As I arrived home from work, quite late and completely exhausted I saw her seated at the dining table working her ass off. Then I checked the time again and saw that it was 2:30am. I’m very sure she hasn’t slept at all through out the nigh and I’m sure she’s not planning on sleeping either.
This is the 3rd time this week I’ve seen her up so late. I knew something was up and she was avoiding a conversation about it. She hasn’t been sleeping either. I sleep before her and wake up to an empty house the next morning. She’s avoiding me and I would like to know why but I’ll do that later.
“Hey baby”, she took her eyes off her laptop screen and looked at me and smiled.
“Hey darling”. I knew that smile and those words held a hidden grief that she didn’t want to show me. Now I was sure more than ever that something was wrong.
“What’s wrong baby?”, I walked towards and stopped at the edge of the table.
“Nothing darling”, she smiled that same unconvincing smile.
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely darling. Have you had dinner?”
“No I haven’t actually but don’t worry about it”.
“There are some leftovers in the microwave if you change your mind”.
“Thank you”, her eyes were back on her work before I could turn to leave.
This has to stop and it has to stop right fucking now. I took a quick bath and put on pajama bottoms and went back to the dining area to find her still engrossed in her work. Although, this time her heart wasn’t into it like it usually was. Her eyes usually had this glint in them but right now they looked dull and robotic.
I decided to eat first so I turned on the microwave, heated the food and ate. After eating I washed the dishes and went to her. I stood behind her and placed both hands on her shoulder and massaged them. I felt her tense body relax under my touch. She leaned into me as she moaned. My hand dug deep into her skin making sure all the areas were paid attention to.
I stopped and took her hand in order for her to stand, which she did. I took a few steps away from the table and wrapped around her pulled her close her arms were around my neck as she rested her head on my chest. I swayed us lowly to the non-existent music.
I felt her sign against me after a while. I kissed her head before resting my chin on it. A little while later I rested my head between her neck and shoulders, inhaling her delicious scent.
Her hands slid from my shoulders to my face, placing mine and hers at the same level. Our gazes locked as her hands caressed my face. The next thing I knew her lips were on mine. I’ve missed her so much but I didn’t know how much until this very moment.
Its like my whole world feel into place and everything froze. There was no sadness, no pain, absolutely nothing but love. She is my everything and I’m going to make sure she never forgets that.
My hands were in between her legs lifting her up, they immediately clung to me. As I started to walk she stopped and looked at me.
“I’m sorry about how I’ve been acting recently its just…”, I shut her up with a kiss.
“Don’t worry about it. I still love you and I always will”.
“I love you too”
“I’m going to need some proof of that”, I started walking away.
“Oh really”, she smiled.
“Absolutely”, I winked and smile as her lips claimed mine.
