A Marriage Contract

Chapter 28

"You too." I picked up the bags before Vincent could.

"You hold the umbrella." I said.

"Yes ma'am." He said.

We walked out of the store. I still felt the touch of his lips on mine.

We walked in silence. Also if did talk it would be not be audible because of the rain.

This felt strangely like a scene from a cheesy romance movie and I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

A loud thunder bellowed and I was startled.

"Are you okay?" Vincent asked.

"Ofcourse. I am not scared of a little thunder." The truth was I was indeed afraid of thunder.

"Why don't we go there?" I motioned towards a fried chicken shop.

"Right now?" Vincent asked.

"Yeah. It's raining and the perfect time to eat some fried chicken. I went there during my high school years. I love it there. Let's go." I said.

"If that's what you want." He said.

We went in the shop and chose a table which was on the open out space.

"What can I get started for you?" The waiter asked.

"We'll have buffalo wings and Nashville hot chicken." I said.

"Anything to drink?" He asked.

"Is beer okay?" I asked. Vincent nodded.

"We'll have two beers. That's all." I said. The waiter left.

"You drank beer when you were in high school?" Vincent raised an eyebrow.

"What? No. I used to come here with my friends sometimes on weekends." I said.

"Ok." He said. The waiter came back with beers.

"Speaking of friends. Can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Go ahead." He said.

"You don't have many do you?" I teased him. His faced dramatically feel.
