I intended to submit this at Thanksgiving but...(hey, we are trying to get caught up.)
Since it is (was) near Thanksgiving we thought we would tell you about the first Thanksgiving with our families after we built the house. This story may not be hot and steamy enough for everyone but enjoy it; it leads to many things that will happen later you will need to know about.
Life after the Lottery, Ch. 10
Thanksgiving with the family
It was the Monday before Thanksgiving; Dawn had called our families before Halloween to invite them to the house. Dawn's parents were flying in; my family all lived within driving distance but far enough away that they didn't show up unannounced. My parents were coming, my younger brother and his wife, and my older sister and her husband. They were all due to arrive on Wednesday, none of them had been to the house since we finished it.
Dawn's parents were in their late fifties and so were mine. My sister was just a little over a year older than me, my little brother Brian and his wife were 27, he was a little over a year out of law school. He and his wife had waited until he graduated law school to get married and they were now living in our previous house. We had given the house to them so they wouldn't have so much of a strain as he got started in his legal career, he had been lucky and found a position with a good law firm in town.
Dawn and I had discussed what to tell everyone about Amy. We decided to tell them she was living with us while she got back on her feet- which she was. Dawn and I had spent the week 'sanitizing' the house, locking away everything that didn't need to be out. I had asked Dawn how she was going to explain the tantra chairs all over the house, she decided on telling everyone they were European massage chairs and leave it at that.
Tuesday came and Dawn and Amy were busy cooking and fussing around the house. I had been working with the movie mix some while I had the time. The weather was warmer than usual so Dawn had told everyone to bring their swim suits if they wanted so we had the pool heater on.
We all got up early Wednesday morning, Dawn was leaving to go pick up her parents at the airport about 10:00. Amy was off for the week so we had all worked on cleaning the house and preparing food. Dawn had made the sleeping room assignments.
Dawn left a little before 10:00 to go pick her parents up. After she left, Amy and I sat down to rest and talk. She was dressed very conservatively in a long sleeved button up silk blouse and long pants.
"Tell me about everyone," Amy asked.
I told her that everyone had been real cool after we won all the money. My parents were pretty cool and so was my sister. I told her about my little brother and his wife and that we had given them our previous house. We were talking about everyone's personalities when I heard a car drive up. I had locked the gate open so I wouldn't have to keep letting everyone in. I went to the door, it was my sister Debbie and her husband Peter, I went out to meet them.
Debbie got out of the car and said, "Did you finally finish the castle?!"
"Yes, it's finished," I said as I walked up and hugged her.
I had always been close to Debbie growing up. Peter came around the car and shook my hand.
"Hi James!" Peter said.
"Come on in the house," I said as I led them in.
When we got inside the house Amy was standing and said, "Hi."
"Debbie and Peter, this is Amy. She is a friend of Dawn's and is living with us while she gets back on her feet," I said testing the waters with the story.
"Hi Amy," Debbie said.
Peter was staring when Debbie elbowed him.
"Oh...hi," he said.
"Have a seat, Dawn is gone to the airport to pick up her parents," I said as I closed the door.
Debbie and Peter walked over and sat on the sofa, I sat in the love seat at one end and Amy sat in the other.
"So Amy, how long have you been staying with Dawn and James?" Debbie asked.
"A few months," Amy replied. "Dawn and I are friends from work."
Debbie left it at that and asked if there was anything she could do, I told her Dawn and Amy had everything under control.
"So Pete how was the drive down?" I asked.
"The traffic is starting to get a little heavy in the city, but not too bad."
"Can we see what you two have built?" Debbie asked.
"Sure."
I led Debbie and Pete around the house and let them see everything. When we got upstairs I took them down to the end of the hall and showed them their room.
"What are the weird pieces of furniture everywhere?" Pete asked.
"Oh, it's some kind of European thing Dawn likes."
"Cool," Debbie said as she looked at it.
We went back downstairs; Amy was still sitting on the loveseat. We walked through the big room and headed outside to the patio.
"You two seemed to have thought of everything when you built this place," Debbie said.
"Well we built it as an investment for now," I said.
"Pretty nice place," Pete said as we went outside.
"Oh that hot tub looks inviting, I am stiff from the drive," Debbie said.
"Did you bring your suits?"
"They're in the car. Pete go get the bags, I want to get in the hot tub!"
"Okay," Pete said. "But I'll pass on the hot tub."
"Oh come on!" Debbie said.
"Maybe later," Pete said. "I'll go get the bags."
We went back inside and Pete and I headed to the car. Debbie was walking toward Amy as we went out the door. We retrieved the bags from the car and headed back inside, Debbie was standing alone waiting for us.
"Where did Amy go?" I asked.
"She went upstairs to change, she is going to join me in the hot tub."
'Oh shit!' was all I could think. I was imagining Amy coming down the stairs in one of her skimpy thong bikinis.
"Here, I'll take your bags up," I said hoping to catch Amy before she came out of her room.
"Thanks," Debbie replied as she followed me up the stairs.
We left Pete downstairs as I quickly carried the bags to their room. I dropped the bags on the bed as Debbie followed me in. I left the bedroom and pulled the door closed behind me.
"Amy," I whispered as I open her bedroom door.
"James?" Amy said as she finished pulling her suit up over her tits. "What is it?"
I was surprised, she was wearing a very modest one piece dark blue suit. Even with the modest suit she still looked hot with her long red hair cascading over her shoulders and down her back.
"Nothing."
"Did you just want a quick peek, or did you think I was going to be wearing one of my bikinis?"
"You look great."
"Come here a second," Amy said as she adjusted her suit.
I walked over to Amy and she reached up and wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me down to give me a deep kiss.
"What's that for?"
"Just in case I don't get another chance this weekend."
"You are wonderful."
