“Hey” he waved as he came home from a long day in the studio. “Hey”, I nodded back going back in to the kitchen to finish making dinner for us both. We didn’t use to be like this, we use to not be able to keep our hands to our selves. We were the definition of crazy love struck teenagers but I guess we grew out of that when we grew up and had to live in the real world. I remember when we would sneak out of our houses to walk along the beach and we’d stay out until we HAD to come back to get ready for school and such. Those were the days. But now six years later you would think we were just roommates instead of husband and wife. 

    We don’t have any children except are dogs Majesty, Katie and Icky. “Maj, Katie, Ick! Dinner!” I shout to them and then I hear the loud thunder sound from them descended from the upstairs. “Here guys.” I reached out my hand and petted every one of them. When I pulled my hand back I looked down at the ring that symbolized our love. I miss the man who gave me this ring. He was sweet thoughtful sexy and caring of others.  I spun the white gold band around my finger a couple of times, before I went to the office down the hall. When I reached the door I gently rapped my knuckle on the door before I turned the knob. I saw him wearing his thick black rimmed glasses and his green piercing eyes looked up from the computer “Yea Chrys?” “Dinner’s ready”  “Be there in a bit” I nodded my head and leave his office and walk back into the kitchen. I take a seat on the bar stools and eat dinner once again alone. For what has got to be the thousandth time. I walk over to the fridge to grab the bottle of wine I had pick up earlier I poured my self a glass and left the bottle out. 

    These past few months have been particularly hard. Zack would ignore me and my efforts of affection. He would shy away from my kisses and when I would try to hold hand he would bat it away. If I didn’t know any better I would say his cheating. But he was home every night the same time and when he would hang with friends I would go with him since his friend were my friends. I bought the glass up to my lips and savored the red wine and thought back to simpler times. I soon hear the office door open and then his light foot steps coming towards the kitchen. I continue to eat not noticing him. He makes his plate and then walks back to his office to work on songs or maybe a design. I have no idea we never talk anymore. When I was almost done with my dinner I received a text from my dear friend Harley “Hey Hun what are you doing?” I read when I replied “Just eating dinner alone again” when I’m finished with my last bite I rinse off my plate and put it in the dishwasher. Icky start scratching at the sliding back door so I let them out.

When I was heading up to my bedroom I hear my phone start ringing Harley’s ring tone “Hey Har” “Don’t Hey Har Me why you are eating dinner alone again Hun you should be eating with your husband” “Har not today ok I don’t wanna fight with you on this subject.” “NO! you’re going to listen to me you have been married for 4 years this is still the “Honeymoon” stage you guys are suppose to be happy all the time it makes everyone around you sick!” “How can I make other people when I make my own husband sick he can’t stand to be in the same room with me anymore? We share a bed together but when we sleep we’re miles apart Harley! Zack doesn’t love anymore ok!” I sob the last part “he doesn’t want to be with me anymore. The only reason he hasn’t asked for a divorce yet is because that would be bad for his image. He doesn’t love me Harley.” “Yes he does Hun you can see it…” “When he looks at me…he doesn’t look at me anymore Harley!! I got to go” “No” “Yes! Bye!” I hang up the phone and rest my face in my hands after I get a hold of my self I make sure my make up hasn’t ran. I scribble out a note to zack if he wondered where I went but I doubt he would.

I grab my car keys to my charger I leave my purse at the house. I just had to get away from him that house everything there. I drive up to the beach. When I arrive it’s almost sunset I grab my jacket out of the backseat and take a seat on the hood of my car where I just sit and think back to the one day. 

We were so wrapped up in each other I missed my flight back home so I had to stay with him and the guys another week  since Michigan had a horrible snow storm. That week was the best week of my life. I could just concentrate on him and me. I also though back to our senior prom night are friends and us had a blast Jimmy and Matt along with their dates Alice and Jean got wasted and ended up pasted out on my front porch. But that night was even more special to me. Because Zack promised one day he would marry me and make me the happiest woman on this earth. That night we made love for the first time. I use to think that we were made for each other. That god molded us to be together, that it was in the stars. But as I looked at a younger couple walking along the beach and then I looked down at my wedding band I realized we weren’t. Maybe we were meant to be in each others lives just not this way. 



~Zack’s POV~
Looking at what felt like the millionth design I hear a rap on my door and then see the face of my wife of 4 years. “Yea Chrys?” she would use to come in and distract me when I was in here for a long time but after she just stopped. I never knew why but instead of getting her mad I just let it go. “Dinner’s Ready” “Be there in a bit”, I finished up my email telling my designer what I liked and what I didn’t like. I get up and walk into the kitchen hoping to see my wife’s smiling face but no she tucked her face on her hand and her long blond brownish hair hiding her face. The face that I could look at and my day would get better in an instant. But something has happened to her face it no longer held the smile that reached her eyes. It just lingered there for a second and then it would be gone. How I missed that smile. I fix my plate feeling the tension in the air I retreat back to my office. When I get back to my office I set the plate down and sit in my chair when I look at some stuff dealing with me and the guys. I pick at my dinner every now and then. A few moments later I hear Chrys voice raise. I have a war my self to see if I should go see who or why she’s yelling but I decide against it. After a while I her car come to life. I peek out the window in time to see her speed off down the street.  I walk out of my office and go to the kitchen to see a note 

Zack, 
I had to get away from the house and I hate saying this but I had to get away from you. I will be home soon don’t worry. 

I Love You Very Much 
Chrys

P.s. Remind Me.


As I read the P.s. I call mine and her best friend Brian and Harley’s House. “Hello?” “Hey Bri can I talk to Harley for a minute?” “Sure let me get her….HARLEY Phone!” I listen to her ask who it was and when Brian told it was me she made a strange noise “What Do You Want Baker?” “Do you know what’s wrong with Chrys? Because she just took off with out saying by but she left me a note.” “No. All I can tell you is she’s tired of eating dinner alone. It’s bad enough she has to do that when you’re on tour but when your home to spend time with your family and wife. She sits there in the kitchen trying to hold on to her love for you. If it was me I would have left you a long time ago. Zack in all honesty I don’t think she can take much more. She thinks you don’t love her she thinks the only reason why you haven’t asked for a divorce is because it would ruin your image.” “What?” “Yea all you do Zack is work in the studio come home go to your office eat dinner and long after Chrys has gone to bed you drag your sorry ass up the stairs. Don’t you love her?” “More then anything!” “Then fucking show her or you will lose her there’s no if about it”  “Thanks Harley” “Yea bye.” with that I hang up the phone with Harley and grab my keys off the table by the front door and get in my car. Driving all around Huntington looking for my wife the love of my life. When I drive by our spot I see a silhouette I recognize it was Chrys. She was sitting on the hood of her car, watching people at the beach. The sun had just set so it was getting chilly. I walk up to her car then soon I’m standing in front of her. “Chrys?…Baby?” 


~Chrys POV~ 
“Chrys?…Baby?” that’s all it took was for me to start crying I bury my face in my hands and let the tears fall. “What Zack did you come here to say its over? Well guess what I know it’s over it’s been over for a while hasn’t it?” “No that’s not why I came here Baby.” “Don’t Call Me That” “what why not you are you’re my baby” “No I’m not. I’m nothing to you anymore. You don’t look at me anymore Zack. When I try to kiss you, you back away from me and don’t get me started on if I want to hold your hand. You don’t love me anymore. Just let me down easy ok? If you could do as little damage as possible.” “Chrys what are you talking about I Love you Baby. I’m not going to let you down period. You are going to remain in my arms until the day we day and even then I won’t let you go, and you ARE My Baby Chrys you are the reason why I’m here. I would never dream of leaving you ok baby? Can we go home so I can cuddle with my beautiful wife please?” “I suppose we can.” I didn’t believe him. Sure we would act like a couple for a night maybe two if I was lucky but after that I’d go back to eating dinner alone and just sleeping when the lights were off in our bedroom. I hated saying that I don’t believe my own husband but I just don’t. The damage was already done. “Come on Chrys let’s go home.” 

    Zack called out to me one last time. I climbed off my car and proceeded to get my car and drive home. Zack said something but I didn’t hear him account of me revving my engine and turning up my stereo. I raced home and went into the kitchen to finish the bottle of wine.  I heard the door open knowing it was Zack I stayed right where I was. “Chrys?!” he hollered. “In here Zack” I took the last gulp of wine and discarded the empty bottle. 

    When he walked into the kitchen I saw a smile on his face. The one that lit up the whole room that smile lit everything up except me. “Zack?” “Yes Babe?” “Can you promise me something?” “Anything in this world” “Promise me we won’t go back to that side of us please baby I couldn’t take much more. It’s the worse feeling in the world to get ignored by your husband. That one person you run to when you need cheering up but, I didn’t have you Zack, I didn’t have my husband. Do you know how empty I felt?” “No Chrys I didn’t. I was so caught up in my own world with the album and the guys. I never meant for you to get hurt or feel unwanted. At times I just wanted to say fuck it and run home to you and just hug you and kiss you.” Zack walked closer to me when he could reach out to take my hand and raising it up to his lips the cold steel rings sent shivers down my spine “I’m home when I’m in your arms Chrys.”  “I missed you Zack.” He looked up into my eyes and noticed my eyes holding some tears. “Don’t cry Hun I missed you to.” he let out a little laugh and continued to kiss my hand then my cheek, neck and the corner of my eyes. He kissed all around my face except my lips. If I could pinpoint one thing Zack could do besides lay guitar it would be kissing, he had a gift I swear. I just wanted to feel his lips on mine it had been, too long since we had kiss I missed kissing my husband. 

    “Let’s go watch a movie and cuddle I miss having you in my arms.” I nod my head and he tells me to go on up while he locks the doors and let’s the dogs in. “Ok Zack.” I give him a small smile before I turn to go up the stairs zack grabs my hand pulls me back to his chest. “I Mean it when I said I missed you Chrys but, I know everything will be ok cause I can still hold you in my arms right now. Now go pop in whatever movie you want.” I could tell he was trying to say he was sorry and mend are tangled web. I walk up the stairs smiling and remembering  when we would talk for hours on the phone telling each other how much we missed each other even though we saw each other an hour or two ago. It was amazing to be so young and being in love so much he would give his life for me and I would do the same for him. I started seeing that Zack a little bit tonight. 

    I reach our bedroom and go to his side of room and take out one of his shirts I took off my blouse and my bra and slipped on his shirt. That’s one thing that hadn’t changed I still wore his shirts to bed it made me feel close to him again. I then walked over to my side and slid my jeans off and put my black pajama shorts on I then walk to my side and turn down the comforter and turn on the T.V. looking and seeing if something, anything was on. I finally settled on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and watch it until Zack comes in to the bedroom carrying another bottle of wine and two glasses. “Hey Baby, What are we watching?” “Nothing was on so I decided on Buffy” I saw him roll his eyes and I let out a little laugh I use to be obsessed with this show back in high school. “I remember we had to end one of are dates early just so you could watch the new episode” “It was the season finale Babe! I had to know if her and Angel would get back together…” “But in the end she killed his ass.” “I Know! I hated her because of it to” he laugh again as he crawled into bed and opened his arms for me to cuddle in to. I was still cautious about it I still felt that this wouldn’t last long. “Babe can we stay like this, and not ever go back to ignoring and denying each other please?” “I wouldn’t even think of denying you sweetheart I was just so busy but from now on I will make time for you. I swear we’ll have a date nights all the time. I Promise.” I smiled seeing in his eyes he meant what he was saying. I closed the space that separated us. “Come on I want to see if Buffy can save the world again,” he laughed and kissed my forehead and then my hair. “I Love you Zackary” “I Love You More Chrystal” I lookup and see him staring into my eyes while I stared right back into those beautiful orbs, I then looked down at his plump pink lips that had two steel rings framing them.

     Zack and I had the same thought as we both leaned in until are lips meet. The kiss was better then I remembered. His lips were hard on mine but no so hard that it seemed like a demanding kiss. Hard like he wanted to keep me here in this spot forever. He licked my bottom lip asking for entrance. I let him in we fought for dommance for a few minutes until I finally caved and let him have it. “I missed your kisses Chrys. I Missed You.” “I missed you too baby.” after making are confession on missing each other’s touch. After what felt like hours of kissing Zack ran his fingertips along the bottom of my shirt until his whole hand was on my skin. Soon after that I was shirt less just like him. Now the only clothing we had on were for me shorts and Zack his ball shorts and boxers. He laid me down and started to kiss down my neck and chest he lingered at my breast and paid them both equal attention. I moaned his name as he trailed down my stomach he hooked his fingers in my shorts and painfully slow pulled them down and then tossed them the side joining his shirt. “Chrys I Love You let me show you how much I’ve missed you,” He Asked. I just smiled and nodded my head yes. Soon after I nodded I could feel his long finger by passing my panties and heading straight to my heat. While his fingers were busy fucking me his mouth showed me how much he had missed me, his kisses were gentle but urgent. Tangling my finger in his thick black hair pulling at it when he would hit that spot. Moaning his name again I told him I wanted him. I wanted him every possible way I could have him. I had missed him so much I didn’t want this night to end. When he entered me, he noticed how tight I was and you could see the sadness in his eyes. I use to fit him just right but after the past 8 months of not having sex. I had gone back to when before I was with him. He stayed there until I gave him the go ahead to and continue to move inside of me. He whispered in my ear “I’m so sorry I haven’t showed you love in so long. I’m going to make up for it tonight. I Love You” he kissed my ear, neck and finally my lips. 
After awhile he started to go a steady pace before too long we were both reaching are breaking point. “I Love You Chrys!” Pounding in to me so close to me breaking I screamed “ I LOVE YOU TO ZACK!” he kept pumping in me a few more times to ride out our climaxes. “God How I Missed You!” “I Missed You Too Babe Remind Me Again How Much?” I smiled my devil smile. “There’s My girl” he smirked and started to kiss me again. 

This is what we were like when we teenagers and I’m glad I was reminded again of how lucky I was to have Zack as my husband. He was my true love we were in fact made for each other and I would spend my lifetime reminding him of just that.
