The Promise

Alex's p.o.v.

I got home with a big smile on my face, humming a little happy tune under my breath as I shut the front door. As soon as I saw Katy at the table by herself, a plate of food at her side of the table while there was another plate at the other side, untouched, my smile dropped a little. I guess that was for me.

"I'm home." I mumbled, walking over to the table. She barely looked up at me, then put all her attention back on her phone. I frowned.

"Oh, you started dinner?" I asked, ignoring the weird feeling of how unnatural this felt off my chest. I walked over to the food that was probably cold, waiting for Katy to reply before I sat down.

"Uh, yeah, well I did text you that I was putting it on, but I guess you didn't see it." She shrugged, finally placing her phone down and looked at me, a sigh falling from her mouth.

"I guess I didn't see it, but thank you." I smiled weakly, picking it up and went to the microwave to heat it up.

This felt weird and unsettling. She didn't seem the same. I wasn't acting the same. Neither was she.

I stood thinking at the microwave for two minutes, pondering on the thought of Katy. She was probably acting like this because she knows that I knew she is cheating on me. I honestly don't know what our relationship is now. I mean, honestly she doesn't love me if she is cheating on me. Why would she cheat on me, though? Is it because I don't work? Is it because I'm still a 14 year old mentally? I still act like an adult at times, though. I've gave her all my love and care, that should matter, shouldn't it? We haven't had sex in a while, maybe that is what is up. She got bored. But why couldn't she come to me?

So many questions came to my head in two minutes, and I wanted to answer them all.

The beep of the microwave was the thing that brought me out of my thoughts, and I opened it to receive my plate of food. I walked back over to the table, quickly, as the plate was really hot. I sat down at it, looking at Katy as she scrolled through her phone. I decided that I would ask her all my questions when I finished my dinner.

It didn't take me that long to finish my dinner, and I put the plate in the sink. I returned to the chair.

"Why?" Honestly, that's all I wanted to know. Why. Why she does what she does. Why is she still here? Why hasn't she broke up with me?

"Huh?" She asked with confusion, looking up to face me. I bit my lip, trying to control my emotions and not break.

"Why did you cheat on me? And for so long, too." I questioned, wanting nothing but the answer to what I did wrong. I love her, and I thought she loved me, too. But apparently not.

She sighed, placing her thumb and finger against her forehead and rubbed it a bit, showing stress.

"Look, Alex, I love you, okay? But I," another sigh of stress fell from her lips, "I just - I don't know, okay? The guy at my work was being really seductive and I guess I got caught up and hooked under his spell. I love you, really. Not him. Never him. He was just a one night stand."

That wasn't really a good excuse.

"So how does that explain you coming home late every day if it was just a one time thing? Am I not pleasurable enough? Do you not like the amount of love I give you? What is it, Katy, that I am not doing right?" I said, surprisingly calmly, but I was just as stressed as her. Probably more.

She looked at me with pain and guilt written all over her face.

"No, no, of course not! I don't know why I did it, honestly. I wasn't thinking. You're not doing anything wrong, at all. You make me feel special and loved-"

"If I make you feel special and loved, why did you go and sleep with another man more than once? It doesn't add up. It doesn't make sense." My voice raised a bit, but I tried to calm down, although I had every right to be raising my voice. I had every right to go mad at her, yet I didn't act on that right.

"I've only slept with him three times, and today was the last straw. I realised what I was doing, it wasn't right. It didn't feel as great as you, he didn't make me feel as loved as you do. Please, Alex, give me another chance? I know I don't deserve it, but please?" She begged. Dammit, I should've known she was going to do this. But was I going to give her another chance? Should I?

"How many times you've slept with him I not the point , Katy." I said sternly, rubbing my forehead in stress.

"I know, I know! Please, can we just, can you give me another chance? I won't ever do it again. In fact, I'm not even going to look at him, ever."

I sighed, thinking about my decision. Should I take her back, put this all behind us, get married, adopt Lily? I know Jack would be happy. Or do I decline her apology, move myself out, be alone with no job, and not make Jack happy? Wait, what has Jack got to do with this?

Another sigh left my lips and I looked into her eyes, feeling myself get lost into them, reliving our good memories through them.

"Fine, okay. I forgive you, but if I find out you ever cheat on me again, in anyway, I'm leaving. Now, can we just go to bed? This has been stressful." So I forgave her, and I meant what I said. I know I shouldn't have gave in that easy, but I love her.

She looked happy as a big grin grew on her lips. She nodded to my question, so we got up and headed to bed.

We got undressed and got into bed. Before I closed my eyes, I felt Katy's lips on mine, then she cuddled up to me.

"I love you." She whispered into my chest, her arm around my waist.

"I love you, too." I sighed softly, kissing her forehead before closing my eyes and went to sleep.

~~~

"Fuck, shit, I love you, Alex. Oh, God." Katy was screaming my name as she rode me, bouncing up and down and I felt the warmth at the bottom of my stomach. I groaned and moaned, thrusting into her, one hand on her breast while the other steadied her hips.

"I love you so fu- cking much. Oh, fuck." I felt myself close to coming, so I flipped us over, thrusting into her hard and fast. We moaned and moaned, sweat falling from our foreheads, body dripped in it.

"Oh, oh, fuck, I'm going to come. I'm - ah, Alex!" I clenched onto the sheets as she tightened around me, coming. The tightness and her moans made me come seconds after, and I let out a big breath, my head rested into her neck as I breathed hard, coming down from my high. Her arms wrapped around me, and I could hear her breaths clearly.

I haven't felt that good in weeks. We haven't had sex for a month, and it felt so good to finally get laid. I wasn't really expecting us to have sex the morning from our stressful conversation yesterday, but I guess it was make up sex, good make up sex, at that.

I pulled out after catching my breath, discarding the condom in the bathroom bin, then returned to the bedroom where Katy asked if I wanted to join her in the shower, which I obeyed to, as I smelled of sweat and sex.

After taking a shower, me and Katy both got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast.

"Does waffles sound good?" I asked her, my eyes scanning the waffle box that was in the cupboard. She agreed, so I got the box out and made us some waffles while Katy sat at the tv, flicking onto a morning chat show, which strangely interested her for some reason. I'd prefer Adventure Time, but that's just me.

I brought our plates of delicious waffles to the sofa and we sat, watching some stupid chat show, eating them.

"What do you want to do today?" I asked after I finished my waffles. She turned to look at me, and hummed.

"Oh, we need to go food- shopping." She replied. I groaned. I hated shopping. She giggled, and got up, taking my plate.

Shopping was the worst.
