Christmas Special - Home for the Holidays (2020)
Alex and Taylor got out of the dark green SUV and walked up the stone path to the front door of the vanilla colored house. The beams of the sunlight deflected off the glass of the windows and the snow on the ground. Alex smiled and held his girlfriend's hand as they approached the entrance to his parent's house.
"You ok?" Taylor asked looking over at her boyfriend who had stopped holding her hand to wipe the sweat against his jeans.
This past year had been quite a wild ride for Alex -- and probably many more people. He was spacing out thinking of what his family would do meeting his girlfriend for the first time and what they would think of her.
"What? Oh ya im fine. Just a little nervous." He replied grabbing her hand once again before ringing the doorbell.
"I should be the nervous one. Im the one meeting your family for the first time! Or is it that you are worried your family will find out you like to be your girlfriend's little sex slave?" Taylor said back with a giggle.
"Hey don't joke about that. That's our personal life and not their business." Alex snapped back proving that was his concern.
Just then the front door opened allowing some snow to fall off the house. They were then greeted by Alex's mother who was wearing a nice and slightly tight light pink sweater along with a pair of jeans which showed off her surprisingly good figure and an apron. Her dirty blonde hair was about shoulder length with a few strands over her green eyes.
"Alex! Its so good to see you! And you must be Taylor! We have heard so much about you. It is nice to finally meet!" Ms. Klinc said giving them both hugs before ushering them inside and closing the front door.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you as well Ms. Klinc." Taylor said with a smile.
"Oh please Taylorcall me Felicia." Ms. Klinc said returning Taylor's smile.
"Is everyone home already?" Alex asked as he heard noise from the kitchen.
"Your father is at work and will be home soon. Paul is in the basement and Audrey is in the kitchen helping out with dinner. Maxwell went out a little while go he should be back in a bit" his mother replied as they walked into the dinning room which was connected to the kitchen.
They could see from an open counter section in the wall which linked the dinning room and the kitchen that a short light blonde girl with long braided hair who turned out to be Alex's sister was hard at work in the kitchen.
"Hey bro! Oh is this her?" she said looking up from what she was doing.
"This is my girlfriend Taylor, Taylor this is Audrey my little sister" Alex said introducing the two to one another.
"Hi there, what you making?" Taylor said trying to be friendly as she walked into the kitchen followed by Alex's mother.
Alex headed over to his bedroom with his and his girlfriend's luggage placing it all in the corner of the room for them to sort out later. He then made his way down to the basement to see his brother as the three women began to chat away about dinner. He opened a door revealing the wooden stairs that lead down to the basement. Alex walked down the steps hearing the sounds of a videogame getting louder and louder. Finally he walked into the finished basement to see his brother Paul playing one of his many first person shooters and yelling into his headset.
"Hey you busy?" Alex joked as he leaned against the doorframe.
"I was till this little camping bitch killed me for the hundredth time. Little prick." Paul said taking off the headset and putting down the controller.
"Gotta hate those campers" Alex chuckled as he sat down on the couch next to his brother.
"So how you been man? Hows college?" Paul asked as he left the game lobby and turned to his older brother.
"Its exactly what you would expect. The same as high school but more expensive and they don't care about you." Alex replied bluntly with a sigh.
"At least you got all the college girls. Hey where is she anyway? Weren't you bringing a girl over?" Paul asked.
"Ya she up stairs with mom and Audrey." Alex assured Paul who had heard of her on more then one occasion.
"Well what are we waiting for? I wanna see this fine piece of booty you got in person!" Paul said jumping up from the couch.
Alex followed Paul up the stairs almost racing him to the kitchen. When they had both gotten to where their mother, sister, and Taylor were they saw that their other brother Maxwell had come back and was snacking on some carrots that had been put on the table as an appetizer.
"Hey Maxwell!" Alex and Paul said as the wrestled each other to get into the dining room before the other.
"Hey little brothers." Maxwell replied taking a loud snapping bite from another carrot.
"And that is my youngest son over there Paul." Ms. Klinc said nodding her head to the boys as she continued to cook.
"Its nice to finally meet you after all that my brother has said about you." Paul said as he walked up to Taylor and kissed her hand making the girl blush.
"How polite." Taylorresponded with a giggle looking back at her boyfriend who was smiling.
Just then their father Mr. Klinc opened the front door and walked inside greeting the family one by one before being introduced to his second oldest son's new girlfriend. After pleasantries had been exchanged and the dinner as prepared they all sat town to enjoy the meal that Felicia and Audrey had made. Over the meal Alex and Taylor told the story of how they met and how school was and what they were each studying before the conversation got more diverse.
"This is a wonderful dinner, Thank you Ms. Klinc and thank you too Audrey." Taylorcomplemented.
