Every couple goes through the phase of the honeymoon where everything is very beautiful, simple and enthralling, but like every phase this also ends. Not that love is gone, it's just that you come to see the other person exactly as she is, but incredible as it may seem, Ethan and Emma have never had a fight in all their four months of dating. Friends laughed and found it odd because they both had an explosive temper, but they just didn't care.
Emma was chirping through the huge aisles of the target looking for Ethan. It was late at night, but he convinced her that they were preying on groceries to pull all nighter again. She turned left into the electronics corridor, and in a few seconds her eyes caught his, and she smiled.
“When you said groceries I thought of food not in cameras”She gestured at the objects in front of her.
“funny”he rolled his eyes“I was seeing this new camera that just got here. The resolution is so fucking good.”
“Wow! It's incredible!Fuck! I should have brought my card”She smacked her forehead in regret“I need a new camera and this baby is perfect”she muttered as admired the object in her hands.
“I'll buy it for you”He shrugged and she laughed heartily.
“absolutely not”
“why?”He stared at her.
“Ethan, I've told you millions of times that I don't want you to spend money on me”She sighed.
“But I want to give it to you.”
“but I do not want”
“fuck emma! Why do you have to be so complicated?”He raised his voice and she jumped in fright. Some staff watched everything from afar.
“I'm being complicated? nice ”She returned the camera and headed toward the store. Anger grew more and more into her and her only desire was to go home.
Ethan sighed in defeat and followed her. They got in the car and all they heard was silence. Emma had her eyes glazed on her window as if she were watching the best episode of Dr. Phill there. She didn't want to say anything because she knew herself and knew him very well and knew that any word that was exchanged now would end in another fight. But unfortunately he didn't think the same.
“It's just a fucking camera, emma. I don't want to buy you a house”He sighed tightly.
“Ethan, I really don't want to fight you now”She whispered without taking her eyes off the window.
“IF WAS GRAYSON YOU WOULD LIKE” He shouted, letting himself get angry.
“FUCK YOU! THE SAME THING I SPEAK FOR YOU I SPEAK FOR GRAYSON. I DO NOT LIKE TO GET GIFTS AND I DO NOT LIKE TO SEE PEOPLE SPENDING MONEY WITH ME! I AM NOT WITH YOU TO RECEIVE A GIFT EVERY FUCKING MINUTE. I AM WITH YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!”She replied in the same tone. She got out of the car as soon as she spotted her apartment and headed toward it.
“FUCK FUCK FUCK! ”he punched the steering wheel. She had never screamed like that. He had never seen her like that before. And that's when he knew he'd gone too far.
