Chapter Six

“He’s heerrrrrreeee.”

Nikki’s back went ramrod straight at the creepy sounding statement from Olaf.

Looking over, she found the twins peeking out one of the living room windows. A chill went up her spine, but it wasn’t because she knew that the declaration meant Cruz was back to talk to her again.

“How many times do I have to ask you boys to stop trying to imitate the eerie kids in horror movies?”

Even though they weren’t supposed to watch anything above the PG rating, the obnoxious little brats had been sneaking scary movies into their room. Every day, she went into the twins’ room after they left for school and found a different movie hidden somewhere. What was worse, all the movies had kids as the main actors. At this rate, Nikki was going to avoid cornfields, pet cemeteries, and seemingly angelic looking orphans for the rest of her life.

The thing was, Nikki didn’t know if she should be more concerned about her two little brothers becoming deranged serial killers or if they were already kleptomaniacs, because she had absolutely no idea where they were getting all of these damn movies!

Flustered over both her brothers’ peculiar new habits and Cruz’s arrival, Nikki snapped, “Get away from that window, or I’m going to throw you both out of it!”

The boys turned their heads as one to look at her.

“We’re on the ground floor,” Olaf said.

“So if you throw us out, it won’t hurt us,” Erik continued.

And then, together, they both said, “But it would give us an excuse to rat you out to Mom.”

Holy shit! No wonder women went psycho with butcher knives in those scary flicks! If the twins didn’t stop that shit, she might go psycho.

Keeping her face as blank as possible so as to not let the little shits know how much they had unnerved her, Nikki calmly replied, “Have you checked your candy stash lately, boys? That chocolate bar I took from your new hiding spot was really good.”

Olaf’s and Erik’s eyes practically bugged out of their heads before they ran out of the living room so fast they nearly knocked her over.

As she used her crutches to steady herself, Nikki couldn’t even bring herself to be mad at the brats for almost making her fall. The small stumble was worth the opportunity to mess with their little heads. They might be way more devious than your average ten-year-old, but she loved reminding them that she was two steps ahead of them at all times.

Turning away from the twins retreating up the stairs, Nikki made her way to the front door, bracing herself on one crutch to open it. Once it swung open, she propped herself up against the doorframe and watched Cruz finish walking up her driveway. He had a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and Nikki bit her bottom lip so she wouldn’t smile like a loon.

Once he made it to the doorway, he held the flowers up to her in offering. “Saw these on my way here and thought of you.
