i love to hate you | m.c.

A few days had passed and the two of them had been texting ever since they had exchanged phone numbers. Whenever Alexa's phone buzzed the biggest grin appeared on her face. Mostly because she just knew it was Michael texting her.

Her mother often asked why she's smiling at her phone, and Alexa never had a proper answer but the blush on her cheeks would be answer enough for her mother.

Michael's friends would always complain about how he was on the phone all the time. How he would never concentrate when they were gaming. When they once snatched his phone from him, he got really angry, because by no means ever would he want them to see all the stupid messages he had been sending. They would just confirm that he's in way too deep.

One night Alexa was laying in her bed awake in the middle of the night. She couldn't sleep no matter how hard she tried. She decided to text Michael, maybe he was awake as well.

 Alexa: [3:13] Hey

She was quite positive he would not respond, so she was rather surprised when she heard her phone vibrate.

Michael: [3:14] What's up?

Alexa: [3:14] I can't sleep, tell me sth

Michael: [3:15] like what do you want me to tell you?

Alexa: [3:16] something nice, so I will fall asleep
idk I just cant fall asleep
why are you awake anyways?

Michael: [3:18] Couldn't sleep either
There's something else I could do to make you fall asleep you know

Alexa: [3:19] and what is that
should I be even asking

Michael: [3:20] where did your mind go ms devito?
I am appaled

Alexa: [3:20] you're an idiot
are you gonna tell me what you actually meant

Michael: [3:21] I could come over and cuddle you
I bet you'd fall asleep in no time

Alexa: [3:23] are you serious?

Michael: [3:23] Yeah??!?

Thinking about it, Alexa liked the idea of having somebody next to her, whilst she falls asleep. She had this really weird dream before that she just couldn't shake off. Whenever she tried going back to sleep the images would return and she would freak out just again. But she also knew that she was by no means allowed to have a boy sleep in her bed.

Alexa: [3:24] my parents are gonna kill me if they find out

Michael: [3:25] well then they won't find out
;)
omw

Alexa: [3:26] besides it's raining
just fyi

Michael: [3:27] idc

Michael: [3:31] you can either very silently come downstairs and open the backdoor equally silently or i'll knock

;)

Alexa: [3:32] I hate you

Michael: [3:33] that's no news

As Alexa walked downstairs, she couldn't help but smile. He was actually coming to her house in the middle of the night, he was such an idiot. When she opened the backdoor as silently as possible, she was met a pair of green eyes, glistening in the minimal light.

"hi" he whispered, looking directly into Alexa's eyes. They were really beautiful, he thought.

Alexa didn't say anything she just pulled him in a hug. She missed this so badly. She nuzzled her head into his chest, taking in his scent. Never did she want to let go of him. Michael was quite surprised by her sudden action, but he did like it to, a lot.

"I missed this" she announced so silently, it was almost not to be heard, but Michael heard it. In response he pulled her a slight bit closer.

"we should probably close the door" Michael whispered against her neck, after a while, making the hairs on her neck stand up.

"yeah we probably should" she mumbled against his chest, not wanting to let go just yet. Michael let go of her and turned around to close the door. The both of them walked upstairs in silence, being very careful to not make a sound. They wouldn't have wanted to wake up Alexa's parents.

Once in her room Alexa proceeded closing the door carefully, as her door always creaked. And this night was no exception. Michael jumped slightly behind Alexa and she couldn't help but giggle. With no warning she took his hand and tugged him over to the bed. The both of them layed down on the bed, quite far apart from each other. Somehow there was this awkward air again.

"that's not how you cuddle" Michael pouted, taking her hand into his. Alexa scooted a bit closer to him, still leaving some space between them. The butterflies in her stomach were going mad, but somehow she was scared.

"alright, turn around" he whispered. Alexa turned away from him, letting go of his hand. He pulled her closer, so that now their bodies were touching. They were spooning and Alexa was the little one. The way his hand was draped over her side was making her feel really save and protected. She liked that a lot.

"okay one second" he announced silently. He sat up, pulling the cover over the both of them. Then he went back to his previous position, pressed up against Alexa. His fingers trailed along Alexa's sides under the cover, very carefully as if he was going to break her. Alexa couldn't help but shiver at his touch. Somehow this was so intimate, yet not sexual in any way.

"do you want to tell me why you were still awake?" he whispered. His face was so close to Alexa's neck, she could feel his breath on her skin. To say it was driving her mad would be an understatement. She felt this tingling sensation and somehow she couldn't speak. Swallowing hard, she tried to regain composure to at least say something.

"I had a nightmare" she managed to get out. Michaels hand moved to her stomach, gripping her tightly. He wanted to make her feel as save as possible. Alexa scooted a slight bit closer, if that was even possible. "I didn't want to sleep anymore" she whispered.

"everything's fine, I got you" he said ever so silently. Alexa's hands searched for Michael's and when they met there was this spark. This spark, that went through their bodies reaching every nerv ending. This spark that brought the butterflies in their stomachs back to live. Alexa took his hand into hers and traced her thumb along the palm of his hand.

No matter how many times Alexa said that boys are stupid and that they only are drama. No matter how many times she said that she would never want to be with somebody, how being single was so much nicer. She would always dream of this in the back of her mind. Deep deep down she was the most hopeless romantic, she was just too proud to admit it.

Legs and hands intertwined, bodies pressed up against each other is how they fell asleep. The both of them had never fallen asleep easier and had never slept better, than cuddled up against each other.
