Under the Jasmine Flowers

“Jizelle’s been over more at the house than you have.”


“Okay, stop being my mother. I don’t need any more guilt.” Jojo shook his head. “But, she hasn’t moved in. I know. She’s shopping for an apartment. I think she’s thinking of staying at Bonifacio.”


“I’m not trying to make you feel guilty.” Erwin honked the horn at another car that cut him off. “Maybe the same building as you then?”


“I’m not too sure about that. She thinks Tiny is too nosy, so she’ll probably be in a different condo. There was a three bedroom she was looking at, like two buildings down from Adam and me.”


“I haven’t seen Master Adam in a few days. And he is well?” Erwin asked.


Jojo smiled. It was so easy to talk to Janeth and Erwin. The day his parents would ask about his boyfriend would be the day that hell would freeze over.


Boyfriend.He laughed softly. He still had to get used to the idea that Adam and he were boyfriends.
