Stormi
**Stormi
Today is September 06 and i just received a promotion at work. me and a few co workers decided to go out to my favorite bar to have a few drinks and celebrate. the night was going great until i kept getting phone calls from my husband elijah. he kept calling back to back. i knew nothing was wrong because whenever i decide to go out with friends he calls repeatedly. i was out with my friends enjoying and celebrating. i've been working my ass off for this promotion, working late nights, taking time from my personal life to seal this deal, busting my tail to gather up information, calculate numbers, i needed this! i deserve a drink... or two. whatever he wanted or needed could wait.
on the 20th call i decided to answer the phone.
Stormi: excuse me guys. it's my husband *excuse herself from the table and steps outside* hello elijah..
**Phone Conversation
Elijah: hello elijah? that's all you have to say? *angry*
Stormi: well you called numerous times so i'm assuming it's extremely important. *sips her wine out the glass*
Elijah: do you know what time it is? i've cooked dinner and everything and you aren't even here *yells*
Stormi: put it in the microwave i'll heat it up when i get there. *rolls eyes and sips more wine*
Elijah: wooow. you really forgot.
Stormi: *confused* forgot what?
Elijah: storm what day is it?
Stormi: thursday?
Elijah: the date?
Stormi: September 6th? *stops and thinks for a second* September 6th... Septem— OH SHIT! i'm so sorry babe i'm on my way.
**End Of Phone Conversation
Stormi: *rushes back into the bar joining her coworkers* you guys will have to finish without me. something came up and i have to rush home
Bridget: is everything alright girl?
Stormi: yes everything is fine. i've just forgot that' today is a special day. *leaving money on the bar* next round on me. be safe and text me when you guys get home. NO DRINKING AND DRIVING!
*stormi quickly leaves the bar and rushes home*
Stormi: *arrives home and gets out the car and rushes into the house* babe?
Elijah: *cleaning off dinner table and blowing out candles*
Stormi: *walks into the dining area* babe i'm so sorry. i—-
Elijah: *putting food in containers and putting dishes in the sink* i don't want to hear it tessica. there's nothing you can say that would make this situation better.
Stormi's POV
geesh! he called me by my real name. i've really screwed up this time... BADLY!Stormi: baby i'm sorry today i'll make it up to you
Elijah: *slams eating utensils in sink and looks up at stormi* HOW!? TESSICA HOW!? YOU FORGOT OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Stormi: *gets teary eyed* eli i'm sorry...
Elijah: *sighs* save your tears stormi.. i don't have time for it *leaves the kitchen and goes to their bedroom*
Stormi: *looks at the the dinner table and sees a cake on the table that's says "i love you". spots a vase with roses in it and sees a bottle of her favorite wine sitting in ice. sees a little black box sitting on the table with a envelope under it. she opens the black box and sees a beautiful rose gold ring with a pink diamond inside. she takes a seat at the table and opens the envelope and sees that it's a note so she reads it*
NOTE : Having you by my side makes me the happiest, most grateful and luckiest person in the world. Happy anniversary to my soul mate.
Stormi: *feels the tears run down her face and walks to the bedroom where elijah was*
Elijah: *unties his tie and unbuttons his shirt*
Stormi: elijah baby i'm so sorry. please let me make it up to you.
Elijah: it's fine. tonight you showed me what is more important to you. *grabs suitcase out closet*
Stormi: babe.. please don't do this i'm sorry.. you're important to me and you know it
Elijah: Am i Stormi?! am i really important to you? *looks at her while he packs his suitcase* because i don't think so if i was so important you would've told your alcoholic coworkers to go have drinks without you and you would've came straight home to me on OUR anniversary night!
Stormi: i'm sorry elijah i truly am
Elijah: *takes a deep breath* lately i've been feeling as if i'm in this marriage alone. i feel like i'm the only one who wants this to work. i get no support from you. i feel like you are not dedicated as i am. we vowed to be there for each other. we vowed to give this marriage our all!
Stormi: and we also vowed to love each other for better or for worse till death do us part. *walks over to him and holds each side of his face with her hands* baby i'm sorry i really am. i admit these few months i haven't been the best wife but i promise you I'm only working like this so we could have a better future. please don't give up on us. forgive me for being inconsiderate of your feelings. please...
Elijah: *looks into her eyes* i forgive you stormi
Stormi: *kisses him* i love you so much
Elijah: *kisses her back* i love you too.
Stormi: *steps back and holds both of his hands* now... let me make it up to you
