Reservation for dinner.

I woke up groggily and stumbled my way to the powder room to piss. After I emptied my bladder I wandered over to the kitchen where the girls, already changed to casual t-shirts and yoga pants, were chatting over coffee.

"Look who finally woke up!" Elizabeth cheered. "How was your nap, honey?"

"Great," I replied, pouring myself some coffee. "With this coffee I'll be fully recharged for you girls again!"

"Not until after dinner," she corrected.

"We're not staying here for dinner?"

"We're not having pizza again," Elizabeth insisted. "Besides, this may be the last night all of us will be together as a group so I made a reservation at Cioppino's."

"Doesn't it takes weeks to get a table there?"

She rolled her eyes at me. "I'm your wife, remember? I booked ahead last month while I was planning our housewarming party!"

"When's the reservation for?"

"Six," Stephanie answered. "That'll give us a couple hours to look pretty for you!"

"You girls are already gorgeous without your make-up and clothes!" I chuckled.

I got a couple punches to the shoulder and slaps on the ass for the compliment.

"Well, I got dibs for the shower," I stated after draining my mug of coffee. "Anyone want to join me to preserve some water?"

I noticed that Talia bit her lower lip but Elizabeth cut her off before she could be tempted to answer me. "No sex until after dinner, Ian!"

"Fine but when there's a drought you know it was preventable!" I laughed and waved. I knew my wife was right that I should preserve my energy for later because we were going to celebrate our last together as a group.
