"Bella!"
"In here,darling," I answer.A few seconds after, my husband enters the kitchen, where I've been busy for the last hour cooking the dinner. He pecks me on the lips, running his hand along my back.
"Do you think you could save what you're cooking for tomorrow? I'd like to go out for dinner."
"You could have told me earlier" I pout.
Soon, his arms encircle my waist and he nuzzles my neck. "I know but it's a king of last minute plan. You remember my new colleague? Well, he suggested to have dinner together tonight with our wives and I loved the idea. I want you to meet him, you'll see how amazing he is."
I've been hearing him talking about that new mysterious colleague for weeks now. I must admit I'm a bit curious to meet him finally. From what I've learnt so far, he's in his early thirties like us, married with two kids. He recently joined the company and they immediately clicked professionally and personally.
"Oh your new awesome and amazing colleague? That one colleague who almost prefers to me, staying at work late to help him on his project?"
At first, I felt a bit suspicious. Who stays longer at work to help someone else? That's the perfect excuse to give when you have an affair , right? And then, I believed him. He often sends me texts with pictures of them working and eating take out in front of their laptops. But never have I seen the face of that colleague in plain sight.
So yeah I'm curious.
"Let me change clothes and let's go".
