Twisting around at the sudden scream, he saw the knife pointing at his groin. Her expression seemed frozen into a mask of horror. Unable to apologise, he stared into those dark, menacing eyes which forbade any feeble excuses.

Then he found his voice; a small childish voice, 'I didn't mean to.'

And those eyes widened into large, white orbs of disbelief. 'Kneel down!' she said, lowering the knife indicating the place where he should kneel.

Slowly, getting down into a praying position, he pleaded, 'My darling, you know what I'm like? Weak. Yes, weak.'

'Shut up,!' she yelled, taking a step towards him, the knife now inches away from the top of his bald head.

Terrified, he lowered his gaze away from that steely glint, felt a drop of liquid fall onto his pate where it dribbled down over his forehead to the tip of his nose. Instinctively, Partick put his tongue out to catch a small droplet that tasted of oranges.

He edged backwards on his knees like a pilgrim reversing. 'I won't do it again love,' he wheedled, his gaze catching the remnants of his desire scattered about the carpet.

'You promised me, Patrick,' she hissed. 'You said said you'd give them up for Lent.'

He went down onto his arms like a dog, his large paunch resting upon a sheepskin rug. 'Please, darling,' he cried, seeing those pretty chocolate papers glinting like rubies, emeralds and sapphires scattered in his haste to eat as many as he could.

So wrapped up in his shame and misery, he didn't hear his wife move away, open his wardrobe door and only when the sound of her trimuph reached him, did he look up and see all his XXXL clothes had been torn to shreds.

Hi Jennifer

That sounds like a lot of shredding to me. But no more than he deserved if he nicked all the Quality Street. :)

Hi John,
If given a choice,I've read, women opt for chocolates before a romantic interlude. Well, that's what some static came up with. Me, I'm a fudge fan.

Jennifer

Ooh, very close to the bone!! Enjoyed this one. I think you have a "Partick" in there instead of a "Patrick", but in the excitement of chocolate it's understandable!

Nice Jennifer. Well I don't like chocolate unless it's 85% cocoa and then a little goes a long way or violet creams...ADORE VIOLENT CREAMS.

Violent creams?? They sound rather scary, Oonah. Will you be getting some for Christmas?!?

Hi Oonah,
It's said, back before real cash men traded in cocoa.Or was it women? Turkey Delight tastes delicious after peeling the thin chocolate coating carefully away with your remaining teeth, leaving that pink blushing inside. Thanks for your comment.
Regards,
Jennifer.

Hi Anne and Jennifer, I always buy the stuff without the chocolate Jennifer - save me all that labourious peeling! And Violent creams is what I call violet creams because I'd kill for them...and there better be some in my stocking or Santa's reindeer will go short on oats!!! :)

Hi Jennifer,

Nice one Jennifer. Quality Street or Roses?

Oonah, I love the idea of chocolates being violent.

Best,
Rosie

Hi Jennifer
I know that man. Eat until you can't face another, suck a lemon to clear the pallet, and start again.
Best wishes
Richard

Hi Richard,
Now there's new chocolate on the market claiming wonders for health and wellbeing! It's small and costs over £2.00 a bar. Bet it tastes awful seeing as it's good for you.
Regards,
Jennifer
