Chapter 49: Christmas Dinner.

25th December 2015, Friday.

(It's Christmas, and that means a special dinner. You and your family reach Sara's house for the Christmas supper.

After your dad rings the doorbell, Sara gleefully opens the door)

Sara: Merry Christmas! (She hugs you and your mom)

Dad: Merry Christmas Sara.

Sara: Please come in! (As you three enter Mrs.Gomez strides in the foyer, dawning a gorgeous red dress)

Mrs.Gomez: Ah right on time George, as always.

Jay: Auntie you are looking ASTONISHING. (She blushes a little)

Mrs.Gomez: Aw cut it out Jay.

Mom: No he's right, Amy that dress is gorgeous and of course you are too.

Mrs.Gomez: Thank you Lily, Now please take a seat.

Mom: I brought some Indian dishes.

Sara: Ah my favorite.

Mom: Does John need help in the kitchen?

Mrs.Gomez: He's a chef Lily, that's his job. Now sit down-

Mom: No- I should help him. (She jogs towards the kitchen)

Mrs.Gomez: There she goes- as always. You can never tell that woman to relax.

Jay: Mom's dictionary doesn't have that word.

(She laughs)

Mrs.Gomez: Okay will you guys sit or not? (You and your dad take a seat, he sits on the lounging chair and you melt into the soft sofa, Sara seating next to you)

What would you like to drink today George?

Whiskey? Champagne..?

Dad: I'll take wine please.

Mrs.Gomez: Classy as always. And Jay?-

Dad: He doesn't drink.

Mrs.Gomez: ..I know. I was just asking if he would like some juice, and George he can answer for himself no? Also he's seventeen! nothing wrong with a little bit of alcohol. unless he doesn't want to of course.

Jay: It's fine-

Mrs.Gomez: Oh wait- Actually I received a really great bottle of wine from a school committee member, it's not very alcoholic and really good for the skin! I'm bringing two glasses of that. For you two, well four. For Sara and me as well. (She walks towards the bar and out of the earshot of you three)

Dad: You shouldn't drink Sara, it's not good for you.

Sara: Oh I don't drink, I don't like the taste. But this one is actually very delicious.

Jay: I mean, wine is just grape juice. It should be fine. (Your dad shoots you a look, he clearly wants to say something but bites his tongue as Mrs.Gomez comes back.)

Mrs.Gomez: Here. (She offers everyone a glass)

Cheers!

Jay: If you insist. (You chug it down)

Oh wow- it's very.. tasty?

Mrs.Gomez: Told you.

Dad: Have you drank alcohol before?

Jay: Not really? Like Sara I don't really like the taste.

Dad: You and Sara have a lot in common..

(You can hear the smile in his voice and something felt a little off but you get distracted as your Mom and Mr.Gomez come into the foyer)

Mr.Gomez: Some platters!
