"Tess, I need to use the dining room for something tonight" Andrew said looking at Tess and smiling. Tess looked back at him "What for?" she asked. "It's for something for Monica" he replied.
Tess was still a bit curious about what Andrew was planning. What could be so important? "Also I have another favour" he said "Can you go out this evening?" Tess turned around and stared at him "I don't mind you using the dining room but I would like to stay here" she replied.
"Anyway what are you gong to do?" "I haven't spent much time with Monica recently and I want to cook her a meal and spend some time alone with her" he sighed. Tess nodded "Well I suppose I'll go out somewhere tonight" she smiled.
Andrew spent the next two hours deciding what to cook. He finally decided to make spaghetti and meat sauce. He then thought what else he could do to make it special.
Monica came home from shopping to find all the lights turned off. She opened the door and found Andrew waiting for her. He took to hands and led her into the dining room. "Tess has gone out so I can have some time alone with you" he smiled.
Monica looked around the room. She was amazed by what Andrew had done. He had made dinner and had lit candles all around the room. "Oh, Andrew, you really didn't have to do this" she smiled as she sat down. Andrew sat opposite her "Well do you like it?" Monica smiled at him "It's wonderful".
Once they had eaten, they sat on the sofa and Andrew run his fingers through Monica's hair "I'm sorry I haven't spent much time with you lately" he sighed. Monica hugged him "Well you're here now and that's all that matters".
Tess returned to find them both sleeping on the sofa. She got a blanket and put it over them, kissed them both goodnight, and then went to bed herself.
Monica woke a few minuets later and kissed Andrew's head. She pulled the blanket over her and Andrew, and put her arm around him "Goodnight" she whispered.
The End
