Mystery Angel ( Book 3)

Chapter 26

It was still early in the morning. Michael had his arms wrapped around Jessie as she slept. He slowly trailed his fingers down her arms. Michael had so many things going through his mind, especially what he was going to say to Jessie later in the day. Michael thought of a proper way to explain his decision to Jessie. He sighed and shut his eyes. He prayed everything would go on well.

A few hours later, Michael felt Jessie move. He opened his eyes and looked down at Jessie. He watched her shuffle closer to him and pressed her face to his sides. "I can't see anything," Jessie mumbled. 

"That's because you have your face buried in my side.” Michael snickered and moved a little.

He watched Jessie slowly open her eyes, and he smiled brightly at her. "Good morning."  

"Good morning. I don't feel like getting up," Jessie groaned and shuffled closer to Michael.

"You don't have to get up if you don't want to," Michael said.

"No, I have to get up." 

Michael watched Jessie untangle herself from him and sat up straight on the bed. He watched her slowly stand up from the mattress and make her way towards the bathroom, but she stopped and turned to look at Michael.

"Is everything okay?" he asked.

Jessie nodded her head, but she still didn't go into the bathroom. Michael waited for her to speak, but she looked reluctant to say what was on her mind.

"What is it, Jess?"

"Would you like to join me in the bathroom?"

Michael's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect what came out of Jessie's mouth. Michael wondered if he really wanted to join her. He looked at Jessie and saw her playing with her hair.

"If you don't want to, it's okay." Jessie didn't want to pressure Michael into doing what he wasn't ready for. She turned to leave, but Michael stood up quickly. He held her hands and stopped her from moving. 

"I would love to join you." Michael led the way to the bathroom and shut the door. He didn't have any idea what he should do. He didn't know if he should take off his clothes or not. 

Michael watched Jessie tug her clothes away. He couldn't help but stare at her as she got rid of her outfit. 

Jessie looked at Michael when she was done putting away every piece of clothing from her body. She was not shy about herself. She looked at Michael with expectation in her eyes. "Take off your clothes." 

Michael nodded his head and did what he was told.

"You are beautiful." Jessie stepped closer. She ran her fingers down his chest and placed a kiss on his lips.

"You are beautiful too." Michael pulled her closer and trailed kisses on her neck. He turned on the shower and wrapped his arms around her body.

Michael enjoyed the moment. He couldn't believe he had Jessie all to himself. He had always believed he would remain alone forever, but everything had changed, and he was grateful. Michael kissed her on the forehead and closed his eyes as he enjoyed the shower.

When they were done bathing, they left the bathroom. Jessie quickly picked out her outfit while Michael waited for her.

"Are you done?"  

Jessie nodded her head and took Michael's hand, and they made their way downstairs.

"I was about to send Sunshine to come to get you guys," Elena said as Jessie and Michael joined them at the dining table.

'Thank God she didn't come. She would have interrupted our intimate moment.' Michael looked at Jessie, and he could tell she was thinking the same. He smiled at her as they took their seats.
