Accidental Lab Rat (Lab Rats Fanfic)

Chapter 52

Chase POV

I was in the kitchen chewing a few energy pellets for the week like I normally do to keep up my energy for bionics when in clicking. It was the sound of high heels.

"Smile and be polite"

"Smile and be polite." The voice ordered over and over in a whispered tone. Who is that?

Soon came Nikki, dressed in a jeans, a dark blue blouse,her blonde hair curled from it's usual naturally straight form,and her make up done almost professionally. She was really dressed up. For what?

"Hey Nikki!" I called out, catching up to my girlfriend who was speed walking like she was hoping no one would notice her.

She turned when I called her name. She looked nervous but changed it to play off normal

"Oh, hey Chase." She greets awkwardly.

"Where are you going?" I ask curiously. She won't look me in the eye as she thinks.

"Um, over to Lauren's." She says but I can tell she's lying.

Nikki won't look a soul in the eye when she's lying. A fib I cought onto when we would watch chick flicks and she would tell me she's fine when her eyes are bloodshot and she's fighting off tears.

"Your pretty dressed up for Lauren's." I say and she shrugs

"Just wanted to look nice." She shrugs. "Well,bye." She says before bolting to the door.

"Hold on young lady." I hear as Tasha appears out of Davenports office.

"Almost out." She mumbles defeatedly as she walks back over.

What's going on?

"So, Nikki, I found your parents voicemail." Tasha says crossing her arms.

Her parents? Weren't they always away?

"Yeah..." Nikki nods looking cought.

"Explain please why your mom was apologizing for us not being able to make it." Not being able to make it?

What's Nikki been up too?

Nikki sighed before explaining "My parents called about a week ago telling me there in town for the night. They wanted to meet the people I was staying with but I didn't think you would really enjoy there company so I said you guys couldn't make it." She shrugs trying to give an innocent smile.

Tasha gives her a motherly smile "Nikki! We'd love to meet your parents! I'm gonna call right now and invite them over." Tasha says looking excited before skipping back to Davenports office.

I was left in the room with Nikki. She was looking at me with a sheepish smile. She was probably nervous that she got cought.

"Lauren's huh?" I chuckle as she eyes me.

"You'll understand why I didn't want them here when you meet them." She says crossing her arms.

"They can't be that bad. Plus you've met my family, it's my turn to meet yours." I say wrapping my arms around her waist.

"You have met my family." She counters

"Your brother, I wanna meet the parents." Insist. She shrugs

"If you insist."

Nikki's POV

Tasha made the family dress up. Everyone looked nice. I loved when Chase wore polos. It looked really nice on him. So that's an up.

But my parents coming, it's a down

I love them, but they are never really around. They left the day I turned bionic after staying for a week. I missed them but I knew I could handle there absence. My brother can, he's done it his whole little life. He sees them rarely and I feel sorry for him. But that's how I grew up. He will survive with a gleaming smile.
