Love Like This

"It's not a big deal"

Everything with Shawn and I was going really great. We had been together for a few moths at this point and the only "issue" was not taking enough pictures together. Val was in for a surprise.

After spending a day of shopping with her mother Val decided it was time to catch up with Shawn's day.

"Hey babe how was work?"

"It was alright. But you won't believe what happened"

"What was it?"

"So my boss called me in his office today. When I walked in all of my bosses where their and told me to close the door."

Well someone got fired.

"I sat down and waited for him to say something. Do you want to guess?"

"No, just say it."

"Where is a good place to get pizza?"

"Wait. . . So your telling me your bosses all got in a room and had you close the door just to ask about a good pizza spot?"

"Yea!!!! I couldn't believe it myself. Even everyone else was like what the fuck was that."

I had never been more relieved and confused at the same time. 

Fast forward to the next day. . .

I was out shopping with my mother once again. This time was a bit boring so what was I going to do in order to get through this Wal-mart trip? Text my mans of course. 

He wasn't responding which pissed me off but I can't be mad he's working. Nah I can absolutely be mad. He needs to pay attention to me.

While I was having this mental argument with myself I noticed I received a text from a unsaved number. "Why does this number look familiar"

"Hey what's up?"

I have this gut feeling it could be Jay but I'm not so sure of it. 

"Who is this?"

"It's Jay your ex"

Why is the actual fuck would he have to specify it's my ex. Who else would text me from an unsaved number?

"Why are you texting me?"

"I wanted to see how you where doing. I could just leave you alone if you want."

"Yes please."

"Ok."

Well that was easy. Of course I had to let Shawn know as any good girlfriend would do.

"Babe my ex texted me!"

"What did he want?" 

"Just to see how I was doing."

"Ok."

I was kind of use to receiving just a simple 'ok' when he was at work but something told me he was pissed. I mean I don't blame him but why do I get the feeling he's more bothered by it than I am.
