~ Los Angeles, the Cliffside Villa ~
8:36 AM
Michael woke up and the first thing he saw was Oni's sleeping face.
If he needs to pick one word to describe how he feels, that would be: happy.
The two of them made love long into the night, but that is not the only reason for his happiness because this is much more than a physical experience. For the first time in his life, Michael feels that he truly belongs somewhere: by Oni's side.
By the way Oni looks at him (when she is awake), he can see that she trusts him and loves him and that he is her priority, and he hopes that he will not mess this up because he can truly see his future by her side as a good one.
He remembered their talk from last night about the commitment and he realizes that his silence is not doing him any good.
Michael hopes that Oni knows how much she means to him, but he was never good with words, so he decided to start with breakfast.
