07. The Outing.

Morning

"Hey, baby. What's up?" Nick asked happily talking on the phone. "Yes sure.... okay... But I'm kinda busy right now...later." he hung up the phone with a smile on his face. "Hey man." Patrick walked into the kitchen. "Hey. How's Destiny?" Nick asked, making coffee. "Better." Patrick sighed. "The priest must be here any minute." Nick turned his face towards the clock. A whole hour passed by, they kept on waiting for the priest but he didn't show up. "Let me call him." Nick dialled his number and waited for him to pick. "Hello? Mr Stephenson? Where are you? We are......What?" his expressions somehow changed into shock. After talking on the phone, he took a deep breath. "What's happening?" Patrick asked worriedly. "The priest.....he's dead," Nick informed. Both of them were standing in fidgety until Destiny walked down and asked, "What's the matter?" they quickly made a smiling face. "Nothing. Just thinking about what to cook for the Princess." Patrick winked. "I am really hungry. Bring whatever it is," she said and sit on the chair. Nick and Patrick were whispering in the kitchen. "Seriously guys? What's with the gossip?" she asked annoyed. "Here." Patrick came with a plate full of pancakes. "I want cheese omelette," Destiny said. "Coming right up," Nick shouted from the kitchen. Patrick came with cheese omelette, bacon and sausages, bread and boiled eggs and a bowl full of fresh fruits. "Mmmmmhmmmmm..." she moaned while eating breakfast. "Pass me the maple syrup please." Destiny turned her face towards Patrick who was staring her blankly. "Sure, love. But don't ever do that again," he said. "What?" she asked unaware with a mouthful of pancakes. "Oh, that! I can't help enjoying the delicious food," she added. When Nick, Patrick and Destiny were sitting in the dining table having breakfast, both of them were shocked to the little girl eating each and everything. They were whispering something slowly. "What is it that my boys can't handle?" she asked in curiosity. "Nothing just college stuff," Nick said sheepishly. "There's a priest. I know the first one is dead. I think we may need another one." Patrick suggested whispering. "Yeah okay. Bring him." Nick nodded. "Well. After eating all this. I think I'm gonna take a nap or something." Destiny yawned and walked upstairs. "Well. Destiny's birthday is also coming." Patrick said. "Yea," Nick said. Patrick came back home after three hours. "What took you so long?" Nick asked. "I searched for him and gave him the address. He'll be here soon." Patrick said explaining. "Who?" Destiny walked down asking. Just then the doorbell ring and Nick opened the door. "Hello. Mr George." Nick welcomed him shaking hands. "Hello," he replied looking here and there. "So, is this the girl?" he walked on whispering. Nick nodded and followed him inside. "Who are you?" Destiny asked furrowing her brows. "A friend of mine," Patrick replied. "You can go upstairs," Nick suggested. The priest was giving her dirty looks. "Friend? I haven't seen him before." she murmured walking upstairs. "Uhm...so?" Patrick cleared his throat. "As I entered this house, I saw black shadows roaming. I can't tell what exactly it is but the solution to this is marriage." explained the priest. "Marriage?" Nick asked narrowing his brows. "Yes. Her marriage with this man." the priest gestured towards Patrick. "But sir. She's not even an adult yet." Patrick said. "If not marriage then get engaged with her. She will not kill anyone then." suggested the priest.

After the priest went back, Nick and Patrick were planning for Destiny's birthday. Suddenly, she walked down and asked them, "What are you both doing? God, I'm bored..." she said in a boring tone. "Go and have some fun with Patrick. I'm going to bring Cindy back." Nick suggested. After a few minutes, Nick went out. "Come on, Des. Hurry up." Patrick shouted waiting for her in the living room. She walked down in a knee-length black and blue floral print sleeveless frock. Her hair was tied in a simple ponytail. Destiny was looking a natural beauty. "Every time I saw you get ready. You amaze me, woman." Patrick smiled. Hearing this, Destiny's cheeks turned red. "Are you blushing?" he teased her. "Shut up, Patrick." she hit him in the chest. "Okay. Destiny." he said in a fake heavy voice. "So... where are we going?" Destiny asked sitting in the passenger seat. "I heard it somewhere that when a woman's mood is off, take her for shopping. It helps to cheer up their mood." he smiled. When they reached the shopping mall, he opened the door of her side. "So, you're a gentleman now, too." she held his hand saying in a sarcastic tone. "There are many different sides of me, you just wish to see." he whispered in a low seductive voice. Destiny looked up in his emerald green eyes while holding hands with him. "I would like to see each one of them." she whispers seducing him back. He chuckled and said, "You are something, woman. I'm after you for a reason." he winked her. "Now.. if you're done flirting. Shall we go inside?" she said. They were roaming in the mall until Destiny found a girl clothing store and went inside while Patrick followed her. She was going through some frocks, as she couldn't decide which one to buy, so she asked for Patrick's opinion. "Try them." Patrick said. She went to the changing room, wore a dress and came back asking. He made an awkward face, she immediately understood that he doesn't like it, so she went in again to try the different one. After trying more than ten dresses, Patrick chose five to six frocks, some tops and jeans for her. "Give it to me." Patrick took all the shopping bags from her hand. Destiny saw the ladies shop and went inside, Patrick also followed her inside. All the ladies there stared both Patrick and Destiny angrily. "Ma'am please ask your husband to wait outside." the salesgirl said. Destiny, who had no idea that he was behind her, turned back and stared him blankly. "What the f**k, Patrick. Don't you know it's a ladies shop?" she whispered. "I was just following you. I didn't realized....." Patrick protested. "Well, my husband just loves me a lot and we wanted to help me choose the right one." Destiny turned towards the girl and explained nervously. "Sure, ma'am. For couples, we have a separate area. Please come this way." the girl chuckled and showed them the way. "I can't leave you alone." Patrick whispered in her ear. "Yea, right." she said annoyed. When the girl took them inside, Patrick's eyes widened seeing the hot and sexy lingerie's and nightwear. "Close your mouth." Destiny whispered angrily. Patrick walked towards sexy red lingerie and said," I can't wait to see you in this." Destiny glanced him. "Ma'am, what would you like to try? We have lace bra and panties, nightgowns, lingerie, sports bra." said the girl. "Lingeries, please." Patrick quickly replied. "Lace bra, please." Destiny glanced him, then said. The salesgirl nodded and said," What's your size, Ma'am?" "32." Patrick immediately replied. Destiny stares his shock. "What? I know you since childhood. I kinda raised you." he said casually. "It's a good thing your husband knows so much about you." the salesgirl smiled and showed her the designs in the catalogue. "Yea. You know she's always confused when it comes to shopping." Patrick replied smiling at Destiny. "He really is something." Destiny thought to herself. "This one. These two.... and that one... that nude colour and three sports bras please." Patrick pointed towards the magazine and said. A few minutes later, the girl came in with those bras and handed it to Destiny. "Please try them." she walked in the changing room, while Patrick was standing out. "Hello? Could you please help me with the strap?" Destiny shouted from inside. "I guess your wife is calling you inside." said the salesgirl and left from there. Patrick walked inside and locked the door, Destiny was looking down holding the straps of the bra, struggling to close it. "Could you close the strap, please? I can't do it." she pleaded. Patrick slowly moved her hair from the back and brushed his hands on her bareback. A current passed down on Destiny's body giving her goosebumps. She raised her eyes and saw in the mirror. It was Patrick who was standing beside her. "You! Where is that girl?" she asked awkwardly. He didn't said a word just closed the straps of her bra and looked her in the mirror. Her cheeks turned pink feeling his touch. He took a few steps closer, putting his hands at her stomach, hugging her from behind. "P-Patrick...." she nervously said. "Where is that feisty girl I know?" he whispered in her ears in a low voice sending shivers down in her body. He kissed softly at her shoulder. "I want to be with you more than anything in the world." he whispered in a low husky voice. "You're so perfect." he added admiring her body in the mirror. Destiny turned her body to him, stared deeply in his eyes and said,"stop...it." she lowered her gaze, blushing. "Why? Am I turning you on?" he asked moving her hair strand. Then, in a moment, their lips collided, telling how much they wanted each other. After five minutes of such a passionate kiss, they broke it to breath. "You want anything else?" Patrick asked touching his nose to hers. "No." she nodded closing her eyes. Destiny wore her clothes back while Patrick paid for the things. "Good thing you guys came out early. The couples took a lot of time in there making out." the salesgirl smiled. Patrick chuckled and rubbed his chin while Destiny blushed to avoid eye contact with the salesgirl. When both of them stepped out of the shop, burst into laughter.

"You know, you should see his face. All embarrassed. And I didn't even know he was standing beside me until the girl told me." Destiny laughed. "God! Such an adorable moment." Cindy winked. "People there thought I'm her husband." Patrick walked in the living room handling a cup of coffee to Destiny. "Then?" Nick asked. "Then what? We played along." Destiny laughed taking a sip of her coffee. "Baby. Tomorrow is my ultrasound." Cindy reported to Nick. "I know," said Nick. "Destiny please make your signature red velvet cake. I'm craving for it." Cindy pouted. "Sure thing mommy." Destiny winked snapping her fingers and walked to the kitchen. "I'm going to rest a bit as this young lady made me roam in the shopping mall," Patrick said exhausted. "You.....come and help me in the kitchen," Destiny ordered him. "Do I even have a choice?" he sighed. They both started making the cake, she beat the eggs while he was mixing the flour in it slowly. "One more spoon." She said. Patrick was holding a bowl of flour, his foot slipped and suddenly the flour was all over Destiny's face and hair. He started laughing. "What the hell, Patrick?" she said annoyed. "I knew you were trouble," she added shouting. "Sorry," he said controlling his laugh. She grabbed the flour container and poured it all in his head. "Uhm...uhm..." he coughed staring her. She started giggling seeing him like this. "You....." he said and walked towards her and she started running. They were running in the kitchen around the counter. "You started it." she ran shouting. "I didn't do it on purpose." he protested and ran after her. "You messed up my hair, young lady," he added. "What is all this shouting about?" Nick and Cindy came worried. "What a mess!" said Cindy. "What are you guys, five?" Nick furrowed his brows. "One of us is." Patrick replied. "Yes. He is." Destiny gestured towards Patrick. "No, you are," he replied. "Okay enough," Nick shouted annoyed. "You guys are kids."Cindy laughed. "And you both are our parents." chuckled Destiny.
