Chapter Fifteen
Emma
Mikey looks at me, and I have never felt so cared for. I believe him when he says that he'll wait for me. I love him even more for that. I still can't believe I said those words to him.
“I have something for you.” He whispers.
Digging into his back pocket, he pulls out a white box. I smile and take it from him. "You didn't—“
"Stop." He places his hand over mine. "Now that you're mine expect to be spoiled. Know that I will make sure you have everything you could ever need and more. Tell me I didn't have to do something is pointless. I will and want to do anything and everything for you. Got it?"
All I can do is smile and nod my head. I don’t even know how to respond when he says stuff like that. Opening the box, I see a brand new phone sitting there. It's pink. I look up at him, "this is…" I can't even finish my sentence.
"It's what you deserve, and I'm not done yet, babe. I want you to have this so that when I get sent on the road, I can hear your gorgeous voice. Not only that but it's part of the world you live in now, and I want you to be able to embrace it in every way."
“Thank you.” I kiss him.
"Today is about you, babe. I want you to know how loved you are and I want you to feel at home. This is where you belong. We are all your family now."
“You have no idea how much that means to me.” I pull him against me enjoying being able to be in his arms. I swear I’ve never felt better than when I’m in them.
“So there's gonna be a party tonight, for a couple reasons. One the obvious one is your birthday, and also to celebrate you being mine." He kisses me, and I swear I could listen to him call me his all day every day. "I'm excited, for both reasons." I wink at him, and we both laugh.
A knock sounds and we look at the doorway to see Lucy and Tracy standing there.
"Well, that didn't take long Tank." Tracy says, "Happy birthday MJ." She waves and then walks away.
"Happy birthday girl," Lucy says, and I hop off the dresser so I can walk over and give her a hug. "Hope today is the best for you. I know my first birthday here was definitely memorable."
"Mikey got me a phone." I flash it to her, and she looks back at him.
“Good job on that one.” She hugs me again. “I’m so happy that you’re here Emma.”
"Me too." She walks away, and I turn back to Mikey. "So what do you want to do?”
"Me? It's your birthday. Pretty sure it's your day to do whatever you want." He walks over and pulls me to him. I lay my head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat.
“Honestly, I could stay like this all day and be perfectly content.” I squeeze him tighter.
"Well then, why don't we get a little more comfortable?" he leans backwards, and I yelp as both of us fall onto the bed.
"You know you could warn a girl first." I shove him, and he laughs.
"Where's the fun in that? Besides you may as well enjoy this bed right now because from now on I plan to have you in my room with me." I look over at him surprised by his statement. "Oh you heard me, I fully plan to spend every night falling asleep with you in my arms and waking up the same way.”
A hum of content sounds from my lips, “That sounds kind of amazing.”
“Kind of?” he arches an eyebrow at me.
I laugh at the expression on his face. “Fine, it sounds completely amazing.”
“That’s more like it.” He pulls me to him kissing me again.
We spend the next few hours talking and even end up falling asleep together. I wake up to the feeling of my stomach rumbling. Mikey laughs next to me, “that was loud enough to wake me up.”
"Guess I need to eat something, or it's going to get angry." I move to get up, but I'm pulled back down.
“Just so you know waking up with you in my arms was even better than I thought it would be.”
