Feeling guilty

Micheal's POV

"I'm sorry" I whisper as Leanne, puts her arms around me and pulls me back closer to her. "It's ok. Just try and relax" she whispers sleepily, while gently twisting my curls and once again I start drifting back to sleep.

After what happened in my office yesterday, I've been so torn on what to do. I haven't been able to sleep properly which means Leanne hasn't either. I don't mean to keep waking her up, but because she's such a light sleeper, everytime I start tossing and turning it wakes her up and she puts her arms back around me and starts playing with my hair to help me fall back to sleep.

Shortly after falling back to sleep, I wake up again only this time Leanne isn't by my side which makes me feel really cold and lonely, so I get up to go and look for her.

Leanne's POV

It's 4:30 an after trying for hours. I still haven't been able to fall asleep and I could see Micheal was having the same problem, so once he finally fell asleep I made my way downstairs and turned the TV on low so I don't disturb  him.

"I've been downstairs about 20 minutes and Michael walks into the living room. "I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" I whisper and he shakes his head. "I'm sorry I kept waking you up" he mumbles sitting beside me on the sofa.

"You didn't. I couldn't sleep anyway" I shrug "is there something on your mind?" He asks and I shake my head "I'm fine" I smile at him through pursed lips and he smiles back the same way, but I can see he's upset. "It's ok" I say softly, pulling him closer to me and he wraps his arms tightly around me.

We both sit silently watching a movie and eventually we both fall back asleep.

I wake up and see that it's 9:30. "Wow! We need to start getting up" widen my eyes looking at the time "I'll go make us some breakfast" I smile and peck Michael's lips and he smiles slightly as I make my way into the kitchen.

Micheal's POV

I feel a little better after finally managing to get some sleep, but I still feel bad about keeping Leanne up most of the night. She hasn't said or acted like she's pissed off, but I know deep down she must be since she's had to stay awake all night trying to help me sleep.

Leanne's POV

"I'm really sorry about.. "

"So do you have much planned for today?" I cut off Micheal's apology as he's walking into the kitchen.

"Not really. I have a meeting this morning, but other than that it's just going over contracts and stuff" he shrugs "about last night. I'm.."

"Michael, you don't need to apologise . I told you already. It's not your fault I couldn't sleep. I just had stuff on my mind is all" I cut him off.

"Do you wanna talk about it? He asks softly. "Not really"

"Well you know I'm here if you do" he smiles and pecks my lips then goes and sits down at the table. "Do you have any plans for today?" He asks. "Just shopping with LaToya"

"Anything else?"

"We'll probably get some lunch while we're out too" I say and begin eating my breakfast.

After we're done with breakfast Micheal goes for a shower and and I get a text from LaToya saying she's stuck in traffic and and might be a little late.

"Who you texting?" I Michael says as he puts he arms around me which makes me jump slightly. "LaToya's stuck in traffic and might be a little late" I explain turning to face him and wrap my arms around his neck. "Your gonna be late too if you don't hurry" I say kissing him softly then go to break away, but he leans forward continuing our kiss. "I don't wanna leave you here alone" he mumbles onto my lips. "I'll be ok" I smile and he ignores me and pulls me in closer to him.
