You talkin' to me?

______________________________________

"Date?" I asked him.

"Yes, let's go on a date. A couple's date. A romantic one unlike the date you want to go to with that man." She said with a deep frown.

"I think he just wants us to go out. There is nothing bad with that." I said.

"Whatever!" He said.

"Whatever!" I said in a calm voice.

"Go and dress up, let's go shopping." He said as he took his phone and he started typing away.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

He looked confused for a moment before he nodded.

"Of course, I am." He responded before he continued using his phone .

He has been in a foul mood ever since he came to meet me at the pool area. I didn't know what was wrong with him so I had to ask him if he was alright.

I went to the toilet to take a shower, after when I was done, I went to the other room to dress up. I thought my husband was going to look at me with lust and take me on the bed when I went out of the toilet with an ordinary towel but he was so focused on his phone to notice me. Even when he did look at my direction, he glanced back on his phone almost immediately and continued what he was doing.

"I am done." I announced immediately I got to the room but I was welcomed by an empty room. I smell weed coming from the balcony. I went to the door and knocked on it. He threw the wrap on the floor and stepped on it. He let out the smoke in his mouth and came inside the room.

He passed me by saying;

"Excuse me" and went to the toilet. 

Is he okay? 

He has been acting weirdly since he came to meet me at the pool.

"Let's go." He opened the door and I went out. He closed it after he got out of the room.

"Here we are." He said as he pulled over in front of a building. I went out of the car myself waiting for him to get out.

"I would have," he said as he looked at the door.

"No need. Not Every Time." I said as I walked to his side. I lingered my fingers in his. He looked down at what I just did. He was confused but he looked away. I smiled.

We walked inside the building. It was a boutique. 

Wow! This is amazing. 

"Let's shop. You can buy anything you need." He said. 

"Okay, let's go." I told him.

"You are welcome, please have fun shopping." A staff member welcomed us.

We walked to the cloth area. I let go of his hand to check the clothes out.

"I have enough clothes, you know." I told him.

"Just shop, I know you do." He said in a low tone.

I started picking clothes for Loana. I hope she likes it. I picked clothes for Sarah and myself. I also picked bags and shoes for us. I went to the make section and bought Ruslan and Denis clothes and shoes including buying for my husband. He was nowhere to be seen so I shopped alone.

"Irina." He called behind me and I turned to see him holding out a red long dress.

"You should try this. The changing room is over there." He said.

"You want me to try the dress. Why?" I asked him with confusion.

"I am looking for a dress for you for our date tonight, so I don't know...." He stuttered at the end.

I can't believe he can be so shy right now. Who knows he can be this shy. 

I can't believe he is looking for a dress for me. How romantic of him.

"Okay?" I collected the dress from him  and went to the changing room. I undressed and tried the dress on. After wearing it, I went out to show him.

"Here." I said to him,

He looked at the dress for a while before he opened his mouth to talk but nothing came out.

"Is it bad?" I asked him.

"No, totally not, turn around." He said and I did as he said.

"It's too tight. Let me check another dress for you." 

"It's nice. I love it." I objected.

"No, it is showing your shape and also, your cleavage is exposed." He said as he went to check for another dress.

"So what's wrong with it?" I asked him as I followed him.

"Everything is wrong with it." he said.

"Well, I see nothing wrong with it. So I will wear this tonight." I said stubbornly.

He turned his deaf ear to me as he chose another dress and gave it to me.

"Go and try this out." He said as if he was talking to his daughter.

"I am not... I like this dress" I said.

"I am waiting. We don't have enough time." He said.

I went to the changing room and changed into a black dress. The dress is worse than the first one. It has slits from the Hem to my laps. I went to him to show him. He looked at the dress in disgust and gave me another dress to try on. And that's how I ended up trying almost thirteen dresses which he disapproved of.

I ended up taking the first dress myself without his consent. 

I think he wants me to wear a dress that covers everything and that is not tight on me, but I am not a nun. I have to wear a sexy dress for tonight. 

When I told him I was going for the first dress. He didn't say anything. He only said.

"There are only slutty dresses in this store." And he hissed.

I chose nude heels with it. I also brought his dress for tonight which he is cool with. Why can't he disapprove of me wearing the dresses he bought for me? Why is it that it was only my dress that he disapproved of?

"We are done. Let's go pay" I told him.

"No, I still need to buy you something." He said.

"What's that?" I asked him.

"Cosmetics." He replied.

"Cosmetics? Why? I don't need them." I said to him.

"I know you don't need them but don't blame me, I feel like trying them on your face. I am sure they will look good on you." He said.

"Can you take me to the cosmetics area?" He asked the female attendant and she nodded.
