Just Like Romeo

Ten

The whole room was so silent with Amal, Habiba and Amar seated on the dinning table and having breakfast. It's been a week since the incident where Amar had laid on Habiba's bosom's and in those week they've not been getting along. Which was mostly Habiba's fault because she would keep insulting him over petty things which he would never complain about.

"Mummy can I have chocolate now?" Amal asked in a pout.

"No, you've had enough for the week" Amar was quick to respond.

"yes dear, you've had enough" Habiba agreed with Amar who was still angry at Habiba because she had refered to him as a horny fellow just because she caught him arranging her hair when she was asleep in Amal's room.

"And you have to go to school now. So be quick with your food" Amar got up from where he sat. "speak of the devil, your school bus is here. Come darling, I'm sleepy let me take you to the bus" Amar said and Amal quickly ran to him and engulfed him in a hug while he picked her up and headed outside where he had immediately put her in the bus and said his good-byes to her before heading in.

Habiba stared at him as he walked upstairs, she felt very bad about insulting him in such a way yesterday. So she decided to go to his room. She knocked on his door which distracted him from the sleep which he had just begun. "Come in" he said in very sleepy voice.

"Yeah what is it?" He asked Habiba who was already inside and staring at him as though she had lost her sanity from the was fiddling with her finger.

"I'm very sorry about yesterday" she was quick to apologise.

"About what?" He pretended to have forgotten. He wanted her to say it. If it was so easy to call him horny, then it shouldn't be hard to apologise.

"I'm so sorry about calling you..." She said thinking he might had gotten a hunch.

"Calling me what?" He sat up on the bed, the sleep vanishing away.

"For calling you horny yesterday" she said in a whisper.

"Oh that, I have even forgotten. It's okay" He said while laying back in bed and covering up himself again.

"Thank you" she said and was about to walk away when he had stopped her with his words.

"But if I am horny its not that bad. I've not had sex in three years" he said with his blanket covering his face.

"How does that concern me?" Habiba said. He immediately removed the blanket from his face and stared at her.

"You're my wife. So it concerns you in many ways" he said, trying his best to hold back his laughter because of how red Habiba's face had turned.

"You're disgusting" she turned arround to walk away but in a swift motion. He got up and grabbed her arm and whispered into her ears calmly . "Common baby, give me what I want" he whispered with his ears biting her ear lobe.

"Ewww" she pushed him on his bed, making him erupt with great laughter.

"You should have seen your face, please on your way out do put off the lights please" he said. He could see clearly that Habiba had turned red and that made him sting from the inside, there was no doubt he wanted a woman.

"You're very annoying" she mumbled while walking out. and of course she didn't put off the lights.

****

It was approximately twelve in the afternoon and Habiba couldn't wait for Amal to return. At least she wouldn't be so bored like she was.

She was seated on the couch with her phone in her hand when she heard the clicking noises of Amar's slippers. She immediately got alarmed and decided to pretend to be so focused on her phone.

"Good Afternoon" Amar greeted and she simply muttered back his greeting with her eyes on her phone. There was no doubt that she was very shy at the moment.

Amar decided to pretend not noticing that so he decided to watch the television in other to pass the time at home. He had no work at the office so why not stay at home. He thought.

"Habiba what did you cook for Amal?, She'll be back by one" Amar said.

"I made her Noddles" Habiba said with her eyes gazing elsewhere but his face. She was so shy to look at him.

"Don't tell me you're still shy over what Happened in the room?" He chuckled "Habiba it was a friendly joke" He said.

"please don't speak about it again, I am trying very hard to forget it ever happened. Please" Habiba said and he chuckled.

"I'm sorry, I was only pulling your legs" he focused his attention on the television.

"By telling me about your needs to sleep with me?, I doubt if it was a joke" Habiba said absentmindedly and immediately covered her mouth with her palms.

"I will pretend I did not hear that" he chuckled.

"I am sorry, it flew right out" Habiba said. Before Amar could speak, they were both disrupted by the loud sound of the door bell. Habiba was glad that happened.

"I'm sure that's Amal" Amar got up and Immediately walked to the door which he opened to let his little girl in. She walked in with a smile in her face and immediately gave Amar a hug.

"Daddy I missed you and mummy so much!. Where is mummy?" Amal went in search of her Habiba whom she found seated on a couch.

"Mummy I have so much to tell you" Amal engulfed Habiba in a hug.

"Alright, but first let's go take a bath" Habiba said but was quick to stop her with her words.

"Daddy, mummy I want a brother" Amal said which made Habiba think back to their awkward moment.

"Of course dear, we'll get you one. Mummy and I were just talking about it, right mummy?" Amar said which made Amal happy.

"seriously?" She asked.

"yeah I promise to get you a little brother soon" Amar said and Amal couldn't be more happier as she immediately started clapping and rejoicing. Habiba knew she was in for trouble now.
