Chereads / I Actually Love My Wife / Chapter 3 - A bad turn

Chapter 3 - A bad turn

Its morning, I fell heavily on the floor. The fight had taken all the energy 

out of both me and Aurora and that's why neither of us really knew what 

we were doing any longer. I looked up at the ceiling after Aurora kicked 

me out of the bed. I was still fully awake and just laying on the floor now. I 

looked at Aurora who was screaming and trying to get out of the mess 

she caused once again. With all the energy, I had left, I looked at Aurora 

and said: "Well done Aurora. Once again, you destroyed everything. " „ Shut up, why were we sleeping like that... Bruhhhhh i don't remember 

falling asleep..." 

I continued "I know Aurora, we had a new wedding fight and you were 

probably trying to strangle me somehow again, but luckily, you fell asleep.. 

In my arms ." As I spoke, Aurora didn't say anything, she just looked at 

me and nodded. In that moment I realized, that she was just as exhausted 

as me and it was all we needed to calm down... 

At the sound of the knock, both Aurora and I became silent immediately 

and we looked at each other. At that moment we both knew, that we had 

to pretend, that we were sleeping. If our parents would find out, what we 

had done before, they would be furious. That's why we both lay down on 

the bed again and tried to pretend, as if nothing happened. We lay there 

together close to each other, while our mothers voice came through the 

door. Aurora and I looked at each other and tried to look sleepy and 

innocent... 

Aurora's mother just stood there looking at us laying in bed. Aurora 

knew, that in that moment, she thought that we were just making out or 

being intimate. As Aurora's mother looked at us, she started smiling 

before she spoke „oh my... I uh... I guess you had a lot of fun this night..". 

She turned around to leave, while Aurora and I still lay in bed. We both 

knew, that our acting was working, because she didn't say anything else. 

She thought that Aurora and I spent the whole night together and that 

we just felt asleep after. Aurora looked at me and gave me a smug grin... 

. She whispers to me " I cant wait to beat you up again" 

At that moment, I couldn't help myself but return Aurora's smug grin. I 

knew, that there was no other option for me, than to start another fight 

with Aurora. I wasn't going to let her have one more little moment of 

happiness. That's why, as I still lay in bed, I turned towards Aurora and 

looked her in the eyes. I smiled slightly and said: "Oh, you want to destroy 

the bed again? Sure, we can do that..." 

I hadn't even thought about people overhearing our words now. I just 

wanted to start a fight with Aurora and I didn't think any further. As the 

maids and servants brought in our breakfast, they could overhear our 

words. After they heard that Aurora and I were going to destroy the bed, 

they understood it different than we meant it. As they brought the 

breakfast, they looked at us and blushed. I immediately saw the problem 

once I realized, how they understood it... 

Aurora and I sat at the table, together with the other guests. The guests 

were mostly members of my and Aurora's family. Aurora and I looked as 

if everything was fine between us, but in reality, I was hurting Aurora 

and Aurora was hurting me. From time to time, we gave little pinches and 

pokes to each other, that nobody else saw, just to remind ourselves, that 

we were actually trying to strangle each other in our sleep earlier.... 

As the meal went on, we would constantly pinch each other whenever 

nobody was watching. That's why we both had a few bruises all over our 

body. Even though both of us tried to stay calm, the fight couldn't stop. 

Even in front of our families, Aurora and I tried to hurt each other 

whenever nobody was looking. And it seemed to be a good plan, because 

nobody suspected anything. All our parents thought, that Aurora and I 

were just having fun and being close together, because they didn't see the 

pinches and scratches... 

After the meal, we had to say goodbye to the guests that had already left 

and the others that were staying overnight. Aurora and I had to say 

goodbye to both our parents too. Both Aurora and I were just pretending, 

so everyone thought, that we were both happy about the wedding. In 

reality, we both just pretended, because we couldn't stand the sight of 

each other. As we finally saw each other alone, without anyone else 

around, we immediately started to hurt each other again... 

Aurora and I had just been at our parents place for at least six hours and 

we felt exhausted. The only thing we wanted now was to fight with each 

other and make all the stress disappear. And we didn't wait long, until we 

saw our chance. As soon as we saw each other, we started to hurt each 

other immediately. Aurora first pinched my cheeks, as I pulled on her 

hair. Both of us felt all the fighting of the evening flowing back into our 

bodies instantly. But that wasn't all we did. We had to make sure, that 

nobody else might suspect anything.. 

We had to get all of the anger out of our bodies, but at the same time we 

needed to make sure, that nobody saw us hurting each other. That's why 

we pulled and pinched each other, while pretending to cuddle with each 

other. We had to give the outside look, that we were both enjoying the 

evenings and cuddling with each other. But in reality, Aurora was trying 

to bite my face while I was pulling at her hair. I didn't want to make it easy 

for her... and this is how we spend the honey moon. When we came back to our mansion, we couldn't sleep in the bed since we we're used to sleep on the floor. In our honey moon was a comfy and nice bed and how me and Aurora didn't wanted to sleep with eachother, we slept on the floor.. FOR 30 DAYS. I mean .. I would often sneak on the bed and Aurora would pull me by my leg back on the floor. 

It was almost 2 in the morning, when Aurora and I both finally went to 

Our bed. We were both too exhausted, to keep on fighting and that's why we 

had both stayed silent for some time. But both of us couldn't sleep, 

because we were still too angry. That's why, as we went to bed, we both 

tried to get out of bed again, because we had to fight a bit more, just to let 

out all the stress and anger that had built up in us. 

We tried really hard. We both went to bed, because we had to get some 

rest, but we were just too full of anger and energy, because of the evening. 

That's why after a few minutes, both of us got out of bed again and we 

both headed towards each others side of the bed. That's when we said the 

famous words that we both hated so much already... "Just go to sleep 

Aurora." The moment we said those words, both of us knew... It was time 

for a new fight... . She sticks her tongue at me while saying „ Yeah i will you 

dumbass". 

Our eyes met at the moment we heard each others words. And even 

though we were both tired, both of us were immediately full of energy 

again. We both jumped back onto our sides of the bed and prepared for a 

new round. We couldn't understand why, but we just couldn't stop. Why 

did we always have to fight all the time? Both of us hated the situation and 

yet here we were, getting ready to fight for the thousandth time... 

I felt her slap against my face. Not only did it shock me, but it also hurt me 

a lot. In that moment, I looked at Aurora and saw the horror on her face. 

She didn't mean to hurt me so bad and her eyes were full of regret. She 

tried to touch my cheek, where she had just slapped me, but I didn't let 

her. That's why I pushed Aurora away, while I still had a few marks from 

her nails on my face. I didn't want her to feel bad for what she had done, 

but that didn't make it better... 

As Aurora saw, that she had hurt me again, she felt even worse. I turned 

my back towards Aurora and covered myself in the blanket. I tried not to 

show any signs of pain, but I was in fact wounded. Both physically from her 

nail marks and emotionally because I still couldn't figure out, how I really 

felt about Aurora. I didn't want her to touch me or hurt me again, but at 

the same time I didn't want to hurt her either... As Aurora saw, that I 

turned around, she immediately jumped out of bed and came behind me... 

Aurora came over to me and tried to comfort me. After all, she had tried 

to hurt me. She didn't want to see me in this condition. However, I wasn't 

ready to forgive her. Not so soon. I was still disappointed because she had 

slapped me, just because of another stupid little fight we had. So I stayed 

put under the blanket, so that neither Aurora nor anyone else would see 

me crying. I didn't want to be seen like that. I had to stay strong... 

Aurora told me, that she was so sorry for hurting me. But I didn't want to 

believe it. I mean, how could she slap me so hard? That's why I told her to 

leave me alone. I couldn't bear the thought of talking to her right now. I 

was hurt and disappointed not only because of the slap, but also because 

of our fights that we just couldn't stop. I hated to see Aurora hurting me 

and hurting herself in the process. But at the same time I couldn't seem to 

stop myself from hurting Aurora too... 

As Aurora took her pillow and started to walk towards the door, I stayed 

where I was. My head was still under the blanket and I didn't want to talk 

to her right now. "Good night" I heard Aurora say. I still felt hurt, both 

physically and emotionally by that slap, so I didn't say anything. But I also 

couldn't help but notice, how tired she sounded... 

While I thought about Aurora, I heard her leave the room and close the 

door. Without seeing her, I felt bad for not speaking to her properly before 

she left. But now it was too late and I hated myself for everything that had 

happened. I looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath, as I finally let 

out all the tears I had held back. I cried like I had never cried before and 

that's when I realized... Maybe I cared about Aurora more then I thought, 

although I hated to admit it...
