Atlas

Everyone's got the tequila shots ready, we all clink our glasses together and chug down the shot.

"So, how many people have you guys kissed?" Axel asks us

"I've kissed 56 people." I tell him

Michaela replies and says she kissed 54.

She's close I need to focus on kissing more people and passing her in the bet. I need to win.

I go over to the bar to see if I can chat to someone and potentially get a kiss from someone.

Sauntering to the bar I gaze over, there's a brunette girl who looks pretty. I walk over and notice her features. Her tanned skin, and freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her golden brown eyes that twinkled a little whilst she looked over at me and her deep brown curly hair. We spoke and I bought her a drink. I learnt her name was Amber.

We've been talking, dancing and drinking the whole time, she's very interesting and she's been talking to my friends too.

Exiting the club, I watch over Amber chattering and giggling with my friends.

I pull out a cigarette and stick it between my lips, grabbing onto my lighter in my jean pocket and lighting it.

I feel a warm presence near me and look over to see Michaela.

She's been kissing people for the past couple of hours and drank a lot. Not as much as usual. Usually she might be a little tipsy but now she's drunk!

She pinches my cigarette and takes a drag. Suddenly, she grips onto my jaw tightly and blows the smoke into my mouth. She's super confident when she's drunk. She would never do this if she was sober.

We were so close that our lips were almost touching. I could practically taste her cherry lips.

"Michaela!" I move away from her and blow out the smoke

"Mhm!" She hums

"We're just friends... remember!" I remind her

"Just friends huh..." She repeats my words

She starts walking sensually, whilst my hearts palpitating rapidly in my chest. The sound of the club drowned out. All I could hear was my heartbeat.

I can't feel this way about her.

"I really can't!" I press

She pushes me and leaves me.

A while goes by and we all want to leave, I've been with Amber the whole night and we're going to back to the hotel.

We exit the club and wait for the uber and glance over and see Amber looks cold. I take off my signature leather jacket and glance over and see Michaela shivering. Rolling my eyes, I pull off my hoodie and hand it to her.

I grab onto Ambers wrist as the uber comes over.

I wake up to the sun beaming and I turn over and take a look at Amber. Her golden tanned skin looks perfect with the sunlight. I've spoken to her last night and told her things between us can't be anything more but I did enjoy time with her, she's friendly and fun to hang around with.

She's not Michaela though....

I need to shut these thoughts!

Today we have an early meeting for our tour, so I rushed and got ready.

My hoodie! Shit!

I go over to Michaela's room and see she's awake.

"Hey.. could I have my hoodie back." I ask

"Sure." She turns around

In one swift she takes it off and I see her body. She's only wearing a thong and bra.

Christ!

Her perfect body, her waist, her tits, her hips. I think of pulling her in, kissing her neck and her tits, down to her thighs and fucking her in her bed.

But no! I can't.

"Thanks" I murmur out and quickly leave

She knows what she's doing.

"Hey, guys" Emma waves at us

We had some small talk and then Emma said, "Your tour is going amazing, thanks to your new song Atlas. I think you need to perform it in LA, you've only performed that song once and I think it would be great to perform again as everyone's been streaming that song and we've had positive feedback."

Please don't tell me it's that song. Maybe it's another song.

"Your my favourite." She says

Not that song.

The memories of the past is reminding me that I should stay far away from her. We will do the bet and that's it. Nothing else will happen. Me and her are just friends, or enemies. I don't know anymore. 

But we can't be lovers.

"Sure," I smile

That song will bring memories that I want to bury. Everyone does love that song though. I just wish it doesn't hurt to sing it.

It's tough to turn down someone like Michaela. I don't want to be just friends or enemies with her. The truth is, I like her a lot. They've been growing day by day, but I can't act on them. I can't risk hurting my friends or betraying them. So, I'll bear the pain myself and hope that Michaela can move on. I'll try my best to forget how she makes me feel, her smile, and everything about her.
