Hikuru jumped up from the table, "Karl make Akari a cup of Chamomile tea. It will settle her nerves."
She sits on the other side of Akari, "Dear do you need to go to Houston to be with them? I'm sure we can get you there after Adam and Ki-Ki's doctors appointment. You know my future son-in-law owns his own Aircraft Business and is a very successful pilot." She looked up at Adam and asked,"Do you think that would be possible to get her to her parents and grandparents in Houston... Son? That is after you two see the doctor first."
Adam blushed and was delighted and damn near giddy at being called son by his future mother-in-law.
Adam nodded his head, "Of course it is, I can call Lloyd to gas up my Black Beauty and I can do and I can just do a turn around flight. Drop her off and come back, easy peasy lemon squeezy."

In reply to Hikuru Forster (msg # 127):

Akiri took a breather and then texted Ted "I'm happy your family likes me."

Akari was texted by a cousin then smiled re-assuredly at Hikuri "Mrs. Forster, Adam thank you for very kind offer, but I don't require to be flown or driven to Houston. My mother just texted that many of our relations will be descending on Houston during the day ... and we can text and facetime whenever for the moment. I have been assured that my grandparents are okay."

Akari smiled a little at Ted then over at Hikuru again "Not to mention I was planning to surprise Ted and have the bulk of the day with him."

She blushed and squeezed one of Ted's hands and took the tea from Karl.

She smiled at Karl and said "Thank you for the tea, Mr. Forster."

In reply to Akari Masaki (msg # 128):

Akari blanched as she realized the full situation again "Adam, Mrs. Forster .. I appreciate what you are probably going to be trying to do for me. I would prefer to arrange a flight when and if I can."

Adam nodded,"Ok but it's Monday now if something comes up and you need to go please do not hesitate to call me or well call Keiko and she will let me know. I won't be going out of town until Tuesday so everything is good. She can always fly you there or Terry can. So just let us know."
He looked at Keiko and Hikuru and clapped his hands,"Ok girls it's time to go to work. Mrs. Forster you are more than welcome to drive in with us if you would like. We have to make a pit stop at 7 Brothers Coffee so I can pick up my usual on the way to the airport."
He walked towards the door and waited for Keiko.

Hikuru waved her hand," oh no that's quite alright, Karl is going to drop me off on his way to the office. Besides I not completely finished dressing."

Adam nodded and shrugged at the same time,"Alright no problem, we will see you there. Keiko are you ready?"

Keiko finished applying a light amount of lip gloss and then put on a ball cap and shades "I'm ready, Adam."

She smiled, kissed and then took one of Adam's hands in hers ....

Adam and Keiko leave for the doctors office ...........


Hikuru slipped her heels on and looked at Karl,"Alright I think I have everything that I am going to need. Note pads, pens, pencils, erasers, liquids paper, dramine,  my Skittles water enhancers and snacks. Thank you Ted for fixing up my snack pack for me."
 Ted smiled at Mama H and said, "I wanted your first day to go great with no hiccups and also I love you."
Hikuru started fanning her face,"Damn it Ted your going to make me cry."
To stay in the theme of the Hub Kev walked over and handed Mama H a box,"I made this for you, I hope you like it."
She opened it up and it is a picture of them after Keiko was born, when they had their first plane ride to Japan as a family. Kev designed the frame and are it himself and put the picture in it. "You can put it on your desk."

Hikuru tried fanning her face but it didn't work." She took a tissue from her purse and dabbed at her eyes then got her compact out to make sure her mascara didn't run.
"Boys this means so much to me, thank you both so much. Yes this will be the first thing that I will put on my desk. I love you two boys like you are my own, and I always will."

The two boys hugged Mama H. She then raised her arms in the air to get them off of her like she did when they were little and laughed, "Ok I gotta go. I will see you two Tonight for my celebratory dinner. Right Ted?"
Ted laughed, "Right Mama H. All your favorites."


Karl and Hikuru left the house.

(msg # 133):

Akari smiled at Ted ..

She ate a Korean honey cookie ..

She said to her boyfriend in Korean "I may never get over Keiko handing me all those clothes she rarely wears and she helped me turn from a cute nerd into a hot geeky babe for your consideration once you took a big chance and dated me a few times."

She then smiled and then looked at the display cases which showed off the various Forster uniforms.

She looked back at Ted and said "I want to make something even more special for tonight's dinner .. not sure what."

She then nervously lip kissed and then hugged Ted a little ...

"Keiko likes you,and she knows how it feels to be nerdish I guess you can say. Then she went into the service and came back a badass."
Ted looked through his Korean cookbook, "Oh we can Bulgogi. We can offer it the authentic way, which is chemically cooked and we can offer it actually cooked." He looked up at the clock on the wall," But we need to get started on it now if we want it to chemically cook so it cooks through and through. And just so happens I went shopping yesterday and bought skirt steak, it will be perfect for this meal. I also have some green onions, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, lemon and brown sugar everything we need for the perfect Bulgogi."
Ted pushed his chair back and ran to the wear they keep the back fridge and freezer, this is where Ted usually keeps his food that he cooks with.
He comes back with a basket sitting on top of a cart that is full of things." I'm also going to cut up a pineapple and put in it. It will work well with the soy and teriyaki. "
He hands scissors to Akari and 6 packs of steaks," Ok get started on the steaks while I break down the pineapple and make up the sauce then I'll finish the rest. Cut in strips then in squares."
He gave her a kiss then started breaking down a pineapple and making a sauce.

Akari smiled at Ted.

She washed her hands then started to make some more snacks since it was too early to make dinner

Akari soon gave her boyfriend a light kiss on his lips and then a hug.

She then said "Ted Forster .. I feel so comfortable with you and your family. I am so amazed that they have been so accepting of me and our relationship."

Ted put his arm around Akari, "You know you are the first girl that I have ever brought home that my parents... Especially my mother didn't snub. And my mother just loves you. I mean when she says that you can spend the night anytime you want... That is saying something. "

In reply to Theodore 'Ted' Forster (msg # 136):

Akari blushed profusely and then gave Ted a hug ....

Akari then gave Ted a long and sensual kiss and then said softly in Korean "Speaking of spending the night ... It's been awhile."

Ted smiled, "Well there is one home right now so we can go up to my room if you want."
 He didn't wait for an answer, "He picked Akari up and carried her up the stairs and to his room where he locked the door then played Akari on the bed then I dressed down to his boxers then climbed in beside Akari and proceeded to undress her applying kisses here and there.

In reply to Theodore 'Ted' Forster (msg # 138):

After being carried to bed and being stripped, Akari returned the affection.

She then admired Ted's body and smiled.

Akari smiled a little more "Whatcha thinking about, Ted?"
This message was last edited by the player at 00:53, Mon 05 Feb.

Ted kissed Akari's fingers, "I'm thinking about how lucky I am to have met you in Culinary School. Thinking about what I'm going to prepare for our next exam. And to tell that I love you."

Akari blushed, kissed Ted on the neck and then tenderly on the lips.

Akari then rubbed Ted's chest with a deft hand as she said "I love you, too Ted. Uhm ... I've been thinking about the exam too. Been thinking about testing out some ideas later."

Ted was then French kissed and his nipples were given attention.

Ted hugged Akari closer to him and sighed, "Akari, will you be my plus one at Keiko and Adam's wedding?"
His heart was racing in hopes she would say yes.

Akari blushed a lot and smiled broadly at Ted "I'd be honored to be your plus one, Ted."

Ted was then given a few long and sensual kisses...

Akari then jokingly frowned and pulled her head back "We should probably get a shower in and try to figure out what to prepare for our exams." 

Ted tapped her nose lovingly and said, "Boop. I was just about to suggest that. You can use mine, ill use Kevs. He won't be back until late this afternoon, he's getting a ride with Marcus, dad is dropping him off at the dorms at TJC. Because they are doing a project for their second summer session final, so he offered to bring him home." He gave her a kiss and pulled open a drawer," Here's the clothes you bought and left here. I gave you a drawer and part of my closet" he smiled sweetly and shrugged a little then said," I don't know just so you will have some clothes over here, you know if they get dirty doing something like cooking or eating or we went swimming and you decided you wanted something else to put on, so you have it here and I made save in my bathroom for your bathroom stuff too." He grinned , pulled up his boxers and pulled out a pair of fresh boxers and to his closet for a pair of Carhartt sweatpants and T-shirt he grabbed a towel and a shower caddy and walked over to Kevin's shower after cleaning it first. He would have to talk to Mama H about the maid not cleaning worth a damn in their bathroom's and bedroom's. He then begins his shower.

In reply to Theodore 'Ted' Forster (msg # 144):

Akari was next seen by Ted while viewing the family's dress uniforms .. which were on display in the living room.

Akari unscrewed her soda bottle's cap then turned and smiled at Ted.

She then tapped his nose lovingly and said, "Boop. I bought a small suitcase with me today for when I stay over."

"Oh that's good so you took Keiko's advice." He laughed as he thought of how she use to do when her and Adam started seeing each other.
He pulled out cook books, even ones that belonged back generations in his family.
"I would love to make something that would make Chef Eric flip because it tasted so good."

Akari thought for a moment then said "How about instead of trying to be all fancy ... perhaps you can make some form of meatloaf. You add [lot of] ketchup .... or just a ketchup glaze or fill the loaf with mashed potatoes ... ie something simple. Or I could make that and you could make something as tasty and simple."

Akari kissed her boyfriend tenderly and hugged him.

Ted shook his head, "No hon you can't do that for your final exam. It has to be over the top, something that leaves the judges and our instructor wanting more. You can't go simple. Especially after all these months of classes."

In reply to Theodore 'Ted' Forster (msg # 148):

Akari nods at Ted and soon settles down on a couch in the living room. She put on some slippers instead of the crocs she was wearing.

She had grabbed a backpack filled mainly with recipes and related notes.

When 'everyone' returned, Akari was asleep on the couch. She had not picked anything to make .. she had made a few recipes and loaded her dishes in the dishwasher.

Hireto smiled at Akari and held out a light blanket for Ted to take ..

Ted took the blanket and smiled, "Thanks
He bowed at his grandpa "You're the best." Then kissed his cheek then covered Akari and sat on the floor in front of the couch and went through recipes.

In reply to Theodore 'Ted' Forster (msg # 150):

Akari looked through a fourth of the recipes and frowned a little. She said in Korean "Nothing is jumping out at me."

She tenderly held one of Ted's hands, smiled and looked up into her beau's eyes.

She then continued in Korean "I can choose something I don't make often but I'm used to making. I can make some Germanic food."

She hugged Ted and then tenderly kissed him.
