They got out of the car Nathan walked over to her side helping her to walk up the steps.

" I'm good don't worry I can walk." he just smiled and unlocked the door they walked in and Marlene's eyes were all over the place. they took of their shoes and took of their coats.

" I thinking if your not too tired we can head out get something to eat then maybe do some shopping??"

" I can cook something if you want ."

" the kitchen is empty I think we'll just have to go grocery shopping as well "

" well then let's be on our way then." the headed back to the car and went to the mall.

" I'll go get the groceries you go do your shopping. " he gave her his credit card and for a moment she couldn't quiet understand why he was doing this. Without much of a word he turned and went towards the shop then he remembered he had to get her a cell phone first .

" Marlene , " she called after her . She turned towards him " I think we'd better get you a cell phone first. just in case you need anything. " she couldn't quite complain about anything though she reluctantly agreed . After buying the phone he put his number in her phone and went his way .

" call me when your done ." he was sure he did not have a clue if what he needed to buy but as long as they were fruits and vegetables he was good. it didn't take so long until Marlene called her

" is everything good over their? " he asked

" yeah , I'm done over here."

" I'm still in the grocery shop do you know where that is ? "

" yeah I see it I'll be right with you " for a moment there he was happy coz he wasn't good at grocery shopping. a few seconds later she walked in the store

" you do your shopping fast "

" I didn't know I was supposed to max out your credit card . "

" well I thank you for not maxing out my credit card " she handed over the card

" are you sure you got everything you needed ?? "

" don't worry about me , wait what are those called ?" she towards the trolley ,

" tinny cabbages? " she laughed holding them up ,

" brussel sprouts , your more of the take out guy aren't you? " he lowered his head in shame," why don't you go buy some snacks I trust you know how they look like , I'll finish up with the groceries ." he chuckled and walked away .

" not a man of many words I guess." she shrugged and proceeded with the shopping . Nathan was back almost immediately ,

" do you like dark or white chocolate?"

" white , do you prefer thick or light cream?"

"what is the difference ? "

" never mind that, I'll get back to it shall I " only then did he notice her British accent . He started wondering how she got herself to Australia . he went away a while later she over to him

"what type of cheese do you fancy I for one find mozzarella a little but more easier to work with but......"

"you get whatever you want heck you can buy the whole store if it pleases you." for some reason that oddly satisfied her. they kept going back and forth inquiring the others preferences when all was done they headed back to the car with a while lot of bags

" I think we emptied your bank account now." they put the bags in the back.

" don't you worry about my bank account , " they headed back home . The excitement on Marlene's face was simply enlightening they got in the house.
