『 Chapter 5 』

--------------------------Mew's POV-----------------------------

I almost  told him the truth when he asked me that question, I don't know where did that OCD came from but I guess he saw it like that, I was surprised to see that he was very understanding and didn't even make fun of me, instead, he even started cleaning around and keeping it neat around the apt, he would even clean and dry the bathtub after using it

"I'm going shopping and will walk the dog, do you need anything?" he asked while I was in my office some time after noon

"it's fine, I will go out later"

"just tell me, I can see that you are so busy with all the modification and reports you're making" he said pointing at the hundreds of papers around me

"can you buy me some cherry tomatoes and avocado and a pack of brown sugar, I will get you the money"

"you can pay me later, I'm going now"

"thank you" I watched him taking chopper and walking out then got back to work, it's been only 4 months since we started living together and we already can talk this much, I'm so surprised at myself for accepting his help and talking to him, this never happened before, I always ignored people, maybe because seeing him doing his best at work and taking care of the kids made me relax a bit

Talking about the children, the twins started calling me lately, like coming to my room and telling me "uncle Mew, breakfast is ready" each time one of them come to me, they also greet me and ask me a few questions about chopper, honestly, I didn't feel tensed or avoided them, I guess young children are an exception... During breakfast and dinner, Gulf would start random topic to talk about

"P' Mew, is there any close cinema around here?" he asked while eating

"cinema? I don't think so, I believe the closest one is 20 min away by car"

"too bad, there is an amazing movie that just came out and I wanted to go see it"

"uncle, I want to see movie!" Nin said

"me too!" Gulf smiled

"every time I take you two, I end up watching a cartoon movie at the cinema but I guess it can't be helped, let's go this Sunday, do you want to come too?" he asked

"you know that I can't, anyway, why don't you watch your movie meanwhile?" I asked wanting to change the topic about me

"I can't leave them alone in the cinema and my movie is a horror one, it's fine, I will wait until it is uploaded online, btw, speaking about movies what's your favorite?"

"mystery and action"

"that's an interesting choice, do you have any recommendation?"

"there is the new one called 'Enola Holmes' about Sherlock Holmes's sister (it exist and it's a great movie for those who like mysteries ^^)"

"that sound great, anything that has Holmes in it is already interesting, I will give it a try later" he looked excited, it's always like this, he drives me to speak, asking me all kind of questions yet he never asked me about my life, not about my childhood or family or even about my work, I'm sure he prepared all those topics beforehand to make me talk more, I'm grateful for him for doing this much but why?

"why are you helping me?" I asked one night after he put the kids to sleep, he came to ask a few things about the project and I took the chance to ask him

"because I want to, I don't know, I just want to help you and become good friends with you"

"just that?" he thought for a while then I noticed a small sorrowful weak smile appearing on his face as he glanced to me
