Innocent Yet Wild
"Fine I did. But that is not important. Quick wear something more presentable. You need to leave in fifteen minutes to pick her up. Hurry hurry," she said as she pushes him towards his walk-in closet to get changed.
"Why? Where am I going? Who am I picking up in such short notice?" Feng Yisheng bombarded his mother with so many questions. He was confused.
"Ahem, honey... you know you just came back from London right?"
"Uh-huh."
"And it's been over uhm... eleven years since you came back."
"Sixteen years actually. But what are you getting at. You're making me nervous," Feng Yisheng probed.
"Okay okay. I want you to go pick your Aunt Bai's daughter and the two of you should hang out together. She'll show you around and you'll accompany her. You know what? Both of you will accompany each other. So go and get ready." Feng Sue blurted out in one go.
Her son who has been quite since she spoke. She wanted a reaction from him and he was just staring at her like she just spoke gibberish.
"Quick question. Who is this uhm, Aunt Bai?"
*glass shatters in Feng Sue's mind*
"Y-You... Don't tell me t-that you forgot your aunt. Your mother's best friend? Is that how the details of my life is unimportant to you that you forget in such a short time?" Feng Sue snapped.
"Woah woah hold on, sugar. First of all, you, my mother is more important than the air I breathe. Secondly, I left City X with you and pops when I was six. Now I am back as a grown twenty-two rear old youth. That is a very very long time. I don't even know how to speak our language fluently anymore," Feng Yisheng corrected his mother's statement.
"Sigh, what will I do with you?" Feng Sue groaned ad she massaged her temples.
"Nothing mum. Just love me like you always do, but this time more because I had to stay for an extra year without you by me side." Feng Yisheng engulfed his mother in a warm hug.
"I am sorry for that and now I have to leave you again for two weeks. It's killing me. I miss my honey bear alot," Feng Sue whinned like a kid.
"Hahaha, mum you still call me that? I am an adult now. Anyways just have fun with pops on the trip alright. I will be fine, okay?" He assured her while rubbing her back in a soothing manner.
"So will you go on this date with that girl, your Aunt Bai's daughter?"
"Mum I still don't know these two persons you are talking about."
"Oh right. Ying and I were friends since high school. We were very close and also did almost everything together. She's my best friend. After we both got married to the men of our dreams, we gave birth to you and her daughter, Bai Ming, whom you are supposed to pick up in forty minutes time," Feng Yisheng summarized her relationship with Lin Ying to her son.
"You and baby Ming were so cute and you played together everytime me and Ying met up. You even attended the same kindergarten and grade school with her. Such sweet memories to reminisce about."
"Okay too much details. I will get ready now," Feng Yisheng said and went to pick up a casual black jeans, black T-shirt paired with a black sneakers. When he came back, he met his mother still standing in his room. Furrowing his brows, Feng Yisheng asked, "Mum, why are you still here? I need to change my clothes. Please give me some space, thank you."
"You act like I was not the one that gave birth to you. I have seen everything," Feng Sue scoffed.
"MUM! Geez mum. You only saw everything when I was a kid. Now I am a grown man. How can you be so shameless? Go away," Feng Yisheng shouted in embarrassment. His ears were burning.
"Alright fine. Be quick though. I will send you the address and don't forget to take a coat. It's quite windy outside today." With that settled, she left the room to give him his said 'space'.
By the time he came downstairs, he was fully dressed and hung a grey jacket in his left arm. He looked like an eye candy. So handsome, innocent and at the same time wild.
The maid present at the living room were oogling at their young master's unknowing charm.
Whistling, Feng Sue couldn't stop raining praises on him. "I bet that girl will loose her eyes when she sees you. You look like your dad when he was younger, so refreshing and pleasing to the eye."
He coughing lightly to cover his embarrassment from his mother's shameful words.
"I will get going now. See you in a while mum, I love you," he said and gave her a peck on her cheek.
"Hmm. I love you too. Make sure no one gets an accident because of you," she teased.
"Alright."
