Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0318

I look at myself in the mirror, happy with how I look. My hair was in a low bun, with curled tendrils framing my face. Tonight I wanted something different since it was my first ever date with Rowan, so I decided on a subtle but sexy, smoky eyeshadow and red lipstick.

As for my dress, I picked a black knee–length dress. It has a plunging neckline that is delicately held together by thin straps. It highlighted just the right amount of cleave, enough to tease but not come out as trashy. It had an open back that I was sure would drive any man crazy.

I continue staring at myself as I run my hand down the soft fabric. The dress was figure- hugging, and thanks to being pregnant, I now had curves in all the right places.

“Damn, babes… if I wasn’t straight, I would’ve definitely done you.” Letty praised, happiness dripping from her voice. “You’re sexy. Hell has nothing on your hotness.”

“She’s right,” Corrine chimes in.

They had left a couple of hours ago. We were now on Skype, since I wanted to get their honest opinion. This date was important. Like I said, it’s Rowan and I’s first date, so I wanted everything to be perfect.

“Thank you,” I smile at them.

I take a seat on the bed and put my heels on. I honestly don’t remember the last time I dressed up or wore heels. Rowan rarely took me out before, even for work dinners, so I didn’t really have an opportunity to dress up.

I don’t know if that changed later, but I’m guessing it did since I remember how amazing I looked when Ethan came to get me. Shaking those thoughts from my mind, I focus on my date ahead.

“I’m nervous though,” I admit. “What if we don’t click? I know we are married, but what if we realize that we aren’t compatible? Or what if something else terrible happens?”

Damn, this was so hard. A part of me wanted to cancel the entire thing because I was nervous and afraid. The other part just wanted to take the risk and just be in the moment.
