Midnight Lovers

Chap 3

"Mum?"

"Honey. Morning."

"Where's dad?"

"I don't know.... He didn't came home last night..." She looks worried but, you know your dad probably busy with his work. He's so committed to something that he's interested in. Forever wishing, you need that kinda commitment...

"Mum. I met a guy yesterday. His name is Harlyn Hunter. He's got the same voice and what's the most scariest or creepy, is that, his face exactly the same with the guy in my dream..."

"Harlyn? Hmmm, and you've got hots for him?" She asked. She's still holding her phone while texting someone. "Nope. I mean, if you know him. He's a  real good looking..." She grinned at you. "Mum!"

"You like him, don't you?? Well, you're a bad liar, Elena."

"He's just another stranger. I rather fall in love with a guy that I really know. We're living in a world full of danger and disguise... What if he's a murderer? Or a vampire that's going to suck my blood? I've read 'the silent murder' mum. Duh. It makes me want to stay at home forever..." She nods, as she reach for your hand. "You're right. But, if it's really a calling, you can't escape it. You can't say that, honey. Maybe, that's how the destiny work for you... "

"But, we're just, uh, pure human?"

"Urm kinda but, there's something that you don't know. I rather keep it to myself, until you discover on your own. That guy can be, someone that's important to you. That's the hint. You can take it or ignore it."

"I take that even though, your hint isn't really helping me but I'd thanked you for that..."

You glanced at your phone screen as you hear there's a notification sound. "Unknown number?" You said. But, you still check the message anyway...

Harlyn : how are you? :)

You look up and you can see your mum is smiling at you. "He texted you... I know.." She said. "Mum. I know that you can read my mind but, just stop... Mum, help me!"

"Okay. Give me the phone."

"No!!"

"Fine. I'm not going to help you, then."

Your mum always win and again, for this time. "Done." She gives back your phone. "Mum? Isn't that's just too cheesy? I'm a girl though. I don't want him to think that I'm trying to flirt with him..." You read the message that your mum sent to him again.

You : Good. But, I'm wondering do you have an extra heart? Mine was just stolen by you ;)

"Girl trust me. I'm your mama and, I know what to do so that you can get a boyfriend as soon as possible... I'm getting old, mija." She said and laughed. "Oh no, he finally replied."

Harlyn : I don't but, I'm willing to give  what's mine to you. You're so cute tho haha

You read the text and find yourself blushing. "Honey, get your man!" Your mum said. "Mum, ugh... "

"I'll get the door."

As soon as the door open, he's standing there, but, giving the back of his. He wears black sweatshirt. Well, probably black is his favorite colour.
"Harlyn?" You said. "Hey." It may just a normal hey but, you're lowkey dying inside... "What are you doing here?" You asked. "To see you? If that's the actual reason..."

"Oh, yeah. I guess I can accept that?"

"Can I come in?"

"Sure. Come in!" You said. "Suit yourself." He sits on the couch and look around the living room. "What do you want to have? Coke or Plain water?" You added. "Plain water. Thank you." He said."This guy literally has a manner." You whispered to yourself.

"Who's that?" Your mum asked. She's still at the kitchen to cook for lunch. "Harlyn." You said. There she goes again with that smirk. "Tell him to stay for awhile so that he can have lunch with us! Your dad will be here soon..."

"This is for you."

"Thank you again. Can I meet your parents?" He said. "Sure but my dad isn't home yet... But, yes, my mum is home... "

"Where's she?"

This is the first time ever someone gets excited to meet your parents... "Follow me." You said. "Oh, Harlyn!!" Your mum said. She open her apron and hug him. "What a young handsome man." She added. "You know him? Do you know each other??"

As Harlyn about to say something, your mum cut him off first. "No." You looked at him then to your mum. Then, back to Harlyn. "Well, okay..."

"Wait for me!" He said and follow you from behind. "I thought you're going to talk to my mum? That's why I leave you guys alone...."

"I came here because of..... Uh, I've something to talk with you."
