Chapter 2: Where the challenge begins


"Morning!" greeted Torrie as she put her newspaper down on the dinning table when she saw John come out from the bedroom, in only his boxer shorts.

"Morning..." he yawned as he stretched.

"You may want to put some shorts on..." winked Torrie as she looked down at him.

"Whatever..." he shrugged as the walked groggily to the refrigerator, opening it to find nothing.

"There's no food in there John..."

"WHAT?!" he shrieked in shock. "I'm starving! How can we not have food? This is insane!"

"Chill!" said Torrie calming him down.

"How can I chill, woman?" he asked. "There's no food!"

"There's pizza here!" she said pointing to a box of pizza in front of her.

"Oh my God," he sighed as he hurried over to her and planted a kiss on her cheek. "I knew I married you for a reason!"

"You married me so I would order you pizza for breakfast eh?" asked Torrie.

"No!" he said stuffing his face with pizza. "I love you!"

"Whatever!" she chuckled as she went back to reading the paper.

"Isn't this place great?" he asked Torrie as he chucked the empty pizza box in the dustbin. He sat down next to her at the table and wiped his greasy mouth with his shirtsleeve.

"Eww! Don't ever do that again!" scolded Torrie as she shuddered. "You are so gross!"

"Hey the male species tend to do that sort of thing y'know?" he said casually before Torrie gave him a fierce look. "But I'm willing to change for you of course!"

"This is our first home," sighed Torrie dreamily as she gazed into space, suddenly changing her mood. "This is where our life starts..."

"Yeah," smiled John as he held her hand tightly.

"This is where the challenge begins," she grinned, "In the mornings, you'll wake up to a nice breakfast set up on this table. We'll get a dog and train him to hand you your newspaper every morning...and you can smoke your pipe whilst reading it! And I'll serve you coffee... it's going to be great!"

"You're great," said John as he kissed her hand intently. "I think I'm the luckiest man in the world to have you,"

"I'm equally lucky to have you," said Torrie coyly.

"Nah, I'm luckier," he said. "I get to wake up to you every morning, you're more beautiful that anything in this world, I can't explain how I feel inside when I see you in the mornings, you're like my reason for living. I live to see you everyday, and I live to love you,"

"You're so sweet," she cooed, their heads moved closer and closer, his hands were around her waist, her hands were around his neck, slowly pulling him closer. They both closed their eyes getting ready for a sweet little kiss when...

RIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGG!!!

They opened their eyes took their hands off of each other.

"What the f-" cursed John but he was interrupted by...

"HEY KIDS!" greeted Torrie's father.

"Dad..." said an unenthusiastic Torrie. She looked at him in shock and quickly moved further away from John.

"I see what you two are up to now!" he winked. "Go get 'em girl!"

"Dad please..." sighed Torrie.

"Hi Mr. Wilson," said John politely as he offered his father-in-law his hand, to shake it.

"Oh come on John! We're family now! Call me Al! Or Dad even!" chuckled Al as he pulled John into a manly hug and as they broke apart, John got a smack on his behind and it wasn't from Torrie...

"Dad what are you doing here?" asked Torrie questioningly.

"Oh I came to drop by these keys!" answered Al as he casually pulled out some car keys.

"So?" said Torrie, not really getting his point.

"Hello! Car keys? BMW, you know what that is?" asked Al.

"Yes sir, I mean er... dad. BMW is a car brand!" John answered confidently.

"Yes John, you are correct... my daughter married a smart boy!" Al joked as he patted John hardly on his back. He then handed the keys to John. "Here are the keys... son!"

"But Mr. Wilson, I can't accept these!" said John as he looked at the car keys in his hand as if they were a foreign object.

"Oh take it!" said Al as he grabbed John's hands and forced the keys into the palm of his hand.

"But sir I-"

"John we're family now, take it son!"

"But sir, we can afford a car!"

"Nonsense it's a gift! Take it!"

"No sir, please!"

"It's a gift from me, do not refuse it John!"

"But sir no, it's a car! A BMW!"

"Yes I think we've established that John, now take the car!"

"I'LL TAKE IT!" shouted an annoyed Torrie as she snatched the keys off of John and pinched her dad's arm before walking into her bedroom. The two men watched her leave with the keys to brand-new BMW.

"John, I have to go..." sighed Al as he patted his shoulder and approached the door. "Do us a favor and learn to control your woman!"
