The girls stayed on the couch for a while. They watched some crime fighting show with an actor that they just sat and drooled over. Isaac eventually got his lazy ass in the shower. We were both in the kitchen talking while the girls all but planned out their lives with Mr.Sexy.

"So, what happened last night?" I asked him.

"You mean other than you and Mia slamming the headboard against the wall all night?" He said with a smirk.

"Yup. Other than that." I said as I poured us each another cup of coffee.

"We just fell asleep." He said with a shrug, as he poured about a cup of sugar in his coffee.

I looked at him like I wasn't buying it as I got the creamer out of the fridge.

"We watched a couple movies, I kissed her, we fell asleep." He said.

"Oh my god... it's like pulling teeth." I said as I rubbed my forehead.

"She won't do long distance. Nothing is going to happen." He said suddenly more blunt.

"I didn't realize you wanted something to happen. You have always said you didn't want the whole wife and kids life."

"I don't." He said as he poured creamer in the cup of sugar he had.

"Why don't you guys come out to dinner with us tonight? I'm sure Amy wouldn't pass up an opportunity to get dressed up a little." I offered.

He nodded, and walked over to the girls. He leaned on the back of the couch, and gently ran a finger over Amy's shoulder as he talked to her. She smiled and nodded, and Isaac came back into the kitchen.

"We're going someplace nice right?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I mean, it's not Sapore di Paradiso, but it's nicer." I said as he smiled.

"Good." He said. He took his coffee into the living room and sat next to Amy as they watched the show. I laid down and put my head in Mia's lap. She ran her fingers through my hair like she did that day at the park, and she just about put me to sleep.

I called the steakhouse we were going to tonight, and changed our reservation from two to four. I showered while Mia did her hair and make up. It took me twice as long as normal because I would just stop and watch her. She had music playing and she would sway her hips as she held the curling iron in her hair, and mouth the words as she leaned into the mirror to perfect her eyes.

When I did finally get out, I shaved and did my hair. My clothes were laid out on the bed, and Mia went into the closet to get dressed. I put on a pair of black jeans and a navy button up. 

As I finished the last few buttons on my shirt, Mia stepped out of the closet to look into my full length mirror

As I finished the last few buttons on my shirt, Mia stepped out of the closet to look into my full length mirror. I stopped mid button and just stared. She was wearing a white mini dress with dark brown tights, and lighter brown thigh high boots. She played with her hair, then put a tan scarf around her neck.
