'Can I borrow your kiss? I promise I'll give it back.'


"Hi!", Max beamed, untangling herself from her boyfriend before pulling Eleanor into a tight embrace.

"Hey!", Eleanor greeted her best friend while the guys greeted each other with bro handshakes.

"Your place is lovey, you guys.", the redhead complimented, her ocean eyes scanning the brightly lited cabin. "Do you mind showing me around, I'd love to explore this beautiful place of yours."

Eleanor stole a suspicious glance from Mike before turning back to Max. "Yeah, sure. Mike w-"

" I'm sure Mike wants to have some alone time with the boys. Right, Wheeler?", Max asked, raising her brows at Mike. Before he could answer, Dustin cut him off by saying,

"Yeah, I'm sure he does. Come on Mike.", he said, dragging Mike into the kitchen, Will and Lucas following behind.

"What the hell's going on?", Mike growled, yanking his arm from Dustin's hold.

"Yeah, Mike, what the hell's going on?", Lucas repeated, holding up his phone which displayed a photo of Mike and Stacy stood in the supermarket facing each other. Mike's eyes widened in shock. 'Holy fuck.', he mentally cursed himself.

"H-How'd you get this?", he strutted, not knowing where to start.

"It doesn't matter how we got it, Mike,", Will sighed in frustration.

"How could you do this to Eleanor, you piece of shit?", Lucas barked, trying to keep his voice low, not wanting Eleanor to hear this horrible conversation.

"Look, I can explain-"

"Explain what Mike? That you used her to get back with Stacy?", Dustin cut him off, shaking his head in disbelief.

"To get away from Stacy.", Mike corrected, making the boys look at him in pure confusion.

"What?"

Mike sighed deeply, knowing that this conversation was going to change everything between him and the party. "Remember that day, when I yelled at El at the cafeteria? For sitting on my seat?"

"Who the hell are you and what the fuck are you doing on my seat". His actions caught Elanor off guard but she managed to pull herself together. "I'm sorry is your name written on this seat? Oh yeah it's not!", Eleanor snapped.

The party nodded, gesturing for him to continue. "Well, after that, Stacy and I had a little 'chat'."

"About what Mike?", Lucas pressed, growing impatient.

"We umm made a deal.", Mike sighed, his guilt filling his body.

"A deal about what?", Will furrowed his brows curiously.

"About El.", Mike swallowed harshly, not being able to get words out of his mouth.

"Don't you think I can make it happen?"

"Make what happen?"

"Make her fall in love with me"
