Marie's pov~


From then on after I made that scene. I couldn't tell him how I really felt. My mind was a mess right now, I just needed time to think.


And during the next week, I did just that. I know I was hurting him by doing this. I felt like we were going back to the old days. And then reality hit. And I couldn't help to think of what he did wrong. It scared me to think of what all he had done, felt like it was all being erased.

Slowly slipping away from both our memories. It became like we were actually living as a married couple. And that's what stopped me in my tracks so to speak. We had an daily routine.

Him helping me along, he treated me like I was something so precious. Very much more than a friend would. It made me wonder did he ever think of me as a friend. Or was it something that happened within our friendship.

I wanted to call my parents or a friend to be away from him for good. But when I picked up my phone, I always seem to put it away after, I'd change my mind. I hate when I'm being so indecisive.

I'm getting pampered in a sense but pretending to be in a happy relationship. It seemed to spark true when we're out together. All the time others would say. What a nice looking couple from those nice elderly people. It made my heart hurt that much more.

Did I feel this way because it wasn't true ?

I felt like I was on borrowed time like once I let her go. That I'll never see her again, she'll just vanish from my life for good. But of course I wasn't ready to let go. I couldn't apologize enough, would do so, show her that I really love her. It was a mistake to go about it in that way. So I wanted to make her happy when I suggested...

" Marie, how about we host an dinner for your parents, sister to come over on Sunday. And I could help you make that macaroni and cheese that you cook so well, " I announced one night as we were getting ready for bed.

" Really ?! Everyone's been so busy. I would love that, " her face lit up as she spoke.

Sunday night


After seeing her all smiles as she prepared, cooked the delicious dinner she made for us, her family. And I helped with every detail which was being there when she needed my help lifting and carrying something to the oven, stove and table.

The table was set with every lavish setting known to man.


" Do you think this is too much ? Because I know my family doesn't go all out like this for our Sunday dinners. It's just the family, my parents and my sister and I. The table and of course the food, " she said taking a seat on a stool by the bar.

" No I think it's great, if you're happy then I'm happy Marie. Truly, " I told her truthfully as I took a seat on another bar stool.

And if it was exactly on time, the door bell rung.

" I'll get it, " I announced, went to opening the door, her family stood there, I wished there were my family but not for long.

" Come on in, " I told everyone, moved aside to let everyone by, once they were all in. I closed the door.

...................

Dinner went surprisingly well, other than the awkward questions and a few moments, it was otherwise prefect. And it was perfect because Marie seemed to be almost like her old self.

For days now, I didn't know what I would've done after the whole movie fiasco. It wasn't a yelling match but after all the crying she did then came silence. It's the whole reason why I suggested this.

If ? There's a whole of them, I can't seem to stop thinking of them. I wish we like an normal couple, we were married for love. I love her but I know about her. But she did care for me as a friend but I went, messed that up.

Oh god. If you can hear me. Please let this woman stay with me always. Because I don't want there to be an end to us.





















Well one more to go. Sorry for such a short chapter and the errors.
