Gay For Rent

Anticipated Encounter

[suport my man and his baby! anyway do you like the new cover or old one?]

New

"No shit, did he really took you to a pet shop?" Krist wipes his mouth roughly, now his black sweater sleeve gonna have stain of pink milk.

"Use napkin, you idiot." I hand him a folded napkin and he use the napkin to wipe his alread wiped mouth. Smart. Indeed. "Yes, well more like a pet grooming place slash a vet? You know, that one with cafe attached to it." I explain more and I show him a couple pictures I took with Nyan and his gang of fur.

"Oh they have a really good lemon tea! Wow, Tawan is indeed a catch. What did you say?" Krist swiped through tons pictures of cat on different angles.

"Uhm... thanks for today?" I mumble, feeling my cheeks heated up.

"Dude?! You should say something like 'I had fun, let's date!' or something like 'Let's go here again, together' and you said thanks instead? What are you? A middle schooler?" Krist shake his head and I just sigh.

"I was... shy. Kit, I just had a date with Tawan. The Tawan that I've been crushing on after I got humiliated for crushing a boy back in high school." I lay down on my back, processing the fact that it was my first date. Ever."

"Yeah, but you shouldn't waste a golden chance like that. Fool. Seriously, you're not a twelve year old you should say something that has impact. That left him wondering 'oh, why did New said that?' or 'New is different today, I wonder what's wrong.' But no, you just said thanks for today." Kit grumbled and slurping his milk in anger. He finished the whole glass on one slurp. What a talent of slurping.

"Oh shut up." I glared at him. "My heart was constantly thumping I don't even know whether I am alive or not right now. I swear I skipped like a beat or dozens during that date."

"Fine. Let's settle with it is your first normal date. Now text him, ask him on date again tomorrow." Krist handed me my blue cased phone and I shook my head.

I guess Krist took that as a sign of me asking for his help or something. So this idiot turtle friend of mine just took my phone, he fumbling on the screen for a while before a highly suspicious grin grow on his face.

"There. Tomorrow, at noon. I don't know your favorite place though, you'll figure it out right?"

I yank my phone from his hand and I can see Tay already seen the message.

To Tay:

Today was fun. Let's do something again tomorrow, pick me up at 12. Let's have lunch and fun ;)

"KRIST PERAWAAAAAT!!" I glared more at him, eyes staring at how Tay reply with a simple ok sticker and I read the message I "supposedly" send again.

With wink emoji.

A freaking wink emoji.

"And you dare saying I was a middle schooler? Dude, who the fuck use wink emoji these days? Kit, you idiot. Aaaargh!!" I run my fingers hastily through my hair and groan in major frustration.

"I did. What chu gonna do about it?" Krist just shrugged, hands grabbing my chocolate mikshake and he took a long sip through my straw. I don't even have energy to care about my milk, and coming from me. That's huge.

"I don't know where to take him tomorrow."

"Figure something out, you rented him. Don't waste money, my dear friend. You can waste chances but never waste money." Kit smiled ever so innnocently, if only he wasn't a useful friend. I'll probably leave this store in handcuffs for murdering a friend.
