Friday Night
"ALL YOU DO IS WORK. It's like you never have time for me anymore. You leave home early and come home late. We never spend time with each other anymore." Rya yells. As the couple were walking into the house from a date.
"Rya please calm down. I've told you before that my job is going through a change right now that it requires my attention more than ever. I'm sorry that we don't spend time with each other anymore but please Rya I'm trying." Dekario explains in an exasperated tone as he sits his jacket down on the couch.
"This is what you call trying ? I'd hate to see what you not trying looks like." Rya says in a sarcastic tone with a low chuckle.
"You know what Rya. I think we should just break up. If me being at work is such a burden to you then I don't think we should continue this relationship." He says while walking away stopping her in her tracks.
"Break up?" Rya questions. "You think we should break up?" She asks again in a yell .
"Yes. I think we should break up. We've only been dating for a few months and this relationship has been nothing but arguments and fights." He yells back matching her energy. "I'm tired of being the bad person in every argument and then having to make it up with expensive gifts and luxury trips. It's almost like you start these arguments in purpose." He shouts. "So yes Rya. YES I'm over it. Bloody Fucking over it" This time lowering his tone and pausing between each word.
She looked at him in a distraught manner. Her eyes began to water as a small whimper escapes her mouth.
"STACYYY" He calls out. Within seconds footsteps approach the two.
"Can you help Rya pack her things and take her home please. After don't worry about coming back you should go home and get some rest. Don't bother coming in tomorrow either . You'll still get paid I just need some time alone" he spoke to the woman while rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Sure, sir. Is everything okay? she asks. "Yes. I'm about to get in the shower and head out lock up and set the alarm when you're done please."
The man walks away from the two women and heads up stairs to his room. He enters the dimly lit room closing and locking the door behind him. He could hear Rya crying from the hallway but it wasn't anything new. He was pretty used to it at this point. He walks towards the bathroom. Removing his clothes and turning on the water to the shower. Grabbing his towels and soap from under the sink he enters the hot and steamy shower.
After he's done cleaning he lets the water run over his hair coating his hair and face.
I've never been too fond on relationships every time I get in one it always ends after a few months of arguing. They always end due to my lack of affection and attention towards the woman. It's not on purpose. My job takes a lot of time and energy from me. I know I spend long hours in the office and overseas on business trips but my job is my greatest accomplishment. I worked hard for it and is the reason it's so successful now. I know what you're thinking. If I'm young and can't keep a woman I'll be old and lonely. I know I've thought about it too. Truly speaking I do want a family and a loving wife. Especially after seeing what my mother and father has. Their marriage is beautiful and they raised 3 healthy children. I'm grateful to have them as my role models. Hopefully one day I will meet a woman who fits my needs and understands what my life is and is okay with the way I am. I know I can come off as cold and distant but I'm really just trying to shield the world from my sad past. So tonight I think I'll go out and grab a few drinks to take my mind off of what just happened. Don't get me wrong I did love Rya but every day it was a new argument about something I did wrong. To think she'd appreciate me more given the fact that I bought her a house and paid her moms medical bills. I guess money can't buy everything.
