in an open relationship 2

No matter how far or how fast I try to run ,the track always leads me right back to where I started.... Back to you .

I step into the house to find almost everything in boxes ,just the couches and chairs are remaining, everything else has been removed and packed into these brown boxes scattered all around .

I didn't want to have to raise my baby alone , I didn't want to leave the town and everyone I love , I didn't want to move to a foreign country and live by the penny , I felt forced to but now I feel like I have an option .

Ethan is my option.

He promised to make sure that the baby and I are happy and I know he is good at keeping his word , it's not like I can go back to the baby's father , he has already made his choice and Ethan really does love me although he chose the worst way to express it in the past right now he's trying to rectify all of that , he made a mistake just like every human it would be wrong of me not to forgive him , I made a mistake but he still chose to love me ,not every man will consider the buy one get one free package deal especially one that came from an affair even after everything he still chose to marry me , if we keep trying I know we will get there , we'll go back to how we were , the relationship him and I have will grow stronger , my baby will have a father and a secure home .

With everything packed I'm guessing he knew I'd come back since he's already preparing for our move , that house is the perfect location for us with everything that's going on, the reporters don't know we bought it so they won't come flooding, there aren't as many people in the neighborhood as well ,it's the perfect start for us .

all the anger and bitterness I had towards him has disappeared like it was never there. The Truth I cannot turn from is the fact that I'm back here because I want to.

He keeps railing me back towards him and without any form of resistance I let him , simply because I want to .

What he did today made me see him in a different light, I was so sure that he'd never surrender his power for anything or anyone but he did .he sacrificed it all for me .

He climbs down the stairs not moving his dark circled eyes from me, wearing a black tight polo neck and black jeans , his face is pale and his hair looks like he just came from the shower . Everything about him makes my insides leap . If this is the toxic love that people keep talking against then I can't help but fall deeper.

He stops in front of me , the smell of fresh water is surrounding him .

The friction between us is somehow pulling us together, I can hear his heart beat and every air he exhales.

The temperature drops , imaginary wind hits my cheeks , a husband and wife face off.

" You are back " he says sternly not revealing any obvious emotion.

I nod," as you expected " .

" no - As I hoped. I thought you'd choose him over me , he still has everything and I'm about to lose everything . The notion you  have of me is wrong, I don't love money the way you think I do  ".

" What then ?what do you love?" .

He slowly lifts his hand to plug my hair behind my ear ," I've already said it " .

" I need to hear you repeat it before me ".

" I love you -Lauren Price. I'd rather have the whole world hate me but not you , I didn't know that before but I do now , I want you, not this house, not the world on a silver platter but you " , he says softly making me cave in .

I don't want to go with my assumptions, I want to hear it from him " And Austin's baby ?".

"the baby you are carrying is not Austin's, we are married, you and I are one , it's mine , I promised to give you two the best of me and I won't turn from that ".
