Chapter 11

Before you know it, its Wednesday, Alana is wondering all day at work how tonight is going to go. She is a bit excited and it gave her something to look forward to. She just hopes, it's worth it.

One the other hand, Luke is also thinking about tonight. How she will be out with her husband, and how he will get to be close to her and touch her. He has to admit to himself it bothers him, it just shouldn't. He thinks of her husband's hands all over her, his mouth on hers, he just wishes it would be him.

Then he just goes back to focusing on his work, hoping that no matter what does happen she will be happy.

The day progresses and Alana goes home from work, going straight to the shower to get washed and dressed. She puts on a tight black short, V-neck dress, with black high heels. She adds some curls to her hair and some perfume. Feeling sexy for the evening ahead of her.

She grabs her small overnight bag, and her black coat and heads outside, to wait for Thomas. She knew he would be there on time, that was just the way he was.

She sees the car pull up, Thomas beeping the horn for her to get in. Alana goes up to the car, putting the overnight bag in the backseat, and taking a seat in the front.

"Hi, how was your day?" Alana asks.

"It was good, We can stop into the hotel room to drop off your things, then head to dinner," Thomas says.

"That sounds fine," Alana responds.

They get to the Windsor suites 3 miles from Center City Philadelphia. The place is gorgeous and up to date, they both go up to their room, which has a king-size bed, and a large window to look out into the city. Alana goes into the bathroom after laying her bag down on the cream plush armchair next to the bed. She goes in taking off her coat and fixing her hair and makeup.

When she walks out of the bedroom, Thomas just looks at her, a bit shocked.

"Don't you think that dress is a bit tight? Not to mention a bit revealing?" Thomas says.

"That's the whole point Thomas, It's sexy, to seduce you. Don't you like it?" Alana asks.

"Not really, I don't like that other men will be seeing you like that. They will get the wrong idea of you." Thomas Says.

"Grow up Thomas, it's just a dress. You need to relax, it's not even that sexy. Just enjoy the night." Alana answers grabbing his hand and taking him to the elevator.

They head next door to the attached restaurant both taking a seat.

"This is very nice, thank you, Thomas," Alana says.

"Your welcome. I do enjoy spending time with you. You are my wife, I just get very busy with work. You know I have worked my way up and I want to stay that way." Thomas admits.

"It's nice to hear you say that. Sometimes I wonder if you still wanted to be around me. I do know you work hard to give us the life we have, I just would like to be with you more." Alana states.

"I understand that. I will try. Let's just enjoy the night." Thomas replies.

Alana just smiles at him, sipping on her wine.

Thomas orders surf n tuff, and Alana orders the flounder stuffed with crab meat.

Alana had to admit Thomas did try to give them a nice life, it was why all these years she let so many other things go. Just was stuff worth losing out on so many other things? Then the stability was good to have. Knowing someone was there to take care of you, financially, also Thomas being there for their son, it meant a lot. Just her other wants were now, being harder to contain.

The dinner goes well, they talk about work, their son, and a few other things keeping things nice and calm. Both trying for the night to go well.

Thomas knew that Alana wanted more, he just wasn't sure he could give her what she wanted. It wasn't him. He didn't see her as a sexual creature, he saw her as the mother of his child. He also liked knowing he had the family at home but was more into his work than anything else. It took over is being. He worked all these years to get where he wanted to be, where, with Alana, he didn't feel he had to work for it. He already got it. She was his wife, he felt she wasn't going anywhere. He was secure in their marriage, and in is homelife. He felt she was just messing around with her love stories, and she would let it go as she has in the past.
