Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

We didn't even have menus. "I came here a lot. I know everything on the menu" Jeremy explained. I nodded in understanding. Jeremy whispered something in Christian's ear and he started writing on his notepad. I guess Jeremy is ordering for the both of us. It's a good thing that I'm not allergic to anything.

Christian laughed as he wrote some more down. "Tout suite" Christian said in a chipper voice before exiting the room. He gently closed the doors behind him.

"I have no idea what he just said"

Jeremy chuckled. "The exact translation is right now. So it's basically saying right away" he explained. "Do you like the restaurant?" Jeremy asked, changing the subject.

I quickly nodded my head. "It's gorgeous" I said in awe. I flipped my cup right side up and placed my napkin on my lap. That's what people do in nice restaurants, right? "When my mom told us to go out tonight, I did not expect you to go all out like this" I admitted.
