I don't like man, If not you

Part 11: A date that can't forget

Krist was always a fast learner. When he was younger, he was usually under his mother's supervision and learned many skills. These skills were often domestic in nature: washing the clothes, cooking a meal for the family, etc. What most people did not know was that Krist's mother had an ulterior motive. Knowing that her son did not come from a well-to-do family, and looks like girl than boy, having these skills, she thought, would be a bonus when finding a wife. What she did not know, however, was that her son was already living a life that was very different from what she had planned and hoped.

Currently, krist was mopping the floor. His parents, on the other hand, were munching on melon seeds. Seeing how relaxed they were, Krist could take it no longer, "Is this really fair? Do you know how difficult it was for me to travel home? And now that I'm home, you guys are actually making me do these chores while the both of you are enjoying yourself?"

"What are you talking about? It is only dutiful and appropriate that as a son, you are serving and respecting your parents." His mother replied.

Just at that moment, Krist's phone started ringing, and the number on the screen was one that he did not recognize. "Hello? Who are you looking for?" Krist asked as he answered the call.

"Who else can I be looking for if I called your number?" It was that familiar, yet icy tone of voice.

Sheepishly, and somehow feeling a little guilty, Krist replied softly, " P actually have my number?"

"That day, after we did 'it', I saved your number when you were in the shower."

Krist blushed. "What do P mean by 'did it'? Can P be a bit direct about it?"

"That day, after we had sex"

"P are obviously doing this on purpose, aren't you? P may dare to say it, but, trust me, I shudder hearing it. Besides 'did' and 'have sex', can't you use a better phrase?"

"That day, after I thrusted into you"

"I...I..." Krist was furious beyond words. He didn't know how to respond to such insolence.

Without letting he respond, Singto continued, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"What's up?"

"Let's go on a date."

Even though he was asking Krist out on a date, it sounded like a common request, as if telling him, "Come. Let's eat.", however cliché and overbearing he might sound, his request made Krist feel like he was the luckiest guy on Earth.

Afraid that Singto would back out of the date, He immediately replied, "Alright. I'll set the alarm earlier tomorrow morning so that I can take the bus to your place. Please wait for me?" There were a couple of reasons why He didn't want Singto to pick him up from his home. First, he was afraid his parents would find out about their relationship. Second, he didn't want his boyfriend to feel tired even before the date. "And also..." Before Krist could continue, Singto had already hung up.

Seeing her son act so suspiciously, Krist's mother could tell that something was not right. She crept behind her son and took his phone. "Kitty, do you have a girlfriend?" she asked suddenly. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Trying to retrieve his phone, he said, "What girlfriend are you talking about? I don't have one!"

"You don't have to lie to me. You are already old enough to have one. Your mom here won't object to you having one. I am not some old-fashioned mother. Come, tell me."

"There is nothing to say because I don't have one." Krist protested.

Krist's mother glanced at the screen but saw only a string of numbers and no name was registered. She returned the phone to him, saying, "Kitty Kitty, if you have one, you must let me see her. I'm never wrong when it comes to people. I will be a good judge of that person's character."
