Also why do you look sad when today's supposed to be the happiest day of your life? he asked.
I'm not sad, i'm not just in the mood. Or are you still mad at me? he asked and I forced a smile.
I am not, I just don't feel like, also I am having a terrible headache so if you don't mind, I want to resume my sleep.
I covered myself with the sheets turning my back against him. Olivia….Leon please I am begging you, let me sleep.
I always celebrated my birthdays but this time around, I wasn't happy enough to celebrate. I slept for a few more hours and woke up with the headache gone but I still felt terrible
I rubbed my eyes, scanning the room.
Leon was nowhere to be found. I heard sounds coming from the living room. I took a quick bath and wore my favorite outfit black sweat pants and a black cropped top.
I went to the living room and was surprise to see Leon passed out on the couch. Hey are you alive? I shook him lightly and his eyes shot open.
Olivia, you are awake.
Now that you are awake, can we talk about it? About what, I asked confused. Your sudden change of attitude, he said confusing me even more.
What's wrong with my attitude? I didn't do anything to piss you off. Just last week you made plans about your birthday and then you suddenly said you weren't celebrating anymore.
What changed?
I am not happy enough to celebrate. And why aren't you happy? I don't know. And it's not something I did? No its not.
Then what exactly is it? I don't have a reason, I am not just happy. Can we talk about something else? But this is important. Are you hiding something from me?
No of course not, I said awkwardly. Your behavior just now says it all, spill what's going on with you? Nothing, i'm perfectly fine, he sighed.
Olivia, we are married for goodness sake, why can't you tell me what's wrong exactly.
If it's my fault i'll apologize. No you didn't do anything I just….never mind. Saying it won't kill you so why won't you talk?
Please, let's forget about it. I know it's something I did, he said. It is, I muttered and he looked at me surprised. You know a single word is enough to ruin everything right?
I wanted to say more but it would lead to an argument which I wasn't in the mood for. I went outside to cool my head and he joined me minutes later. I came here to be alone and your presence is ruining it.
Should I leave? No. I don't know what I said that offended you but I am sorry I didn't mean to.
No need to apologize, the damage's been done already. Just try to speak nicely next time.
He sighed, we argue almost every day and I hate it. It's inevitable, I said. I'm going back to bed, I said going in. I spent the whole day sleeping and only ate twice.
Something else is going on with you, Leon said. Nothing is wrong I just feel really awful today and I didn't want to take it out on you.
Leon's P.O.V
What exactly did I say that offended her so much she wouldn't even celebrate her birthday?
Whatever it was really cut her deep, she looked like she was about to cry while we were talking earlier. How can I bring up my work right now? I really couldn't afford to lose this role.
It could be given to someone else.
Her words about divorce rang in my head, I really couldn't afford to lose her, she was more important than my career. Her health was also a big concern.
She wasn't taking care of herself. Knowing I was the one that caused it, I felt terrible. This wasn't what I promised her when we got married, but she was patient and understanding.
But now, maybe she finally lost the last bit of her patience.
