Angelina
He was gone for most of the day. Mafia stuff. It was the type of stuff that I wasn't to ask about. I did my part. I met his dad. And I played that part well. Or at least that's what I told myself. So I didn't need to wonder about all the other stuff going on. It was none of my business.
Okay, so I didn't need to wonder. But I wanted to, and I did. Every second that he was away from me, I wondered about what he was doing at that moment. That mysterious mafia life. But I also just hoped that he was safe. It wasn't like any other relationship. I did worry about him. He was the perfect man in my eyes. Perfect because he was imperfect. And then I had to worry about him losing his life every second he walked out the door. You could worry about your significant other getting into a car accident in other relationships.
I never considered myself to be a pessimist. I only became a pessimist when I was scared. I guess when you value something and don't want to lose it, fear comes into play. I was only human, after all. Tomaso wasn't giving me much to work with. He gave what he wanted to give in the rest. I just had to be curious about it. We both had plenty of ups and downs, and I liked it. I liked the chaos, as bad as that may have sounded. These constant nerves made my legs shake and my breath short. And I kind of enjoyed it all.
The downtime sucked, though. That was hard when Tomaso wasn't home, and I just had to be his fake fiance for no one but myself. It was almost like putting on a stand-up comedy show for no one. What was the motivation? What was I doing with my life? Especially when you have the time to think about the end result. And for me, that end result could be nothing but a called-off fake marriage. How exciting.
I made myself some hot pockets for brunch. It wasn't the sexiest thing that I could be doing. But I was hungry. And I missed Tomaso. Combine the two, and you got a girl who eats whatever she wants. It also took my mind off of sex. I wasn't typically an overly sexual woman, but when it came to him, that, too, went out the window. It felt like he had this uncanny ability to change my DNA. He was like some sort of supervillain in a Marvel movie. He could penetrate my soul and warp it into whatever he wanted without trying.
I was on the couch watching my reality shows. When I heard the key turned in the door. My heart started to race. My man was home. Yes, I called him my man to myself. It was called manifesting. I had to manifest my future because it wouldn't manifest itself.
When the door opened, I kept my eyes on the TV.
