Summary
His eyes opened to see the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in the world. The brown eyed goddess he would soon call his wife staring shyly, yet content at him. "Hi," she said with a large smile on her face. He voice was dreamy and distance. Happiness swelled his heart.
"Hi Gorgeous," she beamed at his love call. She is young, beautiful, and smart and he could be in love with anyone else.
"Last night was…breath taking." He pulls her in closer.
"Best for my queen." She smiles bigger causing his own smile. "Happy Valentine's Day, "
Somewhere an alarm goes off loudly.
Chapter 1 - 02/14/16 Morning
The blond man shot up out of his cheap hotel bed mindlessly searching for his phone. Successfully he found the annoying object under his blanket. The name on the call screen flashing 'Regina'. "Fuck," He groaned before swiping the screen. "Hello," he gruffed out.
"Where the fuck are you? Are you still sleeping?" he could hear the anger seething through the phone.
"Yes-I mean no. It's not what you think," He tried to explain.
"It never is." She said coldly, "don't even bother showing up."
"Regina, you can't do that. They are my kids." He raised his voice.
"And they deserve better than to be treated like this, Ej!" She yelled.
"Treated like what?" he said through gritted teeth.
"Second fiddle to your addiction." There was a deathly moment of silence.
"I'm not addicted."
"Then just stop and come back home." Her voice cracked, "If you're not addicted the stop drinking and come home. We will work through everything else." This pained him. He instinctually closed his eyes seeing his wife standing there with tears in her eyes fidgeting with her wedding ring she had recently wore on a silver chain. She didn't know he had seen it hanging around her neck.
"Regina, I can't-"he struggled out as vision of the night they separated flashed before his eyes.
"It's fine. Don't worry about picking up the kids. Daniel and I have decide to spend the day with them." the quick shift in her voice made him shiver.
"Regina, I –"the phone went dead. Ej groaned in frustration and through self-back on the bed. Staring at the ceiling he felt the tears in his eyes ready to fall. He quickly wiped his face. Really men don't cry he thought. He looked to the side where his cheap compressed wood bed stand was and looked at his most prized possession. A silver picture frame which held a picture of Regina and him on their wedding day. She was smiling at him and he was just smiling at her.
