Chapter 10: Awkward
Mac and Lauren had decided to have a lunch date later on this week. Maybe it could become a weekly, well atleast monthly ritual. A sisters lunch just to talk about life.
Dick watched Mac. "so whatcha thinking?"
"Lauren and my lunch date. I'm glad she knows. I'm glad you know."
"I get why you kept it to yourself. Your secret is safe with me. You can trust me."
"Speaking of trust. My family's annual camping trip is coming up. The family wants to meet the other Cassablancas boy that their daughter spending so much time with. So wanna go camping?"
"Won't that be awkward?"
"Whats awkward about camping with my family?"
"Didn't you just tell me and Lauren that theres been distance between you and your family since you found out about the switch. Plus your parents already met the perfect Cassablancas son. I'm the screw up son."
"considering what all Cassidy did, I think he gets the screw up son title. And my family wants to meet you so they can come up with their own opinion about you. You're a part of my life they don't know. So they think a camping trip is the perfect opportunity to meet my boyfriend."
"I'm a surfer and all but define camping."
"No 4 star hotels. We travel to the site wherever we go (parents don't tell us location until halfway there) in a rv."
"Rv, what like the movie?"
"think smaller. And my dad although he thinks he is, isn't as funny as Robin Williams. Anyways when we get to the site we pitch tents to sleep in."
"so no sharing a sleeping bag with my girlfriend. Check. Anything else?"
"we find some activity to do. Hiking, swimming. Our motto is be prepared."
"never pictured you as a boyscout."
"I bring my computer also so you'll have some form of entertainment."
"so you'll do my packing? Because I have no idea what to bring on this adventure to parts unknown."
"Have you been reading again?"
"yes. So you'll pack for me?"
"I'll help you pack. Deal or no deal on you camping with the family?"
"Deal. So when is this adventure?"
"this Friday."
"Didn't have the courage to ask me sooner?"
"Yep, waited to the last minute so you couldn't say no."
"What if I resisted your charms?"
"you resisting my charms! Never!" With that said Mac kissed Dick and took his breath away.
