Carrie looked over at him once he put the car in park, glancing out the window at her apartment. "I'm not ready to leave you." Carrie held her breath, Mike unable not to grin.
"Can I ask you something?" Mike looked at her seriously, changing the mood of the conversation. "You talk a lot about your religion and you go to church often. I'm not implying anything-,"
"Are you asking if I want to wait for marriage?" Carrie cut him off, biting her lip gently.
"Yeah," Mike answered before he opened the truck door, unbuckling his seatbelt and getting out. "Come here." He held his hand out after opening her door. Carrie smiled, taking his hand and stepping outside as well.
"Is everything okay?" She asked worriedly.
"Course. You said you weren't ready to leave me and neither am I." He answered, shrugging his shoulders as he laid a blanket from his back seat on the bed of the truck. "So let's talk." Mike turned to face her, Carrie looking up at him in amazement. He kissed her cheek before picking her up and sitting her on the truck.
"Yes, I am wanting to wait for marriage. Why? Is this where you leave?" Carrie but her lip, taking in a deep breath.
"What do you mean?"
"Anytime I get asked that and I answer them, it doesn't seem to be the right answer." Carrie pressed her lips together.
"I'm not going to leave. Look, I don't want that with you." Mike said, her shaking her head.
"That was one way of putting it." She shrugged her shoulders, Mike confused.
"I didn't mean it like that at all!" He replied, Carrie licking her lips. "Carrie. I just, I don't want to mess things up. I haven't been the kind to date women. I understand that sounds bad but I haven't. Any kind of relationship I've had with a woman it's strictly been for sex." Mike was being completely raw and honestly with her and no matter how much she hated the words that were coming out of us mouth, she was thankful that he was being so honest. "I'll be honest, I didn't respect them. I didn't really care to because they didn't respect themselves. You, Carrie, you're like a breath of fresh air. I don't want us to have sex anytime soon because I truly care about you and I respect you." He explained, her biting her lip as he spoke, unsure of what to say.
"Mike, I," The blonde stuttered, hesitating to tell him the truth.
"I'm sorry, I know that was a lot. Is something wrong?" Mike gently placed a hand on her thigh, trying to comfort her.
"Mike," Carrie leaned into his chest, wanting so badly to tell him how she felt.
"I think I'm falling in love with you Carrie." Mike confessed once she pulled away from him, looking into his eyes. She bit her lip softly before he pressed his lips against her's, Carrie holding her breath as he kissed her.
"I'm falling in love with you too, Mike." Carrie replied, them pulling away, their lips brushing together before they kissed again. "Thank you. Thank you for tonight." She smiled widely, Mike kissing her cheek.
"Carrie, I've, like I said, I've never done this before. I've never cared so much about someone and I don't want to mess anything up. If, if I ever do anything that upsets you or makes you mad...please, just tell me. I want you to be honest with me." He said, looking into the blonde's eyes, Carrie hanging on his every last word.
She didn't even know how to respond verbally so instead of speaking she pulled him closer, sitting up and placing her lips against his. "I will, I promise." She nodded gently before they kissed again, each time the kiss becoming more passionate. "Can I ask you something?" She pulled away, him nodding gently. "Is your mom still alive?" Carrie questioned, him gently signing.
"I, I don't know. I haven't talked to her since I was younger. Why do you ask?"
"I was just wondering." Carrie answered, resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm really sorry you had to go through that." She added, holding his hand.
"Hey, I'm okay now." Mike kissed her forehead lightly, thankful that he'd been honest with her about everything that'd happened. "As long as I've got you."
