Seafood for Dinner
Wife forgets that husband cannot eat seafood when she cooks dinner for her ex-lover.
Sunday afternoon:
I was watching a football game on the TV and I smelled something unusual coming from the kitchen. I got up from the couch and headed for the kitchen to see what my wife was cooking.
"What is that smell?" I asked.
"I am cooking some halibut for dinner," my wife said. "I told you yesterday that I ran into Ted at the grocery store and I invited him to dinner tonight."
"I remember you saying that you bumped into him at the grocery store but I don't recall anything about him coming to dinner with us. I would definitely remember if it concerned Ted," I replied.
Ted was my wife's long-time lover from before we met. She had dated him the first two years of college and they lived together in an apartment the last two years of college. After they graduated, they continued to live together for a while, but when Ted broke up with Ann, she immediately started dating me. I had just returned from my commitment with the Army. All three of us grew up in the same small town in Colorado so we knew each other. The last I had heard about Ted was that he was in Kansas City and was married to the woman he dumped Ann for.
"Ann, surely you remember that I have a violent reaction to fish and seafood. When we were first married, we discussed this and you agreed to never cook fish or seafood because we could not afford to buy an EpiPen back then. So why would you cook seafood tonight?" I asked.
"I had invited Ted to have dinner with us and he told me Halibut is his favorite dish. Honey, he is getting over a bad divorce so I wanted to cook something special for him. I think in the excitement of seeing him, your allergy slipped my mind," she said.
"Since you know that seafood will make me sick, what are you cooking for me?" I asked.
"I.... I...." Ann stuttered.
"So let me get this straight. You expected me to eat seafood with you and Ted, knowing that it will make me very sick," I said.
"I bought enough halibut for the three of us without thinking," Ann said. "Honey, run to the store and pick up a steak, I will fix you a nice dinner too. I would go to the store, but I need to keep an eye on baking the halibut" my wife said.
"So now I have to go buy my own dinner while you fix a fancy dinner for you ex-lover. Isn't this just fucking great!" I said angrily.
"Honey, it was a simple oversight. Please hurry back with your steak because he will be here in 20 minutes and I don't want to over-cook the halibut," my wife said.
"Ann, this whole thing 'smells' like a date with your ex-lover and I am a third wheel. No one wants a third person around on a date. So, did you cook something that I cannot eat just so that I would have to leave so that you can be alone with your lover? Is he going to spend the night here too? Am I supposed to sleep in the guest room so that you two can fuck in the master bedroom just like old times?" I yelled.
"Honey, it is not a date and he is not staying here and I am certainly not fucking anyone tonight! You are being silly and jealous. Get over it! Please go get a steak so that I can have everything done at once," my wife said.
I stood staring at my wife. Her red hair was in a pony tail which makes her look 10 years younger than her 42. She had put on her "face" with eye makeup and darkened eye brows. She had on a light blue blouse with the top 4 buttons undone to expose a lot of her C cup tits and some cleavage. Her skirt looked new and was several inches above her knees. She never dresses like this. Yep, tonight is a date with her ex-lover!
"Ann, I notice that you are dressed very special for Ted. I don't recall you dressing with your tits hanging out like that for date night with me. Are you trying to get back together with Ted tonight?" I asked.
"Honey, you are being silly! I dress up every time we have guests for dinner. This is nothing special tonight. I always try to look nice for you when we go out on date night," Ann said.
"You are showing a lot of tits and cleavage for a causal dinner. I don't care what you think, you have never dressed like this for me on our date nights," I said.
"Jim, please go get a steak and hurry. Ted will be here soon," Ann said.
"Alright, Ann! I am leaving! I will get my steak at Texas Road House. It is clear that I am not wanted here!" I said and I headed for the garage.
"Honey, please don't be angry. I made a mistake," she said following me.
I grabbed my keys from the hook on the laundry room wall. In 10 seconds I was in my car and backing out of the garage. I laid rubber as I took off down the street.
I realized that I was driving the wrong direction to go to the steak house so I drove into a neighborhood park and parked the car. I need to calm down and think about this. My wife and I have never had an argument where one of us left the house. Why am I so upset? I remember my wife telling me yesterday that she met Ted at the grocery store, but she never said anything about having him for dinner. My wife of 20 years knows that I cannot eat seafood but she made no attempt to have anything for me to eat. Would I be this upset if it were anyone other than Ted? No, Ted is the problem! I think she pissed me off just so I would leave so that they can be alone. I wonder if she is planning to fuck him now that I have left the house. I wonder if she was thinking about Ted when we made love last night.
I have always had the concern in my mind that I was Ann's second choice for a husband. She and Ted were together almost 5 years and were intending to get married. When Ted dumped Ann for another woman, Ann started immediately dating me. She talked me into marrying her right away. I felt like I was a "rebound husband" for Ann. I do admit that she has been an excellent wife for 20 years but now Ted has shown up, and Ann is acting like a school girl getting ready for a date.
I had lost my appetite so I decided to go back home and see what is going on. I parked two houses down the street from mine to watch the front door. Sure enough, Ted showed up right on time. He parked on our driveway and went to the door carrying some flowers and a bottle of wine. They had a quick "Hello" kiss at the door and then she escorted him inside.
I got out of my car and ran around the back of my house. We have a glass sunroom that connects to the kitchen area so I could see into our kitchen including the dining table. Our backyard has lots of trees and bushes so I was able to hide behind a lilac bush where I could see into the kitchen.
Ann took Ted's arm and escorted him into the kitchen. She took the flowers and put them in a vase from the cupboard. Ted started opening the wine. This is going to take some time so I moved around the house to the trash dumpsters. I had thrown away a 5 gallon bucket earlier today when I used up the last of the fertilizer. I took it back to my hiding spot and used the bucket upside down for a seat so that I could watch.

Inside the Kitchen:
"Ann, it was so good to see you yesterday. Thank you for inviting me to dinner," Ted said.
"On Saturday you told me that your favorite meal is halibut so I am cooking some for you with lemon sauce - just like you like it," Ann said.
"Where is Jim?" Ted asked.
"He should be back soon. I was so excited to see you yesterday that I forgot that he cannot eat seafood so I sent him to the store to get a steak," Ann replied.
"I think I remember something like that about him. I have the wine open. Do you have some wine glasses?" Ted asked.
Ann opened a cabinet door and brought out 3 wine glasses. She set them on the table. Ted poured some in his and Ann's glasses and then held up his as a toast.
"To good friends and lovers," he said as Ann picked up her glass.
They talked about old times for several minutes.
"I better call Jim on his cell phone. The halibut is almost ready," Ann said.
She picked up her phone from the kitchen counter and called my phone. It started to ring in my pocket so I quickly switched it to vibrate only. I let the call go to voice mail.
"He didn't answer. I think that we better eat the halibut before it becomes too done. I'll fix his steak when he returns," Ann said.
She served two plates with halibut in lemon sauce. The side dishes were already on the table. Ted did most of the talking while they ate but Ann really didn't seem to pay much attention. Her mind was somewhere else. As they were finishing the meal, Ann started to cry.
"Ann, what is wrong? Your meal was absolutely perfect," Ted said.
"Oh Ted, I have done a bad thing. I was so excited to see you yesterday that I forgot that Jim cannot eat any fish or seafood. He has an instantaneous reaction that can be fatal if not treated promptly. I didn't buy anything for him to eat so I told him to go buy a steak and hurry back. He left here in an angry rage before you arrived. I am afraid that he is not coming back. I really fucked up!" Ann said crying.
"Surely, he saw that it was just a mistake," Ted said.
"Ted, he is very jealous of our previous relationship. He has always believed that he was my second choice for a husband. This dinner looked to him like I didn't want him here so that I could be alone with you," she explained.
"Yes, I can see how he might think that. Ann, I can see that you are upset so let's go into the living room and let me hold you for a few minutes," he said.
"I don't think that would be a good idea. We will start kissing like we did yesterday and if Jim came home and caught us, my marriage would be over. I think you should go," Ann said.
"You are probably right; I should go. Ann, the dinner was wonderful and I loved being with you again. I will call you tomorrow at work to find out how things are," Ted said.
He got up to leave and Ann ran over to him and hugged him while she cried on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her but his hands were on her butt. After a couple of minutes, she walked him to the front door. Before she could open it, Ted grabbed her around the waist and kissed her. It started as a "thank you" kiss but they both really got into kissing with tongues seeking each other. Ted lowered his hands and grabbed Ann's butt cheeks and pulled her tight against him while they were kissing. It looked like he was grinding Ann's body against his hardon. Ann put both her arms around Ted's neck. Then in a swift move, Ted removed his hands from her butt and pulled up her skirt to her waist. He then put one hand on her pussy on the outside of her panties. I saw his fingers push her panties to one side so that his finger could get to her pussy lips.
