OOC: lol I noticed that and thought you might want to. Got any ideas?
Chris arrived home around midnight, entering quietly so he didn't wake Bella. He shut the door behind him, locking it again, and walked further into their apartment. He stopped in his office to leave his brief case there and then headed towards their bedroom, shrugged off his suit jacket and removing his loosened tie.

ooc: Ummmmmm... Keeping it Quiet. Or something like that?
Bella was asleep on the bed, in some special lingerie with candles burning and rose petals leading into the room and on the bed. It was their anniversary and she had planned a nice dinner and a romantic evening. And to be honest, she wasn't surprised when Chris didn't show up from work.

OOC: That's what it'll be unless you want to change it.
Chris didn't walked over the pedals, not noticing them until he saw their candlelit room and Bella on the bed. He realized what he had forgotten earlier and stopped in his tracks, feeling horrible. He sighed as he continued over to the bed, sitting on the edge, next to her. He leaned down and gently shook her shoulder. "Bella.." He spoke softly.

Bella opened her eyes quickly then shut them again as she yawed. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't smiling or excited to see him. She was dissapointed and was frankly sick of being dissapointed. Still laying down, she looked up at him. "Working late again?"

Chris didn't bother answering or explaining this time. He looked her in the eye. "I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you. I promise."

Bella shakes her head, getting up from the bed. She put a big t-shirt over her lingerie and walked over, moving her hair behing her ears as she blew out the candles. "How would you do that, Chris? It's our anniversary and you forgot. Again." She started picking up the rose petals, not looking at him.

Chris stood up and turned to watch her. "I know.." He glanced down and sighed again, not making excuses. He looked up at her and walked over, putting his hand on her arm to stop her from cleaning up the petals. "Let me make it up to you.. please.. or at least let me try."

Bella just looks at his hand for a second then follows his arm up to his face and looks into his eyes with a sad expression. "How do you plan on doing that?"

Seeing her expression made Chris feel even worse. He swallowed slightly, looking back into her eyes. "Just let me try.." He didn't know how he was going to make up for all of the forgotten dinners, dates, and other occasions.

Bella simply shook her head and broke her gaze in his eyes. She continued cleaning up the petals as she sighed. "I just don't know if I can do that. I am so emotionally drained right now'

Chris glanced down at the petals, "Will just stop and look at me?!" He yelled angrily, pausing to calm down. "I'm sorry, Bella.." He tried to make eye contact again. "I love you, I do. I just.. I don't tell you that enough, and I know I don't show it.."

Bella angrily throws the petals down and looks up at him, almost glaring. "No! You don't. You haven't in years! Since you got this damn job, you haven't had any time for me or even TRIED to have time for me. I feel like you love your job more than you love me, and that is not how a fiance should feel!!" She had never told Chris how angry this made her, so she had a lot of anger built up

Chris was slightly taken aback, but he knew she was right. "That's not true. I landed a great job with a great firm, and I'm on the fast track. It's the opportunity of a lifetime. I know it's hard, but I just want to be able to give you everything. If we stick this out, you can have your dream wedding, every dream vacation.. anything you've ever wanted." He looked at her, pausing for a moment. "I just want to be able to give you everything you deserve."

Bella crossed her arms and swallowed hard, not wanting to say what she was about to say. "Maybe I don't want all of that with you anymore. Maybe I can't wait it out." She looks at him, starting to cry. "Maybe you need to prove to me that you're worth waiting for."

Chris stared at her for a minute. "What are you saying? Which is it? Are you going to give me a chance first? Another chance?" He corrected himself, staring at her with a mix of confusion and desperate hope.

Bella let a few tears fall as she looked down at the crushed rose petals. It was too hard to look at him. "I don't know Chris.. I love you so much.. but this is so hard" She shakes her head, wiping a tear from her cheek. "I don't think you understand."

"Then help me understand!" Chris replied earnestly, watching her closely.

Bella shakes her head, wiping a few more tears from her cheek while still staring at the ground. "I can't" She said quietly. "You just can't understand.."
