Another Gift

"You didn't have to do so much," Kathleen whispered for Pete's ears only as they both walked into the kitchen, while the others ate and listened to music while conversing.

"What does this complaint change? It's not like I'm going to propose to you twice, right?" Pete asked with an amused smile as he leaned his backside against the kitchen counter and signaled for her to come closer to him. 

"Someone could walk in on us," she said, looking behind her self-consciously.

"Come on, I just proposed to you so it is expected that I would be holding you. I'm not saying I want to have sex with you," Pete complained making her raise a brow. 

"Are you trying to control me now because I accepted your proposal? I will just return your ring now now," she threatened making Pete chuckle. 

"Why don't you try it?" Pete dared, making her roll her eyes as she walked over to where he was standing and stood beside him.
