A love like yours

life never ceases to amaze

“You... Cant?” he asks sounding defeated, slowly pulling the phone away from his ear.” Tense.

“Was that your mother?” I ask trying to make conversation out of a question I already know the answer to.

“I curse the day I met you, you know that?” Silly of me to notice how juicy his lips look right now, how his muscles flex and how his hard his features are right now. Rey looks way too sexy when he’s angry man. I move closer to him and as if he can sense what I’m planning, he steps away, shaking his head while at it. He goes out and I let out a little laugh. I can be really childish at times you know? I mean, what was that all about? My faint smile soon disappears and in its place, a straight line is formed. It hurts to think about as how we used to laugh about that, how he’d tell me that he wouldn’t have it any other way and how he would ever leave me. I must fight! Yes! I can’t let my husband slip right between my fingers like that. He promised to never leave, I promised to be his, and I intend on keeping that promise. About an hour later, I hear the sound of an engine dying and I head out of the bedroom, eyebrows furrowed and well... my heart sinks to the pits of my stomach and I swallow the lump that’s now forming in my throat. It works the first time, but the second time around, I can’t hold back and just let the warm liquid flow down my cheeks.

“Son! You didn’t think I was being serious, did you?” She laughs and stretches her arms out wide enough for Rey ‘to get in there!’” As instructed, he half runs into his mother’s arms and she engulfs him in a bear hug. This is so sweet, I can’t help but admit it out loud but it backfires. Rey’s mother side eyes me scoffs while side eyeing me. What was I thinking? Way to go me for turning myself into an idiot... again. But it’s not over until the fat lady sings! I grab Rey’s hand, take up it up to mouth and then gently plant a kiss on it. “Come back to me. Please.” I say, clearly heartbroken and lock gazes with him although I can’t see clearly with all these tears half blinding me. “What? “I ask, furiously so when I notice that Royalty is now in Rey’s mom’s hands “Oh hell no!" Hell no! That is not happening! “Royalty, get down from there right now!” I scream hysterically. Rey pins her head to his chest and assures that everything’s okay. These people don’t know me, I can see. I snatch my child from Rey’s arms, with much force, might I add and thrust her onto her grandma’s lap. “You and you no good mother can take your ugly faces out of my parents’ house... how ‘bout that?” I ask with as much attitude as I can possibly hurl up” Oh! Dramatic me is coming to the surface! I had your damn back through everything Rey, took you into my home, took care of our sick child when you were out doing god knows what with god knows whom when I could’ve been at school, studying to become a better me! Oh and you remember that tummy bug? I laugh Cruella style. I flick my hair, attempting to walk away but Rey is just in time to grab it and pull my entire body towards him. towards him. s**t. What did you say?” He asks, head veins bulging like crazy. “Nothing.” I say trying to act like I’m not afraid, although... questioning this decision because it doesn’t seem like the best right. I’ve already come this far though, I can’t turn back now. “Now,” I continue. “Go hide under your mommy’s skirt you coward.” “What did you call me?” He asks. Bingo!” I... said...”I say poking his chest, slightly pushing him aback. “At the first sign of trouble, you chose to shy away like a little girl with insecurities.” Tick tock... The clock sounds in this awfully quiet room as we all wait for Rey to say something. I don’t know about everybody else, but the suspense is definitely killing me! “I never meant to crush you dreams. Royalty was just as much of a surprise as she was to me and yes... I’m a weak man. Very weak in fact, I have to admit... and for that, I would like to say that I am NOT sorry. Yeah, I said I’m NOT sorry. You don’t get to provoke people and then act like the victim Sweetie. I’ll be back to fetch my child and please don’t make me drag you to court. You know you don’t stand a chance.

Me: Go you hypocrite! You were talking badly about your parents! Saying that you’d choose me over them and that they didn’t know what they were talking about, that our love would conquer. Go!

I sunk to the floor and sobbed my entire heart out as soon they were out of sight.

Mom: Don’t worry my baby; he’s going to come back you. They always do.

Me: Aargh don’t act like you care! You never wanted him here in the first place! Be glad! You finally got your wish! I walk out into the bedroom and slam the door shut before throwing myself onto the bed and wailing. My better half has just left and it doesn’t look like he’ll be back soon. I’m all out of fights, all out of ideas, out of hope I lost him... And there’s nothing more I can do at this point... life is unfair.
