Somebody to You

Ch.38.

The past few days,I have still gotten the silent treatment. I tried talking to her,but she kept treating me like I was just a fly on the wall. If there was a contest for silent treatment,Chloe would definitely win. It was a Friday night and tomorrow morning is my doctors appointment to see how my ribs are. My black eyes are getting less swollen each day,thank God.

I was on the couch,wearing my black jeans and a dark blue jean button up shirt,I was laying on the couch,waiting on the boys to call me,I saw Chloe in an attractive outfit,”Where are you going?”I sat up,still no answer.”Chloe!” I stood up,I grabbed her arm,”Chloe,I’m your husband,please tell me…” I looked at her.

“Out with some girlfriends,maybe you can invite Cami over.” she gave me a fake grin and walked out. I don’t know if I should be happy she actually spoke or upset at the remark. “Bar is open. Get your ass here.”  one of my buds texted me,I grabbed my keys and got in my car,I headed to the bar. I was ready for some guy time.

I walked in,”There is the Joester.” Chad high fived me,”Hello,guys.” I bro-hugged all of them,then got a seat at the table,”Budweiser please.” I ordered.”How is the Chloe has she talked to ya?” Michael chugging down his vodka,”She actually did tonight,I asked her where she was going and she said,out with girlfriends and that I should invite Cami over.” I shook my head,putting my beer bottle close to my lips,”She is so pissed at you,bro.” Chad chuckled.

I rubbed my forehead,”I don’t know what to do…I already did a romantic gesture...Ugh...this is so frustrating…” I rubbed my face,”Serenade her.” Michael shrugged his shoulders,I started laughing,”I don’t sing,dude. I leave the singing to Nick and serenading is the corniest shit.” I laughed,sipping my beer. “I was trying to help.” Michael rolled his eyes.”And she’s pregnant,so that knocks out a lot of gestures.”

“Were you planning on getting her drunk?” the boys laughed,I laughed a little,”Ha ha,hilarious.” I rolled my eyes,then I came up with an idea.  I got my phone and googled if it was safe for pregnant women.”Dude,Chad,can I borrow your boat Monday night?” I looked at him,”Why?” he looked at me,I glared at him. “Oh yeah,sure!!”

I headed home after a late night with the boys,I walked in and saw Chloe on the couch asleep,so I picked her up and carried her to her bed,I pulled the covers over her,I looked at her for few seconds,before I headed to the basement and opened the drawer full of photos,I sat down,going through the photos.

There were old photos of me,like since elementary school,photos of Chloe that I took before I went to talk to her the time we were in the club. I kept on going through photos,until I found what I was looking for. I came across pictures of Nick and I. We were on Chad’s boat for the Fourth of July. Nick actually was smiling in this photo and I wasn’t. This photo was at least a year old. I found the photos of Demi and I when we were in Mexico,I sighed. I decided to throw them away along with the photos I found of Cami and I.

I found the photos that I have,so I carried them upstairs to Damon’s bedroom and hid them in his closet,I headed downstairs to the couch.

The next day,we had a silent breakfast and we got ready for the doctor,today was my check up.  I slipped on jeans and a shirt,I got in the car as Chloe grabbed her purse and got in the car,I headed to the doctors. The car ride was silent,not surprising. I glanced at Chloe when I got a stop light,”You know you didn’t have to come. I could of gone by myself. I know you hate me.”

“I don’t hate you.” she crossed her arms,”You sure about that? Because this silent treatment  for days,is such a nice gesture,Chloe!” I scoffed,”You deserve it!” she huffed,”Deserved what!? It was just lunch to catch up! She knows I’m married!! She was a stripper,why would I go down that low!?” I kept driving. She became silent,again.
