Alex
"Love? D-do I really have to wear this?"
I am currently chopping garlic and onions while Olivia sits in the dining area, looking at my childhood photo album. Mom left it here during her last visit. I approached her and sat down nearby, and she held the dog ears from the headband she made me wear.
"It really suits you," she said, chuckling a bit.
I pouted and said, "Come on, Love. Can't I even hold your hand? I did what you wanted, I'm topless with an apron, and now I have these dog ears on."
She raised my chin with her index finger and said, "No. Finish cooking first, then we'll talk. I'll be more upset if I end up hungry."
I swallowed and nodded, "O-okay, love. I'll cook. Just stay here, okay? Don't leave." I told her.
She simply nodded and went back to flipping through the photo album. It just dawned on me now that Olivia has a bit of a sadistic side. But it doesn't turn me off; in fact, I'm starting to like her more. I returned to my task because I didn't want my baby love to get any more upset.
Olivia
I subtly glanced at Alex, trying hard to suppress my laughter. Seriously, I didn't expect him to actually do what I wanted. I put my phone on silent mode because I was planning to take a picture of Alex while his back was turned; he looked so sexy. Just as I aimed my camera at him, he turned around, so I ended up capturing him facing me. What I didn't realize was that my camera's flash was on. Damn it.
He smirked at me and said, "Really, love?"
I rolled my eyes at him and retorted, "That's part of my punishment for you."
He just shrugged, smiling. "Okay, whatever you say, love. But please forgive me quickly because I really want to hug you. You're just too cute. It's your fault I'm being so clingy, love." He teased.
I felt my heart racing, so I stood up and said, "I'll watch TV for a bit. Hurry up with that, okay."
I left before he could protest.

I didn't realize I had fallen asleep. I noticed a blanket wrapped around me. Looking around, I saw Alex sitting in one of the chairs, engrossed in his phone. He noticed I was awake and immediately came over.
"Hi, love. How was your sleep? Are you feeling unwell?" he asked with concern evident in his eyes. I lightly brushed his face. He closed his eyes and pressed my hand against his face.
"Love, look at me," I said to him. He followed my request.
I cupped his face and explained calmly, "We're still new in this relationship, so I need to adjust to your love language. I hope you understand."
He nodded, saying, "S-sorry love. I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to make you feel my love. I hope you don't misunderstand my intentions," he pleaded.
I smiled at him and gave him a peck on the lips. I saw surprise and happiness in his face. "Let's take it slow, okay?" I said to him.
"Yes, love. Can I hug you now?" He asked for permission. I nodded. He sat beside me and said, "Come here, baby love."
"Do you want me to sit on your lap?" I couldn't believe I asked him that.
"Please, baby. I want to hug you tightly," he pleaded.
"Oh, fine! Just this once," I told him. As soon as I sat down, he immediately hugged me.
"I missed hugging you already, love."
