A whole variety of emotions started to rush through my body. My first time hearing his voice since the break up. He sounded vulnerable. He sounded broken. These last few days I keep asking myself why, if he was this hurt, and broken, then why did he do it, or why did he just change his mind.
"Izzy, can we please talk?" I heard his whisper.
I hesitated.
"Baby please?" He sniffled.
I can't tell if he actually is upset or if he's planning something. He knows I get weak when he calls me baby, and when he kisses my forehead, I get weak when he falls asleep with his arms around me. I guess in reality the institution of him makes me weak.
For some reason I tried to fake happiness, as always. "Yeah hey what's up?".
"Baby I love you so much. I haven't been shaving and I haven't been showering..". I shivered at the thought. " And I just can't be without you, I just want you to know that this is hard for me too" he finished.
"So fix it.. Take me back" I barked.
"Baby we need this break.", He cried.
"Then why did you call..", I sighed.
"Because I need you to understand..Baby I love you more than anything".
"I mean, what if you don't come back.." I asked
"I will Funsize I promise I love you so much".
"I love you too Kingsize" I quickly said in response.
"Now respond to my text messages!" He demanded. "You know I hate when you ignore me".
"I will.. Oh and baby?"
"Yeah babe?" He asked.
"Promise you'll come back? It's gonna be okay for us until then right?" I questioned.
"Of course Isabel" he answered, "Always".
