What Do You Do In This Situation? Part II

Alyssa's POV

From the moment she arrived in her parent's home, the air itself was charged with this sort of awkwardness that made Alyssa want to choke on her own laughter. Yes, the kid was quite cute and she could read boys well enough to know that the kid couldn't stop stealing glances at her mother. She found it amusing beyond all comprehension that everyone in that room was quite aware of Grant's thoughts and Grant seemed to be unaware that everyone knew what he was thinking. Alyssa was quite sure that her mother was a masochist to put the boy through this, but Alyssa also had to admit that she was too.

The whole family was now gathered in the living room. DJ sat on one side of Grant and per her mother's subtle movement, she and her were squeezed on the other side of the boy. She noticed that her father was struggling to contain his laughter and he was trying, and succeeding in covering up the reason by adjusting Liza next to him and patting her head. Taking matters into her own hands, she turned horizontally and laid her head in her mothers lap and thus some of her long hair ended up in Grant's lap. Alyssa began to chuckle as she felt her mother's body almost tense and a slight chuckling noise come from her, "Are we getting a little affectionate there Alyssa? I don't think you've ever laid your head in my lap before?"

"Well I'm just getting cozy," Alyssa played along and stretched slightly, her hands and arms ending up on Grant's knees, "You know how it is mama."

That's when it got really hard not to laugh, and Rose distracted herself by running her hands through her daughter's hair and purposely causing it to go further in the boys lap. She looked up and managed to see DJ biting his lower lip and turning his head so that his friend could not see his laughter. A thought occurred to Alyssa, why was her family this demented? They'd play with the kid and his misplaced lust for a woman who could easily be his mother. Yes, she thought with a bit of a smile before turning to the TV and watching the movie that the whole family was pretending to be interested in.

It was in that moment that the door bell rang, she felt her mother tap her shoulder, "Get up babe, I'll get the pizza."

Nodding, Alyssa raised herself up and she had her eyes focused on her mother long enough to see the woman who gave birth to her grasp the thigh of the boy and pull herself up from the couch. When she stood up, she turned to Grant and offered him a coy smile, "Sorry about that Grant, I'm an old woman."

Rose flipped her hair over she shoulder and walked to the front door to see who it was. It took everything she had not to laugh at the boy as he tensed up and turned red, if he were a bit observant he would have been everyone trying their best not to break down in laughter as he quickly stood up and proceeded to walk to the hallway and the bathroom. His reasoning finally clicked in her head when he announced it to them when he was safely behind the couch. Silently counting under her breath, she heard the bathroom door shut and she finally let out her laughter, "Oh my god. Was that for real?"

She turned and saw her Sister Rachel laughing on their father's shoulder, "That grabbing his thigh bit was brilliant of mom."

"You guys are horrible," DJ shook his head and covered his mouth from the laughter.

Jake, however was simply glaring at the television, Alyssa was sure that he felt that last thing was approaching that line from minds games into child molestation, "Why doesn't she just motorboat him next?"

"Because A: I only let you do that," Rose answered as she walked back into the living room with a large pizza box in her hand, on top of it were the napkins, plates, some cups and a liter bottle of soda that she had ordered with the Pizza, "And B: I think the kid would have a stroke from the loss of blood from his brain."

With her words, they all began to laugh, albeit quietly for the boy who was doing god knows what in the bathroom.

25 Minutes Later

Rose's POV

"He's either really, really good at it," Alyssa commented as she took a bite of the pizza, "Or really, really bad at it."

Rose snorted and she almost choked on her pizza mid bite, the kid had been in the bathroom for 25 minutes and counting. There were only three things that would cause one to be in the bathroom that long, either he was washing his hands compulsively or he was having some alone time. Did he really do that after she grabbed his thigh? He was such a teenage boy. The thought of that kid, doing that in her bathroom made her want to gag, "Please tell me that he's not abusing himself in my bathroom. I really don't have time to go out and by a tub of industrial bleach to clean it up."

"Hey," Alyssa hit her mother's shoulder lightly and motioned to her daughter, "Not in front of the little one."

Rose glared at her daughter, "Well what did you mean by that 'really, really good at it' crack?"

"Well Liza didn't know what 'it' meant," Alyssa admonished, sure it was a tad hypocritical, but Liza was her daughter.

Liza's eyes were big in curiosity from Jake's side, "What did you mean by 'abusing himself' Grandma?"

"You'll learn about it when your older baby," Rose winked at her Granddaughter.

From the side of the couch, DJ chuckled, "If you're a member of this family, it's something of a given of you knowing about it."

Swallowing another slice of Pizza, Alyssa growled and hit her brother's shoulder in the same fashion as she did with Rose, "How many times do I have to say, not in front of the little one."

DJ scowled at his sister and her hit her on the shoulder, "Don't you hit me."

"What are you going to do about it shrimp?" Alyssa asked, hitting DJ on the shoulder again.

"Hit you again, old woman," DJ scowled and hit his sister again.

It soon ended up in a mini slap fight between DJ and Alyssa, it took Rose to stop them by leaning over and pulling Alyssa away from her brother, "Break it up, you two don't live together so why do you fight?"

"I think it's in the genes Rose," Jake answered smoothly, not taking his eyes off of the TV, "Just let them be."

Rose glared at her husband and back at her children, "Alright, I think I heard a flush, he's coming back out."

With their inherit quickness that they received from their parents, DJ and Alyssa split apart and went back to their ends of the couch. Alyssa leaned up against her mother and DJ pretended that he wasn't at least amused by this friend's reaction to his mother's mind games. When Grant finally returned to the living room, there was an air of awkwardness to the entire room as they all looked back up the boy who had a slight blush on his face. It was Rose who drove the final nail in his coffin when she turned and offered the kid a sympathetic, almost cliché pout. "You were in there for a long time honey, you okay?"

Grant smiled and her and tapped his stomach slightly, "Yeah, everything's fine."

"Did you remember to wash your hands?" Alyssa questioned, turning back and raising and eyebrow at the kid.

Again, there was that blush that came over her him, "Uh, yeah …"

When Grant nodded and scratched this back of his head, Alyssa and Rose sighed in relief and were quick to hide their reactions from him as he came to the other side of the couch.

This was going to be a long night.

Alyssa's POV

Two stressful hours later, it was time for Alyssa and Liza to go home and that meant one last play for Alyssa to outdo her mother. She was sure that Johnny wouldn't be mad at her if she made one last move on the kid. After all, he and her mother had practically made out a decade and a half ago and she was still rather sore about that, it would be her trump card if word got back to Johnny. Rose, Jake, DJ, Grant, Alyssa and Liza made their way to the front door. Alyssa helped her daughter put on her coat and then when she finally got her own coat around her shoulders she turned and smiled at her family and her family's victim. She embraced her father first and kissed him on the cheek, "Thanks for letting me and my offspring mooch off of you tonight, Daddy."

Jake patted his daughter's back, "Well you've been doing it your entire life Lyss, feel free to do it whenever you please."

Alyssa smiled and hugged her brother next, "Sorry for …you know hitting you and calling you a shrimp."

"Sorry for calling you an old bag," DJ grinned at his older sister.

The American Dragon put her hands on her hips and raised and eyebrow, "An Old Woman."

"You say tomato-…," He hugged his sister and he raised his lips up to her ear to quietly whisper, "Thanks for psyching out my best friend."

Alyssa laughed and turned to her mother, "Mother, it's always a blast."

Rose mock saluted her daughter, "Likewise daughter."

Then biting her lip, she turned to Grant and unexpectedly to him, hugged him and her land drifted down to his behind and patted it, "Grant, it's been …fun."

With that, she took her daughter's hand, opened the door and left. She left Rose holding her hand over her mouth to cover the laugh and smirk, DJ and Jake's jaws dropped and Grant was blushing like tomato.

The Long Family had claimed another victim.
