The Big Fight

Chapter 1:

The fight-

Sara and Gil are on the bed making out, it's very clear that it was heading else where by the fact that Gil's hands were taking off Sara's shirt and Sara was undoing Gil's belt, attempting to take off his pants. When Gil's cell phone rings, he picked it up to check the caller ID, it says "Sofia", he stop what he was doing and answered the phone. Sara decided that she would continue, thinking that Gil wasn't going to stay on the phone that long since they were in the middle of something pretty important to both of them, they had only made love once in the 2 weeks that she has been in Paris with him, she finally got his belt undone and started to pull down his pants, but he quickly pull them back up and moved away from her. Sara was really angry about this reaction, she could hear a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, she thought that the voice sounded really filmier, so she tried to listen to the phone conversation to see who was important enough to ruin this moment they we're having. Gil noticed that she was trying to ease-drop, so he went into a different room, this angered Sara even more, she thought 'why would he move into another room, just because i was trying to figure out who he was on the phone with?' He was on the phone for about an hour when he re-entered the room, Sara was now pacing back and forth, she had got herself so worked up about the phone call, but she figured that she would get a better answer from him if she didn't sound so upset, so she tried to remain calm when she looked up to ask who was on the phone but failed to keep her words calm, when they came out it was loud and very rude.

"Who the hell were you on the phone with?!"

"Sofia."

He put his hands up to try to calm her down, he knew that she didn't like the answer that he had just given her but he didn't want to lie to her.

"Now don't get mad, she just had a really…" Sara cuts him off.

"Sofia…!" She yelled. "So she is more important than spending time with me?!"

Gil looked at her and instantly knew that this was heading to a fight, he sighed and tried to give her all the information without sounding defensive.

"Sara, no, that's not it at all, she just needed someone to talk to." Sara's face was turning red from anger.

"Oh right, just like Heather needed someone to talk to last night! What's going on Gil, why are these women more important than spending time with me, your wife, which by the way if you forgot, I have to leave tomorrow!"

He now had a look of frustration on his face, because he remembered the conversation that they had about Heather last night, but Sara was able to let that go, 'why couldn't she just let this go too?' He looked at the floor then looked back at her.

"They aren't more important than you, and Sara I have been spending time with you when I'm not at work, I've been with you, what more do you want from me?! They needed me, and it was more important then what we were doing at the moment…I'm their friend and they needed to talk, so I listened to what they needed to say!" At this point they both were yelling, and Sara's anger was just building up more and more with every word he was saying.

"What's going on between these women and you, are you cheating on me?!" This angered Gil a lot more, he rolled his eyes because he heard all of this last night. 'I didn't understand why tonight she's trying to start a fight with me, she doesn't know anything, she's just jumping to conclusions.'

"Nothing is going on and I'm not cheating on you! I love you, why don't you trust me?!"

"I never said that I didn't trust you!"

"Well, your acting like you don't!" He thought that he made a great point but little did he know that he just gave her more ammunition to use against him.

"You want to talk about actions Gil, your acting like these women are more important and that I'm always going to be here, but news flash I leave tomorrow and you act like it doesn't mean a dam thing!" Sara has now just moved into Gil's face, making him more uncomfortable, then he already was, he never liked fighting with her but she has never got into his face like this before, making it even worse than all their small fights that they have had in the past.

"Technology you will always be here, we're married! I wish you weren't leaving tomorrow but there isn't anything I can do about that! And last but not least nothing is going on between me and these women, Sara, I don't understand why your trying to pick a fight with me and I really don't understand why can't you trust me, I've never given you a reason not to trust me!"

Gil tried to calm her down by giving her a hug but she quickly moved away and turns her back to him, so he wouldn't see her cry, but he could hear her crying but decides that it is best to give her space and not comfort her at the moment, so he takes a few steps backwards to give her the extra space that she really needed. After a brief moment she wipes her tears away, she is a little more calm now, and turns to face him.

"I'm sorry Gil, but I need to get away from here and away from you, I need to be alone, I'm going to go and take a walk, I don't want to let this get any worse and I don't want to hurt you with my words anymore than I already have. I don't want us to end up saying anything that we will definitely regret later." Sara moves toward the door, out of habit Gil moves toward her to give her a hug and walk her out the door.

"No, not right now Gil, I'm really upset. I will see you when I get back. I love you." He nods to show her that he understands and then looks down so she won't see that he is hurt by her rejecting his act of kindness. He hated the fighting especially when she left and didn't want to be near him. It hurt him knowing that she didn't even want to talk things out, that she rather run away then to be alone in the room and make up. 'I know one day she's just going to leave me a letter and that will be the last time I will ever hear from her again.' he looks back at her not trying to hide the hurt on his face anymore.

"I love you too, Sara. I just wish you would stay and talk to me." She looks at him again then storms into the living room. 'Why doesn't he understand that I need time, I need space, I need to gather my thoughts before I speak to him, I don't want to stay with him while he gives me the puppy dog eyes and then seduces me into make up sex, which never really makes up for anything at all! Why doesn't he understand?'

She grabs her keys and locks the door behind her, Gil walks back to the bed and sets the alarm for 6 am., so that he can wake up and take her to the airport. He then changes into his pajamas and lays down on the bed. He turns and looks at the other side and pats the pillow wishing that she was there, so that he could hold her in his arms and comfort her while she falls asleep knowing that he loved her and only her.

About 2 hours later Sara walks through the door and places her keys in the bowel, on the table, by the door. She then locks the door, and goes into the bedroom to find Gil asleep, so she quietly changes into her pajamas and lays down on the bed trying not to wake him up, but she was unsuccessful. He turns over to talk to her, but she tries to not pay attention to him.

"Good night, I love you sweetheart." Sara pulls the covers over herself and looks over at him.

"Good night, we will talk about this later." He had another hurt look on his face. 'She always says I love you back, this is not a good sign at all, but at least she will talk to me tomorrow.' Sara sees the hurt on his face. 'Not that look again, I'm not going to let this go! I can't let this go, I know something is going on, something in my gut is telling me, I can't ignore it anymore, but I can ignore him and his attempt to con me into talking to him.' So Sara turned away from him, showing him that she didn't want to be held while she fell asleep. So he turned back around and turned off the lights. They both fell asleep uncomfortably without saying another word to each other.
