Chapter 44 - First Date

"Well, be cool Belle." Avina patted her shoulders from the back.

"We are helping them to have a baby soon. When he managed to impregnate her, your baby will have a new friend and we all can celebrate another life." Added Avina again.

"Hmm..." Belle hummed softly. "Well, if that's the case, I will keep my mouth shut."

Rosey glanced back at her and smiled, "Let's compete on who had the most kids among us. What say you?" She suggested.

Belle looked up and smiled, "Well, I already have one point now since I am currently pregnant." She caressed her stomach.

"Well, when I get home, I will pounce on my husband!" Shireen interrupted. "Rosey, you had better give those pills to me."

"Excuse me! Both of you are too intense already." Rosey snorted from the driver's seat. "That pills are only suitable for that two pure couple who was totally green about love life."

Laughter filled the black Mercedes as it made it's way to the airport.

Also, at the same time back in the villa...

"Let's go out for a date since it's Sunday." Hue said and walked towards Jennet at the living-room.

Jennet shook her head. "No, I am tired. I need to sleep to store more energy for tomorrow." She said and turned on the TV.

"Then, how about we continue what we couldn't do last night?" He suggested and sat beside her.

Jennet moved away from him. "Stay away from me." She said and turned her head towards the TV again. Her cheeks were blushing red but she acted as nothing happened.

Her mind kept recalling about the embarrassing moment she went through last night. She had touched his body and she felt so miserable about it.

Never in her twenty plus years, she ever laid her hands on a man. She was, even more, worse to have touched this man's most private area to relieve his agony.

'You should take responsibility.' Those words kept echoing in her ears.

Responsibility... Responsibility... The words haunted her, tormenting her mind.

For once in her life, she felt so scared of taking the responsibility but, she had actually laid her hands on him last night.

'Maybe that's how those women felt after they are taken advantage of. They wanted the harasser to take responsibility for their action. Am I considered a harasser?' She sighed on the sofa.

Hue was pulling a long face since she ignored him. He leaned closer to her, "Wife?" He called her again.

Jennet jumped in her seat. She immediately pushed his face away, making him stumble back on his butt on the sofa.

She quickly stood on her feet and said, "Okay, I am taking the responsibility!"

She stared at him with both hands turn to fist my her sides.

Hue blinked at her. "What?" Did he hear the wrong thing today?

He frowned. What are you saying out if the blue, wife? Taking responsibility for what?

"I am saying that I am taking the responsibility!" She repeated. She was half shouting at him. Her face got even redder now.

"We're going for a date today as per your wish!" She added and dashed away from the living-room.

Hue blinked alone. He eyed the women who had disappeared into the bedroom upstairs. What had gotten into her so suddenly?

He turned off the TV and headed upstairs. Peeking inside the room, he found her taking out a black turtleneck shirt from the wardrobe.

"Why change clothes?" He asked from the door. He stepped in and frowned at the clothes in her hand.

Jennet turned her red-faced at him, "I just want to change my clothes." Then, she turned away.

Hue spotted the red marks on her neck. Oh, she wanted to hide those marks? He wanted to tease her again.

"Then, what should I do with my clothes then? I can't hide this embarrassing red marks on my neck." He broke the awkwardness with another realization.

Jennet froze. She turned her face and found him pointing to his neck, showing her the deep red marks that were in contrast to his fair skin.

"I..." She was speechless. If she hid hers then how can she hide his? It was a very deep red mark just below his jawline.

She gripped harder on the shirt. 'It's useless to hide it after all.' She thought. At last, she put the shirt back inside the wardrobe.

"We're going for a date without changing anything." She said while taking her phone and wallet from the table.

But then, she halted and turned her face at him, "Will you harm people around you today?" She asked.

Hue chuckled. "Don't worry, wife. No one will be hospitalized." He explained with a wide smile.

He had his charm power under control since what she did last night was helping him to suppress his power. But, he's not going to tell her anything about his power unless she found out about it.

He felt so happy today because she actually said 'yes' to his selfish request to go out for a date. He was actually trying his luck to gain her attention but who knows she agreed to it so easily.

"So, where do you want to go?" Jennet asked as she drove the car out of the villa compound.

"To the cinema! I want to watch love stories as a normal couple does." Said Hue. "Then, I want us to eat popcorn of love together!" He squealed with excitement.

Jennet kept silent beside him. Her expression was dead but there's nothing she could do about his excitement. She's currently taking the responsibility so she had to make sure he didn't speak about taking the responsibility again.

When they arrived at the cinema, there was already a long line at the counter. Jennet had never been on a date before so she was so awkward, standing in the line beside Hue.

Since Hue was so tall, he was the one who was standing out the most in the crowd. They became the center of attraction again. Every eye was looking at them.

His warm smiling face made those around them drooled with love flying in their eyes. He stood majestically beside Jennet who was worrying nonstop.

'Hope no one is being hospitalized!' She prayed hard.

Hue glanced at her worried face and lean towards her, "Wife, no one is going to the hospital today. Don't worry." He whispered softly.

"Who's worried? I am not worried!" She protested strongly. How can he know what's on her mind?

Hue smiled at her with delight. "Well, if you're not worried, you should enjoy our date." He said, whispering in her ear.

Jennet bit her lip tightly. She straightened her back and looked straight to the counter up front, ignoring Hue again.

Suddenly Hue wrapped his right arm around her waist pulling her closer towards his body. She glared at him in annoyance.

"What are you doing?" She growled behind gritted teeth.

Hue smiled and said, "There are so many insects around that harbored intention to eat you, my lovely wife." His tone was cold and sinister.

Jennet looked around and a few of the males in the line were smiling at her while looking at her body. She looked away, ignoring their stare. Creepy!

She could only think of their smile as creepy. No one had actually paid any attention to her. Everyone tends to take no care of her existence in the society. But, today, she found quite a number was looking at her from top to bottom as if evaluating her body.

Once again, she felt so scared of those around her. Did she make another mistake by going out with Hue?

"Wife..." Hue's melodious voice called out to her.

Jennet snapped to reality and realized they had now stood at the ticketing counter.

She looked at Hue in a daze. "What do you pick?" She asked before Hue could ask about her opinion.

"Whatever you pick, my wife." He replied to her. "I will watch whatever you wanted and accompanied you till the end of it."

The girl at the ticketing counter blushed when she heard Hue said his replies to Jennet.

However, Jennet was eyeing the blushing girl at the counter. There was an unhappy feeling gnawing at her heart.

Hastily, she grabbed Hue's hand and held them tightly in front of the girl. She was telling the girl that the man was already taken!

Hue was quite shaken by her unexpected gestures. She was doing the same action as yesterday. Will she denied their status as always?

Hue was happy but his heart twinged with sadness. What can he do to make her realized their relationship is valid and real?

"Hue, you said you wanted to watch love story so we're going to watch one." Said Jennet, shattering his sadness to pieces all at once.

Hue smiled widely and nodded his head happily.

"Yes, wife!" He answered and tightened his grip on her waist.

"Well, since this is our first date, I will try to accommodate to all your request." Said Jennet. She purchased two tickets for a love story and then pulled him away to buy popcorn and drinks.

"Wife, will you accommodate my selfish request for a kiss?" Hue whispered in her ear after they took their seat in the cinema.

Responsibility... Responsibility... The words flew around her head, reminding her.

Jennet coughed softly. "Ehem, I'll do it when we're alone." She said and focused her eyes on the huge screen.

Since it was dark, no one saw how red her face was after saying all of those words which consumed all of her might to let it out flawlessly.

Hue wanted to shriek with happiness but he held them within. He snuggled closer to her with a wide smile over his handsome face. His head rested on her shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her arm.

"Wife, please make sure you keep your words and make me happy." He said to her.
