After few days gulf headed upstate to the Suppasit country club. He seat in the backseat with the kids, trying not to notice how distract mew is in the front seat with Sofia. "Gulf, do you think they'll have fish egg at the club again?"
"Yeah, last time we did this experiment --"
"Uh, let's not do any experiment,okay? It's an important day for your dad."
"But it's just grandpa and grandma.."
Gulf try to focus on Manson and Mickey, but mew's whispered conversation with Sofia drifts back to him. "You know how my parents feel about tabloids. They're not going to be happy that out engagement leaked like that."
"I don't get what the big deal is. It's not like they didn't want us to get married." Gulf glance over at the boys, who are busy pointing out the window as he turn off the highway.
"Just because they're being polite doesn't mean they aren't pissed too." Gulf casually edge forward so he can hear better. "You don't know my parents like I do. Image is all that matters to them."
"I can't imagine a more perfect image than two people from impeccable family coming together, can you?"
"No one is above reproach. Our engagement was announced via tabloid. I can't say it enough."
"But Tew's ex-girlfriend can crash New year's, grab the mic and tell him off in front of the entire club?"
"They've always held me to a different standard than Tew. You know that."
"Well, it sounds to me like you're overreacting." The conversation comes to a stop as mew pulls the car into the country club. The boys immediately jump from the car with glee. "The shrimp cocktail are all mine!"
"They can be your consolation prize after losing that thumb war so bad."
"Mickey, no running." Gulf roll eyes as Mason keeps sprinting for the front door. He start to follow...but pause when he notice mew lingering by the car. "Are you coming. Mew?"
"You can go ahead. I need some fresh air, I think."
Mew waves and sets off around the corner. Gulf glance at the front, where Sofia herds the boys inside. He check one last time to make sure Mason and Mickey are okay with Sofia, then slip off to hunt down mew. He finally saw mew in the garden...but he's so lost in thought that he doesn't hear gulf walking up. "Mew, everything alright?"
"Gulf? Ofcourse. Everything's fine."
"Oh yeah, that was really convincing."
Mew smile sheepishly as he make room for gulf on the bench.
"That obvious, huh?"
"To me, yeah. I mean your parents have been gone for months, and a lot has changed. It can't be easy to have to face them after everything..." Mew shakes his head almost in disbelief, before turning to look out over the water.
"I'll never understand how you can know me so well after such a short time."
"Well.... you're a hard person to ignore. And I usually get what I want."
"Do you now? Must be nice.."
"So...are you going to tell me more? Or do I have to keep guessing?"
"As amusing as that would be..." Mew trails off, sighing softly. "Honestly, I want to talk to you, but I probably shouldn't..."
"Says who?"
"Polite society?" Gulf look around, waving your hands exaggeratedly.
"I don't see any 'polite society' here, do you?"
"Gulf..."
"Here, let me help you relax."  Gulf move to stand behind mew and rub against his muscles with his thumbs. "Oh my god... That's feels amazing."
Gulf continue to massage mew letting his moans guide gulf, he feel him melt against his touch as gulf fingers work wonders. "You can tell me anything, mew. I'm not going to judge. I'm not going to tell. I'm just going to listen."
"I think that's exactly what I need...Sofia been badgering me about my mood all morning, but she just seem annoyed I'm not acting right."
"Her style of 'comforting' doesn't exactly make her easy to open up to."
"That's an understatement."
"From what I hear in car, it sounds like you think your parents are going to be mad about the engagement?"
"Among other things."
"Don't tell me they.... don't approve of Sofia. I thought they basically handpicked her for you?"
"They did...when we were younger. I think they figured the time for us to be together was long gone when I married the boy's mom. Even after she passed, I never really saw Sofia that way... I don't think she saw me that way either."
"Then why...."
"It's not really about me and Sofia anyway. I mean, I'd definitely hope that my parents will be in a good mood because of the news but...."
Mew Swing his eyes back two gulf as he moved to Sit beside mew again.
"  I think I'm more nervous about them meeting you than anything else."
"Me?"
"I can't explain why it means so much to me that they like you.... But it does."
The enormity of mew's confession settles over gulf.
"Oh."
"Excatly. oh.."
"Are you that certain that day won't like me?"
"I honestly don't know. They could go either way, and that's what worries me. I can't make a plan without more data. I hope they see what I see...."
"And what's that?"
"All strong, beautiful man with an incredible mind... Not to mention great with kids. " Mew reach out to cup gulf cheeks, and he lean into his touch.
"Well, lucky for you, I'm incredible Loveable too. You've got nothing to worry about."
"You have worked over almost everyone in your path so far."
"If it's important to you that your parents like me, I'll win them over too. Mew, everything will work  out. As long as we've got each other's back, we'll be good."
"You know you're optimism is infectious."  Mew stands and offers gulf a hand. "Thanks Gulf. You always know what to say." Mew helps gulf to his feet, then he step forward to wrap his arms around mew.
"Im always happy to help." Mew arms slips around holding gulf against him. Gulf eyelids flutter closed as he savor his nearness, his warmth.
"I don't know what I do without you, Gulf."  Mew's words whispered, so quiet that gulf not even sure if he heard them. Gulf was not sure how long gulf've been wrapped up in mew's embrace when a bird flutters through the tree above, the noise breaking the trance. "We should probably head in." Gulf pull away reluctantly, remembering where they are. "Feeling better?"
"Actually yeah, like I can take on the whole Suppasit clan at once."
"Then my work here is done." As they returned mew leads gulf through the country club and up to the exclusive rooftop garden.
"There's Gulf!"
"He's the best, Grandpa. You'll see." Gulf cross the rooftop to join the boys. They're standing with a stately man and women on Sofia hovers close behind. "Mom. Dad, this is Gulf Kanawat. Gulf , these are my parents chrish and Vivan."
"It's nice to officially meet you." Mrs suppasit said while hugging.
"Hmm. Hello."
"Gulf is such a blessing to have around the house. Really alleviates the. Pressure to have built-in childcare."
"She's lot more than that. We've come to think of him as family."
"Such high praise from our eldest son."
"Sounds like you can finally focus on what really matters... Like the nightingale ngel update. Just because the llithyia  project is going well it doesn't mean we can rest on our laurels." Mew turns to gulf to explain but Mr suppasit cut off  "oh, We don't need to bore with the details. I'm sure gulf is particular doesn't care about this stuff."
"Actually, I just got my masters in chemistry, so I find all of this 'stuff' interesting. Nightingale ask cause your stock to soar, yeah?"
"That's right it's been huge success. I'm impressed you know our product line and where we stand in the market."
"Well, Suppasit Enterprises is signing my paycheck, albeit in a roundabout way."
"Touche."
"Enough shop talk. Gulf I love your dress. We were just in Italy, and you're off with looks like it could've come directly from the wrong way of Milan."
"Thanks! I thought it'd be perfect for such a special occasion."
"Oh, yes. Today is a special occasion, since vivan and I weren't able to attend mew and Sofia's engagement party in person."
"Dear, I thought we agreed not to mention that.."
"As I said before, we thought it  best to move the date up after the tabloids leaked the news. And you gold year if you hadn't extend your business trip a third time."
"It sounds like..the tabloids are really to blame. They can be search vulture. No respect for privacy."
"You're exactly right. This engagement was a dream come true and they ruined it. Who look Sofia your father and brother just arrived."
"Everyone, please remember not to mention a mother. I can't handle another outbrust like last time."
"What happened last time?"
