Mrs. Miller (Sequel) [Completed]

Chapter four: Scariest Feeling In The World

"What brings you here?"

I look around as I sat down on the swirly stool. I look over at the guy as he's smiling at me.

Sighing, I shrugged. "Just looking for something."

"A drink, perhaps?" He smiles. Nodding, I watched as he made a shot, effotlessly then handing it to me. "On the house."

I tipped it back then let the liquid run down my throat, feeling the burn from it, I slapped the glass on the counter then looked up to see the guy watching me.

"That was some strong shit."

He smiles then grabs the glass. "Another one?"

"Please."

I watched as he pours another one, then before I knew it, I had downed at least three. I hung my head down as I was trying not to consume so much alcohol at the moment.

Just a little to get my mind off of things.

"So, what's the real reason you're here?"

Shrugging, I look up at him. "My wife and I got into an argument so I left and.." I shrugged, again. "here I am."

He leans his arms on the counter and watches me. "You know, alcohol isn't the answer. Communication is."

Nodding, I sigh. "Yes, but it sometimes isn't when my wife won't understand what I'm saying."

He smiles. "Or is is the other way around?"

"Huh?"

Leaning off the counter, he smiles. "I've worked here a long ass time to know everyone's story that walks through that door. I've heard a lot similar to yours and sometimes the one's who are sitting here are the one's to blame, not their spouse." I watched as he smiles then looks around. "I've been in plenty of relationships, not bragging, but I recently just married this woman who is my soulmate, and when we get into an argument and I storm off, I sit there and think about what happened and how it could be fixed. After thinking about it, I come to the conclusion that the problem is usually the person who storms off."

"That kind of made sense."

He smiles. "I mean, being married is hard, I understand that. But a lot of people want to take the easy way out and there is no easy way."

Sighing, I look at the counter. "I noticed that our arguments are pretty stupid and I get super hot headed over them for no reason."

"Most arguments from couples are dumb, but that doesn't mean that you can't work through it."

What this guy was saying makes a lot of sense and now I feel like shit from walking out of the door.

It's just that, after these years of being married, Julie changed. I can see how she acts and it's not the same as when I fell in love with her. She's a totally different person and I'm not sure what the problem is.

She acts different for one. I know that after we had Milly, she become this super strict, bitchy parent that I always couldn't stand. I understand that she's teaching Milly how to grow up, but sometimes she takes it too far.

She treats me like I'm still a kid. She doesn't think that I'm mature enough to take Milly out by myself or have any say it anything that has to do with making decisions about our life.

We hardly get intimate anymore, and it's not all about Milly. When we do have time alone, which is rarely, the sex isn't the same anymore. I don't feel like there's any love in it, it's basically just a quickie then we move on from it.

She says 'I love you' sometimes but it doesn't feel the same as when she told me years ago. It doesn't really have any meaning behind it anymore, and I can hear it in her voice.

It feels like our love is falling apart and it's honestly the scariest feeling in the world.
