Chapter 8: Chapter 8

TESSY

I held Steve so he wouldn't leave me. I don't want to be this close to him but what do I do?

The two ghosts in the movie kept hunting me.

Either I see the girl or I see her mom...

I should have just left Steve and his demonic movie.

I slept after so much thoughts

MORNING

I woke up when I heard something ringing. Oh, my phone.

I quickly picked it up noticing Steve was not in the room.

It's Steve's mom calling.

"Good morning ma'am" I said scratching my eyes.

"Morning cupcake. So sorry to wake you dear. You sound tired, I hope Steve is not stressing you out" she said.

Such a nice lady...

"No, he's not. We're good. I can handle his headaches" I said.

I heard her laugh.

"Okay darling, go and cook already, don't leave your husband starving" she said enthusiastically and I rolled my eyes.

Thank God she can't see me.

"I'll ma'am" I replied and she hung up.

I looked at the phone she bought for me the day before my wedding....

It's so big and I think it's the latest model.

What am I going to do with such a big phone anyway?

I looked at Steve's side of the bed,

He's not even in the room.

I saw an open briefcase at the far end of the bed.

I stood up looking at the big shirt I was wearing.

It's so short down there.

I went to the briefcase and looked into it.

My eyes widened

Bundles of dollar bill.

So much money!

Steve has all this?

It made me remember the money steve's mom gave me for up keep but she gave me little and it's about to finish. She said if I wanted more, I should ask Steve.. , the idiot will make fun of me and see me as a begger.

If only I was able to finish college...

Atleast this would be an opportunity for me to hold such amount of money.

I took two bundles and felt it.

Now this is money

I grinned.

The door opened and Steve walked in.

Oh no

I quickly dropped it.

I've fallen into temptation

"What are you trying to do? Do you want to steal from me?" He asked.

Yea, I know he'll say this.

"Aren't you my husband? I have the right to touch your money and also, what's yours is mine so what's the need of stealing it?"I pointed out.

He scoffed.

"If you want them just beg, no need to steal" he grouse

"I said am not a thief!!" I said angrily.

He smirked.

"Yea, whatever" he said and walked to the wardrobe.

He opened it and brought out a book.

Its a hard pink cover and the book looked heavy.

"What's...what's that?" I asked.

"What else but A cook book. Am tired of eating trash so I want to have a healthy hot home made breakfast today" he said leaving the room.

I went after him.

"I'll make breakfast for us" I said remembering his mother's words.

"No, thank you" he said blowing me off.

I smirked as an idea came to my mind.

"Okay, let's have a cooking contest. if I win, you give me all the money in that briefcase--"

He cut me off.

"And if I win, you'll let me do whatever I want with you for the whole day" he said

I gulped.

I'm not an expert in cooking but am sure I'll cook better than him.

We'll take our food to the three neighbors at the estate and who ever gets more thumbs up wins. 2:1.

hmph.

"Okay, we have a deal" I said.

He smiled a bit.

"Alright, may the best cook win" he said.

I nodded.
