A MILLION WAYS TO LOVE YOU™ Book 1✔️

Chapter 9

*Michael's Point Of View *
shoot see Michael couldn't just  leave it alone,  I look around. Still trying to find my words. "I umm first I'm really really sorry I-I had no right to go through your things I truly apologize", I said looking at her than the book.  "Michael why? that's my personal journal!",  "I know I'm ashamed", I walk over to her bed and sit looking at the ground playing with my fingers. "Michael.... I don't know what to say how far did you read? please be honest", She looks at me seriously.  I get up and walk towards the book and opened the page and point to where I was. "there", I said still not looking at her. She grabs the book and goes to sit on her bed. I just watch her. "Well since you got that far... I guess I'll  read the rest,And  you can't get weirded out when I do because you brought it upon yourself to read it in the first pla-" I cut her off. "Marilyn I'm sorry you don't have to read it to me I was just   being an idiot I-", She cuts me off and starts reading where I left off.

"I wish I could tell him how I feel I know it's soon but I known him since 5th grade we just stopped talking in 9th grade. I  guess you can say we lost track. But anyways, I hope to talk to him again, Ok that's all if you want to read more just take it!", She throws the book at me and runs to her bathroom. I run after her and as soon as I almost near her she quickly closes and locks the door.I lean against the door."Marilyn I'm sorry ok I really am I was wrong, that was wrong I don't know how to fix it, please tell Me?", "Michael just leave me alone ok? ", She said between sobs. "Marilyn I'm not gonna leave 'till you are happy and I make things right", She is starts silently crying for a moment. "Michael just...please leave me alone", I sigh. "Marilyn I can't ok? I care about you too much to let a stupid thing like this mess up things, Marilyn I remember when we were kids in Mrs.Ross class and we always got into trouble together and one day you got mad at me for eating your pop rocks and I kept saying sorry for days until I realized those were mine out of my bag, we had identical bags ha-ha", I said sitting down against the door. she is just sniffling now. I smile. "I remember the time in 6th grade when I had my afro and you accidentally got super glue on your hand and when you tried to get it off you tripped and fell on my head and we were glued together for what felt like a week even though it was for only 2and a half days and they would call us Siamese twins ha;ha", She is quite for a second then starts laughing hard. "And we were called the double fro duo haha that was funny ", I smiled harder. It felt good to hear her laugh again. "Marilyn can you come out or do you want me to come in?", Silence. I hear her unlocking the door she opens it and walks out I get up and move out her way. "I can't believe you remember all of that ha-ha", She looks down then back up at me. "Yeah of course, just because I left 10th grade year doesn't mean 5 years of memory goes down the drain ha-ha", We both chuckle then just look at each other. "Marilyn what you wrote in that journal you shouldn't feel shamed again I'm sorry for reading it I-", She cuts me off. "Michael if I truly didn't want you to read it or was truly mad I wouldn't have read the rest to you a part of me is shamed and embarrassed but another part is glad I Did it like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders", She looks down. "Well then I'm glad you are not mad at me and I am happy you felt comfortable reading it to me but one question?", "y-yes Michael? ", I look at her then lifts her chin up gently  forcing her to look at me. "Do you like me?", She looks surprised then looks at the ceiling then back at me. "uhh yes Michael of course", I step closer to her and grab here hand. "I mean really like me as in boyfriend girlfriend like?", She is silent for a moment. "y-yes, yes M-Michael I do", I study her face for a minute. Then lean towards her face. She is hesitate but does the same. Our lips meet within seconds. I can taste some of her salt tears I grab her waist and pull her closer. She slowly puts her arm around my neck all without breaking the kiss. I slowly break it. wo-wow sorry I-",She cuts me off with another kiss this one filled with passion I had to back up against the wall. She breaks it making a smacking sound, "Michael stop apologizing ha-ha", "I-I can't help it", I said biting my lip. "Marilyn I never forgot you, ever, When we stopped talking it hurted me, I felt you hated Me because I left and after not talking and having bumped into you again, I know you don't and didn't hate me", "Michael why would I? it wasn't your falt","Marilyn I actually liked you since 9th grade But I was going through changes I didn't have the courage that's why I left, I found out I had vitiligo I couldn't face anyone I just had to leave which meant leaving you", She looked like she wasn't going to cry, "Michael I would have accepted you, I like you not the fact that you  Have perfect skin and a beautiful jawline or the fact that you turn red which is too cute, not the fact that you have beautiful big hands or that your hairs is just curly to perfection and not that to me you  are just pure handsomeness and pure sexiness, I like you for that little lip biting thing you do cause it's so sexy, I  like  your personality and how you give and share kindness And how you are different from other boys Michael I like you, Michael Joseph Jackson", She said all in one breath, breathing hard in my face. I was speechless. This girl had given me every reassurance I needed to know that someone see's the real me. I look at her with intensity. "Marilyn I can say the same for you, I love your smile I love how you look in a dress, I love how you Don't let your past effect your attitude, I love how inviting your presence is when I'm around you, and how you make me open up and let Me let you in when I'm ready, I love your beautiful stretch mark's, they mark on someone who has truly been in the lions den and came out stronger with the marks of glory i love when you wear your hair, and when it's wild and curls up on you I hate that you cut it but you look just as beautiful Marilyn Nicole Monroe I-I love you",......
*Marilyn's Point Of View *
Did he just say he love's me? I look at him and he is looking down nervously. He looks up like he is about to cry. I wipe a tear from his face. "Michael I love you too!", He looks up happily and I lean and kiss him then hugged him. Is he mine? is he finally mines am I ready? , These thoughts run through my mind but as of now I don't care I just want to stay and enjoy this embrace with Michael...
