Our Love Goes On and On

SOLD

I wasn't in a great mood at all.

I hadn't spoke to my husband in two days.

I had to go on another date last night with Johnny, and it was great, but of course I wanted it to be with Roman and not Johnny.

And of course tonight I had to go on a date with Randy. We were supposed to be going to dinner and a movie. It sounded simple, but he said it was at a really fancy restaurant, so I had to dress really fancy.

Ada had come over to my hotel room because she was a great friend and knew that something was wrong with me.

"What exactly happened?" she asked.

I had flopped down onto the bed, "I got a rib tattoo, he said I was showing my boobs to other men, I said he wasn't a good husband, he didn't understand, and then I asked him why he didn't try anymore."

"You got a tattoo?"

"It's not a real one, it'll come off in two weeks."

"Why is he mad then?"

"Apparently, I'm the world biggest hoe for taking off my shirt to get a tattoo."

She glared at me, "You had on a bra, right?"

Seriously?

"Of course I had on a bra! You sound like Roman."

"Sorry, I'm just trying to see why he would be so mad about it."

I rolled over onto my stomach and pouted. I didn't want to be fighting with him, but something had to give.

All we do is sit at home and watch TV or hang out with the kids. I have no problem hanging out with my children, but when they're not home, then what?

"Do you remember how you guys met?" she asked.

I laughed a little, "Yeah."

"You fell head over heels for that man."

"He was perfect."

"Dean was nowhere near perfect back then, but we worked on it."

"I wish we were like that still. It seemed like when we were dating, nothing mattered. We'd go everywhere together, you know?"

Ada rolled her eyes, "Oh, trust me, I know. You guys were joined at the hip for like six months straight."

Phil walked in with our pizza, sitting it down, "What did I miss?"

"Chase still wants her husband to be more romantic."

"Oh, I didn't miss much then."

It felt like it had been ages since I had seen Phil. He'd been staying home with Amy, waiting on the day their baby boy would finally arrive.

"Roman's never been the most romantic guy, but now it just seems like he doesn't care anymore. Does that mean something? Like, does he not love me as much, or something?"

"We all know he loves you." Phil said, stuffing a piece of pizza into his mouth.

"I hope."

Later That Night:

Randy chose the most expensive restaurant I have ever seen in my life. It had wine bottles to greet you at the door, and champagne bottles being served to those who wanted it.

Wow.

We sat down at our small booth and started looking at the menu almost immediately. "Do you know what you want to drink?" he asked.
