"Hey, Honey," Claire called out to me at the restaurant as we got to the table and sat down. I turned briefly, distracted by the beautiful lady who walked in.
"You seemed lost in thought," she said looking at me with worry in her eyes.
"Babe, you worry too much. Can we just have fun and celebrate? It's our tenth anniversary for goodness sake," I replied, taking a moment to really look at the gorgeous woman I married ten years ago.
"Have I ever told you that you're so beautiful?" I asked and she giggled.
I loved the way she smiled so beautifully, her teeth shining in their glory and her beautiful self getting even more beautiful as I stared.
"You flatter me too much," she said, her eyes filled with love and admiration.
"I'm just saying the truth. I love you so much, Claire," I said, scanning around to see if any waiter was in sight.
"I love you too, she responded, and just as I was about to call out for a waiter, a voice asked to take our orders and I turned to behold her.
The lady who I had seen earlier.
"What are we ordering, I haven't eaten but I'm full already" Claire's voice brought me back from reverie where I was lost fantasizing sweet nothings with the gorgeous waitress standing in front of me.
Don't look at me that way, I am not the kind of man you think I am. I don't just know what has gotten into me.
"Give us the best meal on your menu," I said, flashing a smile at the waitress.
"Right away!" she responded and walked away, her butt swaying in rhythm with the slow music playing on the background.
"She's so pretty right?" Claire said with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, sure," I responded, turning to face my beautiful wife. It seems I'm done starting for the day.
"Just like yesterday, it's our tenth-year anniversary." Claire smiled, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table.
"The ride has been an amazing one, three lovely pumpkins and a beautiful and supportive wife by my side. What more can I ask for?" I said and heaved a sigh.
Claire's eyes sparkled with joy as she reached for my hand across the table. "We've built a wonderful life together," she said, her voice filled with warmth and just then, the waitress returned with our orders, placing the delicious dishes in front of us. "Enjoy your meal and happy anniversary!" she exclaimed, adding a cheerful touch to the moment.
"How did she get to know that it is our anniversary," Claire asked and after thinking about it, I remembered I had told the management when I was booking the reservation.
"When I booked the reservation. I mentioned it.
"Oh! That's true," she exclaimed and we laughed.
Claire raised her glass, and we toasted to a decade of love, laughter, and shared memories but somewhere in my heart, all that keeps popping in my head is seeing that waitress stack naked in front of me.
Again, don't look at me with those eyes.
