Eliza POV
8:23pm
Right now me and my son, Philip, are hiding...No nothing bad is happening to us, but Philip's favourite person in the world is about to return home so being childlike we both hide beside one of the sofas, just waiting for him to get home.
We hear the door start to creak open, and then it shut with a "I'm home, now wheres my two favourite people?" He say, waiting for Philip to come attack him, but he doesn't. He looks around the room, when he spots Philip's fluffy curly hair from the side of the sofa, and I already know he can see me so I just crack a smile and then he says something that makes Philip snap "well I guess they've both left me forever, I might as well just go back to work now"
"Daddy w-wait!" Shouted philip as he clambered over my legs to run to his dad, hugging his legs and says something that I can relate to "don't l-l-leave u-us ever pwlease"
"I promise I won't be leaving you, or your mother ever, okay?" He said as he helped me get up.
"I missed you today..." I exclaimed whilst hugging Alex's torso and breathing in his scent.
"I missed you too, and I missed my favourite son as well" he said lifting my head up, and then messing up Philip's hair a bit. "Well should we go eat?" He asked giving me a quick peck on the lips.
"Yeah I-im star-vi-ng" said Philip as he started to run to the table and climbing up onto his chair. We both just stood there and chuckled.
*AFTER THEY ATE BECAUSE I'M LAZY LIKE THAT*
Alex has just put Philip to bed whilst I was tidying up from our mess, and when I finally go upstairs into mine and Alex's room, I wasn't shocked when I saw Alex not in there, so I got changed and went to go see what he was doing.
As I knock onto his door, he doesn't do his usual thing and comes to see me at the door, he just tells me to come in 'maybe he doesn't like me as much anymore...' I push that thought out of my head as I open up the door and head over to his desk to see what he's doing, and it's the same as usual, he's writing but I still ask him "what you doing?"
"I'm just finishing this story for these orphans, it'll take me a while so please go to sleep..." Alexander stated, but he only looked at me at the end 'Has he lost feelings?' I push this thought out of my head as well because he's and honest man, he wouldn't want to do that to me or my son either, god I hope not.
"Okay, see you in the morning I guess" I say looking down at the floor and fiddling with my sleeves.
"Hey, Eliza..." I dont say anything I just look up at him. "Remember I love you" I just act like an idiot and nod my head instead of saying anything back.
I get back to our room and I just start crying, the tears wouldn't stop. What if he was cheating on me? I wouldn't know because he's so good and hiding things... thoughts just race around my mind until I get a message from someone...a random number, just great. I decide to look at the message
10:53PM
UNKNOWN:U: He doesn't really love you, it's all just a show and you'll understand that soon, have fun with your man whore:) x
This message was no help to the situation... did they know something I didn't? How would they know? This just made me want to die...why would he cheat on me? I felt so distant from him half the time so maybe he was cheating on me. I wipe my tears from my eyes, grab my phone and sat outside his office door, just waiting for him to come out
12:48PM
I couldn't stay awake any longer but I wanted to speak to him, hopefully he won't be so lo- I was interrupted by his office door opening, so I quickly stand up so he knows that I'm here. " what are you doing up so late for Eliza?" He asked, but it kinda sounded like he didn't want me to be there."I got lonely so I sat outside so I wouldn't interrupt your work..." I say looking down too the floor but then I look up and smile whilst tears are falling down my face "but your here now so it's o-okay"
Alex then pulled me into a hug, stroking my hair to calm me down and then he lifted up my head and asked me "what's wrong Eliza? you can tell me anything you know..."
"Do you still love me?" I blurted out, not wanting to say it in the first place, I just wanted him to believe that I was okay.
"Of course I do eliza, i can still remember the first time we met just like it was yesterday, So of course I do" he said in a kinda annoyed tone, at least that's what it sounded like to me, so I just nod my head and start walking to our room, him following behind me.
*The next morning*
I woke up how I usually did, and that was to my three year old son poking at my cheeks to make me wake up. But something felt different about this morning, and that different thing was that Alex was still in bed. He was normally either at work or in his study writing, so I ushered my son out of my room to that he wouldnt wake up his father because he's been working hard lately and he needed this sleep.
Philip ran down the stairs into his chair because he knew that today was the day that we had pancakes for breakfast. I was feeling a bit tired today so I grabbed a shake up pancake mix because I could tell that Philip was hyper and it would calm him down for a little while.
*After the pancakes are made because I'm lazy*
Alex still wasnt downstairs and Philip was happily eating his pancakes so I went upstairs to see if Alex was still in bed, and he wasnt...
I already knew where he was so I went off to the study and just opened the door to see Alex sat at his desk and he obviously heard me coming in because he started to face the same direction that I was and all I said was "Theres pancakes downstairs"
"I'll be down in a minute let me just finish this paragraph quickly, okay" He said with a smile and I just nodded because I could hear the thoughts coming through my head and I just turn on my heels and leave the room to sit with my son.
