Chapter 104 - Family Day

"Mommy, are we still going to the fair?" asked Adriel as I was giving her and Adrian a bath.

"A fair? Yay fair! Fair!" yelled Adrian, splashing the water and giggling out of excitement.

"Umm I don't know. Mommy has to work" I said as I unplugged the drain letting the water loose as I wrapped them in their robes.

"But mommy you promised" whined Adriel and I sighed not feeling like dealing with this right now.

"Look Adriel mommy has a lot of things to think about right now okay?"

She pouted as she sat on the bed as I prepared their outfits for the day, "okay, but will daddy come today?"

I froze at the mentioning of him for I didn't expect for her to actually want to see him, "uhh I don't know. Daddy has to work as well okay sweetie?"

"But can he come?" she asked still insisting.

"No he cant." I said as I held up two dresses for her to choose her favorite and so she did not dropping the subject.

"Why not? Can you call him?"

I undid her robe as and dried her off further with a towel as I answered her questions even though I knew that with her a question always lead to another, " no baby I cannot call him."

"Why not? Is your phone broken?"

"No, I just cant." I answered honestly, but she still needed more answers.

"Why not?" she pestered on and I exhaled closing my eyes trying my hardest not to yell.

"I do not have his phone number. Are you happy?"

"Why not?" she asked again and I sighed as I finished with dressing her then got to dressing her brother.

"Because mommy does not have daddy's number and that's just it. Adriel sometimes adults can be complicated and this is one of those times. Now go get your bag pack and get ready to go." I said with finality in my phone and she got the fine, sighing dramatically as she climbed off the bed and went for her bag pack.

"Mommy" said Adrian speaking after she left, "what is comaiplacated?"

I chuckled at his question and how cute he was while trying to say the word and I placed a kiss on his nose, "well Adrian complicated means that it is hard"

"Okay" he said feeling satisfied with my answer and got back to playing with his toy as I got him dressed.

That was the thing with these two.

They were identical, but most of their actions were different.

While Adriel was more verbal and could hold a conversation, Adrian would rather just play with his trucks all day even by him self.

I guess that's just because girls develop faster than boys.

Adrian was still very verbal, but he usual allows Adriel the ring leader to do most of the talking while he was more laid back and chill.

They did argue a lot though and would fight as siblings, but there were each other's bestfriends and would make up by hugging it out or by their love language of holding hands and sharing toys.

I got them buckled in their car seat and drove to their baby sitter's apartment, dropping them off after giving them kisses and telling them of how much I loved them.

Adriel did ask one more time about the fair and she even used her "give me what I want for you love me and want to make me happy face" so I told her that I would pick them up early and us and their dad would go the fair.

I didn't like breaking promises so I tried to contact Shiwoo on my way to work via Instagram, but when I searched for his account it was no longer there.

Strange.

Anyway I pulled into the outside parking lot of the building and entered through the front door greeting the workers as I passed by.

I walked up to the front desk lady, Sandra and she smiled greeting me as she was on the phone with someone when I interrupted.

She quickly wrapped up her phone call apologizing as she asked me if there was a problem, "I am so sorry Miss Carter for making you wait, but did I do something wrong?"

I chuckled at how nervous she was for it seemed to have eased her nerves, "no Sandra all is good, but I was wondering if you could call Mr. Kim and schedule a meeting with Shiwoo-I mean his son for right now."

She nodded her staring at me and I blinked a few times raising my eyebrows asking if she understood what I had just said, "oh you mean like now now?"

"Umm yes" I said shaking my head as I walked away heading towards the elevator greeting more people as I passed by.

I walked down the empty corridor to my office stopping by at Minjae's telling him good morning before leaving.

I had a lot to do today once more so I busied my self with work until Lia alerted me that Shiwoo was in the lobby.

I quickly ran to my bathroom and adjusted my lip gloss and mascara and straightened my dress as I ran back to my self masking my expressions as I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" I said sounding emotion less as he entered closing the door behind him.

"Hi" was all he said as he stood at the door with his hands at his side and his hair tousled and fluffy which I loved.

He must have just woken up for he was in casual wear, his grey sweats sitting dangerously low and his face was still a bit swollen which was very cute.

I decided to keep things professional for we were still not on good terms, "good morning Mr. Kim. Sorry to call you on such short notice, but I wanted to review something with you and I also wanted to ask you something. Please take a seat."

He took a seat in front of me, sitting lazily and my eyes dipped to his crotch where his dick  was printing.

I caught and checked myself trying to get rid of the dirty thoughts as I looked him in the eyes getting back on track.

"Sure what's the question?" he asked his face and voice void of any emotion.

"Oh, well umm the kids were wondering if you would like to go to the fair with us later on today." I said getting straight to the point and I saw his ears perked no doubt being surprised by their interest.

"Really?" he asked in disbelief and I nodded my head yes, "yes! Sure! Of course! What time?"

I smiled at his excitement feeling happy that he actually wanted to spend time with them, "how does three pm sound? I will leave work early to get the kids and probably change to mee you there. Sounds good?"

"I liked your dress though." I heard him say under his breath and my ears heated up, but I pretended not to hear him, "three pm is fine. Should I bring anything? What do they like? Oh I forgot to ask. When is their birthday?"

"No you will just need money. They both love toys so you can just win something for them, and their birthday is March the 1st." I said and he blinked a couple times with his eyes slightly widened.

"I'm sorry, but March 1st?" he asked and I slowly nodded confused, "woah."

I was genuinely confused and worried by his reaction and I started to feel nervous, "is something wrong?"

"No no. lt's just. It's just that I was a little taken aback since March 1st is also my birthday." he said and it was my time to have widened eyes and unset jaw.

"Really!? Woah. I never knew." I said genuinely shocked, but also happy.

"I know right" he chuckled sitting straight and leaning forward, "it's so cool to come back to learn that you have kids and that you all share the same birthday. I'm just really really happy right now."

I smiled seeing him happy for I had missed his smile which had grew on me. 

We stared at each other for a while before he broke contact leaving his place at the seat as he walked towards the door, "thank you for inviting me Miss Carter. I will see you soon."

I don't know why, but I felt a little disappointed that he was actually being formal with me and I felt like we were slipping farther.

I know that I had said a lot of harsh things yesterday, but I was hoping that he would have at least call me by my nick name.

Am I being hormonal?
