“Really?” Sani's eyes sparkled in mischief.
I nodded tentatively, getting doubtful of her intention.
“Then, can we go shopping?!”
I relaxed,
“Of course. That’s a pleasant surprise to me by the way. You are getting comfortable in this relationship. I would love to buy...”
But she did not let me finish and waved her hands shuddering slightly,
“No no. I don't want anything. I would never make you go shopping for myself. God no! It’s just that...um...you said you will listen to me.”

“I'm saying let me buy or I will never talk to you.”
“But...”
