I'm not going

"I'm not going." I answered with confidence. Sarah gave me a quizzical look. She doesn't seem to catch on to what I'm saying.

"I'm not going back to California. I'm staying." I explained. Realization dawned on her. Shock registered on Sarah's face which immediately changed to a hint of happiness.

"That baby deserves a father. I left you before but I'm not leaving you again." Sarah tried to suppress her happiness but the joy was too big to hold back.

Sarah launched into my arms with tear flowing from her eyes. I caught her and we embraced for a long time. "Thank you." she whispered over and over. I pulled back and cupped her face. She closed her eyes, sensing what is going to happen. Our lips met and we kissed with as much passion as we can muster.

My hands roamed her curvy body. I relished in the feeling of her hip and back as our tongue danced with each other. Eventually, the need for air was too great and we pulled back.

"Best kiss ever." panted Sarah. I could only smile at her.

"I wasn't going to leave you." I said after catching my breath. Sarah looked at me, waiting for me to say more. "I was offered a job in California for a video game company. They told me that I would be paid more than a million dollars to work for them." Sarah's eyes lit up at the number.

"At first, I accepted. The CEO told me to think about it and he'll call back. Then, I thought about my times here and the moments with you. I enjoyed it so much. I was torn between the money or my friends and family. However, my mind was settled on staying here until you left me. Even during our 'breakup', I thought about you. I wanted to leave because there was nothing left for me here but now that we are going to have a baby, I'm not leaving."

Sarah's faced lit up at my explanation. "I'm sorry for slapping you." she told me. I waved it off. "Its fine."

"Did you really turn down millions of dollars just for me?" asked Sarah, her voice dripping with love. I nodded. I suddenly felt tired and climbed onto Sarah's bed. She got on also and let out a tired yawn. "It's tiring to be carrying around a kid." she remarked. I chuckled and put my arms around her. We fell asleep in each other’s arms.
