He took me to an Italian restaurant Bella Boca and I immersed myself with my favorite pastas. Much to my horror of the prices on what was written on the menu, still my husband paid for them without even batting his dark eyelashes.
The place was crowded with elegant ladies around whom of course, were oogling my Eric. I was feeling awkward wearing my scrubsuit, feeling out of place.
Why is it everytime he takes me out to dinner, these were the only outfit I was wearing? He didn't even brought me home so I can at least change my clothes. So much for Mr. Richie Rich with a dirt-poor looking nurse of a wife.
Eric cleared his throat to get my attention. I wasn't aware he was speaking to me of something. I was so lost with my self-assessment.
He was wiping his sexy mouth with a napkin, he was done eating while I didn't even eat half of the food on my plate.
"You don't like them?", he asked, referring to the meal.
"I'm not really that hungry", I set aside my spoon. He wasn't aware that being with him, food was always the last thing on my mind.
He nodded.
"Babe, tomorrow they will send you a card at home. I already took care of--"
Tomorrow was my off-duty and the day after that.
"What card?", I looked up at him instantly, forgetting about the food and frowned.
He pointed at the waiter who took his credit card away. I stared at the waiter, too.
"But why?!", I was shocked and alarmed. Both eyes were large as saucers.
"I'm paying for all of my wife's expenses."
Oh God, not this again!
I bit my lower lip. Then took a deep breath before responding.
"Eric, I told you before you don't have to. I have my own money and I'm working."
"I know you do baby but you're my responsibility. You're my wife", he said with a smile. The last two words were spoken with emphasis.
Well, who could say no to that? Argh!
Again. It seems like that was his favorite speech when it comes to me. Putting me in my place, as he said.
I sighed and silently groaned.
"Anyway, I have something much better prepared for you at home", he said, changing the subject. Giving me a sexy, secretive grin.
"What's that?", now I sounded like a little girl filled with excitement.
"Can't tell, it's a secret."
I pouted.
He grinned then bit his lower lip. That made me sat up in attention.
Yikes! I'm instantly getting wet down there.
His eyes slowly caressed my face down to my neck then chest. I swallowed.
It was getting hot in here!
He smirked.
He knew!
"Later, baby."
I snorted loudly.
He laughed so loud, that some women glared at us. Well, at me particularly for most of them were eyeing my husband since we came here.
Yup, let me say that again 'my husband'!
