"I need you to get Leanne back here and this time make sure she leaves here believing what I tell you to say to her. I'm not gonna stay here any longer than I have to" she cuts me off, ignoring my question then pushes me hard into the wall and gets in my face. "And if you fuck it up again. I'll do to you exactly what I did to Ryan and Anna. Do you understand?" She frowns and I nod shakily.

Michael's POV

I was really worried about Leanne going to she Lisa yesturday. Neither of us has mentioned it since, but I've noticed Leanne seems much happier since we left the prison and now I'm glad she talked me into letting her go to see her because she was able to say all the things she's needed to say to Lisa for so long and now that's finally off her chest it's one less worry for her.

I know Leanne is gonna have to face these things eventually and it's that I don't trust her because I do more than anything, but it's other people I don't trust so much because it feels like everybody she meets is somehow trying to hurt her and all I want to do is keep her safe.

I still refuse to leave her alone in the house, which is why I'm bringing her to work with me today. She tells me she'll be ok and call of there's a problem, but after what happened I've been too scared to leave her home alone which she understands and doesn't make a big deal out of it because she doesn't want be feeling anxious and worrying about her when I'm not around, even though it most likely annoyes the hell out of her. She says it's ok and she thinks it's sweet that I'm so protective over her, but I know it probably irritates her more than anything.

After finishing breakfast I go upstairs into the bathroom to brush my teeth and I hear the shower running and Leanne is in the shower. "Michael?" She says from behind the shower curtain.

"I just came in to get washed up before we leave"

"Ok. I'm almost done, so i'll start getting ready soon"

"That's ok. Just take your time" I mutter as I start brushing my teeth and when  I look up I notice her reflection a little in the mirror.

We both agreed we should wait until she's 18 until we have sex, which we have been and I know I should just finish up and leave, but the longer I stare through the mirror at her beautiful body the harder it's getting to tear my eyes away from her and continue watching for a moment

Leanne's POV

I'm in the shower and I suddenly feel Michael's arms wrap around me. "I thought you were just brushing your teeth?" I say turning to face him.

"I did. See?" He smiles showing me his teeth, making me giggle and pecks my lips. "I just thought you might be lonely in here by yourself" he says softly pecking my lips and pulls me in close to him and kisses me softly.

"I love you so much" he whispers into my lips. "I love you too" I smile kissing him once more and he breaks away slightly. "I loved you since the first time I laid eyes on you" he says softly. "Before I met you, I was so terrified of falling in love again and tried to deny it and kept trying convince myself this wasn't happening, but there something about you. You hadn't met me or even glanced in my direction, but I already felt something for you. And the first time we made love that was truly the first time i'd made love to a woman and meant it. And I meant what I said to you that day when I told you, you were special to me because you are. You taught me that it was ok to love again and I will always love you for that" he says softly and kisses me tenderly.

"And you've always been special to me too" I smile. "And when I started getting these feeling for you, I was so scared and confused at first because I had no idea what it felt like to be love. Not until I met you"
