Infinate Stand

Chapter 6

"So, whats up with you and Mike?" Rebecca asks as we sit down on the sofa, i finally convinced Rebecca to drive me home, it was 7:30 by the time we got back to my house. "What, you mean like, do i like him? Yeah, i mean he is really goodlooking!" I say as Rebecca glares at me amused.

"Are you two an item now?" Rebecca asked and i shrugged. I dont even know the answer to that. Are we?

"I mean, im still in shock that he fancied you all those years and never did anything about it!" She says and i agree with her, nodding my head.

"Yeah, okay Terese, i'll come over now. See you then, bye." My mum walks into the sitting room with a frown on her face.

"Honey, im going over to Terese's. She is freaking out over George leaving again, i wont be back until late" She gives me a kiss on my cheek before leaving the house.

"Seriously, though.. You guys really do look good together." Rebecca say's, continuing our conversation.

"Wait, what are you gonna do if he proposes!?" Rebecca asks me and i laugh. "Woah, back up there Becks, i hardly know him!" I tell her and she continues "Yeah, but what if he proposes to you because your pregnant?" She asks me.

"I'll say no, I hate marriage, always have, always will. I don't see the point in it really" I say, and she gasps. "Lexi, you can't be serious!" Little does she know, i am deadly serious, i was never one of them girls who would have their wedding planned from when the were little.

"But Lexi -" Just as Rebecca begins to speak, there is a knock on the front door. I walk through the door of the sitting room and open the front door. I smile instantly when i see Mike, partly because he just saved me from what more than likely would have been a big speech on why i need to get married.

"Bad time?" He asks me, and i shake my head. I tell him to come in and he follows behind me into the sitting room.

"Mike!" Rebecca shouts when Mike enters the sitting room. "Would you tell Lexi that marriage is a good thing?" She says, standing up next to Mike.

"Huh? What?" Mike says, clearly confused at the concept of marriage just being flung at his face.

"Well, im gonna get going, leave you two- sorry three, to it." She says, as she gives me a hug goodbye and tells me she'll see me tomorrow, i wave goodbye to her at the door and go back inside.

I walk back into the sitting room to see Mike sitting down on the sofa. "What was that all about?" He asks when he notices me standing in the doorway. "Oh, nothing; i told Rebecca i didnt like marriage and she freaked out."

"I never liked it either really, to be honest; i mean i thought all girls like marriage, the thought of the big white dress, the party, the gifts" He says and i shake my head. "Nope, not me" i tell him, totally truthful.

"So, hows your day been?" He asks and i let out a big sigh.

"That bad, huh? Well, mine wasnt much better" He tells me, and i look at him with a confused look on my face.

"Actually Lex I..." Just as he begins to speak the front door opens and my mum walks through it. I greet her and ask why shes back so early and she tells me Terese and George made up as she walks in to sit down and turn back to Mike.

"Sorry, what were you trying to say" I say and smile.

"Uh, nevermind. I..I better get going, I'll text you later, yeah? He says and i look over to my Mum, she is just as confused as me. Within a second, he was gone. I wonder what that was all about.

Mike's POV

"FUCK" I yell and hit my hands against the steering wheel. Why did i just do that, why couldn't i tell her!? I dont even care, if she doesn't say it back, i just need her to know how i feel, i have loved this girl since primary school, ever since i used to see her playing skipping in the playground, and smiling when she would win a game of 'Hide & Seek' i was just too stupid to realise it, until now.
