Chapter 50  Caught In The Act! by Harem-Fan

     Scott looked like all of his investment stocks crashed and rushed off in a hurry even ignoring Debby who followed him.

     I pretend to ignore his outburst, like I had anything to do with it. But the rest of the table was not looking at me, so my Acting was pointless.

     After about ten minutes of my father in-law speaking to Mrs Lang about what next year's course load will look like, the mother and son returned.

     "Sorry everyone, my Scotty had received terrible news of a childhood friend passing, so he was upset, but we are fine now."

     "Mother is right, but I am fine now, it was just very sudden. Let's continue."

     Nadia, like a caring wife, stood and used her white-handkerchief to wipe Scott's eyes and she said.

     "There, you had missed a bit of tears, husband, now you look great."

     Spit! Cough Cough Cough! I was drinking from my glass of wine at that moment and did a spit-take into the glass and coughed my lungs out drawing everyone's attention. When I realized what Nadia was doing to Scott, I was shocked and horrified by her cruelty! She while everyone looked at me, winked.

     "Cough! Sorry it went down the wrong pipe, but I am good now."

     Yes that white-handkerchief was the very same one she used to wipe me off in the computer-room, ew! Note to self: Never upset Nadia.. For any-reason!

     She then threw the white-handkerchief away and went to wash her hands. Nichole, seeing my eyes understanding what they did, just smugly drank her ice-water.

     Hana, a great doctor and caring wife, rubbed my back and cared for me, making sure I didn't get the wine in my lungs.

     Soon the main course was cleared and the chocolate cakes were brought out for everyone's final course. Seeing Mary stare down my food, I put half of it on her dish and she grinned at my care.

     At the end of the meal while the maids cleared the table, George Lang said to the gathering group.

     "I have brought a bottle of very rare imported Whisky from the North Americans and invited all the gentlemen into the study for a tasting. My wife will go with the ladies out to get fresh air and have girl talks. So let us bond with one another on this wonderful evening."

     I guess this is something nobility does at parties? Well the two heads, myself and father in-law, and finally Scott all head into the study for sampling. I have only had beer and wine, and never hard-alcohol so this should be interesting.

-

     Five tumbler glasses have been brought by the maid and I and my father in-law sit on a couch together, with Scott and his father on another, and George Lang in an armchair. He filled all five glasses half way for each of us to slowly enjoy.

     John Chang the Dean sees me looking at the amber-liquid and can tell I have not had it, then like a dad teaches me.

     "We serve high quality liquors like this in a wide open glass to let the aroma breath, so smell it first. Then you can sip it and roll it around your mouth and tongue to learn the flavor, but do be careful it has a strong alcohol flavor unlike beer and wine, and it should burn your throat and possibly your stomach a bit. Now give it a try."

     After getting the gist of it and seeing it in movies, TV, and videos I brave the new world of a hard drink.

      Smelling it no problem, then the burn and flavor in my mouth no problem, but when I swallowed it...

     "Cough! Ooh man that was rough!"

     Scott seeing me being a hard-liquor noob just laughed at me and said.

     "Ha-ha! Cant even handle a little whisky, so lame."

     I just grin at him and don't take the bait to say something rude in-front of the Heads. I just tell my thoughts.

     "This is my first time trying it, but I can tell it must be a good quality. I will have to be careful how much I drink though. Being a drunk with guns around is definitely a big no no!"

     The three men laughed at my cautious humor and agreed with my deduction. Part of being a man is knowing your limits. Scott however imagined I was threatening him, but this time I was not. I was thinking like a dad with kids around.

     My father-in-law told me about drinking cheap whiskey with ice on the rocks he called it, and about the other well known drinks like vodka, rum, and schnapps alcohol.

     A half hour later I excused myself for the restroom, plus I was feeling a bit drunk, just tipsy.

-

     I just finished using the restroom, and am washing my hands. I look in the mirror and see the smile on my face.

     So far it's been a great evening and I am buzzed just right. I think of what I will do with Hana tonight as I am brought out of my thoughts by the bathroom door opening, shit I forgot to lock it!

     In walked a smiling Nadia, who is watching me dry my hands with a hand-towel.

     "Ricky, did you like my trick I did earlier? I was waiting for that one all week, Ufufu. Come here you handsome boy."

     And Nadia pushed me to the counter and started to hold my neck, kissing me with passion.

     I have no reason to stop this, although in the back of my mind, I think that we might get caught. But with me drinking, I soon forget this small problem and just hold her waist and ass. In between kisses I say to her.

     "I love you, mwah!"

     Click! While the two of us were doing the tongue-tango, we both heard the bathroom door close, and our passionate kissing froze.

     With both of our mouths still together, our two sets of blue-eyes look to the side at the door and see her...

     Standing there with no emotion on her face holding her hands together in front like a noble lady should, Linda Lang just stood there. Her grey-eyes are just watching us.

     Slap! My kiss was broken and an angry Nadia slapped me hard enough to make a sound but not leave a hand-print, and she in fake-anger said.

     "Lee, you drunk bastard! How dare you force a kiss from me. If I did not want to embarrass the Lang, I would go tell my husband right now! Don't ever try that again, goodbye! Humph!"

     With that Nadia stormed out out of the bathroom she fucking forgot to lock, and left me with Linda!

     (A/N [Acting: Basic] Look cool as a cucumber when your girlfriend catches you with another girl, no problem.)

     "Man, I drank too much, I thought she was my wife. Sorry you had to see that Linda. Ah, maybe we can not mention this, I might hurt some feelings?"

     I was too buzzed and nervous to notice Linda's eyes sparkle in shock and mischief. Even though she will never tell on me, she tries her luck anyway...

     "Rick, on Saturday afternoons can you tutor me for business class when you're not working. I want to impress Teacher Long, and you are the only student better than me to do this, I will treat you to lunch as payment, what do you say?"

     Wait, is this blackmail? But she never called it that, and I can't tell, but it feels like a way to buy her silence, crap. This is your fault Nadia!

     "Um? Sure, if I am not busy on Saturday afternoons, I can walk over and help with school work, is that all?"

    Linda with her expressionless face nodded, then shook her head and said.

     "Then next Saturday, but I still need to use the restroom, so..."

     I forgot, damn drinking is bad.

     "Sorry Sorry, and thanks for not saying anything, ha-ha, bye!"

     As I used my stealth Cat Burglar Skill to sneak back, Linda closed and locked the door.

     The edges of her lips only slightly raised and she said.

     "Finally."

-

     Then Nadia came back out to the patio with the other women and she whispered into Nichole's ear.

     "Nicky, I was caught kissing Ricky in the bathroom, um, oops!"

     "Oh fuck, who caught us?"

     "Linda Lang, but she did not talk and I slapped Ricky for show and stormed off, soooo? Well she doesn't know if it's me or you if that helps?"

     Nichole thought about it and shook her head.

     "No, if it's only Linda, she won't tell anyone. She likes Rick and cares. At most she is surprised, but that's irrelevant. Just relax and ignore her. She hates Scott as much as us."

     Nadia pats her chest in relief and says.

     "Good, but I hope Ricky is not upset. I abandoned him, fufu."

     Mrs Lang off to the side is asking Mary some questions about her job.

     "So what exactly do you do as a detective, Mrs Lee?"

     Mary tries to not be rude after pushing up her glasses.

     "Normally the work on cases the beat or traffic police don't or can't handle. High profile, murder, and robbery, but lately I was put on slightly less dangerous jobs so things like investigating break ins and crime scenes. Being a detective is not as glamorous as the TV and movies make it out to be. We actually spend half our time researching at our desks."

     Soon Linda came out onto the patio and scanned the crowd, only passing her gaze over the twins like any-other. She then sat with her mother and listened in like she had never left.

     Debby, not liking the atmosphere of the women getting along, says to the two Lang women.

     "Sue Lang, have you and your husband decided on when to hold the engagement party? December would be good, then they could marry in spring?"

     Mrs Lang does not get upset with this pushy woman and explains.

     "We have not set the date yet because we will wait til at least summer for Linda to marry. Doing it during University would be hard on guests coming to the event. So the summer like in June for a wedding is better. We do not want the kids' grades to suffer from being distracted with a big event."

     Debbi slightly frowned looking at Linda who keeps saying she won't marry her boy and points out.

     "This keeps getting pushed off more and more. She was supposed to marry my boy before the Ning twins and they plus two maids are already married and pregnant. I am feeling that Lang will push the wedding off until she is old at 22 by that point. We have kept his 1st wife spot open just for your daughter. And Scotty loves Linda, soooo..."

     Linda's mother is all of a sudden glad Mary and Hana are here as she points out.

     "Mary here is pregnant at 22, and Dr Lee is pregnant at 25 so the age thing is not really an issue. We have other Lang family members to consider here as well. We can't have the younger daughter marry before our oldest daughter, and her wedding is on June 1st. As you see we have much to plan for so please be patient lady Tang."

     Linda's mom is a good speaker but every-woman out here including Linda can smell bullshit if they step in it, how shameless. But nobody cares because it is Debby being runaround, so it's overlooked.

    Nichole thinks to herself...'Yes, you rushed us, and I found Rick, so you're the one to thank for your son's misery, fufu!'

     Debby stood with a smile and said she was sleepy.

     "It's late, so girls get your things, we have a long drive back to the Tang Compound, thanks for having us Sue. And little Linda, I hope you can stop pushing your future husband away, because it makes a marriage rocky. See you all later, and good luck to Mrs Chang and the Lee women."

     Then Debby left with the four black-haired beauties following behind her.

     Sue then patted Linda on her back and said.

     "That is all I can do Linda. I stalled as long as I could. Excuse me everyone, I need to see the Tang off as a good host."

     After she went back in the house it was only Mary, Hana, Mrs Chang, and Linda sitting out back with some servants and Linda said.

     "Tonight would not have been good for me if you did not come, so thanks for attending this dinner."

     Mother Chang only said to her.

     "No, it was fun, and I even learned more about my son-in-law. My husband likes male bonding time so it was very fun, plus Lang and Tang contribute to the University so it's doubly good we came."

     Hana said to Linda.

     "It was only next door and I got off tonight from work by switching to tomorrow so no problem. Plus Mary and I had an excuse to go clothing shopping for pregnancy and having a spa day, fufu. I sadly only miss out on race day, but someone else will keep my Rick company tomorrow so it is perfect."

     "Hana dear, I told you you should not do that dangerous racing while pregnant."

     "No mom, when Rick drives it is safer than walking, trust me."

     Mary helped out Hana and said.

     "Rick and Hana both agree that it is fine until she is in her fourth month then she will only watch the races. So be at ease mother."

     Linda asked.

     "Is Rick really that good of a driver?"

     "He has never lost a race, and he can drive better than most police officers, in fact he can race professionally if he wanted. I definitely fell in love with him in a small part for his driving, fufu."

     "Hana how did I go wrong raising you for you to get into racing and dressing provocatively?"

     "My husband fell for me because of it, mother, so my choice was the right one, humph."

     Linda remembered the bathroom and asked the two Lee women.

     "Mary and Hana, I asked Rick to tutor me on Saturday afternoons for business class and I wanted to know if that is alright?"

     Mary said in surprise. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!

     "Wow, did Rick really say yes to that? Sure I think it's fine, but wow!"

     Linda said flatly.

     "I ran into him after drinking whisky and asked him while a bit tipsy, so I believe that was the real reason, but he did say yes."

     Hana laughed a bit and nodded yes to Linda and also said.

     "Just don't let Tina Feng know he is tutoring you then or he might get sudden Bodyguard shifts for clothes shopping, ha-ha!"

     Mary said to everyone.

     "Well Linda we are going to go grab Rick before he drinks too much, so we will also take off."

-

     Linda saw everyone off and then they collected me. But the party was definitely over by this point.

     Head Lang, his wife, and Linda saw us off.

     Tonight it is Hana tucking me in (sexy-time) and that is a night I can't miss, especially because she is working the late shift tomorrow missing race day.

     But she told me to invite Tina as her substitute and go race. Sure why not, otherwise I would have stayed home doing nothing important.

-

     After the party ended and then George, Sue, and staff packed, they headed out leaving only Linda and Mercy alone as usual. Mercy asked Linda.

     "Was everything okay with Rick when that twin Tang girl sneaked into the restroom after him?"

    "Nothing was wrong, Rick only forgot to lock the door, but they were both dressed, and she left. I am sleepy now Mercy, I will go to bed and thanks for tonight."

     Linda walked away from the smiling Mercy who also went to bed for the night. As Linda entered her room, she pulled out her house keys.

     "As the owner of the house, why would I not be able to unlock any door? Even one she locked?"

     Linda blushed a bit for shamefully walking in on the two making out. She even heard him say 'he loved her.'

     "Rick, if you can forgive the twins, then I will as well."
