I just told Tina that I would do anything for the person I love.. and she just asked me to leave work and go home so that we can spend time together but what did I do? I told her that I have a meeting, and I can’t leave work. Good thing that she has a meeting too.. So what can I do to prove to her that I’m serious when I told her that I would do anything for the woman I love.
 
I’ll meet her half-way.
 
I’ll leave early today, the same time my baby’s coming home. Maybe I’ll surprise her and help her cook dinner.
 
After a few hours..
 
"Baby where are you?" Tina asked me.
 
"I’m still at the office." I lied since I’m already a few blocks away from our house.
 
"I can’t come home early tonight." Tina confessed.
 
"Why?" I said not being able to hide my disapointment.
 
"The person we’re about to have a conference will arrive later tonight and my boss decided to have a dinner meeting." Tina explained.
 
"Can’t they move the meeting tomorrow?" I asked.
 
"No." Tina simply said. "Baby.. I’m sorry, I didn’t see this coming."
 
"It’s okay." I said as I slowed down my driving.
 
"No need to hurry." I thought to myself.
 
"Baby.." Tina said softly. "We can still have our ‘activity’ just wait for me."
 
"Okay. I’ll wait for you." I simply said.
 
"I love you Bette." Tina said. "I love you.."
 
"Love you too."
 
So this must what Tina feels every time I cancelled on her.
 
Shit.. this hurts. All the anticipation.. gone. With just a phone call.

This is so familiar, just like on our 8th month anniversary.
 
Why does something comes up when I have something planned with Bette. I hate cancelling on her, I know how she can be so excited and for her to be disappointed is heartbreaking.

Good thing I never told her that I was planning to go home early, she would blame herself if she knew that I took my time off from work just to be with her.  But since I am already at home I might as well cook something so when Tina comes home she doesn’t have to worry about cooking.
