I had just walked int the house having gotten home from work when I looked and saw Mickey look like he was thinking about something and lost in thought.
I hung my key up slipped off my shoes and headed over to him.
"Whats wrong baby?" I asked as I raked some of his hair back.
"Why are you with me?" he asked
"Cause I love you" I replied
"I know that. but the shit my dad tried, the shit you had experienced with me that alone should've had you running for the hills" he says
I straddled his lap and grabbed his face having him look at me.
"You know when I want something or this case someone I will not give up till I have them. You being who I want I didn't give up. I went through hell with you and I'm gonna stay with you till you no longer want me. this relationship and maybe someday soon marriage will be a chance of redemption." I tell him
"Would you want a family with me knowing how mine is?" he asked
"You are your own person Mickey. and regardless of how your family is it will not affect how you are. yeah, I'd love to experience parenthood with you. But I will not force you to be a dad" I tell him
He doesn't say anything for a minute.
"I just don't want to be like Terry" he says
"If you was you would had beaten me plenty of times by now. you would've forced me to have sex with you. but you never have done any of that. so that alone shows that you're nothing like him. you treat me with so much love and respect that I am beyond happy. Not once had you made me regret our relationship. I've never feared being abused or anything done against my will with you." I tell him
"I may have been raised shitty but I'll never abuse you, raise my hand to you in an abusive or violent manner, I'll never treat you like shit or disrespect you. " he says
"I know that Mickey. I trust you with my life " I tell him
he nods his head.
I cup his cheeks and give him a soft yet passionate kiss.
"I love you baby" he says
"and I love you too darlin" I replied
he gives me more kisses before wrapping me in his arms and holding me close.
