When Scaramouche came home to a prettied-up Mona, prepared to take him out on a date, he knew something was going on.
Of course, he was appreciative of the kind gesture, but he knew damn well Mona wouldn't plan such a time-consuming event on him. As she'd almost always say whenever he complained about her not taking initiative on their dates: it was her-precious-time-that-shouldn't-be-wasted-on-such-a-worthless-person-as-him. He never minded really, after all that was how their relationship worked.
He opened the double birch wood door and saw Mona standing by the door, posture as straight as a cutting board, and an awfully forced smile across her lips. She wore a silky off-the-shoulders ruby red dress - his favorite dress, with black garter stockings climbing up to her knees. Elegantly sporting black high-heels that grew her an inch or two taller than him. He noticed fairly light makeup applied to her face; liquid winged eyeliner, rosy cheeks, and a dark blood-red lipstick tainting her lips. His wife was truly the most gorgeous woman he'd lain eyes on.
"Am I missing something here?" He raised a brow, placing his keys on the desk. "What's all this about?"
Mona tilted her head. "Excuse me?"
"Why are you all dressed up, I mean." He finished, then proceeded to add, "Is it a special day? An anniversary?"
"No,"
"Is it a birthday of a friend?" He questioned, thinking about all the possibilities. Mona had a lot of friends, and it was difficult to keep up with all their birthdays. And unfortunately for him, he was dragged to every single one. Wait, what if it was...
"Just putting it out there: If it's any party including Ajax, I'm not going."
"No, no party of any sort," Mona responded, leading Scaramouche to let out a sigh of relief. "And frankly, I don't know why you religiously avoid the only best friend you may ever have." Scaramouche rolled his eyes at this. "Tell you what, be a comedian one day." He said, derision laced with his words.
Mona fiddled with her fingers. "Actually, I wanted to take you out on a date."
"Huh, why?"
"What do you mean 'why?' Can a girl not take her husband out on a date?" Mona retorted, a hinge of annoyance in her voice.
"Yes, a girl can. But you're not just any girl. Do I have to remind you of your own words?" Scaramouche looked at her with hooded eyes. "Unless you're trying to convince me to buy you that new astrological globe, I don't see any reason you'd prepare a date."
Mona rolled her eyes. "Ugh, what a nuisance." She mumbled to herself. "As a matter of fact, I will buy that astrological globe with my own money." She scowled indignantly.
Scaramouche grinned as he took off his shoes. "Whatever, how was work today?" Mona asked as she watched the man loosen his tie.
"Horrible as per usual. Ajax somehow grew even more annoying, and Signora made me work more than I had to."
