It's You...

Chapter 15.

I walk out of my closet and find Jen seated on a sofa in my room, seriously glaring at her phone.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Seven missed calls from dad," she looks up at me. Her face looks nothing less than a child's sad face.

That is so cute. I chuckle and sit besides her.

"Plus this, so many notification and texts. My head is spinning," she throws her head on my shoulder.

I caress her tresses and tell, "you should call your parents first. They must be waiting for you to call back."

"Yeah, right," she says and sits upright, legs folded.

She facetime calls her parents. I stay out of the screen. I might show up later, if they want to see me. Within two rings, the call is answered.

"Hello!" Jen starts first.

"Don't hello us. We are very upset with you. Why didn't you tell us that you have a boyfriend?" Jen's mother shouts at her.

Jesus! they look alike. Jen's mother looks so young.

"Why did you start scolding her? Ask her nicely," Jen's father scolds her mother.

"Darling, you get into a relationship and we find out through internet. We expected to know it from you," he continues.

"I was about to tell you. Trust me. I wasn't going to keep this from you both. I'm so sorry that y'all had to find out this way," Jen's remorseful.

"It's okay sweetheart. You're happy that's all that matters," Mr. Diaz says.

"Yeah, you look so happy. It makes us happy," Mrs. Diaz says with the most gentle and calm voice.

It reminded me of my mother. All mothers are the same.

"Where are you? This doesn't look like your place," Mr. Diaz queries.

What is Jen going to say now?

"It's because, I'm at Brendon's place," says Jen. She's damn honest all the time.

"Oh! Is he around?", Mrs. Diaz ask.

Okay! It's show time. I take a deep breath. Shit!......why am I nervous?

"Yes, he's here. Do you want to see him?" Asks Jen.

"Ofcourse," Mrs. Diaz exclaims.

"Yeah, we would love to see who's keeping our daughter so happy," Mr. Diaz says.

Good, I'm wearing some decent clothes. I again inhale deep and exhale.

Jen giggles, "So.....that's him," she shows me in the screen.

They give me their warmest smile.

"Hello, Mr. & Mrs. Diaz. How you doing?" I greet.

"We're good. We're great son," replies Mr. Diaz.

"Aww! Look at them, you both look so lovely together. God bless you both," Mrs. Diaz says.

I glance at Jen and she looks at me too, she has her brightest smile on her face. She then, focuses back on the screen.

"Okay, mama, daddy. I'll talk to ya'll later," says Jen.

"Yes darling, and don't annoy Brendon, like you annoy us," Mr. Diaz mocks Jen.

"Daddy!" Jen exasperates.

I laugh. Jen glares at me. I shrug.

"Just kidding. I love you. And nice to meet you Brendon," Mr. Diaz says.
