Family reunion secrets

[VelvetSkylark]

If there was one thing I didn't like, it was family reunions.

Sure it was only every other year but still.. it was a lot to deal with. This year, my family expected no less. This would be the largest in a long, long time. Every relative from the west coast, all the way to the east coast was expected to come.

I had missed the last reunion because of the flu. This year, I wouldn't be so lucky.

Ah well, there was no way to prevent it. It was going to happen. At least this year, I could finally have some adult like conversations with my other cousins and such. This year, if my calculations were correct, at least 4 of us as cousins would be over the age of 18 and not treated like little kids anymore. Nor would we have to look after the little ones, we could finally drive off and do things on our own.

That's the only part I was excited about.

I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. I had filled out plenty in all the right places since seeing most of the family. My bikini top and cut off jeans fit perfectly. I was in good shape, thanks to my many hours after school spent at cheer leading practice. My long blonde hair fell just down to the middle of my back in waves and my brown eyes were shining back at me.

The sound of a horn got my attention. It was about to start.

I was a graduate of, but stationed at the Naval Academy. I was on summer leave for a a few days to attend the family reunion, catching a flight that got me there and one of the cousins picked me up at the airport.

We barely knew each other. Of course we had crossed paths but he lived across the country from us, with my dad's brother his dad, and mom and two sisters.

But after a few words we really ran out of things to say until we arrived at the house where it was happening, and I wondered what the sleeping arrangements would be and where to drop off my backpack with my stuff as the group including my own parents was out in the backyard.

I just set it on the floor and went out to hug my mom and shake hands with my dad, and they asked me how my career was going, and took me around to show me off to the other relatives.

There was my cousin Sara whom I hadn't seen in years. I had missed the last two reunuions due to duty commitments, and in the meantime she had really grown up and was a lovely young lady.

My first thought was how she might fit in as a Navy wife.
