know how I'll get along without her for much more than a month.
"NICK! DUDE! Time to go." Kevin screamed standing outside my door.
"Coming Kevin. I'll be down in a minute." Food time! YES! Then a radio interview. Lots of fun. I have a bad feeling about this radio show today. It's the first one since we got off tour and no doubt they'll ask about the sudden new ring and girls. I don't know how I'm gonna do this.

MY POV
I can't believe it. I know something else is wrong with Nick, but he won't tell me. I can tell by the way he talked to me. Wasn't today the day they had the radio interview thing? I think so. First one after tour. After I left. Which means first to know about the ring. I'm gonna have to listen to it.
"Mollie, Calie, do you guys mind if we listen to the JB interview today?"
"They've got an interview today?" Mollie asked in disbelief.
"Yeah. In LA. I wanta hear it."
"Sure, works for me." Calie said.
"DUH! Works for me?! I'd love to? Which staion?" Mollie said tunring around to the XM radio we had in the shop.
"Uh, 100.5. I think that's what they...I heard."
"What was up with that?"
"What?" I asked innocently.
"The they..I heard?"
"They said online the other day."
"Oh. Ok. Whatever."
"This is Travis King on 100.5 FM out of LA. We're here today with the one and only Jonas brothers! Hey guys."
"Hey Travis."I heard the guys say over the radio.
"Can you turn it down? I'm trying to enjoy myself."
"I'm sorry. This is just really important to me. You can sit outside. It's gorgeous outside right now."
"I think I'll just leave."
"Have a nice day."
"So, Nick, everyone's been dying to ask you this question. And I just happen to be the first to do it. Where'd you get the other ring that you wear now?"
"HE'S WEARING ANOTHER RING?!" Mollied screamed.
"SSSSHHHHH!!!!!!" I hissed.
"Um, yeah. I have been wearing it since the third concert in San Fransisco a couple weeks ago."
"A girl?"
"A very special one."
"Very special? Like, girlfriend?"
"HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND?!" Mollie yelled as someone came in and left without gettin any ice cream.
"Mollie shut up or I'll duct tape your mouth."
"Yeah. You could say that."
"Does this girl have a name?"
"Course, everyone has a name. But she asked me to not tell. At least not yet."
"And you're just gonna keep her wish? No questions asked?"
"Yeah. I respect her and her wishes. She doesn't want all the attention from the magazines and everything, and so we decided I wouldn't tell."
"Oh. That's a first. I've never had someone not answer a question the way I thought they would. So, what's so special about this ring above anything else she could have gotten you?"
"Well, it was her great grandma's wedding ring and she gave it to me to remember her by while I'm on the road and she's at school."
"She's in college?"
"No. She goes to a private boarding school."
"Oh. Ok. That's something I hadn't heard. So it's like a promise ring?"
"Well, kind of. Better. She doesn't trust anyone to hold onto it she's so scared they're gonna lose it. She trusts her mom and her grandma to hold onto it. She doesn't trust anyone else in the world with it. She was really close to this grandma and when she got the ring on her 16th birthday she put it on and took it off only for showers. For a while. It got pushed under something while she was in the shower and she tore the house apart trying to find it. She was so scared someone had stolen it."
"So, she'd kill anyone else if they had it."
"Yeah. She almost killed her sister cuz she swore she had stolen it cuz she wanted that one. But when her sister lifted whatever it was on the counter and said it had been there since she had taken her shower she forgave her. And her sister was happy cuz it meant she got her other great grandma's wedding ring."
"Wow. Protective much?"
"Very. But it doesn't carry over into the shows and the fans as much. Which is good cuz with her she wouldn't let me do meet and greets she's so protective of me and everything."
"That doesn't creep you out at all Nick?"
"It does sometimes, but she knows that I won't do anything. She knows I love her too much."
"Aw. Sweet."
"Hang on. She just texted me. Apparently she's listening."
"What'd she say?"
"The same thing she says half the time when I say I love her. You're a dork. But you're my dork. And I love you too. and she puts a little heart at the end of it if it's a text. Which just plain makes me smile if you hadn't noticed."
"And turn 25 shades of red."
"Yeah. That too. She said sorry. But she's not very sorry. She loves it that she can do that to me without trying."
"Rie, why are you texting in the middle of Nick talking?" Calie asked trying to read my texts.
"I'm talking to a friend."
"I see. So, have you gotten her anything?"
"I actually saw her for a couple days when we were in San Fran and I got her a necklace and a promise ring and then an anklet when she left. It's a set and looks really good on her perfect tan.Oh. She's says thanks."
"So, you got her 3 things and she gave you one? That's kinda unfair if you ask me."
"Except it's not. It doesn't bother me. The ring she gave me means more than the world to her. We both find it fair. What I gave her meant a lot. And what she gave me meant even more. If anything I owe her."
"Ok. If you think so. SEems unfair to me. What about you other guys? You seem pretty happy lately. You got girls?" Travis said finally pulling off Nick. Thank God. I was gettin worried. I texted Nick. Who soon laughed at nothing, seemingly. ;)
"You're pretty happy with yourself." Mollie said talking to me but tunring around to help hte customer who had just come in.
"What do you mean by that Mollie?" I asked.
"I don't know. you just seem happier than you should for having worked 2 straight weeks...That's $5.47. Thank you."
"WAIT! It's YOU?!" Calie yelled at me after the guy had left.
"What's me? What did I do now?" I asked innocently.
"It's not what you did. It's what you didnt' do. You didn't tell us you're Nick's girlfriend. You were texting during the show and laughing to yourself. You wear a promise ring, with matching necklace and anklet every day. You were the only one who probably got why Nick just randomly laughed after Travis turned his attention to the other guys. And don't think we don't hear you say Nick a couple tiems while you're on break on your phone. We hear it, we just didn't think that it was NICK JONAS!"
"Yeah ok. I am. But you can't say ANYTHING! What he said is true. I don't want the cameras or the interviews. At least not yet. I'm not ready for it. Guys, sorry I didn't tell you. I couldn't. We told each other we wouldn't tell. We want it to stay a secret."
"Ok. I can keep it. I get why you want it to be a secret." Calie said hugging me. The two other girls that I worked with when I worked at Baskin Robbins had become some of my best friends, who I told everything to. Everything else at least. THey knew when I was hiding something.
"I don't! If I was dating him I'd want everyone to know!"Mollie cried out.
"If I can get you backstage passes and front row seats to the next time they're in DC, can you promise to keep it a secret? I got this one." I said referring to the lady who had just walked in."May I help you?"
"Um, I'd like a large Banana Strawberry smoothie."
"Calie, large Banana Strawberry smoothie. Coming right up. That's $8.73. Thank you. It will be ready shortly."I said with the fakest smile on my face. Turning around I asked Mollie, "Can you, can you keep it a secret?"
"Yeah. Promise."
"K. Hang on a sec." I said taking the smoothie from Calie and handing it to the lady who walked out the door moments later. "Swear?"
"Yeah. I swear."
"If you tell, you're dead. I'm not kidding. I will hunt you down and beat you with a spoon until you die."
