The pleasure is all mine

“So, Cynthia, are you in college?” Eric asked as he reached for his drink, looking intensely at the stranger in his home.

Cynthia nodded with a smile, squeezing John’s hand under the table as she answered. “Yeah, well, I took a year off after failing my last semester, but I am in college. I’m unsure what to do with my future at times, but for now, I’m thinking maybe animal husbandry, or maybe something else, I just want to be able to work outside.”

“Aah, good, good. John should learn from that. Well, he seems to be already doing so, getting out of his room and all that,” Brenda teased her son as she added to the conversation.

“Hey! I loved going outside until dad and I stopped going camping together,” John defended himself with a small scowl. Not missing the slightly regretful look his father and mother shared.

“I like you, geekyness and all, John.” Cynthia patted his hand to a soft aww from his mother and father.

“Thanks, Cyn, love you,” John replied, kissing her to a louder aww from the parental couple. “Could you not?” John asked his parents barely containing his laughter, his parents looking at them so intently he thought he had grown a second head.

“Sorry, Son, no can do. You finally went and got yourself a girlfriend, and we are proud of you. This is one of the perks that come with it,” Eric teased.

“And with that, John, she asked to stay the night,” Brenda spoke up, years of marriage having put the two parents so much in line that she could almost guess what her husband was thinking. “We have to get our jokes in before you two go to your bedroom and we won’t see you till morning.”

While John’s face got redder and redder, Cynthia started to giggle uncontrollably. “Oh, come now, John. Your parents are having fun.”

“Yeah, I know, I know,” John said with a sigh. “Just, please, I met her last week, don’t scare her away,” he dramatically begged his parents much to their hilarity.

“Alright, alright. Let's go back to getting to know Cynthia then,” Brenda said as she put her hand on Eric’s arm. “So, Cyn, your parents, what do they do? Do they live around here too?”

“Ah, yeah. My mother is a manager for Olympus Inc. and my father works with her. They run the local office for one of the subdivisions. We live on the edge of town near the forest. Hence me and John meeting there, you see?”

“Aah, nice. Olympus Inc., hm? Good on them.” Eric nodded thoughtfully. “You know, I did my internship there years ago, funny. That brings back memories.” His eyes glazed over for a moment, clearly lost in his own mind.

“Very nice. Cynthia, something more practical now, and you don’t have to answer this, of course, but I know you and John have been intimate, are you on the pill? I don’t think our John is ready to be a dad yet and I know how it is to be young and in love,” Brenda continued the conversation as her husband was seemingly out of commission for a moment.

“Oh, don’t worry. My parents would kill me if they found out I was going to be a mom this soon.” Cynthia giggled as she squeezed John’s hand. “You have nothing to worry about. While me and John have fun, we will make sure you won’t become a grandma yet.”

Brenda nodded at this reply. “Good, then I’ll stop prying. You want any more info, love?” she asked as she poked Eric in his ribs, pulling him out of his contemplation.

“Oh, eh, no, dear. I’m good. Pleasure to meet you, Cynthia. You are welcome at our home anytime.” John’s dad nodded and went to finish his food.

The conversation went on about the news and small things of little importance, until, eventually, even dessert was finished.

“Well, Mom, Dad? I think Cynthia and I are going to go to my room now. See you tomorrow?” John asked as he pushed his chair back and got up. Cynthia joined him after she did the same.

“Go for it. I’ll clean up here,” Eric said with a smile. “Oh, and John, I’m proud of you. Now have fun and remember, drink lots of fluids; we wouldn’t want you to faint from having too much fun now, alright?”

Just as they rounded the corner, Cynthia called back into the dining room: “Oh, don’t worry, he will drink plenty of fluids, he’s very good at it!”

Under the laughter of his parents, John dragged his girlfriend up the stairs, a small smirk on his lips as he looked at her. “You are the worst. I’d punish you for it, but I know you would just enjoy that,” John whispered as he smacked her ass playfully.

“Damn, seen through my plans,” Cynthia replied with a giggle, pushing open the door to his bedroom, spinning around in the doorway only to get her lips caught by John’s.

John shut the door with one hand as he held her close with the second. Their tongues wrestled as Cyn let out a soft moan. They stood there, kissing like teenagers in love for a few moments, then he broke the kiss and took a few deep breaths.

“Let’s see, teasing me along with my parents, being a cute, uppity girl and trying to get me to punish you…. Add that together…” John teased, and pushed her back towards the bed, until her knees finally hit the edge and she fell backwards. “And you come to the sum that you have been a bad girl,” John tried to exhibit his dominant side, even if it went a little uneasy. Lucky for him, his girlfriend wanted the same thing he did.

“Oh? I’m sorry, sir, I promise I won’t do it again,” she said playfully, looking at him standing over her, a playful smile on her lips.

“We will make sure of that, babe. Now, let’s get started,” John said with a grin, pouncing on Cynthia and kissing her again, pressing her down into the bed.
