I sighed upset once again. Checking the time I look up to see it was already 10. Tom and I had planned to have dinner tonight considering it was our 2nd year anniversary of being together.
Our house elves prepared a nice dinner for Tom and I. Tom had prepared the menu for tonight in hopes of surprising me. But I ended up enjoying it myself. He was supposed to be home 4 hours ago at 6. But he had a late meeting.
Tom: sorry sweetheart I'll be home in a little bit another meeting was called.
Y/n: it's okay :)
Y/n: Everything alright it's 7 Tom?
Tom: Sorry this meeting will probably take another hour or 2 new death eaters have joined.
Y/n: it's 9 Tom.
Tom: Don't think I'll be back soon head to bed without me get some rest and good night sweetheart.
Y/n: gn your food is in the fridge.
I sent him a last text before heading up to our room. I felt upset. There were times in our relationship where I felt he valued his followers more than our relationship.
I would get a gut feeling that when it came down to the things he built from scratch to our relationship he'd pick his work over me. I knew he was busy which is why I never spoke up. I don't want to stress him out considering all he's done for me.
He works so I can stay at home. Tom refuses to let me work because he worries something will happen to me.
I got ready for bed but I couldn't sleep. I had a difficult time sleeping considering he was still out. I huffed deciding I would sleep in the guest room because I was too upset and too angry to lay next to Tom after tonight. And I would find myself glancing over at his side of the bed. Even our sheets smelled like him.
This whole week he's shown up late promising things he never did.
Grabbing one of the smaller blankets on the bed I walked out of our room. Our house had many guest rooms and I decided to sleep in the guest room on the first floor of our house.
Turning on the lights in the guest room I spot the queen bed in the center of the room.
I chose a majority of our bedsheets. I remember Tom taking me out shopping for our house. I picked out comforters along with the carpets in our house. He didn't mind that I chose to decorate our house.
"I was thinking of hiring someone to do the interior love" Tom said as he bit into his chicken I had prepared.
"What why?!" I questioned. Tom raises an eyebrow at me confused.
"Did you want to do the interior?" Tom asked me looking up at me.
"I thought we were both going to do it" I replied as I cut into my chicken. We sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Tom broke the silence between us.
"Well in that case we can do it" He added on Tom grabs my hand placing a kiss on it.
I jumped into the bed shifting around to make myself comfortable. I point my wand at the light switch turning off the light.
Not long after I hear the front door open, hinting Tom has arrived home. I hear his footsteps head over to the kitchen. The guest room was the closest room to the kitchen. It had a good view of the living room and kitchen. I had left a slight gap in the door allowing me to see the kitchen.
Tom opens the fridge grabbing the plate of food I had prepared for him. He stares at the plate before sighing in realization he'd forgotten about the dinner he promised. Tom places his plate in the microwave watching and waiting as it heats up.
Pulling it out of the microwave he sets it on the counter eating his food. After a couple of minutes he finishes and puts his plate in the sink washing it. Good.
Tom looked good as well. He had a black suit on and he never failed to look presentable. Even after Hogwarts we still managed to look good. He grabs a towel drying his hands.
Tom walks up stairs as I hear his footsteps grow quiet as he walks farther away. I hear our bedroom door open before the sound of other doors start to open. Footsteps are easily heard rushing up and down the halls. He was most likely looking for me.
My phone lights up in the dark room and I pick it up to check my notifications to see it was Tom.
Tom: where are you y/n?!
Tom: if your mad at me I'm sorry just come home
Tom: answer your phone y/n
Tom: y/n sweetheart
I don't bother responding to his texts. He'd be informed I read his messages and knowing his temper he won't take it easily.
"Maria" I hear Tom shout from upstairs. Maria was our house elf. I see Maria running up the stairs.
"Yes master" She speaks stumbling her words afraid of Tom.
"Where is y/n?!" He questions. Maria thinks for a bit before nodding her head.
"Right in the guest room master" She says feeling confident in her answer.
"I've already checked all the guest rooms" Tom shot right back. Maria thinks confused on what to say next.
Not long after a thought pops up in Toms head. He'd just remembered the room downstairs.
"Your excused" Tom said moving Maria out of his way and marching downstairs.
I take a small peek and see Tom staring right at the door. My eyes widen before I pretend to be sleeping. The door is opened and I can hear Toms breathing.
I hear Tom sigh as his steps get closer to me.
"Y/n" He speaks softly taking a seat next to me on the bed. Still upset with him I turn over facing my back at him.
"I'm sorry baby" Tom mumbles as he places a hand around me. He hugs me but I don't shove him off of me.
I can smell his cologne lingering on him still. He moves my hair away from my neck placing soft kisses on my neck. I remain silent still keeping my eyes shut.
I wanted to leave him suffering just a bit longer because of how he stood me up.
"I can hear your thoughts baby and I'm sorry" Tom begged kissing my cheek. Finally opening my eyes I push Tom off of me.
"This is the third time Tom" I said to him keeping my back faced at him.
"I know and I'm sorry, I promise I'll make it up to you" He says in a pleasing tone. I feel Toms hand rest on my hips rubbing his thumb softly against my skin.
"You say that too much" I spat at Tom annoyed.
"I mean it this time" He added on.
"I don't want you upset and angry with me" Tom rambles.
"And you should know better than anyone I won't sleep till you forgive me so I'll gladly sit here all night until you do" Tom continues talking and I can't help but smile just a little bit.
He hated whenever we would share disagreements or arguments even when he was aware he was in the right he would still go out of his way to buy me small gifts. Of course I apologized but he always forgave me.
Turning around to face Tom his eyes immediately look at mine. I notice he was still in his suit and I felt bad it was 12 and I'm sure he was tired he hasn't even showered yet.
"Promise this time?" I asked him sitting up in the guest bed.
"I promise" Tom says smiling grabbing my hands and placing a kiss on both of them.
"Now give me a kiss" He demands. I smile before leaning in to kiss him softly.
