The Kissing Booth Why Now?

81. THANKSGIVING *

After finishing up at the dinner and arriving home I ran into my house and grabbed the outfit I was wearing tomorrow along with packing a bag to take to Noah's and went downstairs placing my stuff by the door. Austin walks up to me "where are you going gorgeous?" "Don't worry about it." I walk into the kitchen where all the women are and I could tell that they had already started making the stuffing. Lucky for us Mrs. Lawson had thought about boiling the giblets and neck while we were making the pies so they had already chopped up the neck meat and liver putting in the dry stuffing with some onions and rubbed sage. The broth was boiling from the giblets with butter and I joined Becs by the sink washing the turkeys. She smiled up at me "why don't you do what needs to be done with spices." I nod and grab the first bird placing it in the pan since it already has the super-duty aluminum foil in it and start rubbing it with salt and rubbed sage inside and out. I kept on doing that with each bird until all three birds were done and waiting to be stuffed. It was at that point my Aunt Rhonda walks in "uhm Elle I put your stuff back in your room." I looked at her "what stuff." "The clothes by the door." "I am not staying here." "Well, since you have guests you should really stay here. Plus what would your boyfriend say?" My mom looks at her "oh, Rhonda we told Elle she could stay with Noah since he leaves on Sunday."

"Wait, you knew she was spending the night somewhere else." "Yes, Max and I did. Since Elle and Noah are engaged and they understand that their future is at stake and are not active right now we let them share a room when he is home." "Wait, shit I am sorry. I was told she was sneaking out." Everyone laughed "no, she has our permission plus when she is not with Noah she is with Lee." "Her fiance is fine with her sleeping with another guy." I giggle and start stuffing the birds with Becs since our moms had finished mixing the stuffing with the broth. "Yes, seeing as Lee is his baby brother and my bestie. Plus Lee and I no longer share a bed. He sleeps in his room and I sleep in Noah's room whether he is home or not for mine and Lee's sleepovers." June laughed "yeah, Noah so hated your two's sleepovers before you two started dating. I know now he would hit the roof." I laughed "hello, remember when he realized that Lee and I were changing in front of each other at the beach house." My mom laughed "yeah, and when you explained how Lee would turn his back while you changed so you could make sure he didn't peak and vice versa he was relieved but said it needed to stop." Patrice snorted "or how about that free show that Lee gave you in Texas."

Noah walked in glaring "I thought we agreed to never bring that up again." I laughed and pointed to the turkeys and he nodded picked up one placed in the oven while he was doing the second one Lee walked in "hey twin where is your stuff." Aunt Rhonda looked at Lee "I didn't realize she had permission to spend the night and took it to her room." "Ah, ok I will go and get her stuff." Lee left and Noah grabbed the last turkey and looked at his mom "the oven is on right." "Yep." "OK, see you, ladies, there." Noah walked out carrying the turkey "you coming babe." "No, I will wait for Lee." "OK, see you soon Shelly baby." He left and it wasn't long after we hear "I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE GET THE HELL OUT OF MY BESTIES ROOM!" We all run upstairs and there is Lee shoving Austin out of my room "what the hell were you doing in my daughter's room." I watch my dad stalk Austin "look I just want my shot." I look around "is that why you told Aunt Rhonda I was sneaking out." "Yes, plus you have company you should be home not acting like a slut." My dad glared at him "Well you just made my decision easier for me."

He turned to me "you pack a bag for two weeks. You will be staying at the Flynn's until they find their own place." I look around my mom smiles "yeah, we were going to tell you all tomorrow but your uncle was offered a position to come back and he jumped at the chance when he realized I returned. We offered them all the spare rooms until they can get their own place. Since Austin is living with them he will be staying here as well." My uncle walks up "oh, no he won't. Once Thanksgiving is over he will be on the first plane to Paris and he can go live with his damn parents." I look around "guys don't do this for me. I can just stay at the Flynn's and close to Lee and the crew." My uncle shook his head "no, sweetie it isn't just because of you. He has also been giving your cousin a hard time." I look around "uhm, June and Mathew have a spare room. Well, it is my room but since Noah and I got engaged I don't use it anymore she can have that one."

All the adults nod "yeah, but what about Becs." I look at my cousin "well she is going home with her parents tonight." She nodded "yeah, I was just spending the night here because we were having a girls' day." "Ah, ok." It was settled and my cousin packed a bag and I finished packing and it wasn't long before the three of us along with June headed to their house. I looked at Lee "I will tell him, keep your mouth shut." My cousin looked at me "tell who?" "Noah. Dork here doesn't know how to talk to his brother and if he tells Noah Austin might end up in the hospital and Noah behind bars." She nods and I head straight to our room and walk in. Noah looks up and glares at me "ok what happened?" "Know that I am safe and wasn't in any real danger." "Ok." "As you know Aunt Rhonda thought I was sneaking out, so she took my clothes up to my room and Lee went to get them." "Yeah, to spend the night with me." "Well after you left Lee started yelling about someone being in my room and for them to get out that he didn't care who he was."

Noah started passing back and forth "let me guess it was Austin." "Yep." "He cooked up making you stay home so he could assault you." "He said it was to get his shot." Noah started cracking his knuckles and I ran and wrapped my arms around him "I will talk to Max about you staying here till I leave. I know he wants you to stay at home with your family here but not as long as Austin is in that fucking house." I giggle "this is not fucking funny Shelly." I look up at him "my dad is way ahead of you." I point to my bag and he smiles seeing it is my bag for the beach house. "I am glad Max thought I would want you safe." "Well, he won't be staying here. My uncle is sending him to his parents. Seems he has also been harassing my cousin she is staying here and in my old room." He looks at me "I hope she doesn't try to come between us because if she does she can go stay at your house with the perv."

I giggle and cuddle into his side and smirk "I need a shower." "OH, well let me help you with that." We head to the bathroom and are soon bathing each other after we pleasured each other. Yes, we both desperately want to make love but we agree we are going to wait until the wedding to truly enjoy each other but there are other ways to make each other very happy. Once we were clean and ready for bed we cuddled up and drifted off to sleep. We were woken up at eight o'clock in the morning. Noah looked at me and I giggled taking off his sophomore year jersey and pulled on a bra and one of his t-shirts along with a pair of leggings. He came up and wrapped his arms around me from behind "thank you, baby." "No problem Noah. Plus I do not want to give you a reason to put him through a wall." He smiled "good." We went downstairs and ate the breakfast our dads picked up from the diner and chowed down. Once we were done and the guys cleaned up our mom's started basting the turkeys again for the second time. They also put the hams in the ovens so they would be ready when the turkeys were done. I started peeling the potatoes with my cousin and I watched as June and my aunt was peeling the sweet potatoes. My mom walked in again followed by Patrice, Becs, and Mrs. Lawson.

"Ok, where do you want us ladies." June gave out the assignments and soon we were all working on getting the sides started. Kimberly looked at me "uhm, I spoke to Patrice last night and she told me that I better not go after Flynn your fiancee, and explained what has happened to you two and I want you to know I would never go after your man. Plus to be honest I don't mind the muscles or the athletic type but I am not crazy about a guy that is a bad boy. I like the good shy boys." I started thinking and giggled and closed my eyes. "Uhm, Elle. Earth to Elle." "Wait, a second Kimberley." "Why?" "She is linking my man, her bestie." "Huh." "Remember what we told you all last night." "ah. OK." Lee walks in "you need me, twin." I smirk look at Kimberley, and then Lee and he smiles "nice twin I think so as well." He smiles "I have an idea for the other yahoos minus Austin." We stare at each other and it went a little something like this.

"Twin I need you." "Coming?" "You need me, twin?" "I think we should set up Kimberley with McTavish. Since she likes guys like Noah with the exception of the bad boy image." "Nice I think so as well. I have an idea for those other yahoos minus Austin." "Who are you thinking?" "For Lincoln Susan from your team. He says he likes a girl that can hold her own and plays sports. For Sebastian, I was thinking of your goalie Thompson because he loves a girl that can kick ass. As for Orion, I was thinking Lucy Swanson since she is a bookworm and he loves the quiet nerdy type." Lee and I started cackling and Patrice shook her head "are you going to tell the rest of us what is going on." I look at her and wink and she shakes her head "you two are no fair. Babe go back to the guys and no more secret conversations around the rest of us if you are not going to tell. Especially if you call each other into the damn room." I cackle and pull out my phone texting her we will tell you later it is a secret for my cousins." Once her phone goes off she rolls her eyes and texts back "you two are at it again playing matchmaker." I wiggle my eyebrows and she just shakes her head "have fun."
