My eyes widened and I sat up hastily. You are going to make a movie with your ex?!
This is a big opportunity Olivia. I can't let it go just like that.
What the fuck are you talking about Leon?! I won't agree with this, never!
Olivia please, this is a once in a life time opportunity, he argued.
So you want me to be cool with the fact that I am going to watch you kiss your ex?! I asked, astonished.
Olivia, we broke up a long time ago, and she's with someone too. Leon, I am not agreeing to this, never.
But I already agreed to it, he replied and my heart sank.
Okay, its fine I understand, I said, defeated. Leon looked at me like I was crazy.
Olivia, are you sure you are cool with this? I forced and gave him a nod.
*************************************************
Leon was shocked at Olivia's change of attitude, knowing her, she would throw a fit and will never agree, but she said she was cool with it, something was definitely wrong.
*************************************************
Leon proceeded with the movie and left home. He said the entire shooting will be done in two months. I'll make it up to you when I come back, he said
He left and I was back to being alone in this big empty house.
I had almost nothing to do except working. I can't go out anywhere I want because of the paparazzi. I was indoor almost every time and only go out at night.
*************************************************
Two months passed and I waited eagerly for Leon return but he never came. Instead he called me and told me he had to stay for one more week.
Weeks turned into months and this is the fourth month he has left.
Anytime I felt angry or sad about it, I quickly remind myself that it was the nature of his job. But we were already married before he started acting.
Over the last few years, I was cool with it but now I felt like it was unfair. The last four months we didn't talk much, we didn't even video chat. Just calls
************************************************
A week later.....
I was making dinner when the doorbell rang. With fingers crossed, i rushed to the door.
As expected, it was Leon. He spread his arms widely but i pushed him away and carried in his suitcases.
Olivia, I am sorry I wasn't able to keep my promise, it was...You don't have to explain, I cut him off. Your explanation changes nothing, I muttered going in
Throughout the evening, Leon was trying to explain why he couldn't make it two months ago but I stopped him. Leon, you owe me no explanation. I understand it's the nature of your job so I am not mad at you.
Even a child could tell i was lying. I was literally boiling over but I managed to keep my temper in check.
He knew I was lying about not being mad, but he didn't want to press on, which I was grateful for. Leon knew my personality, I rarely lose it.
I kept tossing and turning in bed. Trying to find a comfortable position to fall asleep.
Can't sleep? Leon whispered. Which made me almost jump out of my skin.
Yeah, I slept all day. Why? You didn't work? He asked, looking at me with concern. Nope, I finished everything yesterday and decided to take a break before starting a new one
"I am proud of you darling", Leon said and I gave him a small smile.
