“No, no. You don’t get to just walk away from me, you selfish asshole. Tell me where you were?” She screamed out. Not that she actually wanted an answer, she just had to project her frustration in some way.
It’s true though, all night I hadn’t been answering my phone, and I did leave early from work, and now, here she was. She found me at my favorite bar, dragged me out side to start an argument right on the sidewalk. I understood that she was angry because she cared, and that in the past, yeah we had fights like this before, about how I would disappear for a day or so, only to show up in the morning looking like hell, with sad regretful eyes.
But tonight, at this point I just wanted to go home, get some sleep, because, and she didn’t know this, I had been out with my brother looking at engagement rings all day. If you’ve never done it before I’ll say that it’s a pretty stressful process, and afterword I just needed a drink. So, anyways I went back inside, and closed my bartab and just said, “Lets go,”
We went home, the cab ride was the worst, because I wanted to tell her, but I wanted to wait.
I slept on the couch that night, but in the morning she was picking up around the apartment, and she looked into my jacket pocket and found the ring. She woke me up, she was in tears. We made love. Everything’s fine.
