The Maison Series: Book 1

Chapter 6

"Ray, why is NiNi upsy?" Tyler asked when he saw her crying in Ray's bed.

"It's because Niko's mom went to heaven to with her dad." he was also upset but he hadn't wanted to worry the twins. Sergio went and scrambled into the messy sheets.

"NiNi?" he asked her in his quiet tone.

"Yes baby?" she smiled at him through her tears.

"Don't be upsy." and for the first time ever, Sergio hugged someone other than Tyler. Ray stood in the doorway with his mouth open in surprise. Niko closed her eyes and hugged him tight.

"Alright, buddy. No more upset NiNi from now on." she smiled at him and wiped her tears.

"Ray, can I take the twins out for ice cream?" she wanted to do something special with them. Ray smiled with his bright white teeth perfectly displayed, making his dimples compliment his beautifully designed facial features.

"Come on boys." Niko got up and pulled on a clean shirt and shorts before taking the twins one on each of her hips. They squealed with delight as she went down the stairs, their musical laughing filling the quiet downstairs living room.

"Which flavor?" the guy behind the counter asked as he checked Niko out.

"Which do you want, cutie pies?" she held them up so they could see.

"Chocwit!" Tyler pointed.

"Stawbee!!" Sergio smacked his hand against the glass and Niko laughed. They went to sit down and Niko stayed to talk with the guy, knowing he was lonely from the boring job.

"So, your sons?" he asked her.

"No, my little brothers." she smiled.

"Aw, they're cute. You too." he gave her a 100 Watt smile.

"Thank you, I'm Niko." she held her hand out.

"Josh." he shook hers.

"Nice to meet you, Josh." Niko grinned.

"Likewise." he told his boss he was going on break and walked out from behind the counter.

"Oh great. Clean up time." Niko bent over to pick up the empty paper ice cream bowls and Josh couldn't keep his eyes from her perfectly round rear end.

"Sergio, hold still!" she cleaned the opposing child's face.

"Haha. Little kids." he laughed. Niko rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Well it was nice to meet you, here's my number in case you wanna hang out sometime." Josh gave her a piece of paper with a number scrawled on it.

"Come on, boys. We'll go home and watch a Saw movie." she said. Josh looked at her like she was crazy until he noticed the two little kids smiling and clapping happily at the scary movie's title.

"Hey! Hey you! Girl in the red shirt!" four guys called to Niko.

"You're super cute!" one shouted. Niko turned around and said in a stupid voice with a turtle-like face saying, "Really? I didn't know!" she began walking again and the guys just stared at her like she was an escaped psychopath. The twins were giggling.

"NiNi, you should tease them wif your booty." Tyler suggested.

"Good idea, cutie." Niko saw they were still watching her. She gave a sexy smile and started to walk while swaying her hips in a way that made almost all guys go crazy when she passed them. They whistled at her, forgetting the earlier ordeal of her actions and speech impediment.

"NiNi, tell them they are silly goobers!" Sergio giggled.

"Aw, you guys are such silly goobers, it's almost cute." she teased. The twins jumped out of her arms and went to play at the park Niko had taken them to.

"NiNi! Push us!" the twins talked in unison again, causing Niko's wonderful laughter to fill the air, making the four men move closer to her.

"Can we help?" they asked.

"So beautiful, you got a name?" the one to her left asked.

"Niko. And yours?" she asked in return.

"I'm Tulio, that's Jones, the one with Sergio is Stone and the one with Tyler is Mick." Tulio said.

"Interesting names. What's the name of your gang?" they both looked surprised at her question.

"How'd you know?" he asked.

"I'm very observant." she smiled.

"Del Muertos. The Dead." he said.

"Interesting. I gotta go now, Leo needs the twins home for a nap." the two gangsters shared the same wide-eyed look with each other at the mention of Leo's name.

"It was nice to meet you." Niko smiled at them and she walked away, swaying her hips without realizing it.

"Holy..." Tulio started.

"Shit." Stone finished his sentence.

"Dex ain't never told us he got a fine-as-hell chick living with him." Mick said.

"Well we gotta go meet him so let's go." they all took off in the same direction that Niko had taken with the two small twins.

"Thanks for putting them down for a nap." Leo thanked her.

"No problem. I'm gonna go change into something less public." Niko went upstairs and changed into one of her graphic death metal tank tops and shredded blood red body hugging skinny jeans that showed her dangerously muscled but perfectly curved legs that would make almost every and any guy drool for them.

"LOL. Comfy?" Leo asked as she came back down.

"Yes I am!" Niko shook her butt at him and he laughed.

"I'll get it." she ran to the door before the bell woke up the sleeping children.

"Oh hi. Leo didn't tell me it would be you guys." Niko opened the door wide for the four familiar people. They were properly introduced and Leo warned her to be careful of Mick's wandering hands on women.
