After dinner they put a movie on TV

Do we have any chocolate hidden he asked

No I stopped buying it because you eat it all she replied

I bet you have stashed a bar somewhere he said with a smile

She caved in and left the room for a moment

Returning with a full bar of chocolate and saying

Promise me you will only eat one piece this evening

And promise me you will not go hunting for the hidden stash

I promise he said as he ate his piece in one gulp

She took tiny bites from her piece

Making it last for the whole movie

He kept glancing at the chocolate bar in lust throughout the movie

She said she was proud of him for just eating one piece

I am putting this bar back now she said

They cleared up the kitchen and she got ready for bed

While she was busy he snuck into the office

He had discovered her hiding place just before dinner

In the middle of the bookshelf

Wedged between a guide to Italy and an Indian cook book

He reached up to grab another piece quickly

Horror of horrors it was not there any more

She had moved the chocolate to a different location

He cleaned his teeth and got into bed

She pretended to be asleep

He leaned over to kiss her goodnight

She whispered I knew you would go looking for it again

He said nothing and just sighed

You can have another piece tomorrow she said

She kissed him goodnight and said I love you

Love you too he replied somewhat reluctantly

That night he had a dream about eating loads of chocolate
