Chapter 119

Miguel's pov

I smiled "that's the name they know me with in school because am quite popular. This man must have recognized me from when I visited this place with Bianca last week."

 I smiled while discreetly crossing my fingers.

Mom looks at me for a long time before she nods " I see. well it's good that you're popular, if not we would have Parked our car across the road." She walks out, and made to walk to my side so she can open my door for me, but the man at the door beat her to it "Luna" he bows.

I smile at him "thank you," I  said with enough sincerity in my voice.

"It's my pleasure serving you Luna," He walks out, and went back to standing at the door.

Since my mates' car is parked outside, does that mean they're in here?

If so, what are they doing?

Mom raised a brow "things are getting stranger, why will he open your door for you, and bow while doing it?" mom looked at me in suspicion.

I smiled " I and my boyfriends ( it turns out mom's help was enlisted, she waa the one that gave the idea of dropping me off at the road to avoid me getting my suspicion; a mother she is) are the kings of high school, so he must have heard of how they open doors for me."

" More like princes and princess," mom scoffed before walking towards the door.

" Am a male mother, why should I be referred to as a princess?" I give her back a stare.

"You don't look like a boy, and moreover which boy have breasts..." I  rushed and covered her mouth.

"You talk a lot,"  I look around to make sure no one else heard her words, and thankfully there was no one, not even the man on the door was looking at us.

She licked my palm, causing me to Yelp "I don't think I've seen a male who yelps like a female," she says with a roll of her eyes.

" Gross,"  I look at my palm in disgust before I walked past her to the door, but before I can open the door, the door man have already done it for me.

" Thank you"

" It's my pleasure." 

"Luna, how may our humble supermarket help you?" a well dressed woman appeared out of nowhere. It was as if she've been waiting for me.

"We're here to buy ingredients for dinner."

I tell her with a smile, but my smile made her uneasy as she continued looking up.

I also looked up expecting to see what she's looking at, but when I looked up, I saw an empty balcony.

"You can sit here while I get those ingredients for you, it's of no use stressing yourself," she says respectively.

Mom came up to us with raised brow "what are you talking to my son about?" she placed both her hands on her hips.

" Ma I was asking him to sit while I get the ingredients for you." She says with a smile towards mother.

"Am grateful for your good thoughts for my son, but I will like it if we're the ones who pick out those ingredients," mom says with a smile.

The woman looks like she wants to protest "i will love to follow my mom to help her get the ingredients, it's a form of bonding," I  smiled.

" If you say so Luna, I will be here of there's anything you need. In case you don't find anything you want here, you can tell me and I will get it for you at the mall," she bows to me before she left.

" Am still having my doubts and fears of all these people who're willing to help," Mom looked at me " why do they bow when talking to you? is there something you're not telling me?"

at her questions, my heart skipped a beat, but I maintain to avoid more questions.

"Are you sure am not the lost prince of Haji town whom you and dad kidnapped when you came here on a trip?" I  raised a brow at her " that will be the only reasonable explanation for that."

" You big head, " she glared at me before storming over to get a shopping basket for us " here" she placed the basket on my hand " let's go do some shopping." 

" Luna please, allow me to take the basket from you," a worked rushed over to me " we're here to get do your biddings," she  takes the basket in my hands from me, and rushed to follow mom.

I looked around the supermarket, and that's when I noticed something odd.

The counters, and stalls closed to me are filled with females while the males are all at the farther side.

If I've not being in this supermarket, I wouldn't have noticed it, but since I've been here for like twice now, I know that's not how it have been.

Not only that, but there seems to be a lack of people other than the workers, which wouldn't have been believable if not for the lack of parking space outside.

Where are the owners of the cars parked outside?

Are they in here? 

If so, why are they not in here?

I look back at the males clustered at a place, and decided to test my theory.

Immediately I took a step towards them to check if my theory about them avoiding me for reasons only known to them, three things happened.

1: the males on seeing me, all ran into a door, six of them with a frightened look on their faces.

2: The matron who met on the door stopped me from further going after the disappearing males.

3: Mother shouted my name so damn loudly, I thought she was being murdered.

I stood still on the floor without knowing what to do, should I follow after the running males,or should I go back to mother?

I was torn over what  to do.
