The Birthmark (#Wattys2016)

Outfit

"What, no. I am not going with you. I am not going to cancel my movie plans. Fix that up!" I yelled at my mom.

My mom means the world to me. She is like this angel who guides me to perfect path if I am heading towards a wrong direction. Sometimes, I yell at her. At that time, I just don't feel anything. But, later on in the day, I feel really guilty and sad that I yelled at my bae. My angel! And at the end, it's me who goes and apologises. My mom shows anger and integrity in the initial moments and then melts at the end. I love her to the core.

"You have to come with me, son. Aunt Joseph is going to give us a treat of her birthday. She asked me to definitely bring you. You have to come. Friends will be there throughout your life, but Aunt Joseph will shift to Brazil, next year. Don't you wanna meet her?" My mom says all these words making me emotional.

"Look mom. I have promised my friends that I will come today. I can't break their promise. And, I will definitely come to Aunt's place the next time. Pleaseeeee." I say with an face that is asking for sympathy.

Mom feels disappointed but at the end, she allows me to go for the movie. I immediately hug my mom and kiss her on her forehead. She didn't react, and went to continue her work.

I rush to my room. All happy!

I search through my closet for a classy outfit. I never give a fuck to outfit but today I had to. After all, I had to impress Sandra. The girl was playing in my mind. I started imagining that Sandra loved my outfit. She got so impressed and drooled by my charmness that she fell for it. Then, we came closer and closer until my lips touched her's. We had a passionate kiss. A kiss to remember.

"Mike, I am going for a bath. If someone comes then, open up the door." Mom's words brought me back into reality. I replied, "Ok. I will."

Guys have this weird imagination thing. Once, we start feeling differently for a girl, we start imagining themselves with that girl in future. Same happened with me.

I continue my frantic search for a outfit. But, I just couldn't find anything that would impress a college queen. Suddenly, I hear my phone ringing. It was my sister. I then remembered that today was her exam. I answer the call.

"Dude, I am coming in few minutes. I am very exhausted. Please make some smoothies for me and it would be great if you could make some juices. Please, I am very tired."

I know that by telling my sister a firm 'no', I will be inviting trouble for myself. She will get all angry and then, I have to convince her. So, to avoid all that shit, I agree to my sister's requests. She thanks me and cuts the call.

I still had more than an hour for the movie. Plenty of time. So I pause my search for outfits and head towards the kitchen to make all that my sister wants.

My sister is a bit demanding. At times, she can be a pain in the ass. She asks me to do all her works. But, when I ask her the same, she gets all furious. Yeah, she helps me too in my works. Nevertheless, who am I to judge her?

After some 30-35 minutes I finish the work. By the time, my sister was also home. Her exam had gone a bit tough. She wasn't that happy.

I didn't had enough time to console my sis. So, I ask her to help me out to pick out an outfit. She looked at me with one of her eyebrows raised. I gave her an confused look. Then, I understood everything.

"Not even a single girl is coming." I said rolling my eyes. She replied,"But, when did I say that a girl is coming?" She is more cunning than a detective.

I roll my eyes and said,"Ok, now don't act smart. Help me. I can't find anything." My sister laughs and gets up to help me find something nice to wear.

Finally, I end up wearing an black shirt with my sleeves rolled up. I check up on the mirror. Hair done, jeans done, outfit looking perfect and rolled up sleeves looking amazing. Great!

I take money from my mother and bid her a goodbye. She gives me some instructions and I don't give a fuck to it. My mind was way too excited for the meeting with the girl I have a crush on.

I call up the girl playing in my mind. She picks up the phone call and answers,"Hey, I need 10 more minutes. Didn't get ready yet. Please. After 10 minutes, you and Sylvester come down my building."

I was about to inform her that Sylvester won't be there with us, but before that the call hung up. She was in bit too hurry, I guess.

I start walking towards her building. On the way, I was thinking of the words to say her when me meet.

After some 15 minutes, I reach down her building. I start searching for her. But, just couldn't find the girl anywhere. Then, I just decided to call her. Guess, she must not be down yet.

Suddenly, I get a pat on my back. I turn around.

And the temperature increased.
( If you know what I mean ) :)
