35.

"honey, come here," mike took el off her chair and pulled her into his office.

"what is it?" el asked with a small smile as he shut his door then pressed the passcode into the secret room.

"why are you taking me here? this is your room,"

he shrugged as she looked around and he went to open up his safe.

when she turned back to face him with her full attention, she gasped quietly when she saw what was in his hands.

"mike.." she whispered, seeing the silver jewellery in his hands. "fuck, i love you,"

he smiled, "i got someone to put on this click so it'll never drop easily. now you can wear your parents jewellery without worry, baby. i got your ring tightened just a little too." he told her softly, "now turn around and i'll put it on you,"

she squealed quietly and turned around for him to put on the necklace.

he leaned down to her neck, placing on the necklace before kissing the back of her neck, "you're stunning, honey. fucking stunning as hell,"

"go look," he whispered then turned the mirror in the closet door to face her and he watched as a smile broke out on her face.

"thank you for doing this," she whispered and turned to kiss him, "thank you, thank you, thank you," she held his face, "i love you so much,"

he grinned, "say that again,"

she chuckled and whispered against his lips, "i love you so darn much, mr wheeler."

"i love you too, honey," he murmured and picked her up to lay her against the wall, "beautiful, beautiful girl,"

before he could lean in, she pressed a finger to his lips, "as much as i love where this is heading, i have to go."

his eyebrows furrowed. "where?"

"ballet," she told him, "final rehearsals.."

"oh,"

she gave him a small smile as she caressed the sides of his face, "don't worry, i'll be back home by seven and you can do all the things you want to do with me," she leaned in to his ear to whisper.

he groaned, hitting his head down to her shoulder, "hell fucking yes."

she smiled and kissed his forehead, "okay, put me down, you can walk me to the car."

he grunted something and just carried her out, "i like you like this more."

"why are you still awake?" mike asked which made el jump lightly at the sudden voice.

her head was laid on his bare chest with his arm around her body whilst he slept but she was still wide awake.

"did i wake you?" she asked.

"how?" he voice was a tired mumble, "i was wondering why you weren't asleep yet,"

"i'm okay. just a little nervous for the performance, is all. how'd you know i was awake?" she asked, turning to rest her chin on his chest to look up at him.

"because you mumble things when you are asleep."

"i do?" her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

he laughed, "yes, honey. sometimes you ask me to hold you or kiss you. sometimes you say things 'bout your dream."

"oh.."

he chuckled and played with her hair, "yeah. now do you wanna talk about it so you can sleep better?"
