Chapter One
It was a cold Saturday morning. The ground was wet from the rain that fell the previous day and the sky looked cloudy. It looked like it would rain again and Dennis was happy with the weather, especially since he was at home with his wife.
"Dennis, move your big head from there" Patricia yelled at her silly husband that was standing before the television, blocking her view of the interesting Zee world movie she was watching
"Roshni, come and move me" Dennis replied and opened his arm further aggreviating Patricia, she stood up from the couch she was previously sitting on and stomped to him.
Without saying a word she held his arm and made an attempt to drag him but he was unmoving. She looked up at his smirking face and an idea came to her mind.
She grabbed his neatly packed dread. "Now will you move or not?" She asked Dennis who screamed like a little girl when she first grabbed his hair.
"I rather not" he shrugged
"What are you even learning from this thing you are watching?" A dramatic gasp escaped her lips as she stared at him in disbelief, with her hand still in his hair.
"Romance, the one thing you are not good at" she replied and dragged him by his hair to the couch.
"Are you trying to say I'm not romantic?" Dennis asked with a pout
"I'm not trying to say you are not romantic, I'm saying you don't know the first thing about being romantic" she deadpanned and focused on the show without sparing an openmouthed Dennis a glance.
The couple on TV were on the bed, with the husband gently caressing the wife.
"See this woman ooo. You are watching this couple smelling each other and telling Me, the guy filled to the brim with romance that I'm not romantic" He stretched and dragged Patricia's petite figure to himself. He layed down on the couch with Patricia on his chest.
Her heart rate increased as she looked into his eyes.
"You want romantic right? You will get romantic." he said with a smirk and slowly leaned forward to kiss her.
She laughed at his antics and pecked his lips. He leaned up for more but she placed her palm on his lips.
"I need to watch this part" She relaxed on his chest and turned her full attention to the television.
"Na waw ooo...so you prefer that to me and yet you threw a tantrum when I was working?!" He asked in disbelief. Patricia felt the rumble of his chest as he spoke and giggled at the feeling and his words.
"Yes. And you are not suppose to work weekends, that's family time. Now shush! The fun part is coming up" Patricia's phone rang and Dennis stretched his hand to the center table to pick it up for Patricia but she swiftly pushed his hand away and picked it up.
Dennis gave her a confused look as she stood up and walked to the kitchen.
"Why couldn't she speak before me?" Dennis wondered.
He followed her to the kitchen.His breath held as he waited to hear what she would say "I know...but I need more time" Patricia replied then paused.
After a few minutes she added In a whisper-yell "No please don't!" She had a panicked look and her hands visibly shook. Sweats started trickling down her forehead.
"That would be fine" She replied with a sad look on her face. As she hanged up the phone.
She sighed and looked up only to come face to face with a confused looking Dennis.
"What was that about" He asked referring to the phone call
"Nothing you need to worry yourself about" Patricia pecked his cheeks and made her way out of the kitchen.
"I still want to know" Dennis replied in a deep voice that meant business.
"It was just Amaka, she wanted to drag me shopping with her but I don't have enough cash right now, so I told her to reschedule" Patricia replied
"You could have asked me"
"I know but I want to spend the whole day at home" Dennis smiled at that and pecked her forehead
"Okay then, lets go...." Dennis scooped her into his arms and carried her bridal style.
"What are you doing" Patricia laughed
"Being romantic" Dennis replied with a dazzling smile as Patricia laughed harder
