Sometimes things can look ten times worse than what they are,especially me and Alex going into the dressing room together."I can explain that. I was with.."
"I don't care-I don't want to hear it."He sighed in frustration."Let's just get this dinner over and done with so we can go home."Jeremy opened the door to the restaurant and allowed me to walk in ahead of him before following behind.
Dinner is definitely a bad idea!
Half way through our meal and things were going okay. Jeremy was being pleasant and Uncle Nate had forgiven his tardiness. The conversation we were on now however was causing a blush on my cheeks.
"Oh Come on.."My Uncle Nate said casually."You've been married a couple of months,you must have talked about Kids at some point."
Jeremy glanced in my direction,most likely hoping that I would reply so he didn't have to. But of course I didn't. "Well Vanessa and I are certainly not thinking about that yet. We want to spend the next couple of years enjoying each other before we discuss having kids."
"Lots of time."I finally decided to slide in a reply."I want to focus my energy on my classes at the studio."
"Do you still plan to have your own someday?"My uncle asked. He looked in Jeremy's direction."It was always Nessy's dream to open up her own dance studio,but I'm sure you know this already."
"Maybe at some point in the future. At the moment I rent the studio space for classes a couple of days a week."I set my fork down on my plate and rested back in my chair.
"I really wish that I had the time to drop by and check it out-But unfortunately I am on the first flight out in the morning."Uncle Nate released a sigh.
"Oh tomorrow?"I asked."I just thought that we still had a couple of more days."I thought he was still going to be around for 2 days at least.
"Trust me so did I! I'm meeting Finley after dinner,to say goodbye since I'm leaving so early."My Uncle smiled at me, causing a little crinkle of skin at the corners of his eyes."We can talk all the time. We could try that video call thing."
"Sure,I liked that."I believed him,I believed my Uncle Nate's effort to try to stay in contact when he leaves. When the accident happened and my Mom passed,my Uncle Nate was there for us but he had responsibilities of his own.
Finley and I were both old enough that we didn't need someone to live in and take care of us, well not for meals and making our beds in the morning. But the financial side of things we did!! I didn't want to burden him with money so I lied to him too. I found a way and worked it all out in the end.
Jeremy had driven us home in sulky silence and went straight upstairs to his bedroom, leaving me standing in the kitchen alone. I guess he's still pissed about that whole seeing me with a man thing. I kind of like that he's jealous, but I just wish that he would talk to me already.
mischievously,before picking me up off the bed and carrying me out of the room. I was giggling the entire way to his bed,when he laid me down on soft sheets.
I looked up at him as he leaned over me,totally mesmerised by the man that is my Husband. Fake husband I know-But Husband all the same. He's a Jealous man."That man I was with today was Alex. You know that he's Gay,We're friends that's all."
"I'm a well known man,Vanessa..And you're my wife. Pictures of you going into a dressing room with another man could cause trouble for me."He placed his palms flat either side of my head."I'm Jealous! I'm Jealous of any Prick that gets close to you."
I smirked,as I laced my arms around his neck."I find it cute that you're jealous."
"No more changing into lingerie around other men,even if that man is your Gay best friend. I'm the only one that gets to see this."He moved his hand up my body,bringing my t-shirt along with it. He kissed my skin,there was even some licking going on. He's told me before he likes how I taste.
Oh God!!How much more of this can I take? How long can I go without sleeping with him. I'm strong but he's making it extremely difficult.
