Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
“Wes, are you here?” Fred called into her boyfriend’s office, closing the door behind her.
“Right here, in the back.” Wesley called back before emerging from the back of his office where he had stashed all his books. He was carrying a large pile of them and set them down on the desk with a loud thump.
Fred immediately skipped over to Wesley and pulled him into a sweet kiss.
“I missed you.” She whispered, pecking him on the lips again.
“I know, love.” He murmured against her lips. “But there’s so much to do currently. I’m sure it’s no different at the lab.”
“No, of course it’s not.” Fred conceded.
“But you absolutely must come to my place on Saturday.” She continued in a rush they way she always did when she got excited. “Guess who’s coming to dinner?”
Wesley frowned. “I don’t know. “Who?” he inquired.
“Mum and dad are coming to dinner. Oh, they’ll be so pleased.” Fred gushed, beaming at her love.
“Your mum and dad?” Wesley stuttered.
“Yes, my parents. Roger and Trish. You’ve met them, you remember?” Fred asked, daring him to not remember.
“Of course I do remember.” Wesley sighed. “But as far as I remember they would be quite delighted to see you together with Gunn.”
Fred sighed. “Oh, god, Wes. Not that old discussion again.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. “Charles and I are through.” She assured Wesley.
“They’ll love you.” She added. “They’ll love you, because I love you.” And she kissed Wesley one last time and then rushed back to the door.
Before Fred left she turned back again. “Oh and Wes, my mum loves flowers.”
