I married my Bully

how could he forget?

me and Lucy went to a Nirvana concert last month and it was fantastic, Michael is at studio and has been since about 7am. Today is our 4th anniversary and I've heard nothing from Michael, he hasn't forgot has he? I tried ringing him earlier but I had no answer so I guess I'm spending the day alone. By late afternoon I'm so bored so I go and try to call Michael again

"hello"

"hey it's me"

"oh hey baby, you ok?"

"yeah, I'm fine. What time you home today?"

"I'm not sure. Hopefully 9 the latest"

"ok"

"well I gotta go, see you later. Love you"

"love you too" I say back and hang up, well that was pointless. I put my phone back on the table and it starts to ring, I smile hoping it will be Michael but the caller ID shows different

"hey Joey, how can I help?"

"nothing, for once" he laughs "I rang to say happy anniversary"

"thanks"

"you ok? you sound down"

"I'm fine, honest" I lie

"ok, so what has he done for you then"

"gone to work"

"you're joking right?"

"no, I'm being dead serious"

"why would he do that?"

"cause he doesn't even know the date probably"

"you wanna come over here?"

"no it's ok, I'm about to go and see Bubbles so it's fine"

"ok, hope he remembers soon"

"me too, talk soon"

I go and look for Bubbles and hang out with him for awhile before walking back to the house. I make dinner and it should be ready by the time Michael gets home.

9:40pm
Michael still isn't home so I give up and eat my food, I go and put his back in the kitchen then goes and have my shower then I go and watch a movie in bed.

11pm
I'm in the kitchen making another hot chocolate, as I'm walking back towards the stairs Michael walks in through the door

"hey, what you doing still awake" he smiles closing the door behind him

"getting another drink" I say as I make my way upstairs "your food is in the kitchen" I speak carrying on going back upstairs. He still has no clue, what is up with him? 40 or so minutes later Michael comes up and walks into the bathroom and turns the shower on

"what's up? you're quiet" he says standing in the doorway

"I'm fine" I say keeping my eyes on the tv

"babe, what's up? you know you can tell me anything"

"I'm fine, honestly just go and have your shower"

"ok, love you"

"love you more"

"oh yeah, it's our anniversary soon. What do you wanna do?" he calls from the shower

"nothing"

"what do you mean?"

"you're busy with work"

"you know I can make time"

"whatever you want then"

"ok" I carry on watching tv and Michael finishes his shower and puts his pj's on

"where you going now?" I ask as he walks towards the door

"just to check something in the office"

"still working on the album then"

"of course, you know I want to get it finished quickly. What is up with you today?"

"nothing"

"look I don't know what you're trying to get at so just get to it"

"I'm not trying to get at anything"

"I don't want an argument so when I come back please stop being like this"

"I'm not being like anything"

"you are"

"whatever" I say turning the tv off and curling up and I hear the door slam so I'm guessing he's left the room. A few minutes later I hear footsteps running up the stairs and getting closer to the door then Michael runs in and kneels down and the floor next to the bed and grabs a hold of my hand

"I'm so sorry"

"for what?"

"not being here today"

"how could you forget?"

"I'm really sorry, it's just I've been trying so hard on this album. Let me make it up to you, whatever you want"

"no point, it's almost over"

"we got 5 minutes left of it, please".

"fine"

he smiles and stands up and quickly jumps over me and cuddles up to me, I turn over and rests my head on his chest as he holds me close

"I'm so so sorry, I didn't mean to forget it"

"it's ok"

"but it isn't, the one thing I'm not meant to forget I did"

"Michael it's fine, I'll forgive you"

"I promise to make it up to you"

"ok" I kiss him and cuddle him more and slowly fall asleep.

I wake up the next day to a lot of noises coming from downstairs, I get changed and make my way downstairs "no it has to be perfect, she don't like any jam except strawberry" Michael says sounding very flustered

"she'll be downstairs soon so just make sure it's all set up perfectly"

the phone starts to ring so I go and answer it, I finish the call and Michael is stood by me "thought you had work?"

"no, I told them I wasn't going in today"

"why?"

"cause I'm making it up to you"

"you don't have to"

"yes I do, I feel so bad about it. Please let me make it up to you"

"ok"

he pulls me into a hug and kisses me then send me to the living room to watch tv, I smile and put Batman on and wait. 2hrs later he comes back and picks me up

"Michael where you taking me?"

"somewhere"

"can't I walk there myself?"

"yeah but I like carrying you"

"alright then"

After a few minutes we arrive at a picnic area all set up I take a seat opposite Michael and he starts to play some music quietly as background noise.

"4 years, that's a long time" I smile

"4 amazing years and many more to come" he smiles back whilst handing me a glass of wine

After food and two bottles of wine we're both laying down holding hands whilst our other hands point up at the clouds whenever we're able to create a shape. Even though it's a day late this is such a lovely day celebrating 4 wonderful years of marriage. Hopefully he or even me won't forget it in the future.
