The Other Woman

This is my attempt at sharing something that happened this weekend. Here is a little background information first. Eric and I celebrated our 7 YEAR anniversary on July 21st. We decided that we would go out to eat on the actual day but do something nicer this past weekend. Eric planned everything and it was such an awesome surprise. He planned for us to spend Saturday night at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Atlanta. He also had tickets for us to go to the World of Coke on Saturday and tickets to go to the Aquarium on Sunday. He had thought ahead and found a restaurant that we love (Kiku Japanese steakhouse) nearby that we would eat at Saturday night. I was thrilled that he planned all of this. Saturday morning we got up, went to eat at IHOP and then headed to Atlanta. We arrived at the Hyatt and went in to check in. I stood over in the lobby area near the reservation desk (still visible to the desk) while Eric was at the desk.
Here is what happened:

Eric: "I am here to check in." *Hands her his ID*
The Lady working at the desk: "Is this **** your correct address?"
Eric: "No, I have moved since then."
The Lady: *Looking at her computer at the reservation information* "Ok, so this *** is your current address?"
Eric: "No, actually that is my mom's. She reserved this room for me so I could keep it a secret from my wife"
The Lady: "Oh, ok" *Looking at him strangely*
From there they continue the registration process and Eric walks over to me and we head towards the elevator. He said "I bet that lady is looking at us funny." I asked him why and he explained the conversation that he had with her.

I am sure she was looking at us funny. She probably thought I was his girlfriend that he was keeping a secret from his wife. She probably had 3 things going through her mind.
1) That poor wife doesn't know what is going on.
2) That poor girlfriend (keep in mind that I am 5 months pregnant and it is very noticeable!)
3) What kind of mother does that guy have that would reserve hotel rooms for him to take his mistress girlfriend to?

I was so embarrassed. I asked him why he didn't correct himself and say it was a SURPRISE FOR HIS WIFE when he realized what she thought. His response "Oh well, it doesn't matter!" MEN!!!
