Michael

Chapter Thirteen: Never You

Jess is sitting by the ocean, staring at it. She gets up and heads inside. She goes over to the bed to check on Michael but he wasn't there

Jess: Michael?

He comes out of the bathroom shirtless. He had a towel wrapped around his waist while drying his hair. It was like nothing had ever happened to him. He was back to the way he was

Michael: What's up?

She couldn't help but stare

Jess: Umm just checking to see if you're okay

He smiles

Michael: I'm great actually

Jess: Good...well I'll let you change but if you need anything I'll be outside

She quickly walk away and goes halfway to the ocean. She starts laughing while blushing because she felt embarrassed

Jess: in her head: Oh man nice chest for an angel, didn't think they could get built like that... Oh shit I hope he didn't hear me

Michael: Too late!

She turns around and sees him. He was fully dressed and folding his arms while smirking

Jess: Damn, you dress fast

He smiles and walks over to her

Michael: So you think I have a nice chest huh?

She blushes more

Jess: Pssh I didn't say that, you're hearing things

He laughs to himself

Michael: You can come inside now unless you want to fantasize about my chest some more

She laughs then starts walking to the house as he followed

Jess: How's your chest by the way?

He smirks

Michael: Do you want me to just take my shirt off for you? You know, so you can stare at it

Jess: I was talking about the mark silly

He laughs then pulls his shirt down, it's gone

Jess: Must be nice to just heal like that

Michael: You can keep looking at it if you want

She playfully hits his shoulder

Jess: Shut up Michael

Michael: Aww is your face turning red?

Jess: Maybe

He laughs

Michael: Oh by the way I'm sorry for grabbing your hand like that and startling you

Me: No worries Michael but I was scared when your eyes, ears, and nose started bleeding plus your eyes were pitch black

He looks down

Michael: Yeah

She grabs his hand. He keeps his head down but his eyes look at her

Jess: Are you going to tell me what's going on?

He let's out a sigh

Jess: You've always told me everything, good and bad. And I've told you everything

Michael: I know. I promise I'll tell you but not right now

Jess: Can you at least tell me where you disappeared to?

He points up

Michael: He called me

Jess: What?

Michael: He actually came down here to talk to me. Didn't think he had it in him

Jess: I'm surprised he didn't just forcefully take you back

Michael: Me to but he was testing me

Jess: Are we in danger?

He puts his hands on her shoulders

Michael: We're safe here. No one but us knows about this place

She smiles

Jess: I believe you

They stare into each other's eyes

Michael: Jess

Jess: Michael

Michael: There's something I've been wanting to tell you

Jess: What's up?

Michael: I'm just going to ask; have you ever um been with another human?

She shakes her head

Jess: I have not. Have you been with another angel?

He looks down then looks back at her

Michael: I have. Up there we're forced to mate with our kind... Well I should say they become our mates

She was trying not to laugh because he said "mate" he sounded so adorable saying it

Michael: And have a bond between us until death

Jess: Oh... so you actually have someone up there?

Michael: Yes but we were never close like how you and me are

Jess: Does she know about us?

He nods

Michael: She understood

Jess: Wait; so you left an angel for me? She's probably beautiful but you left an angel for me? A human?

He puts his hands on her cheeks

Michael: There's only one human that I can't live without and I know that I truly want to be with until death. She was never you Jessica

Jess: Really?

He smiles and nods

Michael and Jess: I love you

They look at each other in shock then smile big. He grabs both her hands

Michael: Come here I want to show you something

He starts walking backwards, bringing her with him. He hits the door, opens it, and goes outside. She's smiling the whole time without taking her eyes off him as he walks further back

Jess: What are you up to Michael?

Michael: You'll see

His wings come out. He wraps her arms around his neck and wraps his arms around her waist then flies up into the sky and stops

Michael: Look

She looks back and sees the moon. It was shining bright on them just like the dream she had

Jess: Wow! Michael this is...

She looks back at him and feels his lip on hers
