I sat on the couch for what felt like hours. Just staring at the door. I had to decide. Break it off with Adrian and try to work on my marriage or call it quits and start something new with Adrian...
I couldn't give up. I gave my heart to this man and I can't let our marriage die just because we lost our spark. I had to bring it back some how.
Adrian made me feel alive but he doesn't understand me like Dimitri does. Dimitri could make me feel everything that Adrian makes me feel. I need to break it off with Adrian. I quickly grab my phone in my pocket but stop. What am I thinking? I can't leave him over the phone. That would be way too messed up. I place my phone on my lap and think. How do I explain to him. Sure he knows that I'm married but he also believes that I will leave my husband for him. I know Adrian really cares for me but I don't think he loves me. My phone vibrating on my lap wakes me from my mental ramble. A text. It's from Adrian. Speak of the devil.
Are you coming? I have a surprise for you;)
Great. He has a surprise for me... Yeah well I have a surprise for him too.
I can't. I'm sorry.
That's all I can bring myself to say back to him.
What's wrong?
He text back. A lot sooner than I expected. I didn't want to explain over text so I just didn't reply. Instead I got up and started cleaning. I clean when I'm stressed out or worried about something. Dimitri constantly makes fun of me for it. After about 10 minutes of vacuuming, I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket. I turn off the vacuum and see that Adrian is calling me. I ignore it. As I'm putting the vacuum away I get another text.
Answer or I'm coming over to check on you!
Shit. He can definitely not come over. I don't think he even knows where I live. It would be creepy as hell if he did. My phone goes off again. Adrian is calling. This time I answer.
"Adrian." I breathe into the phone making me sound exhausted. And honestly I was.
"Why can't you meet me?" He questions.
"Because..." I pause for a moment, wondering if I should tell him. "My husband and I had a fight. He knows about you."
Adrian is quiet on the other line for a few moments and those moments made my heart beat faster and faster.
"So what does this mean for us?" He finally said.
"I think that I want to stay and work on my marriage. I'm so sorry. We can't see each other anymore."
"You don't mean that. You're just stressed out about the fight. Maybe this is the push we needed. Maybe we can finally move forward with our relationship." He rants out fast.
"Adrian no. I... I can't just give up. I love my husband."
"But you love me too." He says really worked up.
"I don't know if what we had was love. Adrian we've only known each other for barely two months."
"36 days." He corrects." We have known each other for 36 days. And I loved every single moment I had with you."
"And I've known my husband my entire life."
"But he doesn't love you the way I do." He says
"Adrian... Please just stop." I plead.
"Where is he now?" He asks all of a sudden.
"He left. We fought and he stormed out. He is staying at a friends for the night." I explain.
"You see? I would never leave like that."
"Adrian he left to cool off. Okay I need you to stop. You're acting kind of crazy now." He was too. He was starting to freak me out. He has never been like this. He was usually cool and confident and laid back.
"Yeah well love makes you crazy Rose."
"You don't love me." I try to reason with him.
"I know that I do. I'm not going to give up on you without a fight. I'm going to fight for you. I'm going to fight for us." He was so worked up.
"Please. Just let it go. I have to go. It's late and I'm working tomorrow. Goodnight Adrian." I didn't wait for him to respond. I hung up the phone.
Damn. He was acting crazy. I didn't expect him to freak out like that. I honestly expected him to brush it off and move on with his life. I don't believe that he loves me. I think he just loves the idea of me. The idea of a relationship. I couldn't focus anymore of my attention on Adrian.
I then remembered my excuse to get him off of the phone. I really did have to work in the morning. It was already so late, I was going to be extremely tired tomorrow. I went upstairs and tucked myself into bed.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
Sorry guys. I kind of forgot about this story. I've been working on my other one. I didn't know what to write about and I know this chapter sucks so be easy if you review. Thanks
