"Damnit Patrick!" I yell, picking up the mess he left in the kitchen. "How can you possibly make it look like a tornado ran through here by just cooking pancakes?" I feel something drop on my head, the slimy texture slowly travelling its way down my forehead.

"PATRICK!" I yell again. "Get your ass down here!"

"What do you possibly wa-oh" He cowers back with fear as I point to the mess that he made. Another, what I guess is an egg, drops on my head again, making a gooey sound.

"Yeah-" I wipe the egg of my head and throw it on the ground "-oh"

"Let me expl--"

"I mean how can you possibly make this big of a mess!"

"I was cookin-"

"You were suppose to cook pancakes! PANCAKES!"

"I didn't mea-"

"I would've at least expected you to burn yourself accidently but the kitchen ends up looking like a disaster! A DISASTER!"

"I got distra-"

"And you walk away from the mess?"

"Baby, I was tryin-"

"WHY WOULD YOU WALK AWAY FROM THE MESS YOU CREATED!"

"I..I'm so-"

"Then you expect me to clean it up"

"Dammit woman! Let me speak!" I give him the death glare and he takes a step back.

"Or... I could just let you speak while I clean up the mess I created?"

I grunt in response.

"I'll clean the entire thing up while you rest your pretty little feet on the couch"

I grunt again.

"I love you"

Another grunt.

"I'll buy you nutella"

"DEAL!"

"We didn't even make a deal..." He drifts off.

"You clean up the mess and buy me nutella. Sounds like a deal to me" I shrug my shoulders and go and sit down on the couch, turning on the television.

"I..alright.."

"Go on.. Get to cleaning. The kitchen isn't going to clean itself ya know" I give him a thumbs up with a big toothy grin.

Now it's his turn to grunt and begins getting out the cleaning supplies.

"Oh and Patrick?"

"Yeah?"

"Make it spotless. I wanna see my reflection"

He grunts again, with a little bit more force as I stifle a laugh.

"Patrick?" I call his name again, catching his attention.

"Yes?"

"I love you too" And with that, he smiled and started cleaning happily.

*******

After watching two hours of television, I go into the kitchen and see Patrick slumped up against the counter, sleeping with a mop in one hand and a broom in the other.

"Um.. wow." I say quietly.

"At least the place is clean" I mutter out.

I go to wake Patrick up but a short jolt of pain goes through my stomach.
