3-Minute Passion (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 11

Sup, guys? xx

She stood up and I hugged her. I feel bad for not fixing myself. I wonder how she will take it, but is it really necessary for her to know? If I want to accept myself, maybe this is the right way to do it— share it to others.

"I need news." she breaks our hug putting her hands on my shoulders.

Since she wants news, might as well drop the bomb at her.

"I'm not comfortable sharing serious shit with you here..."

"My grandmother have ears all over the house." I whispered.

She giggled.

"Don't tell me you're going out looking like that?" she waved her hands up and down in front of me.

I looked down and I remembered that I just got out of bed. I scratched the back of my head in frustration of how messy I look.

"Shit. I'll just change, 'kay? I won't take long."

I don't really like to keep people waiting, because it makes me feel unprepared and irresponsible. I rushed toward my room. I went to my bathroom and brushed my teeth and washed my face. I didn't have much time to pick some more decent clothes, so I took a plain white shirt and a dark blue board shorts. I decided to go simple and took my blue green flip flop under my bed. It only took me 10 minutes to get ready. I hope she's not bored to death. I passed by my grandmother when I went to change. She was holding a tray with tea and freshly baked cookies. She probably asked Tin some random things about girl stuff.

I reached the living room and saw what I expected to see. My grandmother and Tin are laughing. I know they are close, sometimes I wonder that Tin knows my grandmother more than I do. I sighed in relief.

"Y'ready?" I said breaking their conversation.

"Oh, you're heading out? I thought you're going to stay. I was cooking pasta..." my grandmother sounds disappointed.

I would love to stay, but I'm worried my grandmother would hear us. I don't want that to cause something serious, besides, I hear my grandmother jabber shitty things about gay people. It'll just destroy me if she would say things like that to me.

"Sorry, ma. Tin wants to see what changed here at Lancaster since she left." I lied.

She still looks disappointed.

"Don't worry Mrs. Connor, I would visit again soon. He owes me a lot of story."

"I would love that, dear. Be safe, okay? It's a school night so don't stay out too late." My grandmother and Tin stood up and Tin gave her a peck on the cheeks and hugged her. I walked toward the front door and waited for Tin outside. She stepped outside the front door a few minutes later.

I leaned on my car as she walked straight towards me with a smile on her face.

She went inside and I started the ignition. I checked my cellphone whether Red texted. It has been hours and still no text. I am beginning to feel worried.

"Are you okay? You seem tensed." she worriedly asked.

"Uh, yeah. I was just waiting for something."

She nods her head and I started to drive. I want to talk to her at the park. We used to play there when we were kids. We hang ourselves on the Jungle Gym all the time.

She talked about how different Japan is from Lancaster. She also shared how beautiful the cherry blossoms were. I half listened to what she said. My mind is still not sure how to put things up. I'm beginning to feel worried.
