No nothing's wrong, I just felt like asking, he said smiling faintly.
Leon, I know you'll never do anything to destroy our marriage, I trust you and I love you. Let's sleep. He nodded and lay back down. I knew something was going on with him but he wouldn't talk and I didn't want to seem nosy so I didn't ask more.
Awkward silence filled the room, no one talked we were just staring at the ceiling. I looked at him and he looked like he was in his own little world. I shifted closer to him, placing my head on his chest.
He instantly wrapped his arms around me pulling me closer. Is something bothering you? I asked.
No nothing's wrong I was just thinking about something. Want to share? No, okay then, don't dwell on it too much.
He was completely lost in his thought and didn't even realize he was gripping me tightly. Leon, I can't breathe.
Seems like my voice brought him out of his trance Olivia, I'm so sorry I didn't realize…..it's fine. What were you thinking so hard? It's nothing, just problem at work, he replied. Is there something I can do to help? Actually there is. What is it? I asked excitedly.
"This". He pulled me close his lips connecting with mine. If this can really help then I don't mind.
I spent the whole day working, Leon on the other hand seemed to be bothered by something but wouldn't talk.
At one point he seemed totally out of the world, staring into empty space. Hey, Leon can you hear me? I smacked his shoulder and he snapped back to reality.
I know you don't want to share what is going on but at least don't kill yourself by over thinking. Lunch is ready, let's go and eat, I said dragging him
He barely touched the food and kept spacing out. Is something wrong with the food? I'll make another one if you don't like it. No nothing's wrong with the food I am not just hungry.
I wish I had the power to hear thoughts, maybe if I did I would be able to know what was going on with him.
Are you not comfortable staying at home? Huh, no not at all, he replied.
Or did I do something wrong? No you didn't then what is the problem exactly? You look like you don't want to be here, you seem to be in a terrible mood compared to the way you talk
You didn't do anything wrong and I love being with you. I am just bothered by some things. Some things you can't share? Its nothing that's why.
Okay then if you say so. You know, if you want to leave you can, I am cool with it. He looked surprised, so you want me to leave? What`s the point, you said you`ll spend time with me but here you are being distant and annoying.
Okay what do you want me to do? Firstly, I have been trying to make bread but I don't seem to get it so maybe….. Wait! you want me to do it?! Yes and no.
I don't have the energy to knead the dough so you'll do it. I mixed the flour and the other ingredients and passed it to him.
Seriously I can't do this, he said grimacing whenever the dough sticks to his fingers. It's not a big deal, you will do a good job.
I patted his shoulder, holding in my laughter
