A PlayBoy's Bet

Families

Families.

Gulf had spent the night at Mew's place. They had little talk about the work. Gulf felt happy when Phi Em supported him to launch Thanya. It was better to start her career with those she was comfortable most. Gulf had got so many proposals from different companies to join them, better offer, better salaries. But he politely refused. He didnt want any raise in his salary than he was getting from here. And it was all savings, because he would get lunch and dinner with Mew and Evan. And Mew would only let him pay when he had to buy for Evan.

Mew was happy. He liked every bit of attention from Gulf. He would smile often when Gulf would try to flirt with him. With flowers. His favorite Americano. Chocochip cookies. Big popcorn bowl only for Mew whenever they would go watching movies, as Mew would be fighting with Evan not to share popcorns with him. Evan would complaint to him and on the other side Mew would pout showing big puppy eyes and Gulf would just laugh.

As per promise, Gulf brought his mother and sister to meet Mew's family and he was surprised to see that his mother instantly fell in love with Mew and Evan. Gulf had told his family about Evan being his child, but forbade to mention anything in front of his mother.

Gulf's sister was kind of hesitant considering the guilt Gulf's mother and sister felt. But no one mentioned a single word about the past. They wanted a clean start so why not. Besides they were hooked with the little birdie named Evan. Apparently Gulf had told Mew's mother that he has processed for Evan's adoption as he wanted him as his own child and she was more than happy. She had given them her blessings to get married the way they wanted to live together.

"Guys. Any mood for Beech weekend? Evan and Eva have holidays. And we can coordinate with our schedules for 3 days"? Gulf suggested at dinner and they all fell silent for a while. Not in disagree but to check their schedule and they all confirmed to leave on Friday noon and back on Sunday.

Instead of using separate vehicles, Gulf arrange a mini van to accommodate everyone easily and comfortably. They agreed that Gulf would pick Mew and his family on Friday noon at their place and they would head to the beach where he had booked shared cottages that were joined by a door from inside.

He was planning for a little surprise for Mew too.

Evan was most excited. He had been to beaches with Dada and Daddy and family. But this time he was far more happy to go with Dada and his Dad. He was all happy even in the kindergarten announcing everyone that they were going to the beach.

He took bath quickly without making a mess for Mew. He was waiting for Gulf impatiently in a white sleeveless Tee, a floral button down and floral shorts, matched with sandals, glasses and hat.

Gulf couldnt hold himself to click thousands of pictures as soon as he approached them.

"He is a born Photogenic". He laughed hanging his camera back in his neck, everyone was laughing looking at Evan walking like a runway model. 

**********

The journey was entertaining for everyone. Atleast it wasnt long tiring. Just 3 hours. They didnt stop anywhere because Gulf had requested his friend Boat, who owned the resort, to prepare dinner for them. So it was just singing laughing mocking teasing and lots of pictures. Not to mention the candid shots of Mew. He couldnt get enough of clicking his pictures.

The smiling Mew. The laughing Mew. Singing Mew. Sulking Mew. Stuffing his cheeks with chips. The squeeshy Mew.

They all reached by the time dinner was almost served. All they needed time to freshen up and dig in. It was a little festival going on at the beach. Lots of people were crowded it was good Gulf did the booking beforehand or else they would have to sleep on sand under open sky.
