"Michael." I moan out.
We really shouldn't be doing this but my pregnancy has me so horny right now. Gosh, but he's not even kissing me as he usually does when it's just about sex. He's kissing me so gently, passionately, sensually. He's making me fall more in love with him right now. He pulls away and kisses my cheek before sighing heavily. Why is he pulling away?
"Layla as much as I want to go further. I want to respect your wishes." He says and his tears are still falling.
Why? After all this time. How can he still have so many tears left?
"I know what I said. But, I need you right now."
"Layla." He says as he takes my hand in his and helps me to sit up. "As much as it hurts to hear you say the truth. I think we really should start over. I really want this second chance with you. To prove how much I love you and how much I want to be with you. I honestly believe we are soul mates. I really want to do this right." He says and pulls me closer to him. "May I have the honor of taking you out on a date?" He asks so sweetly making my heart melt. "I know we never really had a first date and I want to change that so we can have many more in the future." He says and intertwined our hands.
"I would really love that." I say blushing.
"Really?" He ask with his eyes beaming with excitement.
"Yes." I say giggling. "When is our first date?" I ask curiously.
"I'm hoping tonight." He softly says as I see the hint of pink slowly appear on his face.
I kiss his cheek feeling the temperature rise.
"Yes, let's have our first date handsome. It's been long overdue." I say trying to contain my excitement.
He brings my hand to his lips and kisses it softly. I can't tell if it's butterflies or flutters from our daughter. I grab his free hand and place it on my belly. Gosh, he's so handsome. He leans down placing gentle kisses on my belly.
"I know you are going to be as beautiful as your mother." He says to our daughter. "I hope you never go through what I put your mother through. Just know I am truly sorry for breaking her heart. I will spend the rest of my life trying to right my wrongs. Because I honestly love your mother so much. She's my whole heart. My entire being. My soul. My soul mate. My best friend. Hurting her is my biggest regret and I wish I could go back in time and just have told her the truth. But I can't change the past but I can promise this in the present that I will love your mother and you for the rest of my life. I will spend every second proving my love. I will never hurt your mother again. Because this is my last chance and I can't lose her. I can't lose the family we created together. I want to grow a bigger family with her. Give you as many siblings as your mother will allow. I want to marry your mommy. I want to give her more than my last name. I want to give her the world. All my love and my heart. I promise you that I will love your mommy always and forever. I promise you'll get the world and my heart too. I already know I'm going to spoil you. You'll come out looking just like your mother and I'll give you both whatever your heart desires. I can't wait to meet you princess." He says with tears streaming down his face with a huge smile.
