Chapter 21- The end of us?

Later that day, Stephen had took me out to lunch at some little cafe. I didn't tell him about what had happened at the photoshoot, but I was fuming with anger.

Who the hell did she think she was? Just because she was his ex-girlfriend, didn't mean she had any say over who he was dating. I had a funny feeling I was going to have to deal with a crazy ex. And I was right.

This was so frustrating. But I couldn't let this bother me. I was going to talk to Stephen about this when we got home. I couldn't just keep this to myself, and let this keep eating at me. When we were done eating at the cafe, Stephen drove us back home.

Twenty minutes later, Stephen parks his Range Rover into the driveway. He shuts off the engine, and I unbuckle my seatbelt.

Opening the car door I get out, as Stephen opens up his door. We both head towards the house. Pressing the car remote, he locks the car doors. I grab my keys from my purse, and open up the front door.

I head towards our room to change into something comfy. Placing my purse on the closet table, I remove my clothes. I settle for one of Stephen's black shirts, and a pair of black pj shorts.

When I'm finally finished, I head out of the room to find Stephen. I find him in the living room going through his phone. I plop myself down onto the couch right next to him. Drawing his attention away from his phone, he gives me his full attention.

"Something wrong, mi amor?" He asks.

"Elijah...I don't want to make a big deal out of this. But it's going to drive me freaking insane. It's not enough that she was with you on your birthday. But also at your photoshoot too?!" All my built up frustration was just spewing out of me. I was honestly agitated with this whole situation.

I didn't want to have to deal with a crazy ex-girlfriend. This was not on my itinerary. I wanted to just be with Stephen no matter what the issue was, but this was cutting it way too close.

Breaking me from my thoughts, Stephen adjusts himself on the couch, so that he's facing me.

"Look, I didn't know she was going to be there either. But you really are making this a big deal. I'm with you and you already know how I feel about you. So, what's the issue? I don't come home to her, and I don't sleep with her. You need to learn how to have trust in me." He sighs in annoyance.

I understood where he was coming from. But what he needed to understand was the fact that I was afraid of losing him to someone. Especially, his ex-girlfriend who was more fit for him and his image.

I've tried so hard to become the girlfriend who is strong, supportive, and confident in our relationship. it's hard to always hide my true feelings. I'm insecure, scared, and an emotional wreck.

I'm just not use to his fast pace lifestyle. Am only human, and I have my days. Some days am fine with everything, and some days am insecure about everything.

But I always try my hardest to keep a smile on my face, because I love him. I was fighting for our relationship, and he just needed to understand that I was really trying my best.

Not getting any reply from me, he sighs pinching the bridge of his nose. Sometimes I felt as though he never understands me. He always claims that he listens, and that he understands. But I just think Stephen is slowly getting tired of our relationship. And it's written all over his face.
