TO LATE FOR US
A tears of cake
He cracked eggs into a bowl, whisking carefully.
A scoop of flour, a pinch of sugar.
Slowly, the smell of pineapple filled the air.
For the first time in his life, he was baking… for her.
*Smiling talking to himself almost bouncing little bit nervous*
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
Okay… okay… first time ever making this… I hope she loves it… oh gosh, I really hope it turns out perfect… eggs are fluffy, flour is perfect… pineapple chunks are just right… she’s going to love this… she has to love this… right?!
It was late at night, the living room glowing softly under the warm yellow lights. The cake sat beautifully on the table, its sweet fragrance filling the air. Plates, candles, and little decorations were neatly arranged, showing the effort he had put in. He kept glancing at the clock, heart racing, his hands restless on his lap. Both his and her family were seated around, whispering and exchanging knowing smiles. Yet his eyes… they were fixed only on the door, waiting for her to step in.
The door creaked open and she walked in, still in her usual comfy pants and a plain T-shirt, a mask covering half her tired face. It was clear she had just come from outside, the faint chill of the night clinging to her. She wasn’t expecting anything different—just another ordinary moment—until her eyes slowly moved across the room, catching the sight of her family, his family… and him, waiting with that nervous smile beside the cake.
Angelina Jolie/ Blackwood (FL)
Uh… what’s going on? Do we have some kind of dinner party today? Why is everyone gathered here like this?
Her tone was casual, almost indifferent. Not even a flicker of realization crossed her face. She didn’t notice the cake, the decorations, or the anxious way he looked at her. She didn’t remember… not her own birthday, not his effort, not anything that had brought everyone together that night.
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
Love… I think you’ve forgotten… it’s your birthday. Happy birthday, love.* tries to smile*
Angelina Jolie/ Blackwood (FL)
Oh… it’s today? Seriously? I didn’t even realize.
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
You didn’t realize? I’ve been waiting the whole day just to see that smile of yours when you walk in.
Angelina Jolie/ Blackwood (FL)
*Awkward smile* Well… sorry, I guess. I had so much on my mind, I didn’t think about
Adam blackwood (FL husband father)
*Softly, trying to ease the mood* Dear, we all were waiting together. It’s not just about the day—it’s about the love behind it.
Angelina Jolie/ Blackwood (FL)
*Glances at everyone, uncomfortable* I mean… birthdays are just another day, right? Why make it so big?
Leo Jolie (FL uncle)
*Sternly *Just another day? He spent the entire evening preparing this for you. Don’t you see the effort?
Angelina Jolie/ Blackwood (FL)
*Sighs looking at the cake* You made all this? …You really didn’t have to.
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
Didn’t have to?* laughs softly, voice cracking* But i needed to.Because you mean that much to me.
Allergic
Angelina Jolie/ Blackwood (FL)
Are you sad
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
Huh
Angelina Jolie/ Blackwood (FL)
Don’t be sad. I’ll cut the cake, at least. You remembered my birthday, and you thought of arranging all this… that alone matters.
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
*little guilty but happy*
Angelina Jolie/ Blackwood (FL)
Thank you for remembering my birthday and preparing all this
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
You don’t have to thank me. You’re my wife it’s my duty to give you everything I can.
Angelina Jolie/ Blackwood (FL)
Wife hmm..
She cut the cake and served everyone, but didn’t take a bite herself.
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
I.... I made this cake for you… please, just one bite… won’t you? *hopefully*
Angelina Jolie/ Blackwood (FL)
I am allergic to pineapple sorry*left from there*
It Wasn’t a grand party—just her, her husband, his father, and her uncle and aunt. But soon, everyone left and she went upstairs.
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
*tear fall*She’s… allergic to pineapple? I didn’t even know… not even something so simple. How could I have missed this? I’ve failed her again…
Adam blackwood (FL husband father)
Alex it's fine
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
It's not we are married for almost 3 years we have 1 years old son but still I can't even get her love
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
At this point, I’ve accepted that she will never love me.
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
Dad, it hurts… she’s my wife. It’s not like she’s cheating or doing anything wrong she fulfills her duties as a wife but that’s not the same as love.
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
Dad, am I being selfish for longing for her love, her care? Or is it that I’m jealous of my own son because he receives her love, while all I get is care from a lifeless body?*crying*
Adam blackwood (FL husband father)
Alex * teary eyes*
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
I thought if I held on, if I never divorced her, if I kept trying and cherishing her, maybe one day she’d love me… but instead, I ended up losing my own heart along the way. * sobbing*
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
If I were to die… would she, just for a moment, look at me not with those empty eyes, but like a normal person even if only for a second? *put his head on Edward shoulder*
Adam blackwood (FL husband father)
*Eyes widen* Alex *shout* are you an idiot don't forget if something happens to you then everyone me, your son, the women you love your wife everyone would be in danger.
Adam blackwood (FL husband father)
Alex trust me give her some space hmm.
Adam blackwood (FL husband father)
Everything will be fine okay
Alexander Blackwood (FL husband)
Yes everything will be fine *went upstairs with teary eyes*
