The Midnight Gang

Chapter 18

About 2 hours had passed when I finally woke up. Instead on sitting up, I was now laying down on the sofa with a strong arm wrapped around me. I turned my head to see who it was and of course it was Michael. I smiled slightly to myself then tried to get up but he just tightened his grip on my and grumbled.

"Five more minutes." He said in a deep voice that put butterflies in my stomach.

I smiled.

"Michael, it's been two hours."

"I don't care, just lay with me for some more. Please?"

I sighed.

"Fine but let me make sure where everybody else is."

"Okay." He lifted his arm so I could get up. I walked into the kitchen to find a note on the side written by Aaron,

'Be back soon. Didn't want to wake you two. You looked cute together. Everybody's out on a walk. Love you. See ya soon xx.'

Well, that answered my question, so I walked back to the sofa and Michael's eyes were open.

"Hi." He spoke.

"Hi."

"So, where is everybody?"

"They all went on a walk and I believe they took Antonio with them. Basically, no one's home."

"Okay. So, are you just going to stand there looking cold and lonely or are you going to lie back down here with me?"

I smiled.

"Your cocky when you're not being watched by people. Anyway, aren't you supposed to be watching me? Not falling asleep."

"I am watching you. And It's easier to watch you when I'm holding you close."

I blushed a bit.

"Gone a bit red there. You look cold. Come here."

"I'm not cold. I'm fine."

He stood up and walked over to me so like an idiot I walked backwards and soon enough my back collided to the wall and he was standing right in front of me. He bent down and whispered in my ear,

"Your blushing Black."

I knew that if I spoke, I'd trip over my words. So, I stayed quiet.

"I'm sure you were warmer and more comfortable on the sofa, so want to cuddle again?"

"We w- weren't cuddling."

"Sure we weren't. Let's put it simply. I like you. You like me. What's stopping us from dating?"

"My father."

"Just forget about him for a minute. I like you. You like me. Want to go out?"

I kissed him. Like an idiot, I didn't say anything, but I kissed him.

He kissed me back though. His arms wrapped around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled me close to him so there was no space between us.

I pulled away.

"Does that give you an answer?"

"Yep." He said while smiling.

"Come on, they'll be back soon, and I don't need to listen to them talking. I also want to sleep of this headache."

"Okay."

We walked back to the sofa and as soon as I laid down, his arm was wrapped around my waist where it felt like it was supposed to be.

The last thing I heard before I fell asleep was the front door opening and my friend's voices floating through the air.
