2 (2)-Advice from the family

Garrett's pov

As I hear my dad's rising tone, I can't help but be scared that my dad is yelling at me like that...or even be disappointed in me...Instantly, I can tell it hurts my heart and without realizing it, my eyes fill up with water ready to fall.

"Woah, don't cry bro! You know Dad doesn't want to hurt your feelings!" Amanda says instantly worried and comes next to me and also touches my shoulder reassuringly.

"Your sister is right. Your mother and I are only hoping for you to be happy. If...if you think that guy makes you happy...go for him." Is my dad really apologizing?

"Yes! You have to try to find him! You can't let the guy go! You're not getting any younger Garry! I'm younger than you and I'm already married!" My sister is suddenly convinced as she pulls away from my side.

"Well, that's.." I say unsure what to say.

"Your sister is right. You can't waste time any longer. In less than two years you'll be in your thirties. You can't stay single forever. You need to find someone who loves you."

"Mom.." My mom comes closer and hugs me.

"Oh how I wish, you'd stop being so shy and bring me some grandkids to me already. I'm really proud that you managed to overcome your fear and go to a gay bar but you won't go anywhere if you don't do something."

"Yeah! You can't let that guy go! You need to let yourself be happy Garry!" My sister says confidently.

"For once I agree on that. Stop trying to make us happy. You make us happy enough. It's time for you to have your happiness. Well..we...wouldn't let you do it before and now we do...but you take this for granted... and we don't want you to do that."

It's rare for my dad to mention the times when he and my mom wouldn't accept the fact that I'm gay. Despite that, it's still unpleasant to hear and it still hurts to this day when he does mention such instances.

My parents have only been supportive like that especially my mom for less than 3 years.

I've been in relationships hence why I do have experience. It just didn't work out.

I hate to admit it but my last relationship was the worst, my ex didn't treat me well I kinda knew that deep down, but for so long I just couldn't accept that he wasn't good for me. I loved him so much. I thought we were serious and that we would get married but it never happened.

Instead, he would force me to have sex with him all the time and be like a kind of housewife. Think is, I actually like the idea of being a sort of housewife, just like my mom! But...he didn't value me a whole lot, he always wanted me to be the one to do everything for him, not the other way around.

One day, I dared to come out to my parents with my ex-lover but it didn't go well.

My dad was furious and my mom just didn't understand why I wasn't getting married to a girl and having children with her. It truly wasn't a good time at all.

Though, my ex and I didn't stay together for long. He did after all cheat on me with a girl. So as hard as it was I had to accept it.

In the end, I was in a toxic relationship for 5 years. 5 wasted years according to my parents.

Though, it wasn't by my own will that I broke things off. It was my sister who convinced me and ever since then, I haven't dated, I haven't had any romantic contact with a guy or a sex life till yesterday.

That's how much my ex ruined me. Regardless, my parents and I's relationship was pretty rocky for a while especially with my dad, as we have different views.

Despite everything I didn't hate them especially not my mom, but the fact it was them that didn't support me in such a way, that hurt my feelings a lot.

My parents came around and realized the fact their son is gay isn't that bad. Well, they did come around but it wasn't because they wanted to all that much especially my mom.

My sister got married 2 years ago so that relieved my parents, especially my mom that at the very least they would have a chance to have grandchildren with her being married. Also some sort of normalcy as my mom said it before.

I know that deep down my mom will always wish she'd have a sister-in-law but she knows she'll never have one.

She accepted that I'd only be bringing guys and that I'd maybe get married to one of those guys and that guy would become another son-in-law.

Though, she still wishes for me to have children of my own.

"Garrett?" I hear my mom concerned and I snap out of my thoughts.

"Sorry, I know that Dad..." I say in a more gloomy tone but it seems my sister has other plans.

"But anyway I still stand by what I said earlier! You need to make your dreams come true! Take me by example! I met Jonathan a few years back and I didn't hesitate to pursue him. Look where we are now. We are both happily married. I don't regret a single thing! I'm sure you won't regret it too!" She says enthusiastically and looks at me with warm gazes but my dad's gaze on me is not so warm.

As much as my dad tries to hide it, hearing the name Jonathan, my sister's husband, makes him mad. I know for a fact that my dad doesn't like Jonathan. He gets along with him but yeah...He won't ever tell Amanda about it through. The same goes for me...

I noticed him flinch a few short seconds at the mention of his name.

"You should definitely do like your sister! You won't go nowhere if you don't pursue him."

"Mom!"

"Aw, don't be embarrassed. I would pursue him if I was you! Even if it was your father that pursued me, I still think you should do it!" My dad smirks at that. Never mind their love story.

"You think it would work? How am I gonna find him again?"

"You said you met him at a gay bar?" My sister starts interrogating me curious and my parents step aside curious to see my sister interrogating me.

"Yes?"

"Does he seem like the type to go there all the time?"

"I don't know.."

"Tonight it's the perfect time to go to a bar. It's a Saturday!"

"Yeah! He'll definitely go there again! What else do you know about the guy?"

"He seemed younger than me, taller. He has way more courage than I have. He guided me all the way."

"Oh? Really? That's a good indication. There's more chance that he'll be there tonight!"

"How so?"

"He seems to be the type of a guy that likes a little bit of fun. He seems to be a guy who can be bold, and charismatic. Attractive you say?"

"Yes..?"

"Exactly that! A guy like him will definitely be there!" She says enthusiastically.

"How can you know that..?" I ask confused and unsure.

"You'll never understand the power of intuition! I can already picture the guy. Although I'm a bit worried that he might not take relationships seriously, I think he's a safe bet. You need to seduce him." She smiles.

"How?" I ask confused about her interpretation.

"Didn't you already? There is definitely something on you that made him come to you."

"Amanda you're forgetting something important. Did his advances on you seem genuine?" My mom steps into the interrogation.

"Um yes?" Again my dad facepalms himself.

"Garrett! You can't let guys take advantage of you!"

"Don't scare him like that Dad! He won't try to pursue the guy if you continue."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm the boss here. Anyways, if that guy wasn't there to take advantage of you, he'll do more than have sex with you tonight." My dad says irritated.

"David! Don't say that! You'll scare him off. We want him to pursue that guy. Not have sex with him."

"No, it's fine Mom. I know what to do." I say suddenly growing confident with a new idea.

"Wait what? Am I hearing this right?" My sister says surprised.

"I need to leave now! Bye! I love you all!" As I run off I can hear them being all confused.

"Did he really ditch us like that?"

"You think he has a plan? Do you think he really is gonna pursue the guy?"

"I don't know, who knows?"

By then I leave the house altogether. They can keep being confused because for once I am determined to do something! I'm determined to find that guy again and get to see his goods again!
