Chapter 16

Bless me. I'm writing this at 1am when I have to wake up for school at 7am. I swear I'm drowning in school work.😥

Kye’s POV:

“Yes, Mr Morrison. I’ve scheduled the flight for 6 to Hawaii and have also sent a copy of the informations to the rest of the team. You’ll be departing on 16th which is a Wednesday and touching down on the 20th, at night. Accommodation has been booked and transport has been arranged to meet you there upon arriving. Do you have any questions, Sir?” Hudson ran through detailedly, closing the sleek black folder in his hands shut.

“Have you wrote in to the construction company, informing them about the visit?” I questioned, so as to double confirm. I don’t want it to be a wasted trip after all.

“Yes, Sir. They have announced that they’re ahead of time and that they’ll be ready anytime to bring the team around anytime. The structure and furnishings are almost completed and they’re left with the reception area, lightings and the interior furnitures.” He explained, leaving promptly after I had thanked him for his hardwork.

Stretching my sore limbs, I stared at the clock in anticipation, hoping that the minute hand would travel faster or something. Its been a month since Xander and I got to even have a proper meal together. It’s either the meetings always clashing with Xander’s lunch break or me getting swamped with paperworks by companies needing confirmation for various things. I wonder how Dad coped with all these work while still spending time with us.

Just as the I prepared to leave my office, my phone rang, vibrating furiously in my breastpocket. Man... It tickles. Speaking of the devil, I answered the call promptly, mentally bracing my ears for the sudden fluctuation of volume and frequency.

“Hello?”

“Hey Son! How’s the company? Coping well? I heard from Castian that you’re managing it well apparently.” Dad shouted over the phone. Well not really shouting but with that naturally loud voice of his, anyone will think that he’s shouting.

“Give me! I wanna talk to my baby!” Mum fussed as her smacks can be heard over the phone. Bless you Dad. Hope you won’t get dementia from Mum’s love for you. “Jim Morrison! Hand it to me right now!” She insisted as Dad sighed loudly into the phone.

“You heard the man-Ouch!” A loud smack, followed by Mum’s grumbles of Dad calling her a man sounded over the phone. I swear they never grow up… “Jesus woman! I’m so going to spank you back twice as hard in bed later.” Ewww… I don’t need to know about their night life. I totally need holy water to cleanse my ears now. “Anyways, I’ll call you after work.” Dad said hastily before passing the phone over to Mum. 3...2...1…

“AM I GETTING ANY GRANDBABIES SOON?!”

“Mummmmm….” I whined. How can I give her grandbabies when at the first place, I’m not even in a relationship. Or… wasn’t.

“I want twins! Triplets works too! HAVE YOU GOTTEN THE D OR THE V YETTT?!”

“Mummm-”

“I swear Kye Morrison. It’s time for you to find someone to settle down soon! Else you still be a virgin at 40 like the title of this book! To think that I lost my virginity at 18! What’s happening to the current society?! HAS THE MAKERS CUT OFF EVERYONES BALLS STARTING FROM THE 21ST CENTURY OR WHAT?!”

“Mum listen… I got the *coughs* d already….” As if on cue, my door opened to reveal a stunned looking Xander who then made his way robotically to the sofa near my side before pretending that he did not hear anything. Talk about being awkward and an embarrassment to society….

“REALLY?! MY BABY IS NO LONGER A VIRGIN?! THAT’S AWESOME! WHEN AM I GOING TO GET MY GRANDBABIES?! I’M SHOCK THAT YOU’RE EVEN INTERESTED IN SOMEONE. YOU ALWAYS SEEMED TO LACK THE SEX DRIVE! LIKE IN ANY NORMAL SON’S ROOM I EXPECT TO FIND PORN MAGS AND SEX TOYS BUT YOURS? YOUR ROOM IS A DISASTER! THERE’S NO GOLD TO DISCOVER! WHO THE HELL HIDES CANDY WRAPPERS UNDER THE BED AT THE AGE OF 22, IN COLOUR CODE TOO, WHEN IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE FOR ALL THE SEXY STUFFS?! IT’S A PLAIN DISASTER!” I cringed slightly, holding the phone away from my ear as she blasted over the phone. Even Xander was trying his best to stop himself from bursting out laughing as he bit down onto his arm hard, tears falling from the corners of his eyes. Well at least someone is entertained. Sigh...mums…. I sometimes wonder if she was the weird one and not me.

“Mum...you’re embarrassing me… my boyfriend is right beside me and he can hear every word you’ve said.” I sighed. What a nice way to introduce your parents. Good impression you’ve created Mum. If Xander ends up running away, I’ll blame it on you and make you repay me by buying the exact same number and brand of sweets which fhe wrappers I’ve painstakingly collected.

“Really?!” She gasped loudly, whispering a sorry.

“Yes.” I deadpanned. Finally. Some peace… or that was what I had hoped for.

“That’s fabulous! Hey boyfriend of Kye’s! It’s Kye’s mum here! You can call me mum too! IS YOUR DICK ON THE LONGER OR THICKER SIDE? HOW WAS IT WITH KYE IN BED? I ASSUME HE SUCKS BUT BE PATIENT WITH MY BABY OKAY?! HE’S SLOW TO COME AROUND THINGS BUT THAT’S WHAT MAKES THINGS EVEN BETTER RIGHT! HELP ME SMOTHER HIM IN KISSES TOO OKAY? ESPECUALLY THOSE FULL WITH SALIVA TYPE. HE NEVER LETS ME KISS HIM CUZ OF MY NASTY LIQUID ACCORDING TO HIS NONSENSE.” She giggled crazily, not caring that she didn’t even know the stranger. I wonder how is Xander not creeped out by her. Even I’m creeped out by my own mum.

“Yes Mdm. I will.” Xander replied in a low husky tone which sent a shiver down my spine. Man. That’s hot.

“OH MY GOD! DID YOU HEAR THAT VOICE, JIM? ITS SO GODDAMN HOT AND SEXY! I FEEL LIKE I’M GOING TO FAINT!” She squealed over the phone. I swear she has a screw or 10 loose.

Shooting Xander an apologetic look, he chuckled lightly before waving it off as we listened to her fangirl over the phone. I swear Dad must be rolling his eyes at her weirdness. I wonder how they even got married at the first place.

“Sorry Kye, I’ll call you back later. Your mum is having a nosebleed. Take care of yourself. Bye son.” Dad sighed loudly before swearing ‘For goodness sake’ under his breath. At least he managed to get his phone back for now.

“Bye Dad.” Ending the call, I sighed in relief before looking at the time to only end up jumping in surprise. I was on the phone for almost 15 minutes! “Shit! Sorry Xan(pronounced as Zen)!”

“Alls good. Your parents sound interesting, especially your mum.” He chuckled lightly, making me groan in embarrassment. “Shall we visit the staff canteen for today? I brought your cutleries.” He suggested, waving the cloth wrapped cutleries in the air. It was a spare set that he kept in case of situations where Castian doesn’t eat lunch with me which happens to occur much more occassionally nowadays. I wonder if he had made his move yet...

“Kye? Are you okay?” Xander’s worried tone snapped me out of my daydream. It was then I realised that we have already reached the entrance of the canteen. “What would you like?”

“Banana split.” I half-exclaimed, half-whispered eagerly. This caused him to shiver a little with a slightly scrunched up face before shaking his head quickly. Is he alright?

“Proper food first, Kye.” He scolded lightly, scanning the stores before deciding on one. Looks good.

“I’ll have the same.” I answered as he nodded. Indeed the food was awesome but nothing beats the view before my very own eyes. It’s breathtaking.
