A dying breed 1

A dying breed 1
 *
The kitchen is sparkling clean
The air is inviting like his smile
My man is in his new black suit
The candle light dinner is smelling so yummie, it's dinner for two
-
"Where are the kids?" I asked still shocked, my smile is up to my ears
I wasn't expecting this today
Before he could answer I asked again
"What is going on, our anniversary is in three months, what am I missing?"
My smile is still on his serious face. With his bowtie he's like my favorite actor Sean Connery the original James Bond. I'm still smiling like a teenager.
"Nothing is going on and the kids are with your mother I asked her nicely to just have them for tonight I want to do something special for you."
This must be serious he doesn't like my mom, they both have thick skulls but I love them both too much.
"My mom, agreed to have the kids on a school night, let alone agreeing with you?! Wow now I'm convinced this is serious. Can I go upstairs and put on a fresh dress like you then?"
He's overwhelming me with his everything this evening. He's more than a gentleman, he's seriously expressing his love. This side of him is not new but I was starting to miss it.
"You were really beautiful this morning on that dress, I'm sorry I didn't say anything this morning. I bought that dress for you in Rodeo Drive. I still remember the day and the time and how special the evening was when I took it off..."
'Wow keep talking Mr.' I said that to myself remembering everything about that day. My God he's recreating that day. He remembers. All day at work today I was living that day. I thought he didn't notice the dress. I thought he had forgotten about our night in Beverly Hills. 
His touch on my hands when he was taking me to my chair had all the feelings of that day. My heart started pumping fast I wanted to kiss him a thank you kiss but I hold myself. Obviously he's getting it all later. I'm already on that day. He's taking off this beautiful dress again exactly the way he did that day. I can't wait to finish this dinner. Are we gonna finish it I doubt that! I really love this man today, he's back. I missed him. Sometimes with three year old twins as a working mom your love is stolen by them but today was different. At work on this dress all I remembered was Beverly Hills, I really don't know he was thinking the same thing. Jeez he has completed my day, he's really getting it tonight. - Now back to my arrival
-
The table for two has all his signatures
My man can cook a storm
He's looking so cute he's up to something
I'm a very lucky woman, thanks God
Mother I love you but you're wrong about him
-
Mother you're right about one thing
Men like him are a dying breed
There's always something on the news
About some woman who died on the arms of someone she loves and care deeply about, last night a well respected business man choked his wife to death for suspicions
-
My God I'm not there,
I'm having my best evening
My man is in love
I'm in love Now! 
I'm happily married Now!
Mother get out of my head
You've had your time, 
You missing my dad 
I understand completely
-
I worry about her sometimes
She's right though, it's all over the papers
A good man really killed his loving wife
From the media good man are really a dying breed, look at the papers you'll see what the matches against women abuse are all about
