Chapter 12

Shift was over, I locked up the shop and went to my car and to find Michael. He was smirking as per usual.

We got in and began to drive home.
"So what is this all about Lila?" He asked, looking at me.
"It's about Luke..." I replied, straight to the point.
"Oh" is all Michael said, trailing off.
"I want to know the truth Michael, because as far as I know you broke my best friends heart by being selfish and heartless." I said, not very happy.
"It's not as bad as Luke makes it out to be Lila-"
"Well then tell me Michael." I demanded. "Okay. It was summer 2013, when I was 17. Me and Luke were close, and we hung out a lot.. He had this girlfriend Zara, she had a flirty personality and I was attracted to her, but I kept my distance because Luke was my best mate. She used to touch my arm and hands when Luke looked away. She'd whisper dirty things in my ear. Well one day, when I was drunk, she took advantage and we ended up having sex. Once. I felt real bad because Luke found out, but she twisted the story and blamed it all on me, saying I got her drunk and then shagged her, when really she manipulated me and took advantage of me. I want Luke to know the truth, but he never wanted to listen to to me. I'm sorry." He said looking down at his hands.
I was speechless.

I felt bad for Michael because he never had a chance to tell Luke the truth.
"I'm sorry Michael, I didn't know."
"It's fine Lila, I mean you were just looking out for your friend right?" He smiled.
I nodded. "I want Luke to know the truth Michael. Maybe we could sort all this out, I mean, you and Luke could become friends again. That would be so great." I stated. "I'm not sure Lila, that dude hates me and I don't want to make the situation worse, we haven't spoke in 2 years."
"It will be fine Michael, I promise. Is there anything else you want to tell me? what about when you moved away with Zara?" I quizzed.
"I didn't move away with Zara? I moved to Australia to get away from her. When she knew Luke wouldn't take her back, she followed me, I wanted it all to stop but she had to keep trying. So I moved but she followed anyway. But then she met a new guy, Thomas or something? I don't know." Michael said, shame in his voice.
"I'm sorry Michael, Luke needs to know this."
"Stop apologising Lila, it's not your fault." Michael replied.
"Okay. Am I taking you to your place?" I asked.
"Yeah" is all he said as we drove in silence the rest of the way home.

I pulled up on Michaels drive way. The black car wasn't there this time. Must be his parents car or something.
"Would you like to come in?" Michael asked.
"I don't know.." I said, thinking of Luke. "Come on, Luke never needs to know." "Okay, just 5 minutes."
Michael smiled at me as he got out the car as I followed.

As he opened the door, I was greeted by a large hallway filled with a large mirror and artwork strung on the wall.

I followed Michael into the kitchen which was fairly large. "Coffee? Tea?" He asked as I sat in a stool at the island table in the centre of the large kitchen.
"Coffee please." I smiled.
"Sure thing." He said after pouring out coffee into a mug.

Michael and I sat at the table.
We were having normal conversation about work and I told him about my dreams of Sydney. He said Sydney is one of the greatest places in the world and that he is going to take me sometime. He joked saying he was going to move to Sydney with me. I was having a great time, laughing and joking with him.

"I like you Lila, I really do." Michael said suddenly, not making eye contact with me. "W-what?" I said, confused.
"I like you, and I know we've only had a full conversation twice and only met several times I feel very attracted to you. I haven't felt this way in a long time." He said, looking down at his large hands.
"I like you too." I said before stopping myself.
He placed his fairly large hands on my thigh and squeezed. He looked at me, his green eyes meeting mine making my insides melt.

He smiled at me before looking at he large clock on the wall.
"Shit, you best be getting off Lila, it's 7:43pm, my parents will be home soon." Jeez, I've been here almost 2 hours. "Thanks for the coffee Michael, we must do this again." I said, smiling widely.

Michael walked me to the door and we said our goodbyes.
I was walking along the path to my car before a hand pulled me back. It was Michael and he looked at me for a few seconds before smashing his pink, plump lips against mine.
