Chapter 9

 

“Yo B-rok, where you at?”  Nick looked around him in the hopes of finding Brian to be there.

 

“Boo!” Brian gently pressed his fingers into Nicks back, giving him a scare.

 

“Ahh!” Nick jumped a foot in the air, swirling around to look behind him.  “Brian?”

 

“Uhh huh!  That would be me!” He wore an angelic smile as Nick faced him, his hands behind his back, and swaying back and forth from his tip toes to his heels over and over again.

 

Nick shook his head , chuckling slightly.  “You’ve always liked sneaking up on people, I should have known what I was in for.”

 

Brian laughed with him, and then changed the subject.  “So what’s up Nicky?”

 

“Not to much, but- hey, Nick was known to cut his sentences short and this time was no different.  Lets go sit on the sofa, I’m tired of standing,” Nick directed Brian to the sofa and the two got caught up and then there was yet another subject change.

 

Two and a half hours later, Nick and Brian had changed positions on the sofa.  Nick had one leg hanging off the arm rest and his upper body hanging off the entire sofa, Brian on the other hand had his head facing nicks feet, his legs hanging off the opposite arm rest.  There was four empty soda cans and an empty chip bag.  The entire scene was comical to say the least.

 

“So let me get this straight, you want me to go into Kevin’s house and randomly move stuff into the wrong places, and do stuff to completely freak him out?”  Brian was stating the obvious to Nick.

 

“Yep, that’s what I want you to do,” Nick answered, he had only been half listening, Brian had a way of boring you if you listened to him too long.

 

“Ok, but what’s in it for me?  Besides the mere enjoyment of watching my cousin freak out.”

 

“That’s all there is to it, unless you include the fact that your helping a good friend out,” Nick sat up long enough to give Brian the puppy dog eyes and then went back into his current position.

 

“Fine!”  Brian wouldn’t have told Nick no anyways, it would be a classical joke, and Brian had always been all for that kind of stuff.
