"So Babe, I was thinking. How would you feel about trying out a club?" Sam nonchalantly asked over breakfast. He brought it up like he wanted to check out a new restaurant.
Libby spit up her coffee. It's not what she expected to talk about at this hour, right before they were leaving each other for the day.
"Um? Say whaaat?" she asked half-heartedly laughing. He was kidding, right? But the look on his face? He didn't break his composure.
She knew what he was implying, but she had to hear it from his lips. They had talked about it a handful of times during sex, but nothing ever came of it. And when they did talk about it fully clothed, they'd gotten into an argument, usually because of Libby.
She couldn't stand the thought of Sam with another woman. She was madly in love with the man. He picked her and since then, she was terrified he would wake up and realize she wasn't the right one for him and he would choose another more sophisticated woman, preferably with larger breasts and one who wasn't afraid to add more spice into their life.
"What do you mean? Like a night club that plays music or...?"
"Well,I was thinking more along the lines of a club with a little more action."
This had Libby's attention peaked. He most certainly wasn't talking about a night club where you sit and listen to Jazz.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I don't know. What are you thinking?"
She let out a snicker. "Are you serious?"
"Hmm...mmmm," he said swallowing the last bit of coffee.
Libby cocked an eyebrow at him.
"You don't have to commit to anything right now, but I would like you to give this some careful thought and consideration. You might just like it.
She could only nod in response.
"Libby, you know I only love you. I'm not going anywhere, alright? Just think about it, okay? No pressure.
"Okay," she tried to say brightly.
He really wasn't trying to make her angry, so she let the feeling subside.
"Well, on that note, I gotta run or I'm going to be late. We can talk more about it tonight, okay?" He gave her a quick peck on the cheek and was off.
Eventually the initial shock of what he proposed eased, as she lost herself in her work, but on her drive home she soon found her mind wandering back to her initial emotions of jealousy and that all too familiar residual spark of anger.
