I've had just about enough of Anna's behavior. She had been going on random dates even when everyone who's anyone clearly knows we're in a relationship. She's refused to speak to me of late and anytime I try to initiate a conversation, she's always succeeded in putting me off.I just can't feel anything genuine anymore. Her random hook-ups and constant habit of always leaving me in the dark got me angry but not just enough.
I decided to sort things out between us. I probably might have offended her unknowingly and I wanted to nip the problem in the bud with immediate alacrity. I spoke to her over the phone and we both agreed to meet at "O jellos' " , the massive restaurant which had just opened across the street at exactly 8:30pm. I had already met with the management and hired a little musical band. I just planned to apologise first even though I still wasn't sure what I had done and I wanted it as romantic as possible.
I had taken a visit to the florist's to get her some roses just before the big date. I wore a jean and the new denim jacket i got from the store a week ago. It all had to be perfect.
I got to the restaurant exactly 8:15pm trying to be a gentleman. I sat down ordered a glass of wine whilst waiting for Anna. Thirty minutes passed, still no Anna. An hour passed, I decided to wait a little longer. I glanced at the band and they gave me that look that screamed "what's wrong...Is everything okay"?. Two hours and it dawned on me she stood me up on this one.
She showed up at my place the next morning and she didn't even seem remorse. All she said was "can I talk to you". I nodded and let her in. I was so mad but I tried my best to keep a clear head. She stared at me for minutes before finally deciding to say something. She looked up at me and said.."you know, it's all your fault". I was shocked, she couldn't even tender an apology. I couldn't take it anymore, I went over to my room and still saw the roses on my bed. I got even angrier but didn't want to say anything harsh.
I picked up my jacket and walked back out, she was still staring. I walked to the door swiftly and turned the knob and just before I stepped out her last words were. "Are you actually serious...where are you going?"
