"I'm sorry" He suddenly said
"Apologizing now is not helping, Michael, that should have been done 20 years ago"
"You never gave me the chance to"
And then it hit her, it was true, she never gave him room to apologize, after him leaving when she had wanted more, she had foolishly given herself to her best friend then...it...was really...and now she realizes, part of it were her fault
"I...I.." She stuttered as all her emotions burst out, what happened to giving him a hard time, she kept trying to stop it but it kept coming down
"Shhhh..." Michael wrapped his arms around her "It's okay, it was my fault, I'm sorry, Tasha.."
"I'm sorry too, Michael, I never gave you the chance to apologize for everything then I was so foolish and selfish and.."
"Stop blaming yourself, it's okay"
She pulled out of the hug even though that was what she needed right now, she sat on her bed staring blankly to the floor
"Where is she?" He asked
"She is fine" Tasha whispered weakly
"I want to see my child, Tasha" He begged
"Rahila is not your child!" She answered calmly
"Rahila...her name is beautiful"
"She is not your child!"
"Kenneth's child then?"
Tasha kept silent biting her lips
"He never wanted her"
"But still, he is her father and I can't stop her from seeing him" She finally looked up
"So that is apparently where she went to today?"
"Yeah" Tears rolled down her cheeks again
"You should stop crying, Tasha, I hate seeing you crying when I know I'm behind those tears"
"You caused it" She whispered, Michael pulled her up again into his arms "I don't care if we are almost forty now, it doesn't change the fact that this heart is beating for you and you only" He placed her hands on his chest staring into her eyes
