Christmas Eve
Throughout yesterday moments with Stan, I had been wondering what had got into Stan that he thought bringing me to his family for Christmas Eve would be a thrilling idea. Seriously? I wanna know what was on his mind when he invited me to come to his family house and eat dinner casually as if nothing had happened between him and his parents.
I was worriedly pacing back and forth in my room - had been ready with my outfit and the spirit of Christmas Eve but was tarnished instantly when I pondered about what would happen at Stan's.
Truly I was at the edge of my meltdown because of how scared I was. On top of that, when was the last time I had dinner with his family. Last I remember was when I saw Stan jacking off towards me and at the same time professes his liking towards me, which had given the dinner an awkward vibe between the both of us.
Now that his relationship with his parents was nowhere near fixed because of how they rejected Stan's liking towards guys, I presumed that things would get much more awkward if I were to be there. The guy that their son is in love with.
Had I ever known that this would come soon and be prepared for it? Yes.
But had I ever thought it would be this soon? No.
In my mind, all I could think about was we would eventually date for a couple of months before even confronting his parents about it. It would be a slow approach and a steady one at that. Something that I, myself is very much would like a relationship to be. But now that this happens... I can't even say 'no' to Stan.
He had said it with much compassion and sincerity that I really wouldn't want to break. Not that saying 'no' was a hurtful thing but would you, yourself even say 'no' if someone truly wants you to be there with them on a special day? Today was a special day... one where I was celebrating the night before Christmas with Stan and potentially start making amends with his parents about our relationship.
Plus... I could meet Natalie. It has been a while since I saw the girl. The girl got engaged to her long-time boyfriend! How exciting was that? I hadn't asked Stan about Natalie since it would bring him bad memories of his family. Although it wouldn't treat him badly as how he did five years ago, I know what a long term trauma feels like. I have gone through it... because of him.
I continued to pace anxiously thinking about the dinner that I hadn't heard my mom knocking on my door and coming in to calm me down. My parents know about the dinner, and we too have our own little dinner but for the sake of coming to Stan's, mom and dad decided that dinner would be short. She even said herself that if it Christmas Eve... there's no time scheduled to rejoice it. We don't even need to have dinner nor do fancy shit with the table laid with fancy shits. All we needed was each other.
"Kai... you need to calm down. If you went there in this kind of state, it'll be much worse," She consoled, pulling me down for us to sit on my bed. I glance at her from the corner of my eye while Bubby then came to us afterwards. Probably looking for Mom to give him something to eat.
