Chapter 502 - ACQUAINTANCE: PART III (1/2)
Jackson brought Cris to one of his condominium. He asked the man to take a shower first before they head out and eat.
Cris came out of the shower looking all fresh and wet. He only had a towel covering his lower part as he walked out to the living room.
”Here, I wasn't sure which one you'll like. I also got you a suit for tonight.”
”Thanks.”
Jackson observed Cris's body as he looked pitiful at the man, ”man, what happened. You've lost weight as well. Have you not been eating, dude, if you need money you know you can tell me.”
”Hmm, I've been sick lately, which is why I came back.”
”What? What kind of sickness? Dude, are you dying?”
”Can you not jinx me.”
”But seriously thought, what kind of illness do you have?”
Cris finished putting his clothes on before replying to the man. ”Dunno.”
”What do you mean, dunno? Have you not gone to the hospital to check?”
”You know if I'll do that, they'll know where I am.”
”Ah, you mean your dad.”
”Yeah…”
”Seriously though, it's been months yet you still haven't found your mom. I mean, what happened between him and your dad? You ask me to check what happened during the time you were in a coma, but seriously, your dad liked to clean everything.”
”Of course, he would… Which is why he and the old man are at war right now. This isn't the first time something like this happened anyways.”
Jackson stayed quiet as the topic was getting so heavy that the atmosphere between them suddenly turned gloomy.
”Anyways, let's go already. I'm sure you're hungry.”
”Can you at least let me dry my hair first.”
”Alright, hurry up. I have other things to do after this.”
”What?”
”I'm picking up your date.”
Cris sighs as he walked out of the room and back to the bathroom leaving Jackson all annoyed that the man ignored him.
”Hey, I'm serious. She's a goddess, a true beauty I tell you. Plus, she is my sister's best friend.”
”Jackson, what are you thinking. Is this why you asked your sister to invite me?”
”I mean, man, do you have to be that angry. I'm just helping my sister's best friend as well. To tell you the truth, you two almost have the same situation.”
Cris continued to ignore the man as she dried his hair. He was not interested in who this goddess may be. His heart already belongs to someone…
He turned the dry off for a moment and said, ”Have you forgotten, I'm not giving up on her.”
”Cris, come on man, you don't even know who this girl is if whether she exists. You don't know what she looks like nor her name. So, how do you know who she is?”
”I'll know once I found her, I almost did find her.”
”Wait, what? What do you mean, you almost…”
”I found someone who exactly looked like her, but, once I found out who she was, I knew right away it wasn't her.”
”Man, what a coincidence. I mean, who would have thought you'll find someone similar to her. Which means, she must really exist then. So, what does she look like, this similar girl.”
