Nikki noticed the number and name flashing on her cell phone and she smiled as she grabbed the phone to answer.  "Hi." She spoke simply, kind of breathless from her mad dash to the phone.  She had missed him.  It had been far too long since they'd had time together.  Besides the occasional text message throughout hectic days, they hadn't had much contact.  The relationship they shared was anything but normal, but after ten years it certainly felt like it was normal.  Years ago, Nikki had tried to detach herself from the relationship with Andrew but it didn't work.  She loved him as a man as equally as she loved him as a brother.  Maybe even more.  It was hard to say, seeing as how Nikki still had to put on her sister role whenever the younger siblings were around.  Thankfully, it was easy enough for her to keep her true love for him hidden, mostly out of fear that they'd be found out.<br/><br/>Nikki adored and respected her brother so much.  All the times she'd just wanted to give up, he'd been there to encourage her.  All the times she'd felt like she had no friends who could understand how she felt, Andrew could.  The nights she'd cry because she felt like such a poor replacement for their mother, Andrew would hold her close and whisper what a great job she was doing.  Nikki had fallen in love with him.  It wasn't something they planned or intentionally started, this had just happened.  And though it was, in the eyes of others, so wrong, for Nikki it was so right.
