Not old enough to cross the street...

Last night A. (husband) came home from a hard day of work super tired and I was super tired from setting up the new place. My dad was off doing his own thing. A. could see I was worn out. He gave me a kiss, then said, "I buy you dinner. Let's go." We walked to a really nice place on the same block. We just wanted a quiet little table to sit and be served and relax. It felt nice. No moving or cleaning or organizing, just relaxing. 

He said, "I buy the boy dinner. I pound the boy like he wants. I rub the boy til he sleeps. I am good man. No? You have good husband?" 

"The best ever," I said. He always puts a smile on my face when I'm just over everything. It was nice to be able to walk to dinner and he could have a few beers without worrying about driving me home. 

Then today he got mad at me. We needed trash bags and there is a CVS close by so I walked over and got some things we needed. I love our new neighborhood, it's filled with high rises that have all the shops I need on the first floor. It's like a little New York. 

I texted him while I was there to see if he needed anything and he got upset. "Why you leave nest?" [Nest is what he always calls our home. He says it's the nest for his baby, but sometimes it feels like he means cage.]. 

He left his meeting to call me and he stayed on the phone until I was back in our building and up in the apartment. He told me to not do that again and wait for him to come home. He's ok with me going places in the building, but not to leave unless there is an emergency. 

Sometimes he reminds me I'm his child instead of his partner. He does it very gently and fatherly, but he has a hard line on some things. I know I need to push back more and he has even talked about how things will change when we have kids (He wants me to learn to drive before then), but it's hard. I like having an alpha who is in charge of things. Sometimes it comes out a little over-controlling like not wanting me to cross a very small street, but he is always coming from a place of deep love. 

I was happy to see he put the lease in both our names. He's been doing that since we got married. My name is on our bank accounts with his and even the bills are in both our names. He says it is in case something gets messed up with immigration and he gets taken away. That's a horrible thought, but he always plans for whatever could happen. He always plans for anything. 

So the plus side to being his overly protected princess is knowing he will always have a plan for whatever may come. 

It's time to write a new series. I have some ideas bubbling. But it's bedtime.
