It will always be you and I.

Chapter 51

Eileen's POV

"I still can't believe that I'm in Croatia." I tell Micah as Diego drives us to the famous town called Split and I can't stop gazing at it.

"Should I pinch you to make sure you're not dreaming?" He grins playfully making me laugh at his silliness.

"We're here Sir." Diego says as he stops the car .

"Okay cool, thanks we'll see you later." Micah says as he steps out of the car then gets to my side and opens the door. I thank him then take his hand and step out as the warm air hits my face. I decided to wear something light since it's very sunny today so a pair of light blue denim shorts that fall comfortably mid thigh with a white linen blouse paired with my Birkenstock sandals had to do the job and Micah just decided to add a white T-shirt to his shorts, he wanted to match with me.

"We're going to take a walk around. That's cool with you?" Micah asks as he wraps his arm around my waist and we walk down the street.

"I'm cool with that." I look up at him and he kisses my cheek.

"Cool."

The old town is made for wandering since it has narrow stone streets twisted between ancient buildings draped with flower boxes. We just begin to walk through the street without any sense of direction and I feel so relaxed.

Micah takes his hand off my waist and holds my hand instead since the street is so narrow that we keep bumping into people.
"Babe let's check out that store." I tell Micah as I pull him towards a store that appears to sell hats and caps. We get inside and we're the only ones in with the attendant.

"Hello, you're welcome." The attendant says with a heavy accent politely as I look around.

"Thank you." I reply and pull out one hat and turn to Micah who is awfully quiet.
"You okay?" I place my hand on his chest.

"I am." He says softly but I don't believe him so I just let it go for now until we leave the shop. I pick out a hat for both Micah and I which he pays for and we leave the store.

"Come on." Micah says as we head to a small icecream shop and he orders for the both of us and we continue to walk .

"Babe, tell me what is going on?" I stop him as we get to a corridor that doesn't have many people.

He looks down at his icecream then back at me . "I didn't like the way that man at the store was looking at you. And I'm not saying this out of jealous or something because I trust you one hundred percent but him looking at you that way just messed with me. I feel like an idiot for even saying that."

"Micah, you know that you can't stop people from staring right?"

"I know."

"Then you should know that I couldn't tell that he was staring in a certain way." I tell him and he pulls me into a hug and I kiss his lips.

"Thank you." He says shyly then proceeds to eat his icecream.

"Anytime baby." I reply and we continue to walk around.

Micah keeps buying random snacks that I happily devour and it's safe to say that we've eaten whatever street food and snacks we kept coming across. I like seeing Micah relaxed and free. At some point, he took his shirt off since it's extremely hot and I get to randomly touch him.

As evening approaches, we find a small restaurant overlooking the ocean . The sunset has painted the sky in shades of gold and pink. We take a seat next to the window.

"Babe." Micah looks at me and he places his phone on the table as the other hand is absently tracing patterns on my stomach.
"Maybe this is exactly where we're supposed to be." I tell him and look back at the beautiful sunset.
