My eyes widen and I totally forget about packing."......mew's engaged?!" I don't normally read trashy tabloids, but I can't help scanning through the article starting with the full page of photographs of his finances.
"Gulf are you okay?" Mild asked worried but "Mild. Engaged isn't married. I still have some time to work my magic."
"Ruthless.  You should confront him."
"Over what? This all but confirms nothing happened. Let's just focus on packing" I started aggressively wrapping fragile items in bubble paper, telling myself it's fine and I don't really care but deep down my heart say differently.

Later that morning i reached the Dalton residence and leads my way across the lobby and up to the penthouse. After reaching I took a deep breath and try to clear my head of the engagement drama as I started unpacking. I just picked up some of my clothes when I hear a knock mew peeks his head through the open door with a smile which make my cheeks to blushed in very red color of tomato.
"Mew!I didn't except to see until later!"
"Oh I came to see if you are settling in okay?"
"Yup! Everything's great!"
"I hate to this to you at the last minutes, but I was called in to handle on emergency at the office. Can you watch the boys today?"
"I hope it's nothing too serious..."
"Just a little PR nightmare to start the weekend. Nothing I can't handle."
"Oh. I can't find that your handling PR nightmare."
"Oh? Have you been picturing me a lot?" I try to ignore the blood rushing to my cheeks as vision of my dream come flooding back again. I take a deep breath and give mew a careful smile.
"Wouldn't you like to know? But I can definitely look after the boys today. Whatever you need."
" you're a lifesaver. Now I have some basic rules...No pillows fighting the master bedroom, No 'experiment' after dinner, No toaster tarts ever you'll thank me for that one. Oh and never take the subway Carter will drive you anywhere you need to go."
"Wow those rules are strict, I mean no toaster tarts? Those were like my favorite food when I was child and I turned out alright."
" Be that as it may....." just then a loud commotion breaks out in the kitchen! Me  and mew share a look before rushing off to investigate together. I enter the kitchen to find it covered in splatters of milk, cereal and soda.
" Oh boys..."
" We did the pop rocks experiment with soda a days ago and I said I thought milk might explode too!"
" But.....drop rocks don't actually explode in milk, do they?"
" We'll no we hold one bowl of milk and one bowl of soda....."
" And one with milk and cereal!"
" Right, because what's an experiment without a control?"
" No control? That sounds funny or excited." Me and mew lock eyes over the boys head and smile.
" Now boys, clean this up and get ready. I have a felling Mr kanawat has something special planned for you first day together."
" You're leaving? But it's weekend!"
" I know, but I have to take care of a work emergency I'm leaving you in very capable hands though, so be good okay?"
" We'll try....but that's all we can promise!"
The twins throw their arms around mew's waist " starting now!"
I step forward and put a hand on a mew's shoulder " I've got this. You can go now."
" Thanks, Gulf call if you need anything " I nod as mew leaves, then I turn back to the boys.
" I know you're bummed about your dad has to leave, but if you clean up fast enough we can ho to the coolest pave in the city......The planetarium!"
" Mickey, I've got the counter! You get the floor."

Later, Carter drop me and the boys off aoutside of the planetarium" thanks for driving us Carter. I'm not sure how long we are going to be..."
" It's no problem, Mr kanawat just called me when you're ready."
" I will....wait, Mickey no don't touch that!" I hurry after the twins steeling myself for a long afternoon. Over the next few hours, I lead the boys through the various exhibit doing my best to explain the science along way.
"I'm starving "
" I sta shed some Toaster Tarts in my pocket."
" Mickey! You know your dad doesn't let you eat those. Where'd you even get them?"
" It's secret. Beside he let's us eat them on special occasions! And isn't our first day together the most special-est occasions of all?" I hesitate but remembering all the time I ate Toaster Tarts as a kid." Fine but just this once!"
" Yes, sir!" The twin wolf down the whole Toaster Tarts grinning the whole time. A moment later my phone buzzes I smile as I see a text from mew and open it
Mew
How's it going? Are boys
Behaving for you?
    
                                                              Gulf
                              They're being perfect
                           angel.😇

Mew
Well now I know you're lying
How did they bribe you?
      
                                                            Gulf
                             Toaster  Tarts.  They are
                         are having a great time.No
                      need to worry about us

Mew
Thank you Gulf. That's puts
my mind at ease. See you at
home tonight.

I blush at the thought that I am going to see mew tonight." So boys, why don't we look at the Saturn exhibit next..." just then my phone vibrate in my pocket again. I see it was from mild telling some nonsense and even though my phone continue to buzz I put it away and  turn back to boys.
" I'm bored! This dumb museum is boring!" I think that tantrum is coming on. " You're right, Mickey. I think we've exhausted the planetarium pretty thoroughly."
" But...wait really."
" Sure. Beside it's late than I thought. Let's call Carter to take us home." I dial the driver but get no answer. I try again and again and again. I attempt to hail a taxi but the few pass by ignore us.
" Gulf, I'm getting cold."
" I know, Mason but Carter isn't answering and I can't get a cab and...Now my phone is dead too."
" Carter probably driving dad home right now. Why don't we just take subway? We haven't done that forever."
" We'll, your dad said we weren't really supposed to..." when the fifth taxi ignore again, I sigh take the boys hand, then start walking towards the nearest station. " Yeah! Sub-way!sub-way!"
Soon the three of us settled in seats and the rush of the subway car carrying us home lulls me into a quiet contentment. I hope when we get home mew doesn't catch us fresh off subway.
