I stepped onto the front porch of my house more nervous than I have ever been. Closing the door behind me, I walked into my home for the first time in a week. Mike and I, we've never gotten into a fight like that before. I still feel bad. I still feel hurt.
"Care, sweetheart? Is that you?" Mike walked down the stairs a huge smile plastered on his face once he saw me. "I couldn't be happier to see you." My husband wrapped his arms around me tightly, catching me off guard a bit. "Are you hungry? I was thinking maybe we could go out to dinner?" Mike smiled before softly kissing my lips only I pulled away. "Care-"
"I'm sorry..." I apologized with a small sigh. "I'm really tired." I bit my lip looking up at him. "I think I'm gonna go take a nap." I added causing him to nod kissing my forehead gently.
I couldn't stop the tears from falling from my eyes as I laid in bed the covers pulled over my body, thinking of all the wonderful memories that Mike and I have had together. All the nights that we'd stay up till early in the morning just talking while others we'd stay up making love all night. I love him, I love him so much.
What he said hurt me. It hurts me. I can't seem to get the words out of my head. "Being you isn't enough". Mike had always told me how much he loved me, how much he loved every single thing about me. Mike always made me feel so loved, so special. Always. Until now.
"Baby... Is everything alright?" Mike questioned as he entered the bedroom sitting on he edge of the bed. "Let's talk." He laid down facing me.
"Did you really mean that? What you said to me that day... You said that me being me was what made you upset." I said biting my lip as I looked into his eyes.
"Carrie, I am sorry. You know that I love you and that I love everything about you. I was just angry that you're more popular than I am and that's why people were calling me that." Mike explained looking at me seriously. "I am proud to be your husband baby... I truly am. If your husband is the only thing they know me as that's fine." He placed his hand on the side of my face softly kissing my lips.
"Mike what made me upset is the way you were treating me. I am sorry they called you that." I apologized once we pulled away. "I really am, I never wanted that to happen." I sighed as a small tear fell from my eye.
"Baby, don't be upset." Mike pulled me closer gently wiping the tear from my face. "I love you Carebear." He whispered before kissing me, slowly slipping his tongue into my mouth reminding me how much I've missed him.
"I love you too." I sighed pulling away for a split second only for us to kiss again Mike pulling my body against his one of his hands resting on my lower back.
Ugh! I'm getting writers block. Short chapter, I know.
