Chapter 5
Johnny was still looking at Ava's picture when Jay walked in from the deck.
Johnny looked up and said, "Is Erika leaving so soon?"
"Yeah." Said Jay. "She has to give surfing lessons tomorrow morning, so
she wants to get some sleep."
"What time is it?" asked Johnny.
"9:59," said Jay.
At that moment, Bradin rushed through the door.
"Did I make it?" he questioned when he caught his breath.
"Yeah," said Johnny, "it's 9:59 right now."
"Thank god," said Bradin as he flopped down on the floor. "Sara and I were
walking and talking, and I just kind of lost track of time."
"Sara?" Remarked Jay in a questioning voice.
"Who's Sara?" asked Johnny.
"She's just a friend." Said Bradin. "I used to like her, but now we're just friends. So how did things go tonight?" asked Bradin as he sat up."
"Slight run in with Nik," said Johnny.
"But overall," said Jay, "I think that we did very well."
"Where is Nikki?" asked Bradin as he looked around the room.
"She's in her room," said Johnny.
"Cameron probably kissed her," said Bradin with a grin. "She's probably scribbling it down in her diary right now. What did she do anyway? About
the slight 'run in', I mean."
"She and Cameron just wanted to go out for a walk," said Johnny, "and it was all ready getting dark, so we thought that it would be better for them
just to hang around here."
"I think that we were being to over bearing," said Jay. "They are only
thirteen."
"Yeah," said Bradin. "I'm goin' to bed, night."
"Night," said Jay and Johnny.
Bradin went to his room and was careful not to wake up Derrick.
Back in the living room Johnny and Jay sat up talking for awhile.
"You don't think that Ava would disapprove of them just kissing goodnight,
do you?" questioned Johnny.
"No," said Jay in a laid back voice. They're thirteen, it's what thirteen
year olds do."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Only our parents would let us be totally alone," said Johnny with a smile. She's a good kid though," said Johnny
decidedly.
"That's what she wants us to think," said Jay.
Nikki walked into the room and flopped down on the couch. "Are we going to
call Aunt Ava tonight?" she asked.
"I don't think we will tonight," said Johnny. "They have been traveling
all day, and I'm sure they're tired."
Just as Johnny said this, the phone rang. Nikki picked up the phone and
heard her Aunt's voice from the other end.
"Hey Aunt Ava," said Nikki as she jumped off the couch and headed upstairs.
"I guess I was wrong," said Johnny as he sighed.
"What's with the picture," said Jay as he held the picture of Ava up so
that he could see it better.
"I don't know," said Johnny. "I was just looking at her."
"Liar," said Jay with a sly look on his face. "You still have feelings for
her."
"I do not," said Johnny.
"Do to," said Jay.
"Do not," said Johnny.
"Do to," said Jay.
"Ok," said Johnny, "I think I still have feelings for her."
"I knew it," said Jay. "What's holding you back mate?"
"Well," said Johnny, "she just has a lot on her mind right now about these
kids, and I just don't think that it's a good time."
"Johnny," said Jay as he shook his head, "this would be the best time.
She's on the rebound from Cameron's dad, and she liked you before."
"Yeah," said Johnny with a grin. "May be I'll talk to her when she gets
home.
Upstairs Nikki had flopped on her bed to talk to her Aunt.
"So how are things holding up?" asked Ava.
"It's ok so far," said Nikki. "Johnny and Jay wouldn't let Cam and I go for a walk tonight, so I was a little upset, but other than that they're
doing great."
"Well," said Ava, "they just want to make sure that you and Cameron aren't doing anything you aren't supposed to. That's easier if you aren't alone
together in the dark. What did you guys do instead of a walk?"
Nikki gave Ava an account of the evening's activities. "Then he told me he
really liked me, and he kissed me," said Nikki.
"Oh Nikki," said Ava, "I'm so happy for you. Just make sure that the only
thing that you're doing is kissing."
"Don't worry," said Nikki, "we aren't going to do anything stupid."
"Good," said Ava. "Is Bradin around?"
"He's asleep," said Nikki. "He came in around ten and crashed."
"Oh," said Ava, "I guess that means Derrick is asleep to."
"Yeah," said Nikki, "Johnny put him to sleep around 9:00."
"Let me talk to Jay then," said Ava.
"Kay," said Nikki.
They said their good byes, and then Nikki ran downstairs to give the phone to Jay and she gave Johnny the other phone so that they could all talk to
each other. I know that on the show Nikki and Cameron broke up, but I want them to stay
together.
Please review. :)
