Writer's POV
Although the weather was bright and nice , it didn't seem like Theo was feeling it . He got into his apartment that he shared with his 'lovely Betty' and slammed the door behind him.
Betty did not bother to shift her gaze from the television and that annoyed him greatly. He picked up the remote control and turned the tv off.
She eyed him "why are you sulking ?"
He just hissed and slumped on the cushion in a very dramatic way . His brows squeezed the way they do when he frowns.
Betty rolled her eyes as she picked up the remote control to continue her favorite show.
"I don't have time for this today" she murmured under her breath.
"Do you even care about me ?" Theo fumed trying as best as he could to control his anger.
Betty did not do anything wrong , he knew that so well , so he didn't have the right to be angry at her. But he would be regardless if she continued to act like this.
"What do you mean?" Betty turned to face him , her own anger beginning to take the best of her. She had been spending the whole day by herself and she had been loving every bit of it. She was not about to allow Him affect her day with his temper and insensitivity.
"You went to your 'in-laws' for your usual Sunday lunch and you come back home trying to pass out your aggression on me?."
He opened his mouth to speak but She got up , hissed and went to the kitchen "Theo please spare me today, I'm not in the mood."
"You're not in the mood? Can you not see that I'm not in the mood either?" He barked following her to the kitchen.
"Then go to bed Theo , go to bed! Whatever is wrong with you , leave me out of it!" Betty yelled , her hands trembling as she tried to microwave the left over pizza.
Theo walked gently to her and hugged her from behind "I'm sorry princess , I didn't meant to upset you."
"So what is the matter ? When your ex girlfriend insults you and embarrasses you , you come home taking it all out on me like it's my fault" her voice trembled.
She swallowed hard not willing to let the sob out. This wasn't the time to cry , she was tired of crying . Tired of proving to this man that she loved him so much and would do anything to make him happy.
She freed herself from his embrace and went back to continue with her show.
Theo hesitated for a while , seeing that he had upset her again .
"Baby I'm sorry" he said bringing her a glass of chilled juice. "Juice and pizza , good match just like me and you" he grinned trying to make a joke.
She took the juice but didn't look at him.
"Well Anna didn't insult me" he said , even though she was not listening or pretended not to hear him.
"Her mom said she's out of town for the main time" he continued. "I wonder who she's with".
Betty scoffed , she was used to him ranting about Anna but every time it still surprises her how obsessed he had become over the years. She knew Theo so well , he didn't love Anna as much as he claimed . He just liked having his way no matter what. He liked being in control.
"So that's why you're upset?" She asked calmly.
He shrugged , taking a slice of pizza without asking.
There was no point telling Betty how he felt, she would not understand . He stole a quick glance at her , he could not help but wonder why she had chosen to stick to him even with the whole drama going on in his life.
He did not know what he felt towards her at that moment , it felt more like pity.
He took her hands gently and kissed each of them "I got you Bet, trust me when I say I got you because I really do."
Betty sighed , short of words and full of emotions. With mixed feelings , she leaned closer to him and kissed him gently on the lips.
She smiled and just nodded but then he grabbed her by the waist and kissed her deeply making her head spin like it always does anytime he touches her.
Her heart felt heavy but she really loved him and she was not going to leave him , not now not ever. He would eventually get over everything, with time.
His hands were already in her shorts , he found his way into her inner thighs making her moan softly into his ear.
"Theo?" she whispered. "I love you . I love you so much."
He paused but didn't respond , he stopped fumbling with her wetness, wrapped her in his arms and rocked her back and forth like a baby.
"We are going to be fine I promise you" she continued . "You are going to be just fine , I would not leave you".
She let the tears flow down freely as she held on to him so tight.
" I love you Theo" she sobbed.
"Hey hey Princess , please don't cry" Theo said . He hated it so much when she cried like this.
It made his heart ache for no reason. He was sure that he was in love with only Anna but Betty also had so much effect on him that he felt confused about his feelings sometimes.
"It has to be the sex" he thought .
He stroked her hair gently not knowing what to do or say to make her feel better.
Betty sniffed back tears , she pushed herself closer into his warm embrace, his familiar perfume filling her nostrils. She closed her eyes taking in all the fragrance.
"I love you so much" she said again after few minutes of silence, looking up to meet his gaze.
He smiled , she knew the smile was genuine because it stretched to his eyes. And even though he didn't say that he loves her back, she was satisfied.
"I'll get you that bag you have always wanted, in two different colors" he said in an attempt to cheer her up and she just nodded.
