How Deep Is Your Love

The Next Day

I knew shit was going to be tense this morning. Sky and Skylar sat on the couch staring holes into us.
"Would you like to go get something to eat? I asked.
She said nothing. She just sat on the couch cross legged her bunny slippers moving back and forth.
Not the silent treatment I thought. Larry didn't even try his hand with Skylar.
The girls went upstairs and slammed the door.
"Bro us really fucked up."
I said.
"Yeah Skylar non even look at me."
The girls came back like 20 minutes later with two overnight bags.
"Where you two going?" I asked.
"To a hotel." Skylar said
The girls walked to the front door I stood in front of it.
Looking Sky in her eyes I said " You non going anywhere."
She raised her eyebrow.
"Who's going to stop me? She challenged.
I wrapped my arms around her forcing her to move backwards pinning her against the wall. I kissed her neck causing her to drop her bag.
"Let me make it up to you." I begged.
Larry had Skylar pinned to the other wall he was getting better results than me.
Sky still wasn't convinced. She just looked at me with the same hurt and disappointment in her eyes.
I let her go knowing that I couldn't win right now she went back upstairs and slammed the door. I waited before I stepped into our bedroom trying to give her space. When I walked in she was curled up with Patro she looked like she had been crying again. I laid beside her not knowing what to say.
"Do you love me Laurent?"
"Yes."
"No I want you to really think this through."
"I do love you Sky I just do very stupid things."
She laid back down and closed her eyes Patro sat there looking at me with accusing eyes.
"Sky...."
"Hmmm?"
"Do you really want to leave me?"
She turned to face me.
"No but I can't keep playing your fool. I'm a person. I have a heart and each time you do this it breaks a little more."
I hung my head in shame.
" Non give up on us. I promise I'll be better man." I said as I pulled her body close to mine. She laid her head on my chest as I played in her hair. We spent the whole day in bed just laying there. Not too many words were spoken. I knew I had to be a better man or I was going to lose her. I'm glad she decided to give us another chance.
