"Honey, please come back home, we can talk about it, I, miss you so much baby, please" Tony begs down the phone, stumbling over nearly every word due to his tears and emotions.
I hold the bridge of my nose, trying to be professional and hold in the streams of tears. "Fine Tony, I will come round tonight. Only because I want to talk about it like normal adults, see you later." I hang up before he can reply, and fall into the chair behind me.
A few days before this, me and Tony got into a huge fight about him and his work. How he never makes time for me anymore, and would rather spend time with his assistant, Pepper, than me, his own girlfriend. This resulted into me having no other choice but leave, I didn't want to, why would I want to leave the person I loved most in this horrid world? The one person that kept me sane through all the hard times and rough patches? Because, he put work before love, and that is not want I needed, or deserved.
The rain was pouring down, getting more aggressive each minute, and getting even louder each second. Foreshadowing much. I just sat there, in my car, looking at the building where I swore to never come back to. Cmon y/n, you can do it, just go in there and make him understand that it's over I tell myself, tapping on the steering wheel. Finally, after minutes of procrastination, I get out of the car, and run towards the front door. It's lucky that I still kept my door keys, or I would've been stuck outside in the rain for ages, knowing Tony should've taken ages to get to the door. I unlock the door, and walk in, shutting it as soon as I was in to keep the cold air out.
The lift ride felt longer than it was, it was unbearable. Torture even. The usual elevator music was not helping that at all. I was shaking with fear of what was coming, and how the situation would fold. All I could imagine, was me, running back to him, him holding me in his arms and showering me with love and kisses like he use to. I could only think about the man I was once in love with, and blocking out the man he became. Oh how I want him back, I do so mu-
DING
The elevator stopped, and the doors opened. His office. His room of work. The place he barely left. I take a big, deep breath, and slowly walk into the room, searching for Tony.
"Tony, I'm here" I say, quietly, but loud enough for anyone in that room to hear. No reply.
"Tony? Are you in here?"
I enter the room a bit more, and see a body laying on the sofa, holding a pillow that is drenched with tears. He must've cried himself to sleep, as a single cough made him jump up from his position. "Y/n?" He says while rubbing his eyes.
Sighing, I walk towards him, and place a hand on his shoulder. "Tony, it's me. I'm here, like I promised." His face lit up with relief and, somewhat happiness, and he got up and ran into a hug. "Oh y/n, I have missed you so much, baby you soaking, do you want some clothes?."
I slowly, and gently move away. "No Tony it's fine, I should be gone soon. I just wanted to say, you can't do anything to keep me here, I have already made a decision."
His head narrows down, and face goes back into his depressed state. "Baby I'm so so sorry, I should've made time for you, I've learnt I swear. All I want is you, now, yesterday, forever. Please N/n, you're mine, and I'm yours."
This broke my heart entirely. Hearing his voice break, begging, pleading, it nearly made me fully give up on holding back my tears. But, I cannot give in, not this time.
"Tony" I say, looking into his eyes with the upmost sincerity. "I was never yours."
"What?"
"I was never yours. Work, that was yours. All you cared about, all you made time for, was work. It has overtaken you, it's controlling you. Once you have decided what you want, we can have this chat again"
Tony now has large streams of water rolling down his cheeks uncontrollably, and is fiddling with his fingers because of how overwhelmed he is. After a time period of silence, he slowly nods in understanding. "I understand, I will take some time off to truly figure that out, but, no matter what happens, please know, that I will always love you n/n, I will always want you."
