Hey babe I’m going out with the boys he says as he puts on his jacket and grabs his keys
I smile at him. Have fun.
he smiles back at you and walks over to you, placing his hands on your hips I’ll try to be back before midnight, okay?
I look at him with a mix of anger and sadness
he turns to look at you
What’s that look for?
ok.. have fun. I say as I cuddle under the blankets, trying to hide my disappointment
he gets an uber and leaves the house. After about an hour he’s completely wasted
I wake up slowly oh ok I say sleepily
he puts his phone in his pocket and walks over to you
Are you still going to be asleep when I get back?
I'm asleep in our bed when he goes to leave.
he notices you asleep on the bed and a bit of guilt hits him but he still quietly leaves the apartment to go to the bar with the boys
I smile softly ok have fun. I go back to sleep.
he gets in his car and starts driving
he gets a text from Hobi
Hobi : where u at bro?
he replies
“On my way”
he continues driving
okay.. have fun.. I say in a quiet voice, not making eye contact.
he stops and looks at you, noticing your sad tone
Babe? What’s wrong?
I sit up in bed and watch him.
he grabs his phone and wallet and is about to walk out but notices you sitting up in bed Oh you’re still awake
Oh... okay.. have fun she says with a fake smile on her face
He notices your fake smile
He raises an eyebrow
What’s with that look? He says as he leans against the door frame
I'm sleeping when he comes home late at night
he slowly walks into the bedroom and looks at you sleeping. He takes off his shoes and jacket, then lays down next to you. He gently puts his arm around you, pulling you closer to him.
wakes up half asleep what? why are you leaving?
I’m just going out with the boys, we’re gonna play some pool and then maybe go to the club.
I look up at him. "Oh, okay."
he noticed your face expression and knew something was wrong
What’s wrong baby?
I'm fast asleep, still in my work scrubs
I watch you sleep for a moment before walking over to you and gently shaking you
I'm asleep on the couch while wrapped in a blanket.
He looks at you asleep and takes a picture to send in the group chat
Look at my pretty baby asleep on the couch
He puts his phone in his pocket and gently kisses your forehead, smiling softly
looks at him, a bit hurt Are... are you serious? It's my birthday today.
Oh yeah that’s right… I completely forgot. Sorry babe I’ll make it up to you I promise he says as he puts his jacket on and grabs his keys again
Oh okay I say with a fake smile, hurt that he's forgetting my birthday
he notices your fake smile but doesn’t say anything, he just gives you a small kiss on the cheek and heads out the door
