“What are you thinking about?”
“You.”
“What a sad life.” I burst out laughing, “I’m next to you. What’s the use of thinking of me?”
He laughs with me. “My life is quite different. I was thinking about how you should be pregnant.”
I almost choke on my coffee. He can’t be serious.
“We’ll have time to have children. We just got married. I’d like to enjoy you a little before I enlarge the family.”And understand who you really are. I don’t recognize you anymore.I keep the last part to myself.
“Why wait? We won’t miss out on anything. We love each other, and you would be an amazing mother,” he says, smiling
“Thank you, but we have to fix some things first, and then we’ll talk about children, I promise.”
“Fix what?”
“Toning down your temper a little wouldn’t be bad.” I feel him stiffen. “This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s talk about it at home.” I caress his cheek, and he relaxes. “I need a dress and shoes.”
He smiles at me. “Let’s go, then. I can’t wait to see it on you.”
“Or you can’t wait to take it off?” I tease him
“Touché, baby.”
We enter the Armani boutique and start looking around. He quickly finds a tuxedo, but I don’t see anything that I like.
The saleswoman comes out with clothes that are not my style in terms of cut and color. Eventually, Jeremy rescues me, and we leave.
“Come, I have the right place for you.”
We get in the car and arrive at Vera Wang. I love her clothes.
The saleswoman is so kind and attentive to our requests. She immediately brings us two dresses, but the first has bewitched me. It’s a long dress with an elegant scalloped lace neckline. The bodice is fitted with lace appliqués and little touches of beading to finish, with a gathered skirt. I love navy blue, and as soon as Jeremy sees me leave the dressing room, he’s fascinated.
“You look amazing.” He makes me turn around. “Wonderful. We’ll take it together with the accessories.”
He kisses me as we leave the shop. We walk to the car, and his phone rings. He looks at who’s calling him and then puts the phone back in his pocket.
“You’re not answering?”
“No, baby, today I have the day off. I don’t want annoyances. I’m all for my wife.”
“What an honor, thank you.” He gives me another kiss and takes me back to my car.
“I’ll follow you. Go slowly. I’ll see you at home.”
“See you later.”
We’re heading home. I really want to cook tonight. L’Uther made me want Italian food.
After parking the car, I go to change my clothes. Soon, Jeremy also arrives with the shopping bags.
I kiss him and go down to the kitchen to make dinner.
I’ll make a carbonara. I love it. Eggs, parmesan, bacon, pepper, and pasta: I take everything out and start putting the water to boil. While the bacon is cooking, Jeremy joins me and hugs me.
“Hmmm, what a delicious smell. Italian meal?”
