Husband
Planned the Day!
On the morning
of April 13th, I woke up to the smell of Lever 2000. Much to my
surprise, my husband was up before me. This was our 5th wedding
anniversary and I was excited. The previous night, before I went
to bed, my husband told me today would be a day I would never
forget. As I sat up, wiped my eyes, and rolled out of bed, I saw
the first of many surprises to come. There was a tray beside the
bed with one red rose, a gift bag, and an envelope. The envelope
read, “To My Bride”. The note inside instructed me
to grab the gift bag and proceed to the bathroom.
Inside the bag was
the Victoria Secret Garden ‘Love Spell’ collection.
I entered the shower where my husband was patiently waiting for
me. He instructed me not to lift a finger and not to say a word.
He proceeded to wash my hair, face and body with his hands. As
he washed me, he graced me with the sweetest compliments as he
moved his hands to a new area of my body. He assured me that as
the years go by, he not only enjoys seeing the changes the years
bring, he welcomes them. He was very gentle, very sensual. And
very sweet. He led me from the shower to the bed and continued
the string of compliments as he dried me off, lotioned my skin,
and helped me dress.
First stop,
brunch. It was around noon, and I was famished. He took me to
a breakfast buffet, which is my favorite. When I returned from
one of my many trips to the buffet table, I found a long, black,
velvet box. I opened it, and inside was a sterling silver spoon
with an inscription that read, “I want to spoon with you
forever”. We sat in a small corner booth and fed each other.
We took our time. Enjoying each other without having to rush anywhere
was wonderful.
Next stop – the
boutique. He knows that I LOVE boutiques. They just seem to cater
to my style of dress, especially when I’m looking for something
elegant and sexy. To my surprise, we were not going to shop. My
husband had already picked out the dress he wanted me to wear
for the evening. I was just going to give them my measurements
as the dress was a surprise.
And where are we going
off to now?
My husband took me
to one of the premier spas downtown. What a sweetheart he is!
It was the “all I needed” for so “all so long”.
He scheduled a total body massage for both of us. And we were
in the room together. At one point, we just lay there staring
into each other’s eyes. The things we said to each other
with our eyes, it took the meaning of foreplay to another level.
From there my husband dropped me off at the salon to get my hair
and nails done. It was almost 5:30 pm and I was almost done when
he arrived to pick me up. He had tickets for a dinner cruise from
downtown NY harbor and boarding was from 6:30 – 7pm. We
rushed home and when I got there, there was a long, black gown
with silver spaghetti straps. There was also a long black evening
coat just with three sparkling buttons. Hanging on the same hanger
was a shoe bag. Inside was a pair of black pumps with satin ankle
straps. The dress was almost perfect. It was just a little more
snug than I would have preferred, but nothing that a little corset
wouldn’t fix. The hem of the dress landed just at the top
of my ankles and the split on each side ended just above my knee.
The coat was just as long as my dress. It took longer than usual
to get dressed because he insisted on helping (which included
extra touching, playing, and modeling occasionally).
We missed
the dinner cruise, which worked out to be a good thing. We opted
to go to our favorite seafood restaurant instead. Dinner and conversation
was warm and familiar. It sparked the revival of a romance that
sometimes gets pushed aside for everyday responsibilities. And
when we were silent, it was even more romantic, more familiar,
more comfortable. It reminded us why we endure the day-to-day,
the arguments, and the struggles. Stolen moments like these make
it worthwhile. To sit in a moment staring into the face of the
one person that still takes my breath away, the one person that
I love with everything I have, and to know that person loves me
back.
We strolled
the streets of downtown Manhattan hand in hand, talking, laughing.
I just enjoyed being with my best friend, life partner, protector,
and admirer with whom I am so deeply in love with.
By the time
we got back home, I was so full. Dinner was great, but my emotions
were so overwhelming. So I loved him and he loved me back all
night. It was like a love song. And my soul danced with his. There
were no spoken words, but there was music and understanding.
