CHAPTER 17 - MEETING THE COUSINS
Jennifer had told Jun that she had contacted Nancy about a 1 pm departure, but she had not yet let her know that the two sisters would be passengers on the flight home from Rome. When the three of them reached the airport that afternoon, Jun and Mae were in their flight uniforms ready to prepare the plane for departure. They were, of course, surprised to find two other flight attendants ready to greet them; and by chance, Jun and her sister knew them both.
"Jill!" Jun said in shock as she walked onto the plane. "What are you doing here? Are Mae and I out of a job?"
"Only for the flight home," Jill replied as she handed them each a glass of champagne.
Sandra, the other stewardess, handed them each an unlit Virginia Slims and offered them a light. "Miss Nancy said this would be a smoking flight," she said with a wink.
Mae and Jun were totally befuddled, but Jennifer, who had a broad smile on her face, took control of the situation. "We'll be in the bedroom cabin if you need us," she said as she shepherded the two sisters towards the back of the plane.

The mansion was full of activity that morning as Nancy brought in a small army of maids for hire who cleaned and polished the fixtures and prepared some of the unused bedrooms for occupancy in expectation that the cousins would stay at least a couple of nights. Out in the pool area which already had the design of a Roman villa, caterers set up tables which would be filled with Chinese and Italian delicacies for the guests to nosh on, and decorations were hung to give the backyard a Mediterranean feel. It would be a small gathering with only 9 cousins, Nancy, Ayi, and the twins. Of course, Nancy also hoped that Jennifer, Jun and Mae would arrive in time, but she kept that bit of news to herself. Whether 16 guests or 160 guests, Nancy always knew how to throw an exciting party.
Later that evening, just prior to the scheduled start of the festivities, Ling and the twins were trying on their togas. Jacob's tunic was regal in its appearance as it drooped down to just his ankles. In contrast, the female tunic was basically a tank top and miniskirt with a long flowing shawl that draped over their shoulders and covered part of the skirt - all accentuated with a silver belt and a silver laurel crown (only Jacob had the honor of a gold belt and gold crown).
"How do I look?" Lisa asked fully dressed in the costume while positioning her cigarette holder aloft in a seductive pose.
"I don't think the Romans smoked," Jacob responded as he sought to adjust his briefs under his own costume.
Lisa looked at herself in the mirror. "Well, we're gonna take some dramatic license here," she said before bringing the holder up to her lips for a sexy puff.
"I don't think the Romans used underwear," Jacob said as he held up his tunic in one hand and continued to adjust his briefs with the other.
Ling came up behind him, grabbed his underwear with both hands, and quickly pulled them down to the floor.
"Hey!" he protested as he tried to reach down and pull them back up.
"Those aren't going to remain on you for long tonight, I promise," Ling said with a giggle as she headed over towards the couch.
"What, aren't you guys wearing any?"
"Of course not," Lisa said as she pulled up her skirt while looking into the mirror, revealing a pussy that Jacob suddenly very much wanted to touch.
"Down boy," Lisa said as she gently slapped his hand away. "No time for that. You gotta save your strength for tonight."
As Lisa continued to fuss with her toga while looking in the mirror, Jacob sat down on the couch next to Ling. "So what do I need to know about the cousins?"
"Hmmm," Ling said as she rested her hand with a cigarette between her fingers on her knee. "Well, they range in age from early twenties to mid-30s. All those already in the U.S. will be here tonight except for two."
"Who's missing?" Jacob asked after lighting a cigarette.
"Jun and her sister Mae," she said before taking a puff on her 120. After opening her mouth wide and snapping it back deep into her lungs, she said with smoke punctuating every word, "They're actually in Rome with your Mom."
"Really?" Lisa asked as she turned from the mirror and walked to the mini-fridge by the wall to grab a Coke. "Why is that?"
"It's a long story," Ling said. "Your auntie has been planning this week for years. All she needed was an opportunity when your Mom would be out of the country to put it into motion." Ling took another puff, followed by a quick second pump which she French inhaled. "I'm actually relieved Jun won't be here."
"Why is that?" Lisa asked as she took a swig on a can of Coke and handed it to Jacob who took also took a drink.
"Well," Ling answered reluctantly, sorry now that she even brought Jun up, "to be honest there is a bit of a competition among the younger cousins as to who gets pregnant first."
Jacob responded by nearly spitting the soda out of his mouth. "Are you serious?"
"I know, it's pretty silly. But our village has been waiting 18 years for you to become a man and...well..."
"I get the picture," Jacob said as he took another drink of Coke and handed the can back to Lisa. "But I'd say that you already have a head start on that competition," he added with a warm smile.
Ling looked down at her belly with a smile and rubbed her hand around it.
Anything growing down there?,
she thought to herself.
"What's any of this got to do with Jun?" Lisa asked.
"Jun is the oldest among us, and the most beautiful, the most intelligent...the most of everything! When she walks into a crowded room, every man gets an erection and every woman's nipples harden."
Lisa and Jacob both burst out laughing at Ling's description.
"No, seriously!" Ling said as she also began to laugh. "If she were here tonight, there is no way you'd be able to resist her, Jacob."
"Sounds like I wouldn't want to," he said with a wink at Lisa who then punched him in the shoulder.
"Is she a good fuck?" Lisa asked.
"Jeeze, sis, what's gotten into you?" Jacob said with some astonishment.
