Olivia, is something wrong? You don't behave like this usually, Leon said looking at me with a look I couldn't decipher.
Nothing's wrong, I just don't feel like going out. Okay then, we can do a lot of things at home too like…..Leon please stop I don't feel like doing anything, I just want to be alone
I could tell he was hurt by my actions but it wasn't my fault either, I was just in a bad mood.
Olivia, did I do something wrong? Leon, you didn't do anything I am not just in the mood for this, we can do it every other day.
Also I have to work, I signed a contract yesterday and I already got the half payment so I can't quit.
Okay I understand, I just wanted to do something that will lighten your mood. Leon, I….no you don't have to explain, I understand.
I'm sorry Leon, I promise we will do everything tomorrow. I just remembered, I have somewhere to be, I will be back in a few hours, Leon said and dashed off
I felt bad knowing why he behaved that way. But the stress of work and media is no joke at all, I am trying my possible best to keep it together.
I also wasn't used to having Leon around this much, he often travels and his trips may take up to months.
The recent one he went was three month, I understand that it was the nature of his job but I still couldn't help but yearn for him, we rarely spend time together
I was about to go to bed when Leon arrived. He looked like he had been drinking. Olivia, you are still awake? I was just about to sleep I said drawing up the bed spread.
He went to shower and I tried to sleep but couldn't fall asleep. He joined me a few minutes later
His hand snaked around my waist. Are you awake? Yeah. He pressed his lips on my neck and I bit my lips stifling a moan.
But I quickly regained my senses and shifted away from him.
Olivia, what's wrong? Nothing I just...I am sleepy. Olivia, is it because…..I left for three months?
Leon, you left me alone for three months and only called me once a month, does that make any sense?
Also do you know how long it is since we slept together on the same bed? It's been five months.
Olivia, but you know it's the nature of my job. Yeah I know, and I understand as well. I am saying this not because I am mad at you, I just felt like letting you know.
How can I make it up to you? He said pleadingly. Leon, I already said I am not mad at you, I am serious.
Olivia I….you don't have to explain I already understand.
Do you even remember our wedding anniversary was yesterday? His eyes widened in surprise.
Olivia I…..I'm sorry, he said looking down apologetically. My eyes welled up. Leon we've been married for years now and I…..forget it, goodnight, I said turning away from him as more tears streamed down my face.
Olivia I am….don't apologize it's fine I really aren't mad at you I just feel kind of…..I sighed knowing I was deceiving myself.
Olivia how can I make it up to you? I don't want anything Leon please, I said as more tears ran down my face.
