Idris pulled up at the bus stop where Michael had told him to meet for their date. For good reason, Michael had no intention of letting Idris anywhere near his apartment.
Truth be told, he was hoping this would be the last time he ever had to see or speak to him again.
“Pim Pim.” A car horn sounded, snapping Michael out of his thoughts. He looked up from his phone to see Idris parked right in front of him, grinning and waving excitedly.
Michael forced a smile and got up from the bench, making his way to the car. He opened the door and slid into the passenger seat.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting," Idris said warmly, reaching out to take Michael’s hand.
Michael glanced down at their hands and subtly pulled away, shaking his head slightly. “It’s fine. I just got here too,” he replied. Idris gave a small nod, his brows knitting together in concern.
“You okay?” he asked, sensing that something was off.
