Kaitlyn's Candy Of Love

#2

SID

For the first time in days, no, months I reached home early after work. But of course Kaitlyn hadn't reached yet. This is what I don't like about her job. We argue over our careers many times. According to her, I am a busy businessman who leaves early in the morning and comes home late at night. It is actually true but I alone cannot be blamed. She is almost never at home because of her travels. Because of our work we never get to see each other and it is starting to affect our relationship gravely.

I still remember that at first, it was all magical. We couldn't take our eyes off each other. But slowly the magic started to fade. And I personally think that now, the magic has fully gone.

We argue so much that its been day since we have kissed. The argument becomes heated very fast due to her 'special' talent to argue and defend herself. Usually it ends with one of us leaving the house but not after banging the door at utmost volume.

The door opened and in entered Kaitlyn. Even though we argue and fight, for some reason I still love her as much as before. For me she's still the most beautiful woman in the world.

She saw me and showed a faint smile. Must be tired. I got up and hugged her from behind. I expected her to hug me back or something but she just stayed still and stared at me continuously.

"What?" I asked.

"Its been long since you did this." she replied.

True, its been long since I did this but maybe I had wanted to heal the cracks in our relationship.

"So? Can't I do this now? Or is there some rule that says that we can't do anything for the first time."That was rude but the damage had already been done.

"Why are you being rude? I just asked right? I can't even ask something to you?"

"I never said that but you could have asked it more softly."

She didn't say anything. Must have been really tired. I felt bad but my ego was too big to say sorry. She pulled back and went to the bedroom. Without changing her uniform she just flopped on the bed. I had no plans to sleep with her there that day so I slept on the couch.

Next morning I woke up late. I heard sounds coming from the kitchen. I went there and found Kaitlyn struggling to cook. One thing to know about her is that she doesn't know how to cook. She always eats those airplane meals and when at home, I cook for her. I took the spatula from her hand and gently pushed her aside. She didn't say anything and watched me cook. Another thing I have noticed is that she always watches me cook. At first I used to teach her too while cooking.

Three months after we started dating, we had a food fight while I was teaching her. It was a complete mess and we had lots of fun. We were fully covered in turmeric powder, chilli powder, flour, rice powder, wheat powder and what not. After that I went to the shower. Later there was a knock on the bathroom door. "May I come in, Sir?" she asked. I had not locked the door so she barged right in. She was a mess. She was my beautiful mess. She kissed me there and I kissed her back as she looked extra cute covered in those foods. That was the first time we made love in the shower.

I came back to the present and instinctively looked at her. She was looking down but somehow she looked cuter than ever. I wanted to kiss her but I hesitated. If it was a few months back I would've definitely done that. Maybe that's the difference between then and now.

The silence was deafening. I couldn't bear to see my talkative Kaitlyn like that. I ignored my ego and said sorry.

"I'm sorry too." she said.

I opened my arms to signal a hug. She hugged me back but I could feel the lack of enthusiasm. Will we ever be how we were before? I just sighed at what we have become now.
