I AM SORRY
We both walked back to the hotel room in silence, no one said a word, I don't think we know how to start. I opened the door, stepping inside and walked over the the bed to remove my sneakers that were hurting my feet.
I let out a breath of relief, as I placed my sneakers at the corner of the room, walking past Cole who has been pacing.
"I am sorry for yelling out there." He stopped in front of me.
I am glad he started the conversation because I don't know what to say and I don't want us to have to snub each other for the rest of the night.
"I am sorry about Kitty, it was never my intention for her to see Wilder." I looked up at him, trying to see if he is still pissed. I can't read the expression on his face at the moment, he is avoiding my eyes. "She must have heard he say is name and out of respect, started calling him Uncle Wilder."
"I am so sorry." He muttered, his voice breaking.
"No, it's my fault." I placed my eyes on his face, trying to get him to look at me. I soon realized that he is avoiding my eyes because he is teary eyed.
"No, it's not. This is all my fault, I am so stupid." Tears already dropping from his face, I felt my heart squeeze. I don't like seeing him like this.,
"Hey," I called out to him, cleaning he tears from the corner of his face.
"I shouldn't have suggested this bullshit, I have ruined everything, haven't I?" He whispered.
"I am still here, aren't I?" I spoke softly, cleaning more tears from his face. I can feel my eyes water, I hate this.
"I don't deserve you."
"Don't say that. It's my fault as well, I forced all of this, the vacation, the spontaneous marriage shit, we were doing well before. I am so stupid." I should have left things the way they were, I let Lily's perfect marriage cloud my judgement. My marriage wasn't perfect but we were alright the way we were.
I guess.
"I am the one that don't deserve you. You came here for me even if you can didn't want to, you came because of my whining. I know you would rather work on new apps and hang out Kitty through out the summer."
"No, I came because our marriage wasn't has it used that be and you noticed it. I was so stupid not to see it." He takes my hands away from his cheeks and holds them into his.
"We were okay." I whispered.
"We should be more than okay." My heart hammering trying to understand where this conversation is leading to.
"I just want things to go back to the way they were." I held his hands tight.
"I want things to be better." He places his hand on my face. "You deserve better." I froze, I have heard those words before and it doesn't end well.
"C-Cole." I stammered.
"I am going to be better, I promise. For you, for Kitty and for our family." I let out a breath of relief as I heard those words. Happiness erupting in my chest, I was going to have an heart attack seconds ago.
I came closer to him, pulling him close to me as I raised my legs a little bit, bringing him in for a kiss. His soft lips on mine, I closed my eyes feeling like it's forever since we kissed.
"And I am going to be better to." I said against his lips. He smiled, attacking my lips for a more aggressive and passionate kiss. We withdrew soon as breathing became a necessity.
"As for our conversation this morning, I chose us. I will always choose us, so much uncertainty in this world but I am certain about my love for you. I don't want this open marriage bullshit anymore." He places a kiss on my fore head.
I bit down on my lips trying not to blush but I couldn't hold it. This is the man I fell in love with.
"Are you sure you are okay?" I know his words can't take back the last couple of days that has just been very weird. "You getting drunk, the gym bitch, drunk calling your mum, us fighting and almost attacking Wilder, I just want to know where your head is at?" I muttered.
I want him to choose his family because he wants to not because he feels pressured to.
"These past couple of days is just an eye opener, making me realize where my priorities lie." With the smile on his face, I already knew he was going to say something cheesy." And it's with you Mi Amore." I chuckled at his poor attempt at those simple words.
"You sound really sexy when you speak Spanish." I moaned seductively.
"Oh, I have the perfect teacher." I put my arms around him, trying to capture his lips again but he withdraws.
"I didn't want to ruin the moment but you stink." He laughed as I dropped my arms.
"I went hiking," I gasped hitting his arms. He draws me close to him in spite my whining.
"I am kidding." He laughed, my cheeks red in embarrassment. "I am kidding."
"Well I am going to hit the showers." I walked away from him, removing my jacket.
"Can I join?" I turned as I felt him behind me.
"No." I taunted him.
"I will take that has a yes."

"It's a tiny cut." Kitty shows her dad her new injury on her finger. The is the cutest clumsy creature ever.
"I feel like we need to have you bubble wrapped." Cole shakes his head, I let out a low laugh along with Kitty.
"I got this cut from saving a cat." Kitty laughs mischievously.
Oh boy, look what Wilder has done.
"What?" Cole stares at the screen confused, not understanding the inside joke.
"It's a long story." I laughed, putting my head in his shoulders.
"Grandma and I ate pizza for dinner." Kitty announced clearly happy that she convinced my mum to order one.
"Wow, you are living the life." Cole feigns jealously.
"We should totally get pizza too." I whispered.
"I'd rather eat something else." I felt his hands crawly on my skin, I glared at him smacking his hands off.
He winked turning back to the screen like he didn't do anything.
"You should go to bed cute face, it's way past your bed time."
"But I want to talk with you guys longer." She whined.
"The earlier you go to bed, the earlier you get to talk to us tomorrow." I negotiated.
"Okay." Kitty nodded.
"Good night sweetheart, I love you." I made kissing notices making her giggle.
"Love you mum, love you dad."
"Love you, baby." Her cute face disappears from the screen.
"Now where were we?" Cole attacks my lips badly letting me drop the phone.
