She came home early, to get everything prepared. All his favorite foods were made and waiting, the house was clean, the table set just so. Her grandmother's candlesticks stood on the table, just to add that little bit of ambiance.
A little bit of time before he got home. Just enough time to get ready.
She went upstairs into the bathroom and fixed her hair, curling it just a little, to give it some shape. He liked it loose, falling down her back, so she didn't bother to do more than curl it and run a brush through it. Next, a little bit of makeup, just to accent her god-given gifts. He doesn't like women who wear a lot of makeup, and that's perfectly fine with her.
After that: clothes. Something special. Or maybe, something she has but hasn't worn in a long time, but knows he likes. Hopefully it still fits. There it is, tucked away in the back of her closet. Oo, didn't realize it was that small. Was she ever really that size? Well, here goes nothing...
Oh, my. A little tight. Must have put on a few pounds since she wore it last. But, the mirror says it still looks good. Maybe even a little better than before. The stretchy fabric definitely hugs her in all the right places. She looks curvier than she recalls being in this dress. And the skirt at mid-thigh... Did she ever really have the nerve to wear this in public? Oh well, tonight nobody else will see.
Shoes. Hmmm... Not those... not those... definitely not those... Ah yes, there they are. Perfect. Heel a comfortable height, but still high enough to be special.
Well, what does the mirror say? My oh my. Well, if she was the type, she'd certainly want to go out with herself. He should like this a lot.
Back downstairs, and wait. Should she get something to read to pass the time? No, it would be better if it looked like she was waiting just for him.
Finally. Seemed like hours. Need to get the candles lit before he gets in the house so she can meet him at the door.
Oops, the door handle is turning. Light, candle, light! There! Dash over to the door before he's completely in the house.
Oh, poor boy! Looks like a rough day at work. He looks the wrong direction at first but then his eyes light on the candles on the table. He starts to speak but she holds a finger to his lips to silence any questions. She reaches up and straightens his tie and coat, then stretches up to kiss him gently on the lips.
This is the first he's really gotten a look at her since he got home. His eyes sparkle at the sight. A smile she hasn't seen in a long time brightens his previously drawn and weary face. He holds her at arms' length to get a better look, even steps back a little. His eyes devour every curve the clinging dress accentuates. She gives a slow little runway turn so he can appreciate the complete package. And appreciate he does. He definitely isn't tired any more! Promises are being made, and she can tell he intends her to keep them.
After it's certain he's gotten a good look, she takes his hands and pulls him to the table and indicates he should sit. When he's seated, she gets the plates she prepared earlier and sets one at each place. She offers for him to pour wine, which he does gladly. While he pours, she sits, conscious of the squeeze of her dress on her body.
As they eat, meaningful looks pass between them over the candles' light. Slight smiles on each face persist even as they eat. She's pleased he's enjoying himself, he's pleased at the view and the excellent dinner. The love in the air is palpable. They almost feel they could reach out and grab some of it and save it for later.
At one point during the meal, she drops a shoe from one foot and reaches it out to him, tucking it under his pants leg. He starts a little at this, he isn't used to playing footsie under the table. She runs her toes up and down his ankle and calf as far as she can. He's having a little trouble concentrating on his meal, but that's okay. Finally she removes her foot from inside his pants leg and starts to caress up and down his legs with that foot.
Eventually he abandons all pretense at trying to eat and simply looks her in the eye while she teases, a coquettish look on her face while she does so. Her foot rubs up and down, up and down, then reaches in to go as far between his thighs as possible. Her legs are too short. Darn. He laughs as she tries to rub his crotch with her foot under the table, mostly because of the look of concentration on her face while she grips the table's edge as she strains to tease his jewels with her foot.
After a few moments of this, they both burst out laughing. Smiling broadly at one another, they both lean in over the table and kiss. Quickly they finish their meal, eager to continue on with some of the promises made earlier.
