You won the competition
“You won the competition?” Calvin asked with a croaky voice.
Dorothy turned to his direction and rushed to him, “hi, are you okay?” She asked.
“I need water,” Calvin replied.
Dorothy went to the refrigerator and brought a glass of water to him.
She helped him get up from the bed and gave him the water, Calvin collected it and drank.
After he had drunk it, Dorothy collected the glass from him and kept it on the table beside the bed.
“How are you feeling now?” She asked.
“Better, I am so happy that you won the competition,” Calvin replied.
“Yeah I did, Honey pie why did you do it?” Dorothy asked.
“Do what?” Calvin asked.
“Why did you eat Chinese food when you know that you are allergic to it?” She asked.
“That’s not why I fell sick, I had a little cold, nothing else,” he replied.
“Stop lying Honey pie, Levi told me” she said.
“Oh he did, I am so sorry about that” Calvin apologised, making a mental note to deal with Levi for ratting him to his wife.
“I am sorry Doll, I didn’t want to offend you that’s why I ate the food” he apologised again.
“It is fine, I have forgiven you” Dorothy replied and patted his hair.
“Thanks Doll,” he said.
“But you are going to give me the list of things you are allergic to,” Dorothy said.
“I will,” Calvin replied.
“You are hungry right?” She asked him.
“Yes,” he replied.
“Okay, let me cook for you” She said and wanted to get up from the bed but Calvin held her back.
“Don’t go,” he said.
“No, I am not going anywhere, I will just send a message to those guys outside and come back” she replied and he released her.
Dorothy went out of the room and told Jesse to get the chicken for her.
They asked if he had woken up and she answered yes, she asked them to also inform Edward and Levi.
Dorothy then went back to the room and went to the bed with Calvin.
“Lie down with me,” he said.
“Sure” Dorothy replied and lay down beside him.
“So how did the competition go?” Calvin asked.
“It went well, I will tell you the details later,” Dorothy replied.
“Why are not going to tell now?” He asked.
“Because you are sick and I don’t want to bore you” she replied.
“You won’t bore me, please tell me” Calvin pleaded.
Dorothy was about to reply to him when someone knocked at the door.
“Come in” Dorothy said and Jesse came into the room carrying the chicken.
“Okay, your food has arrived Honey pie, I am going to cook for you” she said to him but Calvin crossed his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him.
Jesse had to turn his back to them or his boss would surely rip his eyes out for looking at them.
“Honey pie, I need to cook,” she said.
“No you don’t, tell Jesse to cook it instead” Calvin replied.
Jesse’s heart skipped when he heard that, “Boss should kill me instead, who told him that I can cook” Jesse thought.
“He won’t cook it like I want, no offence Jesse” Dorothy said.
“None taken Madam” Jesse replied.
“Of course, he will, right Jesse?” Calvin asked.
“Yes Boss” he replied, although his back was facing them, he knew that Calvin was smirking at him.
“Honey pie,” Dorothy called.
“Yes, my Doll” Calvin answered.
“Let me go so that I can cook for you, please” she pleaded and pecked him on the cheek.
“Okay fine but Jesse will help you out” he agreed.
“That’s okay with me,” Dorothy replied.
She then got up from the bed and went to where Jesse was standing, “let’s go to the kitchen” she said to him.
Jesse then turned around and followed her, when Dorothy found out that the presidential suite had a kitchen.
She was accepting a small kitchen but she wasn’t prepared for what she saw when she entered the kitchen.
Jesse was actually the one that led her to it since she didn’t know where it was.
“Is this also part of the hotel?” she asked Jesse.
“Yes ma” Jesse replied.
“Wow!” Dorothy exclaimed and went to the kitchen counter and started examining it.
“Do you know how to cut meat?” She asked Jesse and he nodded.
“Okay cut the chicken into small pieces for me but not that small” Dorothy said to him.
He nodded and took the chicken he was holding and went to the cutting board and started cutting it.
Dorothy washed the vegetables and started cutting them too.
Jesse finished cutting the meat and collected the vegetables from her and cut it too.
After he was done, Dorothy started cooking immediately, at exactly twenty minutes the soup was ready.
Dorothy dished three plates of soup, gave two to Jesse and Justin and took one to Calvin.
“You gotta be kidding me” she said, entering the room.
Her husband was typing on his laptop but quickly closed it when she was coming but Dorothy caught him.
“Ahem, I wasn’t doing anything” Calvin lied.
“You lie, I saw you working on that laptop” she said and dropped the plate on the table.
“And here I was trying to fix a meal for you not knowing that you were here working,” Dorothy said, angrily.
Calvin was very surprised at the outburst of his wife, he had never seen her like this.
He went down on his knees and started apologising, “I am so sorry, Doll” he pleaded.
“Please forgive me”
“It is fine, come to the table and eat” Dorothy said.
“Have you forgiven me?” He asked.
“Yes I have, now come here” she replied.
“Calvin stood up from the floor and went to the table and sat down.
Dorothy placed the food at his front and sat beside him, “now eat” she ordered.
Calvin nodded and took the spoon and started eating, he made sure that the plate was empty before he stopped eating.
“Hungry much? You didn’t even ask me if I wanted to eat,” she said.
Calvin felt the food churn in his stomach and he wanted to see something when Dorothy gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
“I was just joking” she said, stood up and took the plate back to the kitchen.
She came back and saw that he was still on the table, she went there and led him out of there to the bed.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
They reached the bed and lay down making sure that they were under the covers.
Dorothy closed her eyes happy for the peace and quiet.
“I am so sorry for not asking you to eat with me,” Calvin said, interrupting the peace and quiet.
Dorothy opened her eyes and turned to his direction, “I have forgiven you Hubby” she said to him.
“I know but I have a feeling that you haven’t forgiven me deep inside your heart” he replied.
“Hubby is very childish when he offends wife”, Dorothy made a mental note about her husband.
“Well I have truly forgiven you Honey pie, so just sleep” she replied.
“Okay thanks but I am not feeling sleepy” Calvin said.
“Can you tell me a story?” He asked.
“Sure I can, let me tell you how I won the competition,” Dorothy replied.
“Yeah that is right, tell me about it, I almost forgot” Calvin said.
Dorothy then started telling him all that happened at the competition but she left the part where she trekked and the part where she found out about the people that ruined her dress.
“That’s my girl, be expecting the surprise as soon as we land in Australia” he promised.
“Yay, I am so excited!” Dorothy exclaimed.
“I wonder what the surprise is, can you give me a hint?” She asked.
“It is not a surprise anymore if I give you a hint,” Calvin replied.
“Yes it would, please tell me” she pleaded.
“Nope, no amount of begging is going to make me give you a hint,” he said.
Dorothy continued with the begging until Calvin gave her just a tiny bit of a hint.
He told her that the surprise had to do with the competition, “you shouldn’t have said the hint, you ended up confusing me” she said to him.
“Then just wait till you see the surprise,” Calvin said.
She then gave up begging and snuggled up to him.
“Wait, so what you are saying that my brother eat Chinese food with his wife and now he is sick?” Kelly asked Levi, who was getting tired with her questions.
She came earlier to his room but didn’t see him, she left and came back again and he was telling her that Calvin was sick.
“Yes,” Levi replied ten times in a row.
“What a fool, he should have just told Doll that he was sick instead of eating it,” she said.
