Surprise Revelation

After three days of tension and arguing with my boyfriend, life seemed to go back to normal.

We were talking again and laughing again. The cold steeliness of his glare had transformed into a warm, loving gaze.

We spent time cuddled on the sofa. We hugged, caressed, and kissed other. It was genuine and affectionate. I felt optimistic that the rough seas of the days before were finally past us. I felt hopeful for days of smooth sailing ahead.

Suzanne came over that evening. My boyfriend, RTC, loves entertaining. He cooked us a gourmet meal. Roast chicken with butternut squash and tomato.

We had red wine, lots of red wine. My boyfriend was at his best: tipsy on red wine, in the company of two beautiful women and enjoying intelligent conversation. He thoroughly enjoyed talking with Suzanne. “She is just so ‘Sex in the City’,” he kept telling me after she left.

He seemed happier than I had seen him in a long while. Maybe it was the wine but he actually agreed to join Suzanne and I on a podcast.

During the recording he was affectionate and articulate. He seemed unguarded in when speaking.

I was stunned when he revealed that we’re hoping for a baby. Suzanne looked over at me at bit surprised. I looked back at her feeling shocked as well. Certainly, that was news to me. I didn’t think we were trying, although we weren’t not trying.

I looked back up at my boyfriend. I felt amazed, surprised and happy. He gave me a kiss on the head “Yes, I definitely want to have a baby with you.”

After the recording, Suzanne left. RTC and I went to bed. I put on my special negligee thinking that we might make love. We crawled in bed together. It was the first time in three days that we’d been in the same bed. It felt great spooning with him again.

It was nearly midnight. I really wanted to make love to him. We were both so tired we collapsed in each others arms and fell fast asleep. We stayed entwined until the morning.
