My SO and I were visiting one of her married girlfriends and her husband the other day. Discussion got around to vacations, my SO mentioned that we are going to Rome for a couple of weeks and her friend says "I wish we could go on vacation" Now I'm talking to the husband, but when I heard that comment I stopped listening to him and paid attention to what response my SO was going to give. Luckily she didn't say anything that was going to put me in an awkward position. But you better believe I knew something was coming.
And it did...
On the way home, my SO asks if we can take her friend and husband with us. "I've got a better idea" I say. "How about I leave all 3 of you here, you can rent a margarita machine and hang out by the pool while I'm gone."
I didn't say this out loud..."And I'll find an Eccie/P411 lady to take with me"
After some discussion, I finally told her "I'm not fucking taking them with us" She asked me if we could do something for them since their anniversary was coming up, I said "Sure"
My SO wanted to send them to a nice upscale restaurant since they don't really have the means to do so on their own. I told her to pick a place and we'll get them a gift card. She picks Bobs Steak and Chop House.
I purchased a gift card for $300, I wanted them to get whatever they wanted to eat plus a bottle of wine if they wanted.
Fast forward 2 weeks...
The husband calls me and asks if i know how to change a radiator and if I do can I help him change his. I tell him I know how and I'll be glad to help. I stop to pick up something for lunch on the way over and eat in the car. I get there and he asks if I'm hungry, I say "No" He says he is and do I mind if he eats something real quick. I tell him to go ahead. He throws a frozen salisbury steak tv dinner in the microwave. As it's cooking, I ask if he's been to Bobs yet. He has.
Me: How was it?
Him: Ok
Me: Was anything wrong?
Him: No
Me: Did ya'll like it?
Him: It was ok
Me: How was the food?
Him: It was alright
I dropped it. I figured either he sold the gift card or he was uncomfortable in a place like that. Which I understand. I don't care for the places that have 6 forks, 9 spoons, 3 knives in front of you and you're supposed to know what each of them is for. But throw me a bone man, tell me it was at least good.
His frozen dinner is ready. He takes off the plastic cover, grabs a fork and digs in. Now I like tv dinners also, hell I've got some of the El Charrito mexican tv dinners in my freezer right now.
He takes his first bite, closes his eyes, leans back in his chair and starts making yummy sounds. We're both at the table and I'm sitting right in front of him. The guy has the biggest grin on his face, he looks at me and says "That's the best piece of meat I've ever had, damn it's good" I start laughing because I think he's messin with me. He says "It is man, I love these things" I lean forward to get a better look at this hunk of meat. I ask "The best ever?" He takes another bite, makes more yummy sounds and just nods his head. I think I watched him have an orgasm while eating his lunch. When he's done I ask if he needs a cigarette because he just had the most amazing sex ever.
I didn't ask how his wife liked Bobs and I didn't tell my SO about his response either. I thought it was funny, but she might get mad. What's that acronym everyone uses? WALDT (We all like different things) I hope that's what it stands for, because it's certainly true here. My $300 got me a weird anecdote, I should have used it to get laid.
