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?"

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."

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.

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.
This message was last edited by the player at 14:38, Sat 15 July 2023.

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 ...
This message was last edited by the player at 09:40, Tue 18 July 2023.

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 ..

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."
