We pretty much decided on Ruth Chris for diner about the same time we pulled out on my gated community. I knew that we had a lot to talk about, I had a lot to think about and I was more than certain there would be some ramifications with her husband Art due to the nature of Hamari's visit with me becoming a permanent stay.
My concern wasn't over the fact that Art couldn't be handled, it stemmed from whatever unpleasantries his defiant behavior might bring his mail order bride: "Oh well." I thought to myself: "I'm not going to ruin our evening together with all of that now."
Ruth Chris always does an impeccable job for me with dinner and when Manager Tanya mentioned that I came in, Chef West walked out, greeted me and after introducing himself to Hamari, he told me he had just received in some very large prawns that he would like to comp as an appetizer for the two of us and that he would personally hand trim my signature New York strip and he smiled, handed Hamari a menu and took our wine list away instructing our server on what bottles to bring us on the house.
Our conversation was enjoyable, I found her to bright and quite fun, the appetizer was exceptional and Hamari decided on the jumbo lobster and the whole meal was extremely enjoyable, so deciding not to bring it up, I put the nagging thought of any impending conflict with Art out of my mind.
"Besides" I thought: "I can always take him way out, for a long boat ride."
After we ate and she received her little foil swan of leftover lobster, we took a seat in the bar for a nightcap and engaged in some conversation with another couple and basically, we just had a good time.
On the drive home Hamari seemed more open, happier and a lot more talkative than our first drive to my place and I joking thought to myself: "Swiftt I hope you didn't create a monster." But she was just too dam cute to even give that a second thought.
When we got in, she put away her leftovers and went to the guest suit to: "Slip into something a little more comfortable." She told me. I went to my room, hung up my cloths, stripped out of my briefs and put on a clean pair of silk boxers and a wife beater.
As I stepped out into the great room, I was feeling the effects of my Booker's from the bar at Chris's but decided on another tall one: "hell." I thought: "I earned it." I poured it straight up and sat in my favorite overstuffed leather chair and while contemplating whether or not to sit poolside to finish the evening off with a fine cigar, I watched her step into the room.
She had her long black hair kind of pulled back and pinned up and she was wearing a long slim fitting soft cotton (I guess you could call it) nightshirt. She gracefully walked up to me carrying a pillow under her arm and she looked inviting. Very inviting.
When she plopped the pillow in between my bare feet, I thought she was going to sit on the floor in front of me and watch a little of the news, but she got down on her knees and gently pushed mine further apart.
