Together Part8

"I was on the phone making frantic calls to our friend Casey Medsker-Saban when I heard the sound of the door being unlocked. He came back, finally, and although my first thought was absolute relief that nothing had actually happened, my gaze soon fell on the myriad bags of...stuff that he held in his hands. Convenience store bags, filled with an assortment of snacks, microwaveable gyoza and cans of coffee. He was also holding in his other hand what was clearly an assortment of packed oden, still warm despite the chilly outside air.

"Where were you?" I wanted to ask but the worry I had faced when uncertain of my husband's safety and whereabouts turned to anger in an instant, and it was all I could do to keep silent instead of exploding at the figure standing in the doorway, holding supper.

It was beyond me how some people can be totally ignorant of others around him, selfishly thinking about food when others worry. If he was that unsatisfied with my cooking he could have at least told me so. No wonder there was leftover karaage after dinner. I turned about and made my way through the apartment, heading to the bedroom. I had had enough; it was late and tomorrow was a workday, meaning that I could already look forward to a tired commute on the packed morning train. "The dishes are in the sink. Turn off the lights when you're done," I said tersely before going in to the bedroom. The man can do the dishes for once; I certainly do all the cooking. I slammed the door shut behind me, forgetting for an instant that Casey was asleep in the next room. I realised my mistake a second later but the creak of his bedroom door and his light footsteps moments later confirmed that I had indeed woken him, as a brief round of expletives temptingly crept up to the edge of my tongue.

"What's going on mommy?" he peeked in through the door to ask. I moved towards him, bending down and offering a hug in place of a proper answer. "Mommy and daddy are fighting again" isn't something you willingly tell your child late at night before a school day. Besides, if anyone should be offering any explanations Mr. I Got Supper can provide. He should be well enough equipped for that much."

I just got a convenience store from my house.



7 11; by calltheambulance; CCL

I came to here for buying Gyoza because my wife wants to eat it for a weekend.
I also want to drink some coffee (I kinda have to do my work after I get home).

When I entered to the store, I suddenly found Oden in front of the cashier.
It looked so good, and I remembered that my wife told me she likes Oden too.
hmmm, maybe she will be happy if I buy it for her.(Today is kinda cold also!!)
well before I buy Oden, I decided to look around the store.

I could found some snacks which Casey loves to eat.
I grabbed the snacks, Gyoza and coffee, and brought them to cashier.
During settling the bills, I ordered some Odens for my wife.
I hope she is not going to be fat...

When I left the store, it has already been 30 minutes since I left home.
I did not think it takes so long, so I did not bring my phone.
However, my wife might really worry about me...(Yeah I can imagine that she might call me a few times already...)

I should go home as quickly as possible.
I just walk little bit fast that usual...
