Chapter ten

I sat on the sofa with my legs crossed, earphones propped into my ears as I tried to block out the tension between me and Henry. It wasn't that I disliked the attention from him, in fact I really did enjoy how he made me feel. I just knew I had Tom, he was putting his trust into me now. Even if he said he wanted time, I know that means he wants to test me.

All these tests, it was driving me insane.

"So Mel, are you going to talk to me?" Henry whined, his hands gripping my earphones and pulling them out. This made me frown, a stubborn look now plastered over me.

"I have been talking to you"

Henry proceeded to sit next to me, the warmth from his body making my heart stammer, I take it back I hated how this man made me feel.

"You haven't though, have you Melanie?"

Feeling tears prick at my eyes I shuffled away from him, reaching for my earphones prepared to put them into my ears again. Before I could do so though, Henry had gripped my wrist lightly and his other hand tossed the earphones away.

"I know this marriage thing was never meant to be easy, but come on. Melanie I am trying"

My face faltered at his words, I didn't want to upset him. "I-I just want to make sure I'm loyal to Tom"

Henry knitted his brows together, looking at me now quite intently. "Do you really not trust yourself that much?"

A slight laugh followed after, clearly in amusement by what I had told him. This made me feel irritated, of course he wouldn't know how I'm feeling.

"Melanie I don't want to seem harsh but if you can't trust yourself then surely that means you don't love him as much as you think you do? After-all we are friends nothing more"

Biting my lips harshly, I stood up abruptly. Glaring at Henry who in my heart, his words hit home. I couldn't stand how correct he always was, especially about this.

"Just leave me the fuck alone Henry" I replied dryly, I was in no mood to deal with his shit today and the already burning emotions I had made me all the more pissed off.

Henry followed suit by standing up, his body now facing opposite to me with an unreadable expression printed on his face. "No, I won't leave you the fuck alone. This is my home and you're creating such a horrible atmosphere"

Henry was right, this was his home. This in itself made me inwardly crumble, I had no right to be this way towards him. I shouldn't even be living here, I am being cruel and unkind just because I can't deal with my own emotions.

I had been sour towards him for a few days now, I suppose it was inevitable for an argument to occur but it still hurt that the kind, gentle Henry Cavill was finally raising his voice towards me.
