"Head's up!" My Dad yelled as the sleeping bag roll crashed into the side of my head, knocking my sunglasses askew.
"Ass Munch!" I bellowed, "Those are frickin' expensive shades, dude!"
My Dad, Morgan, laughed heartily as he continued to unload the back of the van. He had set up a week long get-a-way for all of the family in Colorado at a mountainside home of one of his friends that owned a place in Vail. We never got together much anymore since I had graduated college and my younger sister was just about to do so. In addition, I had brought my long-time girlfriend, Holly and my sister was with her fiancΓ©, Jeff.
"Grayson, can you help me with getting these bags upstairs?"
"Sure, Ma," I yelled, "Be right there!"
I bounded up the short rise of stairs into the massive foyer of the house and momentarily paused, taking it in. My parents were very well off, and had a nice home in Highland Village, TX, but this sucker was awesome. The floors were done up in an ornate marble, all of the trim work was hand carved, we were told. The ceilings were well over twenty feet high and the windows stretched from floor to ceiling. As you took the short three steps down into the sunken formal living room, you could look out onto the heated patio deck and see the huge hot tub that overlooked a majestic view of the mountains. The house was well over 10,000 square feet. Breathtaking, I thought.
I broke off my stare and turned back to the bags that were piled by the entrance and grabbed what I could and headed upstairs. I marched into the master bedroom and struggling mightily under the weight, threw down the bags onto the floor. The master bedroom was bigger than my apartment in Vegas. There was a separate sitting area from the actual bedroom, which had a large fireplace and entertainment center with a huge T.V. The bathroom was massive, with complete walk in closets for him and her, gorgeous marble pieces throughout and a tub that looked like it would hold a basketball team. The French doors in the bedroom area led out to a humongous patio that wrapped around the side of the house and afforded spectacular views from all directions of the snow capped mountains.
"Mom, you packed for a month!" I complained, collapsing on the king size bed. My mom, sister, and my girlfriend came out from the master bathroom, where they were putting away toiletries. I had the best looking mom, period. All throughout high school, both mine and my sisters' friends raved about how hot our mom was. My mother is a Filipina, short, about 5'2", and I would guess about 100lbs. Her straight, jet black hair runs down to the middle of her back, and even at 46 years, she looks much, much younger. Her features are very cinematic (if that is a way to describe how someone looks, I don't know), full lips, long neck, very toned body, which is my father's influence, since he is a fitness junkie. She, like most women, is very vain when it comes to her appearance, and although she won't admit it, has had some work done, cosmetically. I guess you just don't grow a set of full C's overnight, huh?
My sister, Grace, looked exactly like my father, with some Asian influence. Grace was set to graduate college in the spring and take a position with an accounting firm in Boston. She was the All-American college girl, sorority house president, cheerleading captain (she went to college on a cheerleading scholarship, and was trying out for the pro football team's cheerleading squad), and she had definitely morphed into a stark raving beauty, and she had recently dyed her hair a deep blonde. It contrasted well with her Asian features, in my opinion. I thought about how lucky her fiancΓ©, Jeff was. Not that I was jealous of him, but that Grace really had it going on for herself.
Holly was the love of my life. I met her when I had freshman orientation at the university that we attended, and we have been together ever since, through our undergrad years and my masters degree. I think that she is trying to be patient with me as she wants a ring on her finger, but, career first, I thought. Holly is nearly as tall as I am, 5'10", and is a tow-headed blonde. Her long, muscular legs and pretty feet are my favorite parts of her, but she has a nice ass and an appealing B size rack to go along with the package.
"Grayson, you are so lazy!" Grace laughed, slapping my leg, "Where is all of MY luggage!"
"Grace, the movers are on their way with another semi load just for you!" Jeff leaned against the door of the master bedroom, looking spent. "I have spent the last thirty minutes lugging your bags up two flights of stairs, I am worn out!"
"You poor baby!" Grace moved into him, kissing his lips and giving him a hug.
Jeff was a good guy. My Dad, Mom and I all liked him; he treated my sister well, and had already landed a six figure income in Boston where he and my sister are to set up house in the spring once they both graduate and right after their wedding, which is scheduled for April of this year.
"Hey y'all, that is it, all of the camping gear is in the garage, the luggage is in the house and I think that we need to head into town for a big, fat steak!" My Dad announced, appearing at the door to the bedroom. At the mention of the steak, dad grabbed Holly in a bear hug, as he knows that she is a vegetarian, as she giggled and wrinkled her nose at him.
Less than thirty minutes later, we all convened downstairs and headed off to dinner. I didn't realize just how hungry we all were as the six of us plowed through a four course meal and hardly even spoke one word to each other.
We were gone from the house for less than two hours and I think that we were all a little charged up still; at least I know that I was. Dad suggested that we grab some wine and jump into the hot tub, to which we all agreed, and parted ways to get some suits on.
Holly and I were the first ones down to the hot-tub, my dad had already gotten the water jets going and the steam was boiling off of the top of the water. It was January in Colorado, so you can imagine how cold it was outside, but the house had a heated deck, making it comfortable to walk about barefooted, and the water made it very nice.
Holly dropped the robe that she had covering herself and I sucked in my breath.
