I clicked the power off button on the tv remote and rolled off the couch into the floor. I let out a groan as I checked my watch.
8:46
Ralph promised he would be home from the karate kid set by six a clock. We were supposed to go to a fancy restaurant for a date around six thirty. I guess it was time to stop waiting, he was going to get home late...again. That would be the sixth time this month.
I washed my makeup off and put some pajamas on. Then, I laid back on the couch and read some of my book.
The apartment door unlocked and Ralph walked in looking guilty.
"Hey, look, let me go get dressed real quick and we can go out to the restaurant," he said throwing his keys on the table and taking off his jacket.
"Ralph, I already took all my makeup off and I don't feel like going out anymore." I cringed a little bit when I told him this, I didn't want to upset him. His face dropped and he sighed. I sat up and made room for him on the couch.
"I'm sorry, love," he sat next to me and looked at the ground,"this keeps happening and it shouldn't. I keep trying to make time for you, but the producers keep making me stay and I can't call you to let you know and it's just not fair. I cant do this Chloe, not for much longer. I'm so lost im-"
I cut him off by cupping his face in my hands and kissing him gently.
"Ralph, it's okay. I don't mind the busyness. I signed up for it remember?" I waved my fingers around in front of him, my ring glittering in the lamplight. His cheeks tinted pink and he smiled faintly.
"It's not fair to you though, Chlo-. I come home and all we do is go to bed, and sometimes we get eat dinner together. That's not okay." he was back to frowning and his eyes were watery and tired.
A tear trailed from his eye down his cheek and I wiped it away quickly with my sweater sleeve. I kissed his nose and laid my head on his chest. He pulled me into his lap and held me for awhile.
"Your right Ralph, I want a divorce."
(S I K E BAHAHAHA OKAY ILL CONTINUE NOW)
"-Your right Ralph, I want you to be happy and if spending more time together will make you happy then.... why don't I go to set with you? I mean, is that a thing I can do?" I asked.
His face lit up and his eyes seemed to automatically dry. He kissed me happily and after the kiss our foreheads rested together.
"I'll make it a thing," he chuckled.
I smiled and pulled him in for another kiss.
