We left the beach at about 5PM and went for dinner (‘we’ being Mike, Lucy and I) I’m not quite sure what the other guys were doing tonight. But I just wanted to spend time with Mike. He already had a tan just from today and he looked so hot. I couldn’t help but stare. He seems to grow more beautiful every day. I don’t get it. Once we were finished in the restaurant, Mike paid the bill and we went in the direction of my house.

“Mikey? I’m gonna dye my hair back to brown, these roots are ridiculously annoying. So could you watch little Lucy and entertain her whilst I’m doing so?”

“Of course, we can watch a movie can’t we little Luce?!” he said, turning round to her with a big goofy smile.

“Yeah! Mamma, can I get some sweeties when we watch the film?”

“No way little lady, you had lots of ice cream at dinner, that’s enough.” I seen her little pout when I looked at her in the mirror and when Mike mouthed yes to her, her little face lit up again.

“I love you daddy”

“You only love me because I’m sneaking you sweeties, little lady!” he chuckled and lifted her from her seat as we got to my house. I was dying my hair and running the bath to wash it out. I couldn’t wait to relax with Mike tonight. Once I’d come out from my bath Lucy will be going to bed and Mike and I can just talk and kiss without being interrupted. God, I’ve missed kissing him. I’ve missed the feeling of his cold lip ring against my lip. I’ve missed the way his hands hold my waist and the way it feels like he’ll never let go. I need him in my life. I love him more than anything. It actually hurts how much I love him. Eventually I rinsed my hair out and it seemed like it had turned a nice colour. I slipped on my underwear and my bra again before drying my hair in the bathroom. Satisfied with how it looked I walked out in just my underwear, totally forgetting Mike was there. I walked past the living room and seen his jaw totally drop and his cheeks go bright red. I giggled like a maniac and ran to my room. I pulled on sweats and a top before going back on the couch to join him and Lucy.

“I’m sorry about that. I’m used to it just being me and Lucy.” I giggled

“Wow…”

I picked Lucy up, setting her in my lap and cuddling her close into me as if she was a teddy bear and lay my head on Mike’s lap. Mike played with Lucy’s hair and this felt so perfect. I felt like we were a family again. This is all I’ve ever wanted. Mike bent down to kiss my forehead but I tilted my chin upwards so he caught my lips. He smiled into the kiss and then kissed my forehead, like he meant to the first time.

“Mamma, daddy, stop kissing it’s yucky.” Lucy mumbled.

Mike and I automatically sat up and attacked her with kisses, making her giggle and scream for us to stop. We all were laughing and stopped kissing her, letting her catch her breath from laughing so much.

“Mamma do you love daddy?” she said.

“With everything I have baby girl.” I replied looking up at Mike, he smiled at me and wrapped an arm round me.

“Daddy do you love mamma?” she looked to Mike now…

“Of course baby, I love her more than anything.” He kissed my cheek and I sighed, feeling content in his arms.

“Good. I like it when you love each other.” She said as she sat back down on my lap, cuddling into me and yawning away.

“Let’s get you to bed Luce.” I said, getting up and carrying her, Mike following closely behind. I set her down on her bed, giving her a kiss and Mike did too.

As we were walking out Mike was following behind me and I turned round to ask him something when I noticed his eyes staring in the direction of my behind.

“Stop staring at my ass Michael.”

“I can’t help it. Daaaamn.” He said as he squeezed it when we walked back into the livingroom. We sat down on the couch and we sat across from each other, obviously we both knew we had to talk about stuff.

Just then Buster, the dog that Mike had gotten me a few years ago came waddling in. He was quite a chubby and quite a lazy dog, he usually just slept all the time on my bed or in his little corner in my room, I was surprised he came through. He’s the cutest dog ever though and Lucy loves him. He’s so good with her. He waddled his way to the couch and I helped him up on to it as he sat his head in my lap and I petted him whilst talking, as a way to distract myself if I cried or anything. It was like he knew an uncomfortable situation might be coming up and I’d need him to cuddle.

“Oh my god, Buster. He’s so cute and fat now” Mike chuckled and began to pet him a little before looking back up at me. “I want to know everything you feel before I start.”

“Hey! He’s always been cute!” I giggled. “Okay uhm. I really can’t put into words how I feel Mike, especially about you.” I started.

“Just tell me everything that goes through your mind baby girl.”

The nerves in my tummy kicked in and I put my head down, looking down towards Buster to calm myself down. I took a deep breath and started.. “Mike, I think you know that I love you. Anyone can tell I love you, it’s obvious. You’re everything to me. It doesn’t matter really what you do to me, I always come running back. It’s not a first love teenage type thing. It’s true love. I know it. I can feel it. When you know, you know I guess. But you make me feel like the best person in the world, you make me feel beautiful. ‘True love comes from more than just the heart’ I guess.” I winked at him when I repeated the song lyrics from his own bands song and he chuckled, I continued on… “However, you have done quite a few things to hurt me in these years and I know some of them are stupid mistakes and I do know that you’re sorry for them. But I can’t shake the feeling that this will happen again. I love you more than anything; I love you so much it hurts. You make me the happiest person ever. When we kiss it feels like we’re the only two in the room, sparks flying and shit. You make me feel whole. The smile you bring to Lucy’s face melts my heart. You’re everything to me, you’re perfect. Honestly. But I am just so fucking scared out of my mind that you’re going to do something to hurt me again. That you’re going to leave. I couldn’t handle it if you did. I don’t know what I’d do. I’ve fallen for you much, much harder this time. I think you grow more beautiful every single day. I need you in my life. I can’t lose you again. I can’t. I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I can’t stress that enough.”

Mike sighed and I automatically became scared. “Baby… I don’t even. I have no words. Wow. You’re perfect. Did you know I wrote a song about you?”

“I didn’t…” I started to speak but he cut me off.

He put a piece of paper with scribbled down lyrics in my hands, the song went like this:

"As we wake up in your room, your face is the first thing I see. The first time I've seen love and the last I'll ever need,
You remind her that the future would be nothing without her,
Never lose her, I'm afraid, better think of something good to say
Well it's all been done, more than once so I'll keep on trying,
Oh God don't let me be the only one who says...
No! At the top of our lungs, there's no, no such thing as too young,
When second chances won't leave you alone, then there's faith in love
She was always the one, I'll repeat it again, the one, no such thing as too young.
Red lights flash in the car we're kissing in, call me crazy,
I've always tried to remind her that the future's, just a few heartbeats away from disaster,
I'm afraid, that I've thrown it all away
No! At the top of our lungs, there's no, no such thing as too young,
When second chances won't leave you alone
No, at the top of our lungs, there's no, no such thing as too young,
When second chances won't leave you alone
(No) We'll repeat it again, there's no, no such thing as too young,
When second chances won't leave us alone, cause there's faith in...
(Love) If you kiss me goodnight, I'll know, everything is alright,
When second chances won't leave us alone, won't leave us alone,
Cause there's faith in love"

A tear slid from my eyes and I was so overwhelmed. Mike put his hands on mine and continued to speak, “But honestly baby. I love you so much. I’ve come to realize in the past couple of weeks just how much of an asshole I was to you. After everything I done to you, you took me back, you loved me unconditionally. You showed me that family is the most important thing. Without you, I am nothing. You make me a better person Scarlett. Seriously, you do. I’m only a good person because you made me one. I never want to leave you or my baby girl again. I need you both in my life. There is no better feeling than being with you two. You two are my world and I can’t stand leaving you every time I see you. I want to be right here. With you. With Lucy. With Buster. I want us to be a family again. I want us to be married and grow old together, have another few hundred kids and just be happy forever. You would make me happy forever. I’m done making stupid mistakes. You’re the only thing I want in my life. The only thing.” a little tear escaped his eye as he spoke and I knew he meant it. I knew this was genuine. And I knew it was going to work out this time. I knew how much we were going to try to make this family for us. He pulled a little box out of his jeans pocket and held it in front of me. “So Scarlett, it’d mean the absolute world and more to me if you’d do me the honour of becoming Mrs Scarlett Fuentes again?”

"Oh my god. M-Mike. Yes! Yes. Mike!" I said, still lost for words and wrapped my arms round his neck, kissing him passionately on the lips.
