Chapter 507: 506 Gifts
Gabe
I watched Summer look at my dad in confusion before she saw his reaction and reached to touch her neck and even I saw the color drain from her face and the only thing left on her horrified face was red as she bolted back towards Kel’s room.
I saw my dad begin to poke his head in causing me to quickly jump into my sweats and land just as Summer ran into Kel’s room and slammed the door just as his head could poke in and turn to watch Summer dash from embarrassment.
He saw me and looked from me to the door before a smile was on his face, "Collar your work?"
I knew my face was red from embarrassment but smiled as I shrugged trying to play it off, "Surprised she put it on."
That made him laugh.....and laugh....and laugh.
He looked over at the open boxes and the spread of food still on the table. He sighed, "Well I was going to invite you kids over for breakfast before we started opening presents but it looks like...."
I quickly spoke, "Summer cooked."
He nodded, "Summer cooked you...."
I understood what he was implying, "Kel was in the shower when," I waved my hand at everything on the counter, "this," I pointed towards Kel’s room and my neck, "and that happened."
He nodded his smile and look never leaving his face, "Ah."
He looked at the door one last time before he looked at me and winked mischievously, "Well quickly eat and come over to open presents. I can only hold back your sisters for only so long so if I were you I’d hurry."
I nodded, "Right."
He chuckled one last time before he turned and left.
I sighed out after I knew he was out ear shot, "Jesus that was close."
Summer walked out minus the collar and was still red from obvious embarrassment.
I looked at her and lightly wondered if she did that on purpose or was helping avoid suspicion for anything.
At least it helped sell the idea that Summer and I were only an item with her gift for me hanging around her neck, definitely misdirecting any future ideas.....I hoped.
I smiled, "Was that on purpose?"
Summer still red grumbled, "Forgot it was still there."
I walked up and wrapped my arm around her lightly chuckling, "Well thank you for taking the bullet."
Summer smiled at me but was still red, "I don’t think I can look your dad in the eyes ever again."
I chuckled, "Hey Kel you dressed?"
Kel poked her head out, "Yes" she looked around, "Is he gone?"
I nodded and smiled, "Well you heard dad we should head over to the house or the chitlins are gonna tear through everything."
I groaned as I saw the collar still around her neck, "And take that off."
Kel touched her neck and smiled, "Sorry. Give me a second and I’ll be ready."
I smiled and leaned down to kiss Summer as she kissed me back before I stood up and walked off to the table so I can get some food in my stomach.
We walked into the main house as Summer pretty much hid behind me trying to cover her face away from my dad’s smile when he saw her.
Yep Summer has officially embarrassed herself in front of my dad to where I need to make sure there wasn’t any rope randomly laying around so Summer doesn’t try to hang herself when dad now smiles at her.
I wrapped my arm around Summer making her stand next to me as I dropped a literal bag of presents I had hiding in my closet while Kel had her own bag of presents and Summer....well Summer carried her presents in her hands like a commoner.
Not saying that she didn’t plan on a bag for presents but it was clear she only bought presents for us and not the family.
Normally I would have brought all the presents over and had them under the tree but a few years back Samantha and Jasmine decided to open their presents causing a new tradition to put the presents to be put under the tree at the last moment.
I would have brought my presents over last night but I decided against it and instead banged both Summer and Kel until the stroke of midnight.
So we walked in with enough presents I might as well should have walked in with a big ass red bag for all the goodies we had.
I set my bag down and looked at mom who was in her customary Mrs Claus outfit while dad sat in just red pajama bottoms and the girl’s....well they were bouncing looking at the presents as they decided which gift they were going to open first.
I looked at mom and dad as I sat down pulling Summer into my lap as I spoke, "Let’s get our gift on."
Kel moved off to a different chair setting down her gift bag.
Samantha and Jasmine got excited upon hearing the magic words.... they get to open their gifts.
Right when Jasmine reached in to go after her desired gift dad spoke, "Uh uh Jasmine you know the rules."
Jasmine looked at her dad for a moment before nodding and reaching under the tree and looked at the gifts. The first one she grabbed she walked over to Kel and set it in her lap with a smile, "This gift is for you sis."
Kel smiled.
Samantha reached in and did the same walking over to dad and handing him a gift.
Then Jasmine reached in and set it in front Samantha.
Samantha grabbed one for mom. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Then they grabbed one for me.
And finally Jasmine reached for her desired gift.
With our gift in front of us we all smiled at one another.
