Ravi's POV
"I'm gonna do it ; I have to, this might be my only chance before I leave."
I know you might be wondering what's happening right now well I am coming out to my parents and trust me this is the hardest part about being gay.
There is a probability that you might lose your parents' love but you just have to risk it so here goes.
"Mum dad I'm gay." I said with my eyes closed, please let them still love me.
"Ha!I said, ``You, my dear, owe me 500 dollars." my dad said as if I didn't just drop a fucking bomb.
Wait what?..... What is happening right now?
"No, I am not your dick head. ``Mom said.
"Really hon you wanna do this right now. "
"What!.... I'm not going to pay you anything and all I am saying is that I'm not paying you 500 dollars." she literally just said the same thing.
"Yes, you are because you refuse to accept the fact that Ravi is gay."
That statement had me frozen on the spot... Fuck, what was I even thinking telling my parents that I am gay; my mum might not even accept me and fuck me if that thought didn't bring tears to my eyes.
"Shut it Victor now you made him cry."
"What? how?.... I didn't even do anything."
"Well that is the point, you did nothing when he just came out dick head, you started to ask for your money."
"Well that means we are both at fault here because we both did nothing."
"Well that is true ; I guess you are right."
"Seriously mum, you guys are arguing when I am practically crying my eyes out." I said with a hint of frustration in my voice because my parents can be frustrating at times..... Wait I take that back, they are frustrating all the time.
"Oh sweetie, we are so sorry." mum said.
"No, we are not...well I mean if you are, i'm not ; just establishing that fact." Well there goes my life, my father hates me,"I am not because I just won 500 dollars baby."
"Really dad, you are not sorry because you just won 500 dollars to your already large bank account... really?"
"Well son it never hurts to have extra cash in hand i tell ya. "
"Wait what are you guys even talking about?... How did you win 500 dollars and what do you mean by mom guessing wrong?"
"Well you see honey...Your dad and I made a bet."
"About. " I said with a smile.
"Well son before I tell you let me get you in on one important piece of information... Your mum made me do it? " He claimed.
"Hey jerk ass, you don't get to put all the blame on me." Seriously, can these big babies not be babies for once because it is getting on my nerves.
"Mom, dad can you guys please stop your banderings and just tell me about the bet ok please. "
"Alright Alright son; you see your mum and I made a bet on your sexuality."
"Really?... Are you guys SERIOUS right now? " I am starting to get angry right now....... No wait, being angry doesn't discrib what I am feeling right now, I am fucking livid.
"Yeah we are sweetie."
"Yeah you see son, I bet that you are gay which I was definitely ri-"
"Dad, don't you dare finish that sentence." I said because my mom was already growling at him.
"Yeah well if I can't finish my sentence tell your mum to stop growling at me; she should know she's not a wolf."
"Oh you are done for now Victor." My mum said, reaching out to grab my dad's shirt,"Mum no, let go of his shirt, let go, we are not animals. "
"Maybe she is." He muttered.
"Dad!"
"What!..... Look, she is already giving me the stink eye which is a typical example of what wolves do before they eat you." He says, "I am serious ok, ask Nat Geo Wild if you don't believe me."
"Well i am giving you the stink eye because you have a smelly face"
"Really wifey,that's all you got......... If it is, you need to work on your comebacks."
"Mum Dad please stop your arguing and just tell me about this stupid bet that is already giving me a headache."
"Ok fine; so as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by your mother's growling."
"Dad." I was warned.
"Ok ok fine so you see I bet that you are straight up gay while your MOTHER bet that you are bisexual like come on you are clearly a bottom." He said it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh my God!, are you serious right now dad; there is absolutely no need for you to talk about my position in my sex life."
"Come on son let's be real here, you have like no sex life."
So... that hurt, my own father just directly insulted my sex life, key word on DIRECTLY, "but son there is absolutely no need to get a boy, man or old man to have a sex life with because you are not allowed to date still you are 35, ok?"
I'm sorry but is he serious right now?, "dad two things are wrong with your statement.
1) no old men please and
2) I think I am old enough to know that I am ready to start dating, come on mum back me up here." I said hands akimbo waiting for my mum to back me up.
"I'm sorry hon but I am with your dad on this one; no dating till 35 ok?"
*gasps* betrayal mum betrayal,"You have got to be kidding me." I face palms, I just can't get through to these people sometimes.
"No hon we are not."
"You know what?... i'm can't even be with you guys tonight..... Oh just so you know I leave tomorrow, you guys can enjoy the rest of the vacation yourselves."
"Oh come on son we were just joking, nothing serious so there is absolutely no need to make harsh decisions, ok?"
"Oh come off it dad, I know you want me gone so you guys can have sex on all the surfaces in this house so don't act all missy missy with me Mr man."
"Uhmmm.... that's so not true I think, I don't know; not sure at this point." he casually shrugs.
"Victor!"
"What!... He asked for it ok so don't Viktor me."
"Even at that, he is just a child."
Oh come on, seriously this again ; I really don't know how I am going to convince my parents that I am way above the age of 5, "for Christ sake mum, I am well above the age of 5, I am 23 mum and I know that you know that so can you stop with the babying alright."
"Ha! never and I know for sure that you don't want me to stop. "
Uhmmm..... I guess she has a point but I am never gonna tell her that, "whatever guys I'm going to bed and I am still leaving tomorrow ok, already informed Adam to be ready to get me off this god damned resort."
"Come on son, we were just kidding; have a sense of humor."
"Oh I do have a sense of humor but you guys do nothing but joke around and have sex but I am really serious I have to go back, my business isn't going to run it's self you know. "
"But I thought you hired someone to take care of it?"
"I know mum but Shelly can't do everything for me."
"But isn't that why you hired her?"
"I know but look how about this, when you guys return I come over to visit you guys and stay for dinner; how about that?"
"Uhm, ok fine... You had better keep that promise son."
"I will, thanks mum, love you guys so much." I said already going upstairs to sleep.
"Love you too son." chorus my parents.
After I got ready for bed, I claimed into the said bed...with what I think is a bad feeling in my chest about my flight home.
Uhmmm...... Maybe I'm just over thinking I thought to myself as I drifted off to sleep.
