He disappeared into the closet when he located the door, not bothering with breathing a word in acknowledgement of my presence. I feel like bursting. He walked out of the closet shirtless, with a towel hanging over his neck. I watched as he figured out the door to the bathroom and went into it. There were no appreciative words for helping him unpack, nor did he say a word in gratitude for helping him draw a bath. It became crystal clear that Mike was intent on keeping the silent treatment going when he ate dinner, called the front desk to come wheel out the remnants, and ordered extra pillows and bedspreads. I couldn't hold it in anymore. "You can as well order a bed and have it shipped to the te

Almighty Mike:It wasn't fair how I couldn't even stay mad at this woman for twenty four hours, without her getting to find out about a wrongdoing of mine that would require that I apologised to her. This time though, I was in no mood to indulge in her emotional blackmail, even though I was clearly at fault. Maybe her leaving by day break would be for the benefit of all parties  involved. I was tired of dealing with her baseless tantrums, I wanted to chill and relax for a change. That was my way of justifying the stupidity that'd prompted me to convince her into vacationing in the same state where the Arch Angel's were planning to have the biggest get-together in the history of get together. I refused to allow myself feel bad for my selfishness. Well all that was until

I still felt it so strange, even as I now involuntarily drew closer to where he stood, how absolute and consuming the love I felt for this criminal was; it was unadulterated, electric, encompassing;And the most surreal of all—I realised as he plucked off the blunt from between his lips and gave a small sigh, his mesmerised eyes locking with mine all though—it was mutual. The degree of craze I felt for him was the same he felt right back, if not more. There and then, regardless of toxicity or otherwises, I realised we were meant to be together,perfecting our imperfections as partners.  We were both scarred by our pasts as well as we were worlds apart and dwelling on those shortcomings will inevitably make us hurt one another over and over, until we both learn how to be accepting of who we were and move on to the next stage. That was the reason I'd agreed, after hugging Mike so close that I could breathe in his exhale, fo
