A Million Way's To Love You™ (On The Line) ♥ Book 4✔️

♡Chapter 26♡

*Marilyn's Point Of View*

I am so nervous right now. I have to face the music. Unfortunately it's s sad tune. I just arrived at Channing's house. I told him that I wanted to come over. He has no clue to what's to come. I climb out if my car and slowly walk towards his front door after closing the car door. I am literally shaking right now. I mean what am I gonna say?  'Hey Channing, we're over...I realized I still love Michael.. have a nice life?' I sigh and ring his doorbell. Within seconds, Channing emerges from behind the door with barely clothing on, Just his PJ pants. "Hey babe! Glad you decided to come visit!... you look hot!", I force a smile. "Thank-you...", He smiles and leans into by face to kiss me. I 'accidentally' drop my keys. I turn my face so he ends up kissing my cheek. "Sorry dropped my keys... " He gives me a weird glance and picks up my key's. "It's okay...wanna come inside? " I nod and he moves so I can walk inside. "Well do you want something to eat or drink? ", He said closing the front door. I shake my head. "No thanks...can we talk? ",  "Uhh yeah.. sure... right this way.. ", He slid gesturing towards the living room. We walk in and sit on the love seat. "So what's up princess? ", He asked putting his right arm behind me. I sigh. "Well...first let's get serious... ", He smiles. "I thought we were...", "Channing I'm serious.. I want to Have a serious talk with you....", He nods. "Alright princess... you have my attention. ", He chirped smiling widely at me. He's making this harder. I don't know if I can do this. I can't break someone's heart, not like this. I love Michael and want to be with him but I don't know if it's the right choice. They are both great men. I'm guessing I was silent for too long because Channing stops smiling and removes his arm. "You're leaving me aren't you?..", I look at my hand's and nod. He sighs. "I knew it was coming... Just look at me and please explain... Why? ", I look up at him. He looks so hurt like an abandoned puppy. "Don't say it like that.. ", He sits up and gives me a sarcastic look. "You mean don't say you're breaking up with because of that little bitch! Is that what you're saying?! ", I shake my head. "No Channing I-", "No.

..I've been silent enough! You come Here giving me the cold shoulder only to break-up with me....let me guess your reason.... You still love the asshole?... ", I don't answer. He stands up and rubs his face. "No now isn't the time to Be silent! Lay it all on the table! Now am I right? ", "Yes but-", "But what? You don't want to hurt me?..Bullshit! I told you I was hurt in past relationship. gave her my and for what? She didn't want it...You said you wouldn't do that...but you did", Here said now sitting. I remain silent. "You said you wouldn't do that... I love you...I love you so much...", I feel tears forming in my eyes hearing him say that. He has only told me twice that he loves me if my memory is correct. He puts his hand's in his face and began crying. "What does he have that I don't? ", He asked in a muffled tone. I sigh..I have to be honest. "My heart....I tried pushing him out to make room for you..But the truth is, I will always Love Michael... he is a part of me... he's The father of my children and keeper of my heart and soul. Being with you allowed me to live in a world without him, sadly it taught me that I can't live without him...Channing I'm sorry, so very sorry... ", He doesn't reply. We sit in silence for about fifteen minutes. "Did you ever once consider leaving him for me?", I nod. "Yes I did....But you wouldn't want to be with someone who just considered you...", He wipes his face and stands up. I do the same. "I don't know What to say,what to feel,what to do..", He said brokenly. I walk to him and hug him. "Justice say farewell... Feel better...and continue with your life...love again... goodbye Channing... ", I slid releasing our hug. He holds onto my hand's. "Don't walk away...please don't leave me....", I fight my tears and retrieve my hand's. "I'm sorry... ", With that, I quickly left before I try to turn back and hold him. I sit in my car for awhile crying. I was in his shoes Once, having someone who I thought loved me hurt me..

*Michael's Point Of View*

I need to talk to someone for advice. I dial the number in the telephone...

*"Hello?",

"Hey Joseph..."

"Hey....",

"Look I know last time we talked we weren't on the best of terms but I want to change that...."

"Michael boy, What is it?",

"I need to ask you something... Man to Man...."

"Alright ask me...",

"What Would you have done to get back and keep Katie? "

".....",

"Joseph? "

"Give my life....I let a good woman slip through my finger's... you did the same... while you have time..fix it! Get her back and never let go.

.show Her she'll never have to pack her bags again... if she returns make it your mission to love her and make her see it and know it.

.do you hear me?",

"Yes sir.. I do... "

"Good because I don't want you going through What I did..just remember it takes time, if she returns don't push for the norm. That chapter is over...you have to live on...just love her and those children... They need you two...I'm sorry Michael... ",

"Why? "

"I wasn't the best example of that... I Love you so much son...both you and Katie... ",

"I love you too...dad..."

"Well I should go I need to call Janet..remember what I said... I love you...Bye now...",

"Love you too, Bye..."*

I hang up the phone with tears in my eyes. I have only had one talk like that with my father. That was when I was at Marilyn's and I surprise birthday party/engagement party. It meant the world to me then and means so much now. I'm proud of him. He has turned his life around. He fixed thing's with Katie. Became a better parent through grandparenting. Though I did cut him off for a year, I realized he was always right. Now I have to take his word's And use them as action's and I have the perfect idea of how to do it...
