Meeting the Family.
Duncan walks into the living room of a house with Gwen. "This is a nice house." Gwen says as they look around. Kevin and Niki walk out from the kitchen. "Thank you." Kevin says. "Glad you like it. It was one of the nicest houses I could rent." Nikki looks at Gwen and says "Can I talk to you in the kitchen?" "I guess you and I should find somewhere to talk amongst ourselves." Kevin says as he and Duncan walk into the garage of the house. They sit in lawn chairs next to a work bench. "So, you hear anything from Cipriotti?" "No, he's icing me out." "Or he's bunkered down because of an all out war. Any weirdness around your house?" No, quiet as ever." Duncan says with a shrug. "What do you think their talking about?" Duncan asks. "Probably the fact that their family is in town." "Wait, what?" "Yeah, Gwen and Nikki's parents are in town." "Shit." Kevin walks to the fridge and says. "I wouldn't be that concerned if I was you." He grabs a Guinness and says "Beer?" "No thanks but what's up with her parents?" "Meaning?" "What are they like? Didn't you meet them at your wedding?" "You mean her wedding?" "Yeah yeah, same difference but what are they like?" They are like any other parents man, hard on their daughters but loving. Want what's best for them but willing to let them live with their decision. Dad is a retired office worker, used to manage a finance office and people's stock portfolio. Mom is a stay at home wife. And also don't worry, you're not a good time Charlie like Jhonsey." "How do you…" "I'm married to Nikki, remember?" He says pointing to his platinum wedding band. "I also met him. Don't get me wrong,he's a good guy but a bit of a wanderer." "So when are they coming?" Duncan asks. They'll call you, well they'll call Gwen." Kevin's phone rings. "No. Alright." Kevin puts his phone down and opens the door leading back into the house. Kevin and Duncan walk into the den. Kevin turns on the T.V. "Breaking news. Bank of Liberty robbed in broad daylight." "Holy shit." Duncan says. "Yeah. Remember Pakie? That was his crew. He tried to bring me and you on this." Gwen and Nikki walk into the room. "Duncan." Gwen says "I have to ask you something." "Yeah go ahead." "So Nikki and my parents…" "We can meet them at my place. Kevin and Nikki have to come to." "Really?" Nikki says jokingly. Kevin walks over and squeezes her arm. "Kevy bear, I was playing around. They are my parents." "Everyone is in town so…" Nikki says "Yeah, they can all come to my place." Duncan says.
Two weeks later at Duncan's house in the dining room there are trays of cold cuts and cheese on the table. "This is something I always wanted. You know, family over. Cold cuts and entertaining." Duncan says. "That's how my family used to do it before people passed away." Kevin says as Mr.and Mrs. Wong walk into Duncan's house. Duncan walks over to the front door and greets them. "Mr. Mrs. Wong. Nice to see you! Can I take your coats?" After a tour of the house the songs join Kevin, Gwen and Nikki in the dining room. "This is a lovely home you have." "Gwen keeps it nice." Duncan says. Kevin shoots Duncan a scowl. Gwen says. "Well you are working on it." Mr. Wong says "So what do you do for a living?" "I'm uhh…" "C'mon man your a limo driver and mechanic when the need help. That's ho we met. You picked us up from the airport." Kevin says.
Later that day after The wings have left Nikki says"Great lie. My parents don't usually buy them." "Yeah, they had you for a daughter." Niki slaps Kevin and says "Your lucky I love you.
Author's note; Sorry this took so long. I'm not great at writing family type stories. You always walk that line between poinyent and cheesey.
