Twisted Love

Chapter 24

Mitchell

I was eating a bag of Doritos while sitting in frobt of the tv when i heard the front door open. My hand froze midway with the chip in my hand. He was home. I didnt knnow how to feel about it. I dont know if i coukd face alex. Not after how he haf treated me. I got up from my position and was about to go wheb his voice stopped me.

"Mitchell. Please stop."

There was a pleading  tone to his voice. I stared at the bag of chips in my hands. I had never felt so low in my life before. The one thing ihad thought of necer throwing away i just did just that. Atleast  thats what alex made me feel. But the pleading voice in his voice made me stop.

"Look i know that i havd been a dick," alex said.

Talk about that. I rolled my eyes at that thanking that alec was facing my back. I dont think i would have looked up ar him just yet. I dont say anything to his statement and i guess that he realizes that i wasnt going to speak.

"I am sorry about the morning mitchwll. I truly am. You had to know it was my first as well," he said.

I froze at his words. This was hus first time as well? But did he had to be a complete dick in the morning? Ge made me feel completely and uterly worthless. Just like sam. I shook my head to get rid of the thought. I wanted to move farword and it wasnt goinf to happen until i completely forgot about him.

"I came to amend my mistake mitchell. You have tp understand that it wasnt easy for me. I didnt knew how to act mitch!"

St that i finally turned around to facce alex. Both of his hands were behind his back and he was wearing the mosr apologetic look i had ever seen. It made my heart melt.

"Still you could have done better than how you acted," i muttered.
"I hope these would make you understand how sorry i am?" Alex asked.

He held out his hands and i saw that he was holding abbouqet of flowers and a box of chocolate. I didnt know why but just the sight of these things made me smile.

"Fine. You are forgiven," i said.
"Thanks," alex said, handing the flowers to me, "i hope you like these."
"I love them," i said, smelling the flowers.
"Dont bother with dinner. You and i are going out tonight," alex said, as he walked past me to his room.

Setring the box of chocolate aside i placed the bouqet of flowers in a vase in the living room. They were just so pretty. Alex apologizing about his behavior sure had made me happy. In a better mood now i went to my own room to see what i should wear tonight.

As i was looking through my clothes it dawned on me that it was the first time since alrx was taking me out on his own. My hand stilled on a piece of cloth as a i felt stomach clench at the thought. Should i go witv him or not?

Alex

Seeing mitchell smile like that made me feel relaxrd and for the first time since our marriage made me happy. But i soon frowned as i remembered that just a minute earlier i had said to mitchelk that we were going out. Great. Why couldnt i think before axting?

Glancing at my watch there was just enough time for ne to take a nap before taking mitchell out.

At dinner time

I wore a casual dress since i wasnt in the mood to go to a formal place. It wasnt like i needed mitchell to be impressed by me anyway. Especially not adter what we had done. I couldnt stop the smile that spread on my face as i thought about last night. If i am being completely honest then that was the best night of my life.

After i got ready i walked out of my room to mitchells and knocked on the door. I only had to wait for a few seconds before the door was opened by mitchwll herself. She looked fabulous. She was also wearing a casual dress but somehow her flushed cheeks added in the beauty. I could feel a shift in air between us. Not wanting to ponder too much i broke the silence by saying, "lets go shall we?"

Mitchell only nodded to my question and the two of us walked out of our apartment. I drove towards my favorire fast food place of all time. I wanted mirchell to get to know the real me.

"I hope we arent going anywhere formal," mitchell said.
"Dont woery. I am taking you to a casual place," i said.

After this there was silence and as i stopped ay a red light i turned to mitchell to see her already loking at me.

"Whats yiur favorite color?" I asked.

My question caused mitchell to let out a small laugh.

"Whats so funny?" I asked, frowning.
"Are you playing the twenty questions game with me?" Mitchell asked.
"If it would help get to know you better then yes," i shrugged my shoulders.
"In that case i get to ask you questions as wrll," mitchell said.
"Sure go ahead," i said.
"My favorite color is yellow. Yours?" She asked.
"Yellow?" I asked, surprised.
"Yup. Why do you sound so surprised?" She asked.
"I thought girls liked pink," i ssid.
"Well i dont. What about you?" She asked.
"I havent avtually thought about it," i shrugged.
"Come on. Everybody has a favorite color," she said.
"Whar was it like to grow up with two brothers?" I asked.
"Totally overprotextive. And still are," mitchell laughed.

We arrived at my place which was called Burger King.

"Burger king?" Mitcgell aaked.
"You dont like this? We can go somewhere else," i said.
"No its just i didnt thought this was your kind of place," she said.
"You dint know a lot of things about me mitvhell," i pounted out.
"True," she nodded.

The two of us walked into the restaurant not caring that we would be faced with the rwo demons from our past.
