"What good are we doing this weekend? And please don't tell me that you want to walk again with David because if you do I will be hostile to you huhah." Karin told me when the last class hour was over.
"It's not supposed to be so, I'm going with David" I said with a chuckle, "Sorry,"
"I told you not to say that" Karin told me.
"I know and I'm sorry, but we've made plans in advance for Saturday. He took a day off so we could go for a walk, "I smiled.
"I'm so stressed, I need a friend, I just want in a few days there's not a single guy involved, be it in a conversation," Karin replied.
"Wait, did you and your boyfriend fight again or what?" I asked him as we headed to my car.
"Yes, we fight a lot. Naomi, sometimes she likes to rule me, like she's my father." Karin frowned as we got into the car.
"Well, he's old enough to be your father ..," my god.
"Don't start Naomi, remember David is almost 40 years old and he can also be your father" Karin replied.
"Yes, but my dad is still eight years older than him so I don't see him that way" I said before returning to the conversation, "So, what are you and your boyfriend fighting about?"
"She's starting to be a man of self-control and I can't stand it anymore, you know I can't be regulated" Karin told me, "She always decides what I should eat, what should I wear, where should I go." He calls every half hour to check on me and find out where I am and it makes me a little uncomfortable. Personally, the act was like the act of a potentially abusive man."
"Maybe it's not a bad thing ..he doesn't try to control your life but he just checks on you and worries about you. He showed that kind of attitude, he only cared and wanted to know that you were okay" I told him.
"I thought that she felt insecure, with the age difference between us, I think he was worried because I was a much younger woman than him so he thought that I might just go after his money and one day just turn away from him, trick him and go along with others. Basically what I believe from his attitude, it was very annoying so I told him to stay away from me for some time and give me a little space to be free and that might have hurt his feelings."
"Sunday, I know sometimes you can be like that, but in cases like this you have to meet him. I mean yeah he's an older guy and you're young, smart beautiful, I'm sure he never thought he'd be so lucky to have someone like you in his life. So it's only natural that now that he's afraid of losing you, he's afraid that one day you might leave him, his actions might be as a result of that and I can't blame him for his insecurity, because he's human too." I said to her, "All you have to do is see if she'll stop acting like that to you or not, convince her, let her know that you really like her not because of her property, explain to her that if you like her because of how you feel about her, let her know that if it's really special in your life, she'll probably be conscious and normal again."
"I can't believe you could give me such advice," Karin chuckled, "It's usually the opposite."
"Yes but sometimes I can give good advice too" I laughed.
"So, is that what you did to David? Convince her?" Karin asked.
"Yes, I made sure he knew I was with him because I didn't like him because of what he could give me. David knows that I really like him, I leave no room for doubt because as you said sometimes older men can be a little unsure and insecure when dating younger women" I replied "He might be labeled a Sugar Daddy by people out there if people see our distant relationship as age-different, but that doesn't mean I want to be seen or stamped as a materialistic woman."
"ohh I was touched," said Karin with a hand on her chest that pretended to be touched by my babbling which made us both start laughing.
"I thought maybe I should call my girlfriend and apologize to her."
"Yes you must do it," I agree, "And while you do it, make sure she knows that you hate all of her bossy and controlling nature. If he really wants to keep you by his side, I guarantee he'll fight with himself not to show that kind of attitude."
"You know I'm going to do it" Karin replied, "So, just talk about me. Now, when are you gonna introduce David to your parents? You've known each other for more than four months and your relationship is now official and your parents are curious to meet the mysterious man, especially your mother. He even bought you a car for your birthday that made them more curious and you still didn't bring it to your house."
"Have you told your parents about your boyfriend or introduced him to them?" I turned the question to him.
"Uh well, not yet, but it's different with you ..." He tried to tell me the reason but I cut him off.
"No, no, no, no different. Why not?"
"I don't know, I don't know how to do it yet. You see my parents have a thought that is still old-fashioned and strange" he replied. "I still don't know what they think about dealing with people of different races and the fact that my boyfriend isn't Asian, but an outsider who's my mother's age. I know how they'll think. But in the end I have to tell them maybe not now. My boyfriend also doesn't mind because I still haven't met him too much either in terms of his family side except for his nephew and brother. But you're Naomi, your parents are friendlier and more tolerant than I am, they'll like David, no way not."
"Well that's right," I smiled at her comment about David, "Maybe I should try to muster up my courage and do it tomorrow. For the same reason as you why I haven't introduced them yet, because I don't want them to look at me strangely just because David is so much older than me."
"You don't think they suspect him?" Karin asked, "I mean, how many young people our age still can't afford to buy their partner - a car?"
"I've thought about it but my parents have never said anything or asked me, so I never said anything either" I told him, "You know it's weird, you know, we're adults, but we're still afraid of what our parents are gonna do."
"That's because we're still kids who've just become adults," Karin laughed, "That's still scared of sleeping with an older man."
"If that was the only reason I would be beaten, I wouldn't have done it because David and I still haven't reached that stage" I told him.
"Talk to yourself, I don't have a strong will to survive like you," Karin said to me.
"You and your boyfriend have been together for a long time, so there's nothing wrong with that" I said to him, "Now I'm finally going to introduce David to my parents, and you should too. "
*Keep knock sound*
"Get in" I heard David answering behind his study.
I hadn't seen him in a few days and decided to stop by his office and surprise him. I've been waiting for 20 minutes but there are still two patients waiting to be examined by him. So, as soon as they were treated, I asked the nurse/receptionist to go see him and tell him I was coming.
"Hey Dr. David," I said hello as I opened the door and entered the room.
"How are you, Naomi. What are you doing here? I thought you were my next patient" David laughed in surprise as he looked up and saw that it was me.
"I'm your next patient. Actually I'm your last patient for now," I smiled as I walked up to him, "No one else is waiting right now."
"Hi, honey," David grinned as I gave him a kiss and sat down on the chair across from his desk, "What's wrong?"
"I just got home from college and felt like stopping by and surprising you," I told her, "It's a shame I've never been to your clinic before. By the way, your clinic is pretty good."
"Thank you," David chuckled, "And this is really a surprise, I'm glad you stopped by. I've really missed you for a few days."
"I miss you too. I don't want to wait until Saturday to see you" I told him.
"Me too," David smiled before taking one of my hands in his hand, "You're far away from me and then come here."
"Where? I'm not far away, I'm right across from you" I laughed then I stood up.
"And it's like a hundred miles to me. Let's sit here" David replied pulling me into his lap, "Now this is better."
"I don't think you're a professional doctor" I flirted with my arm around his neck and then I sat sideways on his lap, "This is how you treat every patient?"
"No, I'm just doing this to my very special patient" David smiled before claiming my lips.
I used my other hand to hold her head as our lips moved together. I couldn't hold my fingers through the back of her hair as we made out, her hair was so soft and silky and felt amazing between my fingers.
"I think it's the best treatment I've given you all day" I chuckled and we pulled each other out.
"I also thought so," I smiled before pecking her lips once more, "So, you'll pick me up tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, right," David replied as he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Great, how did you feel when you met my parents?"
"Tomorrow nights? Wait, are you sure?" Ask David.
"Yes, I'm sure," I nodded, "I think it's time, they're also very curious as to who you are. What are you saying, are you okay with that?"
"Naomi, are you asking me if I'm okay with meeting your parents? Are you okay when I meet them?"
"David, I'm not gonna ask you if I don't agree with that or not."
"Are they going to frown and give me trouble later?" Ask David.
"Why would they?" I asked her to play with the hair on her nape.
"Because I'm nineteen years older than you and probably closer to their age than yours" David replied.
"Is that so?"
"So, I say that because most parents tend not to like the thought of their daughters dating older men."
"Well, they have to deal with it. I'm an adult, I can date anyone I want. Just so they won't pull out a knife for you," I chuckled.
"Now I really feel very confident to meet them," David replied sarcastically making me laugh, "They're going to chop off my head, aren't they?"
"Don't be silly, they'll like you. David, everything's gonna be okay."
