The Perfect Weekend

The Perfect weekend

By Tonya Love

Chuck and Lois had been married for 8 years. They have 4 kids and a stressful life. Lately they haven’t been able to connect because Lois works days and Chuck works nights and the kids fall in between those times. They love each other, no question on that but the responsibilities they face seem to be getting the upper hand in their relationship. They don’t have time to relax or enjoy one another anymore like they used to. They barely go out and sex has just become something they do to “get off” instead of connect.

It was Friday. Lois and Chuck usually tried to go out on Friday nights. Unwind from the week and have a little fun. This Friday Chuck surprised Lois. He was home when she got home from work, usually he’s already headed out.

“Heeey, you late for work?”

“No. I’m not going today.”

“ What’s wrong? Are you sick?”

“I took off because I’m taking you somewhere.”

“Where are we going?”

“Pack a bag.”

“Pack a bag?”

“Yes”

“Why?”

“I’m taking you to a lake house for the weekend.”

“Babe that is great but what about the kids?”

“All taken care of”

“Really?”

“Yes really, now pack a bag. I’m going to get showered and then we are leaving”

They packed up and headed out.

The Lake house was gorgeous and when they got inside there were flower petals on the floor and counters. On the counter also was a bottle of champagne.

“Chuck, how in the world did you pull this off?”

“I got my ways baby”

Lois was surprised and happy.

“Come sit down”

Chuck Sat her down on the couch.

“Now you relax while I prepare us some dinner”

He began to walk off and noticed she picked up her phone.

He yelled out “and no working “

She chuckled and turned the tv on instead.

When dinner is finished, Chuck calls Lois to the dining room where he has candles lit and more flowers. They sit down and enjoy a salmon dinner.

After dinner Chuck takes Lois out to the lake and the 2 of them are looking at the stars and dreaming about their future.

The next day is Saturday and Lois is awakened by the smell of bacon frying she grabs her robe and heads downstairs. Chuck is in his shorts with no shirt cooking. He’s jumping at the popping bacon. Lois giggles.

“Good morning. Chuck speaks with a smile on his face.

“Where’s your shirt?”

“I wanted to look sexy while cooking your breakfast.” He poses. “Is it working?”

She giggles again. “Yes it is but honey you can’t cook bacon without a shirt on.

“Aw it’s nothing” just as he speaks he gets popped and jumps. “Why don’t you go back to the room and I’ll be in with breakfast shortly.”

Lois heads back to the room.

Chuck fights with the bacon.

Soon Chuck walks in the room with breakfast on a tray. He has served Lois Belgian waffles, which are her favorite. They are topped with strawberries, blueberries and a little whipped cream. Her bacon is prepared with the perfect crisp that she likes. And she has a glass full of freshly squeezed orange juice. This day was really off to a good start.

Lois asked, “ do we have any plans for today?”

“Oh absolutely!” Chuck exclaimed with excitement in his voice. “I’m taking you on a shopping spree.”

“A shopping spree!” Lois jumped up and hugged Chuck tightly. She hadn’t been shopping for herself in such a long time.

“I’m also taking you to get your nails and toes done.”

Lois jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to get ready. This made Chuck smile to see his woman so happy.

After the shopping and pampering the two of them came back home and Chuck lit the grill while Lois sat in the hammock reading a book.

After dinner they went on the water in a little paddle boat. It was beautiful and peaceful. They exchanged soft light kisses and smiles. When night fell they lit the fire pit and roasted marshmallows until they were ready to go inside.

Back inside Lois is running her bath water. She sat on the side of the tub thinking about the weekend and how she felt celebrated as a woman. How she didn’t feel like a mom this weekend but a sexy lady. She also thought about having to check out of the lake house tomorrow and head back to reality. Her daydreams are quickly interrupted by Chuck standing in the doorway with just a towel on.

“Mind if I join you?”

“Not at all”

The two of them get in the tub together, Lois sitting in between Chucks legs.

“Thank you for this weekend Chuck.”

“You’re welcome. Did you enjoy it?”

“It was amazing.”

“That’s what I like to hear. I love you. I want to make sure you get that time to feel like the beautiful woman you are.”

“Sometimes we can get stuck in a rut being a mom but I definitely feel like I was awakened this weekend.” She looks up at him. “I hope this isn’t the last time.”

“Of course not.”

He leans in and kisses her. She turns around and starts to run the loofah across his chest. He runs his loofah across her back. They lather the loofahs and wash each other. After a while, Chuck stands up and gets out of the tub, he reaches his hand out for Lois’s his hand, and she takes it. She thinks now this is how a woman should be treated.
