Her silence was allowing him the courage and space to find the right words to say. Hopefully he can get this right to avoid something like this from ever happening again.

Things have been a rollercoaster lately. One night I'm wiping his babies off my face, the next night I wanna punch his. I guess being single for so long had conditioned me to find joy and happiness in a boring, mundane life. I slept peacefully every night knowing I wasn't being cheated on, or not having to deal with a crazy ass drunk ex coming at me in the middle of the night. But here we are.
"Baby... I'm so sorry-" Anthony put his hand on my knee.
"Anthony I swear if you're fucking around on me-"
"I'm not babe, I promise. Can you please let me explain?" He rubbed my back while the other hand tried to wipe my tears away, which wouldn't stop. Now normally my reaction to a situation like this wouldn't be crying, but damn that tequila.
"Remember in San Diego we talked about our last time? It was with her. We broke up a while ago but we'd hook up every now and then if we were in the same city or whatever at the time..." He paused waiting for some kind of reaction from me.
Not going to lie, those words frightens me. Anthony travels a lot. Would things have happened differently if I wasn't around tonight?
"And..." He said hesitantly.
Oh god what.
"She was at the game tonight.. She came by the dugout and wanted to talk to me but I told her that I was very happy in my relationship with you now and she can't come around anymore. Everyone saw me turn her away. Nes was even trying get her to leave."
I know it's not cheating but it felt like it was for a brief moment, just knowing she was at his game. But there are lots of girls at his games. This was just something I would have to get used to.
While we're miles and miles apart.
Ugghh.
With everything that was happening in my chemically imbalanced body and mind, I could still feel his sincerity through his touches and voice.
I inhaled deeply, feeling calmer with every back rub. He could sense I was feeling a little better now, even though I wasn't speaking.
"I'm sorry she came over and acted stupid with you. You didn't deserve any of that."
I sat quietly in my feels, welcoming the back rubs and being babied by him.
"I got her a good one though, yeah?" I softly chuckled sniffling.
"Yes you did my little Rocky Balboa." He laughed and hugged me, kissing my head.
I needed that. I'm feeling much better but I still want to be babied right now.
"I love you so much." He squeezed me tighter.
"I love you. Can you continue babying me in the bath now?" I asked sweetly between my sniffles. I'm a mess of emotions, don't judge.
"I would love to continue babying you in the bath." He said in between kisses on my sweaty forehead.
