I've been waiting

Chapter 12

Sabrina POV

Last night is something I will never forget. Michael was so gentle, and he made me feel at peace the whole time. I am a little bit sore this morning, but I am thankful that my first time was like that.

Rolling over in bed, I stare at the face of the man who has taken hold of my heart. He has everything of mine now. I trace his strong jaw and lips with my finger. Leaning over, I gently place a kiss upon his lips. This causes him to stir a little in his sleep. Next thing I know, I am flat on my back with Michael above me. Looking up into his eyes, I can see the love and adoration he has for me, floating around. He brings his face down and places soft kisses into my neck.

I can feel my body responding to him. I run my nails down his back and feel him shiver at the contact. His lips meet mine in a soft and sensual kiss. I can feel everything in this kiss, so I make sure I give back as much as he is giving me. We pull apart and look into each other's eyes. I am the first to break the silence "I love you, Michael".

OH shit, I just said that out loud. Word vomit is once again leaving my mouth. I close my eyes tightly as I don't want to see Michael's reaction. He nudges my nose with his "Open your eyes, baby. Look at me" I slowly open my eyes to look at Michael. Our eyes are in a staring contest "I love you too, Sabrina. I think I have loved you since I met you. You are the woman for me, and I am so grateful that you are in my life."

I am back at home after spending an amazing night and morning with Michael. Jayla and Shane have gone out for the afternoon, so here I am, relaxing on the couch watching crappy weekend tv. I cannot wipe the smile off my face. I am about to doze off to sleep when the beeping of my phone has me falling off the couch. I look at the screen after picking the phone up, and I quickly swipe it to answer.

*Phone call*

"Hello"

"Hello, is this Sabrina Morris?"

"Yes, it is. May I ask who is calling?"

"Yes, my name is Bruce. I am calling because your mother owes me money and she told me to call you to get my money."

*End phone call*

I quickly hang up my phone and throw it against the wall. The tears are falling down my face, and I cannot control the sobs and pains in my chest. "Why now? Why all of a sudden after a month, she is trying to find me?" I whisper to myself. I fall to the floor and lay on my side, curling myself up into a ball.

I must have fallen asleep, as the next thing I know is Jayla is shaking my arms and gently calling my name. "Sabs, Hunny what has happened? Do I need to hurt Michael?" She asks me, and I can't stop the tears from falling again. She gently grabs me from under my arms and sits me up. "Sabs, I need to know what has happened" I open my mouth to talk, but nothing comes out. I just silently keep crying and rocking myself back and forth.

Jayla grabs my phone from its resting spot on the floor. Thankfully it didn't smash. She goes into my contacts and presses the number she believes has hurt me. Jayla walks out of the room and comes back no longer than 20 seconds later. "Michael will be here in 5 minutes hun. Please talk to him" Jayla pretty much demands I speak to him, but she says it in the most nicest way to not make me more upset.

She wasn't lying when she said he would be here in 5 minutes as the front door is flying open, and he is rushing in towards where I am sitting on the floor.

"Baby, what happened?" Michael gently picks me up and places me on his lap on the couch. "My mother's drug dealer called demanding money from me" I speak the words softly, and the tears fall hard from my eyes. Michael never lets me go, rubbing my back and my head simultaneously. Jayla is the first to break the silence. "I'm gonna fucking kill your mother, Sabrina. That stupid bitch has gone too far giving out your number to her dealers. Tomorrow morning we are going into the shop to get your number changed."

Michael places soft kisses on my neck, whispering in my ear "Do you need me to take you to bed and love you and your body like I did last night?" I look into Michael's eyes and give him a small smile. He gives me a quick kiss and then pushes my head into his neck "just rest doll face" and rest I do.
