I had told Dale to stay in the cab since I had no intention of staying. I even tipped more after I saw Faye’s car and knew this would take a minute. I was already disappointed that she stood me up. I was expectant when I walked in and saw her sitting on the edge of the couch facing the doorway.

She apologized and I thought we were on the same page until she brought up the reasoning as to why, “How could you be so careless as to lose that? You had no problem keeping up with anything and everything else.”105Please respect copyright.PENANAVre0uDyBFH

“Cleo it was a simple mistake, a drunken one at that. I mean why are you so pent up over a freakin bracelet it can be replaced. And I told you I would be getting busier! It’s not my fault that these incompetent fools need someone to do there job for them.”105Please respect copyright.PENANAqEo01KO8Dj

“Faye, not everything can be replaced. The time I spent carving your initials and your first plant can’t be replaced. Nor the fact that it was an heirloom from my grandmother can’t be replaced. You always say that and it infuriates me every single time! And for fucks sake i know! I've been living through waking up alone. Staying in this big house alone.”105Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5ENiwGuyy

“And if you weren’t guilty about it you wouldn’t be here looking like a kicked puppy. It’s not only that too. I stood waiting at the restaurant that YOU told me to be at. I looked like an idiot tonight and you weren’t even concerned as to where the hell I could've been when you got home?”105Please respect copyright.PENANAUVEmwJtI4i

“All day? I told you before you left. Reminded you at lunch and before I left work. The waitress even said the person who made the reservation gets reminders too by email and phone. And then you had the audacity to go out and drink with that woman!?”105Please respect copyright.PENANAgFcGB5XnHt

“It slipped my mind. I had a meeting right before I needed to leave and they were just throwing out issues that I needed to solve then and there. And she- well Aella and I needed to talk…”
105Please respect copyright.PENANAs7CFjKhcoI
Is she not even sorry? What was so important for them to talk about? I need to control myself. I do not want to end up like my father, “I’m going to spend a night with Cherry.”105Please respect copyright.PENANAUiPjnN6RB3
105Please respect copyright.PENANAEI3Lb7Gzbh
She stood up looking more alarmed now and I left her there to go to our room to take off all this extra effort wasted, “Cleo no we can resolve this at home.”105Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZnIrINayR
105Please respect copyright.PENANApvnOIXbNDj
Hurtful words passed through my mind while I took my dress off and I had to actually calm myself down before I spoke, “I'm too furious with you right now and I don't want to say something I will regret.”105Please respect copyright.PENANAS80vHk64Ui

After putting on a hoodie and shorts along with a bag with my dress and a few necessities, I placed her invitation on her side of the bed, “No, I need to go and I already told her I was on my way here. Another night alone in our bed won’t do me any good. There's this party tomorrow that I want to go to. Here is your invitation If you want to come. I'll text you the address and time tomorrow unless your phone will continue to be dead.”

“No, don't apologize, I’m sorry for this. I'll um see you there and I love you too. And be safe please,” I wasn’t reluctant in going over to her to kiss her. I did truly miss her. It was the one thing I was looking forward to. I sighed and hugged her tight before leaving for the night.

I finally laid down next to Cherry after pacing since I entered my previous room. I’d had the continuing itch to check my phone. It had vibrated several times but I thought it best to leave it be, “You know she’s just stressed from her new job.”105Please respect copyright.PENANAlrgx117Swx

“I already know that but I told her before she officially applied to let me know if she was distressed. She’s pushing me away and I'm unable to do a damn thing about it. She doesn’t even realize she’s doing it either and I shouldn't have to blatantly tell her that I need attention.”105Please respect copyright.PENANAfPoGxvRPNP

“Cleo… even so maybe you should tell her all of this. She’s not a mind reader and sure she’s the actual cause in this incident but your relationship with her shouldn’t be one sided. We’ve literally talked about your future with kids and pets and I'm not letting you give up on her all because she couldn’t keep it together.”105Please respect copyright.PENANAtL608ic4He

Cherry shook her head laughing and leaned up to look at me, “Cleo we’ve had more fights than you two. The makeup sex is hot and it's only small demeneers but you two are usually the ones i go to for assistance as you two normally talk things out.”105Please respect copyright.PENANAE9faznF1RG

“Hey don’t judge me for being touchy. I love showing that I won her. And if I'm not mistaken it is almost customarily noticeable how there's hickeys around Faye’s neck and I bet there's more where the eye cannot see.”
