Y/N'S POV
Me and Mattheo had been married for already five years. Our relationship was nothing but perfect.
But then we got a little extension to our family. Our daughter. She's nothing but angel. So cute, beautiful and perfect.
But because of that Mattheo has been working way more lately. I know he wants to afford us a perfect life but we barely see him anymore. He's always at work.
Tonight when he came home I finally got courage to confront him about it. I know there's a lot going on to him but that doesn't approve of his behavior.
I waited and waited untill it was 11 pm. Our daughter was peacefuly sleeping. I hear the front door open.
Mattheo walked into living room. "Good evening, honey." I say. "Good evening" he says and you can hear he's tired.
"Mattheo I need to talk to you about something important." I say. "Can it wait for tomorrow?" he asks not even looking up to me.
"No, it can't acually. Cause tomorrow you go to work at 6 am and come back at 11 pm. And I understand you work much for me and our daughter Mattheo but you need to realize you don't spent time with us at all anymore." I say.
"Y/n, what do you expect me to do? To be with you all God damm time just because you're so clingy you can't go a minute without my attention. And the bills will pay them selfs." he says raising his voice a bit.
"First don't raise your voice at me cause our daughter is sleeping due to fact she waited for her dad to come home from work cause she didn't see him for a week but it was so late she couldn't keep her eyes open anymore." I say.
"Y/n, what do you expect me to do? To quit my job so I can cuddle with you two." he says.
"No, I know you work so we can have a great life but Mattheo I don't see you anymore. I just want one hour a day to cuddle with you and our daughter, to kiss you, to hug you. I feel like you don't love me anymore." I say in low voice.
I feel tears in my eyes threatening to fall. "MAYBE I DON'T." he yells and my heart breaks. He doesn't love me anymore.
What happend to us? Did I do something wrong? "Fine, then why are you with me?' I ask. "You're right. For no reason." he says.
"Then maybe we should get a divorce." I say not believing my own words. "Well, maybe we should." he yells disopointed.
"Fine, then we'll get a divorce. You can sleep in the bed tonight I'm taking the couch." I say walking away from him to grab my blanket.
"Great" he says as he storms upstairs. I lay on the couch for hours not able to fall asleep.
The words of our fight repeating in my mind. I can believe we are getting divorced. I love him. And what will be with our daughter? My little love.
MATTHEO'S POV
I was turning around in the bed. It wasn't comfortable at all. It wasn't warm like it was when Y/n is here.
I can believe I said all the things. I love her more then I love anything and anyone in this world. I love her more then my life itself.
But she was pretty clear about getting divorce. What did I do? I'm alone in the king size bed which is way colder then usual.
He's not comfortable as he is when she's here. When she snuggles next to me. When I wake up next to her and just admire her beauty knowing I have to go to work even if I don't want to.
I just wanted to afford us and our daughter a perfect life and look what I just did. I ruined everything.
If I just didn't work that much. Everything would be much better. I would have Y/n cuddling next to me right now.
Even worse is she's laying in the living room on the couch. I wasn't even nice enough to let her take the bed and I lay on the couch. I feel empty without her next to me.
And now I will have to get used to this. I worked so much that I didn't even spent an hour with my wife and daughter. I really suck. I'm so sorry. I'm such a jerk. My little love.
~tomorrow evening~
Y/N'S POV
I haven't seen Mattheo whole day. He left early for work as always. Currently it's 8pm and our daughter is in her bed.
I hear the doors open and Mattheo walk in. "I brought them." he says sadly looking at the floor.
"What? What did you brought?" I ask. "Divorce papers." he says still not looking at me. "Oh" I say.
He puts them on the table and I walk over. "So, do you want to sign them now or?" I ask. "I don't care, as you want." he answers.
I sit down and he sits down next to me. "You can go first." I say handing him the pen. He nods and takes it. Our hands accidentally touch making both of get goosebumps.
"Are you ready?" he asks softly but I don't answer. He slides the paper towards him as he scans his paper to where his signature was needed.
Just as his pen was about to touch the paper he sudently stops and looks at the wall. There was a photo of both of us and our daughter happily smiling.
Both of us sadly glanced at each other. I faintly smiled "It's the right thing to d-" but I get cut off by a sweet tiny voice saying "What is the right thing to do?"
Both of us look at our three year daughter smiling happily at us. "Dad you're home." she says as she runs up and hugs him.
He hugs her back with tears in his eyes. "Will you read me a bed time story?" she asks. .
"Yes, but first I have to do something. You go and I'll be there soon." he says sadly. "Okay" she says sweetly and runs upstairs. He turns back to the paper.
And just about he was going to sign it he pulls back. "You know what? I'm not signing this shit. Look I know you want this but I can't sign this. Y/n, I know I've been working way too much lately but I just wanted to give you a perfect life and I know it's no excuse. But I can't give up on 4 years of marrige over a stupid thing. I know I have been acting like a jerk. And I'm incredibly sorry for everything I did or said. I didn't mean nothing of that. Y/n, I love you more then anything in this world and I love our daughter so much. I can't leave you. Please don't leave me too. And if you really want this I will sign it. But I love you way too much to let you go like this." he says making my eyes tear up from happiness and my heart warm up.
I smash my lips on his without any hesitation. And I wrap my arms around his neck as he kisses me back deepening our kiss.
No matter how much time passed I still get buterflies every time he kisses me. I slowly pull back.
"I love you too, can we forget this and get back to how it was?" I ask. "Yeah, but I promise I will spent more time with you. Y/n, my love, I love you way too much to lose you." he say.
I kiss him and whisper against his lips "I'll be always be here." I love this man so much.
"Okay, now help me read our little princess a story." he says picking me up in bridal style and I gasp.
"How gentleman of you?" I say. "Of course, anything for my queen." he says kissing me. He carries me upstairs to her room.
"Mommy, you look like a princess." my little sunshine says giggling. "Oh, she looks even more beautiful then any princess." My husband says and I kiss him. "Ew" she says. My loves.
