You've Ruined Me
This is a little different take on a scene from The Late Mr. Brent when Jill says she's jealous.
"I wanna know 2 things: A, are you sure she understands you're a happily married man. And B…are you a happily married man?"
Mike couldn't help but laugh. Jill was not in a laughing mood, however, and rolled away from him. "I'm serious, Mike."
Mike stroked her arm and coaxed her to turn back towards him so that they were both lying on their sides, facing one another. "I am, too, Baby. I laughed because I can't believe you don't know by now that you've ruined me for any other women." When Jill looked quizzical, Mike knew he needed to provide a fuller explanation. He gathered his thoughts, wanting to make sure Jill knew just how much she meant to him.
"Baby, there isn't any other woman who can hold a candle to you." Jill let a smile sneak out as he continued. "You are the sweetest, toughest, sexiest woman I've ever known or hope to know." That really caused Jill to smile so Mike knew he was succeeding.
"Am I a happily married man? 'Happy' doesn't begin to describe it. I am amazed every day that I get to wake up to you and come home to you."
Jill was very surprised at what Mike was saying. He didn't hesitate to tell her he loved her but he wasn't one to go on about his feelings so she had to ask "What do you mean 'I ruined you for other women'?"
Now it was Mike's turn to smile. "Who else is going to put up with me? I can't seem to find the hamper with my dirty clothes."
"That's true" and Jill nodded in mock seriousness.
"I want to be in bed by 10".
"You are kinda boring, Danko" said Jill.
"And I can't comprehend tomorrow without you," Mike finished.
Jill reached out to rest her hand against his chest. "Well, since I do put up with so much from you, I could let you make it up to me."
Now it was Mike's turn to smile. "I am your humble servant. What is your command?"
She slid her hand under his t-shirt and began lightly stroking his side and stomach. "Well, there is that thing we tried on our trip to Catalina. You said you needed more practice to get it just right."
Mike was getting very distracted by what Jill was doing with her hand but he nodded. "There's another example right there. You put up with my perfectionist tendencies." And he leaned in to kiss her.
