They’ll be at the condo around nine so we can’t sleep in until Sunday, but that’s no good either because …”<br/><br/>I arch my eyebrow as the Mistress of Drama takes a pause in her presentation...…<br/><br/><em>"Ok....movers....no sleep on Saturday....no sleep on Sunday, becaaaaauuuuuuuusssssssssseeeeeeeeee???"</em><br/><br/>“Mother and Daddy are flying into Logan Saturday afternoon. Because Uncle Joel has got himself in a massive pile of hurt and Daddy’s sister Aunt Becky is talking divorce and ruining him financially if he doesn’t give her the firm. Um …”<br/><br/>…I lean towards her as she leans towards me....this must be juicy!<br/><br/>“There are pictures of Uncle Joel with his dick in a cage being fucked in the ass by a guy in a pink tutu. And Aunt Becky has the pictures and her private investigator has the tutu guy safely stashed away at great expense while she negotiates with Uncle Joel and a Boston Globe reporter is already sniffing around the edges. Daddy is coming up to help write the terms of the divorce and Mother is coming to take Uncle Joel out back and box his ears. Daddy is going back on Monday after talking the terms over with Aunt Becky’s attorney because he’s not licensed in Mass and Mother will come stay with us for a few days and you get to drive her around town and submit to her grilling and help take care of Aunt Becky who’s a wreck but in a livid rage and she’ll drink too much if someone isn’t there with her.”<br/><br/>My jaw drops.....I dont even say anything....The shocked expression on my face worth the proverbial 1000 words!<br/><br/>“Dear, keep it open any longer and you’ll be catching flies. Oh, and you have a doctor’s appointment next Thursday afternoon with, um, Dr. Jensen that Mother ratified through her, um, her associates up here. I don’t know if Mother will still be here but either way, I’ll go with you and be along as much as you want. Oh, and Daddy will bring everything for you to sign so that as of next Monday you’re on salary with Chloe Rulez and have to do everything I say too!” #Giggle<br/><br/>… Rachel apparently hears that last part …<br/><br/>“Don’t trust her farther than you can throw her, Kimmie! She’ll turn on you and you won’t know what hit you!”<br/><br/>…  That breaks the stunned moment and we all laugh!<br/><br/>“Actually, Chloe Rulez sells you to the Grad School as a Contractor Lab Assistant and then you’re assigned to my lab. Your grievance committee is the department chair and I have his soul twisted around my little finger but that’s another story.”<br/><br/><em>"Wow....not even at Chloe Rulez for a day and Ive been transferred!  What a ruthless organization"</em>I laugh<br/><br/>I take a long sip of my drink and process, or try to process, everything that Chloe just dropped with all her bombshells.<br/><br/><em>"So, Mr "I hate gays and transgenders" gets caught with his penis in a cage and a ballerina fucking him up the ass??  And, Aunt Becky got pictures???  Oh, I do sooooo want to see Uncle Joel again.....Tell your Aunt "Name a price"  I'll pay anything for one of those pictures!"</em><br/><br/><em>"Well he deserves whatever he gets....financial ruin, public humiliation.  I have little sympathy for him  even though part of me feels badly......which brings me to your second point:  Your mother, and father and Aunt Becky are coming to stay with us for a bit....I see that your lab assistant can also be assigned 'other duties as needed by the company'??"<br/></em><br/>I smirk to let Chloe know that Im fine with this.<br/><br/><em>"I did want to meet your mother, and if possible, clear the air between us.  Moreso now, that you and I have made 'future plans'.....You told me about your father, he doesnt know, so I'll just be Kimmie to him.....I assume Aunt Becky doesnt know either?  Not that I'll be more than a footnote on all the important activities she's being confronted with at this moment"</em><br/><br/><em>"Im looking forward to this....I really am....I want your mother to like me as a future daughter-in-law....maybe in time, we can be friends too?"</em><br/><br/><em>"Wow Chloe....when you get news....you get NEWS!"</em><br/>
