"I cannot believe you didn't tell me that"
"Because there's nothing to tell. I turned it down. It's done"
"Yes but you would want that. You love your job, you love acting. It's your passion"
He moves closer to her. "I do but i love you more and i will pick you any day"
"I love you too and that's sweet but.."
"No buts please. It's done."
"Gabriel"
"Sab please. You know 2 years is a long time. Who the hell would want away from home for 2 freaking years?"
Sab shook her head. "You could have told me. I would understand."
"I know, i'm sorry"
"You think we wouldn't survive 2 years? It's not like we're not gonna see each other."
"I never thought of that. Because i was so focused on being here, with you."
"You don't think our love is strong enough to hold us together even if we are miles away from each other"
"No. No. Baby no. It's not that."
She is scoffs. "That is just great."
"What? Omygod. Can you not assume things that aren't true? You always do that and i always let it slide because i fucking love you. Jesus Sabrina"
She shook her head and leaves.
"Shit." Gabriel sighed and followed her. "I'm sorry." he held her hand then she removes it.
"I'm gonna go to Emily's."
"Sab it's just one thing i didn't tell you! I didn't tell you because it wasn't important! I always tell you things, i never lie to you and this one time i hid a thing you're just gonna walk away? Can we just talk about this? It's one freaking job it's not a loss. Jesus" He said
"I want us to be open to each other Gabriel. I want us to be completely honest with each other. I want you to feel that no matter how many miles we are away from each other.. it wouldn't change a thing about what you feel about me, because i know my feelings would never change even if you are in another planet, i love you and i always will and no distance could ever take that away. I wanted you to feel that way. I don't care that you didn't accept the job, i'm happy that you're staying, but your reason for it? It disappointed me. You wouldn't think of that if you trust me, if you think our love is strong."
Gabriel didnt talk until she finishes. He's just listening and nodding at her.
"I'm sorry" He said
"Yeah. Me too." Then she completely turned around and leaves.
"So you fought.. well that's a first" Emily said
"He's just so ugh" Sab groans
"I mean he means well don't you think?" Emily
"Yeah i do. It's just annoying that he thinks we wouldn't make it through that"
"True but can you blame him? The first time you two are away from each other you broke up."
"That was totally different."
"Does it? You were in another country and so does he and you barely talked to each other, and unlike the other sets you barely go home when it's weekend."
"That was me. Now it's him, i know him, he would make time for me, he will always book a flight australia to u.s every week. But he doesn't trust me"
"How do you know that?"
"If he trust me, he will talk to me about it."
"Do you want him to take it?" Emily asked
Sab didn't respond until a few seconds. "I don't know."
Emily nodded. "Go home and talk to each other calmly"
Sab nodded. "Thanks Em"
She smiled. "Anytime"
Then when Emily walks her to the door, she opens the door and saw Gabriel sitting on the hallway with his head down.
"Gabe?" Emily
He looks up. "Hey Em" then looks at Sab. "Hi"
Emily smiles at him then hugs Sab. "Go. Call me after" She said and closes the door.
Sab sat down beside him on the hallway.
Emily sticks her ear on the door to listen. But chuckles and shook her head and leaves them alone.
"Look" They said in unison
They chuckled.
"You first" Gabriel
"Okay. I'm sorry the way i acted. I was just upset and i assumed things without even hearing the rest"
"No, you were right. I'm just scared that i might not be able to fly back every week, Atlanta is easy but Australia? No. I was afraid that things might change, that once we got our distance, you realise that you don't need me and there's more than to marry me."
Sab looks at him and held his face. "I love you. And that will never change. No matter where you are"
Gabriel closes his eyes then a tear fell down. Then he opens his eyes. "I'm sorry. Truly"
"I'm sorry too." She said
"I love you" He said
"I love you" Then they hug.
After a few seconds, Sab lets him go and faces him. "I want you to go."
"What?"
She nodded. "We love each other. We can do this. 2 years is not long, you open your eyes and it's done."
"What about our wedding?" He said
"It can wait. This is what you're good at, i want you to soar. I'm here to support you wherever you are"
"Are you breaking up with me?"
She chuckled. "We'll just give each other space and see how we go."
"Isn't that slang for 'i'm breaking up with you'"
She shook her head. "I love you and we will see each other again for now we can facetime and text."
"I love you" He hugs her
Sab's tear fell down and quickly wiped it.
