Chapter Thirteen

will 

The weekend comes around once again it's March, the weather is warmer and days seem  to drag on forever.

taking my coffee from the lady behind the counter, I pay and choose to sit down near the bus stop.

sitting outside underneath the bus stop (I really need to get a car) I stand by the sign waiting for the bus as A black car rolled up next to me rolling down its window.

My body relaxes when I see it's Mike who's sitting in the driver seat...He's wearing sunglasses that make him even more attractive than he already is.

Leaning against the window, Mike takes his sunglasses off putting them on top of his head.

"Hey baby" he says with a smile as I give him a nonchalant look as the sun has been burning my back, He scans my face noticing my expression.

"You...okay?" Mike asked.

"yeah?....just where have you been?" That's when he smirks.

"Why don't you get in the car and I'll show you?" He says leaning over towards the door opening it as I stand back.

Slipping into the seats of his car and closing it Mike puts his sunglasses back on and drives.

We drive for what almost felt like an hour I turn to Him, "you better not have surprised me with another hike...swimming thing" I joked making him chuckle.

"Nah...it's even better than that" he says getting out of the car and walking over to my side letting me get out of the car.

"But...since it's a surprise" he grabs my shoulders Turning me around as he stands behind me letting my back meet his chest.

"You'll have to cover your eyes" Mike says placing his hand against my eyes shielding them.

Mike
Placing my hand over his eyes I can feel him smiling as he giggled as I start walking us forward.

"Come on Will one foot in front of the other!" I laughed making him laugh.

"I-I'm trying!?" Will giggled as he leans back against my chest as we reach the door.

Reaching into my pocket taking out a set of keys, "keep your eyes shut until I tell you to open them" I tell Will as I turn the key into the keyhole.

"Ok! Jeez" He says putting his hands over his eyes.

Grabbing him once more I walk us into the apartment "may I open now?" Will asked softly.

"Yes...you may" I say standing behind him placing my arms around his waist as he drops his hands, I hear a small gasp escape from his mouth.

Will
Standing in the middle of a living room...I looked at everything taking it all in as I felt mikes hands snake tightly around my waist.

"Well?...what do you think?"

"I-it's...whose place is this?" Is all I mange to say, Mike lets out a sigh.

"It's an apartment my parents bought and just abandoned it...so I was here all day fixing it up" he says I turn around.

"Well then...I'm going to go look around!" I say cheerfully.

"Go for it" Mike says letting me go as I'm quick to run around the whole living room.

Running my fingers against the couch, as I walk into the kitchen and it's breathtaking, the floors is a marble color in the middle sits an island.

"Wow" I mutter underneath my breath this is a little too nicely done...to be an apartment...almost like a pent house.

Walking down the hallway I opened up a couple of doors seeing a large bathroom bigger than the one at home and at the dorms.

Walking down more I make it to the end of the hallway...placing my hand against the doorknob of the plain painted white door.

I hear mikes footsteps approaching behind me, "we'll go on?...open it" he says letting his hand rub against my shoulder.

Twisting the doorknob slowly my mouth nearly drops to the floor, seeing a double bed two nightstands as the room is painted a nice white color with brown flooring.

Walking up to the bed brushing my fingertips against the covers all the way up to the pillows, Mike stands behind me getting closer letting his head rest against my shoulder.

"I-I am lost for words.... I-don't know what to say..." I said to him.

"Well...for starters how about...thank you?" I turn facing him with a smile "thank you Mike...I love it" I smiled bigger than before.

"You're welcome darling" Mike says making me blush at all the pet names he's been using for me.

Letting my hands go to the collar of his shirt I pulled him closer letting our lips connect.

Mike pulls away with a smirk hugging me by the waist, "you like it this much? He asked.

"More...than just like...I just haven't found the words yet?" I say walking over to him pushing him down onto the bed straddling his lap.

"Could you imagine this place being ours though?" Mike asked As his hands rest on my hips.

"Ours?...you mean like moving in together?" I asked while looking around the room, making him look up at me with a nod.

"Yeah?...we can stay here the rest of the year...it will just be me and you" Mike said as he sits up on his elbows.

"I can't believe you've fixed up an entire apartment just for...Us" I smile as I wiggle on his lap making myself more comfortable.

"Well...mostly for you...Think of it as an...early birthday gift" he says playing with the sides of my shirt.

I shake my head as I lean forward placing a kiss upon his lips, which turned into a small make out session.

Mikes arms tightened around me as he moved his head in the corner of my neck.

That's when I feel his fingers brush against my sides tickling them.

I break into a laugh collapsing into him as we fall onto the bed, I crawl off of him laying down beside him.

Living alone off campus isn't as bad as I thought it would be, me and Mike spend our days and nights watching movies cuddling, pillow fights and even trying to cook for each other some nights. 

Laying on the couch with my legs across Mikes lap I read a few pages from the book I bought from that book store not too long ago, when I see Mike is thinking about something.

Closing my book and sitting it down on the couch I looked at him, "what's the matter?" I asked as he looks at me.

"Huh?" He says, "I was asking you what the matter is?"

"Nothing...just family stuff...don't worry about it"

"L-Like what?" I asked softly I know Mike doesn't want me knowing about his family...I mean he barely says anything about them, he lets out a long sigh.

"I-it's just my dad...trying to bring his "perfect" family together for his rich ass ceremony" he says adding air quotes around perfect.

"Oh?...why don't you go?" I asked as I moved closer to him.

"Because you don't know him like I do" he said as I felt his body tensing up.

"Well...I think you should go it could be fun" I say as He looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Fun...what's so fun about watching thirsty people come around our backyard and drool over my dad's money while mom is doing god knows what" He sucks his teeth.

"Well...you know some people change?...and I'll even be there as your guide...and if things go wrong we can just leave" I suggest as Mike sighs thinking for a moment.

"I can't believe I'm actually letting you talk me into this...but fine we'll go" Mike says leaning back against the couch as I smile.

"See...what could go wrong" I say laying back down putting my legs back across his and opening my book again.
