Family Visit P1

Joe walked into the bedroom of the hotel room he was sharing with his friends.

"I have to talk to you both about something" he said seriously.

Colby, who was doing push ups, stopped and sat back to look at his friend.

"You ok man?" he asked.

"Yeah, I just got off the phone with my mom and she...she's..." he stuttered.

"She what?" Jon asked from his place on his bed.

"Ohh...please don't be mad" Joe muttered to himself before walking closer to them.

"She's asked me to go and stay at her and my father's house for a few days this week" he told them.

Both men were silent as they stared at him.

"That's it?" Colby asked confused.

"No..." Joe said scratching the back of his head.

"She wants you guys to come too" he told them quietly.

"Really?" Colby asked him.

Jon just looked at his friend.

"I need to call her back and tell her what your decisions are" he told them.

"I'm in" Colby told him resuming his push ups.

Joe looked over to Jon.

"Sure" was the man's quiet reply.

Joe smiled happily as he went to call his mom back to tell her all three of them were going to stay.

The three boys were sat in their car, on their way to stay at the Anoa'i house for a couple of days.

Jon was sat in the back for a change and he was making a complete nuisance of himself.

"Can I swear in front of them?" he asked.

"I'd prefer it if you didn't. And you don't swear much anyway so it should be easy enough for you to do" Joe told him.

Jon huffed from his seat and began to roll his window down, only to roll it back up again.

"Would you stop that? God, you're acting like a two year old" Colby said from the front seat.

"Are you ok man? You seem on edge and you're more...Jon, then usual" Joe asked him.

"Why do they want to meet us anyway?" Jon replied, ignoring the previously asked question.

"Because you're living with their son" he told him "and they want to finally meet the guy's I'm always talking to them about" Joe said looking at him in the rear view mirror.

"Look, what is so bad about going to meet my parent's man? They're not going to eat you alive or anything" Joe told him.

Jon just huffed and looked out of the car window. Joe frowned as he looked at his friend.

"Why are you so against meeting my family man? You're coming across as being kinda dickish" Joe told him honestly.

"And don't lie" he added knowing Jon would say anything other than the truth.

"I...I...don't do family stuff ok. Growing up I never had a family or loving parents and being around parental units and family shit freaks me out. I'm totally out of my element here man" he told him honestly.

Joe felt a pang of guilt shoot straight to his heart as did Colby who sent Jon a sincere sad smile.

"Shit, I'm sorry man; I didn't even think about that when I asked you to come. If I'd of known you'd feel like this then I would have told my parents you couldn't come" he sighed.

It was Jon's turn to feel guilty.

Here was his best friend whose parents had asked to meet him and their other best friend and he was letting his past experiences scare him into acting like an asshole.

"I'm sorry" was Jon's simple reply.

"I'll still come, I need to get used to it sometime right?" he asked giving his friend a small smile.

Joe smiled back and nodded.

"Honestly, my folks are really nice. My mom is a hugger and she will swamp you both with plenty of affection. My dad, he's really down to earth" he told them both.

"I'm not going to lie to you man, I'm going to struggle. Hugs and affection...towards me...I just feel weird about it" Jon told Joe.

Joe nodded "I understand that. Just, try not to keep living in the past...I know, I know it's hard but you've got a new family now. And you know me and Colby would never do anything to hurt you right?" he asked him.

Jon nodded instantly. He did know that Joe and Colby wouldn't hurt him but they were them; Kindred spirits in a world of hurt and pain, these were new people.

After a couple of hours driving, the men stopped at a gas station to fill the car and get something to eat.

Jon and Colby headed inside the store to get some snacks for the drive.

"Hey man, you ok" Colby asked when he noticed how quiet Jon was being.

"I'm fine" he replied.

"You're over thinking this situation to death man. It's Joe's mom and dad. Look how he turned out...they can't be bad if they raised a son like Joe" Colby told him trying to ease his worry.

That made sense to Jon and he instantly visibly relaxed.

"You're right. That makes sense" Jon said nodding.

"Thanks dipshit...you're useful after all" Jon said ruffling Colby's hair.

"Fuck you dude" Colby replied as he shoved the older man away with a laugh.

Joe was filling the car when his phone vibrated in his pocket with a text.

Dad: How long are you going to be? Your mother wants to know when to put on dinner?

Joe text his father back telling him that they were about two hours out and that dinner would be great.

His friends met him back at the car a little while later a few bags in hand.

"What did you buy, the entire store? My mom's doing dinner" he told them putting the pump back.

"Are you even saying those words? This is me you're talking to...the man you bet fifty dollars couldn't eat two fifteen inch pizzas in one night. And what happened?" Jon asked goading his friend.

"You proved me wrong" Joe mumbled.

"Exaaactly; I'm hungry and I'm gonna eat. By the time we get to your parent's place, I'll be hungry again. You know how I work" Jon said smirking,

"Just shut up and get in the damn car smartass" Joe said chuckling along with Colby.

Two and a half hours later found the men parked outside of Joe's parent's house.

The men got out of the car and went to get their cases out of the trunk.

Jon took a deep breath as he readied himself for the interaction.

They walked up to the front door and it swung open and revealed a small smiling women standing there.

"Oh my baby" Patricia said as she wrapped Joe into a hug.

"Hi mama" he said hugging her back.

Colby and Jon stood in the door way, a smirk on their faces at this little scene playing out in front of them.

When Patricia let go of Joe he walked inside and turned to look at his friends.

"Come on in boys, I won't bite" Patricia said with a chuckle.

They both walked inside and barley had a chance to put their suitcases down before they were wrapped into a hug from Joe's mother.

"It's so nice to finally meet you both" she said giving them a squeeze.

Colby chuckled and his hand came to rest on her back to return the hug.

Jon, who was completely overwhelmed, stood as stiff as a board and Joe could see the look of contempt on his face.

"So mom, what's for dinner?" he asked getting her attention.

She released both men after giving them another squeeze and turned to look at her son.

"Grilled garlic and herb chicken with steamed vegetables and rice" she told him.

She turned to look at her son's friends "are you ok with that boys? If not I can whip you up something else" she told them.

"No that's fine" they both said in unison.

"Aw, they're so cute" she told her son giving them a pinch on their cheeks.

Colby chuckled while Jon just stood there, a look of deep thought etching his features.

When Patricia finally let them go, she walked into the kitchen to continue preparing dinner.

"You're thinking too much man" Joe said tapping Jon's temple "just relax" he said patting his shoulder.

"Your mom is a sweetheart" Colby said smiling.

Joe chuckled and led them through to the kitchen to where his mother was cutting up vegetables dinner.

"Oh boys, I forgot to ask, do you want a drink?" she turned and asked them.

"I'll get it mama" Joe said walking over to the fridge.

"Want a soda?" he asked his friends. They both nodded and he handed them a can of diet soda each.

Just then, they all heard the front door open and close.

"Patricia, I'm home" Joe heard his father call out.

"In here" she called back.

Sika walked into the kitchen carrying a new bag of coal for the grill outside.

He spotted his son standing in the middle of the kitchen.

"Oh my boy" he said walking over to his son and embracing him.

"Hi papa" Joe said returning the hug.

"You look good" his father said holding his son at arm's length.

"Colby's been making us go to CrossFit with him once a week. Its finally starting to show" Joe said smiling.

At that point, Sika turned around and saw the other two men standing in the kitchen.

He walked over to them.

"It's nice to finally meet you both" he said shaking their hands.

"Nice to meet you too sir" they both said.

"Oh please, my father is Sir, call me Sika" he said with a warm smile which both men returned.

Half an hour later, they were all standing in the garden while Joe's father started up the barbeque.

The three men sat at a small garden table talking amongst themselves when Patricia walked over to them and took a seat.

"So, is Joe a good boy when he's on the road?" Patricia asked his friends.

"Define good boy" Colby said smiling which made Patricia laugh.

"He's polite to everyone?" she asked.

"He is" both men said and nodded.

"And he treats you well?" she asked.

"He's our best friend" they told her honestly.

Patricia turned to look at her son and smiled at him.

"Joe has told me a lot about you both. Every time we talk he mentions you both" she smiled making Joe look down in embarrassment.

"Joe, come help your father" Sika called out to his son.

Joe stood up and excused himself from the table leaving his friends with his mother.

"Now that were alone, I wanted to thank you both" Patricia said to Colby and Jon.

"Thank us for what?" Colby asked.

"For looking after my boy; I can't be there and he said that when he feels like giving up, you both help him and keep him going. He said that you're like bothers to him" she added.

Both men smiled.

"He's a good guy" Jon told her.

"That's good to know. Lets me know I did a good job raising him" she smiled before standing up and walking over to her husband and son.

Jon released a breath.

Colby looked at him.

"Relax dude. It wasn't that bad was it?" he asked with a chuckle.

"No, it wasn't. Still not used to it though" Jon told him honestly.

"Just try and have fun. Think of it as a little holiday" Colby told him.

Jon and Colby were deep in a conversation about which actor played Batman best when Joe and his parents walked over to the table and began placing bowels and plates of food down onto it.

Joe handed his friends a plate and they all began serving up their food.

Joe nodded toward Colby's head and the man took his hat off and placed it on the back of his chair.

"Oh my goodness" Patricia said aloud.

"That's very colourful" she said pointing to Colby's hair.

Colby gave a nervous smile. "I thought it would add some character" he told her.

"It's definitely noticeable. Set's you apart from others" she said with a reassuring smile.

She glanced over to Jon "and you have very pretty eyes young man" she told him.

Jon thanked her and looked down at his hands. He wasn't used to compliments.

"They're both so nervously cute" she told her son. Joe smiled and chuckled at his friends.

After eating dinner, the boys were in the kitchen doing the washing and drying up.

"I prepared the guest room for you boys" Sika said walking into the kitchen.

"Joe, you'll have your old room. Boy's, I'm afraid that we only have a double bed in the guest room but Joe reassured me that you won't mind sharing" he told them.

They both glanced at their friend then looked back to his father. "That's fine" they both said with a smile.

When Sika left the room, they both looked to Joe.

"Seriously? I have to spend the next few days sharing a bed with him" Jon said pointing to Colby.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean" Colby asked offended.

"I HATE sharing a bed with you. You talk in your sleep, your stupid hair keeps tickling me and you..." he stopped himself.

"I what?" Colby asked.

"You're a...hugger...ok. You always latch on in your sleep and it's uncomfortable" Jon told him.

"Hey, I don't go around hugging just anyone. You should count yourself lucky that I give you those awesome hugs. Do you know how many people wouldn't mind getting some Colby love?" he asked smirking when he saw Jon visibly cringe.

"Screw you man" Jon said but Colby just laughed as he walked towards his friend wrapping his arms around him in a strong embrace.

"Get off me dude" Jon said trying to wriggle free.

Joe laughed at his friends as he put the clean plates back in the cupboard.

"Alright love birds, let's head up to bed" he told them ducking as Jon threw his tea towel at his head.

Once they'd individually showered, Colby and Jon get ready for bed.

Joe walked into their room and sat on the end of the bed.

"You gonna be ok in here?" he asked.

"Yes mother" both men answered him with a smirk.

"Screw you guys" he said before walking into his room and getting into bed.

Jon and Colby got into the double bed and both lay looking up at the ceiling.

Colby turned the light off and rolled onto his side to get comfortable.

"If you hug me while I'm sleeping again, I'm going to bite your hand" Jon told his friend.

Colby laughed and mumbled "I'll try not to" before he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, a smile on his face.

Review people :)
