Meeting Again 60-Strange talks
"Tanya, you're choking me!" I said in a strangled voice as Tanya's hand tightened around my neck. She quickly let go of me and apologized, "I am sorry! I got too emotional." "What are you getting all emotional over a gift for?" I laughed. "I do not have that many friends to shower me with gifts, you know," Tanya held the packages to her heart as if it was a treasure. "What? Why not?" I asked, looking at her, surprised. "Well…" she stretched the word for long but then abruptly changed the subject, "You have the morning shift tomorrow, right?" I didn't want to force her to talk, so I went along, "Yep! I don't want to burden Samuel so much, especially when Jenny is pregnant." "Ah, I see. Then, will you and Twen be free enough to join me for my birthday dinner tomorrow?" Tanya asked, smiling at me with sincerity. "Why not?" I smiled back. "Ummm-" she seemed to be hesitating to say something, but her eyes were brightly glowing as she looked at me. "What?" I asked, getting self-con
Meeting Again 61-Like a family
Robbie was sleeping, tangling around me like a vine. It took me ten whole minutes to untangle myself from his octopus-like grip. Getting down, I glanced at Robbie's pretty face, which now has an unhealthy pallor over it, with visible dark circles under his eyes and unkempt hair over his forehead. The past few days must have been quite hard on him. His confrontation with his dad has resulted in him being in a difficult situation. Although he did not mention details of the dispute, I knew he left his house in the end. He did not even tell me where he was staying. According to him, the less I know, the better. It is hard not to feel sorry for the difficult situation he has landed in. I wanted to tell him to make peace with his dad, but thinking of the conditions his dad has put forward, I cannot bring myself to say it. I patted his head subconsciously but quickly withdrew my hand when I saw him moving. Shaking my head, I went out to get refreshed. Twen woke up half an hour later when I
Meeting Again 62-Finding home I
The winter rolled in quietly this year. Working in a hotel, you can never tell when the season changes unless it's the fluctuation of incoming customers. I slightly shivered as I got out of the quarters holding Twen's hand. He looked very happy and had a little hop in his steps. I was a little surprised to see that Robbie was not in his black sedan but a convertible. I guessed that he might not have taken his car when he left his home. He unlocked the car as we took our seats. I put Twen on the backseat and put his seat belt on. "You have gotta tell me the route!" Robbie said, starting the car. "First, we have to pick up Fred," I said as I put my seat belt on. "Why? Can't he go on his own?" Robbie asked sourly. "He and Tanya are quite newly acquainted. He is feeling odd going alone," I told him. "What a big baby!" Robbie said but still drove towards the Deliziosa restaurant. "Well, he is younger than you," I laughed. Robbie 'hmphed' but didn't say anything more. I saw Twen look
Meeting Again 63-Finding hone II
The question took me off guard. Since male Omegas have a huge bias in society, I was not sure if Mr. Jonas was simply asking out of curiosity or because he didn't like Tanya being around me. However, his next sentence threw all my worries out of the window, "Relax! I am not judging you. I was simply intrigued by you as my daughter wouldn't shut up about you." I breathed a sigh of relief, so that was the case. I laughed lightly as I said, "Tanya and I have been friends for the last four years, so I guess it's natural." Mr. Jonas looked at me with unfathomable eyes as he said in a tone heavy with complex feelings, "That's not all. You are her first true friend who stayed with her despite knowing her true sub-gender." This is new information to me. Tanya and I might have been friends for long, but I got to know her true gender only recently, and I hardly knew anything about her past. Since I didn't want my past to be questioned, I refrain from asking about others. I never knew that
Meeting Again 64-Finding Home III
The question was so out of the blue that for a few seconds my brain stopped functioning. I have never told Tanya that Fred had feelings for me, but she is stuck on the idea ever since she saw him and Robbie in the restaurant. No matter what I told her, she is fixated on that. Now how do I explain why I chose Robbie? I chose him because I loved him. I bonded with him because I wanted him to be a part of my life, but of course, never did I think such a twist would happen in my life. The reason I couldn't choose Fred, even though he loved me, was because I didn't want to hurt him. I couldn't reciprocate his feelings, and I felt it was unfair to be with him when I don't feel the same for him. I felt he deserved better. How do I explain all this to Tanya? She was looking at me with wide, curious eyes like a kid. I sighed as I arranged my thoughts, "Why are you asking? In fact, why do you even think that Fred has anything for me?" I asked Tanya, trying to change the topic. "Because I am n
Meeting Again 65-Trust & Bond
Our trip back home was quite uneventful. Fred got very close to Mr. Jonas, and they both even hugged before parting. Tanya and Fred left on friendly terms, except Fred stood at one hand distance from her. It looked strange that they were speaking in such a friendly way from such a distance. Twen woke up after a short nap and was offered ice cream, which he happily gobbled up. Tanya came and hugged me before saying with a wide smile on her face, "Thank you so much for coming. See you tomorrow at work." "See you! Happy birthday again!" I smiled, hugging her back. Robbie gave Tanya a short one-handed hug and asked her to take care while Mr. Jonas shook hands with him, and Mrs. Teena said warmly to all of us, "All of you, visit us again. I would love to have you all back." We all smiled and reassured her that we would come again. Tanya has got such a lovely family. I looked back at them waving at us without being able to hide my longing. I quickly shook my head and reminded myself th
Meeting Again 66-Rendezvous
"You seem to be more attached to your mother than your dad," I told Robbie as I slowly opened the window to his car. "Yeah!" Robbie answered, shifting the gear. Twen was sitting in the backseat leaning on the seat playing some games on Robbie's cell. Earlier yesterday, we told him that we would be meeting his grandmother today. I was a little worried that he would deny the meeting since he didn't show any emotion on getting the news. He remained quiet for a little while and only asked if it is his grandmother who wishes to meet him. Robbie patted his head and said that she is dying to meet him. To which he simply shrugged and said, "Okay." I am not sure if he is happy with the meeting or not, but hopefully, Robbie's mother can make him happy. I looked at the road as we entered the bypass. It is full of cars, after all, it is a Saturday. Most jobs have half-day work, during the evening, roads are very congested. I turned my eyes away from the road and asked Robbie hesitatingly, "Do
Meeting Again 67-Call me mom
The woman who just walked in has the same pitch-black curly hair (tied in an elegant bun) and gray eyes like that of Robbie's. However, unlike him, she has an oval face, a soft, kind mouth, and a glowing wheatish complexion. She is quite short with a lean structure, but her presence is quite large. She has the word 'class' written in every nook and cranny of her stature. It is so profound that even some of the cafe's customers turned to look at her. My jaw dropped on seeing Mrs. Walker. Not only is she a beauty, but she barely looks thirty. Had I not known she was Robbie's mother, I would have thought she was Robbie's sister. Mrs. Walker is such a sophisticated and classy lady that I suddenly felt under-dressed. Even in her hurried and exhausted form, she still managed to look very elegant. I was completely tongue-tied on seeing her. Robbie got up and hugged her, chirping, in a happy tone, "Mum, sorry to call you when you're so busy." She patted his back with a bright smile, "Absol
