"I do." Those two words that May said the day she married Caleb will be forever imprinted into the back of his mind. Caleb strolled down the centre aisle of the barn, a boquet of May's favorite flowers tucked beneath an arm. His lips were pursed, whistling the lyrics of Thompson Square's song, "Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not?" A hopeful grin was plastered across the man's face as he began reminiscing on the day he proposed to May. It was the perfect day in Virgina; birds were singing, the sky was blue, the grass was green and May was with him. He took her on a date to her favorite ice cream parlor, buying her the biggest cone possible and piled it high with her ice cream of choice. As soon as they exited the parlor, ice cream in Caleb's hand, he shoved the ice cream in her face; rubbing it all over her nose and cheeks. Of course, May shrieked in disbelief that Caleb did such a thing. He looked down at her, hair in two loose, curly pig tails framed her annoyed face perfectly. Caleb roared with laugher, proceeding to kiss away the ice cream from his perturbed girlfriends face. "Caleb Scott Thompson!" May squealed his name in delight as he playfully cleaned the ice cream up.
Their day was followed by a good ol' southern candle lit dinner in a French gazebo next to a lake filled with swans and lily pads with candles on them. Caleb was not your usual romantic, so May had a hunch that something had to have been up. The first question she asked him was, "Who did you kill?" Which was followed by a playful slap on his shoulder. Caleb threw his arms up, "How come I can't do anything romantic without you questioning whether I did something bad or not?" He grinned, trying to hold up that angry front he was showing her. Of course, once he questioned May, she shoved him playfully, insisting that she was only joshing him and really appreciated the length he went to make that day special and the proceeded giving him a hug.
Caleb smiled at May as she looked at him, bright eyed. "Close your eyes, May." He whispered into her ear, waiting to get down on a knee. As soon as May's eyes were shut, Caleb pulled a red, velvet box out of his back pocket and quietly opened it, revealing a large diamond resting on a white gold band. May pouted, "Caleb! It better not be a puppy or horse. We have enough animals!" She shouted, terrified to open her eyes whenever he would give her the okay to do so. Caleb clamped a hand over the rumbustious girl's mouth, "Shh! It's a surprise. Now be quiet." he whispered, humor in his voice from May's worried words over pets. Caleb repositioned himself, propping the glimmering stone's case in his palm. A excited sigh escaped his anxious lips before he spoke, "Open your eyes, May."
His eyes lit up as she gasp, clutching her mouth with those soft hands. Caleb lips curled, a warm smile was plastered to his face as he got ready to speak, "May Allie Smith, will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?" He dropped his head for a moment, catching his breath as his heart pounded into his throat. Caleb kept his eyes on May as she sat there, hands still cupped over her mouth. A traitor tear rolled down May's cheek and Caleb raised his index finger to her face, catching the tear. "So, is that a yes?" He questioned the speechless May. She finally dropped her hands, managing to squeak out what was obviously a "yes" as she began nodding her head while wiping away tears with her palms. Alex heaved out a relieved sigh, nervous hands shook wildly as he slipped the ring on her finger. He slipped the ring box into his back pocket. Caleb stood up, still holding May's hand. He kissed her firmly before whispering "forever." into her ear. That was one of the greatest nights in Caleb's life.
His boots thudded against the hay covered concrete floor as he neared the office. A smug grin curled his lips as a loose finger began stroking one of the soft, velvety flowers. Caleb drew in a deep breath, raising a fist to the door. He knocked quietly, composing himself. It had been a whopping six days that Caleb and May have gone without talking. Their last fight really did it and Caleb was forced to sleep at another instructor's apartment. Stupid idea to leave his key to the apartment in the apartment. The man's lips vibrated as he blew air from his mouth, rocking back and forward on his heels. "C'mon May..."

Sometimes May wondered if she made the right decision to accepting Caleb's proposal the night he asked her to marry him. She was in love, or at least thought she was. Caleb was well is such a beautiful person to her. The only thing is, he always seems to want to fight and have nothing to do with her. How things were now and back then were completely different. Sometimes she wondered if he even wanted to be with her anymore with the way he acted towards her all the time. May felt as if he hated her or regreted everything about his decision to marry her. Just these thoughts hurt her. Whenever he would speak with her it was as if he was speaking at her not with her, like she was a child or something. All she wanted was for the man she married to love her again, to show her he still wants her around. Maybe that was just too much to ask anymore.
Just a couple days ago the Thompson's had a fight in the apartment they recently moved into. It was a small fight that erupted into a massive thing. They were arguing about her sister and some things were just said and then BAM! May told him to get out and locked the door. Under her breath she told herself she wished she never married him but didn't say it very loud. The way he always blew up at her made her scared the man might hit her. He has a bad temper it seemed like when they fought. He was so different before they got married. It was like he was disgusted with her. When Caleb left and May had the cabin alone, she broke down into tears begging for God to help her. She was so lost and confused and just didn't know where to go from here. Caleb was the only thing she had here at Gemara Manor. She couldn't lose the one thing in her life that was special. But it seemed like they were only hanging on by threads.
After sitting in her cabin for a couple days and not hearing from her husband, May went to work and went on with her usual chores and business. She knew she would probably not see Caleb around the barn so didn't really think about it. May began talking to more of the younger riders and just making friends. She was their barn manager and she wanted to get to know them and their horses. However, ever since the fight with Caleb, May had been lusting for attention and the mans touch. It had been so long since her own husband touched her like he used to and she only longed for that again. Was he disgusted with her? Were the talks of having a baby out the window now? May had no idea what he wanted anymore. She wasn't about to bring it up with him either.
Today was a slow day and May was sitting in her office doing some paperwork when she heard a soft knock at the door. Having been talking to people all morning and people coming in and out of her office she thought nothing of it and called out softly to the person on the other side of the door, "It's open." Her eyes not leaving the paper she was working on she waited for the person to enter her office.
"speech"
thought.

Ears caught the soft tone of May's voice, turning the knob ever so slightly. A hesitant Caleb slid solemnly into the office, May's back facing him. He held out a boquet of flowers, "May.." A frustrated sigh escaped his rough lips, hand rubbing his brows. "I'm sorry sweetheart." His voice changed from the usual harsh tone to that of a wounded animal. It took a lot for Caleb to do what he just did. Hell, the man can't even remember when the last time he ever said sorry was. That word burned his tongue like batter acid when the word began to form in his throat.
A half hearted smile emerged from the pout, "I got your favorite flowers." He whispered, motioning to the fresh cut floral arrangement that he special ordered two nights ago as he plotted his apology to a tee. Bare teeth shown as they bit down on Caleb's lower lip. He felt his heart pounding into his throat and through his skull. Anxious butterflies frenzied in the pit of his stomach as he waited for May to acknowledge his existence. He wouldn't hold it against May if she never wanted to speak to him again. He's been a horrible husband since they've gotten married.
Caleb can't exactly put a finger on what it was that ruined his and May's marriage. The thing he remembered most about it was that since the five months after they married, nothing but arguments would erupt between them. First, they started off as silly arguments, leading to the make up sex which Caleb lusted after. He eventually began starting tiny arguments here and there just to get May into bed with him. One thing led to another and the arguments became worse each and every time. Soon, the two couldn't even look at each other with shouting an insult.
Why? Why couldn't Caleb have a stable life? It seemed that Karma and her almighty band of evil were hell bent on ruining the farm boy's life. He was nothing but good. He made all A's in school. Was the quarter back of his high school football team. Went to college. Married. Divorced. Met May and married her. Now, their marriage is on the rocks. Can the poor man ever get a single break? It appears not. Caleb had everything planned out. Him and May were going to get a big plantation house on fifty plus acres and run a show barn. They were going to have kids who would carry on the Thompson name and legacy of great horsemen. Now, that dream seemed far out of reach as was never going to happen.
