Stay By You

Michael looked deeply into my eyes. I had looked into his eyes many times, but I found that each time he looked at me more affectionately than the last, which confirmed to me that he was deeply loved.

Michael raised his spoon and fed me a mouthful. I smiled and bit into the food. We had a nice, warm dinner.

When Michael put his arm around my shoulder and wanted to take me to the bedroom, he hummed a tune to show that he was happy. I thought it was a good time to ask him for something.

"Michael?" I whispered.

"Hmm?" Michael looked back at me with a smile in his eyes.

I thought for a moment before deciding to change the topic. "I've thought about you telling me to return to school."

"Hmm, what's the result of your consideration? You don't have to worry about school. You can go back anytime you want. The school won't make things difficult for your absence," Michael said.

"Uhm, I want to apply for a suspension temporarily," I said.
