A/N: Mariana's sexy outfit 😜❤️^^

When Mariana reached the gates, Micah was stood on the other side, in a navy blue suit. He opened the gates for her and let her drive through.

When she parked her car, she got out and then sauntered back to Micah at a calm pace with her purse in her hand. She was a bit nervous because of their earlier interaction, but the only comfort she could hold onto was that his expression wasn't cold or anything similar, it was just neutral.

"Mariana..." her name slipped out from his lips. Its alluring softness tickled the air around them as he embraced her. "I missed you." He brought her face close and started kissing her like he wanted to eat her face. He didn't realize until now that she was right in front of him, how much he had missed her. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder.

His loving affection made any feeling of doubt dissipated from her mind. Even though she felt slightly uncomfortable because of his past with Electra, she couldn't resist melting into his arms. Anytime she was secured in them, it was like the whole world stopped turning, and the sounds of the night faded out, and they were in their own little world.

"Tell me, Mariana," he suddenly let go and held her at arms length, his eyes bore straight into hers as his voice turned serious. "What did I do to make you so mad last time?"

Mariana's breath hitched inside her throat and her shoulders tensed in his grip. She didn't expect that question, but the saturnine look in his eyes took her back to when they talked on the phone, was he still thinking about that?

"I—um—"

"Actually," he interrupted her, "let's go have dinner first, and then we can talk about it." He put out his hand which she took and she let him lead the way to where they were going to eat.

They went into this little area which had a roof over it but its walls were open; four dishes were on a table but they were covered. The scene was surrounded by scented candles that emitted blue and some pink. The smell of blueberry and strawberry filled the air.

Micah pulled out a chair for her and gave her one last kiss on the cheek. "I love you." He said before going to sit opposite in his seat.

Mariana pulled the cover off her plate and her eyes widened as they gazed upon the dish. It was chopped pasta that had been saturated in sauce and had cheese sprinkled on top with basil leaves. 

It was known as rigatoni with vodka sauce and her mother always used to make it on special occasions. She never forgot those days but seeing it in front of her brought those memories to life.

"Thank you, Micah..." her words were sweet like sugar as they came off her tongue of sincerity. She smiled as she dug into the food. She savored the rich sweetness and moaned in delight. Oh, how she dearly loved Micah's cooking.

Micah was also eating but rather slowly as his head was low, close to his plate. He let out a low sigh like he was exhausted and his eyes were cloudy.

Mariana noticed this and wondered what was going on in his head. He didn't make eye contact and his mind seemed to be somewhere else.

"Micah."

"Yeah?" He looked up and she noticed that he had completely got rid of his beard, only a fade of black remained, making him look years younger in the light.

"W—What happened to your beard?" She didn't want it gone and didn't like how he now looked.

"I shaved it off for a change."

"Oh, when will it grow back?"

"It normally grows back quickly so it should be fully grown in a month."

"Oh okay!" Her face lighted up when knowing that his beard will be back to normal. She was missing it already.

"By the way, sorry about earlier, I wasn't in a good mood."

"Is it because of me?"

"No, something else," his eyes quickly darted to the side, his lips briefly curved into a frown.

"Do you mind telling me?"

"It's too personal," he mumbled and wrapped his arms around himself to protect his thoughts and feelings.

"Mm alright," she wasn't going to pry any further, in case she will ruin the moment so they just continued eating.

"Also, this Sunday, my mom has got something for you."

"Really?"

"Come this Sunday and you'll get a lovely surprise."

"Ooh okay!" She was quite excited about what it could be.

They continued eating. Mariana was having a good time but Micah was quite disturbed. He could barely touch his food because there was something that still needed to be resolved.

He suddenly dropped his fork and went backward a little. "You know what, I can't take this anymore, come sit here, we're going to discuss this right now. He patted his legs, making Mariana get up in confusion and plopped down on his lap.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him.

"Tell me, Mariana, what's wrong?" He gently lifted her chin.

Mariana looked around, anywhere except his eyes. She tried to wiggle out but Micah held her in place. Well, now there was no escape, now was the time to talk.

She took a deep breath in and looked up with a sad face. "Electra... I spoke to her recently."

Micah's face froze and his hands dropped. He couldn't believe that she actually met Electra and that's why she's been acting like this. Who knows what dirty lies Electra's been filling her head with?

"What did she say to you?"

Mariana bit her lip and her face suddenly started to sweat. Looking at Micah now and thinking back to Electra's words and what they've possibly done together, her words spluttered out.

"Who do you love more? Me or her?" Asking this question hurt her deeply, she never thought that it would get to this. But she felt that she needed confirmation before Electra got even worse.

"Mariana I love you more, and only you," he responded. However, she still wasn't fully convinced.

"What has Electra been saying to you?"

She fiddled with her fingers as she stared down at them. Thinking about what Electra said made her feel sick to the pit of her stomach.

"I don't want to say, but some things she said to me was you're going to be hers soon and she said I'm worthless, and... I'm like your little maid," she mumbled the last bit with slight anger in her voice.

"You know, there is a bit of irony to the last thing you just said which I'm not gonna talk about right now, but Mariana I love you okay." He held her hands and slowly stroked them." There's not a woman in this world that can take me away from you, you don't have to worry. Even though I had something with Electra it's in the past now Mariana, it's in the past. It's not going to come back."

He wiped the tears that started to drip down out of her eyes. "I love you Mariana..." he caressed her cheeks, pinching them gently as he slowly kissed her lips.

Mariana kissed back as he brought her closer. She felt that his words were true and that she can trust that no one is taking her baby away from her.

"Okay Micah," she mumbled and then continued kissing him.

He went around her neck and down her collarbone and chest, making her slightly ticklish. His hands roamed around her dress until they got to the straps.

"Did I tell you that this dress looks gorgeous on you?" He said, fiddling with the crystal straps.

"Really?" She couldn't help giggling.

"Yeah," he pressed her body against his, inhaling her scent and enjoying her bit of her.

"Hey Mariana, did you know there's a jacuzzi near here?"

"No..."

"Do you wanna go?"

"Okay!"

Micah got off his chair, he left Mariana secure in his arms as she wrapped her legs around his waist. They kept kissing each other as he walked out and towards where the jacuzzi was.

When they reached there, Micah took off his blazer before Mariana got in and pulled him in with her.

She immersed herself underwater and gracefully came out. Her hair was drenched, with water spraying everywhere and her face dripping but she had a smile on her face. She got closer to Micah and kissed him on the lips.

"I love you too," she said.

"I love you too." He returned.
