Jasmine's POV

The cab pulled up in front of Ant's apartment.

"Bye Ant!" I said as I climbed into the taxi.

"You sure you'll be okay?" he asked, the worry evident on his face. I chuckled.

"I'm fine." he sighed.

"Okay. See you later." I closed the door and waved to him as the cab moved further away.

Anthony has been so protective of me. It was kind of nice though. He's also getting cuter.

"Whose getting cuter? That handsome boy who just dropped you off?" The driver asked. I blushed a deep shade of red. Crap I said that out loud! I decided against lying to her. What's the point when I'll never see her again?

"Yah." I sighed. "He's really worried about me because of how things ended with my last boyfriend." The driver looked at me sympathetically in the mirror.

"Tell me about him." she said.

"Well," I started, "His name is Anthony and he's my roommate. He-"

"Hold up!" the driver interrupted. "You like this guy and your living with him." I nodded. "That won't work if you tell him and he don't like you." I sighed.

"I know. That's why I'm not telling him."

"Anyways continue." the driver, who I later learned was Danielle, said. We chatted like this the whole ride and by the end we had traded numbers and agreed to meet at my apartment for lunch next weekend.

"Hey Steph!" I said as Steph ran to the front of the restaurant to hug me.

"How's my bro?" she asked. I smiled just at the thought of Ant.

"Good!" I responded. Handsome. Thankfully I didn't say it out loud this time.

"You still like him?" Steph asked.

"Ya- NO" I responded. "Ant's just my friend." Steph was smirking but didn't press any further.

We chatted for a few minutes before Steph had to step outside to take a phone call.

Stephanie's POV

Anthony really must like this girl. First he makes me get here ten minutes early so I can be here when Jazzy gets here. Then he's texting me non stop and now he's calling me. He might as well be here.

"What Anthony?" I asked as soon as I answered.

"Is Jas there? Did she get there alright?" he asked quickly. I could here the anxiousness in his voice.

"Jazzy's fine." I responded. "Don't worry. I'll get her home safe so you can keep having a crush on her but doing nothing about it."

"First off," Anthony started, "I don't like Jas. I'm just worried about her. Second," he continued, "if I did like her, I would do something about it." I chuckled.

"You're going to hell if you keep telling all these lies."

"I'm not lying." Anthony protested.

"Whatever." I said. "See you on Monday at lunch."

"Bye Steph. Text me when you guys are heading back."

"Fine." I replied. "Bye" I hung up and walked back to our booth.

"Who was that?" Jazzy asked as I slid into the seat across from her.

"Your boyfriend." I said. I then saw Jasmine's face and remembered how things were with her ex.

"Anthony!" I quickly added. Jazzy smiled brightly. "He was really worried about if you got here safely." I continued.

"Aww he gets so cute when he's nervous." She blushed deep red when she realized what she had said. I smirked but ignored it. I've teased her enough for one day.

Jazzy and I finished our dinner and walked outside. I got a text from Anthony.

When will Jas be home?

I quickly responded.

We're getting ice cream. We'll come back after.

I put my phone away and turned to Jazzy.

"Jasmine when was the last time you went somewhere without Anthony?" I asked her.

"Hmmm," she thought. "Must've been before Noah came back from California." Her voice trailed off at the last words and she looked at the ground.

We got our ice cream and sat down.

"Hey Jazzy?" I asked. She turned to me. "I don't think Anthony knows that you like him. He might ask you out if he did." There were a few minutes of silence before Jasmine spoke.

"I might ruin our friendship and I don't want that."

"Yah I guess." I responded. I love my brother to death and Jazzy seems like a great person. I decided to text Pippa and Renée. A while ago we had decided to get Jasmine and Anthony together.

#TeamJanthony

steph: I'm with Jazzy right now. I'll see how much Janthony shipping I can do.

ren: Good luck. They are so stubborn.

cinnamonrol: ikr

I put my phone away and Jazzy and I walked the rest of the way to the apartment, chatting about Hamilton. When we got to the door to Ant apartment. He answered before I even had the chance to knock twice.

"Hey guys!" He said. "Back so soon?" Jasmine smiled at him. He invited us inside.

When I walked passed the door, I intentionally tripped so I pushed Jasmine into my brother.

"Sorry!" I said. I watched triumphantly as both Jasmine and Anthony looked at each other and blushed furiously.

"You guys wanna watch a show?" I asked. They both nodded quickly so they could get out of this awkward situation.

We sat down on the couch. Anthony sat between me and Jasmine which gave me a perfect oppertunity.

While we watched I gradually inched myself closer to my brother. He, in turn, moved away from me, closer to Jazzy.

I looked over and saw that Anthony was turned, talking to Jasmine. I leaned against Anthony, suddenly, so that he rammed into Jasmine, pressing his lips against her neck.

I silently giggled as Anthony apologized profusely. They both were blushing a deep shade of pink.

"Your fine Ant. It was an accident." Jazzy said.

We started watching Once Upon a Time again. If I can just do it one more time.

----

"See you Steph!" Anthony said as he started to close the door. I had a sudden idea.

I squeezed my way through the almost closed door and back into the apartment. I pulled Anthony and Jasmine into a big hug.

As I let go of them, I made it so they were, yet again, uncomfortably close. I giggled as they both blushed bright red. Success!

"Bye!" I happily exclaimed as I ran out the door. I'm gonna get those two together if it's the last thing I do.

Anthony's POV

I am so mad at my sister right now. She kept shoving Jas and I together. She even made me kiss her once. She smelled REALLY good. Wait what?

"Well goodnight!" Jas said. As she walked into her room.

"Night!" I said back. "Sorry about Steph." Jas chuckled.

"It's fine." she said. We walked into our separate rooms.

I'M SO SORRY ABOUT HOW LATE THIS WAS. The next one might be a little late too because I haven't started it and I'm supposed to post it tomorrow. Sorry. Thank you so much for reading this. I really do need more ideas so if you guys have any... If there are any mistakes please tell me.
