Good old home sweet home

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 1):

Keiko opts to follow Adam to his ranch after setting an alarm for tomorrow morning on her smartphone.

She mentions to Adam to her cook her steak[s] and any other meats around medium well and suggests they could put off the serious chatting until the meal was tabled.

Her contribution to the meal she knew Adam was cooking was frozen garlic toast, frozen mashed potatoes and brown rice.

She put a short sleeved Hawaiian shirt over her t-shirt.

She then placed her food contributions, some bottled juice and soda drinks, a container filled with water and some good tasting, medium ABV imported Chinese beer [grabbed from the Forster place] on a rolling cart if need be.

She had prettied herself by combing her hair straighter and out of her face fully ... and had added a little more make-up.

When Adam entered the kitchen, Keiko was focused on making sure she was ready to be social in a non-work setting and was closing her compact.

She soon put the object in a pocket, turned towards Adam then smiled at her host.

Note that the Forsters had both called Adam during the day concerning the airfield mostly and Keiko a little. Keiko wore very nice jewelry [necklace, plain earrings] tonight but nothing that signifies she is engaged or married. However, she had been wearing rings recently but Adam could see where the sun had lightened Keiko's skin.

Adam was brought back to reality when Keiko said "Adam, what days and hours did you need me?"

Adam shook his head a little like he was in a dazed and confused fog.
"Hmm? Oh days and hours?Sorry my mind wanders on occasion.
He let out a nervous laugh,he has never invited anyone to his Ranch before, not even his parents or siblings has ever been there. But then again when you basically fall off the planet and become an indentured servant to a psycho for a couple of years well it's hard to keep up with family.

"How about starting with 3 days week 9 to 5.  Monday, Wednesday and Friday? And if you want to get more hours you
can come in the other two days too. An hour lunch and you get 2 15 minute breaks. How does that sound?"
He turned the oven on for the garlic bread and put the brown rice and mashed potatoes in pots and got them cooking, he seasoned the potatoes with salt and butter and put butter in the brown rice. He put lids on them both and put them on low.
Putting the bread in the oven he pulled 4 steaks out of the fridge then seasoned it with garlic powder, onion powder, Cajun seasoning and salt. He let them sit while he checked on the grill and drank on the Chinese beer that Kieko brought.
Walking back in he turned the oven off and said,"Why don't you come out and keep me company while I grill our steaks? "

In reply to Keiko Forster (msg # 2):

Keiko was rummaging in the fridge and came out with some leftover chicken and put it on the cart.

When Adam responded with her hours she bowed.

After thinking for about four seconds Keiko said "I will see you tomorrow, Wednesday and Friday."

She pushed the cart out into the sunroom and commented at the grill "I trust my relations were very civil to you and your father. Also honor is important to my family."

She then planted herself in a chair and smiled. She then nibbled on some spicy flavored chips.

She then said "It is okay if you have queries for me."

While Adam took a breather and figured out a response, Keiko called her mother and in English mentioned the four day work week and the hours then rang off .. speaking in Japanese.

Adam waited until Keiko was off the phone and said,"Well that works for me."
He wrapped the chicken in some foil and placed it on the grill to warm up. He then said,"Well tell me your story. Tell me about yourself."

He put the steaks on the grill, he knew she wanted hers medium well and his is medium rare..
He took a chip and dipped it in his homemade salsa,"Try it...it's pretty good if I say so myself. All the ingredients I grew in my garden outback."

He finished off his beer then opened up a new bottle of Gentleman Jack and put ice in 2 glasses then poured somein the glasses, then added coca cola and sat the glass in front of Keiko.
He grabbed a platter and placed the foiled chicken on it then another one and put his steaks on it,he waited minutes, exactly then pulled her steaks off.

"Yeah I know I grilled you 2, hey one for lunch or s midnight snack." He placed the platter on the cart and said"Grab the drinks."
They went inside to the dining room where the table was set as well as condiments. He placed her steaks on 2 separate plates then went for the other food he made both of their plates then sat down.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 6):

Keiko plopped carefully into a seat and smiled when Adam stood up just prior to her sitting and then sitting down again.

She nibbled on steak and chicken while thinking of what to say.

She sipped from the beer she had bought and said "My name is Keiko Forster and I have no middle name. In 199X my [American father] went to London, England with my technically half-brothers Greg and Brad after an amicable divorce. Dad met [full Japanese high up there businesswoman mother] and they fell in love, got married and six months later I was conceived. Four [?] years later we relocated to Tyler."

She had more beer and food and soon continued ..

She smiled "I learned my ABCs in the English school system and I gravitated towards mechanical stuff. Eventually I learned the ABCs of car repair and [I know my way around planes]."

She then ate and drank for awhile after asking "Any more queries, Adam?"
This message was last edited by the player at 20:12, Sat 15 Apr 2023.

Adam was chowing down on his steak and listening to Keiko then she asked if he had anymore queries, he swallowed his steak and opened a soda after finishing off his Gentleman Jack and Coke, he took a swallow then cleared his throat.
He smiled at her and was glad they were eating salad or spinach, it would be all up in his teeth.
"No not that I can think of right off the top of my head. I know this probably isn't politically correct but I like to know if the people that I work with are Metas, so ate you? A meta that is?"
Adam took another swallow of his coke and wish he had some stronger right now.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 8):

Keiko was making her current portion of potatoes into a small Devil's Tower a la UHF as she asked for any questions and stopped when Adam got the query into a complete sentence.

Keiko apologized "Sorry, focused on goofing around. And yes I am a meta. Making, building and fixing mechanical stuff is my forte. I am quite dexterous as well."

She ate some potatoes while looking at Adam ..

Adam nodded his head after he finished off his coke,"Just to let you know, my hours will be kinda flaky sometimes. I'm a handler to 2 Were's.  I also manage their home from them but I have cameras set up here, in my office and st there place to keep an eye on things. Now where I don't have any sort of powers if one of my Were's get in trouble I have plenty of time travel wormholes to walk from wherever I may be to get where they are within the matter of seconds. And once I get there I will treat them like the dogs they are trying to be. Then I will take out the trash."

Time seem to have slipped away from the two as they laughed and talked with each other until almost 2 in the morning. Adam told Keiko about his two years captivity with the wolf. After they cleaned the kitchen they ended up getting 2 pints of ice cream out of the freezer and ate those while they talked like they have known  each other for years...just like they were best friend's.
(Keiko your tag from both posts)

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 10):
Keiko whistled and said "No prob about the hours you keep. So you manage a home for two weres and handle them. What do those jobs entail if I may ask? And won't they understand if you need to do less for them? And what was that about treating 'them like the dogs they are trying to be?'"

Keiko smiled and finished off her garlic bread .....

"Oh no you misunderstood me. If anyone tried to break in or hurt them...I would treat them like a dog.  I would take care of them and they would realize that they fucked up."
Adam did a shot of his GJ and it made his eyes water as he let out a "Damn that's good!"

"Oh they already know. We sat down and discussed my business plan and I hired someone to clean and cook for them. When there is a full moon I am there to take care of them and dress them the next day. ."

His Grandfather Clock in the hallway chimed 2 o'clock and a big clap of thunder hit and it was like the sky opened up as the rain started pouring down.

"Yikes. Have we been talking and eating this whole time?"
Adam heard the downpour and turned his head to his bat windows and shook his head
,"Well it looks like you won't be going anywhere tonight. You can stay in one of my guest rooms I have 4 of them. And there are showers in each of them and queen size beds as well. And don't argue about it, I wouldn't send out my worst enemy out in this storm, do you think I would send my best mechanic? Not...'

Keiko frowned at something "I appreciate your high praise but I have not earned it yet as I have mostly taken computer testing here and filled out paperwork to make some Government computer thrilled. I believe my dainty hands will be done with key pressing tomorrow morning unless the weather is terrible."

Keiko frowned as the tv weather lady announced the likelihood of worse weather.

She smiled a little, bowed and said "Thank you for the offer of one of your beds, Adam-San. Would you give me your truck keys so I can secure our vehicles."

She held out a hand ....

Adam looked outside then back at her,"How about you just follow me out and drive your truck into one of the garages? So it will be safe. This way if you have extra clothes you can change into them. Drive into the garage next to the one I drive into." He hands her a remote,"Here this way it will open and close and you can come inside to the mud room. That way you can grab a towel to dry off, it goes into the kitchen then I'll show you to one of the bedrooms. You might want to take a shower to warm up before you go to bed."

Adam stood up and took his phone out of his pocket and placed it on the table then slipped his boots on as well as his hat and stood by the door waiting for Keiko and an umbrella in hand for her.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 15):

Keiko nods at Adam and goes outside.

Adam helps Keiko with her rolling suitcase and a backpack and they are placed on the floor of the garage.

The garage door behind Kiki's truck begins to close and gets around a fourth of the way which alerts Adam to his power being on but the door being stuck. The lighting goes dim in and around the garages and the humans can hear large cat growls. Adam notes four growls

Keiko says "That's not good."

She positions herself behind a large rolling toolbox and grabs a large monkey wrench hanging of it.

Our heroes are faced by two mangy wild ...no these are wet, angry shapeshifters on either side of the stuck open door.

Keiko waves her wrench around as the weres growl and move towards her.

Then the obviously Ursula and Ginny [in large wild cat form] run the other were's off and the motor for the door begins to go down again.

The good weres run back to the door and slide under them. The furrballs try to get some water off of their bodies.

Ginny then tries to get a scritch from Adam ....

Keiko can't help but laugh and says "We need to secure the house ASAP .. I can dry our friends off while you do that. Your friends might want a bubble bath."

The werecats both look at Adam with cocked at angles heads and Keiko giggles.

Adam was a little relieved to see the two Were's, he couldn't get to his gun from where he was.
He scratches Ginny's back,"Welcome e girls."
He nodded his head,"Good idea, get them I to the mud room and give them towels to dry themselves with.."
He reached in his truck and pulled out his gun then went to the mudroom, he stopped at the door and said,"Human up ladies and introduce yourselves to this young lady, this is Keiko." He walked in and can be heard inside after closing an inner door then you can hear the front door slamming.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 17):

Ursula ran over to mud room door in large cat form and soon was sneaking towards the front door to make sure the noise was just the wind.

Ginny shifted to homid and smiled at Keiko ... the ladies greeted one another in whispered tones. They pointed Glocks at the door ... Keiko was amazed at the 6'4" woman in boots ...

Ginny and Keiko did not dry off yet .....

Ursula went into the house proper. She carefully walked towards the front door ....

A shotgun sound rings through the thunder storm air, then another one. And you can hear Adam yell out,"Get back you foul beasts!"

Ginny heard the gunshot and she looked at Keiko then ran into the mudroom and  opened the inner door that was the entrance to the kitchen. She saw Ursula at the front door but didn't see Adam anywhere, she joined Ursula at the front door.
"What the hell is going on?" She asked, Ursula.

In reply to Virginia Helena Grissom Bolland (msg # 20):

Ursula grumbled and contacted a mage and had her portal Adam into the house if possible and said "Friendly mage .. one ... in living room."

Ursula said gruffly "Adam in trouble ... he yelled out about 'foul beasts'. Gonna try to get him inside."

A mage was now in contact with Keiko and the weres. Keiko ran to the kitchen and could be heard rummaging around.

Another mage takes up point and looked out the front [or non mudroom area windows].

Ursula said privately in werespeach "Ginny, If you don't invite the little woman to the party she might be pissy at you. Although you could do it for the make-up potential sex."

Ginny nodded and grabbed a gun and a bat and ran into the kitchen and was headed out to the garage but saw Keiko she said,"Hey Chica are you good with a bat? Or a gun? Our boy needs help." She placed both on the island in the middle of the kitchen then ran back out to the living room.
She didn't see Adam yet...

A flood light came on and Adam can be seen running away from what looked like a monster and not the Were's that were in the garage.
He tripped and fell and the monster pounced on him and started clawing him...

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 23):

Moira popped in near the monster in her large cat form then growled and clawed at it and hopefully slashed into a preferable [one] back leg twice.

Moira grumpily said mentally to Ginny I was watching porn and so warm and cozy, and Gillian the mage told me there was trouble in River City, and now I'm cold and wet. I am not exiting my er our bed until 12.01 am Wednesday. Oh and mom said hi. Oh ... keep your head low

In reply to Moira Selina Bolland (msg # 24):


Keiko nodded at the direction Ginny went then found the flak jacket Adam had in a low kitchen cabinet and strapped herself in and then put on protective eyewear.

She muttered "So much for my plans to watch porn and get some sleep."

She played around with some weapons on the counter [guns, hand crossbow[?], fancy knives] and the pure gold and silver stuff [bolts, bullets, knives [?] she found in a wooden case near the flak jacket.

She muttered louder and frowned "I'm getting too old for this shit."

She shouted "I hope I get hazard pay!"

She went back to talking conversationally out loud to herself  .. this time she is trying for humor "Wild guess .. my parents will quote request I stay Adam's permanent employee for twenty years."

She made sure the guns were loaded and safeties were off ...

Ursula and a mage were trying to get those on the team who were getting rained on .. inside .. Ursula told the others via garou power altered voice box the vague plan [?]  ...
Any other help is per the Head GM ..... I guess :)

Virginia ran outside to help and immediately started fighting one of the weres, she turned into a were herself and pounced on the were and took it out then tracked down the other were that was hiding in the woods and the two went at it and it ran away licking it's wounds.

(Keiko's turn)

In reply to Virginia Helena Grissom Bolland (msg # 27):

Two other werewolves who were made nuts by the Wyrm crashed through a side living room window .... Keiko fired off one silver shot and it grazed a were ... a normal bullet missed the same were ... the third one which was silver lodged somewhere in the second were's body.

A mage fired off a spell that partly blinded one were ...

The two weres left tainted blood and retreated ...

Keiko changed weapons to different guns ...

Keiko muttered "I hope I can have sex reasonably soon if I get hurt."

[and now ...]

In reply to Keiko Forster (msg # 28):

Moira  / kitty jumped out of the monster's way [outside] and was able to slash the creatures leg a third time and one of the other strikes ...

Ginny watched as her wife barely got missed by the monster's claw strike
This message was last edited by the GM at 11:34, Tue 18 Apr 2023.

Adam managed to roll out from under the monster that was now attacking Moira..."Moira? Where the hell did she come from? Where the hell did these Were's and this monster come from?"
Adam can be heard saying this after he says Moira's name.

"It's a freaking free for all."
Adam managed to get in his workshop and grabbed a couple of guns and load them with silver bullets and grab his trusty machete.  He managed to walk out, limping but walk out when he saw a familiar shape and heard a familiar voice. He stood frozen as the rain poured down on him, he said to himself
(no his memory was wiped he shouldn't be here.)
Adam came up behind him, because of the rain he couldn't smell his scent or the fact he has several wounds, some of which are pretty bad. He put his gun to his back."Just say the word and I'll end you now."

Ursula and the mages couldn't get a clear lock on anyone outside due to the rain and the actions that was going on, she just watched in the cloud that she created so she could see.
She cleaned up the blood that the wolves left behind.
Ursula looked at Keiko,'Good Job! Stay in here and protect the fortress, while I watch the fights."

In reply to Ursula Cosgrove (msg # 31):

Ginny growled loudly and really menacingly and faked stumbling ..

She growled out the number 12 which meant to her sig o Me is fine ...

Ginny hoped putting herself in the exact middle of the baddies and a sudden jump away would help with opening up a better line of sight to Adam .... She did jump out of the way and hoped Adam could be ported to safety.

In reply to Virginia Helena Grissom Bolland (msg # 32):

Keiko ran up to a window where she could see Adam ...

She aimed two silvered shots at the guy who Adam had the gun aimed at ...

She aimed the shots when lightning flashed .. one bullet narrowly missed Adam and the other spun seemingly in slow, cinematic flight towards the were ...

Just as Keiko's bullet hit The Bully Wolf, Adam looked over and actually took a shot at the were that attacked Moira it went through the animal just as it raised up, letting off another shotin the already dead wolf that lay in front of him, he shot him in the head just to make sure. He didn't know who saved his life but he was eternally grateful.

Moira was about to get clawed when the animal fell on her.
She pushed him off as he changed back to human. She raised up and saw that it was Adam that killed the were.
She yelled out "Thank you!",
Adam gave her a thumbs up.

She looked around for Ginny when she finally saw her it was too late the were had went back to human form and pistol whipped her in the back of her head, knocking her out.
 Moira automatically went to mad kitty form and ran toward the guy with the gun and jumped on him and proceeded to tear him up unt he stopped screaming, then she peed on him.
She came back to human form and ran to Ginny and put her arms around her and yelled out,"URSULA!"
Immediately Ursula brought Moira and Ginny inside the house. She carried Ginny to the living room and put her on the couch and told Ursula what happened.

Adam walked away from the body and went inside the garage and used the phone in the garage and called for a clean up. He would get security tomorrow and a spell put on his place so this didn't happen again.

TIME:::3:00AM

In reply to Moira Selina Bolland (msg # 35):

People and /or weres clean up nicely.

Repairs and cleansing of the taint as well as injuries are started to be taken care of and there is a meet up in the living room at 4am.

An unmailed letter from Keiko's mother was dropped off by K on a platter where Adam's mail is placed.

When Adam looks at the letter the mom thanks Adam again for saving her husband from a horrible situation. Mom instructed Keiko to aid Adam at home ... work ... etc until Adam releases her from a debt Mom feels needs to be paid. Keiko mentioned to mom that is was better to do things differently but she takes honor seriously.


[mike note hopefully this is clear ... and Keiko, ursula and mages are at meeting as are Ginny and Moira unless the latter Gibbs the former and hauls her of to bed ...]

Keiko has just applied at least moisturizing cream to her face and stifles a yawn ...

Adam was discussing what had just happened when Keiko handed the silver tray that he puts his mail on, it had an envelope addressed to him, he looked confused as Keiko sits down and started applying moisturizing cream to her face.
He was about to read it out loud until he did a quick scan and saw who it was from. He read it while the other women in the room asked what it was and he held up a finger, the look of confusion crossed his face again. He asked himself (What is he doing to save her husband from a horrible situation? And what does it mean to aid me at home and work until I release her from a debt the mother feels needs to be paid?)
 He slowly put the letter back in the envelope and closed it up then folded it up and slid it in his pocket.
He gave Keiko a confused and we need to talk later look. The others kept hounding him and he said,"Oh it's just a thank you letter and an invite to dinner at Keiko's place by her mom."
 He cleared his throat... And continued the meeting then assigned the bedrooms and said,"Hey Kiki before you nod off to lala land can I have a word please."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 37):

A demure and nervous Keiko 'hunted down' Adam in his private study and closed the door behind them per request.

Keiko composed herself and while still standing up she spoke "You wanted to converse with me, Mr. er Adam."

Adam looked at Keiko,"Yeah have a seat."
He popped some Tylenol with a fifth of Jack that he poured in a glass.
He held the letter up and asked her,"Have you read this letter? If so can you explain to me what it means? Because it sounds like you are my servant and once I'm through with you I am to release you? I'm confused.  You're not my servant, you're my employee. My dad said he was doing a favor for a friend, that his daughter needed a job and I needed a top mechanic in their field and you are it so...what is all of this?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 39):

Keiko asked to be handed the note and frowned "My esteemed mother left out a lot of informaion .. I am sorry."

She was asked to sit down by Adam and sat cross-legged while wearing pajama shorts.

She explained "While in England our fathers met during a pub crawl while studying at University. And during the short altercation, your father saved mine from a lot of pain. Your dad [shrugged it off?] to some degree but my father and mother appreciated the save a lot. My take is that it was worth a lot short of the situation as it stands. My name was suggested to your father and you accepted me as an employee which is fine with me."

She asked if she could pour herself a large and strong drink and one for Adam if he desired."

Adam handed Keiko a glass and moved his glass to her,"So because of a brawl in a pub and my dad... And your folks ... But..." He clinked his glass to hers them downed his drink and poured himself another one.
"Ok first off you are in no way for or fashion in servitude for me. If your folks want to think that...well that is fine...I guess but just to let you know your not. You work for me and after tonights hell I guess we can say we are friends...I just wish I knew who saved my life."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 41):

Keiko listened to Adam and then took a healthy swig of her drink and thanking her boss for the job again and now the drink.

She said "As per your request, I will not mention the servitude business again .. it is something my mother feels is important to act on in the way she believes."

She blushed and spoke less demurely "I fatally shot the monster."

At that moment he was told via text to look at a certain timecode on camera feed 214. This footage proved what Keiko had admitted to. She took a few more sips of her drink.

She said "You have some interesting extended family members."

In the mix was Terry had texted that he was ready to plan security changes for the airfield .. and that Keiko was a 'righteous babe' per his wife, Anna

"Thank you for that because gosh I mean I didn't hire you for you to work in my home and the hub you're not my slave. Now don't get me wrong after the hell we just went through I consider you one of my dear friends. And you are welcomed here anytime you want to come over just text and say  hey Addie I'm coming over or hey Addie I'm here." He laughed  and looked over at her and said,"Addie is a nickname Moira came up with."
He took another drink then he put his glass down and looked at her..."It...it was you? You killed the my Arch nemesis. That was the guy that enslaved me for two years, all I can figure is that he saw my interview either in the paper or on TV about the Hub and it clicked. But you killed him. Girl...that first shot went right by my ear.,.," He laughed

He turned in his chair and said,"Thank you. I think you can tell your mom that we are even now. My pop saved your pops live and you saved mine. Isn't that how it goes? Seriously thank you so very much. I wouldn't be sitting here right now if it hadn't been for you because he would have figured out a way to get the guns away from me and killed me. So I can't say it enough, thank you, thank you, thank you. Here have another drink.." he poured Keiko another drink.
"To life and good friends."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 44):

Keiko smiled [inadvertently cutely] and klinked glasses with Adam "Thank you for the thanks, Adam er Addie. We can visit my parents after work today and sort the matter out if you like. Uhm you are welcome for the save. And thank you for acknowledging me as a friend. Uhm, we should drink up and get in a few hours of sleep."

She drank up slowly, yawned and then smiled again ...

Adam flashed her his pearly whites and a twinkle in his eyes he said,"That sounds like a plan. Why don't you come to the shop around 3? I'll close up early and I'll follow you to your place and we can talk to your folks then. Or come around 3, I'll close up early we can grab a late lunch then go to your place to talk to your folks, I don't want to talk them on an empty stomach or maybe I'll eat a sandwich around 2 so I'll be fine. Oh damn I'm rambling...sorry I tend to do that sometimes when I get nervous about stuff. At least it isn't like I'm meeting your folks because we are dating. Oh geez that's the worse, feeling." He laughed a nervous laugh then downed his drink.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 46):

Keiko looked deeply into Adam's eyes with her electric blue ones.

She said "I will see you in the afternoon then. Uhm would you rather I work another day besides tomorrow?" She looked curious. "And did you mention dating?"

Adam looked into Keiko's blue eyes for a few seconds and started to get lost in them then he blinked and shook his head.
"Only if you want to but I don't see it being necessary."
When she mentioned dating he ran his fingers through his hair and  said,"Oh I uhm meant that is if we were dating g and I was meeting your parents for the first time how awkward...no uncomfortable I would be. My first impressions aren't that great " He flashed her another smile making his eyes twinkle.
" I mean y-y-you know you are beautiful and all but we probably shouldnt date?" He says this as if he is asking a question.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 48):

Keiko thought for a moment and then said "When you feel comfortable and or confident or you wish to get the possibly crazy thought out of your scared mind feel free to ask me about dating whenever you desire to do so."

She stood up, grinned a little and pulled a twizzler from out of a windbreaker pocket ..

Terry called and mentioned a call from Zoe who had mentioned the battle over a secure line including being told about Keiko's role in it.

GRANT immediately called right after to say and zoe were in an Uber and was mere moments from the  ranch...

Keiko put a twizzler to her lips and stage whispered "How about we talk before you head out."

Keiko then started to head out ... and stopped, blushed deep red when her beauty was complimented on.


Still blushing ... even more .. Keiko then said "Er .. uhm .... Thank you for the compliment on my beauty, Adam."

Adam pulled a sucker from his desk drawer, a grape dum dum and popped it in his mouth after the phone calls.

He blushed, slowly pulling the sucker from his mouth he raised a brow at Keiko,"Alright...let me get my courage up and I'll ask you out on a date and I won't have to meet your parents because I would have already met them."

He couldn't help but smile at her,"One thing that you will learn about me..Im very honest...I believe telling the truth. I'm honest to the fault. And you are the epitome of beautiful."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 50):

Keiko blushes and smiled "When it boils down to it I am honest however I have to stretch truth when out in our weird and wild world. And thank you for the compliment on my beauty."

Keiko sipped some decent yet low ABV beer then said "We should consider getting in naps."

"Ehhh no such luck for me my dad and step mother are headed this way so you go on to bed, I'll get some sleep later on."
He put the sucker back in his mouth for a few minutes then pulled it back out and said,"Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite." He laughed,"My grams said that all the time."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 52):

Keiko smiled and gave Adam a tender and sisterly hug and Zoe texted Adam We're hhhheeerrreeeeee.

Keiko said "We should greet your parents and then I can nap. And thank you for not making a deal of some sort about my scarring. Thank you for treating me well and telling me that I am the *epitome of beautiful*"

"Just stating the facts ma'am. And you don't have to stay and greet my dad and his wife. I'm hoping this will be a short visit, considering that they are showing up uninvited, something I'm not too fond of and they choose 5 o'clock in the morning to come and be nosey and I guarantee you it was Ursula that called them and told them what happened because he wouldn't be coming had he heard it from a stranger or read it in the newspaper."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 54):

Keiko frowned and looked at Adam "A Forster doesn't run and hide or rather this one doesn't. And I plan on sleeping part of the day and in your guest room. And I'd like to find out what's going on first-hand."

Keiko straightened her shirt and then her pj shorts, smiled, opened the study door, checked if she needed any cream for her face.

Then Adam led the way to the living room.

She then whispered "My brothers are very protective of me .. just an FYI. They probably got word of the fracas we had here. I'm surprised that they haven't checked in on me."

JUST THEN...
Keiko's cell goes off...it's her step brother Ted...

"Well I'm not sure what has happened just yet.Oh wait this is my Intel
L person now. Be right back "
Adam stepped away just as Keiko's cell phone rang to the tune of BABY GOT BACK!

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 57) / Ted Forster:

Keiko rolled her eyes as the ring tone played.

She vowed again to force her bro to change the ringtone to Turning Japanese .She was determined to up the stakes and prank Ted via modding his secondary laptop most likely so he would have a hint that she wanted Ted to change something that she could easily do herself.

She sultrily / professionally answered her smartphone in Japanese "My name is Keiko Forster and you have reached Grand Tyler Station .. How may I may be of assistance?"

Ted was reminded for like the millionth time why his buddies loved calling the Forster house just to hear Keiko or Hikuru answer the phone.

Keiko went back to the study to talk with Ted .. and ADAM'S 'rents were led to the living room by a mage.

Via phone...
"Hey little sis, are you alright? Do me and Kev need to come to this guy's Ranch and pick you up? What the hell happened?"

Adam's dad questioned Adam about what happened during the early morning. Adam tells his dad that he will explain everything once Keiko came back from talking on the phone.

In reply to Theodore 'Ted' Forster (msg # 59):

Keiko sat down in Adam's 'CEO' chair, told Ted she needed to compose her thoughts and began spinning in the chair.

She had a mage triple secure the phone lines if need be.

She next said there are too many folks at the Newman residence, and I should be the only Forster here in the house for a few hours. She had the 650 and everyone was fine.

She told her bro what happened as best she could and she did not want to be picked up as she needed to follow things through  ... And yes she was aware there was danger involved in what transpired.

She was thankful Ted and Kev were thinking of her [as well as their parents most likely].

She sipped some high APV stuff.

She happily spoke and then said "I'm certain we Forsters will get together today.. how about things get sorted out here and I call you or Mom asap. Then we'll punt from there. kay? I'm open for altering my suggestion."

She suddenly grumbled "Great .. fuck ..  Adam's folks are probably going to give me dirty looks for having whisky on my breath this early in the day. And before you say anything I had sixty year old whisky in my  well-manicured paws."

She chuckled and audibly sipped her drink ...


----------------------------------------------------


Note:

1) Keiko's drinking at 4-5am might be an 'issue' with Grant and / or Zoe

2) Keiko and Hikuru being considered eccentric and or something else might frighten [?] one of the elder Newman's somehow even if Karl helped Grant .. and now its 2032 and ... the families aren't the Cleaver's and their neighbors ..

3) And if there are issues ... guess who might be officially dating at any moment

Ginny smiled at her sig other "Do not say I don't have to thank you for willing to lose hours of sleep to watch over me while i stay awake just in case, Moira. By the by you look and smell great. And before you ask my noggin feels okay. I'm not feeling too much pain. Uhm ... How are you feeling, m'love? By the by, I love when you leave your scent on an enemy. Smelled your urine before I passed out. Never thought urine would be a smell I could ever like. By the by your voice and bod turn me on too."

          <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

She then gave Moira a long and tender kiss and a massage. Moira was then hugged just a little tighter for a few moments.

Ginny grinned a few minutes and sweetly said "Can you order us room service, darlin'? And off topic .. its been so long since you've dressed to impress and I'd love to see you strut along a street in stockings and heels. Or we can accept one of those big human dinners that is normally avoided like the plague."
This message was last edited by the player at 09:11, Fri 21 Apr 2023.

Ted listened to who he considered his kid sister then said,"Ok I'll tell Mama H, Mama H is what the boys call Hikuru since she and Karl got married, so plan on a family dinner tonight. And pop a mint of chew some gum or something or fuck them Newman's if they don't like for the fact that you have alcohol on your breath, I bet their Golden Boy, Adam is it? has alcohol on his breath too. And what have I said since you were a little girl? Don't sweat the small stuff squirt. Ok let me get off of here and get a couple of winks of sleep but if you need me call me. I love ya little sis. Bye."
With that the. Call ended.

±+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Moira smiled at Ginny,"Ya liked that huh? Yeah I learned that pissing on your enemy from you. And why don't we have a normal dinner at a normal restaurant together. We can have Adam arrange it for us. We can have our shoppers bring us some clothes to the loft and we can see what we want to wear, get our hair and makeup crew over and get all dolled up, have Adam arrange a driver for us so we can drink if we want and not worry about getting pulled over. Oh yeah...I love you...you had me worried sick about you. I'm so glad that you are ok. It took a lot and I do mean A LOT of healing spells to patch you up and to stop the bleeding so you could just sleep. Thank you for being alive after that whole fiasco. I love you."

----------------------------+

Once the phone call between the siblings were over and Keiko joined them Adam introduced his dad and step mom to her.
Once all the pleasantries were over he began explaining what his contacts told him.
That his ad in the newspaper started a flicker with the wolf but it was the television interview and actually seeing himlive and hearing his voice that completely threw the wolf over the edge and broke the spell and it woke him up. He brought ina hacker to find his home address for a home invasion. He continued telling about the fight right down to the very end and the last shot...and he made sure to let them know that Keiko saved his life and that he sees the family debt paid for but will be talking to her father today about it.

In reply to Theodore 'Ted' Forster (msg # 63):

Keiko yawned and downed the whiskey after hugging a stuffie that stood in for Ted ... and smiled as the call ended. Then she did the same for Kev with another stuffie. She then chuckled about the stuffies [and five more .. they were all for graduation like moments] being in Adam's study. She then sucked on a sweet mint which did help a tiny bit.

-------------------------

In the living room, Keiko listened to Adam talk and did not add anything.

She noted the pistols she used were still on her person.

Adam was texted by Keiko at a quiet moment: I will be heading out soon .. after napping ...and one of my brothers expects me at a family gathering later and I'm inviting you ... and forget you have credit cards.

-----------------

Ginny said she was sorry that Moira cried and instead of mentioning the word love, Moira was Frenched by her mate. The duo had to use the toilet at that moment ... then when the duo climbed back into bed ..

Ginny then tried to see if Moira wanted her nethers given some attention ... slowly

After the impromptu and unnecessary visit from his dad and step mom they left after the pleasant goodbyes and the so good to meet yous etc etc bs.
Adam looked at Keiko,"Ok are you still dropping bye the Hub at 3 so I can follow out to yours and your folks place or are you gonna make me go in blind? Y'all don't live too far from here so I may just cut out at 2 and just come on back here and take a hot shower, get a clean shave and get a spit polish look so I can nervously meet your parents. Just text me your address so I can find the place and give me a time and do me a favor...inform them that I am joining y'all. I want to make a good impression, a bad impression would be if I showed up unannounced and unknown to the owners of the house, been there...done that." He smiled at her then said,"Besides I want a good them to like me just in case we do decide to date." He winked at her. "Now off to bed with ya so I can get an hour or 2 of shut eye before I head in. Goodnight... morning... sweet dreams."
He waited until Keiko was in the room he chose then went to his room, he took off his pants and climbed into bed and fell asleep.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 65):

Keiko thought and then said "I'm contractually obligated to meet up with my family for dinner tonight at an as of now unknown time and venue ...I can meet you at the airfield at three and we'll punt from there."

She set a few alarms including the one for a 2pm appearance at the airfield so she wouldn't be late.

She texted Ted to text her the time dinner and the venue are decided on and then turned all her attention onto Adam ..

She yawned, muttered about leaving her creams in the flak jacket, stretched her tired muscles and waited for Adam to respond ...

Moira told Ginny that she loved her from the top to the bottom of her heart but she didn't think that it was appropriate to fool around at someone else's house so she could just reel in her hormones until they got home and to go to sleep.

Adam's phone went off and he grabbed it , blinking his eyes a couple of times he smiled when he saw the name,"Ok come to the Hub at 2 we can come back here so I can show you how well I clean up and we will do what we gotta do. Ok sleepy time. Talk to you in a few  Ciao Bella

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 68):

Keiko idly wondered about the phone call and politely nodded at what was directed at her .. she yawned and walked off ...

When Adam left for the hub .. he found Keiko was clean and 'out cold' in the living room.

She was wearing a kimono that was bought off an expensive rack. She had two colored creams on her face. She was also sans make-up.

He got a call from Ann [ie Terry's wife] after the mystery call ..  about the hub's books ... she had found a hacker had started to play around but he or she was roughly handled .... she also mentioned that she was amazed by the pics she had seen of Keiko and Hikuru.

Ann ended the call ...

Adam left for the hub...
__----_______&--_-_-_-
Moira woke up and got dressed then woke Ginny up as well as Ursula,"Hey let's go to I-Hop for breakfast and get of this man's house, he has already left for work."
The three women left leaving Keiko on the sofa asleep.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 70):

Ginny looked at Moira as they stood up against their SUV and shared a cig or Ginny had a half of one on her own  ...

She said "No bet but Adam could be fond of Keiko."

She inhaled, exhaled and said "So ... Where did you was to drag Ursula to after IHOP, darlin'?"

Moira shrugged after she finished her cigarette,"I think Keiko has a thing for Adam. And going to take Ursula home so she can get ready for her meeting and we are going home."

In reply to Moira Selina Bolland (msg # 72):

This day is in the books and we skip to tomorrow .. and Ollie and Sally will be back ..

In reply to Super Narrator (msg # 73):

A yawning Keiko arrives via an Uber at 3am and is let in by a yawning mage named Dakota who was there to clean part of Adam's ranch... and to magically alter at least Keiko's uniform [and maybe his] so she'd look even more professional to the clients[?].

Keiko takes another shower [she took one the night before] and is napping in her bed. Her military style shined boots and the shiny pins await to be mated to her uniform are in a dressing room.

At Adam's wake up time 'Sir' is offered an actual menu and asked for [Rank] Forster's uniform.

Adam sat up,"Huh? Rank? Wth are you talking about? We are wearing a pair of black coveralls with our names on it, the company name on the back and I'll have pilot under my name and she will have co-pilot under name written in red on a white patch and black outlined to make the words pop. And jump boots, damn come in here before the ass crack of dawn, before my first coffee to ask me questions that don't make a hill of beans worth of sense. Ugh!" He Laid back down rolled over on his stomach and put his head under his pillow and screamed.
A mage named Tommy popped in,"Your coffee sir?" Adam reached out just as the mage disappeared but he caught his coffee before it fell.
He drank the coffee and took his shower, he shaved and put on his aftershave on his face. Then got dressed in jeans, Tshirt and brought bag with extra clothes, per usual for him. He looked in the mirror and shrugged,"I clean up pretty good " he put on his cowboy boots keys, wallet, cell and cowboy hat and went downstairs where at the bottom of the stairs was his second cup of coffee. He smiled and took it,"Thank you." He walked into the living room and to his surprise was Keiko sitting on the couch waiting on him.

"What are you doing here? I told you I was coming to get you?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 75):

Dakota and Keiko tried to clearly explain what Dakota had planned ..... after a mug of 'real' Japanese tea ...

Keiko looked sorry ...

Dakota started to apologize the moment she hurried herself out of bed ...

Adam laughed,"Hey it's ok. It gives me time to drink another cup of coffee and to run upstairs and grab my coveralls because they are hanging in the door."
He took off up the stairs then back down and by the time he was back his 3rd cup of coffee was ready and he was in his recliner.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 77):

Keiko fridged the tea and returned to Adam's side dressed for success later ....

The flight crew and/ clients would be taken by [a] rando's vehicle[s] as need be to locales so Adam and Keiko would be relaxed for the flight.

Keiko's hair color ONLY was magically altered for benefit of the clients. Keiko muttered she didn't want to any clients to add hair color issues to their 'scorecards'.

"The clients are taking a limo to the airstrip."
He looked at his watch,"The crew is there taking the plane out now and wiping down the windows to make sure there is no glare on them since we will be flying into the sun."

He finished his 3rd cup of coffee.
"Ok little lady let's get this show on the road, shall we? And your hair looks good either way." He grabbed their bags and coveralls and opened the door and closed the door behind them.

Keiko started to walk to his truck,"Oh we aren't taking Kitty, we are taking Maybelline." They go to the last garage and he opened it then took the tarp off. It was an old school VW bus.
He pushed a button and unlocked the doors and opened her door and once Keiko was in he closed it, opened up the side door he hung up the uniforms and placed the bags in the seat then closed the door. Running around he jumped in and she started right up and he smiled, she didn't sound sluggish like most VWs sound, she sounded smooth.
They drove off, through the gate and down the road...
Next post Adam's Aviation Hub

In reply to Keiko Forster (msg # 78):

OOC: to the hub we go

Adam was so glad that his house was still standing and there was no damage to be fixed. He walked in and went straight to bed, plopping down on the bed he fell asleep.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 81):

Forty minutes later ---- Adam's phone buzzed in his pants and after a solo game of hot potato he greeted Keiko ..

Keiko slightly cheerfully said "Hello, Adam .. My esteemed mother invited the rest of your family to a barbeque. It will start at [time] ... you can come over prior if you wish. I can send Ted or Kevin. If you are unable to come and you need to rest up after the last few days ..."

She felt she was rambling and trailed off ..
This message was last edited by the player at 01:27, Sat 13 May 2023.

Adam laid back as he listened to Keiko on the phone.

"My whole family? ie mom and sibs too?

" Ok let me run through the shower and drink me some coffee and and do a couple of things and I'll be right over. Ok honey I'll see you soon ." Adam ended the call and rolled over on his stomach and sighed. He gave himself a pep talk about getting out of bed and take a shower first.
He jumps out of bed and starts his shower in the most luxurious bathroom you will see, unless you open up Homes and Gardens Magazine where his Ranch is on the front cover and there are pictures of his and the inside of it too.

He runs down and starts his coffee maker and runs back upstairs and gets in the shower. He took a 20 minute shower letting the hot water roll down his very sore back.
He got out, wrapped a towel around his waist and made himself a big thermos of coffee and went to get dressed, went to his office to go through the mail and pay some bills.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 83):

In the truck and at the ranch after the party at Keiko's place and the work at the hub ...

* Our duo changed truck seats then Adam ordered Chinese food which was picked up on the way to the ranch.

* Adam was asked to go shirtless so Keiko could look at his chest occasionally

* At some point before starting to chat, Keiko nervously and tenderly kissed Adam and he was thanked for the $5,000 bonus.

* Keiko shows documents and pics of work being done so she and Adam don't get in too much trouble...

* Keiko arranged a late lunch celebration tomorrow with her and Adam which will secretly turn into a party with those from work and possibly a few relations.

* Keiko looked deep into Adam's eyes and said "After talking about what my Grandmother prophesized I can slip into some comfy nightwear and we can snuggle."

* Adam enters her schedule for the rest of her week into her phone. And Adam adds anything he decides on for next week.

* The duo also had time to clean up if need be. Keiko needed yet another shower before making the video calls cuz it was warm on the way home.

Adam walked around with his blue jeans and socks.

Adam suggested that if she wanted to make a video call to her folks that she may want to keep her clothes on and if she decided that she wanted treat something comfy to watch movies and cuddle he would give her one of his old shirts, he didn't feel comfortable with her wearing a nightie just yet. They discussed what her grandmother predicted and he feels that if they have a future with each other then it was going to happen naturally that he was not going to force it. Forcing relationships can only lead to disaster...most of the time.

He cleaned up their dinner mess, giving the scraps to his dog Bentley, while she made her video chat with her folks and let them know if she was planning on going home that night or not. If she stayed she had a bedroom to stay in so there wouldn't be a problem there. After cleaning up the dishes Adam took a quick shower, walking out in a pair of pajama bottoms, smelling like her favorite body spray that she mentioned she liked on him. He walked out and handed her an oversized shirt,"Here you can have this to sleep in." He did wait to say this until after her video chat was over.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 85):

Keiko and Adam made any calls they needed to ... she stated by nightwear she meant a tshirt and shorts ...

She put on Adam's shirt over her sleeveless tshirt and short combo ..

She popped the top/ cap on a medium strength beer and said "What a strange day. I officially have a boyfriend and you have a girlfriend. And I ran away from a family party which I haven't done since I was sixteen. That was because a very close friend of one of my father's aunts tried to fix me up with a guy who was going to school with one of her daughters."

She then kissed Adam from one cheek down to the top of his neck on the same side ..

She then happily looked into Adam's eyes and waited to see what would happen next
This message was last edited by the player at 11:20, Tue 23 May 2023.

Adam pulled Keiko in his arms and gave her a hug, he gently rubbed her back as they slowly danced to the music that Adam had playing in the background. She could hear his heart pounding as they swayed back and forth. He gently dipped her then slowly brought her back up and gave her a very sensual kiss.

He held her close to him as he closed his eyes and sighed,"You make me happy. I hope I make you happy too."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 87):

Keiko unbuttoned the two buttons at the top of the outer shirt after kissing Adam in return and thirty minutes of snuggling only ... she explained that she was a little warm.

She then said "You make me happy too ... you took a big chance and hired me and then took several other chances most likely. You could of said that you didn't know a thing about this person who is being forced on me by my father to pay an owed debt and said something to family in public but rolled with the situation, I'm guessing. I could have turned out to be a total eccentric lunatic which could be the truth."

She smirked a la Harley Quinn and kissed Adam on a cheek then he received a long lip kiss. Keiko was wearing lipstick at the moment that was left on Adam's skin which she had not used until tonight.

Keiko handed Adam a cloth with cold cream on it when he noticed the makeup ...
This message was last edited by the player at 11:36, Wed 24 May 2023.

Adam looked a little confused at first then said,"I'm guessing you want me to take your makeup off, ok I can do that."

He gently started wiping Keiko's face with the cold cream,"I guess you could say the same about working for me. You didn't know what kind of boss I was going to be and if we were even going to get along. Luckily we did but you never know so I guess we both lucked out, huh?"

Once he was through he took a dry cloth and took the grease from the cold cream off her face,"You know if you leave this on your face too long it can cause blemishes."
He threw the cloths away then came back with some milk and cookies,"Ok can we splurge on some milk and cookies and relax a bit?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 89):

Keiko showed Adam the makeup she left on his face if need be and smiled when she got the makeup tip from him.

She smiled more when her regular face cream was applied with great care.

She passed on the snack because the duo were still nibbling on the Chinese food but asked for a quart of milk.

Keiko cleared her throat "I'm up for talking about intimacy with you whenever .. snuggling with you has been very nice."

She took her phone off a nightstand and set an alarm for 12:03am ..

"I'm going to get you a piece of cake or pie at around that time and celebrate your bday."

He handed her some milk and climbed back in the bed.
"A quart of milk? That's a lot of milk but hey if you can drink that much then go for it."

He dunked his cookie in his milk then ate it,"I've already given you how I feel about intimacy right now and so soon in our relationship and you told me you were ok with it, have you changed your mind in this short of time? Is this because of what your grandmother said?"

He dunked another cookie and ate it then said,"Snuggling is great ad I feel good with us doing that."

He shook his head,"Awww you don't have to do that hun. Ok grant it there is cake and pie in the fridge. I got a cake from Village Bakery, my favorite, Red Velvet, and a pecan chocolate chip pie that I baked when we got back from our trip and before I drove to your parents. I was going to bring it with me but decided o the bottle of wine instead."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 91):

Keiko commented "I may drink a fair bit of milk .. going to chill without getting potentially buzzed and we'll get intimate when we're ready. I'm going to powder what you think is a cute nose."

She heads off after smiling and thinks about things for tomorrow but not the secret possible guest list as she composes a text in case she sends one out.

She gets grumpy about changing intimacy rules but decides that probably will happen .. whenever. And odds are .. she thinks grandmas talk permeated her brain. And she randomly looked at pics [Myri and family which she met a month ago but didn't know the names of] on her phone.

She went back to Adam just as he noted something odd ..

Keiko confusedly said "Before I went the WC you said Awww you don't have to do that hun. Ok grant it there is cake and pie in the fridge. I got a cake from Village Bakery, my favorite, Red Velvet, and a pecan chocolate chip pie that I baked when we got back from our trip and before I drove to your parents. I was going to bring it with me but decided o the bottle of wine instead. ..... Uhm .. Adam .. I actually don't want more alcohol .. for a few minutes anyway ... AND I thought about the pie or cake an /or the milk."
This message was last edited by the player at 01:18, Thu 25 May 2023.

Adam looked confused when Keiko came back into the room.

He asked,"Were you talking to me?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 93):

Keiko looked at Adam and was frustrated "I THOUGHT about the pie and / or cake in the fridge ... I did not say anything ..."

She drop kicked a pillow into a chair for no reason. She was frustrated.

Adam was very confused,"Sorry I thought you said something to me. What's wrong? What has got you so pissed off?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 95):

Keiko sighed and sat like a lump on the bed after kissing her bf tenderly "You haven't a clue .. I'm a meta .. you heard me think, correct. You are likely a meta yourself .. perhaps my thoughts activate a link to hearing thoughts between me and you if desired or / and others [she hung her head]. Metas have to have to have telepathy to speak with mundane folks as far as I know."

HER outer shirt was unbuttoned fully and the duo were cotton shirt to cotton shirt ... Keiko then stared blankly for a few moments into Adam's eyes.

Adam shook his head,"Me...a meta? There's no way I'm a meta. I would know if I was a meta...don't you think?" He ran his fingers through his hair,"but I heard you clear as day you said which one should I grab? Pie or cake? Oh I know I'll get both. Then you wondered where the cart was so you could bring it all in here. I even answered it was in the pantry closet. Didn't you hear me?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 97):

Keiko got her pillow put her head on it .. she looked confusedly at Adam... he received a tender hug after she pulled him down to her level.

She pulled back, gave a precision military salute and said "I am not joking Mister Newman when I said that I did not hear anything."

Adam unconsciously nodded which Keiko took to end the salute but she waited for an official order .. she was not kidding .. Adam was important.

And then a transformer blew out of the blue and Keiko stayed still in salute mode. She was also hesitant to start intimacy thanks to her fears which was thought of.
This message was last edited by the player at 17:50, Thu 25 May 2023.

Adam thought to himself:Is she staying at a salute because she knew I was a Captain before my medical discharge?:
...Keiko heard this...
He took her other hand and placed it on his and saluted her back so she would stop saluting him. He didn't like that, she shouldn't salute him...ever.
When the transformer blew Adam  reassured Keiko that things would be ok. "I've got generators that will come on in a few minutes."

You can hear a crankshaft turning as the lights begin to comeback on and blink a couple of times then stay on, they are just a little dim.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 99):

Keiko said "I saluted and spoke professionally because I needed to keep my hands nearer to me as opposed to latching onto you, Adam if say a transformer blew or I decided to be overly friendly too soon. And yeah I heard you."


She did an Arnold J. Rimmer salute "I promise to be your loving friend, Adam and your employee as needed."

She finished the salute and said "We can roll a single bed in here and I can sleep in that and be somewhat near you or we can snuggle in one bed. I'm thing you may get no sleep if I'm in my bed here at Chez Newman."

She said Chez and his last name in a snobby faux French accent."

Adam shook his head,"Heard what?"

He sat there listening to what Keiko said then he put his arms around her and pulled her in close.

"We are two grown adults, we can sleep in the same bed without having sex." Jokingly and to try and lighten the mood Adam made a bodybuilder pose then said,"I know it's hard to resist my body." He started laughing.

"And if you don't think you can handle sleeping in the same bed as me  then we won't bring in a spare bed you can always go sleep in the room you slepti a couple of weeks ago. But I honestly prefer you not and stay here with me.that is only if you think you can lay in my arms and sleep in them."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 102):

Keiko put their phones on nightstands near the big bed and re-snuggled with Adam  .. she softly said "Adam .... okay you can talk to me ... you're meta on way or another .. its scary .. I know that from first-hand knowledge. My mom knows people who can help. I can call her quick if you want."

When Keiko offered to call her mo rea quick, Adam flinched and pulled Keiko closer to him.

"Nah there's no reason to call your mom tonight, maybe tomorrow or in a few days...I'm in no big hurry."

He kissed the top of Keiko's head,"Let's get some sleep. Night babe."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 104):

The next morning Keiko could be found nibbling on a granola bar while outside and revisiting the big fight. She looks like she was freshly showered.

With her empty hand she took aim at the baddies, etc in real time.

She wore crocs, a tight Snoopy Christmas tshirt and WWI Snoopy lounge pants.

She was zoned out.

---------------------------------------

Ginny smiled at Adam when he appeared ...

------------------------------------

Moira walked to a nearby table and put down some plates.

----------------------------

Feel free to decide if Adam hears any of Keiko's thoughts.

Adam stopped and counted heads,"So why do we have more than Keiko and myself for breakfast." Looking around,"Speaking of where is?"
Adam made an odd face then smiled,"Never mind I know where she is"

He walked to the kitchen and poured 2 glasses of orange juice then opened the side door.
"Good morning sexy." He handed Keiko a glass,"So why do we have guests for breakfast?I know when we went to bed there was only 2 of us in this house and now Ginny and Moira is puddling around in my kitchen and they didn't even wish me Happy Birthday."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 106):

On cue, the werecouple entered the scene bearing four mini cheesecakes. Ginny lit a candle on each cake.

Ginny said happily after Birthday -- the Bugs Bunny cover of The Beatles' classic - played out "We're here .. finally .. because you wanted some ideas a few months ago on brightening up a few rooms at Chez Newman and Terry either suggested you and or Keiko do like a 12-4 shift or take the day off today. Oh yeah happy getting a year older day"

Keiko and Moira sniggered and Keiko blushed then texted Adam Did you mean to call me sexy? I don't mind if you are serious. Uh I would prefer to work some as calling out for a full day at short notice would be wrong. We could work at your house or I could work at my home. I probably would not get any work done if I went home thanks to one one or more relations.

Ginny had to gesture to remind Adam to blow out the candles ..

Adam blushed at the text he quickly sent a reply,"Yes I meant to call you sexy because you are. You are the most sexy and beautiful woman Ive laid my eyes on. And I need to go to the hanger for a bit."

Adam blew out all 4 candles then took a cheese and handed one to Keiko then took one for himself,"Thank you. And you know the 2 rooms I want redone right?"

He took a bit of his birthday cheesecake then said," Terry is already there working on that plane that came in this morning, it was smoking and barely landed, but did safely and the passengers and pilot are fine. So the pilot called me after he landed and we discussed a price to fix and stow is plane for a few days..I tell ya word to mouth. We are getting so much business that I may have to build more hangers. Luckily I have the room for it."

He took another coupe of bites the he finished it,"Oh I need my coffee fix." As he walks off he thinks the words,*We are banking baby.*

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 108):

The were's were fine with the mods wanted done ..

Keiko idly wondered if she was more than sexy in Adam's mind in just a few hours. Keiko then got ready for work  ...

Keiko mindlessly felt for the keys and wallet she had on her then slipped on some slippers. She would wear proper boots later ...

She grabbed her face cream, make-up, shades and a bag with her after work outfit in it.. and a brand-new Newman's Aviation ball cap and was out the door with [bleh] coffee and a cup of oj and food.

She was dressed in a very partly un-zipped jumpsuit so as to not get overheated ..

She put the food in the seat between the duo and then turned towards Adam who graciously helped her into the cab ..

She said "I'm growing fonder of you as the days have flown by and thank you for the aid with the seat. By the by you look sexy too. Oh and thank you for treating my family and humble self so well."

Adam and Keiko pulled up into the driveway of the Ranch. He pulled down a remote from his visor and clicked a button and a gate went across the drive way and an electrical current started running through it.

He looked at Keiko, "I'm not fond of surprised visitors... Even if they are friends, wanna come to my house, call first." He handed a remote for Keiko, "Here put this in your purse so you will always have a way to come in and out. There is also a unit by the door in the living room by the front door and in the kitchen by the mudroom and the back door so if we get company and they buzz us at the gate we can let them in. It's all about our safety. And here... " He handed her a set of keys of different colors, " the red is the front door, the dark blue the back door, the purple for the door that goes to the garage, the yellow one mudroom and the white one the patio. Now let's go in before it starts raining cats and dogs." He pulled up to the garage and pushed a button and the garage door opened up and he pulled in pushed the button again and it closed." I've got one out in your truck and you have your own spot in the garage." He smiled at her then said, "Ok let's go in, put so e music in, open a bottle of wine, maybe dance a little and just relax and be together. What do you say?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 110):

The keys were taken and K hurried off to get cleaned up and dressed for sitting around for a few / bed after Adam got a tender and quick lip kiss ..

Before K was behind a closed door she left her phone on the coffee table instead of chancing that she'll get distracted [and Adam would be rapping on the bathroom door] and then called out happily "Love you, Adam!"

Keiko returned wearing slightly large for her ladies pjs [to as to not distract Adam], Wonder Woman slippers, was sans makeup, had face gel on and picked up her phone.

K smiled and said "I typed up what I tried to think to you. Uhm before we snuggle, I should ask if we are we working tomorrow. And I'm ready for our cards and I hope if we get gift card or cards we get like one for $25 each."

--------------- when Adam looks at K notepad she had typed --

*Your smell is nice too, um .. Babe ... your scent is one of my mother's fave scents my father wears besides that of weapon cleaners and sweat .. no joke. The plates dropping were a very minor shock for lack of a better word ... Thank you for loving me. Off topic .. I can't wait to slide into a flannel shirt later. I guess we are more than girlfriend and boyfriend. Not being rude but did you need an hour say to relax alone and think before I join you in *the bed* .. Probably not .. odds are you can happily stare at the ceiling if you need a break.*

I put the phone on the table so as to not text while taking a crap .. I guess after I have some oj only we can open the cards .

When Keiko took the keys and took off running he figured she probably had to go to the bathroom eating all that rich food...i bet she's in my bathroom. Adam walked inside his bedroom door was open and the light from the bathroom was on but the door was closed. Adam rubbed his gurgling stomach then went to the far end of the house and into that bedroom, closing the door behind him he went to the bathroom closing and locking the door he didn't need Keiko looking for him and walking in on him. Once he was finished he went to the kitchen and took out 2 wine glasses and a bottle of wine and the charcuterie board or meat, cheese, crackers and fruit that he had his maid make for him. He sat down in the livingroom and waited.
 ..Adam laughed as he thought how she was the only woman that will tell you her bodily functions like that. He just shook his head and smiled.

"No we are still boyfriend and girlfriend and there is nothing that says you can't join me in my bed. I don't have anything to think about, besides I'd get lonely if you weren't there, who would I fight to get the cover from in the middle of the night?" He gave her a big toothy grin.

"Let's go ahead and open my birthday cards now." He patted the spot next to him on the sectional.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 112):

Keiko smiled and gestured that he could unbutton his shirt a little more and asked for a half glass of wine. Adam was given a long, minty kiss on the lips as she had applied flavored gloss.

She handed Adam his cards pile ... then her parent's card which was taken from his jacket's inside pocket. Her card featured Snoopy as the Flying Ace which was paid for and then downloaded from the internet.

She held onto her brothers' card nervously. She then managed a slight smile and relaxed.

Adam opened his envelopes and pued out the birthday cards and read them out loud then looked at the gift cards and was really impressed, it was The wright Brothers on the cards each $50 of a total of $200. Keiko and Adam had $400 total with their gift cards to spend wherever they want. There was also 2 gift cards for Abuelas Mexican Restaurant $50 a piece.

Adam took his shirt off instead of just unbuttoning his shirt. He enjoyed the flavored kiss . He poured her a a half glass of wine and offered her something from the charcuterie board.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 114):

Keiko nervously barely showed she wore a form-fitting one-piece bathing suit under her pjs. She unbottoned the two top buttons on the shirt  ..

She looked Adam over "Adam are we working tomorrow?"

The drink and snack were taken.

She wore the swimsuit so as not to expose too much skin.. she hoped Adam understood why she had done this.

[maybe she didn't wear a suit but she did want to show her bod under the pjs]
This message was last edited by the player at 06:51, Wed 14 June 2023.

Adam took a sip of his wine, he raised a brow as he looked at Keiko, he sometimes feels like she is trying to entice him or seduce him even though she knows how he feels about them not having sex right now.

Adam nodded his head at Keiko's question then answered it, "Yes we are, well at least I have to. I have to be there while they are constructing the new hangers and check the flight manifest for the new company that we just hired us. He mentioned something about a business to Chicago soon and I have to find out what day and how long he plans to stay. So if you want to stay and lounge around the pool and be waited on by Irene then please be my guest, trust me she would love the company."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 116):

Keiko gave Adam a tender lip kiss and then said "I'll earn my keep tomorrow too. Adam  .. I love you and one day things will line up and you will see the body I have under these clothes. This swimsuit was a clumsy attempt to do that. We should head to bed and snuggle. "

Adam held Keiko's hand I his, "I know that me not wanting to rush into things probably makes me sound old fashioned but I just want everything to be perfect I don't want us to jump in the sack and have sex and then later down the line either of us regrets it. I want our relationship to be a stable one." He kissed her hand then held it to his heart and looked into her eyes.
"If you want to I won't mind the company." He smiled at her then said,"I love you too, why dont you go on in the room, grab that flannel shirt you want to wear and I'll put the wine and the rest of the food up so Iree doesn't have to do it tomorrow. Then I'll change into a pair of PJs and then we can snuggle and watch some TV if you want or just go to sleep. We can watch whatever you want. "

In reply to Keiko Forster (msg # 117):

Keiko looked into Adam's eyes "Less hand kissing .. kiss  a cheek or lips please. I know a hand is romantic."

She was already wearing the flannel shirt .. she tugged it to show Adam.

She redressed for bed and joined Adam there.

She had Adam play some non-famous Disney 90s animated feature soundtracks [Hunchback of Notre Dame, A Goofy Movie, etc] on low volume via her ipod.

She kissed Adam "I'd rather talk to my attractive boyfriend and snuggle with music playing in the background. Uhm, Adam .. do you think I'm sexy?"

He laughed, "Hey as long as you don't have a problem if I sing a long a little.

When asked that question he did a double take," Oh my... heavens yes, with all my heart I think you are the sexiest woman I have ever met in my entire life. You're even sexier than Raquel Welch. And the reason I kids your hand so much isn't just for the romantic gesture... I do it sometimes so I don't get us in the throes of passion... When we're not ready yet. Do you know how hard it is to keep my hands off of you? When all I want to do when I see those hips of yours swaying back and forth or when you look at me with those beautiful eyes of yours all I want to do is ravage your body for hours on end. Yes I think you are very sexy. And I love you that you actually thought you had to ask me. "

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 120):

Keiko smiled a little "Just want to make sure everything is aligned."

She silently snuggled with Adam for around fifteen minutes. She then smiled a tiny bit then softly said "Not trying to be rude but I was thinking of going to Geek World and somewhere nearby to eat after work tomorrow. I can do uber for rides and yeah I could order a limo but why do that? You are welcome to join me but you do have your own life to lead sometimes. I just thought I need to remember that. By the by you are sexy as well."
This message was last edited by the player at 08:40, Thu 15 June 2023.

Adam smiled,"You know I think a trip to Geek World would be fun. I have to admit I've never been there before so it will be a new experience for me. And you know we can arrange to have a picnic lunch at Lindsey Park and after work we go to GW them we can go grab some foodage and go to the movies. It's something that I have wanted to do since we got together. If you think I'm getting tired of you you're wrong I'm not, I want to be with you all the time."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 122):

Keiko smiled and said "I don't want to take up every moment of your spare time is my point."

Keiko suddenly looked sullen "Adam, you keep mentioning that you are tempted by my sexy walk and other things. Perhaps we shouldn't share the same bed at night. For a little while. And by the by there have been moments when I've been tempted too. You have treated me admirably. You have admired my brains, brawn and beauty as a package deal. You have said you loved me and hell we nearly got shitfaced together."

Keiko kissed Adam until the duo needed to breathe ...

Adam looked at Keiko, "Do you want to stay in the bedroom that I gave you tonight? If you do then... We can text  back and forth... Something we really haven't done since we got together. And I tell you what we can do my plans sone other time, you take your truck to work in the morning this way you can leave work whenever you want and done have to waste money on an Uber when you have a perfectly good vehicle that can take you around town.  I will probably stay until they are finished building for the day. They already got the 5 slabs of concrete for the floor poured and set so the building will get started tomorrow and they will go until o dark thirty. I'll grab a burger on the way home.  But the next day is Sunday and I am doing my solo song and I am also giving my Testimony so I would like for you to be there. Then maybe we can grab a matinee and eat there. Then maybe if I take those 2 bikes in the garage we can ride the bike trail Through Rose Rudman Park, or we can go paddle boating and have fun at Tyler State Park. But you think about it as you go to your room, I'm going to jump in the shower and probably watch tv since it's only 10pm. Then if you can't sleep txt me. And I'm glad you think I'm sexy too. And before you ask... No I'm not mad that you think we should sleep apart some, I am good with that, I promise. I love you, good night"

He kissed Keiko on her lips then jumped up and went to the bathroom and turned the shower on. Within minutes Adam starts singing the song he might sing tomorrow and it sounds like Josh Turner. Keiko can't believe her ears when she hears Adam singing.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 124):

Keiko took another shower and met Adam at the main bedroom's door and he was given a X kiss.

She smiled and "My door will be open if you need to talk to me in person. And I do want to have more of a relationship with you, Adam [Middle name] Newman. And, I want to be Keiko Newman when the time is right."

The duo soon part and we pick up things at 5:30am Sunday ..

Keiko texted *Hi, I've thought about so much the past few days .. usually the same stuff over and over again. I'm missed you actually talking to me and applying cream to my face tenderly before bed. On the other hand we've given each other time to think about stuff.*

Adam was sent a SFW photo from Friday including a shot of the camera being kissed.

Keiko clicked send from her seat which was outside Adam's door and considered going back to bed.

Adam read his message 0sendi g her a message back he said, "When the time is right... You will become Keiko Newman... Just not when everyone keeps telling us that we have to do it, that it is written in stone. I want us to get married when we both feel it is time for us to get married and not until then. This is our lives not theirs. And damn it woman I have missed you so fracking much. I hug your pillow at night because it has your scent on it. I know you are out in your truck, I see you in your parking spot... Come in and let's cuddle til we have to get up at 7, that will give us an hour and a half to get ready for church. Besides I need you here by my side so I can sing then give my testimony. And that pic of you is extremely deliciously hot. "

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 126):

There came a Keiko style rapping upon Adam's room door a second or two later ..

Keiko stood in the doorway a smilin' when Adam finally noted that she was waiting for him to open the door  ...

Keiko had put on her cream and was carrying a tray of snacks and sausage and canned biscuits. She had ojs [in adult sippy cups] in the pockets of an apron [worn over a flannel pj shirt].

Keiko smiled more and said "Morning, m'love. We can snuggle while you partake of some foodage."
This message was last edited by the player at 08:56, Sat 17 June 2023.

Adam went from a groggy state to being wide awake once he saw Keiko standing in his doorway, carrying a tray of goodies to eat as she worn an apron over the flannel PJ shirt.

He stepped back, "Yes please come in. I would love to partake your goodies. He grinned at her as he walked back to bed and they both climbed in.

A mage appeared with a cup and a jug of coffee and saidper your request sir. .

Adam politely said, "Thank you very much. I really appreciate you."

The mage smiled and nodded his head and disappeared.

Adam looked at the face creamed Keiko and asked, "Why do you wear the face cream? I know most women use some kind of face cream to take off their makeup but rarely wear it afterwards... Especially someone as young as you are."
Adam then handed Keiko a box of tissue, "Here please wipe it off."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 128):

Keiko looked at Adam and looked puzzled "The cream softens my face a little."

She put down the ojs on one of the nightstands and took off the apron.

She then smiled a little, held Adam and then gave him a long and light kiss.

Adam looked serious at Keiko,"Have you ever considered plastic surgery to remove the scar?  It would be good for thought. I've seen how you are in public, how you try to hide your face with your hand or a napkin, well with plastic surgery you wouldn't have to and I have a really good surgeon that can look at your face. He took the scarring away that I had on my back. His name is Dr Stephen LeSavage, and he's great. I have an appointment Monday for him to look at the bottom of my back and schedule that surgery."

Keiko never paid attention that he had some scarring left on the bottom of his back."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 130):

Keiko matched Adam's serious look and then said "I have thought about getting surgery but I've talked myself out of having the procedure done one way or the other. I promise I will look into my options very soon."

She nibbled on a biscuit and some cheese then smiled at her boyfriend ..

Adam just nodded his head and said, "Ok hun, I'm not going to push you into doing something that you don't want to do. Now why don't we just lay
back here and relax until my alarm goes off at 7?"
 Adam leaned against the headboard while eating with left hand and holding Keiko in right arm.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 132):

Keiko cuddled with Adam and gently rubbed his chest.

She said "Adam .. I have not said anything about not wanting to fix my face .. and having to take time off so I can heal and the thought of going under the knife is scary."

She set an alarm on her phone to call a plastic surgeon each day next week.

She looked determined and said "I figure one day next week I'll get in touch with someone and at some point, I'll get evaluated."

Adam kissed the top of Keiko's head,I have an appointment tomorrow, why don't you tag along and while I see my doc? He should be able to look at it and tell you if he thinks anything can be done. I've had 5 operations and looking for number 6 soon.. if he thinks there is anything that can be done he will tell you. He is a very honest and trustworthy man. So what do you say? "

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 134):

Keiko thought of taking a risk and thanking Adam improperly but smiled and instead kissed Adam on his chin "I'll go along in the hope your doctor can evaluate me or schedule me for an appointment for himself or a colleague in the near feature."

Adam smiled and winked at Keiko as there was a knock on the door just as the alarm goes off.
Adam moaned out, "Oh no. Come in."

It was Irene,"Good morning you two beautiful couple. I brought your coffee Mr Adam and I brought your cocoa Miss Keiko. I ironed the light blue shirt that goes with the dark blue suit you decided to wear this morning and... " She came back out of his closet carrying everything. " Your dark blue tie. And Miss Keiko, I ironed the dark blue dress that matches Mr Adam's suit for you and it's hanging up in your room. Oh and I brought along two extra servers another cook and a butler to open the door and take coats. If you need anything else just let me know. "


That is when Keiko realized that Irene had meta powers, she knew that Keiko was wanting coco.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 136):

Keiko looked a little confused when Irene mentioned the extra servers, butler and cook .. and then was a tiny more so when she noted that cocoa was mentioned.

She switched to smiling and said "Thank you Irene. Please add a little cold milk to my cocoa please."

She then noted that Irene was two steps ahead of her with the milk request.

She hugged Adam .. again .. for what the tenth time in as many minutes ...

She released Adam and after any responses and foodage ..

_____________________________________________

Keiko soon returned to Adam's side ..

She was showered, shaved [magic shaver], wore waterproof lipstick but no make-up, hoisery, the blue suit and heels.

Her short hair also had a style to it.
This message was last edited by the player at 07:51, Mon 19 June 2023.

Adam was freshly showered, shaved, had his after shave and cologne, on him then got dressed in his suit, matching socks and shined shoes, even his usually sparklingly teeth looked shinier.

He gave out a wolf whistle when he saw Keiko.
"Damn woman you look  muy caliente."

He saw a look of confusion, "You are probably wondering what all is going on? Well I am throwing a little lunch Soiree. To celebrate my first solo, my Testimony and our union. I hope you don't mind?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 138):

Keiko finished off her now cold cocoa and blushed as Adam called her hot and whistled at her ...

She then said "I was wondering what was happening today." She then looked surprised and her voice went weak "Wait .. uhm Adam, did you just say the words our .. union?"

Keiko's pretty face drained of some of its color and would drain a little more if union meant something today.

Adam smiled at Keiko, "Yes our union, officially announcing us as boyfriend girlfriend... As a couple. I'm sorry if I scared you, that was not my intention what so ever.  So how do I look?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 140):

Keiko smiled a little and whispered "You make that suit look real good Adam Nathaniel Neuman and you didn't scare me .. you confused me. And do you want me occupying the bed next to you regularly again and do you want to discuss intimacy?"

Adam was smiled at a lot more then was hugged carefully [so as to not wrinkle his suit] and kissed on a cheek ... ie very close to his lips ...
This message was last edited by the GM at 13:14, Tue 20 June 2023.

"Yes I want you in my bed and by my side, Why is it you always bring sex into almost every conversation that we have about being together, even if we don't have sex, there are other ways to be intimate with one another. Holding each other, kissing, pda, as long as it isn't vulgar, being there for one another is firms of intimacy other than just having sex. "

In reply to Keiko Forster (msg # 141):

Keiko took a long draw on some juice nearby and smiled a little.

She said "Thoughts of physical intimacy 23 7 in my mind is now off the table .. not sure why I kept harping on it .. perhaps my second batch of teen-agey hormones have kicked in? So, uhm what's next on today's agenda?"
This message was last edited by the player at 14:04, Tue 20 June 2023.

Adam was putting his change in his pocket along with his wallet and cell.
"Ummm Church then the luncheon and pool party... Announcement. Then when everyone leaves whatever we want to do."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 144):

Keiko smiled and whispered "As soon as you are ready, I want to find out what sleeping next to you naked is like. And I mentioned sex again. I hope we sort out all the types of intimacy reasonably soon."

She frowned and took out her compact then said in a calm and louder voice "I know you'll say I look fine but I should have used a little make-up and highlighted a few spots."

She checked that she had everything when she ditched the compact and held her arm out for Adam to take if they were going somewhere.

She smiled and then fopishly gestured with her free hand and said in a 'regal' voice "Lead on McDuff."

Next post I City of Tyler Tx.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 146):

Our duo was back at the Newman Ranch and Keiko was in their bedroom.

Keiko had stripped out of her dress and hung it up, taken a shower and was currently dressed in a long, 2X and black baseball jersey.

When Adam stopped by, Keiko was laying flat on their bed ... she had four different colored and crumpled one-piece swimsuits [she had been trying to select *the perfect suit*]. A fifth [which was colored a few shades darker blue than her dress] suit was clutched in one of her hands.

She suddenly sat up and put the four suits on the bed on a nearby chair, noticed Adam was there and he had closed the room's door behind them. She yawned ...

Keiko switched to smiling a little at Adam "It's so amazing that all I thought I was doing initially with this new job was helping the son of my father's best friend with an issue because I was honor bound to do so."
This message was last edited by the player at 12:11, Thu 06 July 2023.

Adam let out a laugh, "Yeah and you saw how long that lasted now didn't ya?" He winked at her.

He went to his closet and pulled out a dark blue t-shirt then went to his dresser and pulled out a pair of new dark blue/light blue swimming trunks. He pulled the tag off then went to the bathroom coming out a few minutes later in said shirt and swim clothes.

He put on a pair of sport socks and Jordans then stood up, "So whatcha think?" And I think the dark blue/light bluevswim suit would look great on you and we would match. "

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 148):

Keiko broadly smiled then said "You look sexy, Adam."

She waited for a reaction then gave Adam a kiss on a cheek very near his lips.

She then happily walked away to change for the party ... and said softly "Hold any thoughts and close your eyes."

The bathroom door soon closed.

Keiko soon returned wearing the swimsuit, one of Adam's [open] short-sleeve button-down shirts, a pair of shorts with stuff in the pockets and water shoes.

Keiko used her official commanding tone and said "You may now open your eyes, darling'"

When Adam opened his eyes, he was given a tender, cherry-tasting kiss on the lips.

When breathing was required, Keiko used her best version of a faux Texas 'accent' ... "So whatcha think?"

Keiko then put a Cowboy Bebop [with Faye image on it] ballcap on her head.
This message was last edited by the player at 19:06, Fri 07 July 2023.

Adam took Keiko by her hand and walked her over to a what looked like a freshly painted wall. He cleared his throat and faced her,"The guys doing the work on the hub well I've thrown them some business... You know word of mouth... So Alonzo was more than happy to put his best guys on this job."
He walked over to the wall and gently touched it and it opened up and he pulled the door completely opened and inside is a fully equipped, luxurious closet. Along with a shoe rack and a vanity.
Adam's eyes were lit up as he stepped back and said, "This is all for you. I want you to move in with me. Until we are ready for the next step in our relationship. What do you say? If there is anything you don't like about it, or anything you want added to it, just let me know and it's for the taking. If it isn't big enough, there is plenty of more room to make it bigger. I am also making plans of building a his and her bathrooms so that you can have that claw hammered tub that you mentioned that night in Houston that you have always wanted. And anything else that you want changed or redecorated." He shook his head and sighed," I want you to be here all the time, please say yes , please say that you will move in with me. I love you. I don't want any one but you."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 150):

Keiko smiled and made a timeout signal with her hands.

She then softly said "Adam ... as much as I liked my mother's private clawed tub at Chez Forster .. I am fine with the bathroom set-ups we have at Chez Newman. And no new bathrooms are required. I may want an official den space at some point. So ... what we have here works for me."

She walked into her new closet hand in hand with Adam and inspected it.

She touched the various components and smiled more "Repurposed wood .. very nice."

She walked out of the closet hand in hand with Adam and then they sat on the bed ... Adam was given a series of tender lip kisses and was hugged a little too tight.

She then pulled her head back, loosened her grip and said "Thank you for asking me to move in with you. I officially accept. I love you Adam."

Adam grinned and reached under the bed and pulled out a box, in said box there was a leather keychain with Keiko's initials in it and the leather smelled of Keiko's favorite scent. It had keys with different color coding wrappings around them. She already knew what each color meant having had Adam's keys as many times as she had already had them. 7 keys the 7th being the storm cellar in the basement of the garage.

He then pulled out a brochure and it showed a picture of a  mailbox that said Newman/Forster sitting on top of a white barn and a sunset behind their names.

"This is our new mailbox."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 152):

Keiko smiled broadly and locked lips with Adam.

Adam felt his girlfriend's tongue explore his mouth and then the front door rang.

Reluctantly Keiko had to end this tender moment with a kiss near Adam's lips.

Keiko got up, smiled at Adam, she then straightened her back and sultrily walked towards their bedroom door. She came close to saying she wanted to amp things up in bed later with Adam.

Adam was watched for any reaction and given time to compose himself.

The room door was opened and Keiko walked normally towards the front door which through some guests had already entered.

Adam composed himself and met their first guest at their house warming and their big announcement.

The company was all greeted, Keiko faithfully by his side as he introduced her to all his friends and business associated that attended. The food was buffett style, everyone hung out around the pool, some swam, some just soaked up the sun, but all enjoyed each other's company.

Adam got everyone's attention and made his announcement...

"Hey everyone just wanted to say thank you for coming and tell you all how much each and everyone of you mean to me... To us. Those that attended church know that I performed this morning and gave my testimony, well I have one more testimony that I have to give."

He turned and faced Keiko, "This beautiful woman means so much to me and I asked her to move in with me and she agreed to it. But you know I was thinking. You all know how old fashioned I am. I just can't in good conscience do that without some form of commitment."

He bent down in front of Keiko on one knee and said," So Keiko... My love will you marry me?"

Adam was hoping  Keiko said yes...

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 154):

Keiko was slightly in shock but recovered reasonably quick yet she began to tear up.

Keiko looked at the audience poised at the ready with mostly cell phones in hand.

Keiko then looked back down at Adam with a neutral look on her face.

As soon as she helped Adam to his feet, Keiko pulled him to her and smirked.

She then said in Japanese "Of course I will marry you Adam."

The long tender kiss and accompanying hug was a blatant clue as to what Keiko had said and the crying and clapping began ...

Keiko chuckled and kept the kiss going as her brothers golf clapped ...

Adam got kissed a few times quickly in succession then Keiko needed to pause to breathe.

Keiko was very glad that Adam had turned the volume on the duo's cell phones on low/ low buzz ...

Adam was ecstatic that Keiko agreed to marry him. He couldn't be any happier at that very moment.

Keiko's phone rang, when she answered it it was her grandmother and mother on video chat saying,"Congratulations my little KIKI girl. We couldn't be happier. Adam's a fine young man and you will never want for anything." The grandmother popped up and said, ",I told you... It was destiny..." She began laughing as her mother ended the call by saying, "We love you.," In Japanese.

Adam had given Keiko her privacy while she was in the phone he had a conversation with his dad, mom and siblings in the same room... They had gone to the vacation cabin together... Adam didn't care... He knew they were seeing one another... It was easier to tell them this way... They were happy about and couldn't wait to through the dinner before the wedding.

Adam can be found in his recliner holding the box the ring was in. He hadn't gotten the chance to put it in her before she was rushed and hugged by her brothers and got the call from her folks. So he just waited until she got to him to give it to her.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 156):

When it was a little quieter, Keiko went to get a semi-healthy snack and a liter of ginger ale from the kitchen.

Keiko was then ushered out of the kitchen by Irene who referred to the younger woman as the lady of the house.

Keiko then took a thirty-minute tour of the inside of what was now her home.

Keiko returned to Adam's side after another fifteen minutes.

Adam saw some of the walking around via security cameras and fell asleep.

Adam was awoken by a sensual and cherry flavored kiss on his lips by a freshly showered Keiko who had neglected to brush her shorthair.

The bride to be wore only an extra-large Sugar Land Space Cowboys baseball jersey, a sports bra, shorts and slippers.

Adam rubbed his face and looked around and was quite relieved that everyone had finally partied themselves out and left.

He pulled her down into his recliner with him and where she was not sitting in his lap she was turned sideways and her legs were across his lap.

He smiled as he reached up and ran his fingers through her wet hair and gently untangled her hair until hi hand ran smoothly through it.

He widened his eyes,"Looks like I fell asleep and luckily I woke up and all are gone and it is." He looked at the clock on the wall then said, "Four o'clock and we have the rest of the afternoon to ourselves before..." He looked at what she was wearing," before your family show up here for dinner at 8. Kev texted me after he got home and said your mom and grandma is frantically cooking a traditional Japanese Engagement party meal and will be bringing it over at 8 tonight. At least I think it said tonight, I was asleep when I read it. " He pulled his phone and read it out loud, :YO HEADS UP MAMA M AND GRAMS ARE COOKING A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE PARTY MEAL, YOU TWO WILL BE PRESENTED WITH THE TRADITIONAL ROBES TO WEAR FOR THE PARTY. SO TAKE A SHOWER AND SMELL GOOD AND FOR GODS SAKE ACT SURPRISED.  CONGRATS MAN SEE YA TONIGHT KEV.:

"So since I never got the chance to make this official." He pulled a little black velvet box from his pocket and opened it, showing Keiko the heart shaped diamond ring with sapphire clusters around the heart.
He slipped it on her finger, Well you did say yes, so... No take backseys...," He then slipped on to his ring finger what appeared to be a mans  version of an engagement ring.
"Now it is official we are engaged. So what do you want to do before your family gets here? And I kinda figure they will be here earlier than 8 so I'll make sure that I grab a shower and shave off my 5 o'clock shadow off and smell and look good for your folks. he. But that gives us at least a good hour before  I grab a shower to do what you want."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 158):

Keiko was amazed that Adam was fine with the near lap dance so quickly.

She slipped off of Adam's lap after French kissing him ...

She spoke in a low voice even though she could see Irene and a few others were elsewhere in the house via a monitor near the duo.

She said "I'm thinking that for a few hours, we can watch some stuff out here or in our bedroom. We can snuggle too or not .. we can talk about your doctor's appointment tomorrow." She looked down at Adam's crotch "I could help you to relax too."

She set her phone alarm for 6 and looked up and into Adam's eyes ..
This message was last edited by the player at 22:36, Sat 22 July 2023.

Adam nodded in agreement, "How about you find us something to watch and I will run through the shower and shave to get a clean face then I'll put on some nice clothes, the cologne you bought me for my birthday and we will watch something out here. This way when your family show up at 6 we are ready for them and not scrambling trying to get ready for them. Irene is doing a Hitler cleaning in the kitchen, so it will be spotless.  All the silverware has been polished and the glassware has been cleaned so there will be no spots on them." He grinned and if you would like while I am showering and shaving why don't you go ahead and try out your new wardrobe closet/vanity? This way you will be ready as well because I know you don't want to be dressed comfy sexy around your folks. "

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 160):

Keiko sighed "Actually, I wouldn't want dress too comfy and sexy around my grandparents." She stopped to drink some water and look at the time. She then added to her commentary. "I hope my family shows up closer to seven. Off topic .. what is our work schedule this week? I do need to finish a couple of projects off this week."

After the duo took separate showers, they met up again.

Keiko wore a slight amount of make-up and a dress that was compatible in color to Adam's clothing choice. Her hair was dry and brushed ...

After our duo shared a long and very tender kiss, Keiko said "My new closet is very nice and so is the new vanity and chair. Thank you."

Keiko smiled as Adam kissed her again.

The duo soon settled down to watch Cunk On Earth on Netflix.

Just as the alarm went off on Keiko's phone that she had set earlier the buzzer at the gate went off then you can hear Karl saying,"Kiki girl its your dad and family we're here for the engagement dinner."

Adam's body seized up a moment, "Crap Irene reset the gate."

Adam then jumped up and ran to do door and pushed a button then the intercom,"Come on through." He went ahead and released the gate to stay opened. He knew her brothers weren't about to ride over with the parents and grandparents, no way no how.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 162):

'Kiki' touched up her lipstick, checked her hose and low-heeled shoes....

She had just straightened her dress when heck broke loose.

Luckily only Adam and Irene caught that Keiko looked really concerned when Adam seized up.

The family entered a few moments later.

The future bride smiled at and blew a slight kiss towards her koibito [lover].

She then unnecessarily straightened the dress again ..

Then a few moments later Keiko gave her family hugs which included Adam.

Ted 'complimented' his sister and said that she cleaned up nice.

Keiko jokingly gave her bro 'the Spock eyebrow.'

Hikuru had her wagon trailing behind her with all the dishes that been prepared for the nights feast.
After niceties she simply said, "Point grandmother and I to the kitchen and you can start setting the table Keiko."

Knowing that Keiko had no clue where his fine dinner ware was he thought he would try the mind thing and hope he did it right.
Babe the fine China is in the pantry, there is another door  just open it and you can decide what China pattern, stem ware and cutlery you want used tonight.  The code is 4655 enter the door will unlock. love you gonna entertain your dad and grandpa and brothers on the patio.

Adam and the men walked out to the patio for a drink from his outside bar and so that the 2 elder men can look at the vast properly that was Adam's Ranch. Including swimming pool, tennis court, and stables with horses.

He called out the men's name and they all bellied up to the bar for their drinks while the women did what grandpa called it one of the things women do best and laughed.

In reply to Hikuru Forster (msg # 164):

Keiko led her elders to the kitchen, gave them the dollar tour, loaded up the dinnerware on a cart and bowed to said elders ..

Keiko went to the dining room and messaged back to Adam .. *Love you too and I was able to get to the hidden tableware without setting off an alarm.*


Keiko then went back to the kitchen to at least try to support some morals after she and Irene set the table.
This message was last edited by the player at 03:37, Sat 19 Aug 2023.

It was acknowledged that Irene would serve the meal. She has knowledge of the Japanese custom of how the meals are served, after spending 5 years learning to cook under Chef Morimoto and learning all of the Japanese ways.

The table was set with the Japanese China pattern that Keiko picked out. Grandmother saw this and smiled and nodded her head. Once they all took their seats Irene began serving the Elder men to the youngest of the men then did the same with the women. She poured their wine in the crystal stemware not spilling a drop of food or liquid. She bowed and walked out backwards back into the kitchen.

Adam waited for the Grandfather to say his prayer as well as the grandmother. Then Adam has to stand and ask the Elders permission to marry Keiko, with a promise of a dowry. His finest horse. The one that both of Keiko's parents showed interest in. They both agreed then he made a speech to the honorable grandparents. Blah blah blah... And was granted permission but the bride had to remain virginal until the wedding. Adam agreed, it might not have set well with Keiko but that was his idea to begin with. He finally turned to Keiko, having gotten the ring back from her, got down on one knee, the two won't let out a small squeal, and asked Keiko to marry him.... Big long speech blah... Blah... Blah
Then presented her the ring and waited for her answer. He hoped she would answer soon his back was about to go out along with his knee.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 166):

Keiko noted that Adam was having back and leg issues ...

Adam was then helped to sit in a comfortable chair by Keiko and Karl.

The duo resumed looking into each other's eyes and the handholding.

Keiko's face was neutral. Her hair and clothing were straight and her posture was perfect ,,,

She then spoke in formal Japanese .. "I thank you, Adam Nathan Newman for formally acknowledging my culture's marriage rituals. I thank you for professing your interest in marrying me."

She switched to English "I also want to thank you for hiring me on as an employee of your company."

Adam was then kissed tenderly and then Keiko addressed everyone "I, Keiko Forster accept this proposal of marriage under the terms that have been set down."

She smiled a little at that point then looked over at her elders "I trust our ancestors are smiling down upon the union between Adam and myself. And thank you .. my honorable Obaasan, Qjiisan, Toosan and Okaasan for allowing the union between Adam and myself."

Grandmother nodded her head and said,"Your ancestors are smiling up on you and your betrothed and I must say this."

She had a devious smile," I told you that you two were going to get married and you both said oh no we're just friends. Friends my Great Aunt Fannie. I'm happy for you little one. You were happy then and you are happy now and you will continue being happy in the future."

She raised her glass,"To Adam and Keiko may their happiness bring lots of babies to spoil and love." Everyone said," Here here."

Adam smiled and clicked his glass to Keiko's and said,"To us and our happiness." He kissed her cheek then grandfather said,"Let's eat!"

And the eating began...

In reply to Siekomo Merimuto (msg # 168):

Roughly an hour later, Keiko's parents were alone in the open [as in the door is open] room Keiko had claimed as her future den.

They watched on a monitor the bulk of the other folks fraternize in the dining area nearby.

Keiko was commanding Adam to take a load off and then sat down near him.

----

Karl held Hikuru "What a day my dearest Hikuru ... our youngest child will be a wife soon. Off topic .. you look even more beautiful tonight."

Karl smiled and brushed one of Hikuru's cheeks with a hand.

Hikuru moved her face into Karl's hand.
"She is going to make a beautiful bride and Adam a most handsome groom. They fit so well together. Just like us my love, I hope they are as happy as we are."

In reply to Hikuru Forster (msg # 170):

Karl tenderly cupped both of his wife's cheeks in turn and then Hikuru was given a kiss on her forehead ..

When Hikuru took a breath, she was smiled at, and Karl said "I am amazed that Adam and Kiki have so much in common. And I am so happy to be a perfect fit for you, Hikuru ."

Karl smirked and said "Off topic, if my wife has nothing planned the next two days, I'd like to whisk her away to somewhere reasonably close. We'll head out between ten am and noon tomorrow. If plans have been made, we will go on the expedition the next possible day."

Karl then softly said "I love you Hikuru Forster ... and thank you for being the glue that keeps our family together."
This message was last edited by the GM at 05:32, Fri 11 Aug 2023.

Hikuru smiled at Karl,"Yes I am so happy for the both of them. They will be very happy and they live right around the corner, so we can still see her." Hikuru made a face,"Why reasonably close? Why don't we go to Colorado and go skiing in the mountains? We can rent that sweet little cabin up there and ski in the day time and sit in the hot tub at night." She raised her brows at Karl hoping she can sway him to want to go.

In reply to Hikuru Forster (msg # 172):

Karl rolled his eyes as he could tell his wife was using her wiles to *con* him into agreeing to a skiing trip.

Karl pulled out his cell and called to arrange for time at the Colorado cabin plus two travel days [which included tomorrow] ...

The couple would leave Texas on Tuesday.

Karl smiled as he saw that this plan was 'acceptable' with the wife ....

Karl said "There was no reason for to stay close for our trip .. it was just a random suggestion. I figured you'd strongly suggest where you wished to go if I had no firm direction in mind. I also figured you are Jonesing to go skiing judging by the scent you are wearing."

Karl locked lips with Hikuru's luscious ones after gently pulling her head and body to his.

Kev entered the room and watched the parents talk and kiss.

Kev smiled a little and said to his mother when she needed a breather "Mom, is there anything that Ted, Keiko and I need to do at Chez Forster while you guys are skiing?"

In reply to Kevin 'Kev' Forster (msg # 173):

In the dining room, Adam poured Keiko some sake and she reciprocated with soda or water if alcohol wasn't desired by him per Japanese custom.

Keiko smiled, sipped her drink and said 'Thank you again, Adam for arranging to ask your doctor about my scarring tomorrow. I love you. By the way what is our work schedule for the rest of the week? '
This message was last edited by the player at 13:42, Wed 16 Aug 2023.

Adam sipped on a glass of ice tea and said,"It's ok sweetheart. I know you are a little self conscious about it and I don't want you to be. I want every body to see your beautiful face at our wedding. Did you hear that? Our wedding... Sounds wild doesn't it?"
When she asked about work he looked at he and cleared his throat and came back to reality.
"It's pretty light this week. You have Bill Palmers plane to work on in hanger?" He stood up and walked over to his briefcase. He hadn't planned on this being a working meeting but he guessed he was wrong.
He turned around and said,"Since all the new hangers passed inspection yesterday and I got a A in the inspection. So Bill's plane in hanger 10, Terry will be in hanger 7 working on Jerry Caldwell's plane. I have a flight Tuesday to Kansas and back Wednesday after. So inventory and clean up Wednesday Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday I need a once over on my plane Black Beauty... I'm taking her out to Shreveport Friday coming back and coming home I don't know Saturday or maybe Sunday... "
He waits until she looks at him and gives him that Keiko look then he lets out a chuckle and said," What day do you want to come back? Saturday or Sunday?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 175):

Keiko then looked at Adam in a different way .. this time she was semi-deep in thought.

She stopped thinking and said "So .. I have the project in Hangar 10 on Tuesday, and you'll be in Kansas on Tuesday and Wednesday. There'll then be three days of taking stock of things and I'd like to come back on Sunday. Perhaps I can take the controls of Black Beauty at some point. Off topic .. while I was grabbing some of our better sake, I texted my mom and queried if she would be interested if any jobs opened up at the hub. Perhaps I shouldn't have typed anything."

She sipped her Sake and cheered up a little when Adam answered her then she said "Did you have any dates in mind for our wedding? Perhaps near my birthday unless you have a lot of business scheduled before all the students go back to school and college."

She put down the duos' drinks, used breath spray, hugged Adam and gave the man she loved a passionate kiss.

She managed to mind link *I cannot wait until I can sleep naked in your arms often.*

----------------------

Keiko's birthday is on August 19th ...

August 19th is also National Aviation Day in the US and the observance of Orville Wright's bday
This message was last edited by the player at 04:27, Sun 20 Aug 2023.

He sent her a message back*How about every night?*

He thought about it a minute,"Do I want your mother to know everything about my business?Did you forget that I have an office manager and that would be the only position that would be opened... And well if you two can get along I don't see why she can't be hired for the job that is if the job isn't beneath her. Oh and Mrs. Lenders is leaving us. Her husband just got mandatory retired and they are moving to Boca Raton, Florida... This week. So we will need her... Monday so she can be trained about the business. Do emphasize her need. And how about we get married August 20th. The day after your birthday so you don't have to celebrate our anniversary and your birthday together. How does that sound?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 177):

Keiko sighed and finished her drink, looked down at her iphone then brightened up then said "Woo hoo  .. I never sent that text!!!"

She looked up at Adam and thought *I wish we could snuggle that way tonight.*

She typed out a mass text to close family and friends

Adam and I have decided to have our wedding on Sunday, August 20, 2023.

She handed Adam her iphone to press enter and send the message ..

She nervously waited for the enter button to be pressed by Adam and it was  ..

Keiko said "I hope you find a replacement for Mrs. Lenders."

Karl said to Kev as he held Hikuru tenderly "Standard Operating Procedure will be the plan while your mother and I take our vacation."

Kev saluted his parents in turn and then left the room.

Hikuru was smiled at and released from the hug as Kiki's text tone [for the wedding announcement] was heard.

[continued from post #173]
This message was last edited by the GM at 02:57, Thu 24 Aug 2023.

Hikuru looked at Karl,"We put our vacay off for a week because we don't have long to get the best Japanese Wedding anyone could ever imagine. I wonder if Madame Mimisiku is still catering weddings. She is great at last minute events. I'll call her." A small squeal can be heard from Hikuru as she reached in her purse and grabbed the wrong phone and cut a look to Karl then tossed the phone back in her back and grabbed her phone and dialed Mimisiku the two began to talk like old friends. As Hikuru completely walked away from Karl, throwing daggers at him with her eyes.

Adam looked at Keiko"I thought I would hire your mother. I think she would be an asset for my company. What do you think? Text her tell she can start Monday, be there  at 8 so we can get the paperwork and job performance and start her training. And we can start the. We can get with her on her lunch break to discuss our wedding."

He pulled her close, whispered,"I love you soon to be Mrs Adam Newman.,"

In reply to Hikuru Forster (msg # 180):

<sub>Karl looked at Hikuru curiously as he wondered why she was giving him the look.

He canceled the vacation plan if need be


[They had time</sub> to do the vacation too .
 I think..unless the story was jumped ahead ..]

___

Keiko answered Adam."You may want to ask my mother when she would be able to start and do not assume she will accept the job. And I love you too, my soon to be husband."

Keiko hugged Adam and he received a passionate kiss.

Keiko broke the kiss and texted Adam a few pics of her wearing a skimpy two piece bathing suit and blushed.

The time and date stamp was from earlier today
This message was last edited by the player at 23:30, Sat 26 Aug 2023.

Adam and Keiko went to find her parents.
Adam thought he would ask her personally instead over a text.

Hikuru finished her conversation and turned with a smile, "Alright everything will be arranged by Madame Mimisiku. And since this is such short notice we will go in and be fitted for our attire for the day but her and her staff will make Kikis dress for her. She will contact Forever Flowers to take care of all of the arrangements. Now that is done postpone our vacation for two weeks then you can explain to me why Brenda Sue is texting you again and leaving messages like, yesterday was so much fun baby we have to find time to do it again and without your wife knowing about it. And leaving 20 text messages and no I didn't open up but one of them but I counted them. I thought you ended it with her last year. That is why we went through all that counseling. Dont answer me now wait until we get home. Today is the children's day.

Adam and Keiko walked in, you could cut the tension with a knife.

Adam asked,"Our we interrupting anything?"

Hikuru smiled, "No I was just tell Daddy the good news. I got Madame Mimisiku to arrange the whole wedding clothing and all. Her and her staff are going to make your dress. We have to all go in tomorrow to be fitted and get your thoughts on your design for a traditional Japanese wedding dress. And Forever Flowers are doing the arrangements they just need your colors."

Adam smiled, "Well that is fabulous news. Makes what I was going to ask you small. But here goes. I would like to hire you to come work for me in the office as my executive assistant, you will run the office and take care of my books. And if you accept my offer I would like for you to start your train this week with Mrs.Lainards and so she would know all the accounts. If that's possible. Then we would go from there. Well what do you say? "

She nodded her head,"That would be just fine. I would love it. Thank you."

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 182):

Keiko mentioned the doctor's appointment ... and the fitting would be scheduled around that .. and then she mentioned her work schedule and the planned flight later in the week ...

Soon it is time for bed for our duo ...

Keiko was showered and freshly dressed in a set of parrothead pjs and no underclothes ...

She had a tailored casual suit hanging up and ready to wear in the morning.

She held Adam tight and gave him a few XX kisses...

She suddenly unlocked her lips from Adam's, looked puzzled then and frowned ..

Keiko then said in a slightly elevated voice ... "What are 'our colors', Adam? Perhaps two complimentary colors on a tunic or some such over a white dress for me or a two color dress .. perhaps purple will work?"

She then sighed and started to calm down...
This message was last edited by the player at 16:10, Wed 30 Aug 2023.

Adam shrugged then said,"Me and my guys are wearing black with oriental designs in the background. I've already ordered them and they've been shipped and put away, so it's all about you. If you want your girls to wear purple then I think that would be lovely. I would like it if you could have a I don't a swatch of material from what I'm wearing sewed into your gown somewhere would be really cool. If you don't mind."

Adam was wearing pajama bottoms, of course he had on underwear, he knew being next to Keiko he needed to wear them. He had a suit hanging up on his closet door.
He looked at Keiko, "You are so beautiful, did you know this? How in the hell did I get do damn lucky to fall in love with you?"

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 184):

Keiko smiled and looked narrowly at her soon to be husband ..

She softly said "Adam .. You talked to a woman you barely knew about common interests, you looked past her scarring, found her beautiful, was fascinated that she spoke like a BBC drama reject [she chuckled], you said you'd keep her safe .. all these things and more intrigued her and led to you falling in love with me .. odds are I didn't have to actually have to answer your query."

She smirked, shrugged and gave Adam's bod a once over and then looked into his eyes "Uhm ... Did you want me to keep to my side of the bed a lot more when we go to sleep until we wed? We can roll in a single bed. By the way .. you remind me of a Greek god's statue. And yeah I know I'm beautiful .. my future, very attractive hubby calls me that about twenty times a day." [she blushed and paused to think]

She then said "Uhm .. just thought of this ... as far as the wedding attire, I'd love to go with the purple dress color scheme with my bridesmaids wearing lighter shades .. mauve or thistle, maybe .... or perhaps a green between light and medium. Oh, I love the swatch idea you mentioned."

Adam wasn't held right now but was given a long, passionate kiss on his lips ..

Keiko frowns as she has to urinate ..

She hurries off to pee without her charging phone and she gets a text ..

The text tone is Top Gun Anthem

It takes a moment for Adam to remember the that the tone belongs to a Squadron mate named Robert Franklin who calls Keiko every few months to check in ..

Robert and Keiko dated while in the service but drifted apart [no plan for an NPC here] ..

Adam is also reminded of the fact that Keiko's nickname in the service was Swiftlet.
This message was last edited by the player at 16:03, Sat 02 Sept 2023.

Adam shook his head,"There is no reason for you to sleep anywhere but in my arms like you have since we have been together. And I it is pretty damn cool in your culture that the bride doesn't have to wear white, purple would look beautiful on you and I'm glad you like the idea of the swatch. I'll make sure that you have it when you go see Madame Mimisiku so she can see it in the dress. And thank you for thinking that I look like a Greek God." He chuckled,"I just always thought I looked like an egg head."
Keiko had to go pee Adam sat up and picked up a book he was reading called the Spare by Prince Harry. His mother recommended it. He heard her phone go off and figured she would be in there awhile talking to her old AF friend.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 186):

Keiko came back from the bathroom and the text was mentioned.

Keiko picked up the phone and called Robert ..

They talked for ten minutes ...

* they would talk much more tomorrow

* Robert [codename Hawkman] and his family were invited to wedding

* Keiko signed off by saying "Swiftlet ... out."

The call was ended and Keiko curled up in Adam's arms.

Adam was tenderly kissed on his lips then Keiko said "I guess tomorrow you and I are going to make a list of people we wish to invite t0 the wedding."

Adam was then kissed at the bottom of his neck and behind bis ears then Keiko pulled her head up ... she then spoke in Japanese "Adam, to me you do not look like an egghead .. simple. ... To me you are a sexy Adonis who has treated me beyond well."
This message was last edited by the player at 04:51, Sun 03 Sept 2023.

Adam he didn't care that she had a conversation with her old friend and why Keiko thought it was necessary to call him in front of him he would never figure it out nor would be ask her.

He gently rubbed her back as they kissed.. he licked his lips, licking the lip gloss taste that was left on his lips, a taste he has grown find of thanks to Keiko.

Adam blinked a couple of times saying to himself,(back to reality dude,)

"Oh yeah I guess we do need to invite people." He chuckled.
"How many are we allowed to invite? And if it's ok I would like my mom and siblings to be to be dressed in the Traditional Outfits too. I'll pay for my mother's dress and I already have Q's we just need to get Selma's measurements and get her dress, and I didn't want my dad to feel snubbed I got him something to wear... Damn I guess we gotta include Zoe in the wedding party because she is family. But I'll pay for the 3 females if need be."

Adam thought a minute,"Did I ask how many are we allowed to invite? I may invite some clients that would give us kickass gifts but would appreciate being invited. Do we give each other gifts in front of everyone because if we do I know the perfect gift to give you."

Adam closed his eyes as Keiko kissed on him, he can see now that once they are married and are allowed to have sex... He won't get any sleep.

He smiled at her, he didn't want to tell her that he understood her. He simply said," I love you my precious plum.'

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 188):

Keiko yawned and smiled at her engagement ring and blushed when she was called a precious plum.

She then looked over at Adam when she got her mom's text and then smiled more.

Adam was told "My mother texted that all is well at House Forster and that she is thankful again for the employment opportunity [and Adam was filled in on the skiing holiday]."

She smiled even more when her scar was softly touched by Adam.. and she rubbed her head against his hand.

She then said "It will be so nice to find out if my scar can be dealt with tomorrow, darling"

Adam was then given a long, tender kiss meant to curl his toes .. and she put a hand on Adam's heart ..

The rest of Adam's chest [except for the nipples] was gingerly touched by her other hand ...

Keiko suddenly said in a firm voice "I have some ideas for a gift for you and I'd like to trade pressies at our wedding, Adam. As far as how many people we can invite ... we should ask my parents what venue they are going to use. And I will pay half your costs for your family's clothing even if I have to sneak the money back to you in the future."

When Keiko kissed him Adam could feel his heart beat fast,extremely fast, faster than normal.
She placed her hand on his chest his breathing became labored, as he thought his heart was going to explode.
Adam smiled., as he thought of the perfect gift for his beloved wife to be.
"Exchanging presents would be great sweetheart and I promise the gift I give you will not embarrass you. And you are too late about paying for my families clothing... I've already paid for it and Mom's, that woman dad is unhappily married to and  Selma is already arranged with Madame Mimisiku and she was happy with the money that was offered. So how about the money you wanted to spend on half of my side of the family wedding attire, spend it on our Honeymoon. You can pay half and I'll pay the other half and we can go wherever you want to go and I will fly us there in my private plane. What do you think?"

Adam took Keiko's hands in his and kissed them , looking in her eyes as he does this.

In reply to Adam Newman (msg # 190):

Keiko seriously looked at Adam then said in her oh so proper British tone "Adam .. We'll share costs then and I'd rather neither of us fly us to the location I choose so we can relax.  As to said location .. perhaps Disney World or Disney Land. Perhaps we can fly a commercial flight to the location and arrange to deliver a plane back to Texas. And perhaps we can each fly half the return flight."

Her facial expression became softer and she smiled "I love you."

Keiko wrapped herself around Adam [as tight as he would allow] and kissed him until breathing was required ..

Adam looked into Keiko's eyes,"You know what? We are going to do this right...we will fly first class. It is our honeymoon. Why should either one of us have to work... We need to save up our energy for better things." He wiggled his eyebrows at Keiko to make her laugh.

[Our duo appear next via internet chat at the Forster home]
