Grandma answered the call and her face popped up on my screen.
“Hi, Grandma!” I said and waved.
“What the fuck is happening?” Chastity mouthed silently.
I ignored her.
“Who is that?” Grandma lifted her sunglasses and stared at me.
“It’s me. Ash.”
She stared at me like she had no idea who I was.
“I’m dating the gay one. Who is obviously not gay. Since he’s marrying me.”
“Oh. Are you the mick?”
“Yup, that’s me.”
She let her sunglasses fall back in place. “Thank you for saving my grandson. He was on the AIDS path if I’ve ever seen it.”
Okay.“That’s actually why I’m calling.”
“Oh no. You saw him getting it in the bum hole?”
“No, Grandma.” I laughed. “Stop it.”
“Oh, was the boy pitching? I never saw him as a top. I guess that’s a little more manly...”
“Grandma, please. Mr. Frost isn’t gay. I just...” my voice trailed off. “He isn’t gay. Anywho, I just wanted you to know that we moved the wedding up. To next month. Make sure to save the date – Saturday, January 13th.”
“Did the gay one knock you up?”
I shook my head. “Nope. We’re waiting until marriage.”
She sighed. “So heisgay?”
“No.”
She shrugged. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you that he does homo things.”
“We’re very happy. Anyway, gotta go. Save the date.”
“Wait. I’m busy until the end of March.”
Damn it, Grandma!“Fine.” I scanned my calendar. “How about the last Saturday of March then? The 30th?”
“If you’re sure you want to marry a gay.”
“Yup. Love you. Bye.”
Grandma stared into the screen. “Did the mick just say she loved me?”
I hung up on her and turned to Chastity. “See?”
“What exactly am I seeing? That Mr. Frost’s grandmother is a raging homophobic who also hates Irish people for some reason?”
Well, yeah. I guess she’d seen that. “I mean that this whole thing is real and how in love with Mr. Frost I am. I mean Xander. It’s so hard to remember to call him that because he prefers Mr. Frost in the bedroom.”
