Unexpected Love (Editing)

Chapter 99

Liliana's pov

"I can not believe that I actually met Obama. I met the President of the United States" I smile excitedly as Derek and I walk into his house

"Well I had to make good on my promise now didn't I" he smiles. I've been in D.C. for 2 weeks now and I'm actually starting to enjoy myself for the first time in awhile. It's been nice waking up in a different setting and just waking up to new adventures and getting to make new memories everyday. The best memory I've made definitely happened today, when Derek set up a White House tour for us and introduced me to Barack Obama.

"You are the best Derek Shepherd. Do you know that? I cannot believe you set that up" I say as we walk into the living room and sit down

"I told you I would. I always knew you were an Obama supporter, but I don't think I've ever seen you so excited" he smiles

"I met the President of the United States can you blame me. I don't think I've ever taken so many pictures in one day since my wedding day" I say

"I told you, you were going to need another photo album by the time you go back to Seattle" he says

"You weren't lying" I say. "I'll be back. I'm going to go to the room to call Jackson and tell him about my day. Hopefully, he's in a good mood" I sigh as I stand up

"Good luck" he says

"I need it" I say before walking into the room and calling Jackson. I thought as a couple of days passed maybe Jackson would be less hostile, but that has not been the case at all. I think things have actually gotten worse between us.

"Hello" Jackson answers

"Hey you. Guess who I met today" I smirk

"Who" he asks

"Barack Obama" I say excitedly

"That's nice" he says

"That's nice? Where is your excitement. You like Obama even more then I do, you're all into political figures" I say

"Liliana" he sighs

"No Jackson. Could you at least try to be a little happy for me. That I'm actually enjoying life for the first time in a while" I sigh

"Well excuse me for not being happy that my wife is selfish and thought it was okay to run away when we hit a rough patch in life" he says angrily

"You know what Jackson that is enough! I will not let you continue to try to make me feel guilty for making the decision to try to find myself again. To try to make myself whole. I am not a bad person for that" I yell

"No, just a bad wife" he yells back

"I can not believe you! Have you ever stopped to think maybe you're a bad husband" I reply

"Liliana, please" he mumbles

"No. You're my husband. You're supposed to want to see me at my best. You're supposed to support me and be the person who cheers me on in life, but you haven't did any of that lately" I frown

"And you're my wife. You're supposed to do the same for me and stay by my side when I need you. Marriage takes two people together to work, not two people spread across the country" he argues

"No, what a marriage takes is two people who love and support each other, two people willing to make sacrifices and two people willing to keep trying no matter how hard things get, no matter how far apart they are" I say

"Sacrifices? It's easy to mention that when you're never the one sacrificing anything. It's always me. I'm always the one who has to suck things up to make sure you're okay and I can't keep doing it" he sighs
