N I N E

Mikes POV

She is gonna drive me crazy. Her attitude is gonna drive me crazy. The way she looks so innocent when she is far from it.

When I look at her, it's only her that I want. I have some serious issues. But when I'm with her, it all goes away.

For the whole month of July, I went through some separation anxiety. I don't know why when I had only just met her. 

 I try to hide it. But it's driving me insane. I take prescribed pills to alleviate it.

But it's always still there. Me standing on the other side of the elevator across from her is already enough. I want to be under her skin.

Lailas POV

As I'm looking over at Mike, I see him look down at his shoes. I slowly walk over to him."

"Are you ok?"

"Yea," he says still looking down.

"Look at me, Michael." He still doesn't look up.

"Fine. You don't wanna talk? Be that way."

"It's not you. It's me."

"I have really bad separation anxiety and ever since  I met you, it's gotten worse." He continues.

"I'm sorry." I apologize.

"It's not your fault. It's just I'm scared that I won't ever see you again. I thought you and Frances weren't friends anymore because every time I asked her how you were, she got annoyed."

I cuff his face in my hands.

"I'm sorry I didn't contact you. I forgot to ask you for your number. And it would look suspicious if I asked Frances for your number."

"Bout that... She knows that you went into my room that one night."

My jaw drops.

"How?"

"I guess she heard you leave her room"

"Omg, I'm the worst friend ever." I facepalm.

"It's okay, she said that she doesn't mind us dating or whatever. As long as she has my blessing to date John."

"That sounds like Frances." I laughed.

The elevator opens and there's no sign of Frances or John. We go to the staircase room and see John all up on Frances.

 I clear my throat. They both jump.

"Look, taking the staircase is way harder than we thought. And it just happened okay? I'm sorry." John rambles.

"It's fine bro. I don't care." Mike reassures.

We start walking towards the room and I look back at Frances and mouth,

"You better tell me the whole story."

She giggles and gives me a thumbs-up.

dinner time

We ordered pizza. We got sausage for me and Frances. Then pepperoni for Mike and John.

We turned on the tv and Spongebob was on. It was fun vibes. Mike and John kept being silly.

Ashley and Brad had gone to another adult club.

"Guys look at what I bought."

He pulls out a bag full of weed.

"Bro, where did you even get that from?"

"I have connections... Anyways who's in?"

We all said," me". John takes the weed out of the bag and starts rolling up.

A few minutes later, it's done and he pulls a lighter out.

"Wait let's go to the balcony so it won't smell like weed in here," Frances suggests.

"Good idea." We agree.

We make it out to the balcony and there are only 2 seats.

"I think the ladies should get the seats," I say.

"Or yall can just sit on our laps," Mike states.

 I look at Frances and she shrugs and sits down on John. I look back at Mike and he pats his lap while smirking. I roll my eyes and sit on his lap anyway.
