Michael just landed in the capital of the country, Washington D.C. his luggage was light for he only brought pijamas and some hygenic stuff like deodarant and toothpaste.

Thanks to his PI, Michael new exactly where she was located and was heading her way right now.

Back home, Marissa waited for the inevitable she knew that wherever she went Michael would always find her. There was no use in hiding anymore.

Marissa called Lincoln and warned him to keep Lauren away and avoided all his questions while she waited for the knock that would change her life, again.

And there it was.

A soft almost inaudible knock.

"Marissa" He said as soon as she opened the door.
"Michael"

Michael looked worned out. His eyes were puffy and had dark bags below them. His facial hair started poking out of his skin and he smelled like mint.

On the other hand, Marissa looked better than ever before through Michael's eyes. She was only wearing a white blouse and shorts and yet Michael's eyes were ready to pop out of his head.

"I've missed you" Michael spoke after some time.

Marissa said nothing.

There was nothing to say. The man in front her used her up and threw her away afterwards. He claimed to love her and yet he was seeing so many women behind her back.

But Marissa was thankful for all he did to her. Because of Michael, Marissa was able to have a child she loves more than anything and she was also able to find Lincoln.

Michael sighed and brushed his hair back with his fingers.

"Are you going to invite me in?" He asked.
"No" Marissa said immediately.

Michael nodded.

"That's fine. I'll be staying at the Hilton hotel two blocks away when you're ready to talk" Michael said as he handed Marissa a strip of paper with his room and phone number.

Michael forced a smile before turning to leave.

"And incase you're wondering. I'm not leaving until you're mine again" Michael revealed.
"Then I guess you'll be here forever"

"Oh my god, Michael Jones what an honor!" The lady at the front desk exclaimed.

Michael forced a smile as he walked towards the woman.

"I made a reservation" He said as he watched the woman lean across the counter displaying her breasts Michael decided to look at her name tag instead that displayed the name Kate in golden calligraphy.

Michael had no interest in the redhead in front of him. She was good looking there was no denying that but he wanted someone else.

Kate sighed as she noticed Michael did not want anything to do with her and handed him his card.

"Thank you" Michael said.

Inside of his new home, Michael went crazy. He teared off the sheets to the bed, slammed the lamp onto the floor, broke the curtains, and smashed the mirror.

For once in his entire life he was able to feel what Marissa did years ago, a heartbreak.

When Marissa divorced him, Michael thought nothing of it. He started hanging out more with friends and became a free spirit. It was months later when he realized what he had done.

Yet, the pain was barley there.

His mother forced him to go on dates with women and to fornicate. That was her way of distracting Michael from the reality.
