My Very First

C13:Try try and don't give up

Mikayla's POV

"Can you please sit down?" Daniel asked. I looked away portraying my disapproval.

"Ok, you won't sit. That's fine." He rubbed his neck chuckling nervously. Of course.

"One minute." I said. I didn't want to hear what he had to say simply because it would break my heart even more.

"Mikayla Mendez, you are the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me. I love you and I want you to know that I'll never leave you. Even if you want me to. Please just try and understand that I will not give up on you this time." He said causing a tear to escape from my eye.

"Daniel please stop." I asked wiping the tear away as quickly as it fell.

"No, I won't stop. I love you Mikayla. I love you today, yesterday, tomorrow and forever. I don't know when Jesus will come back but when He does, Oh the King of kings, I'll still be in love with you. I love you so much my heart burns." I laughed and cried.

Then I hugged him in which he was shocked for a second then he hugged me back soon after. "Shut up, would you. You don't even know what love is." I said into his neck.

"Maybe, but then I know God and He is love so I love you." He said twirling me in the hug.

I pulled back and wiped my tears. "I can't, I want to, trust me but I can't." I said facing the ground.

"Why? Why, Mikayla? It's not everyday that you find someone whom you love and want to spend your forever with." He said tilting my chin to face him and look at his Hazel eyes.

"Because it's not that easy! God! Why won't you get it?" I yelled.

"Because! It would have been better if you said you didn't love me but we both know that's not true. So, until you tell me what makes us being together so 'not easy', I won't get it." He yelled back.

"Your dad threatened me, okay. He told me bluntly that if I don't severe all ties with you then he'll manipulate my sister's career. I love you Daniel with all that's in me, trust me. But I can't jeopardise my sister's career. It means so much to her and thus so much to me. Please try to understand." I finally blurted the truth out.

"He did what?!" He spat. His face was red and he looked fumed with anger. "He has absolutely no right to make such decisions! It's my life!" He slammed a piano. I shrieked and reached out to touch his arms.

"Calm down, Dan." He eased at my touch and that involuntary made me blush. I love him ok!

"I'm okay, I'm just mad." He said cupping my cheek.

"I know. And it's okay to be mad. That's why I channel my anger into songs or prayer. You know? The Bible in Psalm speaks of David who was attacked by his enemies and he channels it all into songs and poem." I said in which he chuckled.

"That's absolutely beautiful. The channelling thing and your face." He said causing me to heat up in his touch.

"Okay, stop. This is too.....cheesy. Look at my face, I feel like a tomato." I said nervously.

He laughed. "Okay fine, we have to eat anyway."

"But wait. For the last time.....what are we?" I gathered the courage to ask.

"Mikayla Mendez, will you be my girlfriend? I know you're scared and so am I.....but my mom taught me that when you are with the ones you love you can handle anything....even controlling parents. Please." He said holding my hand.

I exhaled sharply, "With the help of Elohim, our wonderful Creator, yes. I'll be your girlfriend without any fears holding me back. I love you Daniel Johnson." I said intertwining our fingers together and planting a kiss on his cheek.
