Chapter 21

"Hey... Honey...what taking you so long to dress" Dean yelled out as he was waiting for Jennifer downstairs.
"Honey...What's wrong..." I yelled out again and heard some footsteps and at this moment I was glad someone was coming down.
"When did that play start? Who are you calling honey... Please, I'm not supposed to be with you here... I just changed my mind but if you dare call me honey again... I'll go back upstairs and change this dress... I promised" Her action shows she's angry and not ready to talk to Dean while looking sideways.
"Honey...why are you frowning?" I smiled as I walked to her and held her.
"Fine..." she tried to leave with anger but was unable because I was holding her.
"Com. on... can't someone play with you... Oops... I'm hungry..." I hold her across her waist as she feels reluctant.
"Why don't you wait so that I can prepare you something to eat before we go out" Her romantic voice shows she's caring and deserves me but sometimes she acts so cold.
"no...today... we are going around the world... don't worry... we'll have a lot of fun there" I have never felt this kind of love in my heart as I continued to hold her around her waist but she slowly removed my hand.
"Where are we going?" She looked me in the eyes and at this moment, I was shy and I had to look sideways.
"Don't worry... today will be fun" I replied and she laughed as she saw the shyness in me.
"Hmm... Please I don't want anything that will lead to problems on our way there and that is why I love to know where we are going" her low tune begins to frighten me and I was scared of replying.
"Don't worry... just have faith... by the way... what do you love to do best and where do you like to go?" I summon the courage and look her in the eyes as I walk slowly to her and touch her chin with my hand.
"Hmm...I don't know... you know...I haven't been able to go out with anybody so I don't know what I like best...But don't worry... I'll be comfortable with anywhere we go since you are okay with it" she smiled at me and I can't feel my heart drumming in love.
"Ummm...Ummm.." I cough while drawing my body backward.
"Fine... let's go to my car" I held her hands and as we were about to leave, she stopped making me look back.
"Hi... what's it," I asked curiously and I was scared she could say, ``Let's cancel the date.
"You are leaving without closing the windows and you didn't even turn off all the lights... please wait here... I'll do it myself..." She continued to look around and was about to leave.
"Wait... there is no need for that... I have already assigned a person to do all of that... let's just go... I'm hungry...please" I held her but she refused to follow me.
" I insist" her look made me scared and I had to let her go while I waited for her in my car.
' I don't even have a plan for today but I just told her we'll spend today outside...look at me... where do I even know myself... Now I have made a promise... we should just walk around the street while holding hands...Yes...that will be romantic but I don't think it is a nice idea... I know after the restaurant what next? anyway... I just hope ideas come before we finish eating...' I murmured to myself and before I could realize it, she was already in the car but I'm too lost to notice.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting... Please shall we?" I stared at her as she returned it with a smile...This made me relieved and I drove off.
We drove for about five minutes and we were scared to talk to each other until she broke the silence.
"You have been acting strange lately... why don't you go with your usual self, not today... you'll be kind, tomorrow heartless" She commented and I quickly stopped the car in the middle of the road.
"what's happening... I hope you have not started again... please I don't want to die... " She yelled while I continued to look in the mirror to see cars from behind.
"Please drive... I'm sorry... I won't say harsh words again" She yelled again and I drove to a parking spot...
"What happened? Do you want to kill us" She screamed while breathing fast as if she just ran a 100metre race.
"At least we are going to die together and continue somewhere new" I laughed while staring at her.
"Not me and you please... if you want to die... please do... as for me...I don't want to die". She commented after feeling relieved from death.
"I don't know you're so scared of death... you just made my morning" I smiled, still staring at her little shining face.
"By the way... I'm sorry if I have ever acted so cold to you but I'm not like that but you know my position in my company... I had to be cold to people and that is why they kept mistaking me... I'm sorry for the way I have acted on you but honestly from my heart... I love you..." I slowly placed my hands on her lap and we both stared at each other.
"Please forgive me for all I have done for you" I smiled as her silence continued to give me joy.
I slowly removed my hands back and put them in the steering where I drove off to the restaurant.
"Hey, waiter... please come here... fast... I'm hungry..." I yelled as soon as I entered the restaurant without even having a chair.
"Please get me... Fried rice and turkey with two glasses of champagne..." I ordered as he was following me till I was finally seated.
"You can ask my wife what she wants... but be fast with everything please" I stretch my hand pointing at Jennifer as I can see the look she gave like someone whose heart is on fire.
"Wife? Since when" she whispers while looking around and making sure nobody was listening to them.
"Yes... You are my wife...Are you scared" I talk with boldness as everyone stares at me in the restaurant but at this moment, I was not shy anymore?
"Hmm...I'm your wife... but... I didn't see any ring in my hand" She raised her left hand and continue to stare at it over and over again
"Oh... Thank you... you are so fast" I compliment him after dipping my hands in my trousers and bringing a little dollar note, then giving it to the waiter.
"Don't worry about the ring... but you are my wife already" I started eating immediately but she was busy drinking the champagne.
"So why are you doing all of this... I mean this outing... what is it meant for or are you trying to propose to me in public" She asked while staring at me and I didn't know the time I spilled the champagne from my mouth.
"What... proposed? No" I replied while cleaning up my mouth with my hand towel.
"am I not your wife," she asked, still staring at me without eating a dime from the food.
"Don't worry... please eat your food before it gets cold... by the way, you told me you ran away from home but we never had the opportunity to tell me the reason" I glanced at her with a wicked look and immediately, she started eating.
"Hmm... fine...But... can we change the topic since you too don't want to answer me?" She frowns again as she continues to eat, still with the glass of champagne in her hand.
"Hmm... anyway, it's fine... I'm satisfied...Now I'm waiting for you" I sat comfortably as I continued to stare at her while cleaning up with the napkin on me.
"I'm satisfied already...Thanks, it's a delicious meal" She commented as she didn't do the same with the napkin while waving her hand to the waiter.
"Hmm... I can see you are about to pay for the meal" I commented while the waiter stood in front of us waiting for cash and I continued to stare at Jennifer.
"Sir... are you paying with cash or POS," The waiter asked while standing in front of us.
"she'll pay" I stood up and she joined me but didn't say anything.
"I don't have any money...she screamed.
"Fuck...lower your voice" I quickly brought out my card and paid with it. I even left some changes for the waiter since he's fast and reliable.
We both walk out of the restaurant where we walk around the street without a direction
"Next time, don't wave your hands at the waiter if you don't want to pay" I whisper to her while holding her hands in the street.
"Fine... but what are you trying to do over there?" she replied while I continued to laugh in pain.
"Oh...my God... can we play please..." She screamed while jumping around like a baby.
"Can't you see it for kids? Did you see your mate over there" I replied as I continued to stare at the baby vending machine.
"Please" her smooth soft voice sounded as if she was about to cry.
"Dammit" I yelled and we both walked into the store.
"Hi kid... how do they play this game?" I bent down asking the kid as I continued to rub him on his head.
"You'll put your coins here and try and catch the toy from inside with this remote" he demonstrates it to me and it sounds fun.
"Can I try" Jennifer yelled and deep down in me..."What is wrong with this girl" I whisper in silence.
"Yeah..." I put in the coins where I watch her play the game.
"Damn... I didn't get it..." She yelled while staring at me" can you put another coin please...." she begged me with her contact and I felt pity for her.
"Fine" I put in another coin and stood sideways, admiring the beauty of the arena.
"Fuck... I didn't get it..." She yelled again while staring at me again
"No...no... no...don't say ``put again" I looked at her while shaking her head but her glance was too hard for me to resist.
"Come and try" she dragged me after I put the coins inside the vending machine.
"Yes...yes...yes...almost there...Fuck... didn't get it" I slammed the desk with my fist and bring out another coin from my pocket.
"Yes...I'm doing it...I got it...Yeahhhh.... fuck.... Didn't get it again" I slammed my fist hard on the desk again and brought out another coin from my pocket.
"I got it... I got it...Fuck...I'm tired" I stood up feeling reluctant while she continued to laugh at me.
"You can it..." she encouraged while rubbing my back and I placed another coin.
"I'll get it this time" I encouraged myself while playing the game.
"Yes...You are doing great.... fuck...almost... don't worry we'll get it" She yelled'' I feel tired and frustrated of this easy game.
We both continued to play the game and didn't get anything before leaving the store hopelessly.
"That game is not easy" I complained as she held my hand while walking down the street.
We both walked down the street and finally stopped at where roasted meat was placed for decoration.
We entered the food restaurant and watched the man fry meat with Kung fu.
We admired him a lot as we were served with some chilled beer.
"I love this place... My mum and I used to come here" I whisper to her while drinking the cold beer.
"I can see the reason...it's entertaining over here" she continues to look around and enjoy watching how the men make dishes.
"Yes... it's nice..." I continued to drink and at the same time eat beef while she was only eating the beef.
"You should calm down with the way you drink please" She whispered as I opened the third bottle of beer while she was still in her first.
