Grampa Max! And he had a camera!

"So Gwen, how was your cleaning spree," max asked?

"Uhmmm, I...I...I don't know how to respond," Gwen said back, but with a shiver in her voice.

"And Ben, how was your first kiss," max asked eagerly?

"It...it was nice, lovely," Ben confirmed. Then they herd a click, and out popped a photo.

"Gonna put that in our photo album," Ben asked. There was a sure cockiness in his voice.

"Photo album?" max asked.

"ya this one." Gwen picked the almost forgotten book off the floor.

"Darn, they found it," max thought to himself. "Well there is something you both need to know, but I... I can't tell you. OK listen," max began very calmly,"We are going to a family reunion tomorrow, I'll have your parents tell you the news, after you show them this," as he gave them the picture.

"But, Were in Texas," the cousins said in unison,"Our family lives in Ohio, How are our parents going to come to Texas?"

"Do you guys remember your old uncle Boris?" Max asked gingerly.

At this point in time the cousins minds were back on what their parents would say. Two cousins, in love with each other. There is something wrong here, their grandpa found them kissing and took a picture. He now expects these two to fess up to their parents, who don't do anything special.

"Are you two listening to me?" Grandpa asked the dazing cousins.

"Uhm, ya," Ben said. His mind still set upon the photo album and his lovely cousin.

THE NEXT DAY...

Grandpa Max woke up around 5:30a and remembered the reunion. He also remembered that he hadn't showered the day before so he incredibly stinky. He got up out of the drivers seat ever so slowly, then started back for the bathroom. As he passed the bunks he noticed that Ben nor Gwen was there.

"Ben, Gwen," Max sleepily called as he slowly turned to see the couch,"Awww, how cute, the two cousins fell asleep in each others arms. Of coarse the very sleepy grandfather wasn't going to wake them, especially since they both were mad at him for catching them in the act. So he lazily went into the shower.

Ben hearing the shower start abruptly woke up, not remembering that his sleeping cousin was atop of him. He slowly was trying to remember was had happened the night before. "Photo album...Kissing...Chores..Grandpa catching us...reunion...parents... Oh shit the family reunion was today and he and Gwen had to fess up to their parents," it all came out of his mouth so fast his mind didn't register what he had just said. Gwen slowly started to whimper. It registered in Ben's mind as a bad dream. He slowly started to shimmy up, not remembering that Gwen's hands were around his neck and his around her waist.

"Love ya," Gwen very lovingly and softly said, as if trying to be romantic and keep it a secret at the same time.

"Grandpa knows about... well.. us," Ben said still not moving because he loved this moment. There bodies touching, with hers atop of his. She slowly started to roll over so her stomach was met with his."Love you too,"Ben said trying to break the second of silence."

At this point Grandpa was at the rear end of his shower. He always went from the top of his head to the tip of his feet when washing. He was humming some old song he knew. Then hoping that the kids were still asleep he started to sing...

"All my loving,

I will send to you,

all my loving,

darling I will be true,"

now there was no sung part here so he decided to play the air guitar. His solo now being over he sung the Verses over again,

"Ill pretend I am kissing,

those lips I am missing,

in hope that my dreams will come true,

and then while I'm away,

ill write home every day,

and ill send all my loving, to you..."

"Oh god," Ben started,"Grandpa is singing again," he said with a giggle.

"Oh but I love this song,"Gwen started to say, knowing that Ben would fall for her trick,"It reminds me of us."

"Oh really," Ben was questioning.

"Oh yes," Gwen started saying, teasing Ben,"wont you sing it for me?"

"anything for my darling," Ben said. Both he and she knew that he didn't know the words, so he decided to sing another song that he knew would really touch Gwen's heart.

"Oh Ben, how sweet," Gwen said and kissed him on the cheek.

"well we better be getting ready for the reunion," Ben decided to blurt.

"Oh ya,"Gwen started to remember the past events.

LATER THAT DAY...

All of them were there at the reunion except Ben and Gwen's parents.

"Grandpa? Were are our parents," The cousins asked in unison.

"Why I don't know," max said. Unfortunately he did know. Secretly the parents were drafted into the plumber business. He hoped that they didn't have to go on a secret business trip, "Lets...Go." He hoped that the parents weren't killed, seeing as they were new recruits.

"Can we stay here for a little longer," Gwen asked thinking of the mall and not Ben.

"Sure...Be back in a couple of hours," Grandpa said, and went into the RV to catch up on some sleep.

"Oh, So now we have some time together," Ben said with a certain look in his eye that Gwen loved.

"Ya, but its like 10a and we didn't eat breakfast," Gwen said with a growl in her stomach.

"OK theres a McDonald's right there," Ben said pointing to his right.

At this point in time the parents were driving cross country to try to get to the reunion.

"Max?" Bens mom asked.

"Brenda?"

"Listen Max I'm sorry that we missed the reunion, I know it was on this day that we were to tell them the secret." and then the phone went out.
