Michael had awoken from a very hard night. It took him a second to figure out where he was. He had spent the night at the hospital. A nurse came in with breakfast, some pain killers and good news. "You get to go home today" she said happily." "Where is Bella? Is she ok?" He asked. "She is at home and is fine." She answered. "You'll get to see her today." May about two o'clock, Michael was taken home. When he got in the door, he didn't see or hear any sign of life. He looked around and then went to his room. He looked in expecting to find Bella, but she was absent. He checked her room, and to his surprise, found her still asleep in her bed. He walked over to her and got in bed behind her. She had quickly awoke and turned around to find Michael in her bed. He had expected her to just be worried and hug him, and get up. But Bella had something completely different in mind. She saw him and crashed her lips against his. She wrapped her arms around him, being sure to to hurt him. Michael was shocked at what she had done. This wasn't like Bella but he didn't care. He put his arms on her hips to pull her closer to him. After he had done so, he kept one arm around her waist and one hand on her back. Bella had never done something this bold, but she never wanted it to end. After she had felt like she was close enough to him, she pulled back and then put her head against his chest. She cried and hugged him like she would never see him again. "Michael. I'm so sorry. I didn't know that he was here. I never wanted you to get hurt." She sobbed. Michael hugged her and said in a soothing voice, "Bella, this is not your fault. It was his. And I know you Bella so I know that you're thinking that I shouldn't have gotten mixed up and saved you." "But Bella I want you to listen to me," He gently put his hand on her face and had her look at him. "You are the most important thing in the world to me. I can't and won't live without you. You are my reason for existing. You are my world Bella. My life." She just hugged him and cried. "Michael?" She whispered just barely loud enough for him to hear. "Hmm?" He asked. "I" she paused to gather her words. She looked directly into his beautiful green eyes. "I love you". When he has heard this, he just looked at her. He felt as if he was going to cry. He just kissed her for a couple seconds. Then he rested his head against hers. "Do you have the slightest idea, of how long I have waited for you to say those words?" "Bella, I love you too." After a couple minutes, Bella asked Michael a question. "Can I ask you a question?" "Anything" he said. "Umm. Can we go to your room. I like it better in there " she admitted as she looked down. "Of course we can." He half laughed. Bella was going to get up, but Michael had already had her in his arms. For a moment, a he questioned her weight to himself. 'Did she get lighter?' He shook it off. As he walked to his room, Bella protested against what he was doing. "Michael put me down. I'm too heavy and you are hurt. "Say another word about being too heavy and I'll drop you. And I'm hurt in the corner of my face. And it will be gone in a day or two." He said. After they had gotten in his bed, he did what he did every other night. When Bella was about to fall asleep, Michael had said something that would stay in Bella's thoughts. "I love you. Always have. Always will." "I love you too". With that, they both fell asleep and slept until the next morning. For the first time in forever, both Michael and Bella had a change in sleep. In the past it was nightmares. Since they met, they did have dreams, but nothing special. But that night they did dream. And it was spectacular.
