Watching a couple....I wonder?
The other day, a couple of my girlfriends and I went to a wonderful place to have lunch next to the ocean. We didn't get a window seat but one close to the window so that we still had an ocean view and a view of folks walking on the grounds below. The conversation and food was great. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. The best part was when a couple sat next to the window in front of us Then the story begins...
She was all dressed up with the dress up to here and the cleavage down to there and high heels. He on the other hand was in a jersey with the sleeves cut off, shorts, baseball cap and a bit scruffy. Both had lots of jewelry. but because they were loud I couldn't help but notice them. They weren't speaking English so we couldn't eavesdrop well. Because of their appearances the questions came. Are they married? Are they having an affair? Are they just friends? Did he pick her up? Okay so its none of my business but people watching is such great fun. And they were talking in another language so the only way to translate to eavesdrop was to watch them!!
As we continued with our lunch we could not help but notice that the man kept leaning over the table to feed her. I thought "maybe she has a physical condition." But no she had full use of her hands. Bite by bite he would spoon food into her mouth. It wasn't even sexy it was like, "here eat this!" It wasn't a, "Gosh this is good, want a taste?" Okay so I made some comment about him feeding her but each couple is different. Then he fixed her tea, pouring honey into it stirring it and then letting her sample it. This wouldn't be such a big deal for me but the cup was in front of her the whole time, he kept reaching over the table which of course made me watch him more. Then we started saying, that he probably will go with her to the bathroom too!!! laughing about so much attention. (maybe envy on our part). So guess what, she leaned over to him, he got up and walked her to the bathroom. I didn't dare to see if he went in with her too!!!
Then he tells the waitress this is "my wife." Maybe that was for our benefit. The only time he spoke English. So we noticed that they had rings, big diamonds. so maybe he is just a doting slob. Then, she pulls out two cell phones and puts them on the table!!! Then we started wondering why two cell phones? Then she pulled out her money to pay the bill and they did the arguing back and forth about paying, eventually he did pay. Boy what a wife! I mean, "Boy, what a life!"
