There it was, on the blacktop in the parking space beside the Mercury, a Starbucks cup.
“What’s this doing here?”
” I don’t know. It was there when I got in the car. Somebody parked in the space, put the cup there, then drove off and left it.”
“Oh. Didn’t you leave a Starbucks cup in the car? I thought maybe you…”
“Why would I put a cup in that space? Besides, there is lipstick on the lid. I don’t even own lipstick, especially in that shade of red.”
“That’s right you don’t wear lipstick. What was I thinking?”
What was I hoping for, wishing for, dreaming of, that maybe, just maybe, you would embrace your femininity? Because it would give me just a bit of pleasure to see you dolled up just a little bit. Maybe I’d feel like a husband, better yet your lover,instead of your housemate.

I really wish you would tell her how much it would mean to you for her to dress up for you. Maybe she forgot what it feels like to be desired and seen as someone sexy and beautiful
Thanks Jade. I guess I’m conditioned to be disappointed. I need to man up.
I told her, as tactfully, yet clearly and directly as I could. She gave me kind of a “deer in the headlights” look that I interpreted to mean I was asking the impossible. We shall see.
She may have lost touch with feeling like a sensual and desired woman. Let her know she is and help heal both of you. ❤️
BTW I would probably have the same look if Sir Raven suddenly wanted me in Fredericks of Hollywood
David why don’t you get her a gift card for a makeup counter and ask her to purchase a red lipstick or allow you to come too so you can lavish attention on her. Make her feel special, let her choose a new scent you both like. What do you think??
WOW. That’s a terrifying thought for me. Has rejection written all over it. But a risk is what’s needed. Her birthday is this week. Going for a swim now. And when I swim, I usually mull over a vexing problem. Looks like this is gonna be the one for today.
BTW, it means so much that you sent that response.
You are the only person that can remind her that she has a sensual lovely woman inside of her that you value.
Head is clearer after swim. And I’m energized a bit more.
Great advice Jade. You are a treasure
I love this. So shy, sheepishly adventurous, yet sad and resentful all at the same time. Very pretty.
Thank you very much.
