As for my apologies here the another update I love you guys
______________________________________

At some point during the drink distraction the boys managed to slip away into the crowd. I frantically scan the room for any sign of them.
"Don't worry, Gulf. I'm sure they're around here somewhere" I ignore Tay as I hurry to hunt them down in hotel kitchen.
"What're you two doing here? You had me worried sick"
"Sorry, Gulf. We just wanted to do an experiment" I take a deep breath to clam down and notice the balloons tied up behind them.
".....Dare! I ask?"
"We want to see how much icing flies onto Sofia when she cot into our prank balloons cake!" I try to maintain my stern expression as I picture it.
"Boys. This is Sofia's engagement. There are a ton of people here, and it's an important event for both her and your dad"
"We thought you hated her too!"
"You're always telling us to express how we really feel"
"With your words, Mason. Not with---a prank. It's about respecting your dad. You know how upset he'd be if he know what you were planning right now"
"But------" Mickey was cut off by his dad.
"What did they do now?" I turn to find mew standing in the doorway.  "Mew!"
"Sorry I keep sneaping up on you....and I'm sorry I let the boys get away from me like that..."
"But, Dad we were just....."
"I don't want to know. Boys, let's get Carter to take you home'
"Really? Score!"
"Gulf, are you still mad at us? Mickey and Mason asked in unison.
"It's impossible to saty mad at you both" the boys nod. "Come here" I wrap them both in a tight hugs and they lean into me. I look at mew and smile...but he has a contemplative expression on his face. Unsure what that means, I turn back at Mason and Mickey.
"It was fun, wasn't it boys? Mew I'll take them home right away, so you can enjoy the rest of your night"
"No, stay. You prevented the prank and it's beautiful night. You deserve to stay. I'll call Carter you should go enjoy the party"
"If you're sure...." I say goodnight to boys and head back out the ballroom. Guest we're wondering around aimlessly as I find Tay again in the crowd. Nearby, Sofia seems to be in an agreement on her call.
"What's going on out here?" Tay waves Mew over as he emerge from the kitchen
"Hey mew, I'm gonna strike up the band. Crowd's getting restless"
"Right. Sofia? Are you ready for our first dance?"
"That's no excuse to hold the meeting without me I'm not too busy....." She said to someone who was on phone in otherline "I'll be there in a minute, boo-bear! Why don't you start without me?" Mew turns to me and extend a hand eyes unreachable.
"May I have this dance, Gulf?"
"Um. Ofcourse......" With my heart pounding in my throat I take his hand and let him lead me to the dance floor. He holds me close, and I can almost forgot that this is his engagement with Sofia.....almost. I lean back a little so I can look at his face.
"This isn't so bad"
"Did you think dancing with me would be?"
"Not like that! It's just....we haven't been this close since....uh...since..." Since his hand we're on me in the back of the car, since he came up to my room to apologize and I hear him moan as I rubbed him down, since I found myself tangled in eachother arm's in the kitchen that night, weeks ago.
"Gulf.....maybe we should switch with different dance partner"
"But the song hasn't even changed yet"
"It's not about the song. You know what it's about" He presses his lips to my ear, lowering his voice to a husky whisper
"You know how hard it is for me to resist you?"
" Then stop resisting. It's just one dance we don't even have to talk" mew meets my eyes, his own stromy and intense. I wish I could tell what he was thinking. He swallows " I know that. I shouldn't but... Maybe feel glued to you. And no matter how close I am.." mew spins me out, holding toy hand."I want to get closer." He spins me back a little too hard and my body presses fluch against his. Mew leans in to whisper in my ear
"That's it where you're very, very wrong" mew shifts his hands downs to my hips and guides me back so my arms around his neck. Even though there are only inches between us, the extra space feels like a chasm.
"It's such a beautiful party mew. I hope you've having a good time"
"Probably not as such as I should be, all things considered "
"Oh, why do you that is." I gaze up at mew, tracing comforting circles on the back of his neck. I smirk before hitching my legs over mew's hips and he instinctively grips my leg to stabilize me. I press my bodie together as I arch backward. When I pop back up, breathless mew's eyes are riveted on me.
"You're driving me crazy, Gulf. I'm standing to wonder of that was my plan all along.."
"I definitely don't have my life together enough for any sort plan. I'm just going with the flow, doing whatever feels good." Mew groans quietly, his eyes fluttering closed for a moment when he opens them, there a now- familiar intensity staring back.
".....umm....you and Tay.. you're not..are you?"
"Me and Tay?"
"I see the way he looks at you....he's never settled down with one woman or man in his life. You could do so much better."
"I could do better? Do you have someone in mind?" His eyes seat into me as our bodies move together, forgetting the other partygoers completely.
"Someone like you, perhaps?"
"Gulf. You must know-----" suddenly someone taps on my shoulder I spin around.
"Gulf, we need to talk right now" without waiting for a response, Tay wraps an arm around my waist and sweeps me way from mew.
