Why are you drinking in the middle of the night? Why can't I drink? I am an adult and can do whatever I like at anytime I want, now give me back my glass I said reaching for the glass but he took it away.
Olivia we need to talk. About what exactly, there is nothing to talk about Leon. I already said you can go wherever you want. But that isn't what you truly want. I scoffed, and how do you know what I truly want?
Because you are my wife and I know you best, there is something you aren't saying Olivia. There is nothing else I have to say Leon.
But I do have a question, how long will this trip take? It won't take long just a month, he said looking at me carefully. A month, I repeated. Okay then, have fun I said and he looked concerned.
You said I should understand the nature of your job and this is me being an understanding wife so why are you looking at me like that?
I really hope you are saying your mind Olivia, he said and I forced a smile. When are you leaving? This weekend he said cautiously. I kissed him. Have fun sweetheart I said smiling faintly
Leon's P.O.V
Something was wrong with Olivia, but B
I wasn't sure what exactly is wrong. We went to bed early and I was just about to sleep when I heard muffled sobs coming from the bathroom.
I inched closer to the door and froze when I heard sobs coming from the inside.
Oh lord, what have I done? I knew something was wrong with her but didn't figure it out until now. She tried so hard to hide her pain. She came out minutes later and was surprised to see me.
Leon? Why are you not sleeping? Crossing the distance between us, I pulled her into a hug. I'm sorry Olivia, I am so sorry I said.
Leon…her voice cracked as she broke down in tears again. I'm not going anywhere any longer I promise you Olivia
Why should I believe you? You never keep your promise she said. I will this time around, I said. She pushed me away, flopping on the bed.
I really don't want to talk to you right now, she said covering her body with the sheets.
Olivia, you….fine I will leave she said and stormed off to the living room. Just why did I have to escalate the matter?
I went after her to apologize and found her drinking again. Stop drinking please, too much of alcohol will….don't tell me what to do! she yelled, smashing the glass in her hand on the floor.
I have never seen her this angry. I am not in a great mood right now. Let's talk some other time Leon. Please, she added packing the broken glasses.
I was so frustrated and clueless on what to do exactly.
Olivia? She puts on her headset flopping on the couch, ignoring me totally. I went to bed feeling awful, I thought she was going to come to bed but she didn't
Guess she was really angry. I couldn't sleep all night and kept thinking about how I can make this work.
*************************************************
The next morning I woke up early and went to the gym. I got back and expected Olivia to be in a better mood, but was met with cold and distant eyes.
Good morning? I said awkwardly. What's wrong? She shoved her phone in my face and I was beyond mortified to see a picture of me hugging Stephanie. It was taken when we were at the hotel.
This is a misunderstanding Olivia. Yeah, i knew that was what you were gonna say. Save it Leon, i don't care.
But I have to clarify the matter. You were seen hugging your ex so what is there to explain? Who knows what you guys did at the hotel.
"So you don't trust me"?
Why should I?! You lied to me so many times.
"You are full of lies".
