I have nothing to do.

My kids are all at school.

Grey and Parker is in college.

Gab and Jamison is in High school and my Ameera is in middle school.

Gideon was in the office. He left 2 hours ago. He never force me to work. After I gave birth to Ameera I stopped working. I want to spend more time with my children.

Gideon even wants to stop working but one glare from me he grudgingly went back to work the next day.

Our company will not run by itself. We have thousands of worker who depends on us.

I told Gideon he can retire once he pass the company to Grey but to Gideon's irritation our eldest was deliberately taking his sweet time finishing his Masters and PhD.

Greyson's really a copycat of his father

Is this considered empty nesting? If this is the preview I already hate it.

I'll force Gideon to buy the next lot beside our estate so that our children can build their own houses within the estate. I can't stand them living away from me.

Am I a clingy mother? Yes definitely but I'll be the best mother in law in the whole world.

Now I am hungry.

A while ago I am just bored but now I am hungry too.

On queue my stomach rumbled.

I pat my stomach and said "You just ate breakfast 2 hours ago dude."

After I said that a tray of Chocolate fudge cookies and Iced tea was placed in front of me.

I look up and smiled at the MIB who served my morning snack.

"Thank you!"

The MIB nodded.

"Hey can you ready the car? I want to stroll around the mall."

"No problem Mrs. Rosen-Hower."

I thank him again and starts to eat my snack.

Once I finish my snack I change my clothes to one of my Spongebob shirt and black pants. I wear my favorite Spongebob slides that was given by my kids.

I put some money on my pockets and inside my bra.

I can already hear the holy sermon that Gideon will start once he found out that I use my bra again as a keeping place.

I also brought my ID and credit card for emergency.

I went out of the house and the MIB's immediately became alert.

Pshh this people need to just like Gabriel said chill out. That kid has a different set of vocabulary.

Once we start our journey to the mall I start talking the ears off the MIB as usual.

"You know guys you should Chill out. You shouldn't not be always stoic. You know what you need?"

All 4 of them looked at me.

"A BJ." I finalized.

The car swerved almost at the tree line and all four MIB coughed violently. The 2 sitting behind me hilariously pat each others back while coughing.

I open the fridge on my side and passed 4 chocolate milk box.

The radio in the car starts to come to life.

"What happened? The Queen's alright? Roger."

The MIB at front finished the chocolate milk box in one gulp and replied

The MIB upfront look back at me and said "Mrs. Rosen-Hower I don't know if you recognize me but I am of your guards who accompanied you on your vacatiom in Italy."

I narrow my eyes at him but I can't really recognize them individualy because they all wear the same uniform and shades!

"Really? Wow!"

"Yes so can we the same conversation? Frankly I am still traumatized. If Mr. Rosen-Hower learned what happened that day instead of giving us a raise he might kill us."

I laughed. Yes I remember! He's one of the guards who accompanied me to buy some lingerie! That day was fun.

"I remember! By the way I think you did not answer my question that time."

I said seriously.

"Which one Ma'am?" The MIB replied.

"You're favorite sex position."

All the MIB inside the car including the ones listening on the radio groan in despair.

I laugh so hard. It was so fun to tease the MIB's.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

We arrived at the mall. The MIB parked the car near the entrance. As usual people stare. Why would they not? I am dressed like a child and I am surrounded by four security detail. I know that there are more guards surrounding this mall unseen by me.

Gideon's so paranoid. Who's gonna kidnap me?

I want Santa Clause to kidnap me. I bet Gideon will not find me. Hihihi.

I stop at one of the Churros stand and bought 2 serving. I offered to buy the MIB's but they decline.

I ate it while scanning the shops.

I went inside the department store and saw different kinds of clothes. One of the MIB's already have a cart in hand which I approve.

I bought Grey his favorite plain Black shirt. I swear that kid has at least 50 Black shirt in his walk-in closet but here I am buying him another set.

Parker's the opposite of Grey. Parker prefers colored shirts. I bought him 7 different colored plain shirt. The only thing he agrees on Grey was there should be no print.

Our Gabriel is different. He prefers loud prints on his shirt. The bigger and funny the print the better. From all of my kids Gabriel was the most eccentric or maybe unique. I bought him some Einstein printed shirt and I saw a shirt with bombs and dynamite on it. He love those.

Jamison loves collared shirt and those short sleeves polo shirts. I don't even know where he got it from. Gideon rarely wears collared shirts and he never wear short sleeve shirts.

To Gideon's irritation our Jamison also loves to wears shorts instead of Pants. Goodluck on asking Jamison to wear pants and close shoes in parties. My son thought he was on the beach 24/7.

Ameera our princess loves dresses. For now she wears pastel colored dresses. I swear her walk-in closet consisted of dress and flats. If Ameera was in charge she might also wear dress as a sleepwear.

When I went to the cashier I was surprise that I use 2 carts full of clothes. It's just for my children!

I smile sheepishly to the annoyed kid at the checkout counter.

The kid stop getting annoyed when he saw how big the men I am with. The MIB place our purchase organizedly at the counter.

The kid was just now scared. I can see his hands shaking as he scan my purchase.

"Uhm. That will be $536."

He nervously said.

I hand him $700.

"Keep the change!" I said to him. I left the kid in shock.

I got hungry again so we stop by at KFC for late lunch.

I force the MIB to join me. I told them to call the others so we can eat lunch at the same time.

I was not surprise that 8 MIB was with me.

We occupy one side of the fastfood joint. I think we made some of the costumers uncomfortable.

I am just waiting for one of them to complain but no one did.

I ask the MIB to order 3 bucket of Fried chicken with all the fixins they liked. I was disappointed that rice was not available.

All of a sudden all MIB's huddled together near my table. I was confused when all 8 of them brings out their phone and call someone.

"Don't worry Mrs. Rosen-Hower we are scouting on what area we can buy your rice. As of now there are 10 possible locations." One of the MIB explained.

Why all of a sudden I feel like I'm on that James Bond movie?

It's just rice for Spongebob sake!

"Our team deduce that it's much better to buy your rice in the restaurant on the 2nd floor. Please wait Ma'am as we retrieve your rice." One of the MIB seriously explained.

"Emergency."

"Roger what do you need." One of the MIB at the command center located in the estate replied immediately.

"Queen needs rice ASAP. We forgot to bring some." MIB 1 said.

"Roger that. I searched all the possible locations that we can get the rice." MIB 2 said as he skillfully search on his computer. It feels like this is a life and death situation for him. He has no room for mistake.

"All possible locations was sent to all your phone." He sighs.

"Okay. We will go to the nearest one on the 2nd floor. Call the restaurant now and order 3 servings. Tell them our ETA (expected Time of Arrival) is 5 minutes." One of the veteran MIB replied seriously.

"Roger that." One of the MIB nodded to one of his colleagues inside the command center.

"Hello Goodafternoon.-"

The MIB cuts off the speaker. He doesn't need to hear her rehearsed shenanigans. He intimidatingly said "Prepare 3 servings of rice now. At 13:05 a suited man will retrieve that. Place it inside the thermaly insulated container that will be provided understood?"

"Uhm yes. May I know who's this?"

The server ask. "No." The MIB coldly replied then end the call.

He nodded to his co-MIB and said "Clear."

As promised 3 MIB arrived inside the restaurant scaring the heck out of the customer and the staff inside the premises.

One of the MIB wordlessly handed the container that was specifically bought for this kind of emergency.

Mr. Rosen-Hower specifically instructed to equipped all of their SUV's with thermally insulated container for this kind of emergency.

He said that we should bring rice whenever they go out because sometimes Mrs. Rosen-Hower craved for it whenever she eat out but to their horror they forgot to bring some. They only restock her fridge with desserts, chocolates and juice.

They all know that their Queen loves rice. It was a preposterous thought to let her eat lunch without rice. Bread and pasta will not do.

The staff shakily return back the container full of rice. The MIB test the rice first for poison before leaving the store. Once they confirmed that the rice was clear. The 3 MIB's nodded at the staff and gave them $100.

They hurriedly went back to KFC holding their precious package. The 2 MIB's are parting the crowd to not delay the delivery of their cargo.

"ETA one minute." One of the MIB paged the veteran one on his ear piece. "Hurry up. We distract her with brownies. The queen's hungry."

Hearing that on their ear piece makes them move faster than before.

All the MIB has one thing running through their mind.

Mr. Rosen-Hower will skin them alive if he caught a wind of this incident.

*

Ella was munching the last of her brownies when 3 of the MIB return holding a big container.

The MIB carefully placed it on her table and open the container in front of her.

Ella smiles when she saw that rice was inside the container.

Ella was oblivious to the simultaneous sighs all the MIB's let out including at the command center when they saw her happy and contented.

"Aw. Thank you!" Ella said gratefully.

"At your service Madam." One of the MIB replied.

All of them ate their lunch without any hitch. Ella did not notice that the MIB was discretely watching any cues that tells them that she needs another serving of rice. Thankfully she's satisfied already.

Ella continued strolling inside the mall when she saw a place that made her excited.

She excitedly went inside and hurriedly paid at the counter using her titanium card ignoring the stares that she got from the other customers and employees.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Another tiring day ended.

He's excited to go home because he has an hour to cuddle with Ella before his spawns steal her attention.

James even wonder if he can put his children for adoption or it is too late for that.

He's just joking.

He loves his kids.

Truly.

Swear to fucking God.

"Home." James commanded.

"Sir Mrs. Rosen-Hower is in the mall."

Mall? Gideon checked his messages. Ella did not message him.

Gideon sigh and realizes his wife did not bring her phone again.

"Then I guess we'll go at the mall."

After 10 minutes James was not surprise that his lovely wife was playing inside the Kid's Cafe.

He can see Ella sliding down the slides while playing with other kids.

James approach the counter.

"Excuse me."

"Yes sir." The attendant replied.

"That woman over there" James pointed at Ella who was now attempting to cross the monkey bar. He just noticed that 2 MIB was guarding Ella inside the play pen. "How many minutes she's playing here?"

The attendant glance at Ella and ask James "May I know who you are sir?"

James unconciously puff his chest with pride and said "She's my wife." The attendant nodded and he entered something on his computer.

"Almost 2 hours sir. She also left her card here." Before the attendant gave back Ella's card James said.

"Charge another hour and if you can, open a tab because I know my wife will order some food."

The attendant nodded in understanding.

James removed his shoes and entered the play pen. James never imagined that at his age he is going inside a kid's cafe to play with slides and plastic ball with his wife.

James blatantly ignore the parents that was staring at him.

Fuck them. If his Ella wants to play here until closing time she will.

"Love." James called.

Ella immediately glance his way.

Ella smiled at James so brightly as if they did not see each other this morning.

Ella struggles to run at James because of all the plastic balls surrounding her but she made it.

"I missed you!" Ella exclaimed as she hugged him.

"I miss you too love. Are you enjoying playing at the slides love?" James asked.

"Very much so. Hey Gideon I think it's a good idea to have this same thing inside the estate." Ella enthusiastically suggested.

No fucking way.

"Of course love whatever you say." James replied instantly.

Damn it.

Another hour passby when he heard a familiar gasp.

"No way! You played without us!" Jamison shouted full of betrayal in his tone.

His 5 kids was standing at the entrance of the Cafe.

To the staff and parents surprise all 5 of his kids including his kids who's already in college remove their shoes and jumped inside the ballpit.

James looked at the spooked out attendant and shouted.

"Hey that one hour? Extend that until closing time."

His kids and wife all cheered when they heard what James said.

James sigh and proceeds to bury all his children under the Ball pit. He secretly hopes they suffocate.

Again.

He's just joking.
