The devious grin seemed etched on Nikki's lips for quite some time, and Chris took note of it.  It was almost as if she was just as, if not more eager, to go out to celebrate his 35th Birthday.  Or perhaps she was just as stressed and wanted to drink and dance the night away.  And it was the perfect excuse for her to wear the dress she was in love with but didn't have the confidence to wear up until now.<br/><strong>"I'm absolutely sure Hun!  Been dying to see you in that dress!" </strong>he smiled!<strong>"Plus, it has been ages since we let loose and been out on the town. Hell I don't even know where to go, it's been so long! I'll leave it all up to you!"</strong>he smiled, stood up give his wife a soft kiss on the lips and excused himself upstairs, once his football game ended.<br/><br/>The hours slowly passed, decided to shave, shower and then settled on a pair of dark denim jeans, gray button down with some loafers to pair with his chosen outfit of the night.  Nothing too casual, but comfortable.  He neatly brushed his hair,  sprayed a few sprays of his and his wife's favorite cologne,Yves Saint Laurent, and checked his appearance in the mirror.<strong>"Babe I'm out of the shower"</strong>he called, allowing Nikki her turn to Shower and get ready.  Realizing this could take her about an hour, he stepped out, to put gas in the car and stop at the ATM for some cash. He hoped by the time he returned she would be close to being done, but one could never tell.  As most married men knew, or learned the hard way, rushing a wife to hurry up certainly almost always instinctively made them take longer, out of spite.<br/><br/>Chris returned about 40 minutes later, with a full tank of Gas and enough cash to last them the night.  He almost had butterflies, which amused him, because although he had been married for quite some time, they hadn't had a date night in the longest time.  Ordering Pizza and watching the latest Netflix special, or going to see a movie here and there didn't qualify as a real date, but as of late thats all the couple managed to do when they did have the rare moments of quality time together.<br/><br/><strong>"Hun I'm back.  Almost ready?"</strong>he called up the foyer stairs which lead to the bedrooms. He glanced at his watch it was just after 7:00PM. He stood with anticipation and excitement, waiting not only for a positive response from his wife, but anxious to see her in the dress.
