"MOM!" Both Kayla and Jaymi yelled out from the top of the stairs. They both then continued to thunder down the stairs and head straight for Mrs. Bennet's bedroom. They found her sitting up in bed reading.
"What is it girls?" She asked, turning a page in her book, not looking up.
"Why is my stereo set up in the guest room?" Jaymi demanded.
"And why is my t.v in the guest room?" Kayla asked.
"Because your cousin Alexis is coming to live with us for a couple of months" Mrs. Bennet announced.
"No she's not!" Jaymi exclaimed. Mrs. Bennet raised her eyebrows.
"Excuse me?"
"Uh.. why?" Jaymi said.
"Because her and Ian are not getting on very well and Ian asked me to take her for a while" Mrs. Bennet said. The twins groaned and slumped down on their mothers bed. Alexis was a 13 year old bitch. Her mother, Mrs. Bennet's sister Kathy, had died when Alexis was only 5 years old. Ian was Alexis's father and now he couldn't cope with her.
"When's she coming?" Kayla asked as Mrs. Bennet got out of bed and headed for the downstairs bathroom to take a shower.
"This afternoon. Ian called me last night. He really need's to put some space between him and Alexis" Mrs. Bennet said, stopping in the doorway.
"I don't blame him for wanting to get rid of her. I just don't see why he had to dump her on us" Jaymi complained.
"That's enough. I know Alexis can be moody at time's but she hasn't had an easy life. So give her a break when she comes ok?"
"Yeah, whatever" Jaymi said, pushing past her mother, she headed back upstairs to her room. Kayla followed her. "This sucks!" Jaymi said when Kayla walked in.
"I know. I'm keeping her right away from Taylor!"
"How are you going to do that?" Jaymi asked. Kayla shrugged. Alexis was the kind of girl who got what she wanted and who she wanted. If she wanted another girl's boyfriend then she would get him. Alexis was 2 years younger than the twins but she looked 2 years older. She was about 5'5" and she had short, wavy black hair. Amazing green eye's and long, thick eye lashes. She had a small perfect nose and flawless skin. She had a body to match her face, perfect. Throughout the day the twins, Malcom and Mrs. Bennet got ready for Alexis's arrival. Malcom, Kayla and Jaymi drove to the air port to pick Alexis up. It took a while but they soon spotted their cousin. She was wearing a short, black mini skirt with a tight, very short black top. On her feet were tall black sandals and she had her arm draped across a guy who looked older than Malcom.
"Alexis!" Jaymi yelled out. Alexis looked their way and smiled.
"HI!" she squealed, leaving the guy to run over to the twins and Malcom. She gave each one a hug then returned to the guy.
"Jaymi, Kayla, Malcom.. this is Eric... Eric, these are my cousins.. the ones that I told you about." Alexis introduced Kayla, Jaymi and Malcom to her friend. Eric just smiled. He looked stoned. Alexis said goodbye to Eric and gave him the twins phone number, telling him to call her sometime. By the look on his face the twins knew that Alexis wouldn't be getting any calls from him. The four of them made their way to Malcom's car and Malcom started it.
"So... exactly how old was Eric?" Jaymi asked her younger cousin. Alexis shrugged. "I'm not sure exactly... but I think he was 21" She told them.
"21?! Alexis... you gave him our phone number!"
"Yeah.. so?" was Alexis's reply. Jaymi just shook her head and sat back in her seat. This was going to be a long few months.
---------------------------------------------
The next morning Isaac, Taylor and Zac were bored. Isaac and Taylor had tried torturing Zac for a while but even that grew boring.
"Why don't you three go and clean out the attic?" Mrs. Hanson suggested to her sons. Suddenly all three could think of things to do.
"Uh, gee mom. Sorry but I promised Jaymi that I would go to her house today... " Isaac said.
"Yeah, I have to help Kayla with something to" Taylor announced.
"All right... Zac? how about you..."
"I'm going with them." Zac said as he stood up. Mrs. Hanson nodded.
"Ok.. just be home in time for dinner ok? and stay out of trouble".
"Yes Mom" the boy's responded. They then headed out to Isaac's car. Once they got to Kayla and Jaymi's house, Isaac turned to Zac.
"Ok.. you can go now"
"What?"
"You can go now... you got out of cleaning the attic so you don't have to hang around here" Isaac said.
"No way. I'm staying here." Zac said as he headed to the front door. Taylor knocked and Malcom answered.
"Hey guy's.. your looking for Kayla and Jaymi I guess... well you'll find them out back" He said as he let the three of them in.
"Thanks" Taylor said. Just as they were about to walk out the back door, Kayla and Jaymi walked in. They were both wearing bikini tops and brightly coloured wrap-around skirts.
"Hi guy's!" Kayla said as she walked to Taylor to greet him. Jaymi smiled and waved.
"When did you get here?" Jaymi asked.
"About 5 minutes ago" Isaac said as he put his arm around Jaymi's waist.
"Ahh damn it! Zac, could you go out back and grab my book for me please? It's not mine so I don't want it ruined." Jaymi said.
"Uhh, s-sure" Zac said, unable to take his eye's off of his brothers girlfriend. He opened the door and walked outside. The day was hot and Zac was begining to hate himself for wearing jeans. Suddenly he stopped dead in his tracks. There was another girl lying on a banana lounge, flipping through a magazine that had him and his brothers on the cover. She had on a skimpy bright blue bikini and her short hair was pulled back into a ponytail.
"Who are you?" Zac asked. The girl looked up and pulled her sunglasses down her nose so that she could see him.
"Who wants to know?" She asked.
"I do."
"Only you?" Zac looked around him to make sure that there was no one else there.
"Yeah."
"Well then, I'm Alexis" Alexis said.
"Alexis who?"
"Alexis will do for now Zac" Alexis said, giving him a small playful smile. Zac swallowed.
"H-how did you know my name?" He asked. Alexis raised one eye brow and looked at him like he was an idiot. She then pointed to the front of the magazine.
"The twins told me about you and your brothers. Say... where would Taylor be at this moment?" Alexis asked, sitting up and stretching. She pushed her sunglasses back up and smiled. Zac felt like he had to sit down.
"Probably with Kayla." Zac said. Alexis pouted.
"That's right... she's going out with him isn't she?... lucky bitch" Alexis said. She stood up and Zac found out that she was shorter than him.
"Yeah.... she's going out with him." Zac repeated. Alexis ignored him as she started to walk back inside. Zac started to follow but quickly remembered Jaymi's book. He turned around, grabbed the book and raced inside. He found Alexis introducing herself to his brothers and he noticed that she was flirting with Taylor.
"Here Jaymi... I got your boof uhh I mean book" Zac said as he handed her the book.
"Thanks Zac.." Jaymi said, giving him a smile.
"I gotta get out of here" Zac said to himself. He was in a room with three gorgeous girls. Two of which he couldn't touch, not that they would let him anyway, and the other was probably to old for him anyway. But what he did know was that he liked Alexis... a lot.
