Mike's POV
I held Carrie close to me as I carried her up the stairs . "I bought you something." I said gently laying her on the bed. "Stay right here...don't move." I said softly kissing Carrie's forehead once before walking into the closet were I had hid Carrie's present. I got the dress off of the clothes rack and looked around for the heels I had bought for he also. I moved a stack of my pants to the side and picked up the box of shoes.
"Hey keep your eyes closed." I said as I peeped my head around the closet door.
"They are shut." Carrie smiled sticking her tongue out at me. I walked into the bedroom and slowly laid the dress in front of Carrie and sat the box on the floor sitting on the bed hiding them behind me. "Alright you can open." I smiled.
"Oh my gosh..." Carrie gasped picking up the dress. It was a dark red color that was tight fitting. Shes wore a few dresses like this in the past and has told me how much she loves them but she hasn't really been able to find another good one. "Mike it is absolutely beautiful." Carrie gushed causing a smile to come to my face.
"I hope it fits...you normally wear a 3 in dresses but it looked a little big so I got a two." I said as she examined the dress. "You and Ivey are around the same size and she went with me so she just tried it on...it was a little small on her but shes a little bigger than you." I stated causing Carrie's head to shoot up, her looking me in the eyes.
"Oh...when did you and Ivey hang out?" Carrie asked curiously.
"Just the other day...but it wasn't really hanging out per-say she just went with me." I replied as Carrie laid the dress slowly back onto the bed.
"That's hanging out though." Carrie said with a small sigh of frustration.
"Well baby I'm sorry I didn't think it was really that big of a deal." I apologized standing up. "Here I got you these also." I said putting the box of shoes in front of her. I walked out of the room in disappointment. All I wanted was for Carrie and I to go out to dinner tonight. Spend some time together. I wish she had trusted me though, its kind of upsetting that she doesn't. Hanging out with Ivey is something that I enjoy. Shes my friend also. Not just Carrie's. Ivey and I are only friends absolutely nothing more at all. I hate that Carrie sees it that way although its not fair I've done nothing to make her think I would ever be unfaithful to her.
"Mike..." Carrie said walking downstairs into the living room where I was sitting on the couch. "Your upset with me now aren't you?" Carrie asked sitting beside me.
"Would you be upset with me if I didn't trust you?" I questioned giving her a look.
"Mike I do trust you." Carrie replied causing me to let out a small sigh.
"Carrie if you really did then you wouldn't have asked all those questions and you wouldn't have suddenly become so upset about it." I stated looking into Cattie's eyes. "The reason I had asked Ivey to go was because I wasn't quite sure if you'd even like the dress I had picked out for you..." I added looking at Carrie seriously.
"What's tonight?" Carrie asked becoming confused.
"I just wanted us to go out for dinner, spend some time together but that is perfectly fine you probably don't want to go now anyways." I replied. "I just wanted to do something with you Carrie that's all." I added with a small sigh, standing up off the couch.
"Mike we still can go." Carrie said grabbing my arm. "Baby I do trust you." Carrie said trying to hug on me. She always does this. Tries hanging all over me when she knows I'm upset.
"Carrie...there's not much of a relationship without trust...and truthfully I really don't want to go anymore." I confessed before walking up the stairs. Honestly I am extremely disappointed. I am excited for the baby to get here...extremely excited. But I know that when the baby does get here Carrie and I won't really be able to spend much alone time together. Unfortunately. I want to spend time wit her now to make up for later but right now that isn't really going so well.
"Mike?" Carrie said walking into the bedroom. "Lets just go and forget about everything...because I do trust you." Carrie said looking up into my eyes.
"Sure that's fine." I replied standing up off the bed.
"Now your mad at me." Carrie pouted walking into the bathroom. I wasn't really mad, because I don't usually get mad at Carrie so per-say I just get upset. which I was now. Very much so.
"Actually I think I'm just going to go pick up something do you want anything?" I asked walking into the bathroom where Carrie was.
"No thank you." She replied quietly. I could definitely tell she was upset but honestly I don't think it is that fair for her to be upset. "Mike please...lets just go out." Carrie begged stopping me from leaving the bathroom.
"I'm sorry I just don't want to." I confessed before walking out of the bathroom. I made my way downstairs into the kitchen and got my keys off the table then headed outside.
I ended up just going to Chick-fi-la and going inside to eat. I knew that if Carrie found out I'd went inside it'd bother her. Mainly because I had told her I didn't want to go in and eat anywhere. Which I don't. Not with Carrie anyways.
