To Love a Wife

One

I sat on the couch as I was sketching a new dress for my upcoming fashion show. I was watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians in the mean time. I glanced over at the clock to see that Bradley should be almost home soon. I was too invest into my design, I forgot to cook dinner. Crap.

I quickly got up before walking to the kitchen. I looked through the pantry and fridge to see if there was anything I could quickly make before Bradley had came home. As I looked, I realized that I had also forgotten to go grocery shopping. 

"Tessa, I'm home," I heard. I walked over to see Bradley walking over.

"Hey. I forgot to cook and go grocery shopping. Do you want to order some pizza?" I asked him.

"Yeah. Sure. I can do a small cheat day," Bradley winked. I smiled a little. 

After the wedding, Bradley and I had gotten along well. Bradley's ways had changed drastically. He was no longer going out to bars or parties, he was staying home a lot, and he takes me out on a date at least once a week. However, I felt that I was having trouble falling in love with him. 

"Pepperoni?" I asked him.

"Yes please."

"By the way, nice outfit," Bradley told me before walking to the living room. 

I looked down to what I was wearing. Yoga pants and a sports bra. I blushed before going upstairs to our room to put on a jacket. I called up Domino's pizza before placing an order for a large pizza. Half pepperoni and half cheese. I walked back to the living room to see Bradley looking at my sketch book.

"You drew these for your fashion show?" Bradley asked me. 

"Yeah. Do you like it?" I asked him as I sat down next to him.

"These are great. When is the fashion show?" Bradley asked. 

"In two months. I have to fly off to Paris for the show."

"Alright, tell me what weekend and I will accompany you to the show," Bradley told me.

"You'd want to go to the show with me?" I asked surprised.

"Of course. You are my wife and this is your first big fashion show that you are hosting."

"Thank you."

"Hell, you can even have Clary as a model."

"She is the best and she can pull off a lot of these designs," I nodded in agreement. I heard the doorbell ring making Bradley get up. 

"I got it," he told me. As I cleaned up my notebooks, I saw Bradley walk over with the pizza. 

"I'll grab some drinks and plates. You wanna put on a movie?" I asked him.

"Sure. What movie would you like to watch?"

"Anything. Surprise me," I tell him before walking off. 

Once I grabbed the plates, napkins, and drinks, I walked over to see Bradley with the movie, She's Out of Your League. I put the things on the coffee table before sitting next to Bradley. 

"How was work today?" I asked him. 

"The same. To be honest, the only thing that gets me through work is the thought of coming home to you," Bradley said. I blushed at his comment. 

"You're cute when you're blush," Bradley said.

"Since when did you get so flirty?" I asked him before taking a bite out of my pizza.

"Well, I had a realization at work that you are the most beautiful woman and that I should start appreciating my wife more," Bradley told me. I smiled at him before holding his hand. 

"We can definitely try actually starting like a married couple," I smiled at him.

"Good. Because I am planning a weekend vacation for the two of us."

"Already?"

"It's been a year since we've been married and I think you deserve a nice vacation and to be treated like a queen," Bradley told me. I smiled before kissing his cheek. 

After the movie and eating the pizza, Bradley and I were lying on our bed together. Bradley was telling me about the weekend vacation. We cuddled up close to one another which was all new and surprising. 

"The place we will be staying is closed off away from people," Bradley told me.

"What does that mean?" I curiously asked.

"It means we can be loud if you want to," Bradley told me. I blushed even more before hiding my face in his chest.

"I'm teasing," Bradley said before kissing my head. I let out a small yawn making Bradley chuckle.

"Goodnight, sweetie," Bradley said. 

"Goodnight," I said softly before closing my eyes. I really hoped that this wasn't some kind of dream.
