A very tired Wilmer entered the apartment. The only thing that was making him smile was the thought of finally holding his girlfriend close to him.
But the smile faded away when he called her name and he did not get any type of response.
He went upstairs and took a shower. Then he put on some cozy clothing and sat down on the sofa to watch some TV.
He heard someone opening the door.
“Wilmer? Hey baby! I didn’t know you were gonna come” She said trying to catch her breath.
Wilmer turned around to see her standing there. She was wearing her sport clothing so he could tell she had been working out.
“That’s because I wanted it to be a surprise” He said and stood up to kiss her.
But she quickly pulled away.
“You should’ve called me to tell me you were coming… Now I won’t be able to do my last work outs”
“What last work outs?” He wanted to know, raising one eyebrow. “My last work outs, Wilmer, why the fuck do you ask so many fucking questions?” She was clearly annoyed.
“Um… Okay, baby… But there’s nothing wrong in skipping those work outs just one time, right?”
Demi sighed.
“Come on, nena, go upstairs, take a shower and we’ll watch a movie together, yeah?”
She nodded her head and went upstairs.
Wilmer went to the kitchen and prepared some pop corn and went back to the living room where he picked a movie and waited for his girlfriend to come back.
But she didn’t come back so Wilmer went upstairs to check on her.
He gasped when he saw her working out on the treadmill.
“Demetria! What the fuck!?” He was angry now.
“Wilmer, go away! Let me exercise, okay?” She yelled.
Wilmer rolled his eyes and walked up to her to oblige her to leave the treadmill. He turned it off for her and looked into her eyes.
“Tell me why” He demanded.
“I wanna be healthy”
“You’re already healthy. You’re over exercising”
Demi sighed and looked down.
“What’s your fucking problem?” She looked up and he saw the anger in her eyes.
“Demi, I fucking came just to see you and this is how you react? I missed you so much and all I wanted to do was to cuddle you but… You don’t seem to care… All you think about is this stupid exercising thing” He spat out, clearly upset.
“Wilmer, I swear to God that you’re so fucking selfish. You only think about yourself!”
“That’s not true and you know it”
Demi put her hands on her hips for emphasis.
“It is true.” She dared to look into his eyes. “You’re a selfish asshole”
“Okay then” He threw his hands in the air and then turned around. “Good night, Demetria. Have fun with your treadmill” He said and then walked away.
Demi rolled his eyes and then went to the bathroom where she took a shower. She put on her pajamas and walked towards her room. She knew that Wilmer was now in the guests room because she had heard him placing his suitcase there.
She lay down on the bed, ready to sleep.
But, soon, she found herself not being able to sleep since she couldn’t stop thinking about Wilmer. She realised that he was right and that she had also missed him.
And then she heard the rain pouring on the roof. Later, it started to storm and she got scared. Storms always frightened her.
And Wilmer knew that better than anyone.
“Poor thing… She might be terrified” He mumbled to himself and ended up getting up from the bed and walking towards the main bedroom where Demi was.
She had curled up in a ball.
He crawled on top of the bed and, soon, his arms were tightly wrapped around her. She was crying.
“Wilmer, I’m so sorry” She cried, resting her head on his chest as he placed some kisses on top of her head. “It’s okay, baby. I love you” He whispered and made her lay down., still with his strong arms wrapped around her.
“Why did you come to hold me?” She asked, playing with Wilmer’s necklace.
“I know how scared you are of storms, hermosa” He told her. She looked up at him and gave him a smile even though he couldn’t see it because there was no light.
“I promise you that tomorrow we’ll have fun together. I won’t work out tomorrow, okay?” She said. He smiled and kissed her lips. “Okay, nena”
“Now, hold me tighter because this storm is scaring the fuck out of me” She giggled, making him giggle too as he brought her as close as possible.
