Chapter 15 - Request

It was a Saturday. Hailey woke up with so much energy. She was willing to do anything at that point. She got up from bed and ran downstairs. She met Jeremy and his friend Kevin discussing.Hailey came into the living room. She was warmly welcomed by Jeremy and his guest.

"Good morning Hailey. I hope you had a good night rest?" Jeremy asked.

"Yes I did Jeremy! Thanks for asking." Jeremy gave out his usual smirk.

"Hailey I'd like you to meet me my friend Kevin ." He introduced her to him.

"A pleasure to meet you Kevin ." She said to him.

"The pleasure is all mine, Hailey!" They exchanged handshake.

"I must admit Jeremy. You really have a beautiful wife!" He confessed. Jeremy gave him a stern look.

"Yes indeed." He replied. Hailey said nothing to both of them. She just observed Jeremy's countenance.

"Excuse me guys. I will be with you soon!" She said. The young men let her go and continued their friendly discussion.

Hailey went upstairs to freshen up. She had her bath and dressed up in casual clothes. Few minutes later, she returned and joined the two friends. They were so occupied with their discussion that they barely even noticed her presence. "Ehmm. Ehmm!" She cleared her throat drawing their attention to her.

"Welcome back Hailey!" Kelvin welcomed her. She sat down reading a book while the two friends continued their chat.

The trio headed to the dinning room when a maid came to inform them that breakfast was ready. As always, Jeremy served her and served himself.

"I see Jeremy is trying to be a really good husband." He teased. Hailey only smiled.

"I guess so." She replied to him. Kelvin laughed and Hailey followed suit.

"Enough guys! Let's eat!" Jeremy said cutting the fun short.They all ate together quietly. Breakfast tasted really good and everyone enjoyed the meal.

"The food really tastes good!" Kevin admitted.

"Really good!" Hailey chipped in. Jeremy couldn't believe Hailey was getting very well with Kelvin. He observed the two. After breakfast, Kevin decided to take his leave.

"I better get going Jeremy. I've got things to do. Catch you later bro!" He said to Jeremy and they hugged each other.

"It's been a pleasure meeting you miss Hailey!" He said to her.

"You too Kevin !" She replied. Jeremy and Hailey escorted him out of the house. He entered his car and zoomed off. Jeremy turned to go into the house. Hailey held his hand.

"What now Hailey?" He asked.

"I have a request Jeremy!"

"Say it!"

"It's a Saturday Jeremy. I wanted us to go out!"

"Okay. Where would you like to go?" He asked. Hailey paused to think.

"Let's go to the zoo!" What the f**k! Of all places to go to, she chose the zoo. This girl was unbelievable.

"Sorry Hailey. I ain't going to the zoo with you!" Hailey made puppy eyes in front of him.

"Please, you said you would do anything I want to make me happy!" Damn! He cursed within himself. This girl never forgot something.

"Okay, fine. I'll go with you. Just to make you happy." He said and Hailey smiled in victory.
