"I just want to make it up to you" Michael pulls out my chair.
We're currently at a restaurant along the pier. A really nice one may I add. I like that he's trying so hard. No I love that he's trying so hard even though he doesn't really have too.
"Thanks Mikey" I stretch my hand hand to hold his.
"You deserve it" he smiles.
"What can I get you two tonight?" A waiter asks.
"Um the steak for me please" Michael tells him.
"The chicken" I smile at the waiter.
The waiter takes our orders. And it wasn't long until our food came.
I took a mouth full of my chicken, it was incredible.
"It's really nice here, how did you know about it?" I ask Michael.
"Ash told me" he smiles.
"How nice of him"
"I am really sorry Jess, I hope you know that I will never do anything like that again"
"I know, you hurt me you know that?"
"Yes I know. That's why I'm here trying fix the broken pieces. I want to be back and that place where we were happy without tension. You know the randomness and the messing around. The feelings we got when we skipped school. I want more memories like that Jess because I love you so much"
"And we can be those people again Mikey. We've just got to try, for each others sake"
"I don't mean to be an ass hole. It's just I'm on this new medication as well and it doesn't make me feel like myself."
I feel for him. I really do. He's been to hell and back. But then again so have I.
"Hey Mikey?" I smile at him.
"Yes Jess?" He smiles back.
"Remember that time on the beach when we were pouring our hearts out to each other?"
"Yeah"
"That's when I knew"
"Knew what?"
"That I loved you"
He's face brightens up in a way I can't explain.
"This date is better than our maccas one" I laugh a little too loudly that the old couple beside us stare for awhile.
"That date was quite good though. I mean when that old couple said we were in love. And now I realise that they were right. That bloody old lady was right" he laughs.
We both finish our meals and Mikey pays the bill.
We get back into the car and start to drive back.
"this has been quite the perfect night Michael. Thank you" I take ahold of his spare hand.
"The nights not over" he smiles.
I could feel my cheeks go red. Because I know what he means.
Once we were home we tip toes up stairs. So that we don't wake anyone up.
Michael pushes me on the bed and takes off his shirt. And then soon takes off my dress. He kisses my chest softly.
He looks at me and smiles.
"You're so beautiful" he kisses my lips. "Are you sure?"
I just nod my head. I'm positive I want this.
It's happening.
