“I’m sorry that you got stuck with me.”
Mike looks up from his work, taking in your face like he’s searching for something. “What are you talking about?”
The marriage was arranged, something neither of you asked for. You know he had a girl before you, young and pretty by the name of Alice, but you don’t know where she went because no one will talk about her. Everything seems to you like getting married cost him a lot, especially given people’s accounts that he’s been so much more subdued since you came into the picture.
“I just- I dunno, it’s stupid. I feel like I’m not what you wanted.”
“Babygirl, listen to me,” he says. He gets up and comes to the edge of the bed to kneel in front of you. “The first second I saw you, I couldn’t get over how beautiful you were. Are. And I got to know you and you’re so sweet, and smart, and loving, and amazing in every way. I didn’t ‘get stuck with you,’ I got blessed. Don’t think those things about yourself.”
He takes one of your hands and kisses your knuckles before getting up to kiss you once and returning to his work.
Another amazing au!
