Enjoy this short story by Hellen Heels.
âYou know what I am saying, Bruce. Why are you acting so confused and out of touch? You and I know very well that I am right here. You are ogling at me and I wonder why.â
âWell, is it wrong to ogle at oneâs wife?â
âMy goodness. You know, if it is not for two reasons, I am sure I would have enjoyed making you eat up your words.â
âWhat reasons are you talking about, Anita?â
âFirst, I am running late. Second, I am really running late.â
âThat is just one reason that you have repeated twice over.â
âYes. And that is to show you that I am really running late and do not have the time or luxury to engage with you on such an issue.â
âThen why not hurry along to work and stop reminding me of how late you are already.â
âYou mean I should go out like this? Without a pair of leggings?â
âWhy must you use those leggings? You look just fine to me.â
âDarling, should I have to remind you again that I work as a customer representative in a telecom company. And as a result I need to look gorgeous and decently dressed?â
âBut you look decent in this attire of yours.â
She held her head and sighed. âDonât tell me that I got married to a very old-fashioned husband. Please, donât tell me.â
âWho are you talking to?â
âTo the world, of course. How can you imagine such a thing? That a corporate woman like myself would not wear my leggings to go to work?â
