HIS FAVOURITE

chapter sixty

Atlas

I was so close to telling her those special words yesterday.

Today, we're heading back to Canada and currently boarding the flight. However, Michaela and I are a bit behind schedule. We haven't been together at all; in fact, I haven't seen her since the karaoke night. After my friends wanted to enjoy themselves singing in the bar, I left much earlier than them.

They didn't see Michaela and me either, but that's because they were quite drunk when they arrived at the bar. Fortunately, Cara was sober, so she managed to take Michaela away from me before anyone realized.

As Michaela steps onto the plane, I trail after her, and she realizes that no one reserved a seat for her next to them, which meant we would be seated close by.

"You lot are annoying!" She moans at them, while they laugh.

She heads towards vacant seats on the plane, and I take a seat opposite her.

She's not mentioning anything about how close I was to blurting out those words.

Thank god!

I'd be at a loss for words if she questions me about whether I was really going to say it.

As the plane is about to take off, I hold onto the armrest tightly.

Fuck!

Michaela notices my tight grip on the armrest, observing my white knuckles.

"Are you okay?" she asks quietly.

"Mhm!" I reply.

"Should I come sit beside you?" she inquires.

"What about them?" I ask.

She glances at our friends and says, "They're all asleep. 

They returned to the hotel room early this morning. Cara explained how much they partied on the last night of the tour in America."

"Alright, I guess!" I agree.

She swiftly unbuckles her seatbelt and moves next to me, fastening her seatbelt.

Then, she clasps my hand and plants gentle kisses on it.

"I've got my tiger, if you want it?" she offers.

"I've got mine right here!" I gaze into her eyes.

She blushes intensely and rests her head on my shoulder.

I'm in love with her.

I thought things between us was just a fuck buddy situation. No strings attached. I thought all we were doing is hooking up. I never thought I'd actually end up loving her. It's not a bad thing. It's just more like I shouldn't be loving her, catching feelings or dating her.

I always liked her. From the moment I first met her and even when I "hated" her. I never truly hated her though, it was more so her hating me. Now this situation is going it's getting complicated I don't know if I can carry on with this.

I remember the first time I met her...

FLASHBACK

"Guys, I've got someone for you to meet. My cousin. Michaela Reid."

"Hi!" She smiles

Her raven black hair, perfectly toned legs, and curvy waist, along with her soft lips and golden brown eyes...I just can't take my eyes off of her.

She's beautiful.

Is this love at first sight?

"Michaela! Let me take you to your first class." Maddy says to her

They leave us and Levi turns over to us.

"She's off limits by the way! I don't want any of you guys especially to date her." Levi says and walks away

Off limits?

Come on!

I do understand though. None of us have actually been in a serious relationship. I've dated a couple of people but it never really lasted.

She's nothing like the people I've hooked up with though. I think. I haven't exactly spoken to her.

I go over to Axel's place and we practice a while for a open mic that's coming in the next up coming week.

"Guys, we've been trying hard to think of a name for our band. How about Ecstasy?"

"Ecstasy? That's actually a nice name. Did you think of it?"

"No actually Michaela did! Isn't that a great name?"

"Michaela? You and her have been close. Is anything going on?" Axel says

"We're just friends? That's it!" I affirmed

"Really?" Noah replies

"Yes!" I roll my eyes

~

Months pass and Michaela and I have become friends. Good friends. Close friends. I've never been able to get close with anyone like I have with her. Normally I don't really trust anyone but I'm slowly opening up to her day by day.

She's very interesting too. I don't think that her and I would just sleep around. I actually would want to have a relationship with her. I'd actually want to call her my girlfriend.

It wasn't just her appearance that got me hooked. She's nice, kind, interesting and funny. I like every part of her and it makes me want to be with her. I don't even know how to approach this. how am I meant to ask her out.

ASK HER! DUH!

I just think it's hard. Like I've never done it. I have sang to a girl though. That's what I should do. Sing to her! Tell her how much I like her.
