Special Dinner
Jackie was busy making a special dinner for Nick, it was going to be like a mystery dinner, what Jackie was making was clues to the surprise she had for him, she wondered if he'd figure it out.
Jackie's dad took the kids for pizza and ice cream, Jackie didn't know who was more excited, him or the kids. He hadn't seen too much of the kids lately because he'd been working a lot of overtime so he'd asked Jackie if it was ok to steal them for the evening. She readily agreed and since she and Nick would have the house to themselves for the night she figured now was a good time for the surprise.
An hour later Nick got home. She came up to him and gave him a small kiss.
"I have a surprise for you tonight, but you have to figure out what my surprise is, I'm not going to tell you." She told him.
Nick smiled at her, he liked surprises, this should be fun.
Soon they sat down to eat.
"What?" Nick asked as he looked across the table at her and noticed she was staring at him with a big smile on her face.
"Nothing." She said.
Nick smiled back and then took a bite of his Caesar salad (That wasn't part of the surprise, it was just his favorite type of salad.)
She couldn't stand it anymore, she had to see if he was catching on.
"Nicky, do you notice anything about the dinner?" She asked.
He smiled at her "It's very good." He said sincerely.
She frowned.
"What I'm serious, that was a compliment." He told her.
He was confused by the look on her face.
"Thank you but that's not what I meant." She said.
He didn't get it, he shrugged his shoulders and popped a baby corn into his mouth.
"Did you make a Jell-O cake for dessert?" He asked sounding hopeful.
"Nope, I made miniature brownies." She told him.
He chuckled,
"Why doesn't that surprise me, you're a brownie addict." He said jokingly.
She grinned at him.
"But why miniature?" He asked.
She sighed at him, she was getting a tad bit frustrated with him, why wasn't he figuring it out?
"It's part of the surprise." She said with a smile.
"Are you saying that you signed us up for a gym membership and so you only made us mini desserts?" He joked.
"Yes honey, miniature brownies are the ideal food of every fitness trainer in the country." She said sarcastically.
"I was only kidding." He said.
"I'm not going to lose weight anytime soon I'm afraid, even if I did sign us up for a gym membership." She told him.
"You don't need to lose weight, that's not what I meant to imply, I'm so sorry if it came across that way." He said feeling bad, thinking that he'd hurt her feelings.
She sighed again and got up to grab a bottle of water out of the fridge. He hadn't hurt her feelings at all but she was getting irritated, why was he being so dense, he had to figure out puzzles for a living, and he was great at it so why was this so difficult?
"Honey, I'm sorry." He said sincerely when she didn't answer him.
He took a bite of his short ribs.
He thought that she was upset with him for making a joke about going to a gym. Clearly the couple were on two different wave lengths.
"You didn't hurt my feelings, you have nothing to be sorry for." She assured him with a smile as she sat back down.
"Good." He smiled back.
"So what's the surprise?" He asked eagerly.
She just sighed again….
