The Witch Patch Ch 18

The meeting                                                                                        
                                           
It’s now 5:30 pm and time to make the spread and set the table. The guys brought the pig Into the kitchen 5 minutes ago and are carving it up now. Fabian put some of the roast pork bacon aside in a big bowl for my pork n beans. We all love Pork n bean so I'll be conjuring some up with my wand, at least 10 pounds of the stuff.                                                                            
                                                                                     
Meanwhile I head upstairs to take a quick 10 minute shower then change into my favorite jeans, Indigo Bruise, Levi 501's I decided to wear my all time favorite t-shirt (Bobby Jack) chewing bubble gum. I slip on a pair of striped ankle socks then slip on a pair of calf-high biker-style boots, with a nice silver buckle on each boot. I love buckles on everything!                                                                            
                                                                             
I brush my teeth, then my hair, leaving it  free to run wild. It's pretty long reaching down to my two dimples at the small of my back just above my butt. I grab some deodorant and swab my underarms then squirt a tiny spray of original Chloe perfume on my neck and wrists. Lastly, I paint on some black eyeliner and run the pencil outside the bottom corner of my eye extending it out, to create cat eyes and then finish up with some Maybelline Great Lash very black mascara and coconut flavored lip gloss; a quick peek in the mirror, yup I look good. I grab my dress leather, and head back downstairs.                                                                                                    
                                         
By now the pork roast has been divided onto 9 family crested and hand blown stone wear platters.          
         
“Sawyer, MeMe,” please bring these platters to the dinning room in 2 minutes, then run upstairs and change.”          
         
“Okay sis”,  said Sawyer, MeMe nods. Thanks, I offer, giving them both two thumbs up.                
                                                                                                              
Me and my sisters walk into the grand dinning room which only seats 16.                                        
Earlier Fabian and Sawyer brought in 24 extra chairs from our storage shed out back. So in total that makes, ah?, let’s see,                                      
24 + plus 9, carry the 1, yup ah-huh, 33 for dinner.                                       
                                       
Velvet does a quick spell to enlarge the length and width of our dining room table using her wand. Poof! And Done!                                        
It’s my turn. I conjure up a quick generic spell to set the table.                                  
                                     
Zig-zag-zing-boom                                          
set-the-formal-dinning-room!                                        
Poof! and done!                                      
                                         
We used all the candles that my sisters made earlier and some from the last meeting. They all fit perfectly going down the entire length of the dining room table.              
             
No time to cook from scratch so I flick my wand once more to bring on the food.              
 And done!                                  
         
“Wow!” the table looks Beautiful said Chastity. I take a quick look around. ”I agree, Kitty-cat, it does look great.” Every 5th seat has a meat platter, a side dish and vegetables within reaching distance. Doing it this way allows our family to eat without reaching over anyone keeping things simple.                                                                            
                                                                                           
It’s now 5:47 pm, “hurry ladies”, I blurt out! “go upstairs and change please.”        
       
“change? What for?” squawks  Delilah, “it's only family, sheesh.”        
       
“Yes Delilah that’s true however, my darling sister, our grandparents, on both sides are coming this time, so please at least try an make an effort to look presentable, thanks.”                                                                         
                                                                                   
“Fine, but I’m not wearing a dress” said velvet,        
       
 "me neither" said Delilah,        
       
“Me neither” squeaked Chastity. A few minutes later we’re all downstairs in the foyer waiting to welcome everybody inside. It’s now 6:00 pm.                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                  
" D   I    N   G    D   O   N   G ! ”                                                                                                   
                                                                                           
Velvet opens the door and one by one our family and relatives all pile in through the front door, all accept The Grandparents. They apparat everywhere. ALWAYS!                                                                                                   
       
“Welcome-Welcome everyone” said Fabian, “come-in come-in!” You can see the joy painted on everyone's face, especially Fabians. “Oh man!  It’s so good to see everyone” he said cheerily.                
                 
Then one by one Fabian, Rocky, Sawyer, and MeMe embrace all our male cousins and uncles with a welcoming hug of some kind, across the shoulder, off the back, a few half chest pumps, you-know, like a one sided handshake & hold pat on the shoulder type thing,                     
                     
“Oh Damn! I think she saw me!”                                
                       
As quick as possible I try and do a dip and slip behind uncle Zane, but he moved to the left, when I moved to the right!”                                  
                                   
 “Hey girl—!” said Sally to me.                                    
                                   
I cut my eyes in dread then try and play if off. I gesture back with a head nod, nothing more.        
       
Sally moves in closer to me. “Ltns Cuz she says, “how’ve you been?”                      
                                 
I pretend to cough, “ahem”,  I'm fine I say,  “other than the reason for this meeting.”      
       
Not that I really care, cause I don’t, but I try an be polite anyway and ask, "how are yo— “                               
                                 
“Oh look!” Aunty Sarah just walked in!” “Catch you later Sal” I said, and got the fuck away from her; but not before noticing Doofus. I mean Dickie, walking in carrying a tall boy of Natty Daddy shit beer in his right hand. “Gross!” I thought to myself and shrug my head.                                    
                                   
Sally rolls her eyes at me after realizing I saw what was in her husbands hand.                                
She acts like she’s better than Dickie. Nope, she’s not, not at all, this chic has a Natty Daddy in her grip too, Tf?!                                
                                 
I cut her a dry dirty look, to say “fuck off” hypocrite! Then greet Sarah for real.                                        
               
“Kujo!” screams Chastity, running towards him, then twirls into a cartwheel flip landing on top of  Kujo's big furry back and hugs him!  After a few seconds she dismounts doing a back-flip jump, back down to earth giggling all the while.              
             
Kujo gives Cat, his big furry paws attempting a clumsy hug and licks her face! She returns his affection with a kiss on his head and a scratch behind his ears, which he loves. Excited Kujo lets out a long throated howl to make Cat laugh, then turns back to full human form. He adores Chastity and always turns for her, she loves his wolf side.. Btw, Kujo is one of my favorite people in the whole-world. He is genuine & kind, affectionate & lovable, and, is honest and loyal to a fault..                                                                     
                                                                                           
A familiar voice speaks out and over the crowd  “Hello-Hello! nice to see everyone” bellows Uncle Zane. "I just wish it were under better circumstances eh?”        
       
"Don’t we all, uncle Zane", said Fabian, "don’t we all.” Fabian and Zane exchange a hearty handshake and hug.                                           
                                             
Zane is a big man, I mean really really big! standing at an impressive 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighing in at around 270 to 290 pounds he’s a frikkin' giant!          
         
Devilishly handsome, Zane has long dark wavy hair, deep-set dark blue eyes and a nice groomed salt n pepper beard. A Dark Witch he doesn’t play around much.          
         
Zane is married to Jessica Breakstone, our fathers younger sister and my mothers oldest brother.                    
                   
Zane is of the the McGovern Family bloodline who all hail from Salem Massachusetts, but that’s another story, don’t worry I'll tell you about that later.                                                                             
               
Once everyone's inside, I close and lock the the front door then announce dinner is served! Fabian waves his hands above his head and yells out so everyone can hear him “Let’s eat!" while the food is still hot, which is more of a direction than a request and politely ushers everyone into the dinning room.                                                                                            
                                                                                           
Soon everyone Is enjoying the meal and lots of polite conversations and laughter. I happen to be sitting next to grandmother Pippa, on her immediate right and decide to have a chat with her.                                                      
                                                                                                                  
                                                     
“Grandmother Pippa?”                                                
                                                 
“Yes Blake, darling?”                                                
                                               
 I lean in a little towards her face and with my left hand cup her right ear and whisper                                            
“Fabian found mothers ring this morning”                                                          
                                                     
To be continued…
