We've Reached Our Limits (BWWM)

Irene's POV

I sat on the couch and waited for Leonardo to come home. It was our anniversary and he promised me that we were going to this new restaurant that just opened. I heard it was fancy and that I'll love it.

My foot tapped on the floor repeatedly. It was 9:30 and I know that our reservations were in 15 minutes. I played with my manicured finger and sighed. I hope he makes it on time. The kids were at my mothers house and I'd hate for me to spend the night waiting for my husband.

Yes I said husband. After announcing that I was pregnant again Leo promised that he'll never stray from our marriage and he wanted the kids to have both parents in their lives. As for Isaiah, he still loves with his father but he occasionally comes to visit town.

My thoughts were interrupted when Leo walked in.

"Hey why are you still up" he said walking to the couch  and kissing my cheek. That's weird, a kiss on the cheek. I squinted my eyes and looked at him shocked. He had forgotten.

"You forgot didn't you" I slapped my knee and got up. There's no use in looking this good anymore. I took my heels and earrings off and headed up the stairs.

"What's today" he asked following me.

"Are you serious. I ask you for one night, one night our anniversary. I don't care if you'd forgotten my birthday or whatever. But you promised me that this night OUR ANNIVERSARY that you won't forget but I guess that's too much to ask for" I yelled slamming the bedroom door in his face.

I can't believe that I actually trusted him.

"Oh shít" I heard him yell through the door. "I'm sorry Irene I really am. I promise that we'll go again to the restaurant and of your choice" he slapped the door. "Hey the night is still young we could still make it to at least one diner or Applebee's"

I love Applebee's but as of now I just want to lay down and forget this night. I opened the door with my old college shirt and shorts.

"No need, I'll just pick the kids up tomorrow and no the night is not young" I looked at the clock on the night stand. It was 11:51. "Goodnight" I shoved his pillow and a heavy blanket in his hands. He tried to speak but I closed he door quietly and went to bed.

How many times does this man have to break my heart to get the message.

Leo's POV

I opened my mouth to say something but she closed the door in my face.

I sighed and walked down the stairs but stopped when I saw a picture of us at our wedding a long time ago. We looked so happy. Well Irene looked like she just met Beyoncé with the smile on her face. I blew a deep breath I was holding in. I don't mean to do the stupid shít I do to hurt her.

I laid the blanket on the sofa in the living room. This will do tonight. As soon as my butt touched the couch my phone ranged signaling a text message. It was from Layla, my PA. It's no secret why I was late coming home tonight.

It read: Hey babe I missed you so much but call me back or spend the night xoxo.

I smiled and decided to go over. I'd rather be somewhere where I'm wanted then to be somewhere where I'm not. I grabbed a notepad and wrote : going to the bar don't wait up. I'll be home tomorrow.

I grabbed my keys and my coat and walked straight to my car. Maybe me and Irene getting back together was a terrible mistake and idea. The only reason why I brought the idea up was because I wanted the kids to have both parents together, but I honestly don't want to be with Irene at the moment.

"Glad you can make it baby" I heard Layla say when she opened the door.

"Me too" I kissed her lips and walked inside the house. I picked her up and walked her to her bedroom.

"I love you babe" I said while pecking her lips. She giggled and pecked me back.

"Love you too"

Irene's POV

I laid in bed thinking about Leo. I'm being irrational. He's been busy with work and here I am not conforming him. I pulled the covers off my body and ran down the stairs.

"Leo" I walked towards the couch that had wrinkled sheets and pulled them only to see that Leo wasn't there but only a notepad that said that he was going to the bar. I grabbed the sheets and fixed then so when he came back hell have a comfortable spot for sleeping.

Maybe I won't pick the kids up and have another go at our anniversary.
