"Mum, Dad!" Susie rushed across the room into her parents arms.
"Susie! Honey it's great to see you." They hugged her tightly.
"It's so great to see you too." Susie replied.
"So how are you?"
"I'm great. How are you guys doing?"
"We're fine thanks."
"Mum, Dad there's someone I'd like you to meet." She turned and ushered Jonesy over. He slowly walked over and Susie put her arm around him.
"Guys this is my fiancé Evan Jones." Susie said. "Jonesy this is my Mum, Ellen and this is my dad Aaron." Susie introduced them.
"It's a pleasure meeting you." Jonesy said politely.
"Oh the pleasure is all ours darling. Susie's told us so much about you. We're just glad we finally get to see what's so special about you."
"Mum." Susie blushed a little. "Stop it."
"Oh come now. We want to know all about you. Starting with how you two met…" Ellen put her arm around Jonesy and pulled him away from Susie.
"But first you've got to meet the rest of the family."
"Susie…" Jonesy stared at her.
She shrugged and laughed, then followed after them with her Dad.
"And this is my Uncle Erwin." Ellen said with a smile as she introduced Jonesy to an old man.
"Uncle Erwin…this is Susie's fiancé."
"Ah…nice to meet you chap. Young Susie has told us a lot about you."
"So I've heard." Jonesy mumbled.
"What was that?" Uncle Erwin asked.
"Oh nothing." Jonesy replied. He looked over at Susie who was standing with some more people from her family.
"Help me." He mouthed.
"I'm sorry." She mouthed back.
"Excuse me for a minute." Susie smiled politely and she walked over to Jonesy. "Uncle Erwin Hi." Susie smiled.
"Why hello there young Susie. I was just telling Evan here about the time I almost ran over your mother with the car."
"Oh how…fascinating." Susie smiled. "Mind if I borrow my fiancé for a moment?"
"Not at all dear. You two run along and have some fun there."
"Bye." Susie smiled and dragged Jonesy away.
"OMG! I am so sorry." Susie bit her lip. "I had no idea they were all going to be here. I thought it was just my parents and by brothers and…"
"It's okay Susie." Jonesy laughed. "I was going to have to meet them at some point anyway."
"I know. But we're supposed to be on holidays and…"
"Shh. It's alright. Your great Uncle Erwin seems kind of funny anyway. And your aunty Heather…she's really nosy, but she's still entertaining." Jonesy laughed. "She wanted to know what I was like in bed."
"Oh god!' Susie covered her face with her hands, blushing heavily.
"It's alright. They are much more entertaining than my family." Jonesy laughed. He pulled Susie hands away from her face and kissed her softly. "And if they are anything like you…then I know I'm going to love getting to know them a lot better."
"Once again I am SOOO sorry." Susie said to him.
"Relax. Everything is going to be fine. I can't wait until Christmas Day. Your mother made it sound like a great feast."
"Yeah. Well with all the people that are here we're going to need a feast. I can't believe my brother didn't warn me that the whole family was going to be here. Ugh. I'm sick of them already."
"It's alright. We'll get through this. Now…how about we head back up to our room and test out that spa a little more…" Jonesy winked.
"Sounds like a plan to me…" Susie grabbed his hand and they started walking off.
"There you two are!" Susie stopped when she heard her mother's voice.
"Shit!" She mumbled. "Muuummmm…" Susie turned around.
"Where are you two going?" Ellen asked.
"Nowhere." Susie sighed.
"Great. Because your Uncle Mark and your cousins have just arrived."
"Oh great."
"They are so looking forward to meeting Evan."
"Great." Susie sighed.
"Hey. It's alright. We've got plenty of time to use the spa." Jonesy sighed and the two of them followed Ellen back into the ball room.
"Man I am so glad that is over with…I hate my family." Susie sighed and collapsed on the bed.
"Come one they aren't that bad."
"Are you kidding? I swear I was adopted. I am nothing like them at all…"
"Well actually you are." Jonesy laughed.
"What? No I'm not! There is no way I would ask my nieces and nephews if they were good in bed…and I almost died when my cousin accidentally spilled her drink all over you."
"Hey if she didn't do that, we would never have gotten out of there."
"Yeah I suppose…hey I thought you liked my family?"
"I do. But if we didn't get out of there you were going to burst." Jonesy laughed. "Seriously they aren't that bad." Jonesy smiled and lay down beside Susie on the bed.
"You know I really don't feel like doing anything but going to sleep at the moment."
"Me either." Jonesy replied.
"Once again I apologise on behalf of my family…"
"There's no need for that." Jonesy said. "Your family is great. They love you."
"I know that…they are just so tiring though…" Susie sighed.
"Well we've got the whole day tomorrow to sleep if you want to."
"No such luck. Mum's making me get up early so I can take my niece skiing."
"Your mum told me you used to ski a lot. Apparently you're quite the snowboarder. You didn't tell me that…"
"Well there are a lot of things I didn't tell you about me."
"Like what?"
"Like…I don't know…stuff."
"Hey after spending the day with your family. I bet I know all there is to know about you."
"Like what?"
"Like…when you were 6 years old you still wet the bed." Jonesy teased.
"Oh god!" Susie covered her face with her hands again. "Please don't tell me my cousin told you about that?"
"Well actually it was your uncle Jimmy. He told me you were a bed wetter right up until you were 9."
"Oh god…" Susie cried. "What else did they tell you?"
"Well your cousin Alice told me you used to have a nickname…"
"Oh god…no…no…don't you dare…" Susie sat up quickly. "Please no…"
"Alright…I'll just pretend I didn't hear it…"
"Oh I'm going to KILL her." Susie growled.
"Settle petal." Jonesy laughed. "Come on. I need to have a shower and wash all this alcohol off. Care to join me."
"I guess I can do that." Susie smirked.
"Alright." Jonesy winked at her. He picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.
Well that's it for now. hope you guys like it. Natty this one was for you... : D
