"Have a good evening Miss McCord" One of the security agents said as he held the townhouse door open.
"Thanks!" Allison smiled and continued inside
As she set her bag down on the counter and searched the fridge for an after school snack she found the typically chaotic house suspiciously quiet "Hellooo?"
She started up the stairs annoyed at the lack of response "Mom? Dad? Anyone? I'm home..." Hmmm nothing she thought half excited to not have to listen to how Jason is protesting school rules, how Elizabeth and Henry "aren't" shadilly sharing state secrets, or hear Stevie talk about her dragged out breakup feelings.
She grabbed her moms ipad, a yogurt, a cozy blanket and plopped on the couch. Khloe Kardashian is sooo pregnant she thought as she scrolled through her favorite gossip magazine until she was quickly interrupted by the black screen of her mom's dead tablet. "Seriously" She sighed aloud, reluctantly getting up to find a charger. Oddly the house inhabited by five iPhone owners had not a charger to be found. So she texted her mom and asked where she kept hers, meanwhile she searched everywhere… except her parents bedroom. Her mom had to have a charger in there somewhere and she was determined to look until she found one, in hopes of not interrupting her rare peace and quiet. She searched all the outlets, the bathroom, and finally her mom's nightstand. Just as she opened the top drawer she saw a white cord sitting right on top, but in result of her privacy intrusion something pink caught her eye, that she knew as none other than a vibrator.
Immediately her face became hot and she could feel the bright red color flooding her cheeks. There is absolutely no way my mom, Elizabeth McCord, Secretary of State owns a vibrator. She thought horrified and embarrassed at the thought of even looking at her mother later that night after she returned home from work. Disgusted she slammed the drawer shut and ran downstairs, just then Stevie and Jason walked through the front door arguing about the new foreign policy agenda. Allison rolled her eyes. Here we go again, so much for my quiet afternoon she thought.
"Hey Ally" said Stevie warmly.
"Hey" Allison replied quickly and subtly detached.
"Are you okay? You look like you saw a ghost." Laughed Stevie.
"She's fine she probably just looked in the mirror for once" Jason teased as he jumped over the side of the couch almost bouncing onto the ground.
"Uh...yea I'm fine." A few minutes went by and Ally couldn't take the ramped thoughts in her mind anymore. "Hey guys?" she said hesitantly. "I went through mom's nightstand before you got here."
"Okayyyy and... save your confession for church Ally." Quipped Jason.
"No you don't understand, I found something."
"What like tampons?" Jason inquired dismissively.
"No doofus, like a sex toy."
Stevie stopped in her tracks turning from the kitchen to look at Allison in disbelief. Jason stared blankly, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. "You're kidding right?" Questioned Stevie nervously. An image appeared in Jason's mind as he quickly shook it off and said "Well is it really that shocking? I mean do you see them together, it's like a bad rom com."
"Of course they have sex, they don't hide that well but… a vibrator really."
"Maybe she doesn't use it anymore. Dad used to be gone a lot ya know." He winked. "Wellllll, did you at least look in any other drawers?"
She shook her head no. "Well let's go scrubs, I call dad's side!" Jason practically ran up the stairs, Allison and Stevie couldn't help but follow. Jason carelessly rifled through his dads boring stuff until he read the cover of a small booklet "Not Your Mother's Coupon Book." Pictured on the front was a cartoon couple in a compromising position. Jason closed the drawer as quick as he opened it.
"Jase, what?" asked Stevie concerned. When he didn't answer she pushed him aside gently and opened the drawer for herself, Ally joining her. They both let out a gasp and exchanged shocked looks across the room. Stevie hesitantly picked up the booklet and opened to the front cover where she read aloud "To my sexy husband on Valentine's Day, Love Madam Sexytary." Jason fake vomited then quickly stated "Um guys? Valentine's Day was last week." With wide eyes flipping through the pages Stevie thumbed the plentiful amount of ripped out pages.
Ally shook her head sick to her stomach "Guys this is so messed up we need to stop."
"Ally's rig-" Stevie stopped confused "Jase what are you doing, we said no more looking"
Jason pulled out what all three were afraid to find… the missing, used, coupons. He found six and they gathered to read them for themselves. "Free blowjob", "risky office sex", "your choice of role play", "tie me up" and lastly "handjob while driving." Just as they all realized there were 6 days from Valentine's Day until now they heard the sound of the door closing and chatter downstairs. It was their parents, they were home early, quickly they raced to put everything back.
Henry began to remove his tie and follow his wife upstairs to change, just as he was about to ask where the kids were they walked into their bedroom surprised to see all three of their children standing in front of them.
"Hey guys?" Henry looked at Elizabeth skeptically.
"We… um… we were just looking for another charger!" Exclaimed Ally.
Squinty eyed Elizabeth questioned "All three of you. Looking for one charg-" she stopped knowing it wasn't worth the interrogation. Stepping aside from the door Henry allowed the three suspicious children out. "Hey Ally did you find a charger earlier?"
"Yea in your nightstand!" Ally replied and went downstairs without a thought about the fact that her mother might know exactly what that meant. "Henry. Henry!" Elizabeth shouted through the bathroom door. He opened it appearing with just a towel around his waist. Despite his very enticing appearance she knew there was a major problem. "What?" He said half annoyed at her potentially over dramatic urgency.
"The kids went through our nightstands looking for chargers!" Henry's face dropped. "Oh my gosh, do you think they-?"
"Did you see their faces?"
"Shit, now what. We have to say something right?" He asked
"We should just feel them out first." She replied trying to calm her panic
