Now life was a gamble

My card was declined when I went to withdraw the money to pay the rent on the apartment for another few days and initially I thought it was a problem with the bank so I returned to the apartment to call them. Valeri was sat in front of my laptop and focussed on a tennis match so I was told to keep quiet for a moment when I started to talk on entering the room. I went into the bedroom rang the bank and was on hold to the bank when he entered the bedroom shortly after. He asked who I was on the phone to and I explained that I was calling the bank as my card was declined at the cash machine. He left the room and went back to his tennis match without a care in the world knowing full well that I would be aware in no time that he had taken the money.

When I put the phone down to the bank, now fully aware of what he had done, I just sat on the bed in total disbelief and I couldn't even find the words to express how I was feeling which was a mixture of disappointment, despair, disgust, hurt and anger. All of which I felt like I could not express to him exactly how I wanted to for fear of his reaction. I just cried and then felt like I had to get out of there for a bit.
As I entered the lounge he looked at me and I knew that he was now fully aware that I knew... he just said sorry! I just said why? Then I walked out trying to hold back the tears!

He came after me but not in an aggressive manner as I think he was worried that I was finally leaving him. I asked him to leave me alone as I needed some space but he kept saying he wanted to explain why he had done it which I was not interested to hear so I kept walking.

Valeri did not let up and was pleading with me to talk to him.. "please Tammy, let me explain why. I did it for us! Dont leave me please"

I couldnt take anymore and I let him have it! I screamed at him to leave me alone and to let me fucking breathe for once! I was not angry but hurt which I think he realised and that scared him as he knew he had pushed me too far this time as my reaction was that of a person who had finally had enough and that was exactly how I felt. He let me go but he asked me to promise him that I would come back and let him explain when I had cooled off and that he promised me it wasnt all bad and that he hoped he could explain why to me later.

I just walked away without saying a word and he let me go thankfully.
