A day to count

After having breakfast she went to a shower and change, while I did the same and put on some comfy shorts and a soft t-shirt.

"WOW!!!" she said as she went to the office.

"I cleaned it up for you."

"Thank you. I couldn't do it because I was so focused on the work and I was feeling lazy to clean the mess." She smiled.

While she settle down for her work I sat on the bean bag on the corner and went through my work.

"Sis, I am not coming home toni..." Ted sees me.

"Brother George, when did you come?"

"Last night.. I heard you snoring pretty loud" I teased him.

"I did not"

"You always snore... Now you have proof.." said Little Moon with her tongue out and teasing him.

"Ok ok... whatever... I am going to finish off our group project with friends, so I won't be coming home tonight."

He left in a hurry. I watched Little Moon working for a while and got close to her. She still didn't notice me. So I gave her a hug from behind and settled my head on her neck.

"Why?" she asked.

"Nothing, just go on with your work."

"Do you need anything?"

"I just want to stay close to you. Because I missed you a lot."

"Hmm... sorry I couldn't finish off the work earlier."

"It's ok, we have time to finish."

I watched her do a sketch for the poetry selection. While talking with her I gather around the necessary reference images and color palettes she will use to color it. While she was doing that I went on making the financial report for the filming, which I need to send to Mr.D by tomorrow night.

Fuzzball has been going all over me, exploring me as new territory and he calmly called me his. He even bite Litle Moon when she tried to take something from me. Fuzzball has grown up and is now so playful as a recharged battery-operated toy. Runs everywhere knocking everything in place. At the end settled down on Little Moon's lap for a slumber.

I made her some mid-day snacks and ordered us lunch from a reputed restaurant. I was tired to make lunch and I didn't have the heart the disturb her workflow to make her cook. Because when she starts work she is completely in sync with the design she does.

"Sir,"

"HI Mark."

"You have got some delivery. One from the restaurant the other from your mother."

"Thank you, Mark. hmm, there must be two sets of food, take one and give me the other."

"OK, and Thank you, sir."

I went back to the pantry and to the office to find her listening to some songs. She was almost dancing to the beat while doing her work. I watched her for a while. I went in and took her by surprise while waltzing her to the song "Permission to dance by BTS."

This is the new group she has been talking about, BTS. I remember she told me this music keeps her on her toes and helps her do her work. Well, it's her new work playlist. These songs do have a catchy tune and they were meaningful when you break down the lyrics.

After another hour or so, we went to have lunch. I ordered her favorite menu plus a set of fruits to eat. We talked about random things and about the filming.

"What will happen to Mary now?" she asked.

"Hmm.... she's being sued for violating terms of her contract as she repeatedly damaged the reputation of the agency."

I looked at her and with a pat on her head, holding her close to me I asked,

"Why do you care about her matter?"

"Well, one thing she is a girl. Even though she did wrong repeatedly she damaged her own reputation."

"It's her problem, why do you worry?"

"Just imagine, how can she find some other work even. Everyone knows her and she has always been with an attitude that she can rule the world instead of being humble. Isn't her situation worse?"

"Hmm.. you are right but it's her problem."

"Did you know she had her mother hospitalized and the treatment cost is very expensive?"

This was news for me. Because Mary always showed us as she had everything and was born with a silver spoon. From what LIttle Moon says, Mary has been doing all this to hide her true situation. But there is nothing I can help with honestly.

"OK now forget about her and eat. Or the food will get cold."

After lunch, we opened the other package send by my mother. As usual, she has sent her various types of ramen and snacks. Apart from those some homemade jams and pickles with pre-baked snacks that we have o fry before we have them.

"HI, mom"

"George, are you coming home? I heard that the filming was finished yesterday." She didn't know I came to Little Moon.

"Mom, why do you send her ramen noodles again...She still has what you sent her last time."

"Huh!!! how do you know I sent her a package, did she tell you?"

"Thank you for the goodies, Mom.. and specially for the jams you made," said Little Moon.

"GEORGE!!!"

"Yes mom, I came to Little Moon as soon as the filming was over. I am sorry I couldn't tell you earlier."

"Oh ok...I am happy you are with her. So when are you two coming back?"

"Next week we'll visit Brother D and after two weeks from that, we will be coming back. I have to do the exhibition."

"Ok son, you enjoy your time with her but don't be too naughty" she smiled.

"OH MOM.."

While she went to finish off her design sketch I went and arranged the food my mother sent us. She really has outdone herself, maybe we can start an online jam and pickle shop if she keeps sending us this amount of goods. Iw went back to check on her, and to find her fallen asleep on her drawing.
