'Poll, he's getting out of control' I say lighting my fag
'Tell me about it, getting sick and tired of it' Polly says
'He's been coming home from work late every night for the past two weeks. He won't even acknowledge me at home; if he does, then it's something short like yeah or no. It's like those two words are the only words he knows how to say I'm getting bored of it' I say
'Have you spoken to him about it?' Polly says
'I've tried to but he won't have any of it. The only thing he'll say is that I'm overthinking' I say taking a draw of my fag
'I've been close to kicking him out a couple of times to be fair' I say
'Well, he won't be getting in this house if he's treating a woman like that' Polly says
Micheal and the boys walk into Polly's sitting room making me roll my eyes
Micheal notices me rolling my eyes making him glare at me but it doesn't faze me so I just stare right back at him.
'Issue Micheal?' I say
'I'm perfectly fine' Micheal says
'Why did you have the face of a slapped arse then? Certainly seems like you have an issue to me' I say taking a draw of my fag
'Just shut up' Micheal says
'Anyway, I have places to be so if you'll excuse me' I say and walk past Micheal and flip my hair off my shoulder
'She's feisty, I like it' Arthur says making me smirk
'Shut up Arthur' Micheal says and I walk out of Polly's house knowing my plan's working
I get in my car and drive off to my office where I get to be myself. Since Micheal and I started arguing more often the office is where I can get a break. I know you're probably wondering if it's an office which means work. It's not just an office you see, it's my model agency so it's not that bad.
Growing up I struggled with my appearance, I was on the chubby side so naturally it attracted bullying, I got bullied badly up until I had enough and hit the girls that were taking the piss out of me. Of course, I got punished which resulted in me getting kicked out permanently and they got off scot-free. I was 15 when I decided to get my shit together and I started going to the gym and lost all the weight and started my model agency.
Micheal and I met when I went out clubbing with my best mates and since then we've been together. But as you can tell our relationship hasn't been the best lately, he's been spending most of his time at his office and staying out until the early hours of the morning and we don't speak in the morning because either one of us is already at work. I miss him but I ain't dealing with it anymore, it's draining the fuck out of me. I've tried speaking to Micheal about how I'm feeling but he doesn't have any of it
I get to my office and grab my purse before getting out of the car. I walk into the office and I get welcomed in by my secretary Tracy
'Good Afternoon, Mrs Gray' Tracy says
'Tracy, I'm not sure if Micheal's proposing at all, especially with the number of times we argue so just call me Sabrina' I say smiling
'I'm just heading up to my office to send out some emails to the job applications' I say
'Alright Sabrina, if anything comes through I'll phone' Tracy says
We bid our goodbyes and I take the lift to my office. I open my phone to see 3 missed calls from Polly. I go onto my contacts and phone Polly back, the phone rings 4 times before Polly picks up
'Everything alright Poll? I missed calls from you' I say
'It was just to say that Micheal's just blown up. He said something about you not understanding how he's feeling' Polly says making me roll my eyes
'Poll, get one of the boys to take him over to my office. I'll speak to him' I say
'Alright, Oi Tom take Micheal to Sabrina's office' Polly says
'Tom's just heading now. They won't be long love' Polly says
'Alright, bye Poll' I say as I walk out of the lift
Polly hangs up and I head straight to my office passing some of my workers discussing the dates of the next shoot.
I walk into my office and sit down on my chair letting out a breath before opening up my laptop and going onto my emails to see about 50 application forms
'This is going to take ages' I whisper to myself
5 emails in and Micheal barges into my office giving me a fright
'Rip my door off the hinges then why don't you' I say
'Please don't start' Micheal says sitting down
'Micheal, I've given you chance after chance to tell me how you're feeling but you never listen! How long are we going to do this before we both give up on this relationship because I tell you right fucking now I'm close to leaving you' I say making Micheal whip his head up to look at me
'You can't leave me' Micheal says
'Says who? Certainly not you' I say sending the email
'Please, I can't function with you' Micheal says making me sigh and close my laptop
'Micheal fucking act like it, I'm sick and tired of going to bed and waking up alone, having breakfast, lunch and dinner alone and just feeling like I'm the only one in this relationship. The communication needs to improve from both of us' I say
'Yeah, I know and I'm sorry for not being there for you and coming home in the early hours of the morning' Micheal says
'Just stop, please' I say getting up and going to Micheal
'I miss my boyfriend' I say quietly sitting on Micheal's lap
'Look how about I take you out tonight' Micheal says
'Alright, where should we go?' I say curiously
'Let's go to that new restaurant that just opened' Micheal says
'That place is awfully expensive' I say
'Good thing, I get paid really good then' Micheal says
'Also, since when did you dress this classy?' Micheal says
'I wanted to change my style up a bit so I went shopping with Polly and Ada and got a whole new wardrobe' I say
'I like this new style keep it like this' Micheal says
