More Than Friends...

Chapter 14: Leaving

I woke up the next morning before Mikey and when my eyes flutter open my gaze meets with Mikey's innocent face. He had one arm under my neck and the other was wrapped around my waist. His face looked so innocent when he was asleep. His lips were slightly parted and his brown hair was covering his eyes. I gently brush the hair away from his eyes and just look at his innocent face, that's when I notice the tear tracks from last night. I slightly frown and wiped it way from his cheeks. I cup his cheek and trace random patterns softly on his cheek. After about 5 more minutes, I decide I should get up. I carefully try to get up without waking Mikey up. When I try to unwrap Mikey's arms from around me, his hold on me tightens and pulls me back down.

He groans and whispers in my ear "Please just stay here princess and keep doing what you were doing."

I shake my head in disbelief and ask "Were you awake this whole time?"

He chuckles softly, his eyes still closed, and he says "Technically, you woke me up like 3 minutes ago, but it felt nice so I just let you keep doing whatever it was you were doing to my cheek."

I chuckle and say "Come on! Get up! We're going to be late for school!"

I go to get up, but he pulls me back down and whispers in my ear "We're suspended, remember?"

I groan and say "Whatever. We still need to start the day."

He groans into his pillow and looks at me before asking me in a sweet voice "What if I don't want to start the day?"

I mock him by using the same sweet voice he did and say "What if I don't care?"

He playfully glares at me and he groans before getting up to go to his bathroom. He turns to me and says "We could always shower together? You know save water."

My jaw drops to the floor and my face probably looks like a tomato. He winks at me and walks into the bathroom.

I shake my head and start changing back into my clothes. When I was about to put my shirt on, two strong arms wrap around my waist and pull me into a wet chest. I look up and my brown eyes meet Mikey's blue green eyes. He smiles down at me and I turn around in his arms and put my hands on his chest. He smirks and says "I could get used to this."

I roll my eyes and let go of him and that's when I notice that he still only has his towel on. It's hanging low around his hips. I blush and look up when I notice that I've been staring at the towel. Mikey notices what just happened and burst into laughter.

I groan and yell "Shut up!"

I grab one of his pillows and smack the back of his head. He must have been dropped on his head as a baby because he laughs even louder and he has tears in his eyes from laughing so much.

I shake my head and say "I can't with you."

He calms down and looks at me with a genuine smile and says "You know you love me."

I froze on the spot. I tried to make it unnoticeable, but Mikey knows me too well. He raises his eyebrows and asks "Princess, you okay?"
