"im sorry but... no."

                                    

                                          
Really short one but it will do for now
A few days ago you had gotten an email from your acting agency that you had gotten a huge role for the new murder mystery movie 
you were so excited but your excitement didn't last long 
Your boyfriend of 1 and a half years , Joseph,  was the only actor you knew and he had gotten you so many side roles because he had realized that you were very enthusiastic about acting
He was very proud of you
Usually your scenes would be done in a few weeks and you'd be back to your boyfriend 
Joseph would also go around the world for his acting and would always take you alongside him.
You now wanted to do the same
The movie was going to be shot in Germany
A place Joseph was obsessed with, he always talked about moving there and about his visits there as a kid.
Germany meant a lot to him somehow 
But this would be a permanent decision 
You'd have to be filming for more than 2 years most likely. 
You didn't want to force Joseph to come with you or anything if he didn't want to but you really really wanted him to come with you.
You decided to go to dinner first
Then tell him the news there 
It would be a lot more better like that 
Joseph was out for the day for a photo shoot
One of his pals was the photographer so he was going to get drinks with him afterwards 
So you knew he wouldn't bother you or come home earlier than 8 pm 
You checked the time from you watch
"6.30" you said to yourself 
-----
You had gotten ready and had done your makeup
You wore a dress in your favorite color and heels to match 
The dress was seductive and persuasive 
Just what you were aiming for 
You called Joseph
beep beeep
Call declined? 
weird.
You just decided to text
'Hey Joe I've got a surprise for you;)'
'Meet me at *name of resteraunt* at 9'
'Don't be late'
He'd been acting a bit too odd for the past few days and you didn't know why
You didn't question it further and called and Uber to take you there.
You entered the resteraunt and saw Joseph sitting there at the table you had reserved for the both of you, typing something on his phone 
i guess he did get the text
You got closer to the table 
And pulled your chair
"Hey" you said 
"Hey" he replied with a smile on his face as he put his phone into his back pocket
"Soo..." He said waiting for you to talk but you kind of wanted him to explain why he didn't reply or even open the phone when it was just in his hands a few seconds ago
"How was the photoshoot?" You asked calmly 
"Good.. good, How was your day?" Joseph said 
"It was fine"
You both sat silently for a while,
The waiters took your orders and  started preparing them straight away.
The question was budging you
you wanted to ask
but you didn't know if you wanted to know the answer 
Should you ask?
I mean it's maybe not even that important
Don't ask, don't ask, don't ask,
"Why didn't you answer"
Shit.
You couldn't help yourself you wanted to know!
"Hm? I'm sorry?" He looked at you confused
His brown eyes looked into yours 
"I was hoping you'd open the phone? I called"
"Oh sorry didn't think it was that important besides I was still in the middle of the photoshoot I couldn't have replied"
"Well I texted to why didn't you reply to that?" 
"Was busy but you know I saw it anyway that's what's important here right?" He smiled 
Ok he was for sure acting bitchy on purpose or something
"How is that what was important? I could've came here and waited for ages just because you didn't answer some stupid text you know? Besides-" 
"Ma'am your food" The waiter cut you right in the middle of you sentence
Joseph had saved that one but it wasn't going to be the last argument you would have with him tonight 
You both ate your food, silent again.
"Sorry" he said
"What?" 
"I said I'm sorry ,for not replying"
The silence continued 
"Are you not going to forgive me?"
"I guess I could"
"I really mean it I'm sorry"
"Fine your forgiven " 
He smiled at you 
You smiled back
it was just something about him that made you happy every time You saw him
Every single time he smiled You couldn't help yourself from smiling aswell
It went fine for the rest of the dinner 
you both talked and had long conversations 
Then he finally asked 
"So what's the occasion for this fancy dinner Miss y/n?"
"Well I was really hoping you'd ask" You said lightly smiling and putting the napkin you had just wiped your mouth with to the corner of the table 
"My agents sent me a email a few days ago"
"Yeah? bout what?"
"I got a role!" You said proudly
"Wow that's amazing!"Joseph said 
"Yeah it's just um"
"What?" Joseph's expressions turned into worry
" I have to go... to Germany and i um i want you to come with me."
Joseph's face dropped
oh dear God 
Was this bad? 
Oh no oh no  oh no
Was it a bad time to tell?
I mean you had to tell him eventually 

He stayed silent
"Joseph?" He looked into your eyes 
"Please say something" You said literally begging him 
"I- I um" he stuttered and bit his bottom lip he looked away
"I'm sorry but...no."
You were stunned 
what the hell? 
"What?" You said as your voice cracked a bit 
you could've sobbed right then and there but just forced yourself not to 
"I'm sorry I- I'm gonna go"He said as he got up from his seat, leaving you there with your face in your hands 
and like things couldn't get even worse
"Ma'am "
You lifted your head up from your hands and the waiters eyes widened looking at the mascara rolling down your face
the poor man didn't know what to do 
"The bill Ma'am its... you know what how bout I give you a sale it's  On the house" He smiled walking away 
Who could've known
such a quick decision could effect your life
so...so much.
