Neil's POV
I woke up to the sound of a metal thing dropping to the floor with a loud shriek to follow.
"ugh…" I grunted as I slowly sat up. As I rubbed my sleepy eyes open, I looked around our room.
Geez, was our room always this messy?
I mean, there was dust all around, the picture frames weren't quite aligned, and—was that hole always there? I don't know. How can Rio live in this kind of environment? I think I haven't told her yet, but I've have OCD about cleaning. Don't know what that is? Well, it stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and I get freaked out or frustrated if some things aren't in order. I wonder why my OCD didn't kick in these past couple of weeks after I was married. Maybe I was too distracted by her charm and her beauty—what am I saying.
Anyway, I stood up and went out the door to see Rio setting the table for breakfast.
"Good morning Neil!" she greeted with her signature smile on her face.
"Morning." I replied coldly while sitting on the chair.
Coldly? Why coldly? Because I'm really bummed out about the condition of our home you know.
"Hmm… You seem glum today. Is everything alright? Is there something bothering you?" Rio asked while narrowing her eyes and leaning in to my face.
Hell yeah there's something bothering me. LOOK AROUND. I thought to myself and giving her the cold shoulder mentally.
She leaned out and looked around her. "…It's the house isn't it? The way it's always so messy and untidy?" she inquired looking down at me again. It's as if she can read my mind… either way she's right and I wish it would come to her senses that we should really do spring cleaning today.
I nodded and stabbed the pancake with my fork and put it in my mouth to prevent any more harsh words from coming out.
Rio sighed loudly as she sat down on her chair across the table. "You know, we could do spring cleaning today and fix this place up." She declared as she put the scrambled eggs in her mouth.
I almost choked on my water as she said those words. Okay Neil you're going insane now.
She really CAN read minds! Well… At least she can read yours.
She noticed my weird actions and laughed. "Neil, are you really okay? You seem to be acting… weird today." I straightened my back and said "um.. Yeah, yeah I'm fine."
We stared at each other for 4 seconds.
"So, when are we going to start our spring cleaning?" Rio asked. "Today. After I finish my pancakes." I replied as I munched on my last piece of pancake.
"Haha, okay." Rio said as she stood up and cleaned the table.
This is gonna be a long day.
