My Darkest Love

Chapter 50

I wish I could write to you in words that best described how I felt about Micah. He made my heart swell with such fondness. It was pleasant to have him there beside me. The way home felt like it took hours but honestly, we enjoyed each other's company for the time being. Micah drove below the speed limit and took the scenic routes. We played all kinds of hits on his Bluetooth that connected to the radio. Once we got home, we both waited a few minutes for the downpour outside to calm so they didn't get wet again. Despite it being rain, they both needed a hot shower. Soon enough the rain calmed so they could leave the car. Micah unlocked the front door, and we entered the living room which smelled so much like lemons. He had a favorite scent I take it. "You always have it smelling so lovely in your home." I spoke. Micah chuckled and set his coat aside on the hook by the door. "I always loved the smell of citrus." Micah responded with a hint of sarcasm almost. I chucked with him and offered to buy him other scents to try out if it was getting too much. We both kicked off our shoes and entered the kitchen where Micah began to make tea for both of them. I took a seat at the table and rested my feet up on the other chair. "You know Luca, I'm glad we are okay. But I do need to set some ground rules if we decide to continue this relationship." Micah voice sounded stern and his expression flattened. He was serious and I fixed myself in the chair as I sat up. "Of course. What would you like?"

"I think we should air out any problems we may have with each other and talk about it." Micah turned to face me this time as he finished pouring water into the teapot and turning on the stove. "Micah..I know I'm not the greatest and I've lied which I promise to fix and continue to be more honest about myself and my life with you." Micah heard and took a seat next to me before tapping his legs for me to reposition my legs on his. "Luca, I do trust you but it's hard to understand your attachment to Malachi. He is always in your life one way or another, and I offered sharing if you were into that kind of thing but now not so much. I don't want to share. I want to have you by myself."

"I want you too Micah. More than anything else. Malachi was just someone who showed interest in me but for all the wrong reasons. He just wanted my body, and I let take advantage. More times than I care to have. I fucked up yes but my life is changed now. I want you more than anything and that will never change." Micah pulled my chair closer, and our heads rested against one another for a mere moment. "I love you so much Luca. I hope things get better for us soon. We will work on this together and forget Malachi. Anytime he tries to come back, I'll fight by your side." That was all it took for me to kiss him. To let my lips expel my feelings. 

The End of Book 1 

I appreciate all the kind messages and likes. I really love this story and it's not over for Luca and Micah. Even Malachi gets his happy ending soon. I will begin with book 2 shorty. Thank you all so much for reading.
