l held her fragile body in my hands. I carried her and deposited her back on the bed, she cried a lot today, I never knew things were that hard for her. All I wanted to do was make her happy. Give her all she wanted in the world. All I wanted to do was to give her what she never had in life…. A good house to live in, good food, expensive clothes, shoes, in all, I wanted her to have all the good things of life.
Six years! Six fucking years!. I worked hard to build what I had today for us and our unborn children.
"Ring Ring" …. My phone kept on ringing. I fished it out of my pocket. I read the caller ID. It was Robin. I took a few steps away from the bed and hit the answer button.
"Yeah?". I said with a sigh. I really wasn'tin the mood to talk to anyone, except Dani.
"Dude…. I've been calling you, didn't you see my…" I cut him off.
"Look Robinson… I can't talk right now, she's asleep and…" I said tired, while putting my hand on my temple. I sat on the sofa closest to me, and stared at her sleeping body.
"I know man. She fainted earlier, she didn't even notice my presence. How is she doing?". He asked, concern in his voice.
I heaved, and rubbed my jaw. "I fucked up man, big time. I just wanted to make her happy. That all. But, I succeeded in failing. I don't…". Robin cut me off immediately.
"Hey… don't be too hard on yourself. You kept an eye on her for years, you worked very hard to get to where you are. You both just need to talk it out." He said.
"That's the problem. She doesn't want to listen to what I have to say". I said getting up from the sofa, walking to the side table and pouring myself a glass of whiskey.
"She would, Noah. Give her time and space. You do know that you can't keep her with you if she wants to leave, I mean, you both aren't married any…" I cut him off quickly.
"Don't test me this night Robin. She's mine! ONLY MINE!. We would always be married till death do us part!. I'll her forgive me". I said with anger. Gulping down the glass of whiskey at once.
"Calm down Noah. She's pissed at you, hell, she might never forgive you Noah!. Well, all I would say is good luck, because you are gonna need a lot of it." He said.
I rolled my eyes, and put the glass down on the table.
"I'll like to see her tomorrow". He said sighing. He knows I always do what I want, and I never listen to anyone once I'm committed to something.
"I think it would be better to hold on for now, she's not ready for that right now. I'll tell you when she's ready. I'll talk to you tomorrow". I said rubbing my temple.
"Okay then, if you say so. All I ask is that, you give her space and time bro. Don't rush her". He said
"I've heard you. Goodnight". I said.
"Yeah bro. Night". He said and hung up.
I put my phone down on the side table. I walked to the bed that she laid on, I got in bed with her. She had changed so much. She looked thinner, paler but she still looked beautiful. All she need was my care, and love once more.
I kissed her forehead, and her dry lips. I wanted more than that kiss, but I had to be patient. No one is going to take her away from me. She's mine. Only mine.
