3 Months Later

I'd just got out of the shower,it lasted about ten minutes mainly because Mia was screaming from the top of her lungs. This was my usual morning routine,I wake up at six because that's the time Mia wakes up so I'm accustomed to it. When she wakes up I change her,feed her,give her a bath than I get in the shower. I would put her seat on the outside of the shower door because Amaru doesn't wake up until almost seven.

Me and him are complicated. I did forgive him,ONLY because when I made him leave the hospital he came to our apartment that night crying and apologizing. He seemed sincere so yes I did forgive him,I love him but I did let his ass know that I don't have time for his immature bullshit anymore,I don't need him but our daughter does. Me and him have a lot to work on,so for now he has to earn my trust back. Right now I feel like he doesn't deserve me or my love.

I wrapped a towel around my body and picked Mia up to calm her down.

"What is going on babe,it's too early for all this screaming little girl"  

Even though I was still damp from the water she laid her head on my chest relaxing herself. She does this shit all the time,my baby is clingy and I'll be the first one to tell you. She don't like anyone else,besides her daddy  and grandfather.

I woke Amaru up so he could hold her while I get dressed. She wanted him anyway,they have these morning talks,they walk through the whole house.

I quickly got dressed.

Amaru has to get in the shower so he can go to work

Amaru has to get in the shower so he can go to work. I never realized until Mia was born that he never told me where he worked,this whole time he was going to "work" he could've actually been cheating. Another reason why we're not on the best of terms is because he refused to tell me who he cheated with,that only makes me feel like its someone i know. He may think all the dumb shit he put me through is completely forgiven but that couldn't be further from the truth. I will find out who it was but for now the only girl i'm concerned about is my child. I was so deep in my thoughts i didn't notice Amaru come back in without Mia and wrap his arms around me.

"Why are you touching me?"  
  I kindly lifted his arms off me.

"Can we talk,like now please?"  I mentally rolled my eyes.

Truthfully i'm not that mad at him. It's a lot of things i would love to do right now that involves many forms of touching but he has to earn that as well. Even though im kinda suffering from being sex deprived it's simply to get my point across.

"Look baby i'm sorry and i know you're tired of hearing it. I want to make it up to you,i wanna take you out so we can start over. I don't ever want to put you in the position when you feel like you have to fight for me. It should be the other way around,it took these three months of you barely speaking to me,not kissing me,or caring for my existence to realize how much i take you for granted."

He was talking but i was more focused on how good he looked.Even though he just woke up he still looks gorgeous.

"Ok,but that can't happen tonight

"Ok,but that can't happen tonight. I don't have anyone to watch Mia and my dad has been having really bad coughing fits so i need to watch him. But believe me baby we're gonna have a nice long talk. There will be some changes that you'll just have to deal with.Also-

I was completely cut off by his lips. His soft plump lips that i missed way too much. The plan was not to give in this quickly but this will be an exception. I pulled away before things got too heated.

"Im sorry but you look beautiful and i had to take this opportunity considering i haven't touched you in months. I know i fucked up and i'm gonna make it all up to you. I love you pretty girl."

That nickname gave me butterflies.I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Aaah is that a smile i see,you haven't given me one of those in a very long time."

At this point he held my hand in his,although i didn't want to rid myself of all the old feelings coming back to me i had to let go.

"I love you too big head,but you have a shower calling your name and i have a spoiled little girl to tend to."

Amazing how a simple conversation can change your whole mood towards someone maybe,just maybe this is a step in the right direction.
