Chapter 12

Christmas break - Boise

18th December, we are officially on Christmas break and I am being swung round in Samuels arms, we have survived the first three months as a couple, living together and juggling school with a house and a relationship, I don't think we have had a real fight.

Daddy is sending the plane up so we can all go to Boise for the first part of our Christmas break and I will be giving Samuel his present, somehow I have to persuade Mom Rose and Dad Ted to let us sleep together that night or Samuel has to persuade his parents, the best would be if we could have Daddy house, just the two of us, alone, and my breath catches with the thought of that.

We are all giddy at the prospect of getting home and catching up with everyone and everything, we board the plane and once at cruising altitude Stephen inform us we can freely move around the cabin I open the fridge and Daddy has left a bottle of champagne in there with a note 'Merry Christmas, see you soon, Love Daddy, I love my daddy, I decide as I am too young to buy alcohol at the moment, I will keep it for Samuel's birthday on the 23rd and hope I can arrange it so we can be together all night.

It's not long before we are landing, and Samuel's parents as well as Mom Rose and Dad Ted are waiting for us all, unfortunately neither Monica nor Arthur's parents were able to be at the airport to meet them. I can see Samuel's mom is dying for it to be just the three of them, but I will be stealing a kiss before she takes him away.

I walk over and shaking their hands say "nice to see you again Mrs Johnson, Mr. Johnson, if you can let my parents or myself know when it will be convenient for me to call, thank you, can I have a quick word over here before you go, please Samuel" he follows me and whispers in my ear "what can I do for you Mrs Johnson to be" I giggle and say "Kiss me"

Samuel - "Christ baby you really are trying to get me killed"

Asia -"NO, I just need a little kiss before you go"

Samuel - "OK come round here behind the cars" and he takes my hand leading me to a quiet spot before crushing me in his arms saying "Baby I love you, I'll call you while your undressing for bed" and then he tilts my face to meet his and kisses me before saying "night baby" and he goes to join his parents, they are also taking Arthur with them and I go to get in the car with Rose, Ted and Monica. Monica and I are giggling away in the back of the car and Dad Ted chirps up "this takes me back, you two have been giggling away about something or other in the back of a car since you were about five years old"

Monica and I are actually making arrangement to go pick the boy's Christmas presents up in the morning, yes she has the P. receipt and the post office is open at 8am so we can go as early as we like, can we use my car as she thinks her dad sold hers, as she wouldn't be needing it, I think that awful, neither of my dad's would do something like that to me, but I don't say anything, she is hurting, so why make it worse, and before we know it we are 'home' Home for me now is wherever Samuel is.

8 am and there is a knock at the door it's Monica "I hope you don't mind me been so early Mrs Summers, "no, of course not sweetheart, would you like some breakfast?" mom asks, mom has always taken Monica under her wing and cared for her like she was one of hers "Oh lovely Mrs Summers" Monica replies

We go through to the breakfast room giggling away, she had phone sex with Arthur last night, I just wish I had spent the night in Samuels arms, I would give anything to be in them now, "OH A-sh cheer up, you'll be riding him soon enough" I just look at her disgusted, that makes it sound like it wouldn't matter who it was, and for me it does matter, I will only ever want Samuel like that.

I get my car out of the garage, god I love this car, is it slutty to be turned on by a car? I think to myself, and I wish Samuel was here, I quickly send him a text 'morning handsome, can I come over later? Love you' I would have loved to have signed off with 'your sex kitten' but what if someone other than Samuel saw it, I would be mortified.

We arrive at the post office and get the key for the box, thank god they are well wrapped, I say "lets go over to Daddy's house in the garden I have keys and we can open, and store them there"

I open mine with slight trepidation, millions of what ifs are running through my head but no I love it, it's sexy, classy, erotic and best of all no-one but me would know it was me, well if Samuel has being paying attention he will know.

I start the ball rolling in order to put my plans for Samuels birthday in action, I ring mom "Hi mom"

Ana - "Hi Angel"

Asia – "mom you know its Samuel's birthday the 23rd?"

Ana – "yes Sweetie, Rose has his present from your father and I"

Asia – "canwespendthenighttogetherinthehoushereonhisbirth day"

Ana – "what sweetheart, slow down"

Asia – "you know we sleep together? Right"

Ana – "yes I know"

Asia – "can you persuade Rose, Ted and Daddy to let us spend the night alone in the house here for his birthday"

Ana – "Oh angel, I don't know, is it really important for that particular night does it have to be his birthday, can you not do something between Christmas and New Year, I'll get daddy to stay in town with me one night"

Asia – "Mom how would you like it if Daddy celebrated your birthday a week late?"

Ana – "OK Sweetheart, I'm not promising, but I will at least talk to them all for you, mind I do think if you're old enough and mature enough to be in a sexual relationship you should be old enough and mature enough to own that relationship, and that includes letting people know you want some special time together"

Asia – "OK mom, can you talk to dad and I'll talk to Rose and Ted, but I know they won't say yes unless dad does too"

Ana – "OK angel" and after a few more minuets of giggles and chatter we hang up and I go to find Rose

~0~

Asia - "mom"

Rose - "yes darling"

Asia – "you know its Samuel's birthday on the 23rd"

Rose – "yes darling, I have his present from your mom and daddy as well as from Ted and I"

Asia – "if Daddy say's we can spend the night together in the house in the garden will you and Dad Ted agree?"

Rose - "Oh baby girl, we don't condone sex before marriage, I thought you knew that?"

Asia – "I do know, I guess, I do really, just Samuel and I don't really want to get married till we both graduate"

Rose – "I don't know baby, we never would have allowed Teddy or Anya and you are our responsibility, as much as your birth parents both love and support you, you are our baby and I really don't know, let me talk to Ted tonight"

Asia – "OK, love you mom whatever you decide"

Rose – "Love you too baby girl, but you really should not have let him share your house never mind anything else till he married you"

Asia – "I don't want to get married yet mom"

Rose – "well maybe you should think about how serious you are about him, before dropping you panties the next time"

I just stare at her and feel the tears start to form before I excuse myself and run to my room throwing myself on my bed.

As my thoughts wander, running round and round in ever decreasing circles, I love him but I don't want to be like Rose, or even worse his mother who's only topic of conversation is 'what Samuel did' I want to be like Aunt Kate, it's obvious she adores Uncle Elliot, and Ava couldn't have a better mother, unless she had mine, Ana, but Aunt Kate runs Kavanagh Media too, and that's who I want to be, a woman totally in love with her husband, and a fantastic mother as well as being fulfilled in her career and having something of interest to say, apart from what time of the day the baby last pooped.

And not for the first time I think, only I could have four parents, I don't want to give Samuel his present in Seattle, my parent's there would kill us both if they saw it, my parents here are really uncomfortable with the fact we are in a committed relationship and live together, sharing a bed and are not planning to get married for at least seven years, would they be happy if we just got married tomorrow and neither of us finished our education.

I know that's not fair, but that's how it feels, everything would be ok if we got married, beggar the rest of out lives, it's not as if they even have to worry about 'what the neighbours would think' if ever the unthinkable did happen we would get married as soon as we could after we found out.

It's not like he would ever abandon me pregnant, I know I am his everything, his life, not that I will be pregnant this side of 2040 at the soonest, we are so careful I am on the pill which I take rigorously every day and we use spermicide and condoms at the risky part of my cycle or if I have been ill.

I know exactly who to talk this through with, I pick my phone up and find her number.
