Hello dear readers! Sorry for the long wait, I have been super busy and I also took a break from writing for a while. But I am back, and will be back to updating once a week(hopefully). Now, the moment you have all been waiting for(okay, probably not), a new chapter! ENJOY!

Teresa sat enjoying her turkey sandwich, while Patrick drank a soda. After a, well, long shower they had settled down to enjoy lunch in the kitchen. Patrick had produced sandwich supplies and drinks, and Teresa was impressed to see not only regular turkey and cheddar cheese, but also blue cheese dressing. She loved turkey, cheddar and blue cheese dressing sandwiches. She licked the last bit of dressing off her fingers and looked expectantly at Patrick.

He set his drink down and stared at her. "What?"

Teresa rolled her eyes. "You know what. How did you know that I like blue cheese dressing on my sandwiches? I rarely bring lunch with me to work and I do not think that I have ever brought turkey, cheddar and blue cheese dressing sandwiches. So, how did you know about that?"

Patrick smirked. "I have my ways."

Teresa glared at him. "Ways? What ways? Come on, I think that since I am married to you that I should have insight into your 'ways'."

Patrick winked. "I think that I still have the right to surprise you now and then. Now, what do you want to do for the rest of the day?"

Teresa shook her head, knowing that he was avoiding her question, but decided to let it be. For now. She looked around the living room, which was connected to the kitchen/dining room area. "I don't know. How about we play a game?"

"What kind of game?"

Teresa thought for a moment. "Well, we could play some board games or maybe some more mental type games." Teresa wanted to smack herself for saying the last part, as she watched Patrick's smirk turn into a grin.

"Mental games, huh? What sort of mental games?"

"Well, like," Teresa stammered while trying to think of some game, "um, like truth or dare, or..." Again, mental slapping ensued. Truth or dare? What was she, completely insane? Before she could take back that dreadful suggestion, Patrick had already pounced on the idea.

"Truth or dare? Sounds like the perfect game for our situation. Allows us to get to know one another better, and maybe have some, um, physical fun at the same time."

Teresa groaned as Patrick headed to the more comfortable living room couch. Why, oh why, did she have to think up that game? She might as well just hand Patrick a loaded gun and aim it towards her forehead, that would be less dangerous than playing this game with him. Of course, she could just stick with dare instead of truth(keeping some of her secrets still as secrets), but she was slightly more scared about what he would dare her to do than what personal questions he would ask. No way around it, she would just have to suck it up and hope that she survived the game.

Patrick sat down on the couch and patted the seat beside him. "Come, come. We have much fun ahead of us." Teresa was not comforted by those words, or the big grin plastered on his face. But she still begrudgingly sat down beside him and faced him.

"So, do you want to go first?" She asked.

He shook his head. "No, I think that you should start it off and get the ball rolling."

"Alright. True or dare?"

Patrick smiled. "Truth."

Teresa thought about a question, then asked, "Have you ever pick-pocketed me?"

"Yes." Patrick answered.

Teresa was a bit angry, but not surprised. "When?"

Patrick shook his head. "Sorry, but I think you can only ask one question per turn. My turn now. Truth or dare?"

Teresa was a bit peeved at his answer, but focused on debating the two choices. "Dare," She finally answered.

Patrick pretended to contemplate what he would have her do, making Teresa a little nervous and impatient. Finally, he said, "I dare you to close your eyes and then take a sip of any drink that I give you."

"Okaaaaay." Teresa was not sure what to think of this dare, as Patrick went into the kitchen and came back with a cup.

"Alright, close your eyes." She did so and soon felt some cold liquid brush her lips. She took a sip from the cup that Patrick held for her, and was incredibly surprised to find that it actually tasted good. She opened her eyes to see him smiling. "I knew that you would like it."

"What is it?"

"A special tea mixture that I learned from a friend of a friend. I won't tell you what's in it(I was sworn to secrecy), but rest assured that it is nothing that will kill you."

Teresa rolled her eyes. "Gee, thanks. Alright, back to the game. Truth or dare?"

Two hours later, the two were still playing the game and were much more relaxed.

Okay, a lot relaxed: they had moved around the room as the performed various dares(who knew that Patrick could sing the Star-Spangled Banner while standing on one foot and balancing a pencil on his nose?), and were laughing as they found out new insights into each other(Teresa apparently had a hidden like of Cricket, occasionally watching it on t.v.). They had eventually found a comfortable spot on the floor next to the coffee table and were watching the ceiling fan turn as they asked 'truth or dare?' to each other.

They had kept the questions easy and not too uncomfortable, no deep and dark secrets had been revealed. Teresa was quite pleased to be only answering questions like "Who did you have a crush on as a teen?" and "If the world was about to end and you had to choose only one dessert, which would it be: chocolate ice cream or chocolate candy?". Jane seemed to be keeping the mind games to a minimum, although the dares were a bit strange: kissing while washing the dishes and attempting(miserably) to yodel.

The two finally stopped asking questions and just enjoyed the relaxing rhythm of the fan going around and around. Patrick suddenly sighed and Teresa turned to look at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I was just thinking."

"It's never a good thing when you think."

Patrick smiled a little. "True, my thoughts can be a bit scary at times."

Teresa propped herself up on her elbow. "So, tell me what scary thought you had this time."

Patrick paused before replying. "I was just wondering how this weekend will end. What decision will be made."

Teresa bit her lip. "Well, I haven't been thinking about my final answer much. I want to enjoy out time together and see how I feel Sunday evening. I do promise you that I will have an answer. The specifics I don't know yet."

Patrick turned to meet her gaze. "Thank you for at least trying. To see that you are even considering this to work out is quite impressive to me." He stood up quickly. "Enough talk of that, we are supposed to be enjoying ourselves, not being too serious."

Teresa stood up as well. "What do you have planned next?"

Patrick shrugged, but with a mischievous look in his eyes. "I don't know. I was thinking that we could move back to the bedroom and see what happens from there."

Teresa smiled. "Sounds like a good idea to me."

Okay, that's the end of the chapter. I have hit a bit of writer's block and I am trying to figure out how to proceed with a part of the story. Please bear with me as I figure it out, and if you have any ideas for what you would like to see in the story, feel free to REVIEW this chapter and tell me your idea. Until next chapter, Li Li.
