MingKit - One✅

32

"What?" I answered the phone like a normal person.

"Where are you?"

"At home."

"At home where? I just walked in and I don't see you. Why didn't you call me if you're already here?"

"You just walked in where?" I peeked into the living room, but it was just my parents in there.

"Our apartment."

"Our apartment?" What is he talking about? When did he and I get an apartment?

"Kit, where exactly are you?"

"My parent's house."

"What???" This idiot shouted into my ear. "Why did you go there? You haven't unpacked yet, right? I'm coming to get you."

"Hey Ming..." He hung up. Urgh, I don't know what he's thinking saying he's coming to get me. My family would already be having dinner by the time he gets here. I quickly ate my meal and stepped into the living room. My parents were still watching their show.

"What are you watching? Comedy?" I asked my parents.

"Yes, it's very funny. Want to join us?" Mum answered.

"No, maybe another time." Mum nodded in response and turned back to the tv.

I stood at the window waiting for my idiot boyfriend. I miss him a lot, but I was planning to go to his apartment the next day. He's so impatient. I hope my parents won't complain about him coming here so suddenly, but who am I talking about here? Ming always comes here suddenly.

The gate keeper let him in a little too easily, but whatever. I stepped onto the porch as he parked his car. He stepped out and pounced on me before his car door had shut all the way.

"I miss you so much." Ming said as he held me tightly. I wrapped my hands around his waist in response, enjoying the familiar feel of his body. We really shouldn't be doing this out here because my parents are having dinner just inside. They could see this.

"Are your parents at home?"

"Yes. Why didn't you wait? I was going to come see you tomorrow." I scolded him but didn't make a move to break the hug until he did. I moved my head back when he leaned in closer.

"I want to kiss you, but your mum might see, so later." He moved away just as mum opened the door.

"Ming, you're here. Why are you two standing outside? Come in and join us for dinner." Mum was smiling widely at Ming and she invited him to dinner like it was normal. Well...maybe it is.

Everyone was already at the dinner table, but Ming excused himself after exchanging greetings saying he'd already eaten before dragging me toward the stairs.

"What are you doing?" I asked him in a loud whisper before turning to see if my family was watching but they didn't seem interested at all.

"Taking you to your room." Huh? What is this idiot thinking? We can't do that here. Besides I'm a little tired.

"Hey, my family is here." He wouldn't let me go when I tried to pull my arm out of his grasp.

"So?" So?? How can he ask me that? He dragged me up the stairs without looking back.

"Have some decency, will you? And P'Kieng warned you already." He stopped dragging me and turned to me.

"What do you think we're going to do in your room?"

"Err...umm..."

"Kit, I want to do you very badly, but I know better than to do it here. I don't want your whole family hearing your screams and there are kids here." I blushed, embarrassed at where my thoughts had gone.

"T-t-then why are we going to my room?"

"You'll see." He dragged me through the door of my bedroom and threw open the closet.

"What are you looking for?" I watched him take a bag out of my closet then he begun to throw some of my clothes into it.

"Your stuff. I'm taking you with me."

"Huh?" What is this idiot talking about? I tried to snatch my bag out of his hands, but he wouldn't let go. I took the stuff he'd put in the bag out, but he only put new ones in. "Ming, stop what you're doing?" He didn't listen until I kicked his shin.

"Kit, why did you come here and not to our apartment?" He asked me when he'd finally stopped throwing my clothes into the bag.

"When did you and I get an apartment together?"

"Kit, I sent you the pictures and you picked that place. Why do you think I did that? Because I wanted it to be a place you'd like. So let go off the bag."

"I'm not letting go and you never told me we'd be living together. Besides, we can't...not right now."

"Why not?"

"How would I explain it to my family?"

"I don't know why it's taking you so long. Let's go downstairs, I'll tell them that I'm taking you away to go make you my wife." I kicked his shin again, but he didn't flinch. He seemed serious.

"You wouldn't dare."

"Watch me." He walked toward the door. I stopped him before he could open it. "Kit, I don't like lying about us to your parents. I love you and I'm taking you away from them whether they like it or not." Ai'stupid. Doesn't he know it's important we have our parent's blessings? We wouldn't be where we are without them.

"Why do you want to make things difficult?"

"I am making things difficult? It's you who's making things difficult. If you hadn't stalled all these years we wouldn't be having this argument right now."

"Even if my parents knew and accepted I still can't live with you. That apartment is too far from where I'll be working." He bit down on his jaw before speaking through gritted teeth.

"Kit...are you trying to make me even more mad?" He took a step closer to me. I place my hand on his chest, stopping him from coming any closer before I tried to reason with him.

"Ming, I got the job after you signed the lease for the apartment. I didn't intentionally choose a hospital which was far from the apartment either. It just kind of turned out that way. As for my parents, I'll tell them...umm...soon."

"How soon?"

"Well...just...soon."

"Kit, give me a day or a date, something."

"I-I can't."

"Why not? I'm getting tired of waiting for you to tell them. Or have you been lying about wanting to be with me?"

"Why would I lie about something like that? Are you stupid?" I couldn't help but shout at him. How can he accuse me of such a thing? Lie about something like this for more than six years?

"Ohh, I don't know...to mess with my feelings?" I just had to kick him again.

"What would I gain from messing with your feelings? And I wouldn't have sex with you if I just wanted to mess with your feelings. Do you think I'll give myself up just for something so trivial?" I shoved him away from me and paced the length of my bed, once, before stopping in front of him again. He was fuming, but so was I.

"You know where to find me when you decide to stop messing with my feelings." He stormed out after saying that. Did he hear anything I just said? How can he be so selfish? I haven't told them because I love him so much I'm afraid they might interfere. How can he not see that?
