CHAPTER 56

' Monday, November 3rd..."

ANNA

Today was finally the day. My mother can't seem to contain her excitement about me coming over to stay while Michael attends to work in Italy.

For the hundredth time today, my phone chimed.

"is that your mother?" Michael called out from the bathroom, a light chuckle followed shortly.

I groaned in response, putting away my clothes.

"come on, you know you are excited too" he hugged me from behind resting his chin on my head. His fresh, minty breath fanned against my exposed neck his teeth slightly grazed the area.

"don't get me wrong." I turned my head a little to look at him,

" I am happy to see her, But we both know that she's always busy. and would eventually just forget about me." I rolled my eyes, emphasizing on my last words. Michael wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close. Before walking away he left a soft kiss on my head.

When I was finished putting the last bit of my stuff into my bag. Michael started taking them downstairs. last night was perfect and i wouldn't have it any other way. I did all the packing. My bag and his for the trip he was embarking on. I wanted to make sure he had everything.

Leave it to Michael to pack?...bad idea.

  Michael and I initially woke up early today so we could spend some quality time together before we left for my parent's house. his private jet leaves tonight, so we will still have some time together at my parent's house.  just taking advantage of the last chance we get to be in each other's arms before his gone.

Last chance?

what the hell is wrong with me.

Snap out of it!

I can't help the paranoia flowing through my veins concerning this trip, so I still asked him one more time this morning if he was telling me the truth. I know I've been a pain in the butt these past few months I've been pregnant, so I just want to make sure he wasn't bailing on me.

"No" he looked up from his phone with a frown adorning his features.

so adorable!

"why would you think that..." he mumbled as he got out of bed this morning some incoherent words followed as he walked into the bathroom.

Now, it's 12 in the afternoon. Michael helped me get into the car, before going back inside to make one last check before we left the house. We are taking my car, but I'm not allowed to drive so...here I am in the passenger seat waiting patiently as I devour the ice cream I requested.

"you ready?" Michael got in the driver's seat turning on the ignition. I nodded my head as a response since my mouth was occupied. he smiled at me, taking a moment as je just stared at me before backing up out of the garage and starting the journey to my childhood home. soon, my eyes grew heavy with sleep. so I retired into a deep slumber.

****

"Hi, baby..." a deep disembodied voice called softly in my ear, a hand caressing my cheeks softly.
Stirring a little, my eyes fluttered open.

My brown orbs directly stared into two dark pools that belong to the person hovering over me. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out.

He smiled, revealing his pearly whites.

"were here my love." he moved back a bit, giving me some space. It took me a while to figure out that we were at my parent's house.

Don't blame me, my brain is still sleeping.
