A Dinner Affair

Well, first we had sex

But you already knew that

I told you, remember

That Kate and I had sex

The thing is...

I said we had sex

And then each of us went home

It was amazing, mind-blowing sex

Followed by nothing

That was what I said

And we didn't get to talk too much about it

Because you'd just gotten home

From having sex with Eduardo

And we had to pick up Chrissy

At the baby-sitter's

But I didn't...

I didn't tell you

April, honey, we ate dinner

I don't know how it started

We were just sitting there

And she mentioned being hungry

And I should have just left

Right there and then

I should have gotten up and left

But...

I was kind of...

Hungry too

I mean you and I

Haven't eaten together

For awhile

You're always grabbing something to eat

On the way to work

And I'm always stuck here at home

Eating by myself

And I'm not--blaming you for that

It's just--

It was really nice to have someone

Want to eat with me again

So...

I told myself

We're just going to do appetizers

So we had some salad

And it was...

I don't know

It had just been so long

And the salad was so good

And before I knew it

We were getting steak

Really juicy steak

The best steak I've ever had

Yes, better than the steak you make me

I'm sorry, but it's true

This steak made me feel alive again

It made me feel like I haven't felt

Since I was in my twenties!

And I was enjoying it

And Kate was enjoying it

And we were--

God forgive me

We were feeding each other

Eating off each other's plates

Wiping gravy off each other's chins

It was so wrong

But it felt sooo amazing

Then finally, because why not, right?

Why not go there

We'd already--

We--

We had dessert

Please, Kate, don't walk out

I want to talk about this

Look, it was just different

It wasn't

It didn't

Necessarily

Mean

That

There

Was something

Emotional

There

I mean, clearly there was--

We had croutons in the salad

You know how I feel about croutons

But I couldn't say 'No'

I just couldn't stop myself

When it was over

I cried

She held me

And I cried

And I instantly regretted

Everything

The meal was fantastic

But I never meant to hurt you

Please, you have to forgive me

Look, we can fix this

We can go to a restaurant right now

Or I can make you dinner

Kate, please

Just let me make you dinner

I don't want to lose you over this

. . . . .

Fine

All right

Well...

Call me when you get back

From having sex with Nate

And maybe...

Maybe we can sit up

And...

I don't know

Have a snack or something
