Chapter 12
“Hey Bro what’s up?” Aaron asked excited that
he finally got a hold of His older brother.
“Nothin much little dude, you?” Nick said smile very evident in his voice!
“Well I have two weeks before the second leg
of my tour kicks off and I was kinda wonderin if you’d like some company for
awhile,” he said in a rush of words.
“Well,” Nick started getting ready to turn
the boy down….
“PLEASE Nick!
I promise I wont cause any trouble,” Aaron said cutting Nick short.
“Well I was just gonna ask when your flight
was, but now you done made a promise to me,” Nick said trying to play it off
like he had planned all along to say yes.
Aaron chuckled but didn’t argue, and then
they hung up so Aaron could pack up his suitcase!
Nick shook his head as he dropped his phone
back into his pocket.
“Hey Nick what’s up dude?” Brian’s voice rang
out loud and clear in Nicks house.
Nick spun around, anger shining bright in his
eyes. “You!, he said pointing to Brian… You little shit, you
did that phone thing on purpose,” he said charging after Brian. Brian’s eyes got wide but he was soon on the
run from Nick.
“You were suppose to pull the prank on Kevin
not me you idiot!” Nick yelled as he stood at one side of his kitchen table,
Brian on the opposite.
Brian laughed, “I know, I know, but I
couldn’t resist.”
Nick
lunged at Brian, to anybody else it would have looked as if Nick were running
after the air, but Brian was as human as it got from Nick’s point of view, that
is disregarding the light glow that always surrounded him. Brian was faster and was on the run once
again.
Nicks cell went off causing both Brian and
Nick to stop and look at Nicks ringing pocket.
“Hello, Nick answered while mouthing to Brian , I will get you!”
“Hey Nick, It’s Casey.”
“Oh, hey Casey, what’s up?,” Nick asked,
watching as Brian flopped down on the sofa.
“Uhh nothing, Nick you sound out of breath,
do I wanna know what you were doing when I called?, and should I call back at a
better time?,” Casey asked.
Nick blushed, “Uhh, no I was running around
in the back yard,” he said, lying.
“Oh, I see,” Casey said not believing him for
a moment.
“You don’t believe me do you?,” Nick asked.
“Well not really, but let’s just get past
that. I was just wondering if you were
busy?,” Casey asked in a low voice.
“Umm, nope, I’m not actually, why did you
have something planned?,” Nick asked.
“Well I was kinda wondering if, Casey was
stumbling on the words. Nick I’m not
very good at this if you can’t tell.”
Nick fought the slight urge to laugh at
Casey’s obvious discomfort in asking Nick out.
“Well why don’t we go catch a movie?, you know just as friends?,” Nick
said finishing Casey’s sentence.
“Yea, that’s what I was trying to say, but
umm…” Casey trailed off, do you want me to meet you there.
“Well I can just pick you up if you want?,”
Nick offered.
“Uhh sure, when will you be here?” Casey
asked.
“Umm in about 20 minuets, is that alright?,”
Nick asked casually.
“Yea that’s fine, see ya soon Nick.”
“See ya.”
Nick dropped his phone in his pocket, and glared at Brian who was still
flopped out on the sofa, but had actually fallen asleep. Nick smiled mischievously, and headed into
the kitchen and took out mustard, ketchup, and pickle’s.
Nick bent down on his knee’s beside the sofa
and opening the ketchup bottle made a perfect circle around Brian’s face. He then used the mustard to squeeze a smile
onto Brian’s lips, which twitched some at the feel of it. And lastly he put the pickle’s over Brian’s
eyes, and pulling out his cell phone he took a picture of Brian ,and laughed
the whole way out the door.
