Chapter 78: Side Story-11

JOHN

"You are coming home with Erwin and Steve, right?" My father’s deep, grumpy voice rings out through my phone’s speaker and pours out in my ear.

"I-I am not sure father." I stammer before pulling myself together. "He is a married man now. I can’t just bring him wherever I want and whenever I want father."

"I am aware of the fact better than you. This is why I am not asking him to come alone." My father snort irritatedly, "Ask him to bring his husband with you."

Okay. Now or never.

"Umm, Father but I don’t think I will come to Thanksgiving just by myself this year." I inhale a huge amount of air and almost overflow my lungs’ capacity, "I am seeing someone."

"You are seeing someone?" I can see a frown forming on my father’s face from here. His voice is telling me that he is not at all happy with my development. "Who is it? Is it an omega? Female or male one?"

"He is an alpha." I pause briefly before answering.

My father is quite not saying anything. If his heavy breathing wasn’t still there then I would have thought that he had hung up the call. "You are dating an alpha? Are you in your right mind now, John?" He asks firmly but this is not enough for my resolve to crumble.

"Yes," I reply in the same manner, gripping my phone so tightly that my knuckles are turning white.

"If I tell you to stop seeing him then will it make any difference?" He asks blandly.

"No." I stand my ground and my knees betray the stability in my voice.

"Very well." My father huffs, "Bring him to the dinner with you. I want to see him. Then I will decide whether he is right for you or not."

"Father I think you are mistaken." I suck in a sharp breath, "I may bring him to the dinner but I m afraid that you have no saying in this when I have already decided on my partner."

My father pauses, "I am hoping you at the dinner." He hangs up.

The moment he hangs up I know that I am cooked. He will wash me without any soap or water.

I lower the phone from my ear with a slight tremor on my limbs. I have always listened to my father. There were very few times when I disobeyed him and the consequence was vital. I don’t know what consequence will come with this disobedience. I am scared to think about it.

Suddenly my phone chimes and I jolt.

ERWIN: Come down. We are here.

JOHN: Will be down in a minute.

I pocket my phone and slip my foot into my boot. Today is Halloween and Erwin and I always go to a horror house to celebrate it then come home and do a movie night. That bastard, Erwin is the most screwed person I have seen in my life. I have never seen someone who is amazed to see ghosts or spirits but that bastard is and he fucking enjoys his abnormality.

This year he is married and I have a boyfriend so, they will be joining today. This is particularly a double date.

Leo asked me a few days ago if there is something Erwin is scared of anything and I just told him that even if a dinosaur were to appear before him, that bastard would just laugh it off or brag about how ugly its looks are. Just this kind of a person Leo has married. Leo sounded disappointed at the information but didn’t complain about it. Maybe he wanted to prank Erwin or something.

I don’t take Steve with me. I leave him to the granny next door. And take the stairs to wind my way down because the elevator is out of order for a week. There is a problem with the maintenance.

It took me a very good five minutes to climb down twenty floors. God knows how am I supposed to climb this many stairs up. I will have to visit the doctor twice this week to show my legs I suppose.

I step out of the building lobby and spot a shiny black car parked right before the entrance. I approach the car and pull the door open. "Good evening guys." I slid into the back seat where Ruth was sitting alone. Erwin is sitting in the driver’s seat and Leo is sitting beside him.

"You look tired already." Erwin remarks sharply, "What were you doing?"

"The elevator in the building is out of order." I shut the door with a muffled thud and plug my seat belt, "I needed to climb down the whole twenty floor."

"You did what?" Ruth blurts out, "It’s twenty floors not two."

"I know." I nod in acknowledgment.

"It’s your problem then. I can’t do anything to solve it." Erwin starts the car and says nonchalantly.

"I didn’t ask you to solve my problems in the first place." I snap, irritated.

"Hey, hey" Leo tries to sooth the air, "Let’s not fight. It’s only the evening."

I sometimes wonder how is he so beautiful and graceful. He has that main character aura around him that most people don’t. He sometimes makes me wonder if humans are supposed to be this beautiful and complete.

"Sorry." I apologize, "Now tell him to apologize too." I incline to Erwin.

Leo looks at Erwin with something in his eyes that I can’t quite put my finger to. "I am sorry," Erwin grumbles.

"Humph." I humph and turn my attention to the other two in the car, "Hey guys where are you all going for Thanksgiving?"

Leo looks like I have clicked something in his head, "I wanted to talk about this with Erwin for a long time now." He turns to Erwin, "Where are we going?"

"I usually go with, John to his family house." Erwin doesn’t take his eyes off the road as he answers Leo’s question.

"You two are invited again this year," I state. "My father called earlier. Will you come?"

Leo looks hesitant as he contemplates the answer, "Is it okay for me to go?"

"Don’t worry," Erwin assures Leo, "His father likes me more than him and he will surely like you nor he wouldn’t go out of his way and invite you there."

"Are you insulting me somehow?" I raise an eyebrow.

"You didn’t get me already?" Erwin holds back a laugh, "I thought you already did."

"Erwin, you..." I shut up and turn to Ruth who seems to be very deep in thought, "What about you Ruth?"

"Well, I am not sure if I should come with you guys since your father doesn’t know about us." He says, looking not so happy with his own words.

"Umm, about that... I did something...bad, I guess." I scratch my cheek nervously.

"What did you do?" Ruth asks, already anticipating my answer. "Don’t tell me you told him about us. Just like that.

"I did..." I laugh nervously, "I am sorry it slipped, I didn’t mean to."

"It doesn’t matter." Ruth waves it off, "What did he say? I mean was he mad or unhappy about it?" Ruth looks genuinely tensed.

"Well...he wanted to see you," I say slowly, carefully keeping my gaze low, not trying to meet his emerald eyes. "He told me to bring along this Thanksgiving."

Erwin whistles from the front, "You are cooked man. Thoroughly."

"Erwin." Leo cries.

"Sorry, sorry." Erwin apologizes most unapologetically. "Please continue."

"So, are you going with me?" I ask, uncertainty and anxiety gnawing at me as I lift my gaze to meet his.

"Do you even need to ask?" Ruth smiles brightly, "Of course I am."

I smile.

My stepmother was pregnant a few months ago so, she has possibly given birth already. My father has never told me about her because he thought I wouldn’t like hearing about another woman from his mouth. And he is not entirely wrong. I hated hearing about her at first even though she was always polite and nice to me.

So, my father stopped telling me about her, and I don’t say anything about it but sometimes I feel bad about past behavior. I guess I will apologize to her when I get home this time. And I am really excited to see my other sibling I wonder if he or she looks anything like me.

The car pulls into a parking lot and I can see the fairies wheel and lights of the carnival from here. We get out of the car. Ruth grabs my hand warmly and starts to lead me toward the carnival but Erwin is a bit ahead of him he puts his hand over his man’s hips and guides him toward the entrance of the carnival. The both alpha occasionally exchange glares as if they are competing against each other on who is more romantic and caring here.

It almost makes me laugh. Leo is seeing the same thing and shaking his head hopelessly. Leo and Erwin are going through a lot these days. A few days ago Leo miscarried then Erwin got into an accident now another scandal about Erwin’s past... It’s almost like the misfortune and struggle refuses to let them go from its clutches. Still, it’s very nice to see them together. Smiling for each other, looking at each other with endless love... It’s heartwarming to see them together.

However, the moment we step into the horror house, I know that this night is going to be long. Very long...
