Chapter 6: The Perfect Candidate

With sadness in her heart, Nikki spent the next three days in her room. Cameron had continued hanging out with Bradin everyday and each day her sadness grew.

'What the hell could they possibly be doing,' she thought to herself, 'it's like he loves my brother and cant live without him. There has got to be away to put an end to this.'

She looked out the window into the dark and rainy afternoon. 'That's it,' she thought. She ran out of her room and down the stairs where Ava was doing laundry.

"I'm gonna go for a walk," Nikki said.

"In the rain?"

"Yes, I don't care!" she said.

"Okay. Uh . . . have . . . uh fun," she said smiling with her eyebrows raised.

She quickly walked over to the railing of the staircase and grabbed the hoody set upon. She put on and rushed to get her shoes. She opened the door to what was now a light drizzle. She began her walk, heading in towards town. She pasted the Ice Cream shop and some shops and finally arrived at Jay's shop. The shop was closed but Jay could be seen moving around inside. She knocked on the door to get his attention and he came running over to let her in.

"Hey Nikki," Jay greeted her. "What are you doin' out in the rain?"

"I just had to come and ask you something."

"Okay, shoot."

"Does your nephew, Will, still live around here," she asked?

"Er . . . yeah, why?"

"Just wondering. Where does he live," she asked?

"Like five blocks away. At 904 104th Street. Why?" he asked now raising his voice.

"Thanks. Gotta go. Bye," she said turning and dashing from the store.

"Hey! Wait!" he called, but she didn't stop. By the time he had completed his statement she was nearly half way there.

She arrived on the doorstep of 904 and rung the doorbell twice. An elderly woman answered the door; supposedly to be the grandmother.

"Hi. Is Will home by any chance?" she asked the woman.

"Well, of course he is. Come in, come in. It's beginning to pour," she said. "You wait here while I go get him." She walked away through the hall and turned into a room off to the side. "William, you have a visitor," she said faintly. She turned back out into the hallway and began walking towards the kitchen out of sight. A boy came out of the room and walked towards Nikki.

"Nikki?" he said.

"Yep! It's me," she replied.

"Wow! It's great to see you. Haven't seen you since Jay's party that one year," he explained.

"Yeah, I know," Nikki said. "I wish we could see more of each other." She began egging him on.

"Well, why don't you and me hang out tomorrow," he said.

"Well, I'm busy tomorrow, but I'm free today if your not doing anything," she said smiling.

"Hmm. Okay, let me get ready really quick," he said running back into the room. He came back out, but with a hoody now covering his green tee-shirt. He walked into the unseen kitchen and eventually came out. Most likely he told someone that he was going out. "Okay, ready?" he said. She smiled and turned to open the door.

Later...

"Well, I had a really great time tonight," Nikki said. She was standing on the front porch with Will. They had just got back from splashing in the puddles and going to get something to eat.

"Do you wanna hang out tomorr-. Oh wait! Your busy," he said remembering what she had told him earlier.

"No! After how much I enjoyed tonight, I will try my hardest to get out of going tomorrow," she said. Nikki never really had any plans for the next day, she just said she did to make them go out today.

"Okay, I'll call you in the morning," he said.

"I'll be anxiously waiting," she giggled. Will stepped onto the next step of the porch and planted a kiss on her cheek. Nikki blushed, as well as Will but he turned away so fast she couldn't see that.

After he was out of sight, she walked into the house and closed the door slowly, continuing to blush. She looked around. Bradin, Johnny, and Cameron were sitting in the family room watching TV.

"Hey Nikki!" Cameron called. She focused her attention to him and gave him a dirty look. After he narrowed his eyebrows, she dashed up to her room thinking about Will.

Cameron turned to Johnny and Bradin and asked, "Was it something I said?"
