Chapter 15- Banters

Oliver Residence

Angel Grove, CA

Thanksgiving dinner was set to start at 7:00 pm. Right now, it was noon. Tommy and Kim were in 'their' bedroom drinking Bud Lights.

For the most part, there was tension between Thomas, Tommy, and Kim and Mary Beth Oliver. Mrs. Oliver secluded herself from everyone. There were some things she needed to think about. Thomas, Tommy, and Kim, on the other hand, were having a lot of fun hanging out. Just yesterday, they headed to Disneyland. Mr. Oliver admitted he's never had that much fun before. Even at his old age, he found he could let loose.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Oliver was busy cooking for the grand feast. In addition to the Olivers and Kim, there was going to be Uncle John, Aunt Mona, and cousins, Abby and David. Uncle John was Thomas' brother, and Tommy was very close to him. For Tommy, he hoped that Uncle John's level headed personality would shine for his mom.

"Babe, don't you know anyone who sells weed?" Kim gulped down the rest of her beer. After her bad trip with Salvia, they were trying to stay away from the stuff.

Tommy sipped his beer. "No, we only have cigarettes, Primetimes, and the salvia." He informed, knowing they both needed something heavier before tonight.

Kim had the backups, but she knew her boyfriend wouldn't consent to them. She frowned. "If we take shots beforehand, we are more likely to be drunken fools." She pointed her hand in front of him. "Not to mention, it will be obvious what we've been doing."

"I love you, you know that?" He chuckled at her mannerisms. She rolled her eyes. "Really, I do."

She playfully smacked his chest. "I love you, too." She reciprocated his feelings, but she needed something stronger. Dealing with Mrs. Oliver, she needed some strong shit. "The next best thing is the salvia." She gave in.

Her boyfriend sighed. She's right. They did the same procedures. She placed the towel by the door's bottom slit. He opened the window to air out the smell. Kim began to crowd the leaves of the salvia plant into the bowl of the spoon pipe. She clutched Tommy's white lighter in her left hand, almost nervous of what kind of psychedelic excursion she'd encounter this time.

Tommy placed a reassuring hand on Kim's right shoulder. "Hey, don't worry, I'm right here." She shouldn't have been so anxious. He bent down to kiss his woman. Their lips fused, while their tongues ran a marathon in their mouths. His hands began to trail down Kim's body, and they found a resting spot on her hips. He dug his fingers in, and the pressure caused Kim's body to tingle at the feel of them. Instantly, she got wet.

Kim pulled away. Once again taking a deep breath, she blazed. With the pipe in her mouth and the plant sizzling away, Kim took a hefty inhale. The smoke journeyed from her mouth, down her throat, and into her lungs. As the smoke expanded in her lungs, it seemingly ascended up to her brain.

Tommy reenacted Kim's motions. The gaseous herb scattered throughout his body. The physical and mental aspects of himself were affected immediately.

Laughing resounded in the room, and they were simply laughing for no reason. There wasn't a comedy on, and they weren't watching Katt Williams or even hearing funny jokes. The immediate side effect was laughter. Phase one: complete.

Both smoked the mind altering plant.

Phase two: is about to begin. Tommy and Kim made eye contact. With him sitting on his desk chair, and Kim lounging on his bed, he found it unfair. He climbed onto the bed to be closer to her. His lips attacked her neck with vengeance. He began to suck on it like a vampire. As if he was acting, his mood was altered. Complete.

Kim's fingers scratched the back of his shirt. Emphasis, that he was doing everything right. Phase three: Her eyes were closed, and she replayed Sunday. Tommy's dick rammed into her from behind, and she moaned his name out loud. "Right there, Tommy." Echoed from her mouth. She bucked under him, thinking she was making love to the man.

Tommy began to tear Kim's clothes off. He needed to be buried inside of her. His clothes followed, with their naked bodies in pure contact, he turned made her, so she can get on all fours. Kim's mind didn't read the event at 16, her mind registered Sunday afternoon. Phase four: everything felt real.

Even without stimulation, Tommy's cock was engorged, and pointedly shot up. This thing really had a mind of its own. Their bodies merged with one another. His dick submerged in her wet pussy. Thinking they were alone, she screamed out loud. "Fuck me." Kim moaned with bliss. Phase five: She thought they were in her condo, but in all reality they were having sex in his parent's home.

Tommy rolled his hips against Kim's ass quickly. He fucked her, and he wanted her to feel it. "I love this position." He said through each thrust of his dick. Kim rolled her hips against him, and their skins slapping against one another.

Meanwhile, Thomas had walked passed his son's room. He was headed to help his wife slave over the stove. He heard Kim's screaming.

"Yes, fuck, yes." Kim praised for her boyfriend to continue. "Harder."

Mr. Oliver gasped. He watched as his wife came to stand by the door.

"Fuck, your pussy is so tight." Tommy shouted.

Mrs. Oliver was stunned. She heard Kim demanding to be spanked. The smacking sound, sounded outside the door. "Oh my God." Mrs. Oliver's ear was connected to her son's door. She listened intently to their mating sounds.

Mr. Oliver, in the back of his head, smiled. His son was really growing up. He led his wife away, but she didn't move. He gave her the meanest glare, and Mrs. Oliver followed. There was nothing she could do. She went on as if nothing happened.

The bouncer continued pounding into his stripper girlfriend. He even grabbed her hair for leverage. Kim's moans were insatiable. Her boyfriend was getting her off with each and every move he did. She gripped her boyfriend's sheets as she was being entered from behind. Kim mewled out in ecstasy.

He looked at his girlfriend's ass. It was red from where he had spanked her. He continued his eager thrusting, pushing and pulling himself in and out of her. He continued to hold her hair. Kim's body slightly elevated up, and he began to suck on Kim's neck, while reaming himself into her. "God, Kim." He hotly whispered into her ear. "You feel fucking good."

Kim counteracted his thrusts. The slapping sounds continued to echo in the room. "So… do… you." Kim whimpered as they continued. Her pussy clamped down on his dick.

That sent him over the edge. Tommy came right into her, and he continued to pour himself in her. "Shit, shit… fuck." Tommy loudly groaned. The extra tightness of Kim's vagina milked him for all he had to give. Kim hadn't came yet. He positioned Kim on her back, and fixed the usual three fingers in her. His fingers unrelentingly struck into her. On impact, the bed creaked, and it hit up against his wall.

"Oh, God." Kim screamed. She moved her hips in sync with his, and she bit down on her lip. "Fuck, Tommy, yes!" She lost all inhibitions. His cum and her cum were about to mix, since she came right on his fingers. Her body quivered at the feeling.

Tommy bent down to give Kim a sloppy kiss. This kiss was a positive though. Their tongues mingled with passion. He got up, and he staggered to the door. The after effects of the salvia were still present in his body. He clumsily dropped the towel twice as he brought it back to Kim. She laughed, as her body was still feeling the after effects too. Her body watched the first time she had kissed Tommy. She giggled at how naive he was.

He began to wipe her, paying special attention to the inside of her.

"Damn." Kim giggled. "That was one of the best sessions we've had." She praised him.

He thought about it. "I think the cat's out the bag." They were pretty loud, and he had no doubt that his parent's heard.

"Does that bother you?" Kim wondered with worry. She grabbed the towel, and she began to gently clean him up.

Tommy let out a soft moan, while she caressed his dick. "What can I do? It happened." He looked at the pipe still filled with some salvia. "This shit can really fuck with your mind."

"You wanted to, and I followed. We could've just done-" Kim stopped herself from finishing the sentence.

"Could've what?" Her boyfriend asked.

Kim placed the dirtied towel on his floor. "Just found someone who sells weed." She covered abruptly. Tommy nodded. She kissed him with love.

While naked, Tommy and Kim took a nap.

Meanwhile, Thomas and Mary Beth cooked in silence. The turkey was promptly basting in her secret seasoning recipe. Mr. Oliver began peeling the potatoes. He gazed at his wife.

"How are you feeling?" He questioned her innocently.

Mary Beth grabbed the corn, so she could shuck them. "What can I say?" She sighed as she stopped for a moment. She looked at her husband. "I think for the first time, since Kim's been here; I'm utterly speechless." She picked up her task again.

"I'm sorry for cussing at you a couple of days ago." He sincerely hated fighting with his wife.

"I'm sorry for not opening up my eyes." Mary Beth began to cry. She shook her head. "I'm not going to be best friends with Kimberly, but I will show her more respect than I have." She knew she was driving Tommy into the opposite way of her. That's something she didn't want, and she would never be able to handle that, ever.

He went to hug his partner, the one he's promised to marry and stick by in sickness and in health. "Don't say that to benefit all of us, say that because you mean it." He held on to her.

While she held on to him like a lifeline, she nodded her head. "I can't believe they were doing that in our house." She wiped her tears away. "Don't you think, they could've done that somewhere else?" She washed her hands, so she wouldn't spread any germs.

"I'm sure they do, do that somewhere else." Thomas chuckled. For the first time in four days, he found his wife to be relaxed. He pecked her on the lips, and pretty soon the kissing got heavier.

She got a wicked idea, and it's probably because they needed some. "Come on, Thomas." Mary Beth beckoned with a finger. Thomas looked at her, and he knew that look. He eagerly obliged. They left for their master bedroom.

Half an hour later. . .

Kim was brought out of her stupor of peaceful sleep. She heard thumping against the wall. Her brows furrowed, and she unnoticeably descended off the bed. Finding her pink robe in her suitcase, Kim dressed herself in it. She walked out of Tommy's room, and she trailed the banging and moans. At the loudest point, Kim found herself in front of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver's door. Not trying to be a pervert or anything, she couldn't help, but listen in.

"Mary Beth, I almost forgot how you feel." Thomas grunted. More skin slapping could be heard.

Kim softly giggled. Her face reddened.

"I'm about to… oh God, I need to cummmm." Mary Beth's voice trailed off.

Tommy, dressed in clothes, looked for his girlfriend. He saw she was by his parent's room. "Kim, what are you doing?" He whispered.

She shushed him, and she gently strolled towards him. "Your parents were having sex." She muttered.

"WHAT!" He tried to keep it down, but he couldn't believe that. He tried to wring his ears out. "They were what?"

Kim nodded, not wanting to repeat herself.

The parents' bedroom door opened. Out walked a very satisfied Oliver couple. Their eyes traveled to Kim and Tommy.

"Good afternoon." Mary Beth cheerfully greeted. "Oh, this should be a wonderful Thanksgiving!" She walked back to the kitchen.

Thomas gave a smirk to his son and possible, future daughter in law. He shadowed his wife's stride.

Tommy shook his head. "I can't believe it." He was stunned, to say the least. Part of him was disgusted to know his parents still had that groove.

"Come on, Handsome." Kim grabbed the band of his track pants. Tommy, like his father, eagerly followed his girlfriend to the bedroom.

While inside, Kim busted up laughing. She began to put away their smoking materials. "I had no clue your parents got down like that." She cleansed the pipe thoroughly.

As she did that, Tommy began to place the liquor back in the mini fridge. "Please, I don't want a mental picture." He closed the door of the fridge. He saw the look that Kim gave him. "Don't you think that either."

"What? That could've been the reason." She informed him.

Tommy and Kim's relationship had a really strong connection. After two months, they were able to decipher what the other one thought with just a look. Not a lot of couples could say or do that. Cassie and TJ couldn't even do that, and they had been together for over a decade. That's something the bouncer and stripper liked to gloat about.

"Whatever." Tommy said to shut up the conversation. "When should we shower?" He let her pick the time.

Kim's eyes browsed the clock. "Maybe in an hour. We don't need to rush." She said to him.

A cell phone chimed in the closed room. Both checked their phones. It was Tommy's. He answered it.

"Hey Bro." Kim gave him a look. He mouthed 'Rocky'. Kim nodded.

"How's your vacation going? Are you getting it in?" He laughed.

Tommy rolled his eyes. "Are you getting it in?" He answered his question with a question.

"No."

"What!" He couldn't help, but laugh.

"Fucking, mother nature decided to fuck up my vacation. She started this past Monday." His heavy breathing signaled how upset he was. "Thankfully, she's getting lighter. Come Saturday, I'm ripping into her like there's not tomorrow."

"Nice to know." He sarcastically said. "Anyways, what's going on?"

Rocky sipped his water. "With tomorrow being the biggest shopping day of the year, I figure I need backup. You and Kim meet up with me and Aisha at Ontario Mills." He practically begged. "I can't handle Aisha questioning me about 'how does this make me look' or 'does my butt look big'. I mean she has a big ass."

Tommy laughed. "Let me ask Kim." He covered the receiver. "You want to go shopping tomorrow with Rocky and his girlfriend?" Kim nodded with a big grin. "Yeah, we'll go, what time are you heading out?"

"Early, I know that. There's no specific time. I just know she said, 'don't eat so much turkey, it makes you tired'." Rocky sounded annoyed. "Man, I love this woman, but shit, she has so many demands."

Tommy nodded. "I noticed we don't live that far from each other. How about this, text me your address, and we will pick you up, so you can get some rest before we shop." Tommy thought about something. "Call Jason too. Conner's too far to drive down here."

Kim blew out a breath of relief. She wasn't sure if she could handle spending a full shopping day with Conner and Kira. They would probably be staring her down.

"Cool, it's going to be like school times, but at the mall with our girls." Rocky liked the idea. "Alright, Bro, have a good Thanksgiving, see you tomorrow."

"You too. Bye Bro." Tommy hung up. Kim climbed on top of his lap. "So, shopping tomorrow, let me guess, I need to make sure my truck is clear."

She nodded. "This is my favorite time of the year!" She gushed with a giggle.

"I probably need three energy drinks, huh?"

"Maybe four, no five!" She updated him. Tommy groaned.

Four hours later. . .

Tommy was dressed in a white, long sleeved, dress shirt, black dress pants, and black shoes. He had on a black and silver stripped tie. His hair was perfectly spiked, and he decided to wear his eyeglasses. They were upon Kim's request. She found him to look like a sexy school teacher when he wore those.

Kim was garbed in a black, cap sleeved, belted dress. The belt of the dress was white, and was placed around her stomach. This gave her the illusion of an hour-glass figure. The dress tastefully hit mid-thigh, and she had on classic, black heels. Her hair was in a casual updo, and she had on a soft smoky eye.

Mr. Oliver and Mrs. Oliver smiled at the young couple that entered the living room. The parents of Tommy were dressed to impress, and they were definitely in their 'best Sunday wear'.

Thomas and Tommy's eyes bounced jumped between the two females present. They were trying to work out whether a fight was going to start or not.

"Kimberly, you look absolutely gorgeous." Mrs. Oliver complimented honestly. She gave a warm smile towards her son's girlfriend.

The stripper known as Geo was slightly shocked. She believed Mrs. Oliver's statement. "Thank you, Mrs. Oliver." Kim smiled. "Green is a really nice color on you." She noticed the woman's color of choice.

"Thank you." Mrs. Oliver looked at her family. "Don't the men look handsome?" She pointed at them. This was definitely a different Mary Beth than the first time Kim had met her.

There was an impatient knock on the door. Mary Beth opened the door, and she greeted her Brother in law, his wife, and niece. "John, Mona, Abby." She gave them big hugs. "Come in."

The three newcomers entered the living room.

"Tommy, look at you." Uncle John hugged his nephew. "Wow, you get handsomer each time I see you." He smiled and looked at the small, young lady next to him. "This must be Kimberly." Kim nodded. "I'm Uncle John, this is my wife, Mona, and our daughter Abby." He introduced them.

"Nice to meet you." Kim gave a firm handshake to them all.

Abby looked at her cousin's girlfriend. "You have really nice skin." She weirdly complimented.

Kim smiled. "Thank you." She figured she could give some tips.

"Where's David?" Thomas questioned about his nephew.

"He'll be here; he's coming from Mariner Bay. There was a big computer job he had to do out there." Mona spoke of her older son. She sniffed the aroma that circulated the room. "Mary Beth, you have really outdone yourself this time." She looked at her sister in law closely. "What moisturizer have you been using, it's really dazzling on you."

Kim and Tommy snickered, while Mary Beth mildly looked flushed.

"Can I interest you in something to drink?" Thomas cleared his throat to distract the others.

"Wine." Mona requested.

Uncle John and Thomas walked into the kitchen to make the drinks. They went to talk amongst themselves. Uncle John had a business proposition for his brother.

Abby sat down and looked around.

Tommy sat down in the recliner, and Kim sat on her boyfriend's lap. They decided to talk to Abby, and Abby spoke back.

Mona looked at the sight questioningly. Between the older women, Mona made sure to talk loud enough for only Mary Beth to hear. "That's not right." She subtly pointed at her nephew and his girlfriend.

"Doesn't matter." Mary Beth said. She had let everything go. "Listen, I've already been in fights with Tommy and his girlfriend, and I have to face that Tommy's grown up."

"So that type of PDA is okay?" Mona appalled by the scene.

Mary Beth shook her head. "Mona, please, it's not that big of a deal." Knowing that Tommy and Kim have gone all the way, what they were doing looked more like child's play than anything else.

"Here are the drinks." Thomas placed the tray down. He handed the wine to Mona and Mary Beth, a can of Pepsi to Abby, and the two men had their whiskey on the rocks. "Sorry, I wasn't sure what you two, wanted to drink." The patriarch informed Tommy and Kim.

Kim and Tommy smiled. "It's all good." Tommy informed. "Excuse us." Kim and Tommy walked back to their room, almost with giddiness. They were thankful they had a reason to get a drink. They quickly mixed their drinks, and placed them in the green, plastic cups they had purchased. Both cheered each other, and they drank with gusto.

All the while, Mona was still shocked. "They stay in the same bed." She hastily whispered to her sister in law. That irked her to no end. "Mary Beth, that's not right, and you know it." The Christian woman she thought her sister in law to be diminished. "Tommy's never been like that, and he's never even kissed a girl, now he's gallavanting around with one; you're letting it happen!" She said with exasperation.

Rather annoyed, Mary Beth whipped her head to face Mona. "What my son and his girlfriend do is none of your concern." She got up, and she decided to get everything ready for dinner. An epiphany erupted in her head. She understood how overbearing she was. If she was anything like Mona, and she even thought she was worse than Mona, she had to apologize to Kim.

Tommy and Kim stumbled back to the living room, while laughing. They smiled at the occupants. The doorbell rang, and Tommy decided to answer the door, since he was already up. "I got it, stay cooth." He slurred, ignoring the giggles from his cousin, and the stares coming from his dad and uncle. He walked to the door. David was there. Kim looked between the two, and she gasped. They looked alike. If she hadn't known Tommy inside and out, she was positive she would've thought David was Tommy. "David!" He happily greeted his cousin. "What's up, Bro!"

David started laughing at his cousin's enthusiasm. "Hey, cuz." He smiled. He looked at the woman behind Tommy. He found her to be very, very attractive. "Hello." He smoothly greeted Kim. He held out his hand, and he took her left hand. He gave it a soft peck. "I'm David." He began to caress Kim's hand, thinking it was comforting. He continued to smile at her.

Kind of dismayed, Kim took her hand back. "I'm Kim." She buried herself into Tommy deeper. Protectively, Tommy engulfed the petite woman in his arms.

"Dinner's ready." Mary Beth called out. She watched as her family began to pile into the dining room. She smiled, and then she stopped Kim. Kim looked at her puzzled. "Can I speak to you, after dinner?" She muttered.

"Of course." Kim smiled. She took her seat next to Tommy.

Seated around the rectangular table was Thomas and Mary Beth at the heads of the table, on the right was Tommy, to his left Kim, and to her left, David. On the opposite side sat Mona, to her right Uncle John, and to his right Abby.

Thomas served the already carved turkey, while everyone else helped themselves to the sides. Conversations radiated amongst them.

"Tommy, how's Reefside?" Uncle John questioned through his corn. He swallowed.

Tommy fully chewed his roll before answering. "It's great, and way bigger than Angel Grove."

"Is that where you met Kim?" Mona wondered. She kept forking her food as she looked at the couple before her.

Mary Beth noticed. She was beginning to dislike Mona's manners.

Kim nodded. "Yup." She placed her hand on Tommy's knee. "Tommy and I have been together for almost three months, and I haven't been happier." Tommy kissed her temple.

Thomas, Uncle John, and Mary Beth smiled. Abby didn't care, while Mona and David were riled up- both for different reasons.

"David, how is your work going?" Mary Beth brought the attention to someone else. She took a bite of her green beans almandine

"Great. I bring in an income of $51,000 a year. That's even after taxes." He enunciated his yearly amount, in hopes of impressing Kim. He gave the woman next to him a smile.

Kim didn't care. First of all, Tommy brought in way more than that, and second, she wasn't with Tommy for the money. She brought in way more than him; she cared for Tommy and loved him for being him. She looked at the teen girl on the other side of the table. "Abby, what grade are you in?" Kim didn't want to leave out the other teen.

Abby consumed her sweet potatoes. She hoped they didn't get stuck in her braces. "I'm a sophomore at Angel Grove High School." She answered. "I'm hoping when I become a senior my dad will let me race."

"Race?" Kim inquired as she drank her sparkling apple cider. She felt this stuff would go great with her vodka. Tommy echoed her thoughts, and he winked at her.

Uncle John nodded. "I own a racing team- 'Oliver and Racing's Company'." He smiled brightly about his business venture. "We win almost all of our races. I wanted Tommy to race for me, but he decided to go into Paleontology instead. Guess, he found more money there." He gave a wink to his nephew.

"One day, maybe I'll do it on the side. I think Abby will do a great job racing and carrying on the family name." The young college student complimented. "I have faith."

"Thanks." Abby's confidence got a big boost.

"Oh, Abby, I thought you would forget about racing. It's really not a lady like thing to do." Mona groaned at the thought of her babygirl out there racing.

Abby rolled her eyes. "Mom, it's just racing, I don't see what the big deal is." She huffed out.

Kim was stunned by Mona's comment. She had seen the looks she was given by this woman, and if she didn't know any better, this woman was worse than Mary Beth.

"I think it's wonderful that Abby wants to take a shot at racing." Thomas praised his niece. "There's nothing wrong with it at all."

"Thank you, Uncle T." Abby had always called him that since she was little. "See, mom, Uncle T doesn't mind." She gulped her soda.

Mona placed her utensils down. "Uncle T isn't your parent." She curtly reminded her daughter. "As your mother, what I say goes." She looked among the occupants of the dining room. "Tonight's dinner was wonderful."

It got so quiet; you could hear a pin drop. Abby was glaring at her mom, while everyone else stared away from Mona's face.

"How about some pie?" Thomas tried to diffuse the situation. He wondered if Mary Beth saw herself in Mona.

"I'll help." Uncle John excused himself from the table.

Abby sat with her arms crossed over her chest. Her mom could be so overbearing sometimes, and that greatly pissed her off.

"Well, David, why don't you help me to clear the table." Mary Beth requested kindly of her nephew. David obliged.

That left Kim, Tommy, Abby, and Mona.

Kim whispered in his ear. "What's with your aunt?" She looked at him, and he shrugged. "I think your cousin should go for it."

"Me too." Tommy agreed. He held his girlfriend closer to him. "If Abby was olde enough, I'd offer her a shot of vodka."

Kim giggled. "She's almost there." They laughed amongst themselves.

Mona didn't like their side conversation. She had a strange feeling they were talking about her.

Dessert was eaten in silence. After that, everyone reconvened in the living room. The men were watching the football game, and the women were reading the advertisements. There were a lot of appetizing sales.

"I wish I had the money to shop." Mary Beth desired with a frown. "There are so many good sales, and I can't shop like I used to."

"I think John was talking about giving a job to Thomas." Mona informed as she drank her coffee. "That would be good for Thomas to start working again. How have you two been managing to keep your heads above water?"

Mary Beth sighed. "Tommy. He's been putting money into my bank account, and I'm very thankful." She smiled at Kim, knowing she needed to still have a talk with her.

"That's interesting to know, so Tommy helps?" Mona saw Mary Beth nod. "What does he do?"

"He works at a movie theater." Mary Beth responded, while shuffling through the ads.

The stripper needed a cigarette. She was fidgeting immensely. She twisted her body to curve the craving.

"Are you going shopping?" Mona asked Kim.

Kim nodded. "Yes, we're going with a couple of friends from school." She noticed the Victoria Secret annual sale. There were plenty of outfits she could get there for personal and business use. She picked it up.

"You shop there?" Tommy's aunt asked in disbelief. Kim nodded. "Isn't it awfully expensive?"

"I've had the money to shop there, so I never noticed." Kim replied. She felt the heated stare coming from Aunt Mona.

"You work?"

"Yes. I do." Kim said. "I work with Tommy." She partly confessed.

Aunt Mona finished her coffee. "I see." She snidely remarked.

Kim wished she could backhand the woman in front of her. "We manage a comfortable living." She smiled.

"Kimberly, can we have that talk?" Her boyfriend's mother asked. Kim nodded, and she followed. Both ladies put on their snug peacoats. It was fairly chilly outside. They arrived to the backyard, and each took a seat. Mary Beth turned on the tiki-torches, and the warmth began to lightly come down.

"Mrs. Oliver, what did you need to talk to me about?" Kim was anxious to know.

Mary Beth took a deep breath. "Mothers would always like to think we know best. I guess it's the 'June Cleaver Syndrome'." She giggled, knowing it was another stalling tactic. "When I first met you, I didn't want to get to know you further. I disliked you, and it showed. I said the most hurtful things I've ever said about someone because I refused to see your side. I've always been Tommy's number one woman, and that's how I would've liked to keep it."

Kim listened as Mary Beth was describing her feelings.

"However, I realized I was wrong, and I'm very sorry." Mary Beth apologized. "I should've been more considerate of your feelings. Tommy and Thomas love you, and I shouldn't hold a grudge against you for that. I should see why they care for you as much as they do. I should've given you the chance a long time ago."

For a minute, the words sunk in. Kim looked at Mrs. Oliver. "Are you saying that because you mean it, or because you and Mr. Oliver had sex this afternoon?"

As a minute trolled by, both women laughed.

"I guess it had been so long, I forgot how good it felt." Mrs. Oliver giggled. "It helped to further clear my mind."

"It does that." Kim nodded.

"I also heard you and Tommy doing it." Mrs. Oliver watched Kim's face falter into a nervous one. "Don't worry, it's a natural act between a man and a woman. Sometimes, because they love each other, other times a man and woman do it, so they can have their needs met."

"You aren't upset?" Kim squeaked, somewhat alleviated that she wasn't being so judging. Yet, Kim wondered why she was so understanding all of a sudden.

Mrs. Oliver nodded. "I still have my values, but I know you and Tommy are in love. That's how you two show it."

Kim smiled. "Thank you for being understanding. I'm sorry if you felt I had changed Tommy. He still holds onto his principles and beliefs. Trust me." She referenced his weekly attendance to church. "So, is Mr. Oliver that good?" Kim winked at Mrs. Oliver.

Mrs. Oliver laughed and sheepishly nodded. She began to talk about her experiences.

The Oliver men watched from the patio door. They smiled from left to right, and they went back to the living room.

David was sitting, and he watched as his little cousin entered the room. "Man, your girl sure is a looker, how'd you get her?" He queried, while eating some almonds.

"Don't worry about it." Tommy joked. My wits and penis got her. He laughed to himself.

A laughing Kim and Mary Beth entered the home. They had big smiles on their faces. Kim immediately ran into the arms of Tommy, and Mary Beth went to her husband. She surveyed the room, and she still saw Mona's unfortunate, annoyed face. She sighed, trying to remain oblivious to it.

"Older brother, I hope you take me up on the offer." Uncle John yearned for. He had a Budweiser in his hand. That was his favorite beer.

Thomas smiled at his little brother. "Of course, I'll take you up on the offer. I can definitely do the payroll for your racing team." This was great.

"I'll pay you as much as I can. Trust me, you will be making close to, or maybe as much as you used to." Uncle John reassured.

Mary Beth smiled. "That's great!" She was ecstatic for her husband. "Now, Tommy doesn't have to share his hard earned money anymore." She laughed at her son.

"Whatever." Tommy murmured as he rolled his eyes. Kim giggled. She dug her fingers into Tommy's thigh. He nodded. "Everyone, Kim and I are going to take a walk. We need to walk off the big meal we just ate." Both quickly retreated to the bedroom, and they grabbed their items. With that they left.

"Where are they going?" Mona questioned everyone in the room. She thought they were up to no good.

"Mona." Mary Beth waited for her sister in law to look at her. "Stick a sock in it and watch tv." Mona gasped, while everyone else snickered. Satisfaction appeared on Mary Beth's face, and she giggled. That felt so good to say.

Abby got up, and she followed them. She wondered what they were up to. She tried to make her treading footsteps as light as possible.

Tommy and Kim found themselves at the park. They took out the pack of cigarettes, and they began to smoke. As they puffed away, it felt like a release. Kim heard the leaves begin to crackle.

"Abby, come out." Kim summoned.

Tommy's head shot towards his little cousin. "What are you doing?" He tried to sequester the cigarette.

"Oh come on, Tommy." Abby said. She looked between her cousin and his girlfriend. "I knew you weren't as holy as everyone thinks you are."

The stripper noticed this cousin has some spunk. "What, you want one?" She blew out the smoke.

"Maybe." Abby nodded. She confiscated the cigarette that was offered by Kim. "You won't tell Mom, will you?"

Tommy shook his head. "Please, your mom can be worse than my mom." He continued his smoking.

"Good to know, I'm not alone." Abby sensed his sincereness. She inhaled as Kim lit up her cigarette. She exhaled, and she began to cough like crazy. "Oh... God." Abby felt like she was couhing up a damn lung. "What the hell are in these things?"

"Chemicals." Kim joked, but was serious. "Don't pick up the habit. We just figured you needed one." She squished her dead cigarette on the ground.

The little cousin looked between the two. "Do you guys' always talk like one person?" She referenced the 'we', she had been hearing.

"For the most part." Tommy said. He smiled at her. "Don't listen to your mom, Kim and I would love to see you out there racing."

"Thanks, cuz." She was thankful she had him to back her up. "And Kim, don't worry, David's harmless. He thinks his big job can get him anything and everything."

Kim looked at Tommy. She knew his jealous streak, and she saw him tense. "Hey, don't worry." She assured him that there was no other guy she wanted, but him. All three of them began walking back. Kim looked at Abby. "Besides, your cousin makes more money than your brother." She tossed a wink. With that, everyone laughed.

Thanksgiving day had some off the wall conversations.
