DEBBIE

John woke up with his back soaked in a cold sweat. He gasped for breath like he just ran a marathon. The voice and the eyes of the dark figure seem so real that John could still feel chills run down his spine.

"Shit. this is why you dont sleep in a cemetery. huh?" John muttered as he got up. He had fallen asleep for nearly 4 hours, way longer than what he had intended to stay. "Goodbye brother" john said as he walks back to his car.

On the way he kept recalling the dream it felt bizarrely vivid. Surprisingly John could recall the chant still ringing in his ears. Even though he has no idea what language it was he could repeat it exactly word for word. Since he couldn't understand what was happening, John decided to forget it.

John was about to start the car when he received a phone call. It was from his mom. 'I guess it's really important' John decided to pick up.

"John if I dont see you in 30 minutes, prepare to face the consequences" before John could say anything the stern voice of his mother rang out. After threatening him she hangs up.

"Nice talking to you too mom." John drove towards the appointed place Alfred had told him this morning. After driving for awhile he arrives at an expensive-looking restaurant. As soon as he walks in, he felt many pairs of eyes turn to him.

"You must be Mr. Revear. Please follow me." A pretty waiter respectfully led him towards the second floor. on the second floor by the window he saw two women chatting.

One of them was his mother, Debbie Revear, she was in her late 40's. She was a gorgeous mature lady who one could tell has broken many hearts in her heydays. The other woman was also a beauty but she was much younger, around John's age.

John gritted the two ladies and sat down beside Debbie. "Oh, how nice of you to join us, John," Debbie said with a huge smile. She turned to the young lady and said "This is Irene. Irene this is my youngest son John. Isn't he very handsome?"

John felt his skin crawl when he heard Debbie introduce him to Irene.

Irene smiled and said "I heard so much about you John. Nice to meet you."

"Likewise," John said dismissively. An awkward silence followed. "ahaha. He just like that. He's so shy whenever he meets a cute girl like you. You wouldn't believe it but..." Debbie with her bubbly personality broke the awkwardness.

They started to chat, well it was more of the two women chatting with John's occasional one-word inputs. While they were chatting John took a closer look at Irene and he has to admit she was a very pretty woman. She was pretty but it wasn't like he hadn't seen pretty people before so it didn't affect him much. This went on for half an hour before Irene left.

Debbie sighed and said " Are you always going to be all gloomy? She not one of those spoiled "rich bitches." She's a good girl. Cant, you at least pretend to be civil?"

John just looked at his mom and declined to answer. "of course you won't answer. You haven't been laid yet right?" before John could say anything she continued "You just waste away the genes we have bestowed on you. Your 25 years old and still haven't gotten laid. Why dont you just become a eunuch?!"

John felt like crying from the embarrassment. He could hear soft giggles from the other people and soft whispers. 'This woman, she's doing it on purpose.' john thought. Even a stone statue would be embarrassed in his situation.

"Mom lets go" John swallowed his embarrassment and dragged the woman out of the restaurant. Once they were out Debbie gave John an evil smirk and walked off.

John stood there speechless and still embarrassed. 'Fine since you want to get me laid so much... let's get laid.' John got into his car and took out his phone.

"Hey, Alfred I have a very important question to ask you. you see I was wondering if you could tell me how people usually get laid."

"No Alfred this isn't a joke"

"A bar? yeah, I know where they are."

"So how do I talk to them?"

"Alright, I'll come to pick you up."

With that John hang up his phone and drove towards Alfred's apartment. Once he reaches the apartment he saw his assistant outside in casual attire. Even though Alfred was his assistant, John and he wasn't that far apart age-wise. Look-wise Alfred was considered handsome but not on John's level.
