CH 15 Family Dinner

Adrain's POV--

I'm working under my truck changing out parts and cleaning what I can reach to access the condition of other parts when I hear the door to the house open. I slide out from under the truck to see a very angry Mika with his hands on his hips looking very unhappy with me. I sit up on my roller. "What Love?"

Mika advances toward me and I roll back a few feet to the side of the garage. "Well Adrain Love, you promised me you would only work on your truck for thirty minutes then you would shower and get the table set up while Avery and I went and picked up some last minute things for this family dinner tonight. Do you want to know how long we have been gone Love?"

I know better than to even try to answer but I can't help it, angry Mika is very sexy."More than thirty minutes I'm going to guess."

Mika looks at me unimpressed with my answer. "We have been gone for two hours and I expected the table and everything else to be done by now. But no you aren't even showered and you have grease everywhere." He glares daggers at me.

I stand up and walk towards Mika."I'm sorry I lost track of time. You know how much I love working on my truck." I wrap my arms around him only to have him yell and push me away. "Do not get grease on me. We have company showing up in thirty minutes and I still have to pull the stew off the stove and get everything ready. I don't have time to shower again."

I sigh and run one finger down the side of his neck and peck his lips quickly. "Ok Love I'm sorry I will take the quickest shower in history and help you guys everything will be fine I promise."

Mika cracks a small smile at me as I run past him to the bathroom to shower. No less than five minutes later I get dressed and go to set the table in the kitchen nook. I only have a four person table so I go put a fold up table in the living room that seats ten.

I hurry through the process of putting on a table cloth and putting some center pieces Avery brought in with him on the table. I go in the kitchen to find them both running around like the house is on fire.

I look at them and chuckle. "You guys realize we only invited family and Grey and Blaine who might as well be family. There is no need for all this fuss just calm down guys."

I get two very furious heads snapping my way. Mika lays into me first. "No love this is my first impression as your boyfriend I need to prove I can take care of you and I want everything to go smoothly."

Avery jumps in next wit his opinion. "D the first impression is extremely important do not mess this up for Mischa."

I look at my brother indigently. "Excuse me for not seeing the big fuss over a family dinner. I will be in the garage if you guys need me I did everything you guys asked me to." I start to walk away and look over my shoulder when I hear Mika call out."Do not get dirty Adrain Flores do you hear me and when that doorbell rings you better go answer it."

I shake my head as I walk back into the sanctuary of my garage. I open the hood of my truck and start messing with different parts. I'm still evaluating what can be saved and what needs to be replaced. The more I investigate the more I think this might be an easy project. I think I can get the truck finished before the summer ends if everything keeps going smoothly.

I hear the doorbell ring and groan. "Hhhmm." I walk back into the house and open the door for my parents. They looked dressed to impress. My mom is wearing a sun dress and my dad is wearing khakis with a button up. I look down at my white T-shirt and jeans and shrug my shoulders oh well. "Hi mom, Hi dad." I kiss my mom and hug my dad and wave them to follow me to the kitchen.

Mika turns around as we enter the kitchen area. "Oh hi it's nice to see you guys again." I have to hold me laugh as Mika all prim and proper shakes both there hands as the exchange pleasantries. I'm saved from Avery's death glare when the doorbell rings again.
