"Jerome, we have been invited over to the Madison's house for dinner." Esmé explained before turning on her heel and leaving.
Jerome grinned in glee, not only would they be seen together, but at the innest couples house. Surely Esmé would have to kiss him, he was her boss and she could get a raise just for being in. He hurried to the bathroom, the in dinner time was in half an hour. He had a quick shower and brushed his teeth. He went to quickly say good bye to kids before he met Esmé at the door.
Jerome's jaw dropped a slight bit as he saw Esmé. Black gowns were in for dinner parties and Esmé's was low cut with light ruffles on it. Her pearl necklace sat on her collar bone. She had left her hair down he loved it like that. Motioning him towards the door they made their descent down that stairs.
A short cab ride and a lot of small talk later he sat next to Esmé in a very fancy dining room. The Madison's had been making a big scene kissing all the time and sharing food. Esmé hadn't touched him. But then…
A delicate hand touched his, it came up and touched the corner of his mouth. Esmé wiped a bit of food of him lovingly, with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. The hand was rested on his chin it pulled him closer. Somewhere in the distance he heard Esmé make a joke about him being slob. 'she is moving closer and yes…yes…here it is….' her lips touched his. They were warm and soft and wet, he could smell the flowery perfume of her hair. He reached out his hand and rested it on her neck.
Jerome snapped out of slow motion, fireworks, goo goo ga ga mode and looked up as Mr. Madison said " Well ,Jerome, you sure are a lucky guy"
"Yes…yes I am…" he said with a smile. He was the luckiest man on earth.
