“NO!” Spencer, Glen, and I said in unison as we saw that we were starting to make a breakthrough with Mr. and Mrs. C.

“Ok…” He said returning his attention back to his book.

As much as I hated having Spencer’s brothers tag along, if this was the only way I could have Spencer with me during the trip then so be it. I looked at Mrs. C. and saw her look at her two sons in disbelief.

“So you two will be there the whole time?” Mr. C. said breaking the silence that had taken over the room.

“Yes sir.” Glen said. Mr. C. turned his attention to Clay and Glen hit Clay’s knee and Clay nodded quickly.

“What do you think Paula?” Mr. C. asked his wife.

“Well…I guess…I guess it will be ok…as long as grades are up and I have assurances that there will be no funny business.”

Spencer seemed to be beaming at that moment and leapt from her seat to hug her mother. She then hugged her father tightly kissing him on the cheek.

“Hey don’t get too excited. You still have to finish up your year understand?” Mrs. C. said pointing at Spencer.

“I know…don’t worry…” Spencer said smiling widely taking her seat next to me again. I could tell she wanted to kiss me but knew better since she didn’t want to run the chance of her mother changing her mind.

“We are going to head upstairs…we still need to talk more about this trip and the details.” Mr. C. said standing up. He offered his hand to his wife and pulled her to her feet.

“Gotcha Mr. C.” I said not able to contain my excitement.

They disappeared up the stairs and Spencer pulled me in for a deep kiss. I almost would have enjoyed it had I not heard Glen make a gagging sound. We pulled apart and grinned widely at each other.

“Soooo….looks like we are going to have a WONDERFUL summer huh?” Glen said laughing.

“Don’t think that you are going to be in control of what happens on this trip.” I said glaring at him.

“Better watch it…remember…Clay and I have to go with you…if we don’t go…Spencer doesn’t go…” He said smugly.
