Chapter 71

Miguel's pov

"Am I getting help here or not? " I  glare at the fan girling old woman.

" Oh, yes I will be right on it" she smiles, switched off the movie she's watching before she follows me upstairs to my room.

"I can't believe am finally living my dream of helping my son out in his first date! " she squeals " I would have posted this on Instagram if we had the network.

hashtag helping my gay son out on his first date, or will it be,"  she gives me a thoughtful look " helping my daughter out on her date? since we know who the males in this relationship actually is."  she wiggles her eyebrows.

" Mom! " I whine " please stop that, you're embarrassing me."  I cover my face with my palm( a useless move, but one nonetheless) out of embarrassment.

This woman certainly is out to get me.

I will die here before I can get the chance to experience a first date.

"And for your information in case you've forgotten, am a male not a female, and am going out on a date with one of the triplets!" I  glare at her with hot pink checks.

She wiggles her eyebrows "we will see about that when you return this night," she walks over to my wardrobe " let's get this out of the way." 

"I don't want to wear the jeans, it's a size too small," I  glare at the clothes she dropped in the be  "I can't be caught dead wearing those clothes."

"Why then, tell me did you buy the clothes if you knew you're not going to wear them?'' she gives me a glare only mothers knows how to give best.

That's a good question there. I bought the clothes to feel pretty in them, but on buying the said clothes I had some regrets beacause I know I won't be wearing those clothes.

"I bought it because I like the material," I touched the said clothes to add more emphasis to my words.

She raises an eyebrow  " you know am your mother?" she gives me a knowing look " I know when you lie and when you tell the truth, so don't ever think you will get away with whatever you're planning. It's either you wear these clothes or you're not going on any date tonight," she threatens to get me to wear the clothes she brought out for me.

The said skinny tight jeans and a loose shirt( I wonder what she would have given me as a shirt if not for my little problems upstairs), was lying on the bed waiting for me to pick them up.

Hmm, I can go out through the window; it can't be all that difficult to climb right? Daniel did exactly that, it's now my turn to do the same.

"Don't you dare think what you're thinking Miguel.  I will be with you all through the night, you don't have any way of escape." she laughed hysterically.

I really regret the minute I asked for her help. I would have been better off without her help, and it wouldn't have put me in the same predicament as the one am in now.

"Okay." I  sighed in defeat "I will wear the clothes on one condition, if it doesn't suit me, I will remove it." 

I smiled inwardly. The clothes will never suit me.

Few minutes later, and I had to eat my words since the said clothes fits me to the extent I felt pretty in them.

"Oh my gosh, my baby is now a grown up,"  mom wipes the tears from her face " look at you looking a decked up for a date. "

" Stop that mom, you're making me...."

the door bell dinged announcing the arrival of someone.

" Check who's at the door please?"

I ask mom although I know exactly who's at the door. The triplets are here for our date.

"I will make sure to keep your men occupied while you calm your nerves," she winks at me.

"They're not my men!, am only dating one of them," I glare at the woman who thinks making fun of my situation is the greatest fun of the century.

Chuckling she winks at me "we will see about that." 

the door bell rings again.

"am  coming, hold on!"  she rushed out of the room.

Taking two quick calming breathe, I walked out of my room, and tried my best not to trip down the stairs in my nervous state.

"They're just the trips and no one else, you've known them and they you, you don't have to feel nervous about the fact they're taking you for a date,"  I give myself a prep talk before entering the parlour.

" You should have seen him when he's little,"  mom Paused.  Am sure she's waiting for their comments.

"I know he will be really cute,"Damien  said.

"I will show you his cute chubby baby pictures the next time you come for a visit."

I can hear the smiles in her voice.

"You want us to come back again?" Daniel asked in disbelief.

I can picture mom giving him an are you serious look "of course.  I will like it if my son's boyfriends comes for a visit. You're now considered family."

"It's rude to eavesdrop," Donald said, and by his playful tone and words, I know he's referring to me.

"Umm" I stutter with a blush "I was um....I was coming in here.....and....I"

I swallowed my words as the three of them walks closer to where am standing.

"You look hot" Damien whispered as he lowers his head to take a whiff of my scent.

I no longer get flustered when he does that since am now attuned to their strange behaviours.

Blushing a deep red at his words, I lowered my face to the floor "thank you?" I shyly said.

Am not one used to so many compliments.

"You look gorgeous," Daniel smiles as he too took a whiff of my scent, but instead of raising his head like Damien did, he placed a light kiss on my neck.
