Avery is giddy with delight, as are Kel's parents. They laugh as the beautiful brunette calls 'MY MAN' and !
(NUMBER 10! in German) to anyone who will listen. She leans over the guardrail as Kel sprints to the sideline and hops onto the wall,
clinging on so that she can bestow a congratulatory kiss upon the conquering hero. He also taps fists with his Father, and allows his
Mother to kiss his sweaty forehead and cheeks before he drops back to the ground and waves, calling that he'll meet them in the park-
ing lot in half an hour, after he showers and changes.
"You two are getting close", Mrs. Ejid Babatunde remarks, as the trio waits their turn to descend the stairs. Avery turns and looks both of
of Kel's parents in the eye: "I love him", she states simply.
"I suspect that he feels the same about you," smiles Abraham Babatunde.
When Kel joins them in front of his parents' Mercedes SUV, Mrs. Babatunde tells him, "Take this beautiful girl home with you,mienen wundervollen Sohn (My Wonderful Son). "The tree is being delivered in two hours, and Babatunde and I are
going to the shops, to look for gifts...Oh!-is that alright, Avery? Won't your parents mind?"As long as I call them, they won't mind, Mrs B. She kisses them both, on each cheek, along with a hug."Drive carefully, YOU, Kel...and no funny business, eh? Respect my future Daughter."Avery blushes prettily, wishing that the ground would swallow her whole (she and Kel are already sexually active)..."Selbstverständlich, Ma ". (of course, Ma.)Avery used her boyfriend's device to dial Kurt and Jane at home (activating the *FaceTime*@ before they answer: "Hey, Mama!"Jane replied, "Hey, Baby; how are you, Kel?""Great, Mrs. Weller. Mr. Weller.""Kerl had an assist and the game-winner...I say he deserves a reward, right?!"""What d'ya want, Ave?" Kurt chimed in.Avery hedged: "W-What do you mean, Kurt?"Jane said, "So you'll be home in -WHAT? -twenty minutes?"Exasperated, her daughter huffed, "MOM!"Giggling, Jane shot back, "AVE! Then, more soberly, she asked, "It's 8:40 now - will 10:40 be enough time?""Thanks, Mom! Love you...g'night Kurt!" Beaming, the 18-year-old turned to Kell: "Should we...go to your house? Your
house?"He shrugged. "No one there until tomorrow. And my Mom replenished that pumpkin spice hot cocoa that you like"..."Alright: you've convinced me!"continued in ch. 2 =>
