MY FORTY YEAR OLD BOYFRIEND

Relaxing

*******Four days later *******

"Don!, breakfast is ready" I shouted on my top of lungs from kitchen so that he can hear from the first floor.
Last night we had few drinks and watched a super horror movie which me and Don used to watch regularly when we were children.
"Hey!, how did you wake up so early, I thought you peed in your pants last night" Don said taking a sandwich onto his plate.
I looked at him angrily "shut up, it was you who was looking at the screen with half eyes opened"
"You are a coward David, accept it" he said putting some scrambled eggs in two plates one for each of us.
"Don't you dare to say that Don, remember I am one of the successful men in the city"
"Professionally you maybe, but personally?" he smiled raising his eyebrows.
"What do you mean? , are you talking about Lina?" I said sipping my favourite Orange juice.
"Yeah, I would suggest you to go and meet her as soon as possible"
Yes I am a coward, Don is right, I can't meet her with confidence.
"Ok, I will call her today"
"Yeah, her daughter went to United states of America, she will not return in ten days, this is your best option"
"Hey!" I looked surprised "how did you even know that?, are you stocking her?"
"Of course!, I have to do all of this for the sake of my best friend"
"What else do you know about her?" I said out of curiosity.
"Well!" he sighed a little "from what I have observed from far is that An old man probably the owner of the cafe helped her shift all of her stuff into a big truck four days ago and yesterday I saw her daughter leaving home to airport "
"How do you know she was going to airport , it could be some camping too?"
"Well!, I followed her cab and found out that it stopped at airport, an another lady who maybe Angelina's sister or friend was with her"

"What?  Angelina wasn't with her?, is she okay?" I said bit worried.
"How will I know that, maybe ...Angelina didn't want to go to Airport "
Strange!

"So how do you know that she is away for ten days"
"That lady who accompanied Angelina's daughter, said goodbye and left airport in the same cab , I took this as a chance and enquired with the girl's school staff on what was going on"

"Wow!, you are a genius, anyway do you still believe that Angelina doesn't know that I am the mastermind behind Twin tower construction?"
"I don't have any idea on that, you can still test it if she knows or not" Don said emptying his plate.
"How?"
" by calling on her mobile straight away, if she answers your call, well and good, else ..."

I looked sadly at him, else what?, I can't believe that Angelina would be angry with me for such a silly matter.

"Alright, I shall call her and see"
I quickly dialled her number, I could listen my heart thumping in my chest.
She didn't pick up after multiple rings.Maybe she is tired and sleeping.

"Well she isn't taking my call, better I go straight to her house"  I said looking at his expressionless face.

"No!, not now go in the evening"

"Why?"

"Because by evening her son would be home from school , may be there is a chance that she wouldn't shout at you in front of that lad"

"Hmm, you are right, so what's the plan for the day?"

"Let's get nice oil massage for whole body, I was planning it for a long time, but you know that I can't afford it " he looked at me with puppy eyes, that means I have to pay for it.

"So you collected all this info about Lina, so that you can make me pay for your oil massage?, doesn't it seem to be unfair?"

"No not at all, everything is fair in business, you have to pay my bill"

I laughed out loud because Don is very funny sometimes.

"Okay, I want to get a massage too, we shall ask them to come home, I somehow don't like going out today"

"Wow! Okay let me do something, I shall cook lunch, remember your favourite buffalo chicken wings?" he said searching online to order them.

Me and Don exchanged a beer and nice lunch before the oil massage team came in.The oil massage was so good that I thought I have almost visited heaven two to three times. I paid the team well after they finished the work, appreciating their impeccable work.

"What's next?" Don said after we both finished our evening walk.

"I am planning to go to Lina's house, come what may I can't wait to see her" I said removing my sweat shirt.

"Good decision and all the best, please do wear something good at the same time secret so that people wouldn't recognise you"

"Yeah, those idiots!, I will just wear a hoodie and jeans and do one thing book a taxi for me" I said.

"Sure"
