The Boxer And The Dancer 2

Chapter 37

While I Was Still Eating And Michael Was Done, He Went Upstairs For A Moment And Then Came Back Down. As I Was Finishing Up, Michael Took All The Dishes Into The Kitchen And Then Lead Me Upstairs. He Brought Me To The Bathroom Where I Saw That The Bath Was Full Of Water With Bubbles Foamed Ontop. Candles Were Lit And There Was Music Playing Soflty. A Long Walk By Jill Scott Was Playing. I Turned Around To See Michael Taking Off His Clothes. I Have No Idea Why, But I Blushed Hard As Hell. He Got Into The Tub And Then Looked Up At Me.

"You Gone Just Stand There Or Join Me?" He Asked.

I Stripped Out Of My Clothes And Got In With Him. We Both Leaned Back Comfortably, With My Back Against His Chest. I Inhaled And Exhaled Heavily, Letting The Warm Water Comfort My Body As Well. Michael Wrapped His Arms Around Me And I Relaxed Even Further Into Him. You Belong To Me By Tank Started Playing. This Was One Of My Favorite Tank Songs. I Closed My Eyes And Started Singing Along.

Who's gonna love you like me
I put in the time
I just did it right, yeah
Who's gonna love you like me
I turned on the light show
I just let you shine, yeah

I don't wanna look away
We done made some big moves
G-wagon and a Wraith
Bel-Air mansion coming soon
I been down to put the paper down
For anything a lady wanna do
I could let you walk on air but
'Dat ain't really what a nigga gon' do
Oh, that ain't what a nigga gon' do
Hooo

My Eyes Shot Open Realizing This Was My First Time Ever Singing In Front Of Michael.

"Why'd You Stop?"

"I-I Um.."

"Sing To Me Baby." He Said Softly, Kissing The Back Of My Neck.

I Started Getting Shy Again. My Singing, My Voice, I Am My Own Worst Critic And I Hate That About My Self. The Song Finished And On Came My Song By Her. It Made Me Smile, Thinking About That First Night I Was In L.A. With Michael. I Heard Him Chuckle Behind Me And Knew He Was Thinking About It Too. I Decided To Sing Along.

Uhhh, yeah
Mmm, mm, mm

I wanna run away with you
Just take me to places I've never known
When no one else seems to be getting through
Only you can tell wants going on

When I hear you name
Put a smile up on my face
It don't matter the time or the place
You make it all better now
I can love you forever now
When I hear the sound
When I'm feeling down
Ain't nobody else gotta be around
For you to make it better now
Let me get myself together now

Those Words Meant More To Me Now Than They Ever Did. Me And Michael May Have Our Issues But At The End Of The Day, Nobody Has Loved Me Or Appreciated Me The Way He Has. No One Was Able To Pull Me Out Of My Dark Place Like He Was. No One Was Able To Boost My Confidence And Self Esteem The Way He Has.

Everything that you've told me
I thank you every day for
All the things you wanted me to be
Is every thing I've prayed for
When the weight of the world is on my shoulders
You would take the away the pain
Through the storm the sun still shines
With you by my side I'm not afraid

I Found Myself Crying And Michael Held Me And The Sound Of H.E.R's Voice Swept The Candle Lit Room.The Sound Of My Sniffles Cause His Attention.

"You Okay?" He Asked.

"Yeah."

"What's On Your Mind."

"I'm Just...Happy. I Haven't Felt This Since I Was Little. My Mind Is Still, Even Though My Stomach Has Butterflies. I Still Think About This One Moment I Tried To Take My Life." I Thought To Myself For A Moment Before Speaking Again. "A Month Before Our First Initial Meeting. I Was Mentally And Physically Tired. I Was Lost, And Cold, And Just Miserable. I Was Going To Go Into The Garage, Set It On Fire And Just Sit There. I Felt Like I Deserved The Pain And I-" I Fell Silent.
