The boy next door

Meet the Harrison's(part 2)

We were sitting in the dinning room waiting for dinner. George and I spend ten minutes saying our favorite things to each other, like if we had forgotten. We came up with the plan of being a fake relationship. George was sat right beside me. Our parents were seated facing each other and Nick and George's older brother Peter, who was visiting that day, were seated at the head of the table.

"So,George, what do you want to be when you grow up?" My mum asked.

"A guitarist" My dad choked on his water.

"Great" My dad said.

"And, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Louise asked me.

"A writer"

"How many kids you want to have?" Mum please shut up.

"forty-three" Now I'm the one choking. Forty-three!? Not my problem. It's Kathy the one that's going to look like a cow giving birth to all those kids.

"Eleanor, do you play an instrument?" Harold, George's father, asked.

"No, I don't"

"She likes reading an awful lot dad"- He looked at me-"She's intelligent, smart, has a great sense of humor, respectful, loving, caring and everything you'll want from a bird."

Our mums awed and almost got teary eyed.

"Mum, can Nick and I go to my room?" Peter asked.

"OK, but can you bring George's photo album for me?" George choked on his water.

"On second thought, I'll get the album only. I don't want to miss this."

"Please,mum, don't humiliate me in front of these kind people." George begged.

"That's OK, George, I accept you just the way you are." I gave him a huge smile. George glared at me while our mothers awed.

"Here you go mum."Peter came back with a medium sized book in his hands.

"Thank you love. Let's begin with George's baby pictures."

This is going to be a fun night .

"And here's when he got his first bath." Louise said.

I was about to burst out laughing, but I didn't want George to feel humiliated more than he is now.

"OK mum, time to put it away." George took the book and went up to his room.

"I'll go look for him." I went up the stairs and knocked on his door.

"Go away"

I went into the room. He was sitting on his bed, head in hands. I sat next to him.

"I feel so humiliated." He said

"Hey, don't be. You looked cute."

"You think they believed us?"

"I think they do."

"Kids come down, the Johnson's are leaving." I was going to leave the room when George stopped me.

"That speech I said about you, it was all true."

I didn't say a word. I walked downstairs with George behind me. My parents were thanking the Harrison's for a nice dinner. I said my goodbyes to George's parents and Peter.

"Aren't you going  to  say goodbye to George?" Mum asked me.

"It's ok. You can kiss in front of us." Louise said.

"No it's fine"-George replied-"We don't need to kiss or any-"

I kissed him. It wasn't any kiss. It was a symbol of a thank you. My parents would kill me if I was seeing another person. I got to the front door and found a bouquet of red roses with a note.

"Roses are reds
Violets are blue"

"Sugar is sweet
And so are you"
