"I was upset because I just wanted you to spend more time with me," I said.
"So should I quit the business and spend all my time with you?" He asked.
Ugh!
Why were we even having this conversation?
He was not going to understand anything!
"I don't want you to quit anything..." I rolled my eyes.
"Bella... My schedule was planned for tonight's meetings for a while now... I want to spend time with you, but I just can't quit everything!" He said.
Ugh!
"I already told you... It was not just about tonight!" I said with annoyance.
Either I was really bad at explaining things or he didn't want to understand the core problem!
"You can re-prioritize some other things... Like.. Those Golf and Tennis sessions..."
And Zumba sessions with Tanya!
I wanted to add that part, but skipped it... I mean, he did mention there was nothing going on between Tanya and him, and maybe I should put in some effort to believe him?
"And maybe you can also cut short your sleep a bit?" I said.
"What? I can't believe you have issues with my quality sleep time!" He chuckled.
"Yeah, right! Quality sleep time!" I rolled my eyes.
Where the hell was he?
He didn't respond to any of my texts today.
I was... missing him!
"Hey... What's up?" I said as he answered the call.
"I'm really tired today," he yawned, "How was your day?"
"It was good... Had too many meetings today..." I said.
"Nice," he yawned again.
Nice?
Like, what the hell did that even mean?
"Are you sleepy?" I asked.
"Yeah..." He said.
"I guess you should get some sleep then," I said with annoyance.
There was no point talking to him if he was just going to keep yawning!
"Yeah I guess so..." he said, "Need to get some quality sleep... I'll talk to you tomorrow."
And that tomorrow didn't come because his fucking meetings started from early morning next day!
But well, I very well knew what I was getting myself into when I decided to marry him.
"Alright, I can work on it," he said.
I guess I could give him another chance?
I mean, we had way too many issues to resolve, but I guess we could figure it out?
I mean, look at him!
He missed his important meetings and ran after me!
That was... sweet!
"Ummm... Can I get my ring back?" I asked.
That was one of the most embarrassing questions I had ever asked, but hey, I had already embarrassed myself more than enough, so this should be okay.
"No, I'm not giving it back," he said.
No?
Like... no?
Was it over for real?
No, right?
I mean, he wouldn't be here otherwise!
That's when he took my hand in his and brought it close to his lips.
"Not until I make sure that you do not get a chance to throw it on my face again," he said as he looked straight into my eyes and kissed my hand.
I blinked and blushed and I... didn't know what else I did at that very moment.
Ugh!
He was the only one who had the power to set my heart on fire!
I hated him so much!
