Zi Xuan arrived at Yu Hao house promptly at 9:55 am.   It was Saturday and the three couples had decided on a joint date today. They were all supposed to meet up at the cinema at 11.

Zi Xuan had the delightful task of collected his boyfriend from home.  He tried calling him to wake him up but he wasn’t picking up his cell.

Yu Hao has many faults but one of his worst faults is his inability to wake up in the morning.   It worsens on the weekend when he knows he has nothing to do. To Love Yu Hao is to love all sides of him so it’s his job to be the human alarm clock.

He knocked on the door and a short marginally rounded lady with wire rimmed glasses and slightly graying hair answered.

Zi Xuan knew right away that it was Yu Hao's mother “Can I help you? “She asked.

This was the main reasons that Zi Xuan refuse to pick him up from home.

********Flashback to the night before.*********

“No I’m not picking you up. Figure out a way to wake yourself up. Set and alarm like a normal person.” Zi Xuan argued.

“Please Xuan. You know how I am.  Just come to my house and physically wake me up. Otherwise I will be late for the movie.” Yu Hao  

“It’s the weekend won’t I run into your mother.” Zi Xuan said trying to make Yu Hao understand his reluctant for wanting to go there.

“So.” Yu Hao asked in confusion

“It would be my first time meeting my boyfriend’s mother.” Trying to point out why this was important. Still Yu Hao was clueless

“Soooo.”

“Shouldn’t I bring something or say something.”

“First off you can start by not saying you are my boyfriend. I haven’t even told her that yet.  Just say you are a senior and you are picking me up for practice.”

“So the first time I am to meet your mother you want me to tell and untruth.”

“Not fib boy scout. Omit certain facts.”

“I can’t do that to an elder.”

“Oh so telling your parents that you are in After Study when you are really a manager for the volleyball team is call what.”

Zi Xuan pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. “What time would you like me to be there?” Zi Xuan is getting tired of being blackmailed with this one black spot on his otherwise perfect record.   

********End of flashback*****

Zi Xuan did a respectful bow.  “Hello Madam. My name is Zi Xuan. I’m Yu Hao senior from school.” He readjusted his glasses.  Yu Hao swear it was a nervous tick of his.

“Yes yes yes. He told me you were coming to pick him up today. Please come in and have a seat.”  Zi Xuan walked into the apartment and sat on the couch.

Yu Hao mother started to walk into the kitchen. “Would you like something to drink? Something to eat?”

“No thank you Mrs. Xia I already had breakfast.”

Since he didn’t want anything she sat on the couch next to him.  Giving him a friendly smile. He can see where Yu Hao got his smile from. Yu Hao and his mother had smiles that were very heartwarming and honest.  “So do you mind if we talk for a minute. My Hao talks about you so much that I am curious about the senior that captivate him.”

This is it he was screw.  He knew this was a terrible idea.

He started coughing out of fear.

“Are you Ok? I’ll get you some water."
