Becoming

Chapter 28

My parents have been hosting Christmas lunch for the past 6 years. I must say I love having all my family members over. To accommodate everyone my mom decided to cook variety of food, because not everyone is Vegan.

I introduced Greg to almost everyone and they seem to like him, why wouldn't they, he's amazing. My baby cousins call me to play with them to which I agree to and I catch Greg stealing glances with a wide grin. After about thirty minutes of playing with the kids I decide to take a break.

"Well you caught a real one there Anna" My Aunt Rachel says sipping her wine. "What do you mean Aunt Rachel? I smile at her." That Greg guy is a hot one" she laughs. "Reminds me of this fella I use to date back when I could still get jiggy with it" she laughs again.

"You are not that old, you can still get jiggy with it I'm sure" I smile at her. "Oh honey I know I look young, but these bones are 59" she chuckles. "Well I think for a 59 year old woman you are stunning and should definitely get back in the dating game" I smirk causing her to laugh even louder. I can tell she is a bit drunk from the wine.

"Mom you've had enough" My cousin Xander takes the glass away from her. "Oh son come on" she wines, but doesn't protest. Xander makes a sour expression, before going back to where Greg and my other male cousins are sitting.

"Do you wanna go lie down?" I ask her, but she shakes her head and says she's okay. My cousin Gwen stands up and announces that it's time to open gifts. The opening of gifts is my job. So I stand by the tree where the gifts are neatly placed and handout to who a specific gift is for.

The rest of the afternoon is nothing, but joy and laughter. As the evening approaches we begin to tidy up and people start leaving. After exchanging goodbyes with everyone we make it back to the house, which is now quiet.

"Rachel drank a bit too much" Mom laughs as she soaks the kitchen cloths. My dad and Greg are watching Rugby and I have to say, since their talk last night my Dad seems more laid back around Greg. "Yeah, but it's Christmas she can live a little" I chuckle while putting the dishes in the dishwasher.

I make popcorn just enough for everyone, because my mom suggested that we all watch a movie before calling it a night. Tomorrow is Greg and I's last day here before we get back to Cape Town so I'm spending as much time as I can with my parents.

During the movie Greg's phone keeps lighting up and I know I shouldn't be stealing glances to read, but who's texting him. "who keeps texting you?" I silently ask looking over at my parents to make sure they don't hear us. "No one" he says then places his phone down. "It can't be no one if they have been sending texts since the movie started" my voice is a bit higher and I notice my dad looking at us before he focuses on the screen again.

I choose to let this go, for now. Soon  the movie ends and to be honest I wasn't focusing on what was happening, because I keep thinking about who Greg was texting. After saying goodnight to my parents I turn around to look at Greg who's ready to head to the room he's sleeping in.

"So?" I ask folding my arms. He raises a brow. "Don't start Anna, it was just Chris. He was sharing how he spent Christmas" he says rubbing his eyes. "Then why did you say it was no one?" I press again. I know I'm probably annoying right now, but why didn't he just say it was Chris earlier.

"Because it's not that deep. Babe come on " he says stepping away from me. "Okay fine, let's drop it" I walk away from him headed for my bedroom. I hear him following me and enter my bedroom. "You're not supposed to be in here" I say getting undressed. "I've been craving you all day" he pulls me towards him.

"Greg, come on go back to your room" he unclasps my bra, making it fall to the ground. He pulls me down to kiss him and I can't help the moan that escapes my mouth. "We'll be quiet" he slowly pulls down my underwear and turns us around pinning me down the bed opening both my legs.

His eyes are full of lust and I can't help the knot I'm feeling in my stomach. I want him, I want him now. "Tell me what you want" he says moving his hand up and down my thigh. I suck my bottom lip. "You" I half moan. "Me? I'm right here" he teases.

"Dammit Greg you know what I mean" I give him a deadly stare. He chuckles a bit then begins to do his thing. I can't believe I'm having sex in my parent's house when they are just in the other room.
