Brian and I brought the shopping bags into the house and then the kitchen, Brian looked over at Mother "Your boxer shorts, Jeans Brian" Mother said as she handed them over to him "Thank you, Mother," replied Brian "Next time Brian, tell me before I leave the house".  I was in the kitchen helping Mother prepare the food for the barbecue when my phone in my shorts pocket started to ring,  stopped what I was doing and answered it "Max! It's great to hear from you, how is your holiday going" Max is my best friend from college, love the guy.  

"Phillip I am outside your front door!" Max replied "What?" I said walking out of the kitchen and heading over to the front door and opening it "Are you Ok? What happened Max" I said putting my phone back in my shorts pocket, he looked pissed off "Max come on in" "Phillip I got my bag with me as while, is it alright for me to bring it into your house" replied Max "Sure".  Max picked up his bag and walked into the house when Brian walked out of the kitchen, I looked over at him "Brian this is Max September from college" Both of them shook hands "Phillip and I are great friends" Max said to Brian with a great smile.

Describe Max. He is 5'10 in height, has a medium stocky build, Long Jet black hair, and dark brown eyes. Max is wearing a black AC/DC t-shirt, Jeans, and black boots "Max did Paul and Sam let you down" I asked him "Yes Phillip, I got to the airport on time to get my flight, waited for an hour for Paul and Sam, no show from the both of them checked my phone and saw that I got a WhatsApp from Paul.  Both of them got an early flight without telling me, and then my flight got cancelled, will miss the concert of a lifetime over those assholes" said Max "Did you not phone the ticket office for a refund Max" I replied.

"Yeah Phillip but I can exchange it for another one, is it Ok for me to stay at your house until my Dad picks me up," said Max "Phillip why don't you ask Mother," said Brian.  While I was talking to Mother at the barbecue, Max was trying to make conversation with Brian but with no luck "You don't like me Brian" Max asked Brian "No I do not, the way you look and dress" Brian replied "I don't care what you think of me Brian, really don't" Max said putting his hands in his jeans pockets.

I came out of the kitchen "Max you can stay at our house until your dad picks you up" I said picking up his bag "Come on, I'll take you up to my bedroom Max.  What happened between you two while I was talking to our Mother" I asked Brian "I told Max, that I don't like him, Phillip" Brian said with a bit of a smile "You are an asshole Brian, let's go, Max".  I took Max upstairs to my bedroom "I put his bag on the floor "Sorry about my brother Max" "That's ok Phillip, I see you are having a barbecue!!.  Wait I just noticed what you are wearing, and that haircut" Max asked.

"What's wrong with the haircut Max," I asked him "With that haircut, you should be wearing knee-length shorts Phillip, you know, from the 1950s" Max replied "You feeling Ok Max," I asked him " Before Max replied Mother opened my bedroom door and walked in, she did not even acknowledge me when entering my room "Max, are you staying for the barbecue?" Mother asked "If that's Ok with you Miss Wilson," Max said with a smile "Good! There is plenty of food to go around, Max it is a chance for you to meet our friends and family.  If your Dad can't make it you can stay here for the night and go in the morning" replied Mother "Phillip go and have a shower, and get yourself ready before everyone comes" "Yes Mother".

While I was having a shower Max was looking around my bedroom, came across my chest of draws and pulled out the top drawer, he couldn't believe what he saw "It was full of shorts" he closed the draw then pulled the second one out "OMG, so this one " Max said with a big smile "Better close it".  Max looked over at my wardrobe "Shall I, why not" Max walked over and for some reason, he found the key to the wardrobe and opened the doors, "OMG".

Max heard me coming out of the shower and closed the doors, I went in with the towel around my waist "Max the shower is free" I said walking past him.  As I was about to walk over to my bags, Mother walked into my bedroom "Phillip! No! You are not wearing any clothes from those bags for tonight" said Mother pointing at me "Mother! I got a towel around my waist" I replied, "Young man!!!" the tone in Mother's voice I had to give the right answer "Yes Mother".

 Mother opened the wardrobe and took out a cream polo neck t-shirt, dark brown pull-up shorts, ankle socks, white fronts and dark brown shoes.  Mother handed over the white fronts to me "Put them on young man" Mother said I put them on, Mother approached me with the t-shirt "I can dress myself" I said but it fell on deaf ears.  Mother put the T-shirt over my head "Phillip put your arms through the sleeves" I did and Mother pulled down the T-shirt, picked up the shorts put my hands on her shoulders, put my legs through the shorts and Mother pulled them up over my waist. Sat down on my bed Mother put on my ankle socks and shoes "Mother I can dress myself" and again fell on deaf ears.
