Mitch and I walked out of the room in silence. I had no idea how I was going to explain myself.
"Mommy!" "Oh my god!" I breathed out. Both the twins ran up to me and gave me a big hug.
"I'm so glad you're okay." I felt tears well up in my eyes. I smothered both their faces with kisses.
"How about I take the kids back to my house and Mitch can give you a ride." My eyes widened as well as Mitch's.
"No that won't be necessary." I laughed nervously. "I don't think I have enough room in my car." My dad said, knowing exactly what he was doing.
I looked at Mitch and he looked just as annoyed as I did. "I'll see you guys at the house. Besides, you two have some discussing to do anyways." With that my dad walked off leaving me and Mitch alone, together.
"My cars this way." Mitch said walking off. I just nodded and followed him.
When we got in the car, we sat in awkward silence for about 5 minutes.
"Mitch I'm-" "Why did you leave?" He said cutting me off. "It-it wasn't safe." I sighed.
"Why didn't you tell me about them?" "I didn't think that with your past and job that the twins would be safe." "I could've quit. I would've raised them with you Y/N."
"Mitch-" "We could've moved off the grid. Where no one could find us. The twins would've been safe. We would've been safe. I-I could've had a family Y/N. That's all I've ever wanted."
My heart dropped to my stomach knowing how bad I'd hurt him.
"Mitch we couldn't have been a family. You and I, we, we didn't love each other. I wouldn't have wanted to be in a relationship that was forced just because we had kids together."
"I did love you." Mitch whispered almost inaudible.
"You-you loved me?" I felt tears start to well up in my eyes again. Mitch's eyes widened surprised I heard him.
"Yes." He didn't dare look at me. "Wh-why didn't you tell me?" "I was scared. I knew you didn't feel the same and I hadn't felt something so strong for someone since Katrina, and that scared the shit out of me. If I'm being totally honest, there's not a day that's gone by that I don't think about you Y/N."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He loved me? I always thought the feeling were only one-sided.
"Y-you never called." "I didn't think you wanted me to. You left so suddenly and your dad told me that you didn't feel safe anymore, I figured you didn't want to be contacted."
I felt a few tears slide down my cheeks. "Mitch, I loved you too." He finally looked over at me for the first time in the last 20 minutes.
"Wh-what?" He breathed out. "I loved you too. In all honesty, I think about you everyday as well. It's hard not to. When I look at the kids all I see is you. I've thought about what we could've been everyday for the last 6 years."
Mitch pulled over and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. He turned towards me and looked at me in the eyes for the first time in 6 years.
I finally got a good look at him. His eyes still held their beautiful color of amber and honey. He still had his stubbly, sexy as hell, scruff on his face. He took my hands in his and I felt my heart skip a beat.
"What if I told you that I still love you." I felt like my heart was running a marathon.
"What if I told you I felt the same."
Mitch smiled one of his very rare smiles. He started to lean in towards me.
"I would ask if I could kiss you." I focused on his eyes, which were darting back and fourth from my eyes to my lips. "Then I would say yes."
Our lips were now only centimeters apart and we both were breathing very heavy.
He looked into my Y/E/C eyes and I looked into his light brown ones. He turned his head to the side and I did the same.
He leaned in even closer and before I knew it, his soft lips were on mine. The kiss was unlike any kiss we'd shared before. It was filled with so much love and passion. Although it was a new feeling, it felt so natural and we both melted right into it.
We both pulled away with a loss of breath and rested our foreheads against each other. "That was-" "Amazing." Mitch said finishing my sentence. I nodded in absolute agreement.
We situated ourselves back into our seats and Mitch continued to drive.
The rest of the drive we discussed how we were gonna tell the kids. He had his right hand intertwined with mine in my lap while his other was still on the wheel.
"Wh-what if they don't like me?" I rolled my eyes. "Mitch, they'll love you." "You think." I leaned over and kissed his cheek. "I know."
He just smiled at me and lifted our hands to his lips and kissed the back of mine. I lightly blushed because of the sweet, but small gesture.
"I wish this happened sooner." I frowned. "Better late than never." He looked over at me and smiled. "Yeah, I guess you're right." I laughed.
"I love you." He said. "I love you too."
i'm thinking of doing one more part to this mitch imagine. what do y'all think?
