Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 46: Milk

*2 WEEKS LATER*

I lay on top of Michael breathing heavily. My head rests on his chest and I listen to his heart thump really fast. He runs his hand through my hair, moving it away from my hot and sticky face. I look up at him and smile widely. He smiles and strokes my back.

"That was so good." I say through a breath. "You just kept going."

He chuckles.

"I can't get enough of you."

I smile.

"I came like 4 times... actually 5... I don't know, I wasn't actually counting but it felt like a lot."

Michael laughs and kisses me.

"I love watching you cum."

"You do?" I smirk.

"Yeah, it's sexy. Your whole body shakes and you bite down on your lip."

"Well, you're pretty good at making me cum."

"I always aim to please."

"And you always succeed." I laugh.

He smirks and kisses me softly. We lay holding each other for a little while, until our breathing steadies. He faces me and tucks my hair behind my ear.

"I'm gonna go away for a while."

I lower my eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"To get clean. I can't do it by myself."

I stare in to his eyes.

"I can help you?"

"No." He shakes his head. "I don't want you to see me go through it all like that. I'm not going to be very well, and it wont be nice for you to see. I think I need to be some where with doctors and all that shit."

I nod slowly.

"Ok." I run my hand through his hair. "How long will you be gone for?"

"I'm not sure. A little while."

"Weeks, months?"

"I don't know. A month or two maybe. I need to see what they say..."

"Ok." I nod.

"I still want to see you though." He says kissing my arm. "But just not for the first few weeks because I'll look and feel like shit."

"You could never look like shit." I smile.

"That's true." He smirks.

I roll my eyes.

"I think it's a brave thing you're going to do. I'm proud of you. Take as much time as you need."

"Thanks baby." He smiles and kisses me.

I smile against his lips and kiss him back. We lay with each other for a little bit longer and then get up and take a shower. We both get changed and go down stairs. I sit at the kitchen table thinking. I really admire Michael. I think he's so brave...

"Do you mind if we go to the supermarket real quick before I take you back home?"

I need to be brave too. I need to leave Marcus.

"Layla?"

"Sorry, what?" I say snapping out of my thoughts.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, sorry. What did you say?"

"Do you mind if we go to the supermarket real quick before I take you back home?"
