" forgot what?" I ask, meanwhile he was still leaning close to me. What the heck is happening here? He press something on me.
" This " he says as he pointed his face downward between us. I look toward the direction he was indicating. Oh, it was just my bag. I quickly grab it from him and shifted backward. What sort of perverted things were going on in my mind? I mean he is not even a woman.
" Thanks " I say.
" No problem Adrian. I'm glad I saw it soon " Fab says but for some reason something seemed off. What is it that is bothering me?
" True, I say " I need to get home quickly and sort out mother. She can be very trouble some. I quickly walk to the door and wore my shoes. Fabian was standing behind me. I feel like he want to say something but maybe I am just over thinking it.
" Alright, see you later " I say as I open the door and left Fabian's house. I paid a cab and quickly headed to Majid's house.
-------------------------
I opened the door to Majid's house and mother was playing music on a turntable. It was an old turntable that I had seen in the corner of the parlor. I think it must be something very valuable to Majid. She was dancing by herself. Who goes to someone's house for the first time and start playing music and dancing? Only mother. My over care free mother.
" Mother! " I say in a loud voice and mother stopped her dance and turned around. She went to the corner and stopped the music.
" Oh you are finally here, I was getting bored" is that the first thing you say to a son you have not seen for a long time?
" You're welcome " I say sarcastically. She walk forward and embrace me.
" Congrats on the wedding " she says in a joyous tune. Wait, is she seriously congratulating me?
I pulled away from her embrace. She did not hug me because she missed me. No, she hug me because she was genuinely congratulating me.
" Mother, I'm sure you know this is not a planned marriage. It is a marriage to a man " I say as I dropped my bag. It is better to clarify things.
" Of course I know but haven't you always been gay? " she says as if it was a matter of fact. She went to sit down on the couch.
" When have I ever been gay? " I asked. Where is she getting this assumption from.
" Didn't you date Fabian when you were in school? " She asked me back.
" Mother! When did I ever date Fabian? If it was Karla or Becca, I would have understand. But Fabian! No, no, no" I say.
" But you always were with him and you always used to put poster of hot guys on your room wall" she says defending her earlier statement.
" It is true that I went to Fab's house a lot back then but that is because we were friends. As for the poster, I just wanted to have muscles too" I say and my face was feeling hot.
" Muscles you say. Wait a minute is that why you were going to gym that time. Look Adrian I don't think you could possibly get any muscled, not with that slim body of yours " she says and started laughing all over. Then the door opened and Majid entered. I didn't even here the sound of his vehicle when he drove into the compound.
He looks really tired.
" Is that my son in law? " Mother asked as she went to meet Majid.
" Miss Chloe, good evening " he greeted her. Wait, how does he even knows her name? I have never told him her name.
" Evening, hmm, such a handsome man. I wouldn't mind dating you if you weren't my son's husband" she says out loud. My mother has always been like this. Always so blunt.
" Majid welcome. Why don't you go change first " I say.
" Thanks for the compliment miss chloe " he says as he dropped his bag on the chair where I dropped mine.
" Would you care for a drink " he asked her. It has skipped my mind as I had been deep in conversation with her.
" No need, I took some earlier and besides I have an appointment" she replied. She probably meant one of those are mysterious date.
" Oh is that so? " He says. They were talking like people who knows each other.
" I will visit another time" she says.
'no don't visit' I say in my mind. I don't hate mother but she's just too much.
" I will be glad " he answered.
" By the way, when are you going for honeymoon?" She asked. Why is she asking such a thing when she knows about our situation.
" Tomorrow, we are going to Keisha town " he says.
" What?" I say. When did we ever discuss that we were going to do honeymoon.? This is not even a real marriage.
" Oh take care of my baby, I gotta go now, bye Adrian" she wave at me and left the house.
" Majid, what do you mean by we are going to Keisha town?" I asked him.
