Henry Cavill Imagines (y/n)

34: Broken Promises

You harshly removed yourself from the car and quickly made your way up to the house. Henry was late to yet another date night with you and your parents due to work, this time missing out on a plan that was initiated by him. "Y/n," Henry called to you, he wasn't very far behind. You rushed into the house and had the strongest urge to slam the door in Henry's face but you didn't, you only threw your set of keys into the key bowl that sat on the shelf and began to head upstairs. "Y/n can we talk please!?" Henry shouted. You continued to ignore him as you didn't want to say anything hurtful while being angry. So you went into the bedroom and got ready to shower. You knew that would calm you down. While showering you thought if you were being overdramatic, but you reassured yourself that you weren't. Henry promised that he would make it this time and he failed to come through for the fifth time. You let the other times pass because you understood that he had to work, but since you've started your new job Henry doesn't have to work as much. Still, Henry loves his job way too much and probably doesn't even realize that he's putting it before your relationship. After some minutes you heard a knock at the door and rolled your eyes at the sound, knowing Henry was going to continue to pry until you spoke to him. "Y/n please open the door. I'm sorry about tonight." You turned the knobs to cut the water off and squeezed any excess water out of your curls. You then stepped outside of the tub and wrapped your towel around your body as you waited for Henry to keep talking. "Look I know I messed up, I'm sorry. Please let me explain." You slowly put your hand onto the doorknob and unlocked it, to which Henry slowly opened the door and slid inside. A rush of cold air came in with him, and he stood towering you in his tight fitted white dress shirt and black slacks. He had apparently removed his shoes before coming in. You held the towel to you and looked up to him beginning to speak your mind to him. "Henry you promised," You started. "I know I know, I am so sorry that I missed out again. But you know how my boss is," You spoke again right before he could say anything else. "Henry, you're always working, do you realize how much you leave me here at home by myself?" Your frustration toward him began to heat up. "I miss you all the time because you're never here! Why can't you just be here?" You felt that you were on the verge of crying but you tried to hold it in, you wanted to be strong, you wanted to speak your mind. But your emotions came over you and soon enough you were crying and pouring your heart out to him. "You're not here when I need a shoulder to cry on, when I want to be loved Henry you're not here to touch me, you never have time to go out with me because you're either too tired or working and im tired of it!" Once you were done you covered your face with your hands and stepped back from Henry a little. But that only made him step forward and grab you into his arms. "Please don't cry my love, I'm so sorry." His voice was strained and struggled to get out of his throat. He wrapped one of his arms around your back and the other around your head as he pulled you into his chest. "I love you so much, please don't cry." He held you tighter and your tears began to recede. You backed out of his arms and shook your head leaving the bathroom and heading to the bedroom, to which he followed you. "Y/n please," You whipped back around to face him. "No Henry, I'm tired of your broken promises." You said. He came closer to where you stood which was infront of the bed. Your hair still dripped with light dampness and it showed on Henry's shirt. Suddenly Henry got down on his knees infront of you and placed his hands on your waist squeezing lightly. "Baby please listen to me, I swear on my life I will never spend another extra hour at work. I'll do whatever I need to do to fix anyway that I've hurt you. I'll even quit." You looked down at henry with your hand over your mouth to silence your quiet whimpers from the crying you had just gotten over. "I just want more of you, Henry. I mean your coworkers see you more than I do and you're my husband." He placed his forehead on your lower stomach and held you closer to him. "I'll do better love, I swear it." After a while, you slowly put your hand on the back of his head as he engulfed your whole lower half into his arms and sighed. Seeing Henry on his knees, begging you, and in this state assured your heart that he was genuinely sorry, and you still loved Henry so much that your heart softened for him in this moment. You placed your hands on his arms and he slowly looked up at you with ruffled hair because of the towel you had wrapped around you making it frizzy, he then brought his arms off of you and got back to his feet. "I'll be here ok? No more broken promises." You looked him into his now red eyes and nodded, placing your head on his chest as he put his arms back around you. Hope was still alive that he would fulfill his promise this time.
