"So I only get to know the bare minimum about you?" I ask, observing him across the table from me. He decided to take us to one of his favorite restaurants for lunch. The food here is exceptional, and the lack of people at this time provided us with a sense of privacy.
"It depends, what you wanna know?" I want to know everything, but I am sure he wouldn't allow it.
"How was your childhood?" I started off.
"Not the best, but it was okay." I wasn't expecting that, but it kinda explains his attitude a bit.
"Care to elaborate, and if not which school you use to attend?"
"JC."
"Oh, my brother use to go there too." I'm curious if they have any connection, given that they are in the same age range.
"You have siblings?" I nodded.
"A older brother and sister, you?"
"I have a twin brother, but he lives in the UK." I never expected that either. "Wah bout your upbringing?" He asks.
"I'd say, normal. Except, I didn't necessarily have a lot of friends though, I was really shy and a pushover."
"Cry baby?"
"Yeah." I felt embarrassed as I remembered how the children would bully me knowing I wouldn't speak up for myself. "What do you do in your free time?" I continue the conversation.
"Me work a lot so I don't usually have free time." I had the impression that he did, but I didn't consider him to be a workaholic.
"Doesn't that bother you?" I genuinely asked.
"More while, yes, but mi gradually get use to it. Just annoyed when mi cah get likkle peace of mind." I nod in agreement. I have a complete understanding of how that feels. When I had to work two shifts at the time just so I could save up money, that was not easy.
"Why you hate relationships so much?" I am curious about who could have caused him so much pain, that he cannot imagine himself communicating with anyone on a emotional level.
"I don't hate it."
"So you avoid them because...?"
"Bad experience. Relationships with no commitment, more easier fi me deal with, especially with my hectic life style."
