Sorry folks, there is lots of talking about our married life in this chapter; skip it if you wish. Next week may be interesting. I was writing this up while Jess has gone to feed her mother's fish again, and I thought maybe some of you might be interested in an update. Feedback would be most appreciated. Good or bad, then I'll know!
Earlier today I was parked up and looked at various websites, so maybe taking Jess for an Easter city break to Belgium, mainly due to what I'd seen in two different nightclubs during a work trip there a few weeks ago, staying in the city and out walking in the evening before returning to the UK.
I'd chanced upon what I'd assumed was a busy pub and also a nightclub. While researching for the nightclub information, I was surprised to discover that the one place was not even a nightclub but a sort of 'pop up club' for one night only, an underground dance club, a meeting point for largely African immigrants, probable illegals at that, and locals. The locals I saw were mostly white girls, some with white guys, all having a great time.
It seems these 'pop up' meets don't get advertised; it's all word of mouth and text, so how to find out where, when, or just go on the off chance we find out when there, I don't know.
I also had some Safari Company ads coming up because I looked at one this morning. I simply can't afford one, but I'd love to take Jess on one. I think we'd both enjoy the local hospitality.
I got a message from Jess to say that she's going for a run after school today and might go to aerobics class afterwards but is not going on a date (sad face emoji). see you by 6.30. I love you.
I replied, finishing at 6 p.m., but I do have a date (happy face emoji) ditto.
Almost immediate reply Date? Who?
You, you mad woman, date at 6.30. I love you.
Two laughing emojis, five hearts, and three kiss emojis in reply!
I got home tonight just before 6 o'clock and prepared lasagna for dinner, put a box of wine in the fridge to cool, took a coffee upstairs, quickly shaved, and inspected for body hair--not bad, but I might do a removal session this weekend--then stripped off, opening my underwear drawer now filled only with various styles of feminine panties, my male underwear is in an underbed drawer if ever needed again. I selected a pair of lovely lace 'cheeky' panties in coral red.I also found the matching bra to last night's lemonade knickers, so put that on with the inserts. I think I'd like slightly bigger tits; maybe go 'C to a D'. I have to ask Jess when she gets here until I know if she has any plans for this evening, so I'm unsure what she wants me to wear.I choose to put on my red hold-ups, which go well with the coral panty and bra set, over which the Belgium red nightie.
Brushed my hair as Jess likes it then off to put the lasagna in the oven for dinner.
I was sitting at the table when I heard the doorbell. I shot to see who, as Jess didn't need to ring it, hell and damnation, it was her bloody mother. I leg it upstairs to hide and also rapidly changed. Fortunately, Jess arrived and called out a warning to me.
"Pete, I'm back; Mom's here."
"Be down in a minute, dinner is on."
A couple of minutes later, Jess came up to tell me that she had gone. I had taken off the nightie and bra, pulled on a T-shirt, and was about to step into a pair of men's lounge pants when Jess came into the bathroom. Seeing first what I was wearing, then on the washing basket what I had been wearing, she took off her hoodie, pecked me on the lips to say hi, then said,
"She popped over just to tell me she has gone away till Monday with a 'friend' who had invited her to Devon for a few days, and could I go round and feed the fish on Saturday?"
"Should I get dressed for you again?" Jess shook her head.
"By the way, that was bloody close because I was down on the laptop dressed in that, nodding towards the nightie and bra on the basket.
"The door wasn't deadlocked because I was expecting you home and not your bloody mother coming this late.
If she hadn't rung the bell, the only saving grace was that I didn't have my face on, but you know what she thinks of me, a fucking wimp--think what she'd say had she just come in and seen me?"
By now, Jess has stripped naked, gotten in the shower, and said,
"Fancy joining me? I thought we could do with a quiet night. It's been a while since I spent time alone with my husband, and you've made dinner, I see. So stay in, yes?"
"Sounds good, love. I'll go check on the lasagna, wine?"
"Yes, ok, be down shortly, 5 miles, then 45 minutes of Christine's aerobics; I'm knackered, and I pong!"
A quarter of an hour later, I was serving up dinner, and Jess was sipping her wine at the table, wearing her white nightie with white boy short panties.
She'd moved my laptop, which then lit up on the website I'd been looking at and was not closed when the dragon rang the doorbell. I took our dinner plates in, and she asked me,
"What's that about?"
I told her, "Tell you later" and shrunk it down, revealing under that page a 'friends request' on social media from Aiden. Jess stopped eating, saying,
"You contacted him? Why, Pete, I'm not interested in friending him or any of them; what if Milo finds me? Oh sh*t!"
"Whoa, Jess I've not contacted him, he found me and us on that site. You'll have the same request on your page as well. I meant to tell you yesterday when I got it, but with everything that happened, I forgot, although for half a second I did think maybe last night's 'date' just might have been him. sorry Jess."
"Hang on, you thought just because he may have contacted me online that I'd have met him in secret--what, for a shag? You don't know me very well, do you, Pete?"
"Well, I'm sorry if I was wrong, but I know that he's someone special to you; he means something to you, and you even spoke of him with more than fondness only last night, so isn't it possible I'd think that way, Jess?"
"So much for the quiet night in with you tonight; you picked a fight with me, and this is going cold too."
I took our dinners back to the kitchen to reheat them, but I asked her,
"Shall I heat this now, or do you want to talk but not fight? I'm not picking a fight, Jess, honestly, love, so much has happened recently, you've changed so much that it's hard sometimes to keep up with it all."
"Right, leave dinner for now and come sit here with me."
She moved away from the table with her glass of wine to the sofa, patting the space beside her. She continued to say,
"Let's see If I can put your mind at rest about changes, Aiden, mystery dating, whatever, come on."
I made myself a coffee, as I think I'll need a clear head for this little heart-to-heart!
I joined Jess on the sofa as she poured herself another glass of wine and I sipped my coffee.
"Right, you're complaining I'm changing too fast for you."
"Hang on, Jess, don't please. I'm not complaining; I'm just saying that you have changed recently, and I don't know just what triggered this big change or the speed at which it's happening.
I'm not even saying I object, I'm not complaining; I know I failed you as a husband and wondered, that's all."
"Right, 1) You have not failed as a husband, you earn good money, we have a roof over our heads, food, and wine, I have all the clothes I need, we go on holidays, minibreaks, etc. So we're doing okay; you've not failed. And you're still master of this house and me, just not always in the bedroom.
2) I've always been, since I was 19 anyway, a little bit of an exhibitionist, and you have encouraged me since the wedding to continue, you've even encouraged me to tease other men, and you take me dancing to do so. In Turkey, then again that weekend in Manchester, you wanted me to tease even further, pushing me towards black men. You got excited when you thought I let someone kiss me and even finger me on the dance floor! Is that not the case? I nod yes!
