"I' would teach you how to prepare melon soup one of these days" I said laughing heartily. We were in the kitchen Making dodo and sauce for dinner. Daniel was talking about how melon soup was his favorite but he wasn't good at making it. He was talking about how he had made it one day and it came out a disaster and he had to dump it all into the waste bin and ate bread rather and then went to bed moody, I couldn't help but laugh."I'd be glad, the one I buy at restaurants, they don't cook it to my taste, I prefer home made food"."Melon soup is also one of my favorite food and I cook it so well, maybe I'll teach you how to make it tomorrow then" I said."That'll be great" he said grabbing my waist from behind."Watch that plantains before it get burnt and dumped in the bin like the soup" I said teasingly.I caught him eyeing me as he left me alone to check the dodo on fire.

We walked to the house without saying any word to each other. My mind was still racing and I couldn't still believe what just happened. It was not like it was a new thing, it was just that it was the first time I experienced something horrible like that, a gun pointed at me and all that.I have never experienced that in my life. I felt so bad because it was all my fault, if I had not gotten hurt we would not have had any cost to go out that night and Daniel wouldn't have been hit. The thought of the guy hitting him made me furious and sad and a tear dropped from my 76. As we got home I slumped on the couch, Daniel went to the bathroom to ease himself.What a day!

I enquired stretching myself as I climbed off the bed and stood beside him in front of the mirror." I don't know yet, he said picking up a white powder, he a little amount into his palm, rubbed it together and applied it on his face. I wrapped my arms round his waist and hugged him from behind."Look into the mirror" he said. I did so, making an ugly face, and it made him laugh."See how we look good together" He said smiling, at me through the mirror. " Our kids will be very cute" he added.
