Breathe (Cheryl Fanfic)

Chapter 109

As soon as Simon arrives at the villa he immediately called his wife. He wasn't able to call her earlier because even in LA paps tend to follow him around and he was getting sick and tired of it.

"Hello" A sleepy voice was heard on the other line making Simon miss her even more.

"Hey sleepyhead" He giggled. " Just called to let you know that I'm already home just got off the plane earlier. Were you waiting for me?"

"Yea, you know I can't sleep knowing you haven't landed safely." A smile appeared on Simon's face upon hearing this. The little things she does makes him melt every single time.

"Are you tired already?"

" A little bit, It was a while calming Eric down when you left."

"Aww bless him. How about Athena how is she?" He asked as he sat down at the front room just looking around feeling quite lonely without his family around.

"She stayed close to us the whole day but sometimes she would stare in space like she's looking at someone. Its kinda disturbing so I would call her attention most of the time and try to make her smile." Simon lets out a sigh as he try to picture what his wife is telling him and in an instant he wanted to go back.

"Anyway, How's LA?" Cheryl whispered quite sensing Simon being homesick again so she tried and change the subject.

"Paps are everywhere. News spread and got here in a blink of an eye." Upon hearing this Cheryl was getting thoughts if she would open the subject or not. She wants to talk about it really but she's worried that it may start an argument now that they're both tired from the day.

"How are you though?" She asked gently and hearing his heavy gave her an answer already.

"Just want this to stop. I'm tired" Hearing his voice in a way that he felt defeated was hurting Cheryl. She's not used to it and she knows she needs to do something to take that pain away from him.

"Si about what happened in Cannes, if you're ready to talk about it just tell us okay. I'll wait for you" Cheryl whispered but didn't heard any response from the other line just his heavy breaths and it made Cheryl sigh.

"Babe-" Cheryl started.

"Yea?" A faint whisper was heard. Simon was tired from all of it. From the rumors, her daughter's illness, from the paps, from work but he knows he needs to keep going. He just want to rest for a while that's all.

Cheryl on the other hand can see that clearly through his eyes and its hurting her even more because when Simon slips in he will become a closed book just like what happened when his mother died and she really doesn't want him to go back to that place right now.

"Just get some rest babe, I'll just talk to you later okay."Cheryl whispered as she walked back in her room closing the balcony door behind her.

"Cheryl?"

"Yea?"

"I love you so much" Simon whispered.

"I love you too" She smiled. "Now get some rest, you'll have a long day tomorrow." She heard Simon sighs and it hurts her knowing that he's not really fine.

"Alright, you should get some sleep too. Its very late over there."

"I will babe. Will you call us in the morning?" Simon lets out a small smile picturing Cheryl with a small pout on her face and somehow it was making him feel better.

" Yes darling, I will call you okay. Now go to sleep." She heard her giggle and it made his smile grew wider. There's just something about his wife that makes him happy in an instant.
