Mister Night - Chapter 180

“Come on Atalia we are late. You looked good then, and you look good now.” said Lia sighing and I shook my head no.

“Are you sure? Are you saying that when we chose this dress my arms were this big and my stomach was this saggy?”

“What!? No! I mean. Girl let’s go.” she said pulling me by the hand into the garden where Shiwoo and the photographer was waiting.

I don’t know why I was so nervous about him seeing me as if it were our wedding, even though we had a month left.

He smiled when he saw me, and I nervously smiled as took deep breaths with every slow step.

“Hey. I thought you stood me up.” he said when I got to him and I chuckled.

“I was thinking about it.”

His smile vanished at my words and h rose a brow, “huh?”

“Oh look. The photographer is ready.” I said changing the subject, and we listened keenly to what he was saying, and the photos came out so beautifully.

It looked like the cover of a K drama or some romance novel and I really loved them.

“Wow Mister Shin. These are so beautiful”

“Ah I try do my best.” he responded modestly and I smiled pulling him in for a hug.

“Are you ready to go?” asked Shiwoo after Mister Shin broke the hug waving goodbye to us, and I shook my head yes.

“Hell yeah! These shoes are killing.”

He chuckled as I took my shoes off and handed them to him as I bunched up the bottom of the dress lifting it off the floor.

“You guys were so amazing and beautiful!” said Lia as we approached her smiling.

“Thank you.” said Shiwoo nodding as he went to pull the car around.

“See I told you that you looked beautiful.”

“Thank you Unnie. I really needed that.”

“Aww” she said as she pulled me in for hug then we heard Shiwoo’s horn tooting.

“I gotta go. I’ll see you at work Monday okay.”

“Okay. Be safe.”

“We will, and you should too!” I yelled as I walked to where Shiwoo was waiting.

She drove all the way here to come and support us, and honestly I don’t know what I would have done without her.

She was proving to be the best matron of honor.

“Do you have everything?” asked Shiwoo fastening my seatbelt and I nodded, “okay good. Let’s go get the kids.”

We were off down the road to pick up the twins from preschool, and Ji Ah from her baby sitter’s

“Hello my precious baby. Have you been a good girl for aunty Yoon?” I cooed at Ji Ah as I took her into my arms and she giggled, “ah baby you’re getting so big huh? So heavy.”

We said goodbye to miss Yoon and strapped Aria in, so it was now time for the twins.

“Mommy mommy!” they screamed when they saw me, but froze when they saw my dressed for they were confused.

“Why are you wearing that?” asked Adriel and I chuckled.

“Well mommy and daddy just got back from a photoshoot, soo we didn’t have time to change.”

“Mommy I like your pretty dress.” said Adrian hugging my legs and I melted.

“Aww baby. Thank you. Now let’s go. Daddy and baby Aria is waiting in the car.”

“Yay baby sister!” they cheered as the ran to the car waiting for me to strap them in.

After a few more minutes of driving we arrived home, and it was up the steps like everyday.

We have gotten quite used to it, and I use it as an excuse to not exercise since this was more than enough.

Shiwoo carried Shiwoo up the stairs while I carried my dress.

The twins said that they were big and independent enough and didn’t want any help.

“Finally!” I said panting as we opened the door, “I’m going to go change and get dinner started. Kids go wash you hands and watch your sister. Shiwoo come help me with my dress.”

“Aye aye captain.” they said in unison and I chuckled at their shocked expression at how in sync they were, and Aria giggled and burped.

“Just pull the zip down, and then I can step out of it.” I said to Shiwoo as I felt him fidgeting with the material at the back of the dress not knowing where to start.

“A zipper? I don’t even see it under all these layers.”

“Of course it will have layers dummy. Its a ball gown shape. Just feel it at the back. The zipper is there somewhere.” I said with my palms flat on the bed as I lead over.

“I must say I quite like this position that we’re in. What do you say we practice for the honey moon now?”

“Pfft” I scoffed, “how about you practice taking off my dress since you’re so bad at it. If you cant take off my dress now. How will you at our wedding night?”

“Hmm. Touché.” he said as he still struggled, “I swear Atalia, are you even even sure that there even is a zip-oh wait never mind. I found it.”

He then slowly slid the zipper down, and with every inch that went down, it felt easier to breathe, “gahh! Finally! I can breathe again. Took you long enough.”

“Ok, but in all fairness, it was tiny as was the exact color of the dress.”

“Yeah yeah whatever old man. I think you need to get your eyes checked.” I teased.

“Atalia, you and I both know that there is nothing old about me. I can show you, but you already know all too well.”

The tension in the room has thickened, and I gulped as he took a step forward wrapping his hand around around my waist and I whispered, “I was joking.”

“Well this is what a joke gets you. Need I remind you of who I am, and what I’m capable of? Need I to put you across my lap and have you count every spank that you will receive? Need I remind you why the twins are here? Need I remind you of our first kiss? And need I remind you of our first time?” he said as he brought one arm up to gently tilt my head to side as he latched onto my skin sucking and nipping, and my eyes fluttered shut as I bit my lip as I my chest quickly rose and fell, and he kept a steady hold of waist, and I was glad for that, because my knees were quickly turning into cooked spaghetti.

He then pulled away smirking as he admired his work.

A big ass hickey on my neck, a puddle in my underwear.

He held me by the hand and spun me around smacking as ass as he gently shoved me to the closet, “go get changed. I’ll be waiting for you in the kitchen.”

“Yes daddy-I mean Shiwoo.”

“Don’t keep me waiting doll.” he said before slipping out the door, and I blinked a couple times dumbstruck.

What the fuck just happened?

It felt like when we were fighting our attraction for each other all those years ago.

I haven’t seen that side of him since, like forever.

Oh boy.

I feel like I’m falling all over again.

God help me.

Curse his boyish good looks, and player personality which has been resurrected.

Yes Atalia.

That is what joking gets you.

The fucking ghost of Shiwoo’s past.

I have to admit.

I kinda like it.

Okay you’ve got me.

I really like it.

God why am I blushing so much?

I hate it here.

“I want to see clean plates and all your veggies gone before you get to leave the table okay?”

“Okay mom.” said Adriel as ate her rice.

Ji Ah was sitting beside Shiwoo in her high chair as she ate her solids making a mess as usual.

For today we we were having a Jamaican styles dinner which consisted of white rice, curry chicken and yams, potatoes and carrots.

“This is quite delicious Tal.” said Shiwoo giving me a nod of approval after every bite.

“Thank you. I wanted to make stew peas, but that would take too long. Some other time.”

“Mhmm.” he nodded as he continued eating.

I smiled and ate as well glad that the liked one of my favorite foods from back home.

They all cleared their plates, and said their thank yous so they were permitted to leave the table to do their dishes.

It was now bath time at the Carter-Kim’s, and just like I promised Adrian all those months ago, Ji Ah had been taking baths with them ever since she was about seven months old, and she absolutely loves it.

She would giggle and splash around the whole time as they played rubber duckies and submarines.

Other than their bath time adventures she would sit and watch them as they played since she was not walking as yet.

She did a few climbing and standing ever so often, but she has a fear of walking, so we don’t push her, and are allowing her to mature at her own pace.

She was now eating solids like a big girl, and she ow has a head full of straight jet black hair.

Genetics is so amazing, for I had expected her to have at least one single strand of curly hair, but it was as straight as a pin.

I guess that that was good, for unlike he twins, she hated combing her hair, and since hers does not get easily tangly like theirs, I just leave her be to creep around looking like Einstein.

“Okay wrinkly enough now?” I asked them and they stopped their splashing looking at their hands shaking their head no, “okay, but only for five more minutes. I need to get you guys to bed.”

“Okay!” they said as they continued their splashing, and Aria screamed with joy as she splashed with them.

I was to see that the almost three year gap didn’t affect their relationship.

“Aren’t you guys clean enough yet?” asked Shiwoo as he came and leaned onto the door frame.

I shrugged, “they said that they aren’t wrinkly as yet, so I said five more minutes. I’m just waiting for it to end.”

“A woman of her words I see. Alright. I’ll go pick out the book.”

“Yay story! Story!” exclaimed Adrian.

“So I guess that you are ready to get out?” I asked and he nodded, “alright you know the drill.”

I handed them there robes  and towels and they got out of the bath tub drying themselves before putting on their robes and went to Adriel’s room.

I did the same for Aria and met them in the room where Shiwoo was applying lotion and baby oil to their bodies.

“Here is her diaper.” he said handing me Aria’s diaper, and I got her dressed.

I brushed her hair as she squirmed and protested before putting her to lay in between the twins as I sat side ways on Shiwoo’s lap as he began the story.

“Once upon a time…” he began and I got comfy anticipating every word as if I haven’t read, and heard the story of ‘The Princess and the Frog’ a million times before.

They quickly drifted off to sleepy land, and Shiwoo took Adrian to his room, as I took Ji Ah to hers making sure not to wake her.

We met out in the hall way and held my waist bring me into a hug, “we are okay parents aren’t we?”

“Hmm” I responded.

“Who would of thought? Well I have. I had been thinking of putting baby inside you ever since the day I met you.” he said and lifted my head from his chest.

“Really? You’re such a perv.”

“Ha ha. I guess I’m a go getter huh? I saw you, and I went and got you, and three beautiful kids out of it, and now I’m marrying you in two weeks. That much I didn’t thought.”

“Well I guess here we are in the hallway of our kids’ bedroom in each others arms after feeding and putting them to bed. I would have thought that. Thank you.”

“For what?” he asked confused.

“For coming back. For being a family with me. for being the best dad.”

“No thank you for taking me back, and for loving all of my flaws. I owe my life to you.  I really do. I love you Atalia. with all my heart.” he said and I melted

“I love you too Shiwoo. Now let’s go to bed. I’m really tired.”

“Okay.. Let’s go to sleep.”
