After our sweet lunch date yesterday, I decide to go all in and ask Julia out on a real date for drinks, dinner, and a movie of her choice, or a walk in the park. Really whatever she wants, I’ll do for her. I know I have to gain her trust back. I’ve held regret in my heart for cheating on her for years. It’s time I do something about it. It’s time to win my wife back, whatever it takes.
On my way home from the office, I stop at the local florist and buy her a massive bouquet of yellow roses.
Entering our home through the kitchen door from the garage, I call out, “Julia, baby. Where are you?”
“In the bedroom, D. I’ll be right out,” she says loudly.
I don’t wait for her to come to me, I walk toward our bedroom with the bouquet of flowers for her. We collide before I get to the door.
“Oh, D, sorry.” Julia drops her bag she has in her hand.
“It’s okay. Here.” I hold out the roses for her. “For you, Juls. Just because.”
“Decklan. These are beautiful. Thank you.” She takes them from me and brings them to her nose, inhaling. “They smell so good. Let me get a vase from the kitchen.” She walks past me and I follow.
“Um, Julia.” I scratch my head and watch her as she fills the vase with water.
“Yes, D?”
“Will you go on a date with me for dinner, tonight?”
Dropping the plastic vase in the sink, she turns and faces me. “I’d love to, but D. You have your basketball game and I have my book club tonight. Let’s go another night, okay?” She squints her eyes and crinkles her nose.
“About that. I’ve decided to quit the basketball game night. You’re more important than that.”
“Well, okay. And you’re important to me too. But, D. It’s my night at book club to pick the next book we all read. I’ve never chosen the book for everyone before.” She looks away from me, then turns back to me. “Please don’t take this the wrong way. I want to go on a date with you. I do. Will you give me this one more night with my book club?” She steps toward me, tilting her head upward and smiling her sweet smile.
“Of course, Julia. What’s one more night? Right? I’ll be here when you come home.” I lean down and kiss her cheek. “I’ll always be here for you.”
“Thank you, Decklan.” Julia finishes putting the flowers in the vase. “I need to grab my things and head on out. I won’t be late.” She touches my arm as she passes by me. Picking up the bag she dropped, she comes back to me. “See you later.” Her lips graze mine and before I can kiss her back, she turns and walks toward the door to the garage.
Sitting at the bar at Club Wonderland, I wave to the young woman dressed in a blackish-purple bodysuit wearing a black mask with pointy ears and streaks of purple on it.
Smiling at me, she asks, “What can I get for you?”
From behind my plain black mask, I say, “Double tequila, neat. Thanks.”
She turns and grabs the bottle containing the clear liquid, quickly pouring my drink. “Here you go, sir. Do you want to run a tab?”
“No. Cash me out.” I don’t plan to stay long. I need to let go of the sting of Julia turning me down for a date tonight. I can’t blame her at all. I suck as a husband. Completely suck.
I turn around and face the main room of the club. All kinds of sexual acts are performing before me. A young woman is on the St. Andrew’s Cross. The spanking benches are all full of women and men getting their erotic fixes met.
I’ve seen enough of this though. I shouldn’t be here, even for a drink. Working to fix my marriage means giving up some things I used to think were important. Things I thought I enjoyed. When I just miss my wife.
We had a great marriage after Julia forgave me for my first mistake. Our lives were busy, but fun. I remember our dinners together. Going to the beach on the weekends. Traveling all over Florida. We went to the movies, to the local dive bar to dance and listen to new bands coming through town. Our sex life seemed perfect. It fulfilled me, and I thought it fulfilled her. She never complained.
Then I fucked up again. She’s still hurting.
This last time though, I didn’t cheat. Watching porn and jerking off isn’t cheating, but I can’t bring myself to tell Julia that’s what I was doing when she came to my office.
When she saved our asses, preventing the breach of the club’s client list and I held her in my arms, kissing her over and over; I thought that was a turning point for the better. But her walls were still up. She didn’t trust me then, and she still doesn’t trust me today.
I have to win her trust back. I won’t lose her. I’ll do whatever she wants. Whatever. She. Wants. She’ll get.
Instead of going on a date with Decklan, I went to my ‘book club’ every week for the past month. I’d make up an excuse to continue going every week. I just wasn’t ready to give up Ice and Kid. Or this new experience I have at Club Wonderland.
But D is trying so hard. He brings dinner home every night if I’ve not gone into the office. He surprises me with flowers, candy, bubble bath, and perfume. One time he even bought me a beautiful onyx bracelet. When he first hooked it on my wrist, I thought of how gorgeous it would look with my black Pussy Queen bodysuit. I shook my head hard and pinched myself for being so selfish.
