Harold walked into the library after he had knocked. He sat down on the chair that was in front of Mrs Wilson and handed some files to her.
"So did you see the youth organiser?" Mrs Wilson asked.
"Yes, ma'am I did. He said you will hear from him in two days time," Harold replied.
"Good. I really want him to start with the campaign as soon as he can because I want to win this election fair and square."
"You will win, ma'am. You deserve to win it," Harold complimented her.
"So, have you seen Denise? She just came back and would not stop asking about you. Please, you can go back to her before she cuts my head off for holding you all to myself."
Harold smiled. "I already spoke to her. She is fine. Anyway, ma'am. Is there something you would like me to do for you?"
"No, Harold. That would be all. Thank you so much for today. You can go," Mrs Wilson said.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Harold left the library and joined Denise at the living room. Denise smiled at him and leaned on him as she put her laptop on the table beside the chair. Harold wrapped his hand around her and held her closed to him. She in turn, wrapped her arms around him and leaned on his chest, while her legs were curled up on the chair.
"Will you be going somewhere tomorrow night?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"I want to take you somewhere after we close from work."
"Really? Where?" Denise raised her head slightly, to look into Harold's face.
"It's a surprise. You will know once we get there," Harold answered.
He kissed Denise's lips when she pouted a little. She wanted Harold to tell her where he wanted to take her but he continued to shake his head as he continued to kiss her.
"Do you know how much I enjoy kissing you?"
"If it is any consolation, I enjoy kissing you too. I love you, Harry," Denise replied.
"Then I am about to kiss you again."
Harold kissed Denise deeper this time, pushing his tongue slowly into her mouth as she sucked on it. She moaned a little and Harold almost giggled as she did that. He loved the way she moaned, so he held her closer to her. And continued kissing her even deeply than before. He was not harsh about it. Instead, his kiss held so much passion and love. Harold realised he going a bit too far so he slowly broke the kiss.
Denise was totally lost in all the bliss. She pouted again when Harold pulled away.
"Harry, why did you pull away? I was beginning to enjoy the kiss even more."
"I know. That is why I pilled away. I love you Denise. And I want to show you that I love you. I do not want us to do anything we might regret later. Our relationship is still young and I want us to take our time. I hope you understand me," Harold explained.
"But, I want you to kiss me a little bit more, please," Denise said and held the back of Harold's neck softly. She slowly pulled him in for another kiss.
Harold just pecked her on the lips and smiled at her. "It's late. We have to go to work tomorrow and also prepare for our date tomorrow. Do you want me to escort you to your room?"
Denise nodded. Harold got up and held his hand toward her to take, but instead, she raised both arms up in the air indicating that she wanted to be carried. Harold smiled again and carried her bridal style to her bedroom.
When they got inside, he gently placed her on her bed, and covered her up with her blanket. He kissed her on her forehead and was about to leave the room, when Denise held his hand.
"Can you please stay with me for a while? I want you to stay here with me," she said.
Harold held her hand and sat by her on the bed.
"Why do you want me to stay here with you?"
"Because I miss you and want you here with me. I don't want to be alone tonight."
"Okay. I will stay with you. But that will be until you close your eyes."
Denise smiled and nodded. But she was not really satisfied with the distance between her and Harold.
"Come, lie on the bed with me. I want you to hold me," she said.
Harold rolled his eyes playfully and shook his head.
"Please, Harry."
"Okay." Harold got up from his seating position and got in bed with Denise who pushed a little over to the other side to make way for Harold.
Once Harold's body touched her bed, she turned herself to face him, then held onto him like her life depended on it. Harold giggled and kissed her forehead once again.
"Do you feel better now?" Harold asked Denise playfully.
Denise just nodded and let out a deep breath. She smiled to herself as she buried face into Harold's chest, inhaling his scent. Before they realised it, they had both fallen asleep as both of them were very tired.
The next day, Harold and Denise left the house early. Denise had an early morning meeting with some suppliers and wanted to finish her deal with them quickly before moving on to other things. Harold was standing by to car with the security guard, talking about football and politics, when a lady approached them both.
"Hello, sorry. I am looking for a place and I wanted to know if i am at the right place."
Both men turned their attention to the woman and looked at her. Harold eyes went wide when he saw who was standing before him. Before the woman could say who she was looking for, Harold beat her to it.
"Matilda? Is that you?"
The lady, Matilda, stared at Harold before she recognised him.
"Harold?" she looked at him in surprise.
