''Who is she? Is she pretty? What stage are you in? Is she hour girlfriend? Is she-" Mrs Wilson asked her son in full swing. Her eyes were brimming with excitement and she looked like a little girl who was just given her favorite toy.
''Mom... It's not like that.''
''What do you mean it's not like that? Isn't she your girlfriend?'' Mrs Wilson was practically shouting right now. ''Lyle, you don't have to hide it from us you know. We wouldn't stop you afterall we have also been through that stage so we know that such matters can't be forced.''
Looking at that serious yet hurt face of his mom, Lyle really couldn't bear that guilt which was gnawing him.
''She isn't my girlfriend... yet.''
''What?''
''What?''
Both Mr and Mrs Wilson screamed in shock.
''How could my sperm produce such a disappointment.'' Mr Wilson said shaking his head in disbelief. ''Do you know that when I was your age, I already had five exes? Damn...''
''Oh...'' Mr Wilson felt a chilly air blow past him with that one sound from his wife. He quickly tried to mend his way realizing that he might might to sleep in the dog house otherwise. ''Ofcourse, I didn't care about any of them. I wasn't even serious with anyone before your mom came. I swear I never met someone better than you mom. That's why I fell for her at first sight.''
''Wasn't someone proud that he had five exes? What happened? Aren't you going to boast a bit more? I was all ears.'' Mrs Wilson said sweetly but Mr Wilson could feel his body hair stand up.
Oh shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit...
''Darling, I...''
''Excuse me sir? Can you please drive a bit faster? Our destination is still far away.'' Mrs Wilson played the 'Do I know you?' card very smoothly making Mr Wilson want to cry.
''Honey, I was wrong. I'm sorry. Honey. Darling. Sweetheart. Love....'' And so went on Mr Wilson's sweet name calling but Mrs Wilson just went on ignoring him and patting the pups.
Behind then, Lyle was feeling quite relieved. Atleast their attention got taken away.
...
When they reached their destination, Mrs Wilson called her friend to inform her. In other words, she forgot the location.
After waiting for ten minutes, a middle-aged woman around the same age as Mrs Wilson walked toward them.
Seeing her, Mrs Wilson seemed refreshed as she ran towards the lady and hugged her tight.
''Emmy...''
''Anna...''
The two women looked like two young kids meeting eachother for their playtime.
''Ahem...'' Mr Wilson cleared his throat to let his presence be known.
''Oh... hey Charlie.'' The lady greated somewhat nonchalantly before going back to taking with Mrs Wilson.
''Anna, you forgot the location again. *Sigh* Come come. Let's go home. Lyle, right? I am your godmom.'' The lady said as she patted Lyle's head while standing on her tippy toes.
