"You look gorgeous" Nick smiled, walking into their bedroom to find Zoe applying her makeup ready for her night out. Originally she had decided that she would go and spend some time with her mum, but a proper night out with Linda and Jess seemed like a much more appealing option to her; she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had had a good girls night out.
Zoe smiled through her dressing table mirror as she saw Nick approaching her and sitting himself on the edge of the bed behind her "Are you sure you're going to be alright without me?" She asked, swinging her legs around to face him. Although Nick was quite capable of looking after 4 children, she still felt guilty for going out and leaving him.
Nick nodded "Yes I am quite capable Zoe believe it or not" He chuckled, wrapping his arms around her waist as she stood up, pulling her closer to him as she stood in between his legs "You look too good to be going out" He said, running his hands up and down the backs of her thighs and just slightly under her short dressing gown, enough to tease her.
"That is the idea" She laughed, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck as he continued to pull her body closer "I really need to go and get changed" She said, leaning down to kiss him before attempting to wiggle away from his grasp, "Nick, I need to go" She groaned when Nick didn't release his hold of her body.
"5 minutes?" Nick questioned, teasingly raising his eyebrows as his hands worked their way to the front of her dressing gown, slowly untying the knot that held it together and allowing it to drop to the floor "Are you sure you really want to be going out?" He continued to tease her, running his hands across the edge of her lace underwear.
Zoe groaned in frustration as his hands continued to work their way around and across her body "As good as a night in bed with you sounds Mr Jordan, I have promised the girls I'm going out" She told him, trying to resist the temptation of kissing him back as his lips met hers "But I'm sure if you wait up for me" She added, raising her eyebrows.
"I'll make sure I do" He grinned, releasing his grip so she could finally get changed into something appropriate to go out in. She headed to her wardrobe and picked out a tight black body con dress. She had only just gotten her pre-pregnancy figure back so wasn't going to turn down an opportunity to show it off whenever she could.
"Can you just Zip my dress up for me" She asked, backing towards the bed to Nick who was still sitting and watching as she got changed.
He zipped up the dress and she headed back to her wardrobe and pulled out her new pair of Jimmy Choo heels.
"They're new" Nick commented as she slipped them onto her feet.
"Yeah I brought them the other day" Zoe replied, as she admired her new shoes through the mirror.
"How much were they?" Nick asked, noticing the Jimmy Choo box that she had left lying on the floor. He knew very well that no pair of shoes Zoe owned came cheap.
"Relax, I brought them with my money" She assured him "Besides they look gorgeous don't they" She added, continuing to admire them as she applied her lipstick.
"You could pull anything off" He complemented her "You don't need to spend a hundred pounds on a pair of shoes"
"Try £400" She grinned, watching as his facial expression dropped.
"Bloody hell Zoe" Nick exclaimed. He knew she spent a fortune on shoes, but not that much.
"I can afford it" She smugly replied, leaning down to kiss him as she walked back towards him "Besides, I'm sure you won't complain when I'm wearing them to work" She grinned.
"Definitely not" Nick grinned, mumbling against her lips as he kissed her back once more.
Zoe pulled away from their kiss, keeping her hands loosely around the back of his neck, toying with his hair as she raked her nails across his skull "I might even keep them on for you tonight" She seductively teased, running her tongue across the outline of her lips.
Nick let out a dirty chuckle "You are such a bad girl" He grinned, patting her bum as he attempted to pull her closer to him once again.
"I know" Zoe confidently replied, kissing him again before pulling away and walking out of the room, causing Nick to follow her downstairs.
"That dress should be illegal" He commented, his eyes completely fixed on her as he followed her into the kitchen.
"It's all for your benefit Mr Jordan" She teased, slipping on her coat and adding contents to her bag.
"Wow mum, you look so nice" Maisie gasped as she entered the room.
"Thanks sweetheart" Zoe smiled "Are you going to be good for you dad?" She asked.
"Yeah" Maisie nodded "I'm always good" She cheekily grinned.
"Of course you are" Zoe chuckled "Where are Oliver and Phoebe?" She asked, wanting to say goodbye to them all before she left.
"They're in the front room" Maisie told her as they all heard the taxi pull up outside.
"Bye you two" Zoe called as she appeared into the front room to find them both sat watching TV.
"Bye mum" They both called in unison, keeping their eyes fixed on whatever gripping children's programme they were watching.
"Have a nice time mum" Maisie smiled, wrapping her arms tightly around Zoe's waist as she said goodbye.
"Don't get too drunk" Nick joked, placing his hand on her waist as he kissed her goodbye.
"You love me when I'm drunk" She whispered in his ear, before kissing him goodbye once more, putting all effort into forcing herself away from her husband "I won't be long" She added "Love you all" She called, before finally leaving.
