Chapter 12: It's obvious babe

Knock! knock! knock! "Hey babe can I come in?" Kevin asked Mikey through the door. Even though she had just heard his voice a few minutes ago hearing it again made her miss him even more and she hurried to the door to throw it open. As soon as she opened the door she hugged him.

"I've missed you so much!" She exclaimed with such emotion you'd think they had been separated for months. "I was so worried."

"It's fine I'm alright." Kevin said still hugging her, feeling as though he never wanted to let go. "Babe we need to talk." He finally said after they just stood there for awhile savoring the moment.

"What's wrong?" She asked, already knowing the answer.

"I have powers." He bluntly said. "I know to you that's not very big since you have powers to, but i've told everyone I didn't have powers and I actually do. And I never want to lie to or keep anything from you." Kevin sat down next to her and took her hands.

Mikey smiled. "I really appreciate you telling me. I also need to admit I already new."

"What? How'd you know?" Kevin asked clearly confused.

"When I heard you were back talking to Nina Ari and I went there to find out what was going on and heard yelling from inside so we decided not to interrupt."

"But you heard it all?" Kevin asked.

"Yes, every part. I understand why you didn't want to tell anyone."

"Thanks babe." Kevin said squeezing her hand. After a few minutes just sitting there like that Kevin moved closer and wrapped his arms around her."Since you heard everything you know your grandma knows we like each other?"

Mikey giggled. "The way she made it sound ya I figured."

"So we can openly hold hands? And I can publicly hug you?" Kevin asked, hope animate in his eyes.

"Well..." She trailed off as she stood up and walked across the room, refusing to turn around and look at him she continued. "I don't want to rush anything."

"Why would that be rushing things? We already hold hands and hug. So what's the difference with doing it in secret than with people seeing us? Are you ashamed of me or something?"

"No of course not!" She hurriedly exclaimed walking back to him and taking his hand. "I just feel like maybe we're rushing things that's all."

Kevin let go of her hand. "I like you Mikey, a lot. But we're not even dating yet and you think we're rushing! I'm not going to act like i've never dated or liked anyone before because I have." Kevin walked back to her, took her hands, looked her in the eyes, and continued. "But none of those women have made me feel so strongly about anyone like I do with you."

Mikey smiled and squeezed his hand. "I'm sorry Kevin, I guess i'm just scared."

"Explain to me what you're scared about and maybe I can help."

"Kevin I, well everything i've ever had I lost. My parents were jerks that made me feel like I was worthless, like no one liked me. The only person I ever felt like I could trust was Ari. I trust you, I really do, but it's just a feeling I have that I can't shake that I'm gonna get hurt again like my parents would always hurt me."

Kevin sighed and hugged her as tight as he could as she laid her head on his shoulder. "I get it now. But I can promise you that I will never on purpose hurt you. Actually I plan to do everything in my power to make you the happiest girl on the planet.

Mikey smiled. "Thank you. I'll try to let myself trust you. I want to, I really do but..."

"I understand." Kevin interrupted. "I get how hard it can be to trust people even when you want to. But that doesn't mean i'm not going to try to make you."
