"Mhm…" Alex\'s eyelids fluttered as he lay on his bed. He was beginning to wake up.
Alex was having a long dream, but then started hearing some strange noises and was now in a half-awake state.
It took him a few minutes, but once he opened his eyes, he experienced a shock that scared his living daylights.
In front of his eyes was a hovering blue screen. Anywhere he turned, he could see the screen.
Being in a sleepy state, it shocked him initially, but after a few minutes when he woke up fully and was energized, Alex calmed down and thought of things rationally.
\'I wasn\'t dreaming…\'
Alex realized the encounter with the woman called Melissa wasn\'t a dream. This thing here in front of his eyes was a living proof.
\'Then this means…\'
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Alex! Alex! Alex! Open the door!" Alex heard his mother\'s panic-stricken yell.
"Ugh…" Alex felt a headache coming his way.
The stuff he experienced was real, that wasn\'t a dream. This meant that he was in for some drama now and had a lot of explaining to do.
"Alexxxxxx!"
Alex wasn\'t given much time to think as his mother constantly hit the door and yelled.
"Coming!" Alex yelled back and rushed to get the door. He knew his mother wouldn\'t stop until she saw his face.
As Alex opened the door, he had a small glimpse of a black-haired lady in her early 40s before getting his hand held by her and pulled straight downstairs.
"Come with me! You have a lot to explain!" Alex\'s mother said as she rushed to the living room hurriedly.
"Calm down, mom." Alex tried, but nothing worked on his mother and she continued to rush.
Once the two reached the living room, not just Alex\'s mother… even Alex got a big shock looking at the guest sitting on the couch.
The guest in question, a beautiful silver-haired lady, noticed Alex and his mother arrive. Looking at them, she flashed a big smile and waved her hand.
"Hello~" She said in her sweet cheerful voice.
\'Oh no…\' Alex\'s fears came true as he saw Melissa sitting on the couch of his living room. He facepalmed and knew that he indeed had a lot of explaining to do.
Alex\'s mother, looking at Melissa sweetly wave at them, waved back and said in a gentle voice, "hiii~"
She then pulled Alex\'s hand and dragging him to the couch opposite of Melissa\'s, sat down with him and said in a calm tone, as if she wasn\'t panicking her soul out a second ago,
"Melissa… you wanted to meet Alex, right? Here he is."
She then turned to Alex and said with a smile, "Alex, Melissa here wanted to see you for so long… where are your manners? You didn\'t even greet her yet."
Alex heaved a deep sigh.
Alex\'s mother noticed this and was about to tell him it was rude, but soon everyone heard approaching footsteps and diverted their attention there.
"Haha, Janet, cut our boy some slack. He\'s never had any interaction with a female in his life… he can\'t just do it out of thin air." A six feet tall man with a muscular build said happily, walking towards the three while holding a can of beer.
Janet, Alex\'s mother, looking at her husband walk to the living room while having alcohol, frowned and said, "Josh, you have exactly three seconds to dispose off that beer before coming here."
Josh, Alex\'s father, who was in a happy mood, suddenly tensed up. He looked at the can in his hand and gasped. "Oh, shoot. I forgot about this."
Josh immediately ran away to dispose the can while Janet made an apologetic smile and said to Melissa,
"Sorry darling, you had to see all of this."
Melissa shook her hand and said, "it\'s fine, it\'s fine."
"Gosh, you\'re such a sweet girl." Janet was starting to fall head over heels for Melissa, given how well mannered she was.
"Eh? I am a sweet girl? Since when?" Alex\'s father walked into the room again, hearing his name being called.
"Argh." Janet\'s happy face turned into an annoyed one. She looked at Josh and said, "I said gosh, not Josh. And Josh, it has been so many years since we\'ve been married, how long are you going to mix these words?"
"Oh, gosh. Hahaha! My apologies." Josh scratched his head and said.
As Janet, Josh, and Melissa conversed together, Alexander suffered heavily from their room temperature IQ talks. He felt physical pain from their verbal talks and just wanted to get out of here.
Janet, being Alex\'s mother, could see he wanted to get out of here. She put her hand on his and said in a soft voice, "oh honey, you don\'t have to be afraid of anything. Melissa here is a sweet girl, she won\'t harm you. You can talk to her without being afraid."
A vein popped on Alex\'s forehead as his mother kept misunderstanding him. She was thinking he was afraid of talking to girls and wanted to get out, when the reality was far from it.
But he toned his annoyance as this was his mother speaking to him and asked the first question calmly, "Mom, why have you brought a stranger into the house?"
"Hehe… guess?" Janet laughed playfully. She was expecting such a question from Alex.
Alex rubbed his temples instead of answering. He then turned to his father and was about to ask a question, only to see he was smiling brightly and was very eager to answer any question Alex might ask him.
Alex dropped the plans to question him for the over enthusiasm he was showing and turned to Melissa.
"Why are you here?" He asked.
Melissa smiled and answered, "What do you mean why? You\'re here, so I am here."
"Oh… my… god…" Janet couldn\'t believe what she was hearing.
Her eyes started turning moist and turning to Josh, she asked, "honey, did you hear that? Did she really say something cheesy or were it just my ears ringing?"
Josh smiled and nodded happily. He wiped a tear away from his eyes and said, "she did, she did. Our boy, Janet… he\'s finally… sniff… he\'s finally got himself a girl!"
"Oh my…" Janet started crying from the overdose of happiness she was feeling.
Josh hugged her and the two sobbed together, knowing their child finally got together with the love of his life!
This may seem as an exaggeration, but Alex\'s parents had lost all hopes in him ever scoring a girl and giving them grand children, given how he showed no interest in any girls.
At one point, they were confused and thought if their child was gay or something, only to realize he wasn\'t interested in men either.
Not just men or women, he wasn\'t interested in anyone and only had a few male friends whom he talked to.
Josh and Janet had been concerned over his love life for ages, but at last, after such a long wait, their son proved them wrong and brought home a girl!
Well, the girl walked to his home herself but that didn\'t stop Josh and Janet from celebrating this amazing feat of their child.
Alex was really done looking at his parents overreact to everything. But he could only let out a sigh and let things be.
Melissa, watching how her husband\'s parents were reacting, smiled internally and thought, \'I just introduced myself and they are already this happy. What if they come to know that he\'s my husband and we\'re already married? Also, what would happen if…\'
Melissa\'s thoughts were taking a turn in the wrong direction, but she was loving every moment of it.
Soon, something clicked her and smiling, she got up and quickly made her way towards Alex.
"Husband~" Melissa called out sweetly and jumped on Alex.
Being caught off guard and not having proper reflexes, Alex wasn\'t able to dodge Melissa.
With her inhumane strength, Melissa immediately caught Alex in her arms and…
Smooooch!~
"OH. MY. GOD." Those were the last words of Janet before she passed out.
As for Josh, he was even weaker than his wife and had already passed out from an overdose of happiness when he saw Melissa hug Alex.
Taking full advantage of her husband\'s current weak body, Melissa continued to kiss Alex and a temporary silence ensued in the otherwise chaotic room.
