When he came to live with me

A Surprise!

As the broad daylight entered my room waking me up, I realized it was noon already. I tried to wake Kev up but he wouldn't. So I rushed downstairs and made our regular breakfast and served it to him at bed. As always that woke him up.

"Hurry up Kev! You're so late!"

"I don't have to go today."

"What? Why?" I enquired.

He giggled," I have something to tell you, Amour..."

I was anxious, "What??"

"A surprise!", he said and made sounds of a drum roll with a hand gesture. I couldn't wait to hear it but he built the suspense.

"Tell me now!" I said excitedly.

He grinned, "You must make all the meals today... Then I'll tell you. Deal?"

I reconsidered if it was worth it but I couldn't bear the curiousity so i agreed.

"Then bring me my lunch, Mon Amour!", he grinned to annoy me. I was really annoyed and tried to manipulate him into telling me. Sadly, he resisted and I had to bribe him with lunch.

I went downstairs and started making pasta while I could not, for the life of me, stop thinking about it. After the pasta was ready, I distributed it in two plates and added cheese over it.

"Lunch's ready!" I called Kev and placed dinner on the table. He came down elegantly and seated himself next to me. I stared at him with a wide smile while he observed the pasta carefully. The cheese had started to melt from the heat of the pasta.

"That cheese reminds me of something..." he stated and acted as if he was thinking. I already knew what he was going to say.

"Oh yeah!", he jumped, "Your face that night!"

He burst out in laughter as I tried to hold it in. I acted annoyed. I could hold it no more when he asked, "Did it taste good?"

He added,"I know you had some..." and shrugged

He teased me as he laughed and I tried to keep it in me. I burst out eventually as he mentioned his 'glorious discharge' as he called it. And unexpectedly, he started to apologize for it.

"Hey... Now don't apologize, please.", I squeaked.

"Only if you answer my question..." he offered.

I asked,"What question?"

"Was it better than this pasta?", he laughed, chewing his pasta.

I shrugged and giggled.

"Do you want me to do it again?", he teased.

As much as I wanted him to say yes, I resisted, as always. Instead I gave him an angry stare and rolled my eyes. He thought I was actually angry and apologised again. I tried to hold in my laughter but it escaped and he laughed too.
"You did like it and want me to do it again, I know it!"

I chose to remain silent while he kept on teasing me. I giggled. Sometimes.

When we had consumed our pasta, I cleaned up while he watched TV. I was brain storming on how I could make him reveal what the surprise was.

After I had cleaned up, I sat next to him and snuggled him. He giggled and wrapped an arm around me. He was warm and aromatic, as always.

"Please tell me now...", I begged.

He smiled and upon my persistent requests, he finally agreed to tell me. I got up from his clutch and braced myself for the revelation. I could hear the drumroll noise he made earlier echoing in my head

He cleared his throat and then revealed," We're going to Hawaii." He said that in an enthusiastic, high-pitched voice. I was flabbergasted. I jumped and asked,"What??? Are you serious?!?!?" He nodded with a million dollar smile.

"Thought we needed some time together."

That made me chuckle and I asked when.

"I booked a flight leaving at noon tomorrow..."

"What?!? Tomorrow? But we aren't ready yet!"

"I'm sure you'll pack your stuff quickly and help me too.", he said with an evil smile.

"You mean pack my stuff and yours after that?"

"Yup!" he giggled.

He always made me pack his stuff whenever he went out. I was too kind to refuse or protest. He took me to my room and I opened my closet.

"Think I'll need some shorts." I announced, observing its obvious shortage.

"I figured that..." he grinned, "Let's go shop some then."
