I Love You More | MJJ ✔️

{Chapter 33}

After our meal, the maid came, took the trays and went out.

"Look at us."

Michael looks at ourselves in the mirror.

"Don't we look good together?"

"Michael..."

"What?"

"I've been thinking about this. Why did you choose me?"

"What? Why?"

"I'm not pretty."

"You? Not pretty?"

He holds my face and makes me look at myself.

"This face is not pretty?"

"It's not..?"

"It's beautiful."

"Uhh..."

"I always thought that you're confident about yourself?"

"I am! I'm just confused why you chose me."

"Are you comparing yourself with other women I dated?"

"I only know Brooke Shields though."

"Oh."

He covers his mouth.

"Privacy, little boy. Don't tell me."

He takes off his fedora and lies on my thighs.

"What do you want to do?"

"When?"

"Now. Or anytime."

"Umm...nothing?"

"Really?"

"Yeah. It's enough for me."

"What is enough?"

"I'm here with you in your dance studio."

"This is exciting?"

"Michael, remember that I'm your fan?"

"Right... Oh, and is there anything you want as your birthday present?"

I show him the ring on my finger.

"This is more than anything I could ever wish for."

"But that's not a real birthday present."

"I know but really, this is more than enough."

"Are you gonna do a birthday party?"

I chuckle.

"Why?"

"No, Michael... I've never had a birthday party."

"No..!"

Michael gets up and looks at me.

"For real?"

"It's because of me. I love spending time with my family and best friends. I would just have one or two nights of birthday treat dinner and it's done. I hate parties."

"But March 26th is Friday this year, right?"

"Yeah."

"It's actually a good day to party."

"Nah... I hate it. Call me old-fashioned but yes, I don't like it."

"I was planning to do a party for you actually."

"No, don't do that."

"I won't. I understand now. Let me just-"

He lies on my lap again.
