3 Ice Cream Date (1/2)

”Get up aunty!” A chirpy tone voice was shouting with joy. Even though it sounded like it was shouted through my ears. The little person began pulling my arms that was covering my face from the sunlight.

”Get up aunty.” A softer voice whispered while holding onto my fingers.

I groaned loudly letting them know I was displeased with them for disturbing my sleep. I knew who these voices belonged to, and I will always welcome the presence of both of them. But wasn't it rather early to have them visiting me at this hour?

I opened my eyes to see my five-year-old nephew Xue and Xun laying down next to me. They were both identical, except that Xun had a mole on his left ear and Xue had it on the right ear. Their cheeks looked like someone had stuffed two peaches in their mouth and left it there. It screamed adorable at me! They were making me wanting to kiss their cheeks without stopping.

Meanwhile, Xun was always energetic while Xue was quiet and shy. It made Xue look like he was the oldest, but Xun was born five minutes and twenty-six second ahead. I gave props to my sister-in-law for giving birth again within a five-minute timeframe. Plus, I was thankful for her giving birth to two smart and adorable babies.

To tease them, I threw my arms around both of them and trapped them next to me, ”Where is your dad?”

”Work.” Xue and Xun answered in unison then giggled at each other.

I sat up in my bed and was greatly doubting their ”honest” answer. My brother was probably having a date with his lovely wife and wanted to be left alone. Purposely dropping off the twins super early in the morning for me so they can have the whole day.

”Daddy said that we should spend our whole day with you before your school reunion,” said Xue, but not before giving me a good morning kiss on the cheek and snuggling in bed with me.

Oh, goodness! I almost forgot today was my high school reunion. My school class president loves to host one every year, but this will be the first time in seven years that I'll be attending. Hugging the twins even tighter, after realizing that my older brother sent his kids so that I can cheer up.

I was dragging the thought of going to the high school reunion. My experience wasn't the best especially going to a prestige high school for rich kids when I was a ”commoner.” However, I needed to go tonight to the reunion.

”Amelia, take them downstairs,” I called out to Amelia who was right outside my bedroom door.

”Yes, my lady,” Amelia replied, taking the twins downstairs to have breakfast first.
