THE GAY BARTENDER

chapter fifty nine

Tuesday morning , I woke up later than usual, since proposing to Maya , our relationship had been different.

Even though she claimed that she wouldnt have s*x with me until we were engages , she extended the time until our wedding night. We've already gone this far she said to me, going .

And as much as I wanted to have s*x with her she was right. What was the rush after all and I could have her all to myself for the rest of our lives . I put aside my needs and focused on hers. Marriage was filled with a lot of compromises and this was the first one.

Another thing that changed was my sleeping habits . I was able to sleep through until six and sometimes seven in the morning. I felt more refreshed than I ever had in my life and I had Maya to thank for that.

When I woke, that morning Maya was already looking at me . I smiled over at her.

"Good morning."

"You were snoring ", she said and turned over.

I propped myself up and kissed her on the cheek .

How about we so some wedding planing today. And even though planning events wasn't my thing ,I was being supportive and encouraged us to do some wedding planning together, but she always had something else to do . Maybe she was stressed and not showing it . I hoped everything would be better once we were married.

" Okay" I said "I'll do that.

She tugged the blankets closer to her , I have plans with my mom today . But you should get your tux fitted.

Along with the positive side of being engaged , I found Maya to be just as standoffish as before at least at times we hadn't done any of the wedding planning together. And even though planning events wasn't my thing I WS being innovative and encouraged us to do more wedding planning together , but she always had something to do, maybe she was stressed and was not showing it.

" okay , I'll do that ."

"Maybe we can do some cake tasting later in the week."

I was thinking of going to get some yawn.

Let me know which day , so I can schedule a meeting with my tailor , I don't want to look like a clown in my wedding dress."

I didn't want to disturb Maya anymore so I decided to head over to sunny daes. I needed another opinion on my tux and I hopped I could get some company and go shopping. When I arrived at the backdoor of the diner, I heard a scream , only to find Michael laughing with Arthur. Michael had lobbed a piece of steak on his hair and it was stuck.Michael laughed and saw me at the door, he came to shake my hand while Arthur untangled the piece of meat on his head.

"It was just our anniversary the other day."

"Forty years dropping the egg pieces in the garbage can, that's something to live up to.

" I know right but I don't think that would be possible for me."

"Even though I met someone tomorrow , dated him and married him , we'd be in our seventies before it was forty years and since most marriages end in divorce , I'm not sure its in the cards for me."

"Don't be so negative "

I'm.being realistic, I feel like when they got together , it was a better time and people took vows and promises a lot more seriously.
