Wrapped Around Your Finger

Chapter 24: Music Works Wonders

Sam's POV

I dragged both of my favorite boys to the music room. They seemed irritated and a bit cross with me but I didn't care. This was gunna happen they didn't have a choice. "Okay you two are going to have to play nice do you understand?" I asked as Luke removed his favorite guitar. Luke frowned in annoyance but nodded. Michael sneared but grunted in agreement. "You two annoy me." I grumped. "But you love me!" They both stated at the same time. Luke frowned and Michael glared and emitted a small growl. I however couldn't help but burst into a fit of hysterical giggles. "Whatever. What are we doing here?" Michael asked. "Quit being a grump Mikey. I can't stand my boyfriend and my best friend fighting." I said. Luke's eyes bugged. "Wait like official now? Sammy! I'm so happy for you!" Luke hugged me and I saw Michael smile out of the corner of my eye. " Okay you two... pick a song." I sat back and watched the two boys intently. "What about... Check Yes Juliet." Luke looked at me with an evil grin. Oh no. "And Sammy has to sing." Michael gave me a curious look. "You sing? I didn't know that." He said with a smile. "Yup she's really good too but she's got stage fright or something." Luke teased. They weren't fighting anymore at least. "Fine." I groaned. Luke counted to three and they began to start playing the familiar tune. When it was my turn I came in. " check yes juliet are you with me rain is falling down on the sidewalk I won't go until you come outside." Luke joined in with me as the song continued and finally Michael did too on the second chorus. I let the boys finish the song together and sat and listened. They were amazing together! It was incredible.  "Man you play really well." Michael told Luke. "Well your voice is badass. You sound way punk rock." Michael beamed at the compliment. The two boys played a few more songs testing their rang against the others'. Michael rougher voice complimented Luke's powerful one nicely. I was surprised that Mikey actually let Luke take the lead on most of the songs. "You guys are so good together! Like amazing!" I gushed excitedly. My boyfriend and my best friend were so talented. "Yeah I guess we are." Luke laughed and Michael to my surprise smiled and nodded. "Can we do this again sometime?" He asked and Luke and I looked shocked. "Uh yeah sure. Whenever you want." Luke said slowly testing to see if the red haired boy was kidding. "Awesome! Oh hey I think Ana is out of practice. You should go we got this right Sam?" I nodded in dismay and Luke took off to the soccer fields with a thank you shouted over his shoulder. "Well that worked out well." I said quite proud of myself. "Yeah it did! He's really cool actually. I thought he was kind of stuck up and shit but nah he's totally awesome. He's got great taste in music!" Michael gushed. "Whoa babe chill it. You're my boyfriend not his." He rolled his eyes and pulled me into his arms. "He's not my type." He whispered kissing my head. I smiled and took in the moment. "So, video games and pizza?" He asked keeping his arms around me. "Pepperoni and your place?" I answered his question with a question. "Duh and duh!" He laughed. We had come in separate cars so I drove home and changed into a pair of lounging shorts and a loose t-shirt before driving to Michael's while he went to get the pizza. "You're so cute when you dress down." He said hugging me close. "Thank you?" He laughed and picked me up and carried me squealing into his game room. "Put me down you behemoth!" I yelled and laughed. He dropped me onto the couch. "Behemoth... ouch." He acted wounded for a second but it only made me laugh harder. "What do you want to play?" He asked when our giggle fit subsided. "Hmmm some thing with zombies." I replied picking up a controller. "Zombies and pizza. Most romantic date ever." He smiled and put in CoD: Black Ops. "That's why you picked me." I said happily and grabbed a slice of pizza from the box and took a huge bite.  The cheese smacked my chin and I sucked it up then wiped my chin with my hand. "You're fucking adorable." Michael said sitting next to me laughing. He started the game and soon we were both focused on killing as many rotting bodies as possible. "Fuck! Ha take that bitch!" I yelled when a zombie cane up behind me and I took it out with my knife. "Mother fucker! Die!" Michael yelled shooting another one down. We yelled and cursed and fought. When the fourth round ended he declared his victory and I rolled my eyes. "Whatever no one likes a sore winner." I laughed as he did as goofy dance. "You're just jelly." I rolled my eys and laughed. "Whatever Clifford. You're going down next time!" I warned. Just then Michael's front door opened and a dark haired boy cane through. "Hey sorry if your busy dude I just.... idk need a friend." He said glancing at me then at Michael. "Cal man-" I held up my hand. "You can hang out with us Calum. I was just getting tired why don't y'all play Fifa?" There was something in his dark eyes and I knew it well. Heart break. He gave me a small smile and Michael put his arm around his friends shoulders after kissing my cheek. They sat on the couch and I sat on the floor between Michael's legs and watched them play. "Michael why are there so many cars!" A woman called from the back of the house. "Sorry mom! Sam and Calum are over." A back poodle came bounding into the living room. "Sam this is Federer. Federer say hi." Michael said to the dog. Federer lifted left paw like a make shift wave. "Oh how cute! Hi Federer!" I stood and introduced myself to Michael's mom. "Hi Mrs. Clifford I'm Sam." I shook her hand. "Hello Sam it's nice to finally meet you. Call me Karen." I smiled and nodded then I spent the rest of the afternoon watching the boys play.

Ana's POV

I was dying after soccer practice. Coach really made us make-up for this morning's practice. I wanted to lay down and die on the track. We ran so much! Probably more than I had ever in my life, but the good thing is we weren't going to have afternoon practice tomorrow. All we were going to have a light morning practice. I made a mental note to bring breakfast to school tomorrow. I layed on the soccer field and looked up at the sky as I felt the wind blow on my skin. It was a nice day out and we had an intense practice. My legs felt like jello and I had decided I was not going to move for awhile. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to rest. I was at peace until I heard footsteps. I opened my eyes and sat up to see the guy I was falling for. "Hey." I greeted him with a wide smile. "Hi, you look like you had a rough practice. Your hair is a mess." Luke teased. "Wow because that is exactly what a girl wants to hear," His face fell and I laugh. "I'm kidding Luke! Now help me up please." I hold out my hand for him to grab. He helps me up, but then does something I least expect, he pulled me on top of him. I stare into his eyes for a bit. "I like this." he says and I shake my head. "Luke you klutz. I can't believe you fell!" I laugh and so does he. "I did that on purpose." I rolled my eyes. "Okay whatever let's just get up." I told him and stood next to him as he got up from the field. "The grass is comfy. I can see why you like it." I give him a small smile. "Yeah it's nice to relax in, but not so nice to fall on. I will have so many grass scrapes once games start and bruises." I say proudly and get a funny look from Luke. "Why do you have that look? It sounds painful." I shrug my shoulders. "After more than 10 years of playing you get used to it." I state then hear. "Bye Luke! Bye Ana I'll catch ya later! I'm gonna go hang out with my girlfriend." Michael says happily and waves at us. "Wait since when did you and Michael start acting so civilized towards each other?" I asked then Luke just laughed. "We bonded over music. It speaks to us in ways." He explains to me. "It works wonders." I remark as Luke and I wave back at them then see Luke wave at Sam. She waves back at him so I decide to wave at her, but she decides to ignore it and not wave back before her and Michael walkaway. I sigh, "She hates me." Luke frowns, "She doesn't know you." I kick the ground then start walking slowly to the locker rooms. I see Calum heading the same way, "Hey Cal! Wait up!" I yell then see him turn around. Luke grabs my hand, which was weird even though I didn't mind. However, Calum just walked away as if he didn't hear me. I was starting to become angry at him. He had no reason for acting like such an ass. I look annoyed as Luke and I walked hand in hand to the locker room. "Don't look so grumpy. I don't like it when you're not smiling." He told me, I took a deep breath then told him, "But Calum has been acting strange and I have not given him a reason for him to act like he is right now." I reasoned with Luke. "It's okay Ana. Things will work out I promise. I mean you didn't think Michael and I would get along, yet here we are." He told me which I gave a small smile. "I guess you're right. So would you like a ride home?" I ask him. He nods then kisses my cheek then tells me, "Now go get changed so we can leave school." He says and smiles at me. "Okay." I tell him and start to head into the lockeroom, but before I did, I got on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek. I showered and changed then met Luke where I previously left him. "Hey Lukeee, wanna be my favorite person ever?" I asked cutely and batted my eyelashes. "What?" he asked curiously. "Can you carry my backpack?" I asked as I laugh nervously. "Depends...." He trails off. "On?" I ask him. "Can I kiss you again?" I blushed then nodded my head before he pressed his lips onto mine. He took my bag and hand as we walked to my car. "So can we just watch a movie at my place? I'm really tired and I just want to lay down." I tell Luke as we get into my car. "Yeah sure, whatever you want." I get in the driver's side of my car. "You treat me too well." I tell him giggling. "No, I treat you the way you are supposed to be treated." This made me smile and almost blush, so I decided to change the subject. "So did you get a lot of work done on your songs?" I asked. "Yeah I did. It's been easier now that I've found inspiration." He says and I can feel him looking at me as I look down the road. "Stop making me blush!" I tell him then hit him playfully as he just laughs at me.
