Chapter fourteen

"Cannot believe I let you talk me into this" Mike sighed as we walked up to the porch.

"It's your Mom's ceremony...not a jail sentence" I say as Mike snarks, "I wish it was a jail sentence" he says as we walked underneath the lighted living room.

"Well isn't it a surprise to see you here" a nicely dressed woman says approaching us, making Mike and Me stiffen.

"And I see you brought a friend...you must be..?" I looked over at Mike whose head is down.

"I-I'm Will" I said softly shaking her hand, "I see well it's a pleasure to meet you" she said with a stirring expression as me and Mike stood behind the counter as we held hands.

"So I'm guessing you two met while at college...what's your major Will?...if you don't mind me asking" she says softly.

"Art and graphic designing" I smile brightly as she congratulates Me.

"Well thank you for coming, you two have fun okay!" She says as she wonders off, I turned towards Mike who stayed looking at the floor.

"W-Well she seemed nice" I say briefly while looking down at Him as he looks back up.

"Yeah...don't let her kindness fool you" he says shaking his head, "w-wait you know her?" I asked as Mike nodded his head slowly.

"Yeah...you just met my mother" he said softly, I followed the direction she walked in seeing her talking and laughing with younger individuals.

She seems way different than what Mike described her to be..."well c-can we still have fun?" I asked intertwining our hands as Mike looked down at me.

"I don't know if I can" he says, I frown at him to which he tilts my chin up slightly so I'm looking at him.

"I can't have fun...because you told me to behave myself...remember?" He says smiling softly, as I smile back, "yeah I do remember that" I say as Mike takes my hand and leads us towards the backyard.

My face instantly brightens up with a smile, as the backyard is decorated so beautiful, fairy lights hanging off of every corner.

Me and Mike found a table to sit at as we sat and listened to his mother give her speech, I looked over at Mike who's sitting with his jaw tensed each time his mother said something.

Reaching my hand underneath the table into his had I rubbed at his knuckles, "Just relax" I whispered to him.

"I can't" Mike responded, "watching her put on the act of a perfect wife...when I know deep down she's not perfect" Mike said softly as he looked at her, I looked at him and then the woman on the stage what could she possibly have done.

Mike
After listening to my mom's boring voice drag on way longer than it should've, I stand up taking Will by his hand and dragging him In the middle of the floor.

Putting my hand on his waist and the other in his hand dancing to the music, spinning him around Will lets out a laugh placing his head against my shoulder as we continued to dance.

I felt eyes on us of course but when have I ever gave a shit on what people think, "thanks for talking me into this..." I said softly making him look up at me as we swayed back in forth.

"Oh?...Finally having fun Michael?" Will says as I bring him closer to me,"as of matter of fact...yes, yes I am, and it's probably only because you're here" I said while spinning him around once more he giggled looking up into my eyes as those hazel eyes mixed with greens dance underneath the lights.

I looked deeply at him he really does bring the best out of me, with just the slightest touch and things he does.

Hugging him by the waist, I tilt his face towards me and kiss his lips, I couldn't care less that my mom's friends saw.

I've never felt this way for anyone before...Will nuzzle's his head into the side of my neck, as I feel a wave of warmth wash over me.

And I think for the first time...in a long time I finally understand what love feels like, I whispered downward into Will's ear.

"Wanna get out of this place now?" I asked as he blushes softly and nods his head, taking his hand tighter.

We practically run to the car hand and hand with each other, only letting go for when I need to drive of course.

Will

We parked outside of our apartment building looking at each other's lips, I climbed over the armrest of the car climbing into his lap as our lips moved in sync.

As I Never wanted this Night to end.
