The next morning at breakfast we were all livelier than last night and it spread throughout the day, for we spent that Saturday together since the twins were still grounded.

All was forgiven with Shiwoo, the kids and I for he had gone out and bought us apology gifts, and had reduced the dating ban to 35.

"I love you." I said and I kissed his lips and he smiled into the kiss.

"I guess those flowers and jewelry really does work magic. I\'m glad you\'re talking to me again."

"I hope you have learned from your mistakes and never do shit like that again." I scolded and he nodded.

"Yes ma\'am."

"Dad come on. We\'re going to be late for our date." said Adriel looking so beautiful I her jeans and top.

"You look like a princess dear." he said and she playfully rolled her eyes.

"Dad come on. I wear these at home."

"Which makes you even more beautiful. Where is your sister?" he asked.

"Right here." said Aria coming too meet us in her jeans and top.

They three were matching and they looked so cute.

"Aria baby you look so cute. You all look so cute. Smile for a picture. Say \'Daddy daughter date!"

"Daddy daughter date-cheese" they said and I snapped a few pics hugging the phone to my chest, "hey, bring them back before midnight young man."

"Ha ha." laughed Shiwoo, "I will ma\'am. No worries."

"Have fun!"

"We will!" yelled Aria waving at us and I watched them as they left for their movie and arcade date.

"Are you ready to go mom?" asked Adrian from behind me, and I turned around gushing and how cute he looked it his tux.

"Aww my baby is such a handsome young man."

"Aww come on mom. You\'re cramping my style." he whined as I kissed his cheek and I laughed.

"Okay okay. No cheek kisses. I\'ll go grab my purse and keys."

"Okay. Don\'t take forever." he said and I clicked my tongue.

"Boy hush up. You sound just like your father."

I quickly ran and got my purse and keys, and met him outside the car and we got in and were off to our dinner date.

I had made reservations at a fancy restaurant, and Adrian held my hand and helped me out of the car and he held onto me until we were on the inside.

He pulled out my chair like a gentleman, and gently pushed it up, and I smiled proudly at him.

"Good evening sir and madam. What can I get you both tonight?" asked the waiter and Adrian picked up the menu about to order, when I cleared my throat reminding him of his manners.

"Oh right. Ladies first. Mother what would you like?"

"I would like the pasta and a chicken salad please." I said and the waiter nodded writing it down.

Adrian too gave his order and the waiter left to deliver it to the kitchen.

"So. What do people do on fancy dates?"

"Well first of all they sit up straight." I said and he immediately fixed his posture, "and they talk about whatever. It\'s an opportunity to get to know the person better over delicious food. A date."

"Hmm." he hummed, "dad says that dates are a waste of time. If you want a girl you tell her straight up."

"Well son I don\'t know if you have noticed this as yet, but your father is an idiot."

"Ha ha. Yeah." he laughed and I chuckled, "I\'ve never been on a date before. It\'s kind of awkward you know. You\'re my mom so it\'s not really awkward, but what if I go on a date with a real girl? Do we just sit and wait for food?"

"A real girl?" I scoffed playfully, "but it all depends on you really. If you want to be shy and awkward while you wait then be shy and awkward. If you want to be chatty and discover new things then do it. Ask her about her favorite color, her favorite food. Be comfortable without each other. That is the most important."

"Hmm. That\'s some good advice. Thanks mom." he said smiling, and I returned his smile just in time the food came.

We talked and laughed over dinner and it was really nice and refreshing.

"Hey why don\'t you tell me stuff anymore huh? We used to be best buddies. I can speak boy too you know."

"I guess it\'s just a little awkward sometimes. It\'s easier with dad since he is a guy you know, but if I ever need advice on girls or life, I know where to find you." he said and I smiled.

"Yes you do."

"Excuse me" he said calling over the waiter, "can w have the check please."

"Ouu look at you being a gentle man. Wait. Didn\'t I revoke your card privileges since you\'re grounded?"

"Yeah, but dad gave me his. He said that I should pay for dinner like a gentleman." he said and I awwed.

"Aw. Well guess what little gentleman. Drinks-I mean sodas are on me."

"Cool. I\'d like that." he said and he paid the bill and took me by the arm, and we were off.

We stopped at convenient store and bought sodas and Kimbap for we were still hungry after a our meal.

"I\'m not going to lie mom, but fancy restaurants sure do charge a lot for such small portions of food." said Adrian.

"Ughh tell me about it. I was hungry by the time we got outside."

We both chuckled as we sipped our sodas.

"To be honest, I prefer the convenient stores over restaurants."

"Me too bud. Me too." I said finishing my kimbap, "another round?"

"You read my mind. Oh lets add some ramyeon too."

"You got it dude." I said going to get our refills and we ate it all smiling and giggling.

I felt young and alive again, but not only that, I felt as if I have connected even deeper with Adrian, and as I watched him smile and listened to him laugh, I was reassured that maybe I did something right in raising him.

We arrived home a little after 11, and we were giggling as if we were drunk, but we had just had too much slushies to drink.

Adrian held my waist and brought me to the couch, and we plopped down laughing as threw my shoes that I was holding in my hands to side.

"Did you see his face when we accidentally spilled it!? He wanted to kill us"

"Ha ha yeah!" I laughed.

"That was so fun mom! I didn\'t even know you could run like that. You turned Usain Bolt on me back there."

"What can I say? I eat up my ground provisions, but seriously though. We do not talk about this to anyone."

"Not even dad?" he asked.

"Especially not dad. We can\'t have him know that we accidentally spilled juice on an old guy."

"Ha ha yeah. It was hilarious though." he said and I chuckled nodding.

"It sure was. We should go on dates more often. I mean your dad doesn\'t take me, and I have already copy and pasted so why not."

"Yeah why not? Partner in crime."

"We\'re home!" I heard Aria yelled at the front door, and I shook my head getting off the couch.

"Did we make a child or a siren?"

"I\'m thinking both." said Shiwoo as he came in kissing my lips.

"Did you guys have fun?"

"Oh we had more than fun. Daddy won us lot\'s of prizes at the arcade and he even  snuck in snacks and we almost got in trouble. Oh and he told the ticket person that I was 10 so that he didn\'t have to pay adult fee for me." said Aria, and Shiwoo\'s eyes widened.

"Aria! I thought we agreed to keep that between us."

"Oh. Sorry." she said apologetically.

"How was your date with Adrian?" asked Shiwoo, and as I was about to answer, Adrian did.

"It was so awesome. Mom is like a female Usain Bolt. You should have seen the way she ran after we accidentally spilled juice on an old guy. His face was priceless ha ha!"

"Adrian!" I said through my teeth, "what did we just discuss? I\'m starting t think that we made sponges and not kids. You guys can\'t keep anything in for long."

"Oh. Right. Sorry. Hehe."

I clicked my tongue and placed my hand on my hip, "kids am I right?"

"Tell me about it." said Shiwoo, "I\'m tired as hell."

"Yeah so am I. Kids brush your teeth and get to bed. Shiwoo let\'s go."

"Yes ma\'am." he said smirking as I took him by the arm to our bedroom and lock the door.

"Could you help me remove my dress please?"

"So you\'re quite the rebel huh?" he asked pulling down my zipper and my dress fell to the floor.

"I guess you can say that. I never follow the rules."

He smirked as I turned around and pushed him onto the bed, then I straddled his lap.

"Hmm I like this side of you rebel, but I should warn you that I am no saint myself."

"Well it\'s a good thing I\'m not looking for one." I whispered into his ear and kissed his ear lobe.

With a movement swifter than light, he unhooked my bra and flipped us over.

He placed a kiss between the valley of my breast and I moaned softly as I arched my back and wrapped my legs tighter around his waist.

"God I love your body. I want to worship it every second of the day." He said in between each kiss he placed on my stomach, and I bit my lip and fisted his hair.

"Then do it."

"Oh fuck." he moaned slipping off my panties and opened my legs entering me, and I gripped the sheets as my toes curled and my eyes rolled.

"Ah-oh God-oh God!"

"That\'s it baby. Take all of me. Take all of me!" he said as his forehead rested on mine, and he thrusted in and out of me until we both climaxed, and he collapsed onto me breathing hard.

"I\'ve still got it.." I heard him whisper and I smiled as he pulled me closer, and we fell asleep as the pace of our heartbeats slowed into a matching and calming rhythm.
