The Mr. to my Mrs.

Chapter 3

011

Before Min moved into my apartment to cohabitate, I had a cat named Spice. Spice was hands down, one of the laziest cats I've ever seen. Spice was still a young one barely a year and a half old. He had short legs with a beautiful smooth gray fur coat and tail.

Because of my job, I don't get to spend a lot of time with Spice, but when I do, Spice never cooperates. Whenever I held out a toy and dangled it in front of his nose, he just turns around and goes to take a nap. If not knowing his age, I might have thought he was an old grandpa of a cat.

But ever since Min moved in, Spice has gone crazy. Crazy as in: crazy active, crazy loving, and crazy cooperative.

I looked at the single seated sofa to my right, staring daggers at Min who was stroking Spice's soft fur while he was on the laptop.

"Spice~" I chanted. The cat in questions looked my way before turning it's head in the other direction, meowing and pawing at Min.

"Looks like Spice likes daddy more than mommy," he chuckled handsomely.

I swear I don't know where I raised Spice wrong for him to be this way...

Juda and Vina never really liked to spend time watching 'kid cartoons' is what they call it. And what they mean by that is anime. I loved to watch anime; the only one who watches anime of the trio. I would sometimes force them to watch an episode of whatever anime I was watching with me.

Though I soon stopped forcing them to spectate because Juda always threw comments like,

"Why do they move like that."

"Why do they talk like that."

"Why do they eat like that."

And same with Vina but with comments like,

"Why is that dress so revealing."

"Why don't we have fashion like that."

"Should I start dressing like that too."

And then there's me. The only one that tries to watch with 100% focus. Although, I sometimes feel like they act that way on purpose because they know it'll make me kick them away when I'm watching. They know me too well...

Mr. Min's occupation is a photographer. He works in a magazine company, but he also does freelance photography for weddings, vacations, etc..

I had a one sided quarrel one time when we were cohabitating that happened like this:

I found a SD card lying around one morning as I was going to make us breakfast. Since I was curious I put it in a SD card reader and plugged it into our desktop, and started browsing the photos.

Yet who knew they all consisted of a beautiful woman! The file was even named 'My Future Wife'. Boiling with anger, I stormed into our bedroom. Peaceful Min was still sleeping on the bed with Spice not too far away, looking soft and handsome. His bed hair sticking out wayward, while his shirt was riled up halfway.

I stomped my way to his side of the bed and shook him awake. He slowly furrowed his eyebrows and groggily inquired,

"Breakfast is already ready?" His eyes were still closed, trying to get as much shut eye time as possible.

"Min. Wake. Up!" Hearing something wrong with my tone, Min shot up from the bed, still having cute bed hairs.

"What's wrong Lu?" He tugged on my arm and brought me closer to him, I yanked him off and started dragging him outside the bedroom. Min quickly shuffled his slippers on before submitting to my forcefulness.

"Are you cheating on me?" I asked in the most threatening tone. Min looked surprised and puzzled.

"What? No! Why would you think that Lulu?" He tends to call my full name Lulu when it was a serious conversation or argument.

"Then what's this!" And I shoved him to sit on the office chair. Min having just woken up squinted his eyes at the desktop screen. Before a small smile started appearing on his face.

"What's so funny?!"

Min burst out chuckling with his soothing magnetic voice. He stood up and brought me into his arms before cooing,

"That's my work project. The next magazine is titled 'My Future Wife', and she's one of the interviewed wives," he rested his chin on top of my head while snaking his arms around me.

"Only you can be my future wife."

"..."

He gave me a peck before releasing me and began stirring up the kitchen for some breakfast.

I remember the moment when I first got Min hooked on watching anime with me. It happened right after I begged him to go to Comicon with me a few years back.

"I only watch anime with you because that's what you spend most of your time doing in your free time, leaving me and Spice alone," objected Min; his imaginary puppy dog ears drooped down.

"Ok, ok, I was wrong, let's go out and walk Spice," I said. Having heard his name called, Spice looked over questioningly.

"Do people really walk their cats often like dogs...?"

"I'm not sure, but I always try to walk Spice frequently...," before visions started popping up in my head. Images of slouching Spice being dragged on the concrete, refusing to budge.

But once again, Min the Mr. Miracle somehow got Spice to start walking on his own volition.

Spice really had some deep grudge held against me.

You should know by now that my Mr. Min is handsome right? You would expect him to be like those drama male leads right? Tall, handsome, responsible, smart, and dense, or maybe romantic.

Mr. Min has three of those traits. He's tall, handsome, and responsible. He told me back in school, he was a little below average.

Where's my male lead from dramas?! I had to personally teach and slowly implement a romantic side into him. When we first started dating, I asked him,

"Where do you want to go on our first date?" Do you know what his reply was? He had the guts to say,

"Let's go to my family home, I'll introduce you to my family," now let me remind you, this was our supposed first date!

I huffed and walked away upset that day.

Another time is when we were on a date at the amusement park. When I tried to get cotton candy he said,

"Too much sugar," when I tried to get a snow cone he said,

"Your going to throw that up later after the roller coasters," when I tried to get a Sprite he said,

"Don't drink too much soda, it's not good for your teeth," later on, he slowly gave in to these few occasions. I'm happy to say that I am a successful Mr. Min tamer and teacher.
