Three is a CROWD!

His Point Of View- It's a BIT costly.

"Everything is gonna be great tonight," Jessica squealed as the car drove up to our gate.

"Hmm-mmh" Gillis answered absentmindedly, he was still thinking about what he was gonna wear.

Gillis wasn't exactly unfashionable, it's just that being fashionable cost money and that was a luxury he couldn't afford. He couldn't even remember the last time he actually went shopping for even his casual house wears. This was one of the many problems of that resulted from his upbringing; growing up, Gillis was always taught to manage his things till whenever his parent was ready to get him a new one and that was a very long time. So, till this very day he had managed the few corporate shirts he had and even 4 pairs of the trousers he wore with them interchangeably. He had only two pairs of shoes that is excluding the fancy suede shoe his younger sister bought for his wedding day and that was all of his wardrobe.

So what was he to wear to his wife's welcome party to be attended by various high and mighty people?

"Gillis!"

"Eh?" He snapped back to reality.

"Are you okay?" She asked sucking her fingers, she was eating the bole Clifford bought for her in the car. She used her left hand to hold the bag of bole as she opened the door to alight the vehicle, she said, "you just zoned off. Is anything the matter?"

Quickly trying to change the subject he flicked her forehead, "I've told you to stop eating food without washing your hand," he hissed as she frowns in annoyance, "Village girl."
"Leave me alone jhoor," she pouts alighting the car.

"You say?" He asked.

Knowing her husband was going to tickle her to death, she ran out and into the house. Gillis laughed as he walked in after her into the house. He saw at the kitchen, she had set up the bole bag on the worktop and was already devouring it. Shaking his head he leaned on the kitchen doorframe and said, "You can eat!"

Jessica cheeks were swollen with the huge yam she had just stuffed into it and giggling she showed off her oil-stained teeth and the mashed up yam in her mouth. She got herself a plastic cup, filled it with water from the faucet and after using it to wash down the yam she said, "Go and freshen up so, we can leave here on time."

He nodded and started walking off slowly, trying to come up with an idea of what he would wear that would make him look presentable tonight.

He sighed again as he walked up the staircase to their bedroom. He pushed opened the door and then, while pulling off his laptop bag he stepped into the room. He walked to the toilet while undoing his tie and put on the water heater, he loved a steamy bath, anytime and any day. As he walked out of the bathroom, he froze at the sight on his bed.

A designer suit lay on his bed, a Carlotta Club VIP Men shopping bag and a shoe box down at the feet of the bed. Before he could utter any words, Jessica popped her head in through the door saying, "I thought it would look nice on you for tonight."

"Jess-"

"Now wait Gillis before you say anything," she said entering the room, her oil stained hands out in front of her gesturing him to cool down, "Can you please just try it out, first?" He didn't say anything but, looked from her to the bed three times, "please?"

He swallowed his pride and stepped to the bed as his wife smiled saying "Thank you." He quickly undressed till he was in his briefs and then grabbing the suit from his bed, he slipped it out of its pack revealing the smooth black fabric and matching pants.
