His Darling

Chapter 8

"Alright, I'll go get my phone. You wait here, I'll be right back, darling"

Sylus swiftly turns and exits the kitchen, heading into the bedroom to grab his phone off the nightstand. You walk to the couch in the living room and sit down.

A few moments later, your husband returns, phone in hand. He walks into the living room and sits down beside you on the couch.

"Okay, I got it."

You nod and watch him unlock his phone, pulling up his contacts and scrolling down to find his mom's number. Once he finds it, he presses the call button and holds the phone to his ear.

"Put on the speaker..." You say as you tap his shoulder.

Sylus grins and nods, pressing the button to turn on the speaker mode so that the call is now the speaker. You listen to the ringing sound and watch the screen.

Sylus turns his gaze to the phone, listening to the ringing as well. He begins to bounce his leg up and down nervously, feeling excited and anxious to hear their reaction.

"She's not picking up?" You ask as you look up at him.

Sylus shakes his head and keeps his eyes fixed on the phone.

"No, not yet. She might be busy or something. She'll pick up eventually, just give it a minute or two, darling."

You nod. "I guess they're busy..."

Sylus sighs and nods, agreeing with your statement.

"Yeah, they probably are. We just need to be a little more patient. They'll answer eventually"

A few seconds pass before the phone call finally connects, and his mother's voice is heard on the other end. Your eyes light up and smile widely.

Mom: "Hello? Sylus?"

Sylus grins, hearing his mother's voice, and he replies. "Hey Mom! Yeah, it's me. Is Dad there too?"

You watch Sylus as he speaks.

Mom: "Yeah, he's still here. He's in the kitchen making some sort of food, I don't know what he's preparing yet."

Sylus nods, his grin getting wider.

"Oh, sounds like Dad alright. Can you put me on the speaker so I can talk to both of you at the same time?"

You move closer to Sylus and listen closely.

Mom: "Sure, give me one second"

There is a short pause before the sound of the call being put on the speaker is heard.

Dad: "Hey son, is that you?"

Mom: "So, what's going on? You never really call us on the phone like this. Is everything okay?"

You pat his arm a few times and whisper. "Tell them, tell them..."

Sylus grins, his heart racing. He takes a deep breath and replies, his voice full of excitement.

"Yeah, yeah. Everything's fine. In fact, I and (y/n) have some incredible news to tell you both"

"Don't tell them the news yet, ask them if we can visit and stay at their place for a few days..." You whisper again.

Sylus raises an eyebrow, a bit confused by your request, but nods, trusting your idea. He replies to his parents.

"Actually, we were wondering if we could come and visit you for a few days. We'd love to stay at your place if that's alright with you both"

You nod at his words and put your thumbs up. "Right, right"

Sylus grins, understanding your silent approval, and watches as his parents respond.
