When you can't control what's happening, challenge your self to control the way you respond to what's happening that's where your real power is.
But in my case, I've never felt so powerless. Like I don't even have a say in my life. Like I can't even decide if i should breathe or not.
It felt like hours that we've all been staring at her like she had grown two heads. Why would she even suggest to do something like this.
Mason finally broke the silence by speaking up.
"Are you out of your mind.? No you are not an option"
He firmly spoke
"Why not.? I'm trust worthy and you've known me for years so it's not like I'm a stranger to you"
She matched his tone. Something makes me feel like there's a double meaning to it.
They engage in a stare off as if silently communicating with each other.
What is wrong with these two.
"Racheal, I appreciate the help but I'll have to discuss this with Mason first. Thank you for offering though" I spoke breaking their stare off
With a final glance to me she relaxed and said
"Of course. You are my best friend. I'd love to do this for you. Just consider it. I'm your best option and I'm not in a relationship now so I'd love to help you"
"I understand. Thank you"
*****************
"I said no. Racheal isn't going to be our surrogate I won't allow it "
Mason spoke while removing his tie and tossing it lazily on the floor.
We were currently in our bedroom back home from the party. The tension in the air was to thick and the arguments were never ending.
"Please mason. She's my best friend and she really wants to help. I've known her since-"
" you don't know her Hope!!! You really don't." He interrupted me
"And what's that supposed to mean Mason"
Silence
"Is there something you have to tell me. What's been going on"
I pressed.
"Nothing. I don't want to talk about it. My decision is final and it a NO!!"
He yelled at me.
He yelled at me
He freaking yelled at me.
He's never done that. But today he did
"And my decision is also final and I said she will"
I spoke. It's high time I started standing up for my self. Enough with people making decisions about my life on my behalf. It's time to own it
"Don't test me Hope"
He spoke in a dark malicious voice that I've never heard him use on me.
He's body was visibly shaking with anger and I knew better than to push him past his limits now.
The sound of the door slamming broke me out of my trance.
He left
He fucking left.
He'll be back. He just needs some time to cool off
***************
He didn't comeback.
As a matter of fact he didn't just leave the room he left the house. He didn't sleep in last night. He's never done that unless he out on a business trip.
Ever since I got to work I've been calling him and texting him none stop.
I couldn't concentrate at work not when I knew my husband was out and angry with me.
I decided to call Mia.
She picked up at the second ring
"Hope? What's up"
"Hi Um sorry if I'm interrupting anything it's just that I got into an argument with Mason last night and he kinda left the house and I haven't heard from him since. I just wanted to know if he cane to you or something"
"Was it about the whole thing at dinner last night.?"
"Yes it was. He's still not open to the idea of Racheal and I just want to give it a shot. I can't have him loose what he's worked for because of me. I won't be able to live with my self."
"I'm so sorry that happened. I swear I didn't know she was going to do that. But no, I haven't heard from him but I'll try and call him and let you know if he picks up"
"Uh thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Bye"
"Of course. Bye"
I sighed ending the call. Where could my husband be. Oh he's so gonna get and earful from me after this.
Should I call Racheal? Maybe I should. She picked up after a while.
"Hey Hope. What's up"
Her voice sounded nervous. She sounded like she was moving around. Probably in her house.
"I'm good actually it's just that. Mason and I got into an argument last night about the whole thing and I haven't seen him since. And I figured since you guys have been quite close lately you might know where he is"
There was some more shuffling in the back ground and then a faint male voice.
Who could that be. She live alone and last night she said she wasn't seeing anyone so. Who's that.
I decided to ask.
"Are you...... home alone"
"Uh.... yeah yeah I am." She stuttered
"And no I haven't seen him yet. But if I do I'll let you know and don't worry about him. He'll come around to the idea sooner than you expect."
She said the last part with so much confidence. As if she knew he would later on agree. I just decided to play it cool and we ended the call
After a longggg day at work, I decided to call it a day since I couldn't get much done cause my mind was elsewhere thinking about my husband.
When I got home I was met with a dar silhouette in the leaving room.
I was bout to panick until I looked a little closer.
"Mason?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you haven't noticed. I hate writing conversations. Ugh they suck. I'd rather be explain it from her point of view but I know I can't avoid it forever
Soooo what did you think
Until next time
