Nick Jonas may be buffer than ever these days — but don’t expect the pop star to carry his own things out of the store.

The 18-year-old heartthrob was spotted getting some help out to the car in Sherman Oaks, CA  (January 22) after an apparently successful trip to the Apple Store.

Meanwhile, Nick has been spending a great deal of time with Jasmine V (a.k.a Justin Bieber‘s former flame) lately, but she makes it clear to Latina magazine that they are not dating.

“I’m just having fun, she says. “Of course, there are people that I like, but I’m focusing on my music.”

So, what’s behind her relationship with Nick? “A couple of week ago I was in the studio with him,” she says. “We’re writing a song together. He was by his piano and we started brainstorming.”
