If you all say that married life is easy and will be fun, well.. the truth is not that fun. It gets more difficult everyday and it has a lot of ups and downs. Like now, even though I'm married, some girls still don't know how to get that fact inside their head that I'm not available anymore.
Yesterday, when I was showering, Athena saw a text from a woman that I'm currently having a deal with. She was so upset and she's been ignoring me for 2 days. She doesn't even sleep in our bedroom, she sleeps in the guest room. It broke my heart and every time I wanted to talk to her, she just avoided me.
Today, I went home early after my work and walked to the kitchen to get water. The maid came out asking if I need anything and I just asked her where Athena is. She said that Athena's currently in the theater room.
I walked upstairs towards the theater room and heard Athena sobbing. My heart hurts hearing her crying because of me. It was like someone trying to rip off my body. I knocked a few times and I walked in. Athena looked at me coldly as she wiped her tears.
"Hey." I said as I slowly walked to her. I thank God because she's not trying to avoid me or anything. I kneeled in front of her and she just looked away avoiding my eye contact.
"I vowed to you that I will faithful to you and will always tell you the truth, Athena. Everything you see and everything that you think I did behind you, that's not true." I said and she slowly turned her head to me.
"I have you and why would I want any other woman when you're the most wonderful that walked into my life?" I added and she cried. I wiped her tears and hugged her. She cried her eyes out and I hugged her tightly.
"Please believe me, I would never cheat on you. She was just trying to set me up and I never sign the contract or see her again." I said.
"Don't be sad like this, I'm yours forever yours.. no one will take me away from you." I said and she nodded.
"I thought.. I thought.. She was texting you that.. she missed you and how you always are on her side.." She said while sobbing.
"Athena, that's silly. You can check all the security cameras and you obviously know that I am always on your side every night." I said.
"But you.. you often go abroad without me."
"Baby, I never go abroad alone. I am always with your brother or someone from the Gold Lifes. Why would I cheat on you? That's ridiculous." I said and she looked at me biting her lips.
"I hate you. I can't imagine being alone without you and then you.. leave me for someone else." She said as she smacked my chest.
"I love you so much, Athena. Besides, before you even get mad at me for cheating, I will die in your parents' hands." I chuckled and she smacked me harder.
"You need to trust me honey, I didn't do it." I said and she buried her face to my chest.
"I started to think of you being with other girls, I can't even imagine it. You.. Ugh!! I hate you!!" She smacked my chest again and again.
"I'm so sorry baby, you should have let me explain." I said and she started to calm down a little. I turned to see the movie that she's currently watching, the Crazy Rich Asians movie. She loves it and already watched it a few times.
I let her calm herself and I kissed her forehead. She started to hold my hand and I smiled.
"I want cheesecake." She said and I checked the time.
"Let's go for dinner, I'll buy you a thousand cheesecakes later on." I said and she turned to me.
"My eyes are puffy and I don't want to go out." She said pouting and I chuckled.
"You always look beautiful, love." I said as I kissed her eyes. She glared at me and pouted. She took her phone and called our favorite pizza place. She bought 2 big pizzas and then she ordered a cheesecake from her favorite cake shop. She's unbelievable.
"So you're still not forgiving me?" I asked.
"If you bare with me watching high school musicals 1, 2 and 3 along with this movie again. Then maybe I'll forgive you." She said in a feisty tone.
"Well.. deal. Let me shower first and then I'll come back again." I said and she nodded. I walked out from the theater room to our room. I took a shower real quick and changed into my comfy hoodie and sweatpants. I walked back to the theater but Athena is nowhere to be found.
"Baby? Athena?" I called a few times and suddenly I felt her back hugging me.
"I'm sorry too." She said in a small tone. I turned to her and crashed my lips to her right away.
"You know.. I love you, you silly girl." I kissed her nose and she pouted.
"You better watch 4 movies with me or else.. I won't talk to you for another 2 days." She hissed and then she sat on the sofa. I chuckled, nodded and sat beside her. She slipped her arm to mine and leaned her head.
The pizza came along with the cheesecake. She sat down on the ground and put everything on the table. She savagely eat the cheesecake with a fork.
"I know you're judging me back there!" She hissed and I laughed.
"Babe.. I didn't even say anything." I said as I sat on the ground beside her while watching Troy Bolton singing with that Gabriella.. girl.
I saw Athena scooped her cheesecake and I stole it from her. She glared at me hard and she took the fork from my mouth.
"You're making me more pissed."
"Sorry baby.. I'm just hungry." I said and she pointed at the pizza. I opened the box and as usual.. she ordered my favorite.
"Eat that.. don't even try to steal what's mine or I will kick you out from the room." She hissed and I know the fact that she's not mad at me anymore. So.. not every relationship is perfect. We all have our ups and downs too.
