*Alicia's POV*

"Honey I'm back" I step into my room hoping not to find Aiden sprawled across the sofa, glued to his phone just like how I left him hours ago to hit the gym. (But yup there he is....how I wish I'd be wrong just this once) I said to myself

I've been working my ass off at the gym for the last three months and I've been getting a lot of compliments lately from everyone except my boyfriend, he doesn't seem to care, heck I bet he didn't even notice I left the house earlier. typical Aiden

"Aiden if this relationship is going to work some things need to change" I said seething in anger

"Uh-huh" that's all he said

"Are you even listening to what I'm saying" I said getting frustrated with his behavior

"Yeah. Hahaha. Cool" he said not looking up from his phone, it is crystal clear to see that he's attention belongs to the warzone happening on the screen.

"You know what's worse than being ignored by your boyfriend? It's having him pretend he's listening when really his mind is a thousand miles away" I slump down on the sofa next to Aiden feeling exasperated. "Aiden it's high time we talk about our relationship"

"Oh hi babe, where have you been? I called out for you just now to bring me a beer from the fridge but the house was totally silent" he said looking at me

"I went to the gym I told you before I left" I said.

There is silence as Aiden's focus reverts to his phone. I am fuming now with anger, without thinking I snatch the phone away from him in a desperate bid to get his attention.

"I'm tired of having to fight for your attention all the time, all you care about is your video games. I've spent two years trying to make this relationship work while you just don't give a damn". i said fuming now and if i was a cartoon then smoke would definitely be coming out of my ears.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Do you have to bring this up now when I'm in the middle of watching possibly the best gameplay of the year, give me back my phone" he said in anger

"You've been at it for hours Aiden" I said matching his anger

Before Aiden leaps up to wrestle his phone back from my hands, I toss it back on the sofa

"Damn it now I have to rewind the video to watch what I've missed. Thanks a lot Alicia" he said getting his phone

"Whatever Aiden I'm done with this, I'm getting ready to go out for lunch with dad" I said going to the closet, leaving Aiden who is lost again in his phone

(I can't believe I've wasted two years with this spoiled man child. He never really cares about my feelings....infact he doesn't seem to care much about anything except for his stupid video games. Also there's the issue in the bedroom, our sex life had been quite 'modest' and that's me just being generous. I know I'm quite inexperienced but Aiden is the only man I've ever slept with. Maybe it's time for me to explore what's out there, find a guy who keeps me up on my toes) I said to myself while getting ready.

After an hour I head out to the living room to search for my dad Richard.

"There's my baby girl" he said smiling

"Hi dad you're looking very sharp" I said

"Thank you darling, Sophia bought me this outfit" he said
