“What!” The other kid from the car walks up to the door, the one with the smart mouth and big attitude, and points to me. “What the hell is he doing here?”
“Same thing I said.” He shrugs. “Couldn’t be here for you, he’s not in uniform, no cuffs out.”
“Shut up, moron,” Drew says, standing by his brother who he closely resembles with their low cut dark curly hair. “Why the hell are you here? Doesn’t look like you’re here to arrest anyone.
“Really?” I say, brows raised. “Doesn’t it look like I’m here on a friendly visit? I brought donuts and coffee.” I hold them both up, feeling a little silly trying to explain and defend my presence to the juvenile interrogation squad.
“Really? The only time a cop shows up at your door without a call is if some shits going down, like did someone die?”
Geez. “I have no ulterior motives, guys.” Except for trying to get your sister to go out with me. “I’m actually expected here. I was invited.”
“Who would invite you here?” Drew scoffs, looking me up and down with obvious disdain.
“Your sister.” I try again for another pleasant smile.
“My sister doesn’t like you.”
Damn, way to be honest kid. But if I really thought that was the truth I wouldn’t be here.
“I thought we went over this at the unlawful traffic stop. When you tried to pick her up with that weak ass line you were trying to get her with.”
“It was not weak—look.” I stop, take a breath and remind myself this is a kid, I don’t need to get into an argument with. “Can you just please tell your sister I’m here?”
“Bro, it was weak, and a little pathetic for a cop,” the one who opened the door says.
“I wasn’t trying to pick her up. She ran the light and almost hit another car.”
“That's why you stopped us, couldn’t be because we had some color in our skin?” the smart mouth one with all the attitude says.
“No. I was doing—“ Why am I letting this kid jerk me around, he’s so obviously trying to rile me up. “Can you just get your sister for me? I came to do a job.”
“Mmhmm. Yo, Lex! The blue fuzz is here. He’s trying to get into your pants again.”
“Hey!” I point my bag of donuts at him.
“I’m not lying, am I…” He shrugs walking away
His brother snickers. “I’m Ryan, and that’s my brother Drew.”
“Is he always this annoying?” I look after Drew sitting on the couch taking up a game controller.
“He’s my brother, I plead the fifth.” He smiles, a small dimple showing on his cheek.
I smile back and hand him the bag of donuts. Good looking kid, both of them, but suspicious and annoying, especially Drew over there.
“What blue?” Lexi jogs down the stairs, hand on the railing, looking sexy and sweet in mid-thigh high shorts, a black tank top under an open button-down shirt, and construction boots.
“Good morning, almost afternoon.” I smile brightly, as she stops mid-step hearing my voice on the middle of the stairs.
“Why are you here?” she says, genuinely puzzled.
“I was in the neighborhood and I heard you needed help. I bought coffee and donuts.” I hold up the holder with the coffee and motion in the direction of the donut bag.
“You heard?” she says, looking at her brothers scarfing down the bag of donuts. “You guys just let him in?”
“What were we going to do? He’s a cop who brought donuts,” Ryan mumbles, around a mouth full of Bavarian cream.
“What you would usually do if a cop shows up at our door?”
