Content: Something that's been in my drafts, rough story outline. Should I continue it?
-----------------
So I have an amazing husband. He's my best friend, my travel partner, my lover. I could go on and on but I really couldn't ask for a better man. So what's the problem, right? Everything sounds perfect.
Well, there isn't a problem per say.. I've been just fine keeping my one secret to myself. Years of practice and it's manageable on my own. The guilt is a bit of a problem though, I feel so guilty not telling him. I'd want him to share his secrets, so it's not fair that I keep my biggest one to myself.
The guilt is the problem because he'd be crushed if he knew how long I've hid it. He's one of the most understanding people i know, I trust him completely, but I can't bring myself to spill it all. Sometimes I even think he knows there's something I haven't shared. Every once in a while he looks at me differently, like he's telling me it's okay.
---------------------------------------
Caleb comes home from work and kisses me on his way to set his things down.
"Hey Baby, you all packed for vacation?"
"Almost, I just have a few last minute items to throw in the suitcase. Dinner is almost done, we can eat and then I'll finish so we can hit the road."
"Few more things? I can grab them for you. I'll grab everything and then come eat shortly. "
"No no, I'll get them!"
"Ah, well okay then. I'll be back in a few. "
I know he's wondering why I'm not fully ready to go, but of course I can't say that I spent most of the day lounging in a diaper. I cleaned everything up before he got home just in time.
I finish up dinner and set the table but Caleb hasn't come back down, odd. I head up to check on him.
---------------------------------
"Hey Hun, everything okay up here? Dinner is do- Uh what's going on? "
He's holding up diapers that didn't make it back to one of my hiding spots.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that, Baby? Let's have a little chat."
I gulp and start to panic, trying to think of an excuse but coming up empty. He sounds calm but annoyed but honestly not as surprised as I thought he'd be.
"Dinner is goi-"
"Dinner is going to wait. You're going to explain to me what you've been hiding from me for over 4 years. "
"Caleb I'm so sorry, I can explain, I promise! I didn't want to hurt you and I didn't know how to tell you!"
"Hurt me? Keeping important things from me hurts me. I'm a pretty understanding person and you know that, you shouldn't have kept it from me like this. Now I'll let you explain it all but before you do, I've known you've kept a secret and I've seen traces but couldn't put the pieces together. You're a very sneaky little girl, go on and tell me all of the details about your secret and how you've hid it from me. You have my undivided attention. "
I spill it all. Down to the nitty gritty details. The tears start almost immediately, I've never felt so ashamed of myself. He doesn't interrupt or judge me, he just watches me and listens intently. The diapers he found sat on the bed next to him the whole time taunting me. When I finish he waits a minute before saying "show me all of it". I'm pretty sure I turned an impossible shade of red, I was burning up from embarrassment. I didn't make a move at first.
"I'm only going to ask one more time before I go looking myself. Show me all of it, now Sara"
All I can do is nod and start showing him all of my hidden compartments throughout the bedrooms. All of it's collected in our bedroom within minutes, all laid out on our bed.
"Thank you for explaining it all and showing me, I know that was extremely hard for you. Did it ever occur to you that I might like your secret?"
I just shake my head and can't make eye contact.
"You have better manners than that, look at me while someone is speaking to you."
A bit shocked at his words and tone, I look up to meet his eyes. I can't read him at the moment, I've never seen his disappointed yet stern look like this.
"Thank you. Come here, you need a hug baby."
We hug for a long time just holding each other and the tears just quietly stream down my face. I'm sure we're both floored with emotions.
"Here's what's going to happen.. you're going to go reheat dinner and let me know when it's done. I'm going to pack my stuff up. We'll have dinner and leave as normal, and we can talk more if you want or leave it for tonight and talk later. We'll still enjoy our vacation and everything will be okay, I'll always love you no matter what."
"I love you too, I'm so sorry didn't tell you"
I follow his order, almost appreciating the direction given the circumstances.
------------------------------
We have dinner, leave for vacation and I pass out in the car while Caleb drives. I was so exhausted, I didn't pay attention to much until I woke up the next morning. Realizing he drove through the night while I slept made me feel a little guilty. I only woke because he was carrying me into the beach house. It was a really nice feeling, being held close with my face buried in his neck. I subtly nuzzled him a little and he chuckled.
"I know you're awake baby, you like being held like this?
I froze. He didn't need to know the answer to that.
"That's not going to work anymore, I'm on high alert for you avoiding my questions and lying. Answer the question, I'll know if you're telling the truth"
Sigh. "Yes"
"Short answer but I'll take it, good job sweetie"
Well, those butterflies are new. I wonder what made that happen, I think to myself. He sets me down on the bed and there's a small smirk playing on his lips but he doesn't say anything as he turns to get the rest of our things.
