Dear Michael // Michael Clifford

Ch 27 : Four Months

Liz's pov

I noticed Ashton wasn't here this morning, I knew he was up to something. So, I pretended I was asleep.

He came in and tried to be as quiet as possible, but ended up bumping into Calum causing him to groan. I burst out laughing.

"You're awake?" Ashton's eyes widened.

"Ever since three in the morning. Been watching Bob's Burgers and Pokemon all night." I smirked crossing my arms as I sat up.

"Come here, sit next to your cousin." I patted the spot next to me and he sat down.

"Cousin?" He questioned.

"Yeah. Calum's my brother. Michael's my husband. Luke is that awkward friend and you're my cousin. Calum and I sorted it out last night." I shrugged. "So, where did my cousin go this morning? Sneaking off to go see a movie with someone?"

His smile faded and he became nervous. He looked down at his hands and just examined them. He had a concentrating look on his face, which means, he's actually thinking.

I paid close attention to his actions. He's definitely hiding something, something big. Then again so am I, so I shouldn't push him on it. I need to know though.

"What do you say we go for a walk and talk about this?" I suggested.

He nodded and stood up heading over to the door.

"Slow your roll, I'm still not ready." I said. He smiled and sat back down.

I grabbed a grey pair of joggers, my converse, and my black hoodie. I don't want to look nice, I just want to be comfortable. I quickly put my hair up and rushed out of the bathroom.

"Lets go cupcake." I grabbed Ashton's arm and pulled him outside.

"Cupcake? Why do you keep calling me these names?" He asked.

"You obviously don't know me. I call my closest friends cupcake or love, even guys. It's weird, but true." I sighed.

"You're weird."

"No dur. Tell me something I don't know." I rolled my eyes.

"So, I need to tell you something. I need to tell you and the guys." He breathed out as we stopped at the crosswalk.

"Okay, shoot homie." I called him another name, seems he hates that so why not call him names? I'm mean.

"I have a girlfriend." He sighed.
