It all started a few months ago, when I noticed something strangely odd with my husband, Michael. We've been married for three years now, and we are expecting our first child. I always thought it was going to be weird to live with someone. He proved that theory wrong. He's always been the type to share hobbies with me, surprise me with gifts, and he has the funniest unexpected sense of humor. Even though he has his immature sides, I know he's going to be a great father. But recently, he's been distant, quiet, and kept to himself. I wonder if he's keeping a secret from me. When I first met the man, he was a waiter at my favorite corner diner. I was taking my father out to lunch when I saw this angel walking towards the table.
"Hi, my name is Michael, I'll be your server today, how are you guys doing?" he asked.
'Even better, now that I saw you' I thought to myself. "We're great, thank you." I said.
"I can take your guys' order whenever you're ready." he stated.
And so, after we ate our yummy scrambled eggs, sizzling bacon, and stringy cheese bagels, we headed for the door. I told my father to wait for me in the car, while I called my best friend back, after receiving a missed call. That was until I felt a tap on the shoulder and heard a familiar sweet, soft voice.
"You forgot something, beautiful," he said, while handing me a receipt. I see a number written on it.
"Call me sometime," he said.
'What a typical cliche move that was,' I muttered.
But I couldn't lie, I was extremely ecstatic. As I get in the driver seat, I get interrogated by my dad. You know how that goes.
