I'm so freakin' pissed.

Having dinner with my 9 year boyfriend and his parents. And the place were we are eating at is know as one of expensive restaurant of city.

Well, we are here celebrating my 9 year boyfriend, Edward's promotion...

So everything should be all fine and dandy, but I'll say it again... "I'm freakin' pissed off"  because....

"Are you okay ? Are you not happy with the food y/n?" Edward asked. He sees me picking at my food and ask me out of his concern. Which make you more pissed.

"No...I-I'm just not feeling well....." you replied as give a slight smile. Making him give a small smile back.

Edward father give me a reproachful look and Suddenly, speaks up making you look at him.

"Oh, dear. That won't do, considering you'll have to prepare for a wedding soon!! You have to stay healthy!" He said which make your spoon drop from your hand.

You freeze in place, unable to hide tremor in my eyes. Looking at Edward.

"He said he wouldn't tell his parents about the proposal...!"

Feeling perplexed, I unconsciously clench my fists.

Well, Edward had proposed you just recently....But you turned him down because you wasn't ready to get married so soon.

"What's wrong y/n? Why're you making that face?" she said as you snap back in reality.

"Its nothing...don't mind!" You said and muster a smile brush off her concerns.

"Are you sure it's nothing? You always make the same face whenever marriage is brought up!" She said.

"Tsk, tsk...He may be my son, but men like Edward are a rarity these days." Edward's father added. Edward's father is a bit less shy about expressing his disapproval than his mother.

"Edward is now the youngest associate director in the history of the company. Remarkable, isn't he?" he added.

You exclaimed in inside "oh well...ha..!"

"The company must've seen just how competent he is. But you'd know that better than anyone else, considering you're always by his side. Isn't that right y/n?" he said.

Just as I'm about to fire back at him, I clench my jaw and decide to bear with it. As you can't disrespect them.

"..The associate director was originally going to be y/n, not me....."  Edward suddenly interjects with a low voice.

Everyone at the table then looks at him in surprise.

"W-what are you talking about?" his mother asked as she was shocked my his sudden confession.

"The company had nominated y/n... for the position... She's way more qualified than I am in terms of experience and performance records.. but..." he said. He halt as sighed.

"When senior management found out about our wedding plans..... I got promoted instead... Because women tend to focus less on their job once they get married..." he said.

"Excuse me?" your mind was playing trick...you can't think of anything. As his face became nervous.

"|-is this news to you, Y/n? I thought you knew." He said. It takes everything within me to not burst out in a fit of rage. An awkward moment of silence hangs in the air.

" W-we s-should get going.." He said. Edward then swiftly grabs my hand and gets up to leave... Leaving his parents behind in an utter state of shock.

As I sit in the car headed for home..... I intensely stare out the window while gnawing on the inner walls of my mouth.

"Y/n..." he said. Edward warily glances at me a few times before gently grabbing my hand.

However, I swat him away without a moment of mercy.

"Ugh...My insomnia is only gonna get worse from here on out." You thought.

"Don't you think you're being a bit much, Y/n?"  He breaks the silence.

"What??" you said.

"Do you have any idea how hard I'm trying to make you feel better?..... What's your deal, anyway, huh? You haven't said a word to me since we left!"  He said.

"Is this some kind of joke to you??" you spat. I shift my entire body around to face him.

"Joke? Why would I be joking at a time like this?" he said and sarcastically laugh. You roll your eyes.

"You're so shameless, you know that?" you said.

"Me? Shameless? In what way?" he said. Dumbfounded by my accusations, Edward takes his eyes off the road and turns to look at me.

Edward pulls over to the side of the road.

*Screech*

"Just spit it out, Y/n!!" He said.

"Fine, I will. Just make sure you're listening properly."

You said. He gulp as filled with nervousness.

"I clearly turned down your proposal, and you promised me you wouldn't tell anyone about it." You spat out.

"But not only did you tell your parents, you also told all of your buddies at work, like an idiot.... So thanks to you, I lost my promotion, and I had to listen to your parents tell me about how I should feel lucky to marry you!!" you added.

He sighed and take a long breath.

"Listen, Y/ n . I didn't think you'd turn me down...."he said. Making your anger more reached to the peak of mountain.

"That's why I told everyone before I even proposed to you!" he continued.

"Oh, really? So then why haven't you told anyone that I rejected you, huh?"  you said.

Edward silently avoids my gaze.

"Huh...you shameless coward..." you said as annoyingly smirked. Look outside the window. He loudly sighed which make you more annoyed.

"You know...I'm going!!" you said. Slam the door on his face.

"What are you- Y/N...Y/N...LISTEN TO ME..."

You ignore the sound of Edward desperately calling out my name as you didn't halt your feets. Your feets begin to make the long journey home on foot.

*clack-clack-clack*

The sound of keyboards keys...echoing in dead silence room. Your cramped, yet ridiculously expensive apartment is filled with the sound of fingers furiously typing away on a keyboard.

You lost my promotion, argued with your boyfriend, and was insulted by his parents, all in one day.....

A sighed escape from your lips.  Yet here you are, working through all night.....

Putting laptop aside, falling your tired body on soft mattress. All the while sobbing like a small kid only you can do.

"I'm so freaking pissed....this is so unfair...I'm still working  at this godly hours....working so hard for everything.. so why Edward got promoted and not me...UGH..!" you said to fours walls which you was trapped in.

After a while, taking bottle of wine to get yourself.....gulp and chug every last drop of wine of a red brand wine. Putting your empty bottle on table.

"Alright, work is done, and so is this wine. I've also taken my sleeping pills, and I've cried my eyes out, so.....maybe I can close my eyes and sleep...Finally can take a bit of sleep...." you said to yourself as tucked your body under the sheets.

Filled with determination, you lie down on your bed and pray that you fall asleep....however....

"Fuck...what I was expecting...?"

You lie there wide awake, feeling silly for getting your hopes up. But before you knew it, it was already 4 am.

You grind your teeth as you get up out of bed and turn your laptop back on. Sighing and feeling empty inside.

"um might as well get some more work done..."

Feeling resigned, I open up my mailbox....

"Umm? What's this??"

"Cuddle Job: Cure your insomnia with hugs!"
