Tammy's Quest for Romance
Part Two
Tammy stood up and took off the robe she had worn over the top of the all in-one body shaper that looked sexy and gave her a feeling of naughtiness, with the wine helping that feeling along a bit. She had always been good at applying makeup and had put her hair up with a discreet diamante hair clip. She slithered into the elegantly sexy dress, put on her shoes and like a young woman she eyed the results with her heart pounding as she heard the door go.
She walked down the stairs suppressing her nerves and a giggle. Walked past her two sons whose jaws dropped, very pleasingly to the floor.
‘Bloody hell’ they said in unison.
‘Look out dad your in trouble’ Josh smiled at his mum while James’s expression was priceless. Tammy said nothing as she walked through the lounge and was slightly annoyed that Mike still hadn’t looked around to see her. She kept her cool though and then as he turned with the TV remote to put football on he did a double take.
‘Well what do you think?’
His face was full of vacant disbelief and he said what he always said.
‘Very nice’
She knew it was coming but it still stung. Nonchalant as possible she turned and left the room. She went upstairs and took off the dress and put on her robe, picked up her book and walked down stairs, sat in her chair, switched on her reading light and started to read.
All three men were looking from each other to her. Their world had gone a little mad Tammy supposed. Her sons had never seen her as a woman as such and her husband had forgotten that she was not just a wife. Why had she listened to Sara? Nothing was going to change a sixty year old mans ways.
‘Aren’t we going out now then?’ Mike in total confusion asked.
‘Going out where?’ Tammy looked over her book at him.
‘I don’t know, it was just that you’d got dressed up and I thought I had forgotten that’, He trailed off.
‘No I was trying out a new look but it didn’t have enough impact so I’ll be taking the dress back on Monday. It was a bit of a waist anyhow as we don’t go out and well’
‘Why don’t you take mum out dad?’ James asked
Perhaps she had underestimated both her husband and her son’s girlfriend.
‘Where to, its no ones birthday, is it?’ there again perhaps not!
Josh tried to get through to his dad ‘Sometimes it’s nice to give mum a rest from cooking and the clearing up’
She felt sure Sara had pre warned Josh to what was happening and she felt very grateful to the younger woman and her son. It was worth a try but it was back to the drawing board.
‘What’s for tea’ he looked at Tammy
‘Stew’
‘With dumplings?’
‘No’ their eyes met and she was sure there was a hint or a glimmer of humour in her husbands eyes. Maybe it was working.
‘We best go out then.’ That was too easy she thought, what was going on? ‘Did you want to put that frock back on?’ He smiled at her and winked.
‘Depends’ she retorted just as the door bell went. Tammy went running upstairs, they weren’t expecting anyone and she was in no fit state to be greeting who ever it was.
