Chapter 10

I sighed and looked at the clock in front of me: it was 10PM. Wait a second, it was 10PM?????? I looked franticly for the twins and found them laying on the couch, ice cream wrappers all around them, and they were both asleep. I smiled at this and went up to them. They looked so angelic, they were both gorgeous… I've always wanted twins.

"Hey beautiful, you should stop working and go home, it's late…" Randy smiled, walking inside my office. He was such a nice guy, and he was nice looking too, but, sadly, he wasn't my type. I smiled and went up to him.

"Listen Randy, I left my car at the daycare Lizzie works at and-"

"Say no more, I'll go get it!"

"Thanks, you're my life savior!" I gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked up to the twins. Randy stared at me, that kiss had an effect on him I didn't want to evoke. I gently shook the twins awake. "Guys, come on, let's go.." they both grunted and got up.

"Listen Eli, you think we could go out-"

"Let's go, I'm tired…"

"Yeah, me too.. REALLY tired…" Angel and Aaron took my hands and walked me QUICKLY to Lizzie's car after giving Randy my keys.

"Thanks you two!!" I said, laughing, as we all got in.

"Where are we going?" Angel asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Well, you're going to tell me which way it is to your brother's and I'll take you there…"

"But we want to-"

"Hang out with you!" I laughed.

"You will, tomorrow… now I gotta take you to your brother's house 'cause I bet he's worried sick about you two-"

"I bet he isn't.." Aaron rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, he never is anymore…"

"Now, guys, I don't believe that's true…"

"Well, it is.. ever since Mand-"

"Aaron!" Angel shushed her twin brother and looked at me. "Never mind…"

Aaron shrugged and looked out the window as Angel gave me the directions to Nick's house… soon enough, we were already there. I got off the car, holding each twins' hand, and walked towards the front door, ringing the bell.

"At least the house is nice…" I thought. After a few more rings, Nick came to the door, breathing heavily.

"Yes?" he asked, but once he opened the door his expression maddened… and I could tell why once I saw a blonde head coming towards the door. Once he saw me looking over his shoulder, he got outside with us and closed the door. He cleared his throat. "May I help you?"

I looked at him… he was wearing only boxers and I could tell just HOW… excited, he was. I grinned inwardly… too bad this guy didn't have a brain.. he was a looker too, and sexy… I shook my head. "He's a bastard, remember…" I thought to myself. "Or is he?"

"May I help you?!!" he asked a little more agitated.

"I brought the twins home…" I went back to my cocky attitude and wrinkled my nose.

"I'm busy right now…" he returned the attitude. Aaron rolled his eyes and I could swear he was going to say something to him, so I spoke before he did.

"Great! I'm taking them home and we'll have a fun night, just us, and Lizzie… and probably Brian, and then we'll come back in the morning to get clean clothes and then, we'll start looking for Mikey again, what do you two say?" I smiled at them and acted all excited, when deep inside I wanted to kick Nick in the ass real hard.

"Yay!" Angel said excitedly and nudged Aaron, who just nodded, smiling, but I could tell he was still mad at Nick.

"Ok you two, go wait for me in the car then…" I patted their backs as they left, then I turned to Nick.

"Listen, I-"

"This is my phone number, and my address…" I handed him one of my business cards. "You may want to have a bag prepared for the two with clean clothes and some games 'cause they're coming with me for the whole day tomorrow, and then I'll bring them back home at around 8PM…" I turned around to leave.

"Wait!" I turned around - again - facing him. "Thank you…"

I looked deeply into his eyes… something told me to. His eyes were so blue… kind of piercing too. It's like they looked right into my soul. I shook my head and narrowed my eyes… I couldn't let this guy get to me. "I'm doing it for the twins… I could care less about you…" I turned around and walked to my car before he could do anything.. it was true though, I didn't care about him… or did I?
