Day Ten (Part 2)

Michael woke up with his head on someone's shoulder and his arms wrapped around someone. Comfortable. He thought.

How did he get outside the room? And ended up in a sofa with someone? He moved his head a bit trying to look at who's he sleeping with. Because he literally had no idea.

And then there she was. Joy. Laying with Michael's arms around her. He didn't do anything but stare. He didn't remember sleeping there with Joy and that's why he was a bit shocked when he saw Joy. She's still sleeping and Michael didn't even think of waking her up. He just put his head on the hand of the couch and stared at her. He rubbed her tummy with his thumb gently.

He smiled looking at how peaceful her face was when she's sleeping. He bit his lower lip and without even thinking, he leaned in and placed a quite long kiss on her cheek. He put his nose on her shoulder after that, didn't know if he should regret that or glad that he finally kissed her.

Half of him hoped she didn't realize that he just kissed her but another half of him didn't want her to wake up knowing he just kissed her because that would be embarrassing.

He had been crushing on her for quite a long time but never had the courage to say anything about it to her. He just loved to show how much he cared about her and hoping that's enough. He's afraid she didn't feel the same way so he just kept his feeling to himself even though it's so obvious that he liked her from the way he acted around her.

"If only you knew," he mumbled to himself. He lifted his head and saw something on the table. The polaroid and a picture under it.

He reached for it slowly trying not to wake Joy up. He took the picture and saw his picture sleeping with Joy. He chuckled looking at it.

"How cute," he blurted too loud that he woke Joy up. He immediately put the picture on the table again and looked at her, trying to find something to say.

"G-good morning," he said. Joy looked at him and smiled. Michael's heart was racing suddenly and he hoped she won't hear it or feel it.

Joy sat up and rubbed her eyes. Michael put his hand on her back and rubbed it softly making her turned her head to him.

"How did we end up sleeping on this couch?" he asked and Joy just laughed at him.

"You didn't remember?" she asked back. Michael raised an eyebrow at her.

"I was just laying here and then you came. You were so sleepy you didn't talk properly so I told you to go back to sleep but you chose to sleep here and told me to sleep with you so...we slept," she explained. Michael lifted his chin up then put one of his hand behind his head.

"I..asked you to sleep with me?" Michael repeated because he didn't believe that part. His face turned red after Joy nodded her head.

"W-well, clearly this couch is more comfortable with you on it too," Michael confessed. Joy stared at him and silence happened between them.

"Uh, ignore that. Gosh, I'm so lame," Michael covered his face with his free hand.

"No, that's...that's cute actually," Joy said. Slowly Michael removed his hand from his face.

Joy then laid down beside him again and without any hesitation she put her head on Michael's chest. He knew she could hear his heart beating fast and it's so damn hard to stop his heart from beating like that. Michael put his hand on her back and he actually could feel her heart too. They chose to ignore it because they knew they had the same problem. Both of them couldn't control how their hearts beating.

"Aw, I love where this is heading," they heard a voice said and they turned their heads to where they heard the voice.

Jack, Luke, and Ashton suddenly appeared from behind the couch. Michael and Joy widened their eyes. How can they be there? They didn't hear any footsteps or any sounds from those three guys.
