Looking for her husband everywhere in the house, Anne didn't find him, he was supposed to have a meeting, but seeing his car's keys, she figured out he hasn't left the house yet. Walking upstairs, she made her way to their bedroom she called him again and there she heard a muffled voice. Walking in, she found him in his closet, still not ready, wearing just his boxers and an undershirt, and his shirt in his hand.
“I thought you were gone...Why are you still here?”
“Too tight, Anne.” He showed her his shirt, “This one too is too tight for me, I have to buy some more with a larger size. Everything's getting too small. Even my suits don't suit me anymore like they used to. I shouldn't have forgotten myself this much drinking and eating like I did, even you, I'm sure you don't find...” He trailed off, he was really upset and mad at himself.
During the last months, Tim gained some considerable weight, his cheeks were fuller and he's got more tummy, the thing that bothered him the most. As a result, he was feeling unattractive. He didn't care if he wasn't attractive in other women's eyes, but he feared to be unattractive in his wife's eyes.
“What are you saying? I don't find what, Tim?” Anne was really confused, she didn't know that this bothered him this much, he had even joked about it one day saying that he looked like he was pregnant, and they will have a child, but she never thought it did bother him.
“You don't find me attractive like this...”
“Have you lost your mind? Of course I do! Why are you saying this?”
“I don't know...” He whispered looking down.
She shook her head, she couldn't believe what was happening. She was the one who was always feeling insecure, not him. It looks like this time it was him. And it was her turn to cheer him up and reassure him like he always did for her.
“Of course I do...” She whispered as she reached out to stroke his cheek.
She took a hold of his hand and lead them back to the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed, prompting him to sit next to her.
She took his hand in hers and spoke again “I don't want you to look at it that way, I-” He cut her off “Anne, I gained so much weight, I'm feeling flabby and unattractive in your eyes...” He said, looking down at their hands, unable to look at her.
“You are still attractive in my eyes and you always will be...” She said in a reassuring tone. “I gained weight too, does that make me unattractive in your eyes?”
“Never!” He instantly answered and she smiled at that.
“I don't find you unattractive too. I love you as you are... And I love that little softness in your tummy, it comforts me and makes me feel safe when I cuddle with you. You're still so handsome and sexy in my eyes and will always be, I promise... The most important thing for me is to see you in a good health. That's all what matters for me... I love you so much Tim...” She got closer and wrapped her arms around him for a tight hug and he reciprocated her tight hug. Feeling a bit better.
“I love you too... Thank you...” He whispered, still holding her in his arms.
“Your suits still fit you, and they show off your broad shoulders and I just love that...” She whispered “All your clothes look good on you, maybe not the red trouses tho, I want to throw those” She teased him and felt him shake his head.
“Don't you dare do that,” He whispered as he started tickling her “Those are my favourite”
“I won't, I promise.” She said giggling as she pulled away slightly from his embrace. “Now get your lovely ass ready, you're late” She chuckled as she got up then looked at him again "Oh yeah, and when you come home tonight, I'll show you how attractive you are, Admiral...” She looked at him with a wicked smile.
“Will you?” He smirked as he got up too and wrapped his arms around her waist.
“Believe me, I will...” She whispered as she bit her lip before kissing him and slipping her hands down to squeeze his arse, which made him moan into her mouth. Pulling away with a contented smiled “See you later, darling...” She smirked and winked at him before turning on her heels.
Well, he was certainly feeling better now, especially after what she just said. Lucky me, he thought.
