Pearl wondered why the kids wanted to see her when she visited them just this morning.
She planned on not going out for like three days till the news die now.
She put on her big hoodie, sunshade and nose mask to hide her face to avoid being seen by anyone.
Life as a celebrity is really ha-rder than she thought.
When she got to the Mansion, the security guard opened the gate for her because he already knew that she was the one.
When pearl entered, she saw Kyle in the living room operating on his phone.
Seeing Kyle again, she realized that she still feel something for him.
She cleared and he looked up.
She wondered why he was glaring ha-rd at her, were they not getting along in the morning?
“Ryan and Emma wants to see you, you know where their room is.”, he said and left to his room trying to control the anger building in him.
She looked at his vanishing figure preplexed.
“We are not opening this door, save your strength and call mom.”, Emma shouted when pearl knocked.
“It’s me.”, She said and they rushed to open the door Immediately.
“Mom you came!”, Emma squeaked happily hu-gging her, Ryan just stood behind her.
“Come here Ryan.”, She said and Ryan moved close to hu-g her.
“I missed you so much.”, She said removing her gl@$$es and nose mask.
“Did bad happen? Why did you ask to see me?”
“We want to go out with you and spend time with you and Dad before today ends.”, Ryan said.
“That’s nice but I’m sorry that I can’t really go out now, I promise that we will but I nee-d time.”, She said.
“I told you that they don’t care about us, dad doesn’t want to take us out and now it’s mom.”, Ryan said to Emma.
“I didn’t say I don’t want to go out with you, I just nee-d time.”, She said.
“It is the same thing, you see we just wanted to be that the other kids that go out with their parents.”, Emma said as tears filled her eyes.
“We just want to spend time with our parents, is that too much to ask?”, Ryan said as he was comforting his twin.
“Sorry we wasted your time here, you can go now. We will un-derstand.”, Ryan added.
“I’m sorry if I made you feel that way, you know what? Let’s just go and have fun.”, She said and they jumped up happily.
“We will go get dad.”, They said rushing and pearl just smiled.
After 5 minutes they came pulling Kyle who had a big frown on his face.
“Come on guys, this isn’t right. I am the parent here, I decide what I want.”, He complained frowning making pearl laugh.
“We are the children, we decide what dad should decide and you are coming with us, that is final.”, They said as they continued pulling him.
“Dad take your credit card, that is very important.”, They reminded.

Jayden and twinkle fell on the bed when they were done.
“How was it?”, Jayden asked twinkle who only smiled.
“It was great.”, She replied.
“Do you have a girlfriend?”, She asked as her heart started beating fast.
That was the first thing she would have asked before they had se-x.
If he says yes, she have no idea on how she would take it.
“Yes I have a girlfriend.”, He replied and it broke her heart into pieces.
“Hmm — I think I should leave now, I … I have work to do.”, She shuttered about to leave the bed but Jayden held her.
“Aren’t you going to ask who it is?”
“Excuse me? Are you trying to make me jealous? I don’t nee-d to know your girlfriend.”, She snapped.
“You are my girlfriend twinkle.”, He said and she froze.
“I am?”
He nodded.
“How?”
“What I meant was … Be my girlfriend.”, He said and she blus-hed.
“Really? Do you mean it?”, She asked to be sure she heard the correct thing.
“I won’t joke with that kind of thing twinkle, be my girlfriend.”, He said and she nodded.
“I will be your girlfriend.”, She said happily and he smiled.
“Come here.”, He said dragging her closer to himself and ki-ssed her.

“Okay so where are we going?”, He asked the kids when they were all greeted in the car.
The kids were at the back and pearl sat in front.
Seeing them together in a car alone made Ryan and Emma very happy.
“Let’s go shopping first.”, Emma suggested.
“Shopping? Didn’t we all go shopping last week?”, He complained.
“We went without mom.”, Ryan said glaring at his dad.
“Okay let’s just go shopping.”, He surrendered and started driving.
Ryan and Emma wouldn’t stop singing in the car… Actually screaming in the car and pearl joined them, Kyle just shook his head and blocked his eat with one hand while he was driving.
“Mom take a picture of the three of us.”, Emma suggested.
“And dad?”, Kyle frowned.
“He will be fine.”, Ryan replied and pearl took several pictures of them.
They got to the mall and Ryan and Emma tried all the clothes they wanted to buy, pearl was the one that was checking it out. Kyle was just on his phone.
It got to Pearl’s turn and Ryan snatched Kyle’s phone.
“What was that for?”, He growled.
“Check mom’s outfit! How is it?”, Ryan asked and he looked at pearl and he got lost in staring.
He didn’t know when his jaw dropped and he was drooling over her and Immediately Ryan took a picture of him, bringing him back.
“This is for the future.”, Ryan said smiling.
“How is it dad?”, Emma asked and pearl looked at Kyle waiting for his comment.
“It is too ti-ght.”, He said and pearl, Emma and Ryan frowned.
“Dad it is prefect, in fact it brou-ght out mom’s shape.”, Emma said using her hand to describe the shape.
“That is the point.”, He said and pearl went to change it.
“Too short.”, He said.
“Too expo-sing.”, He said for another.
“Too ti-ght.”
“Short.”
“Prefect.”, He said and pearl looked everyone looked disappointed.
It was nice tho but they prefer the ones he had refused and pearl looked at him like “seriously?”
When it was his turn, the children dragged him up to go and change.
The first one, pearl rejected it and he glared at her and he reluntanly went to change it.
“Do you have the blue of the shirt? I will prefer blue.”, She said to the attendant and the brou-ght blue and he tried it.
“It’s good.”, She complimented and the kids agreed.
“Mom has a good taste than dad.”, Emma pointed out and Ryan laughed.
“To the amusement park.”, Ryan said as they left the mall.
“We are going home, I have much work to do.”, Kyle said and they frowned.
“This is not fair dad, Emma suggested we come here and we came and I am suggesting my own and you are hesitating, I know your favourite child now.”, He said.
“Ryan seriously? Are you guys doing this on purpose? Okay let’s go to the amusement park.”, Kyle let out a breath and started the car.
“Having a family is lovely but I chose to be alone.”, Pearl said in her mind.
“Let’s get on the rollercoaster.”, Emma said and they all agreed.
“I’m afraid of height … I can’t …!”
“Dad please kindly us.”, they pleaded and he nodded his head reluntanly.
Pearl noticed how unstable he was when he got on the seat.
“You can just hold me if you want.”, She offered and he scoffed.
“Never.” He said filled with pride and the ride started immediately.
It was going slowly until it started to go fast.
Before Kyle knew what was happening, he was holding pearl ti-ghtly and he was screaming at the same time and the children couldn’t help but to laugh.
After that they did so many more. They tried the rotor, caro-use l, bumper cars and log rides.
They were already tired especially Kyle whose hand was just turning throu-ghout the ride. He almost vomitted and fainted.
“Let’s buy some ice cream dad.”, Emma suggested and they went to the man selling it.
He bought vanilla flavour for the children and bought strawberry for pearl and the children stared at him in confusion.
“Why did you buy her strawberry flavour and gave us something different?”, They asked.
“My favorite is strawberry.”, She replied and they smiled but Kyle just looked away embarr@$$ed.
“Aren’t you going to buy also?”, Pearl asked him but he just ignored her and she hit her lower li-p.
“Let’s do the ballin dart challenge.”, Ryan said as he rushed to where it is.
“Mom can you win the teddy bear for us?”, They asked her and she shrugged.
“I am not that good with this.”, She admitted and they turned to Kyle.
“Not me again please.”, He pleaded but they for-ced him.
“You must burst 15 ballon without missing in 5 minutes.”, Ryan said.
Kyle started the challenge and he ended up missing three and they were given crown to wear and the winner was given crown and teddy bear.
“Dad you are still the best and we love you.”, Emma said and the frown disappeared on his face.
“Dad let’s check that place out.”, Emma said and everyone turned to the direction of her hand.
“Couple’s challenge” was boldly written on it.
Before Kyle could complain, Ryan and Emma ran inside.
Pearl was about leaving also when Kyle held her hand making her turn back to look at his angry face.
