Chapter Seven - Thanksgiving and a Proposal Part One
It was Thanksgiving weekend, Chiara was so nervous she felt sick. Annie and Marc's parents were arriving any minute. She checked and rechecked her bag then went and looked at herself in the mirror again. Annie came up behind her and gave her a hug, kissing her on the cheek.
"Relax honey, Marc will be here soon. Mom and Dad will love you."
"But what if I fuck up? What if I let it slip about you and me too?" Chiara asked, feeling like she was going to cry.
Marc came into their room just then and exchanged a quick hug and kiss with Annie, then looked at Chiara and asked her if she was okay. She grabbed Marc and snuggled into him, shaking and shivering with jangled nerves. He caressed her back, calming her down with his reassuring words.
"Hey pixie-girl relax, it'll be fine. Mom and Dad will be here in five minutes then we're on our way."
That five minutes felt like five years to Chiara. Marc's folks pulled up right on time and they stowed their bags in the back of their MDX.
Marc's Mom almost ran to Chiara and gave her a big hug and kiss, "You must be Chiara, Marc's told us all about you! Aren't you just the sweetest little thing? You can call me Sarah. Brett, come say hi to Marc's young lady."
A big bear of a man came around the side of the car and took Chiara's hand in his massive one, "Well hello little lady, Marc speaks quite highly of you." He said with a deep Texas twang.
Chiara couldn't help blushing at what Marc's folks were saying. She hadn't know that he'd been telling them about her.
"Thank you Mr. Montgomery, it's a pleasure meeting both of you."
They all piled into the car, Marc sat up front with his Dad while Chiara, Annie and her Mom sat in the back.
Marc's Dad looked in the rear view at Chiara, "So you're Dan and Kristen's girl, how are your folks doing?"
"Uh, yeah. They're fine, Dad has a conference in New York so Mom tagged along. So, ahh, how do you know my parents?"
Brett and Sarah laughed and she patted Chiara's knee, "We used to go dancing together, but when we moved that kind of stopped our fun."
Chiara felt kind of weird, finding out that her parents knew Marc and Annie's folks yet she'd never met the twins before. She shared a look with them and they looked just as baffled as she felt. Brett pulled out of the lot and they headed for the highway.
Once they were on the highway Sarah turned to Chiara and asked how she and Marc had met, explaining that Marc had been kind of evasive about it on the phone.
Chiara laughed and gave Marc a pat on the shoulder, "He was probably just being modest. Marc saved me from an awkward situation at his frat house's Halloween party, and Annie introduced us. He was actually very sweet and caring."
Sarah looked between her kids, "So you two are finally talking again? Will wonders never cease."
"Thank Kiki for that Mom, a lot of things have changed between me and Marc since the pipsqueak came along." Annie grinned.
Brett looked at Chiara through the mirror and smiled warmly, "Well Kiki, if what Annie said is true Sarah and I owe you a huge debt. It's been hard on us with the kids feuding for so long."
Sarah nodded, "Yes, they never told us what happened between them, but it must have been bad for them to not make up."
"Well Chiara laid down the law and demanded that we play nice. She didn't want to deal with the drama of her boyfriend and best friend fighting, so we decided to patch things up. Right sis?" Marc said with a sly wink at the little redhead.
"Yeah baby brother, I'm glad we found Kiki, I don't know where we'd be without her." Annie said as she gave her friend a quick hug and peck on the cheek.
Chiara was sure she was blushing to her toes she was so embarrassed. Marc and Annie's Mom was actually crying and even their dad seemed a bit choked up. They drove on in silence for a bit, then their parents started asking how they were making out in school and just chatted in general.
They eventually made it to their home and Chiara was impressed, from the outside it looked pretty big and the inside reflected the outside size. The inside was very tastefully decorated, and Brett and Sarah told Chiara to make herself at home. Sarah said Chiara could either have the guest room or bunk in with Annie.
"Uh I thought she'd be in with me," Marc chimed in.
Brett gave his son a look, then he stared down at Chiara. Finally he looked at Sarah for a minute then cracked a big grin. "Well you are adults, and I doubt I could keep you two apart even if I put one of you in a bunker, so Chiara you decide where you'll sleep." At this point he gave the lovebirds a stern look, "Just try to keep it down because I need my beauty sleep okay?"
They all laughed and Marc led Chiara up to his room. It was pretty typical of a guy's room, Xbox and TV, computer desk, a dresser and queen bed. He also had some posters up of scantily clad girls on his walls. Chiara wasn't surprised to see that they were all of petite girls, not at all like the busty babes most guys would have had.
Marc's arms went around Chiara from behind and he kissed her on the neck just under her ear. Chiara felt shivers race up her spine and she smiled up at him.
"Whoa loverboy, no need to rush things we've got all weekend," she said in a slightly husky voice.
"I know pixie-girl," Marc said as he hugged her tight. "I just can't get enough of you. You're like a drug to me and I'm addicted."
There was a soft knock on Marc's door and Annie slipped into the room.
Chiara could tell that she was holding back laughter and asked her what was so funny.
Annie burst into peals of laughter, "You're funny shrimp, I almost couldn't keep a straight face when you told mom how you and Marc met. And you called me a lying bitch. Priceless!"
"But I didn't lie did I? I just didn't tell all of the truth."
Marc chuckled, "You do have a point Kiki, technically you were telling the truth."
Annie flopped onto Marc's bed and laughed again, "The funny thing was that she was so scared and nervous, but when the chips were down she pulled it off like a pro! God Kiki you should be an actress after that performance."
Marc and Chiara started to laugh, which only set Annie off again and soon the three of them were crying they were laughing so hard. Marc's Mom peeked her head in the door and told them that his dad had gone to pick up some Chinese food. She asked if Chiara liked Chinese.
"Mom, Chiara's a total omnivore she'll eat anything." Annie smirked.
Marc and Annie looked at each other and said in unison, "as long as it's tasty!"
That set them all off again, and Sarah just shook her head and left them to their own devices.
Annie smiled at Marc and Chiara, "Well it looks like she passed the parent test bro. You should be honoured Kiki, our folks have certain ideas about the people we date. They don't really tell us outright, but if a person meets their expectations we know. Like when Dad said it was ok for you to sleep with Marc. That's never happened before."
"Tell me about it Annie, I was expecting a whole lecture from him."
"Well just for the record your parents passed the Chiara test. They're pretty cool, I think your mom wants to keep me."
Annie grinned again, "That's never happened before either."
Dinner came and they headed down to the kitchen and piled their plates before sitting at the table. Sarah asked if she could say grace before they ate. Brett, Annie and Marc looked a bit surprised but everyone agreed and took hands. Sarah did the old standard grace but surprised all of them when she asked God to bless Chiara for bringing Annie and Marc back together again. Chiara blushed again and Annie was grinning at her discomfort.
After dinner they all went to the family room to watch a movie. Brett and Sarah were cuddled up on one sofa while the kids all cuddled under a blanket on the other. Chiara was sandwiched between Marc and Annie. Half way through the opening credits she felt a hand start to unbutton her jeans and open the zipper. She leaned over to Marc and quietly asked him what he thought he was doing. He smiled and kissed her, telling her to enjoy the movie as he slipped his hand into her panties. His fingers gently spread Chiara's lips and found her hard little clit and he began to strum it slowly.
His teasing was starting to get to her and Chiara grabbed Annie's thigh and squeezed it hard. Annie looked at her and slipped her hand across Chiara's belly then down into her panties to join Marc's hand. Annie leaned close to Chiara's ear and kissed it, then started whispering dirty little nothings into it. With both of their hands working her Chiara couldn't concentrate on the movie, she was trying her best not to squirm and be quiet but every now and then she'd let out a little squeak.
Sarah looked over at them and asked if everything was okay. Marc said they were fine but Chiara's belly was upset from eating too much Szechuan beef. She asked if Chiara needed anything to settle her stomach, but she told Sarah she was fine as Marc and Annie were rubbing her belly better. Chiara even managed to let out a couple of small burps.
Chiara couldn't believe Marc and Annie were feeling her up right in front of their parents! Annie had her fingers in Chiara and Marc kept twiddling her clit. Chiara made it until about two thirds of the way through the movie before she gasped and bit her hand, trying to hold back the scream in her throat. When she was done cumming she kissed them both and thanked them.
Sarah looked over to them again, "Feeling better now sweetie?"
"Much better now thanks." Chiara said as she blushed.
They finished watching the movie and everyone headed up to bed. Marc and Chiara changed into their pj's and she was sitting on the bed when Annie came into the room grinning like the Cheshire cat.
"What are you grinning about?" Chiara asked.
"Well I just wanted to let you guys know that I had fun tonight."
Chiara giggled and said they were both evil and she was going to get them back.
