It all started on a Tuesday morning, I was on vacation from work at the time and she was off work, we both got up as we usually did and my wife got dressed in a black crushed velvet dress and white blouse and the proceeded to put on her red left loafer. She asked me if I had seen her other red loafer anywhere, I said no, didn't you take them both off in the bedroom when you wore them the last time. She said I thought I did, but can't seem to locate it at the moment.
She then went into the kitchen wearing only the left red loafer and right foot completely bare. This was about 8am and she started preparing breakfast. After breakfast was done, she cleared the dishes, washed them and put them away {unusual for my wife}, still hobbling about in her left loafer. Now the shoe was a very bright red, almost fire engine red, so it stood out quite a bit with her running around the apartment with only the left one on, right foot still bare.
About 9:30am she got a call from her mother and asked if she (my wife) wanted to go to lunch and maybe a movie, then stop at a craft store to pick up some supplies with her and a friend. My wife said sure, what time?
Mom: About 11:30am, so when you hear me honk the horn, please be ready to go so we can make lunch and an early movie, then the craft store so we can all be home by 5pm.
My wife: okay, no problem. I'll be ready when you get here.
I thought to myself, I wonder if she's going to look for her other shoe before she goes out? I guess not, she sat down, still keeping the one lone shoe on her left foot and started watching TV until it would be time to go.
11:15am, wife is still watching TV and still has not bothered to look for her right shoe yet.
11:35am, mom and friend drive up, horn blows. My wife gets up and starts to bolt out the door wearing on her left red loafer, right foot still bare. I actually tried to catch her and tell her she was still missing her shoe. I yelled at her as she was leaving out the door and said I need to tell you something important.
Her reply: I don't have time, please tell me when I get back home about 5pm. And off she ran down the stairs and into her mom's car into the back seat, still not realizing she had not located or put on her right shoe!
5:20pm, wife arrives back home. I thought for sure she would have on a new pair of shoes and be carrying the lone left red shoe. But no, she walked in still wearing the single left shoe and right foot bare and very dirty on the bottom from walking without her right shoe all day.
She says I guess this was the "important" thing you needed to tell me about before I left and she pointed down to her right bare foot.
I said yes it was, but were in such an all fired hurry you couldn't give me a couple of seconds of your time to tell you that you were about to leave with one shoe on, one off. So what happened? How come you didn't get another pair of shoes while you were out?
So my wife now tells me the events that happened while she was out running around all day while wearing only her left red loafer and right bare foot.
My wife said that they got to the restaurant and her mother, nor her friend noticed I was only wearing my left shoe! How could they miss it? I mean, it's a bright red and stands out like a beacon! Maybe they did notice, but didn't want to say anything and just let me figure it out for myself. I kept wondering why my right shoe felt so comfortable, no wonder huh?, I didn't even have it on!
So we walked into the restaurant and I still had not realized I had not put my right shoe on, not until the waitress that came to seat us asked me about it.
Waitress: Honey what happened to your right shoe?
My wife said she just looked at her like what the Hell are you talking about lady?
Waitress: Honey, don't tell me you don't realize you're missing one of your shoes?
My wife told me she looked down and saw that, oh damn, I REALLY AM MISSING ONE SHOE! So she asked her mother for the keys to the car so she could go back and get her shoe on as she must have slipped it off in the car. {So she thought.}
Wife opens car and starts frantically searching for her missing shoe and can't find it anywhere. Where the Hell is my damn right shoe she thought to herself. Then she got to thinking about the events that led up to her leaving with her mother and friend that morning. Damn! I completely forgot to find my right shoe before I left this morning. Now what am I going to do and how am I going to explain this to mom and her friend? Oh well, better get back inside and see what happens.
Waitress: Couldn't find your other shoe honey?
My wife: No, it's not in the car and I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but I ran out of my apartment without it when my mother and her friend came to pick me up.
Waitress: Oh well, don't worry about, your party is sitting right over there and I think they are about ready to order.
My wife saunters over wearing her single shoe and sits down, did you find your shoe sweetie asked her mothers friend?
No, it wasn't in the car and I really hate to admit this, but apparently I just forgot about it and never put it on this morning. I got up and looked for it at first, but when I didn't find it I went about my usual business wearing only the one red loafer I have on, I never found or put my right shoe on at all today. Damn, do I feel like an idiot. I wondered what was so important that my husband was trying to tell me this morning before I left. But I was in too much of a hurry due to what mom had said about being ready to go when she drove up and blew the horn for me to go.
Wifes' mom: Well how are you going to go to a movie with only one shoe on?
My wife: Don't worry about, it'll be okay. I'll figure out something to tell them if I'm asked about it. I know we don't have time to go back home for me to get another pair, nor do we have time to go to a shoe store to buy another pair. So let's just go on to the theatre and I'll worry about my missing right shoe when we get there. {her mom had already pre-purchased tickets for the 1pm show.}
12:45pm, they arrive at the theatre and walk in, my wife says the lady ticket taker just gives her a strange look, but says nothing. So my wife says she enjoyed the movie, even if in only her left shoe. {However I don't recall what movie they saw.}
2:45pm and it's off to the craft store. I asked my wife didn't they even ask you if you wanted to go to a shoe store and get another pair of shoes after the movie?!? Yes, they did, but I told them, look I've already been to lunch and movie while only wearing a single shoe, so why stop now? My wife said her mom and her friend gave a little chuckle and said okay, it's entirely up to you if you want to continue walking around with only your left shoe on and a bare right foot.
So they went to Michael's Craft Store and shopped for craft supplies until about 4:45pm. I have no idea what it is about craft stores but it seems women can spend hours upon hours in those places!
And that was the end of the day when my wife went out to lunch, a movie and shopping at a craft store all while wearing only her red left loafer and right foot bare.
And this wasn't even the end of the story either!
I opted to go out for dinner and asked my wife where she wanted to go for dinner, she ssaid someplace simple, like Wendy's would be fine and maybe go to a late evening movie. I agreed and said that sounded good to me, when do you want to go I asked her?
She said, right now. Okay, but don't you want to find your other shoe before we head out anywhere?
My wife said No, not really. Why break a perfect record by finding and putting on a shoe I haven't worn all day?
I looked at here and said, you're sure about that? You really want to go out WITHOUT your right shoe on?
She said yes, so off to Wendy's we went for dinner, her still only wearing her one red loafer on her left foot, right foot still as bare as could be.
After dinner we went to ses a movie and we've seen so many I can't recall what we did see, but my wife kept her left shoe on the entire time, never removing it and enjoying the cool feel of the concrete theatre floor on her bare right foot.
When we left some of the folks gave her a look and one young lady asked my wife if she lost her shoe somewhere in the theatre.
My wifes' reply just amazed her, she answered, no I just don't like wearing a right shoe, I prefer at least one barefoot when I go out on a date, it's very comfortable, Maybe you should try it sometime. The look on the young womans face was indescribable and my wife and I both laughed about it as we left the theatre and headed for home.
Once we got in for the evening my wife finally opted to remove the single shoe she'd been wearing all day and when she opened the closet to pick out a nightgown for the evening, right there just inside the door and to the left was her missing right red loafer that stayed home all day alone in the closet.
And I must say it sure made my second day of vacation a very interesting and wonderful experience since women wearing one shoe is one of my biggest turn ons and attractions!
But that's why she told me she never bothered to look for the other shoe or even realized she was missing the right one in the first story I sent you. Told me her left foot was so comfortable in her shoe and since it was a cool fall day, the parking lots were cool and felt so nice, She said she just never really noticed or even thought she had left home wearing only one shoe. But it sure made my day!
I know because sometimes when she misplaces a really hi-heel shoe, she notices if she's missing one of those when walking about with one on and one off. Although I wish she was more prone to lose or forget one hi-heeled shoe, but I do have some really nice stories that I'll compose as I have the time where she has lost a single hi-heeled shoe and it wasn't recoverable and what she did about that. (She usually just contiued on with her plans wearing the single shoe).
I also have some that aren't my wife, but those I've encountered in my travels. I could probably fill a novel with all this stuff, really!
