 Chapter 5

  Nathan’s POV

“What a babe!”  I thought as I saw one of the HOTTEST chicks I have seen in my entire life step out of a black Audi 7. I literally felt like my jaw hit the floor when I saw her step out of the car. “Who is she? Is she staying here with Kris? This summer might not be so bad after all.” I was talking to myself mentally as I checked out this girl’s amazing body. My eyes trailed up her curvy figure and finally landed on her face. “You know she kinda looks like Kris, if Kris was older and hotter and less of an annoying geek and… come to think of it… where is Kris? Is she BEHIND the hot girl or…”

 Realization dawned on me as I realized that the hot girl WAS Kris. Then ultimate horror enveloped my entire being as I realized that I had just checked out my baby cousin! I called her “hot” and fantasied about things that should not be done with BABY COUSINS! I was sure that my shifting emotions were written clearly all over my face when my mom turned to me with a worry in her eyes.

 “Are you okay baby? You look a little green.” She said as she stepped forward as if to take my temperature.

 “I think I’m going to be sick.” I said while walking into the house, away from her motherly concern. I really thought I was about to throw up soon. I needed some time to clear my head so I rushed as quickly as my nauseous body would take me to my room and locked the door, tight.

 Kris’ POV

 As soon as I stepped out of the car, I couldn’t hold back the arrogant smirk that crept onto my lips. They were all “gob-smacked”. All my cousin’s mouths were hanging open and Aunt Shania was smiling lovingly at me. Nathan’s reaction was the best! His face was contorting with all these different emotions but I didn’t even take time to analyze what they were. I was too busy trying not to double over and start laughing like an idiot. Honestly, it was absolutely hilarious and it took all my strength not to crack up then and there in front of everyone. The best part was when he ran into the house looking like he was going to be sick. I couldn’t help the snickers that escaped my lips after that.

Jacqueline was the first to recover. Then she attacked me.

“I missed you so much!” Jacqueline practically screamed in my ear.

“Jacs… can’t… breath,” I managed to gasp out. She may not look it, but she has some serious strength.

“Sorry,” she looked sorry for a second. Then she started rambling, “OMG! Look at you! You look like a freaking supermodel! You have to tell me how you did it. Aphrodite’s got nothing on you!”  oh yeah I forgot about her obsession with Greek mythology. Looks like nothing’s changed over the years.

“And OMG! It’s been years! Why haven’t you come before? But whatever. You’re here-“ I tuned out the rest of her rant. She’s even louder than I remembered, and I didn’t think that was possible.

I eventually put my hand over her mouth, “Jacs! Breath, calm breaths. We have two months to catch up. You don’t have to tell me every detail of your life for the past six years, right now.” She just nodded excitedly.

“You’re lucky you don’t have to live with her,” said a familiar voice from behind. “Sirk we’ve missed you so much! We don’t see you for six years and suddenly you turn into this freaking model! Whatever happened to my innocent little cousin?” Alexis said. I went up to her hugged her tightly.

“Sorry Sixela, but you can’t exactly expect me to come up here every time I want to see you guys. And I’m still your little cousin. Just not as innocent.” They laughed. It was a little sad that they didn’t know how not innocent I was. “But I really did want to come and see you guys more often, but I have school and work and…” an abusive father who would never let me do that. Obviously I didn’t say the last part, but I was thinking it.
