A/N: I do not own the CSI characters, I am just borrowing them.
I just own Dan and Maureen Hodges and his brothers Terry and Steve and any sister-in laws I mention too.
This chapter takes place in San Diego where David is from. (or is it San Francisco? ) Apparently his brother Steve is getting his Doctorate and they're having a celebration.
David's entire family thought he was gay. (of course he's not he's just "happy") (Gay is another word for happy.. back in the day it was)
Chapter Seven
The room that David and Wendy would be sharing had twin beds with a night stand in the center with a lamp. It also had a telephone in the centre. Also it had two small dressers and a shared mirror on the back of the door. They were only staying the weekend so they didn't think it necessary to unpack. But after thinking about it, they figured unpack what little they had so their clothes wouldn't get winkled.
"I – uh am so sorry for mom's mess up" he said finally.
"Mess up?? Why and how did she think I was a guy?" Wendy demanded.
David through his hands up in the air. "I have no idea. I told her that you were a woman that I had been dating and that we were living together etc."
Wendy shook her head. "Who else thinks you're gay and that I'm a guy or transsexual?" she asked.
David didn't reply. Most likely his brothers thought so too.
"David don't tell me your brothers think so too" she said.
"Ok I won't tell you" he said.
"Not funny David not funny" she said angrily.
Fifteen minutes later Dan called up to them. "Dinner you guys"
David and Wendy went downstairs holding hands. At the dining room table were David's brother Steve and his wife Mary and his brother Terry and his wife Nancy. They both have two children but two of them were infants and were sleeping in their travel cribs and the other two were watching tv.
"Hi Dave, who's your friend" asked Mary.
'Everyone, this is Wendy, she's my girlfriend. We work together at the lab and have been living together for the past month."
David's brothers and sisters-in-law stared at him in shock. There were not so subtle whispers among each of them.
"That is just about enough!" David seethed. "I have had enough of your whispers, rude crude and sarcastic remarks. All you have ever done to me is make me feel worthless. Davey the nothing – takes forever to get his bachelors while Terry and Steve end up sailing through their Masters and achieve them the same year I achieve my Bachelors. And what does mom and dad chose to do?? Attend Terry and Steve's Bachelors Degree graduation and completely ignore me! I have freaking G.D. had it." David said and left the room. Wendy put her fork down and excused herself and joined him in the front foyer.
'David that took guts!" she said in a stage whisper.
"I know. But mind you, I'm gonna hear it for swearing while the kids are in earshot" David seethed.
Wendy rolled her eyes and nodded as she saw out of the corner of her eye, Dan get up and walk out to the front foyer.
"Wendy will you excuse us, I'd like to talk to David alone" he said.
Wendy nodded and returned to the dining room where the others were busily serving themselves their food and chatting about the upcoming celebration. No one said a word to Wendy when she returned.
"Pass the buns please" she asked Mary.
Mary ignored her and handed a bun to her husband.
"Mary could you please pass the buns" she repeated.
Mary still ignored her and handed the bun basket to Steve and Nancy.
Wendy shrugged and decided that making a scene wasn't worth a bun.
Wendy went to reach for the vegetables to serve herself when Mary snatched the serving spoon from her hand.
"That does it. What the G.D. is your problem" she said and slammed down her fork.
Mary looked at her. "What are you talking about?"
"You know damn well what I am talking about. I asked you politely twice for the buns and you blatantly ignored me and now I reach for the veggies to serve myself and you snatch the spoon from my hands, if that is not rude than I don't know what is!"
Mary stood up and glared at Wendy. "You are not welcome at this celebration Wendy. None of us wanted you there. David practically demanded a ticket for you, even though you don't deserve one. My mom had to give up her ticket for you! So no you may not have the buns or the veggies. In fact I speak on behalf of this entire family. GET LOST! Go back to Las Vegas!"
Wendy stood up and left the table. She went upstairs to the bedroom that she and Hodges were going to share for the weekend and first called an airline to book a ticket back home to Vegas. Then called a cab. She had three hours before her flight back to Vegas. She had no time to waste. She walked down the stairs her bag in hand.
"Where are you going?" David asked noticing her bag.
"I am clearly not wanted here David. I am going back home. My flight is in three hours. My cab is here. I will see you when you get home. Enjoy Steve's celebration." Wendy said and with that she was gone.
