"Even when I'm an asshole?", he grimaced. "You are my handsome asshole", I reminded him, softly hitting his arm. "And we are not naming our oldest Baldwin."

Michael's face changed and made him look 5 years younger. "You truly are a gift - I haven't completely lost you?"

"You can never lose me - not when you told me you would propose."

Michael raised my hands to his lips and kissed my fingers. "Tonight. Let's go to another city." His face lost it's beaming happiness for a second. "I will tell you how it was at home during the divorce."

"Not after such an argument!", I protested.

"If this has shown me one thing, then it's that we both are suffering from my past. I hate talking about it. I dread it. I would rather run away right now then actually tell you anything - but dammit I'll fucking hate myself if I lose you over my own foolishness. So I'll talk for you."

"How can you love me so much?", I whispered, wrapping my arms around him. "Not that I love you any less."

"How do you make me s

    We think you'll love these stories, too.♡Michael's POVMarseille20th of June1 pmAfter some talking to the hotel staff, getting the last room and moving into it, Sara and I plopped down on the bed with a tired sigh.I turned to her instantly, took her hand and propped myself up. "Nap time?""Nap time", she agreed.We were out like lights, only came to ourselves hours later and decided it still wasn't too late to eat some lunch.3 pmI moved to the travel bag Victor had packed and drew out a few nice pieces, happy at his choices. While I chose my outfit, Sara slipped into the shower and moments later, I heard the water running. I contemplated on taking my chance, listened to the running water and imagined it running down her naked skin ...Jokingly I checked if the door was unlocked.It was.Heat arose in my body and I got excited at the thought what awaited me.Well, might as well.I quickly stripped myself of my clothes and slowly opened the door. Sara was still singing, not noti

    "What? Somebody has to discipline them, and I don't see you spanking them."Sara grew thoughtful. "Well, ... that's true but still.""We won't beat them. Surely you were spanked too as a child."She nodded. "See? That's the maximum we'll do", I promised her."When do you want to start?", Sara asked. "We are both getting older after all.""If you don't mind, I'd like to have our first child before I turn 32. I don't want to be too old for when the children need me the most.""And when do you want the last one?", Sara, who was 4 years younger than me, making her 26, had all the time in the world still. I, however, did not."Before I turn 40, it that's alright with you.""9 years. 5 children", she did some calculating in her head. "31 first child. 33 second. 35 third. 37 fourth. 39 or 40 fifth?""Two year age gaps?""I need to rest after birth. We need to raise them. I'm not doing a six month break between each child", she adamantly refused."No, I thought maybe you wanted more breaks be

    Michael's POVWe arrived back at the hotel, her face going from sad to normal again, and as I sighed she wrapped her free arm around me and squeezed my hand. "I'm here", she assured me gently.She raised my hand and kissed it, just like I did, which caused me to smile.Once we were in our room, I got changed into something more comfortable, while Sara changed into the pink shorts she had bought and into a loose grey shirt.I eyed her silently, which she caught, resulting in her twirling to demonstrate them to me again. I had to smirk at her. "Trying to soothe me?""Doing my best", she danced to me and wrapped herself around me, rested her chin on my chest and peered up. "Let's get comfortable." She nudged her head to the bed.I shook my head. I didn't want to discuss bad topics in bed with her. "I'd rather sit on the balcony with you and watch the sunset while we talk.""Alright", she raised her head. "I'll get us something to drink. You set up the balcony.""Deal", I let go of her an

    Five kisses later, she asked: "Better?""Much better", I admitted. I felt lighter. I felt so much lighter. "No comment from your side?""Do you want one?", Sara stroke my hair back. I nodded slowly."I think you are a very courageous and formidable man and I'm proud you managed all of that."I pressed her strongly into a hug.That's all I had needed.For the remaining evening, we watched the sun set, watched the tourists walk around while we quietly held each other and enjoyed each other's company.I loved brushing my fingers up and down her legs, loved how she played with my hair, loved her scent and loved her warm brown eyes which caught the golden rays of the sun mesmerizingly.And in times like these, I often ask myself where it all had gone wrong. If my father had loved my mother the way I loved Sara, then I just could not understand how they could separate. What reason had driven him to cheat on her? If they had always been such polar opposites, why get together in the first pla

    Sara's POVWe entered the little breakfast restaurant I had found on the internet, which turned out to be a dainty coffee shop, and we were promptly seated by the windows of the rustically decorated shop.I loved the dark woods they used around here, the modern black, brown, green and white colour scheme, the many flowers and plants around the shop, the glass touches - it felt "a modern touch to something old", Michael commented, as if he had read my thoughts; and I instantly agreed. The chairs were wooden as well, with white pillows on them.It was wide, had a lot of open space and was bright and the soft music in the background made it feel homey."I love the wood", I traced the table. "I always thought black steel and dark wood goes along perfectly, what do you think?""I agree", my boyfriend leaned forward. "Especially if there's a pop of colour.""Oh yes! Like soft pastel tones, or blue, or yellow, or or or! So many possibilities!", I swooned."Should I take a picture of the cafe

    "We are getting married!", I sobbed. "We are discussing our wedding - oh god I'm marrying you and I'm gonna have babies with you and I'm gonna move in with you and I'm gonna be so mushy and gushy because you are so lovely and oh god I'm gonna bear your name and we are going to be so happy and this is our wedding-"Michael laughed happily and brightly, the loudest and most at ease I've ever heard him be. He drew me into his arms and hugged me strongly."You know how we can make this any more perfect?", he mumbled against my ear, sounding bubbly.I shook my head, sobbing happy tears.He looked shyly at me. "Let's write our own vows. There are a few things I have to say to you when we are getting married. I got blessed with you and I need to voice that."I started bawling at his sweet words.Michael hugged me continuously while he laughed at my emotional outburst."A first dance", he raised my hand and intertwined our fingers, rocking us softly around. "Slow dancing, just the two of us."

Never laid still. And this had been going on since 10 pm.One minute she'll slap her hand or arm on your face, the other she will kick you in the rib, or her little body will be spread across you, not allowing you to move. If you fell asleep, she made sure to kick you awake. The times I flinched or jolted awake this night were uncountable.Estelle rolled into the middle, lying on her side, her legs stretched apart, her little mouth open as she was breathing.We both laid a hand on her stomach, patting her softly. Esi stopped tossing for a few seconds. We tiredly sighed with a weak smile on our faces. Michael puffed his cheeks and widened his eyes, silently conveying 'that was a handfu

    My shoulders sunk in disbelieve - but then I remembered at home in Bosnia, in our small village, time also seemed to go by so much slower. Our home was also old fashioned, just like Marthe's house. No dishwasher, many tasks done by hand, coffee you had to cook on the stove yourself, a fireplace you regularly had to check on (which we naturally didn't use in the heat of the summer), the old gas stove you had to play with until it worked, the self cut wood and much more.This home wasn't any different than the one I had visited every summer with my parents, meaning that the most interesting stories and activities came from the people themselves.Victor was in his office, so I wouldn't bother him now. Rebecca and Leon were left.I went out to the hallway, seeing Leon help the children get into their shoes."Where are you three of to?", I asked, drying my hands on the washing cloth."The kids wanted ice", Leon told me with a smile. He took their hands. "Want to come along?"I thought abou

    I took a deep breath, catching his eyes. I knew the text by heart, so I just looked at him and forgot the paper in my hands."You were there when I needed you the most, at the hospital, as I recovered, and that twice. You tried your hardest to make me happy, you nearly broke your back in exhaustion but kept going. You stuck around and loved me with the same intensity. Just thinking about you makes me smile, seeing you happy makes me happy, seeing you sad makes me sad. And when you smile at me as if I were the only woman on this world, the best thing that could have happened to you, as if I were the biggest achievement of it all, one corner of your mouth always higher than the other, it's always the right one, with your dimples showing - my heart swells up with love and feels like it could explode. Even now, so many memories later."Michael cried silently with a smile. I wiped his tears away, continuing to speak."Life with you seems so much more intriguing and promising." My own voice

    I mouthed and mouthed compliments to her, until she was beaming again and walking with a raised head.I heard dad laugh, but I couldn't stop staring at Sara - the rest of the room and people were pale, grey, boring compared to her. It disappeared in a blur, while all of my senses sharpened on her.And as she stood in front of me, I whispered: "Beautiful. Perfect." I took her hands. I needed to hold her, or else I would go insane. I leaned forward to this angel, almost not daring to move as if she could vanish suddenly, holding my breath at this perfect being that was really my wife! "I wish I could kiss you already", I whispered.Sara's cheeks and ear flushed and she leaned forward, making our foreheads touch. Her eyes were full of an expression that said 'do it'. And I nearly did, hadn't the woman spoken.And then - long minutes and many tears later, we were proclaimed as husband and wife - and I could finally, finally! kiss her.And I did. I poured all of my love into the kiss - an

    He had styled his hair how I loved it - with the curl falling onto his handsome face, the rest of his waves brushed back loosely. He looked as always proper and delicious in his suit - he had chosen a dark grey colour, a grey tie and a blush pink handkerchief to fit our theme; of course he thought of everything, my clever man!I spotted how he swallowed, how he beamed, how he bobbed his feet up and down in his excitement, how he wiped his eyes once again.Faster, faster, faster!Why was this aisle so damn long?Michael winked at me as he spotted how impatient I got. 'Love you', he mouthed.My heart was melting with love.Finally - finally we reached him. Dad hugged me, kissed my cheek.Then Michael and dad patted each other on the shoulder, then hugged. "Take care of her", dad said to him, making tears well up in my eyes. He handed me over, making me take Michael's hand.

    Mum spotted my reaction and leaned over, whispering sweetly into my ear. "I think it was worth going out today."I nodded as she kissed my hair, tears blurring my vision.Maybe this was a sign that I would be awarded if I stepped out. Maybe this was a sign that not everything was cruel.I thought of Michael. I thought of how I sat close to him at work with another two friends close to me, friends I could trust and I knew had visited me during my unconscious time in the hospital.My lips trembled. I wanted to show Michael this dress. I wanted to show him what had made this day so special, besides waking up next to him.Betty and Olive, the two more than helpful female employees, helped me yet again in this dress and as Betty buttoned it up, Olive's eyes shone. "This is your dress, isn't it?"I looked at the small mirror in the changing room, my bottom lip shaking heavily.Who was this woman in the mirror? She was breathing taking with her big eyes and square face, with the hourglass bo

    He talked to me about the wedding to cheer me up. He talked to me about our nephew and nieces, showed me videos of Adrien, Estelle and Sara. He talked to me about our babies and how the incident had only made his protective manner grow, and he showed that without a doubt.His hand quickly laid over my body when Hector got too close. When someone came in unannounced, he sent a death glare towards the door.The way he talked to me though, with this softness and this new-found love, only made me suspect more that he wanted a baby even more quickly.It was a nice technique to make me forget about my aching body, I must admit. And I let myself be endorsed in the baby talk, in the name choosing, in how the baby would change our lives - because honestly? After what had happened, I wanted to make the most out of my life. I wanted to have a baby with him.I wanted to live. I wanted to make the world a happy and safe place for my babies. I want to have all of Michael's babies and put more 'us'

"Are you awake Ms Basic?"I nodded, my head gradually starting to hurt.I weakly raised my arm, still disorientated where I was, who I was, what day and time it was?With my hand, I shielded my eyes from the harsh light and slowly opened them.Wait, I could move my hands?"Where ... am I?", I coughed, my throat dry."In the hospital, Ms Basic. Your fiancé brought you here after you were held hostage", the man explained. I turned my head slightly to see his coat.This was my doctor?Another hand moved around my body. I turned to see the light rose outfit of the nurse.I was in a hospital room ...?But that means - I had been rescued!

    Sara's POVI panted and cried and whaled as Noah repeatedly stabbed my legs. In and out, always in a new spot. The wet sound echoed in my ear.My body had grown numb and cold to the pain once he stopped stabbing me.My vision only got worse.The corners turned black.I had trouble staying conscious.I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep."Why would you call him!?", Noah yelled. He grabbed my head. Everything was spinning. "Why why why? Why do keep on clinging onto him!? Is it because he has more money? Is it because he is a shameless flirt!? Is it because both of you are divorced!?"Noah grabbed a good chunk of my hair and with a swift swipe, cut off half my hair.He let my own hair fall onto me."I'll derange so much he won't love you anymore!", Noah yelled, his voice breaking. "And then I'll kill you - because you know what? A whore like you isn't worth this pain! If I can't have you, nobody can have you!"Noah cut off the other half of my hair."The more I look at you, the more

His eyes ... they were filled with love. With love?Every core of my body grew disgusted at this realization. What a sick fucker! Did he enjoy torturing me? How could he like something so grotesque?!With every second he kept me here, the more the man I had loved disappeared from my memories. As if the old Noah distanced himself or was being replaced with this abusive psycho.Whatever I had once felt to him - those feelings and memories felt foreign right now, unfamiliar, disgusting, vile. Why had I wasted over four years with you? Why hadn't it been Michael who I could have met at my university?
