Chapter 3
Johnny and Jay walked back into the living room and found that Cameron and Nikki had gone out to get into the hot tub and Bradin had gone to his room to get ready to go out.
"Do you think that we should tell them they aren't allowed?" Johnny asked Jay as they sat down with Bradin and Derrick.
"No," said Jay. "They are just out there talking, but if things get to far, we can always go out there and join them." He said the last words with a menacing grin on his face.
"I guess you're right," said Johnny. Though he looked as though he would rather have the two teens inside where he could see them.
"I'm going down to the pier for a few hours," said Bradin as he passed through the living room.
"Bradin, wait," said Johnny as Bradin tried to slide out the door. "Who are you meeting?
"I'm not meeting anyone," said Bradin. "I just want to grab some food down there and maybe see if Erika can give me a surf lesson tomorrow."
"Alright," said Johnny, "but remember you have a 10:00 curfew."
"I'll be here," said Bradin as he hurried out the door.
"So what's for dinner?" asked Derrick.
"I'll let you handle this one, mate." Said Jay as he went out on the patio.
"We'll have pizza," said Johnny as he picked up the phone to order it.
Out on the deck, Cameron and Nikki had been getting a little too close for Jay's liking, so he went out to separate them a little.
"So," said Jay, as he startled the two teens, "what are you two planning on doing tonight."
"We'll probably watch a movie or go for a walk," said Cameron, as he watched Jay with a nervous expression on his face.
"I think that you better keep your activities for this evening pretty close to home, mate," said Jay.
"Well," said Cameron, "a movie it is. What movie do you want to see, Nik?"
"I don't care," said Nikki, "but Jay can I talk to you for just a sec?"
Jay led the way into the house as Nikki got out of the steaming hot tub.
"WHAT are you doing?" questioned Nikki. "Aunt Ava and Susannah always let us take a walk. Do you not trust me?"
"Slow down," said Jay, "it's not that I don't trust you Nik, it's just that- ."
"What," said Nikki, "do you not trust Cameron?"
"It isn't a matter of trust." Said Jay. "It's just that you and Cameron have been alone together all day, and I would just prefer that you two keep it here tonight."
"I agree," said Johnny as he and Jay made their way into the kitchen. "You two just need to stick around here tonight."
"Come on." whined Nikki as she followed them into the kitchen. "It isn't like we would be alone in the house. We would just be taking a walk a long the beach."
"Nikki, you two are staying home tonight." Said Johnny in a firm voice.
"Fine," said Nikki as she stomped out onto the deck.
"So," said Cameron when he saw her, "what movie are we seeing tonight?"
"I guess we could just watch TV," said Nikki in an annoyed voice.
"What's wrong?" asked Cameron as he heard the tone in her voice.
"They don't trust us," said Nikki as Cameron slipped his hand into hers. "It just annoys me that they won't even let us take a walk along the beach alone."
"Kind of stinks doesn't it?" said Cameron. "We could go anyway, but I'm a little scared of Jay and Johnny."
"Yeah," said Nikki, "Johnny isn't as easy to trick as my Aunt and Susannah are."
"So I guess we're watching TV," said Cameron. "Don't worry, we'll have fun just the same."
Johnny and Jay walked back into the living room and found that Cameron and Nikki had gone out to get into the hot tub and Bradin had gone to his room to get ready to go out.
