Penny Lane 💙

Chapter 17

Penelope sighed as she gripped Chris's hand, letting herself into her mother's house. "Hello?" She grunted as she collided with her brother, feeling him pick her up to spin her around before setting her back on her feet. "You're going to make me throw up Luke."

He laughed, looking at Chris as he held out his hand, "I'm Penelope's brother, Lucas. Everyone calls me Luke." He grinned, shaking Chris's hand enthusiastically, "it's really great to meet you."

Chris laughed, looking at Penelope, "it's great to meet you too Luke."

"Okay. Release him already." Penelope hit Luke on the arm, making him release Chris's hand as they all laughed.

"Sorry." Luke led them into the living room where he motioned to a brunette woman, "this is my girlfriend, Jen."

Penelope smiled, shaking the woman's hand, "nice to meet you. Penelope and Chris."

She nodded, blushing, "I know who you guys are."

Penelope chuckled, "I didn't know you were seeing anyone."

Luke shrugged, pointing at Chris, "seems we've both got explaining to do."

She laughed, "probably. Where is mom."

Luke sighed, "you know how she is. She's at the store. She's been freaking out since she found out Captain America was coming to her house."

Chris laughed, "well I'm not Captain America any longer. I'm just Chris."

Luke chuckled, "yeah. You tell her that."

Penelope grabbed Chris's hand, turning to him, "go get our bags and I'll show you to my childhood bedroom." She giggled at his smirk, raising one eyebrow before disappearing. She turned back to Luke who rolled his eyes, "what? Not everyday I get to make out with Captain America in my teenage bedroom." She laughed at him faking gagging as Chris came back into the house. Penelope pushed him towards the stairs, "let's go you." Penelope slammed the door behind them, pushing Chris up against the door as she kissed him.

Chris moaned, pulling her body firmly to his as he led her back onto the bed, pinning her underneath him. "We aren't having sex in here when your mom is due back any minute."

She giggled as he pulled away, leaning on his arm as he watched her. "Isn't that the thrill? Finishing before getting caught by your parents?"

Chris shook his head as he laughed, "I love you Penny Lane."

She nodded as she stood up with him, "do you even actually know what my middle name is?"

Chris laughed, bringing his hand up to her cheek, caressing it with the back of his fingers, "Penelope Sloane Edgars."

She grinned, "you do know!"

He nodded, "of course I do. I just like Penny Lane. I can stop if you like."

She shook her head as she wrapped her arms around his torso, "no. I like being your flower."

Chris nodded, "my beautiful flower."

She rested her head on his chest as she felt him kiss the top, "I love you too Chris." She pulled away when she heard her mom's car in the driveway. "Come on."

"Where is Penny!" Penelope's mom, Bridget entered the house, yelling.

Luke laughed, "she's making out with her boyfriend in her room."

Penelope hit Luke in the arm as she reached the bottom of the stairs with Chris, "shut up!" She smiled at her mom, hugging her, "hi mom." She motioned to Chris, "I'd like you to meet Chris."

Chris held his hand out to her, "Mrs. Edgars, it's nice to meet you."

"Oh, call me Bridget. Please." She wrapped him in a hug, making him laugh as he reciprocated. When she pulled away she motioned outside, "you men can go get the groceries."

Chris laughed, following Luke outside.

"Mom. I hope you didn't go overboard." Penelope sighed as she followed Bridget into the kitchen.

"I wanted to make sure there was enough to eat and everything. I'm so happy you guys are here. I haven't seen you since the beginning of the year."

"I know mama." Penelope rested her head on her mom's shoulder. "I missed you too."

***********************************************************************

"So did you guys just drive here?"

Chris looked at Bridget as they ate dinner, "yeah. Only about an hour drive, if that."

"That's great!" Bridget looked at Penelope, "and the plans for the rest of the year? Thanksgiving, Christmas?"

Penelope sighed. "Well, you have Chris and me for a few weeks if you like. Then I have work to do. Press tour and what not before my premiere in September." She shrugged, "then I don't know. We haven't discussed the holidays yet."

"Why don't you all come up to my place in Boston for Thanksgiving and Christmas." Chris smiled and shrugged, "I have plenty of rooms. You can stay for the month, or go home and come back for a few days for Christmas, whichever you like."

Bridget grinned, "I'd love that. Plenty of rooms?" She winked at Chris as he grinned, "like for babies?"

"Mom!"

Chris laughed, "yes, for babies."

Penelope groaned, looking at the smirk on Chris's face. "I hate you so much. Don't encourage her."

He shrugged, "or maybe she shouldn't encourage me."

She heard her mother and brother laugh as she looked around the table. "Everyone shut up!"
