I wasn't enough.

Chapter 5

Davids POV

Sunday 5:45pm

*vrrrr* I feel a vibration from my phone in the pocket of my jeans.

As I take out my phone, I see a message from Lucy.

Beautiful Wife: Hey hon, I'll be home around 10pm. You don't have to wait up but I have some exciting news for you, love you ♥

I look at my phone and read the last line in my head repeatedly I have some exciting news for you, love you.

Exciting news? What news could that be? And how would I know it's going to be exciting?

For all I know I could hate it, millions of thoughts and questions are racing through my mind when I hear a noise while in my daze.

It's very faint, and I hear it again but I can't quite make out the word?

"David, David! Are you there? Earth to David?" Emily says with annoyance in her voice.

"David the waiters been standing here for about fifteen minutes waiting for you to place your order..."

"Oh right, sorry about that I was in a daydream. Um I'd like the chef's choice thank you" I say with a slight smile

"Anything to drink sir?" He replies politely.

"Chardonnay"

"Good choice sir, will that be all for now " he kindly replies

"Yes that'll be all. Thank you"

The waitress disappears into the kitchen and I lock eyes with Emily.

"Chardonnay? What are celebrating?" Emily says. Raising her eyebrow with a smirk on her face.

She probably thinks I'm celebrating us but mentally I'm celebrating the exciting news Lucy has for me. Even though I don't know what it is.

"Well, you of course. Our relationship" I encourage while clearing my throat.

I ought not to tell her because everything will turn ugly.

Emily blushes a little then looks down at her hands. Which are placed elegantly on the table.

She slightly looks up and sees me looking at her.

She casts her eyes back down again and starts fiddling with her thumbs

"Emily darling, are you nervous?" I say cheekily with one eyebrow raised

"You're never nervous when we're together?" I question

"Oh, it's just... this is our very first real date... like real dinner date" she replies shyly but now looking directly at me.

"Oh. Um. Right. I never thought about it like that" I say scratching the back of my neck

"Well.." I reply, clearing my throat "How are you liking it?"

"It's amazing" she gushes and at that moment she was all I could see, I love her.

Lucy's POV

It was 8:15pm I have just finished having some dessert. Moms famous chocolate pie with home made custard, oh how I have missed my moms cooking.

Don't get me wrong, Davids cooking is amazing... After all, he is a cook but I guess I just miss the gold old fashioned mom cooked meals.

"Would you like anything to drink sweetheart?"

"No, I'm fine thanks Mom. The meal was delicious" I reply as I pat my stomach.
