I don't own anything!
Kelso's Forman
Chapter 7, dinner with the Formans
Kelso's POV
I sat in the kitchen with my parents, I had just told them that Eric and I were engaged and I'd be moving to Africa with him. My dad was on his second beer, and my mom was on her second pack of cigarettes. I sat there staring at both of them, waiting for them to talk; the silence was stronger then the smoke in the room.
"Michael," my mom said breaking the silence. "What are you going to do abut college?"
"I'll go when I come back in a year," I said.
"How is it possible for you and Eric to be engaged?" My father asked. "You're both men. Men can't marry each other."
"Eric and I know that, but we also have hope the one day we will be able to get married."
"How do the Formans feel about this?" My mom asked.
"They don't know yet, but Eric and I are going to tell them tonight." I said as my mom took out another cigarette, but my dad stopped her.
"Demi don't you think you should stop smoking?"
"Damn Bruce, my son's going off to a third world country. He's also engaged to another man. And you won't let me smoke, why don't you stop drinking." She then stormed out of the room.
"That was unpleasant," my dad said.
"Dad why's mom always over reacting?" I asked.
"I don't know son."
My parents were always fighting, that was one reason I was glad I was going with Eric. The other reason was that, I trust Eric and know he wouldn't cheat, but I don't want any hot guys hitting on my little string been. We haven't told the Formans or the group about our engagement or our plan to move to Africa for a year. We'll tell them tonight.
"Dad what do you think about this?"
"Whatever you want to do son is fine with me."
"Thanks dad," I said getting up to leave. "Oh one more thing, can you talk to mom for me?"
"Sure."
"Thanks." I said then left the house.
I arrived at Eric's house fifteen minutes later, it usually takes me ten but I stopped for wine and something for Eric. I walked into the kitchen to find Kitty preparing dinner.
"Hi Mrs. Forman," I said walking into the room.
Kitty looked up and when she saw me, and smiled. "Hi Michael, how are you today?"
"I'm good, here this is for you," I said handing her the bottle of wine. She took the bottle and set in on the counter.
"Thank you, Eric's in the basement. And dinner will be ready in ten minutes."
"Thank you," I said as I walked down to the basement.
When I walked into the basement, I found, everyone there. Jackie and Hyde were sitting on Hyde's chair, Fez was sitting on his lawn chair, and Eric was sitting on the couch; I sat next to him.
"Hey babe," I said handing Eric a box.
Eric opened the box and smiled, "oh thank you." He said leaning in to kiss me.
"What is it?" Fez asked.
"A box of candy," Eric answered.
"Oh can I have some?"
"No Fez," he said with a grin. "The last time I shared candy with you, you ate it all."
"Hey Fez how are you doing? You know since Laurie moved to Canada." I asked looking over at my friend.
"It's been two months man. I'm hanging in there. I just need to be on my own for now. I might meet someone when I go to NYU next fall."
Laurie got tired of living in Point Place, and dating Fez. So she moved to Canada shortly after Eric and I got back together. Fez was once again heartbroken by yet another girl, and said he was giving up girls. I felt bad for the little dude, and hoped he would be ok.
"Well I took a test so I can graduate with you guys, and Steven and I are moving to Madison," Jackie said. "And we're both going to college at WU," she added.
"Yeah she's going to get enough of an education for the both of us, and I'm going to sleep all day'. Hyde said.
We all laughed knowing that it could happen. I felt a little sat knowing that in June Eric and I would be leaving for a year. So we had two months to spend with our friends, we should make the best of it.
"Kids Dinner's ready," I heard Mrs. Forman shout from the top of the stairs. We all got up and left the basement.
