The little girl in me was doing flip kicks but then I reminded myself that maybe this meant nothing to him .
It was just dinner and I was thinking too much into it .
The ride down the elevator was quite as none of us bothered to say a word . I was excited to say the least but I couldn't show him that .
"We'll use my car I'll tell someone to drive your car home for you ",he said and I nodded in agreement .
The elevator stopped and he waited for me to get out first as he followed right behind me . His car was already at the front waiting for us and as he opened the door for me to enter .
I looked around hoping that no one was watching us but there were people but they seemed to engrossed in their business to notice what was going one and he noticed as it was the first question he asked as he got in the car .
"Are you afraid of being seen with me ?",he asked as he started the car .
"Afraid of being seen with you no you're hot am sorry my bad I didn't mean that it's just that you didn't want people at work to know about us ",I said embarrassed.
What was wrong with me ? Couldn't I just keep it together for a second ?
"You think am hot ?",he asked chuckling .
Really now ? He obviously wanted me to say it again but I wasn't going to say it again . I was over him remember ?
"I mean you're fine but that's besides the point ",I said shrugging .
"It doesn't matter if people see us together , besides you're my wife after all and I am not cheating on anyone . It was just a ride home what is wrong with that ",he said as his eyes left the road to look at me .
" You're pretty hot yourself so if they think am having a relationship with you it really isn't that big of a deal or is it to you ? ",he asked and for a moment there I had been fooled .
I had thought that he really cared for me and that maybe some small part of me wanted me but all this had just been for show .
He had done this so that anyone who wanted me would leave me alone because if they saw me with him there was no way that they would compete with him .
"So all this was just for show ? You did this so that if anyone was interested in me they would leave me alone ",I said getting pissed off .
"What who said that , I didn't say that did I ?",he asked as he looked at me confused and fir a moment I wondered if maybe I was thinking too much into the question he had asked me .
"Yeah you asked me if I didn't want people to see us together ",I said to him hoping that maybe that question would jog his mind .
"Yeah I asked that because we had both agreed to keep the relationship off work and I wanted to know if you were comfortable with this I didn't want to overstep my boundaries ",he said and I felt stupid .
I had accused him if something that he hadn't meant at all .
"No you didn't overstep though I had been invited out for drinks by the people at work this evening ",I said as I looked at him hoping to see any emotion on his face but there was none he looked calm .
"Did you now? , I wonder what they will think when they know you decided to go to dinner with your husband instead",he said as he chuckled and maybe it was the best siund I had ever heard .
Happiness loomed good in him and he seemed to be happy as we rode home and I didn't want that moment to end because I had no idea when something like this would happen again .
"They will have to understand. Why didn't I know that it was your birthday ?",I asked him .
"Because all we know about each other are our names and our parents ",he said and for a moment I remembered my mother and smiled because now she was well .
"Yeah that's true ",I said as I remained silent .
" When is your birthday ? ",he asked me .
" Why are you asking ? ",I asked him.
" Because we may be the most horrible couple but birthday's are important and I would love to always do something good for you ",he said as he looked at me and it took everything in me not to lean in and kiss him .
" November 12th ,but I feel bad that I wasn't able to do anything good for you ",I said feeling like the worst wife to exist .
Wait I was his wife , how cool is that ?
" You really didn't know it was my birthday so you will do something for me the next year and your birthday is in like three weeks. What would you want ? ",he said .
" I don't know I want alot of things ",I said as I chuckled because that was true I wanted alot if things so I couldn't choose one .
" You have a rich husband so that you can get all you want just tell me everything you want and I'll get it done for you ",he said .
Money really mattered .
" I want a wagon and designer shoes specifically red bottoms I've never owned one ",I said .
" You have my card and it doesn't have a limit you could always buy all this stuff I don't mind but I don't think that's all you want for your birthday ",he said and he was right that wasn't all I wanted for my birthday .
" I have always wanted to go away for like a holiday during my birthday . The Bahamas actually ",I said .
" Okay I don't know if we will manage to get time to go on holiday but I'll see what I will do ",he said as we pulled into the driveway of our home and the smile on my lips stuck till we were leaving the house to go for dinner .
