Annie's POV
I drove home, thinking of what I just did. I had kissed Johnny. What was I going to tell Michael? Don't tell him at all.,a voice in my head said.
I can't lie to Michael. Not again. It hurts to lie to him.,another voice said. But I chose to lie. Again. I had told him that I was going to visit my mother (lies), bit she had been dead for many years now. I will tell him that I just found out she had died already (lies. lies. lies. you were by her side when she left. lies. lies. lies.)
I reached the gates of Neverland and I drove past them, seeing my baby girl running in the field in the distance, with her father trailing behind. I smiled, but the rotten feeling bubbled up inside me, causing my smile to disappear.
I climbed out of the car and slammed the car door, wincing at the loud noise. I heard the faint voice of my daughter.
"Mommy! Mommy, you're home!",Janiya squealed, running toward me. I smiled, ignoring the feeling. I opened my arms and she ran into them.
"Hi, baby girl!",I said, giggling. I looked up and saw Michael walking toward us. I smiled up at him and he smiled down at me.
"Can I go play inside, Mommy?", Janiya asked. I nodded and smiled at her.
"Of course, Jani. I'll be inside in a minute." She kissed my cheek and ran inside. I stood up and faced Michael. He smiled at me.
"So, how's your mother?",he asked, stepping closer to me.
I looked down, trying to hide my guilt. "She... I... found out that she has been gone for years now... since my baby boy was 2.(lies. lies. lies.)",I said, memories of my mother coming to me.
"Oh my god. I'm so sorry.",he said softly. I looked up at him, smiling weakly.
"It's alright."
He reached for my hand, caressing it. He ran his finger up my arm slowly. I smirked and giggled. I was ticklish, I admit. He ran his hand over my shoulder and to the back of my neck. I moved closer to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. He pulled my head closer to his. I felt his lips against mine and I closed my eyes, smiling. I kissed back and I felt better, but the guilt remained inside me. I broke away and hid my face against his neck, hugging him. He wrapped his arms around me, kissing my cheek.
I thought of Johnny. I wondered what he did after I left him standing there by the old barn. Probably scream in rage or just drive off home. I never thought he would be following me, looking for me....
