Mr Wife ☑️

chapter 01: Mama' boy

Sky's POV

"Good morning, my baby!" Mama's happy smiling face greets me as soon as I open my eyes.

"Good morning, mama." I smile while getting up and hugging him before kissing his forehead.

My mom, Sidney Walker, he's the only one that gets good morning, a hug and a kiss from me. My most special and loved person. Days like this, he suddenly appears to be the first person I watch and the day turns out great.

"Get up and bathe. I already prepared breakfast, I'll make your coffee by the time you get downstairs." He says while setting my hair, it must have stuck in all directions during the sleep.

"Will do that, mama." I nod and he gets up before leaving my room.

I do as he said and quickly bathe before getting dressed and going downstairs. Today is sunday, so I don't need to get ready to go to work as it's my day off. By the time I reach the dining table, everything is already set and my mom is sitting alone while waiting for me. I frown seeing him alone. Where did the old man go? He never leave my mom alone though?

"Mama, why are you alone?" I ask him as I sit next to him, I'm not a fan of sitting opposite to each other. It's better this way so that I can even help him eat.

"Did you forget River went on a vacation with his husband yesterday. They'll be back next week." He says while filling my plate with chicken sandwich, my favourite especially when it's cooked by him.

"What about the old man, then?" As soon as he hears, he stops filling my plate and looks at me in disapproval.

"Sky, baby, I told you not to call your father as old man." He pouts but gets back to serving me.

He doesn't like anyone, even his own children, calling his husband in bad way. He's just so in love with his husband. How lucky my father is?

"Sorry, mama. I won't do that again." I hold my ears in guilt.

"Though you tell me that, you're always repeating it." He sighs and I chuckle before we start eating, "he's sleeping though. I didn't want to disturb him because he's tired so I didn't wake him up and let him sleep."

My dad really don't do anything now. I'm taking care of the business, he checks sometimes now and then but not always. He's always with my mom. All he does is spending time with him, eating the food he cooks, relaxing together, doing all the stuff. But look at him sleeping because he's tired. Tired of what? Eating and spending time with mom? Mom woke up early and even prepared breakfast for us while he's still sleeping. That's why I call old man.

"That's okay, it's actually even better since it's just the two of us now." I give him a wide smile and put a grape in his mouth.

He stares at me weirdly but still eats the fruit. We talk some random stuff as we eat our exclusive breakfast. It's only mom that I'm this comfortable with. Though I love all my family members equally, mom is a little special to me. I don't know why though. He has always been special to me since I can remember. My grandmom said, when I was a baby I was always clung to my mom and never go to any other person. In the same way, I would never let anyone near him and used to get jealous easily, even to my father. Thinking about it, it might be true seeing how territorial I'm to my mom except not when it comes to my old man. Come on, mom legit sticks himself with that old man so who am I to get in between them.

Sometimes I get annoyed seeing them being so in love but most of the times I admire them and few of the times I'm envious too. I too want what my old man has. I too want someone like my mom if not I don't want anyone. My mom is so different from everyone. He's just so perfect and special. During our childhood we didn't know but after growing up at a point it was accidentally revealed that our mom isn't our real mother. My old man was married before and during our birth our real mother died. After that, after a lot of nagging by my grand mom, my old man finally agreed to marry my mom and that was how he came into our lives. For River and I, mama Sidney is only our mother, the real and only mama.

He's so beautiful, pretty and cute. Very kind and patient. He does everything by keeping other people in mind. He always thinks of other well being and not about himself. He's just an angel, our angel.

I know my mom is worried about me not having a lover until now while my twin brother has already settled in life by marrying his boyfriend who he dated for 12 years. It's not that I don't want to settle, I do want. But as I said before I want someone like my mom. The perfect and never selfish. The one who loves me without expecting anything in return. Of course, I'm going to shower that person with all the love and affection but that's only when I get the clarity that they're the one for me.

"Um...Sky, baby," my mom's soft and gentle voice brings me out of my thoughts.

"Yes, mama." I gaze at him who is now looking nervous and fidgeting with his fingers.

He's about to talk about my love life again. My mom never meddles with my life, in any aspect except about my love. He actually didn't used to do before and gave me time and space to find the person but since I'm lagging it at a snail's speed, he's now involving himself. Not that he nags me, it's actually his second or third attempt today.

"Mama, you know you don't need to get nervous around me. Remember I'm your son, the one you brought up. I should be the one to get nervous around you and not the other way around. Now tell me what's that you want to talk to me?" I first make him relax and then ask him to continue.

"Don't think I'm invading your life, you know right, that I only want happiness for you." He explains like I'm question him, I internally chuckle at his cuteness.

"I know, mama." I agree to make him not feel unnecessary guilt.

"I have been waiting but you don't seem to find anyone that you like. Since you're getting older day by day, I'm a little scared you'll continue to be alone. So..." He stops midway.

"So what mama?" I query.

"So," he gulps and inhales before continuing, "so, I spoke with my one and only school friend. Since he moved to States after marrying, we weren't in contact but he found my socials and contacted me again. We're frequently chatting and having talks. We met recently as they moved back to settle in Thailand as they're getting old. He has a son. I've seen the boy, he's around late twenties. Good looking and kind. He was so polite with me and well behaved. I thought he would suit you well. I want you to once met him and talk to him. I didn't talk anything about it with them because I want to confirm from your side first. If you agree, I'll talk to my friend and set a date. Don't feel pressured, baby. I'm just suggesting you. You also don't need to compile just because I'm asking. It's your decision."

He explains and smiles at me at the end. How beautiful! Even though my mom is aging, he's still pretty beautiful.

"Okay, mama. Talk to them but don't set a date instead ask for a wedding if they're okay." I give him my reply which shocks him.

"W-wedding? Baby, that's too far gone. Firstly let's just think of a date and if you like the boy, we'll see what to do further." He says.

"Mama, date and all is just waste of time. I'm really ready to marry." I tell him.

As I'm not finding a right person for myself, I should at least accept the one my mom chose for me. He's saying the guy is kind, polite and good looking, what more is needed? Especially it's mom who approved him. He might not be perfect like mom but he'll be the right person for me.

"Are you serious, baby?" Mom still asks for confirmation.

"Yeah, just tell them that you like yours friends son to be married to me and ask for their opinion. If they say yes, arrange the wedding. If no, we'll see other prospects." I shrug off.

"What if they ask for a date before proceeding further?" Mom queries.

"Then we'll see! First convey them my thoughts, mama." I state and he nods at me.

Hopefully, me settling in life will put him at ease.
