Married Life - Through ups & downs

3. A daydream

POV Haziran

- Hayatim ! He calls me knocking on the bathroom door.

- Evet, I'm coming !

- Please, I already told you, you're always beautiful, you don't have to try this much. Come out of here.

I open the door, giving him a warning look.

- Askim, you're going to have to get used to the idea that women like to take care of themselves.

- I get it, but you don't need all this. Even if you're beautiful right now. He add, kissing my cheek.

- Thanks.

- Let's go ? I'm starving.

- Yes this is what usually happens when most of breakfast ends up on the floor. I repply.

- You're kidding, but it's less easy than it seems to clean away eggs. Especially when it has had time to dry.

- Because you think I had fun with the olive stains ?

- I'm not even sorry. He admits, making me laugh.

- Me neither.

We get on the car and Poyraz start driving.

- While you were getting ready on the bathroom I had a lot of time to make some researches.

I shot him a glance at the implication but I don't pick up :

- What about ?

- Restaurants. I know you love chinese food so I was thinking we could go at one.

- Is there any in the area ?

- Yeah, twenty minutes away. And then, there is a supermarket at ten minute from there.

- Okay then. Do you like it too ?

- I haven't often had the opportunity to eat it but the few times I did I liked it. You will advise me what to take as you know about it so well.

- No problem. I confirm.

He took my hand in his and just let them intertwine on my thigh. I could really get used to it. I know it's a simple gesture but I like it so much. I watch the landscape paraded through the window. The sea, the sand, slowly being replaced by small dwellings when we finally cross a village.

Once at the restaurant, we decide to take the same. A ravioli soup as a starter, followed by duck laké accompanied by Cantonese rice. It is an outright failure. The ravioli soup is tasteless, the duck is rubbery, and the rice is sticky. However, we can't stop laughing.

- Tell me, when you did your research, did you think about looking at user reviews and ratings ?

He raise his eyes up in mines and it's off again for a burst of laughter.

- I'll take that for a no. I conclude.

- Yeah, no, I didn't. He confirms.

- I assure you that chinese food is really good. Usually.

- I don't doubt it, but not here.

- No, not here. I confirm, playing with my rice. I swear I can't eat more of it, I feel sick, like all my stomack is glued together now.

- Yeah, me neither.

The waitress come to our table and asks us if we want a desert, it's in one voice that we exclaim ourselves :

- No, thanks !

She nods before taking our plates and leaving.

- Well, at least it was funny. He concludes.
