Drunken DMs

Chapter 2

Leah

Michael: but I like the Pokemon marathon idea, that'd be pretty cute 😝

Cute? I exclaimed internally, Michael fucking Clifford called something I said cute, when I was drunk no less!
I wasn't sure what to reply, I knew I wasted to though. I didn't want to have that typical fan girl response. I knew he'd most likely be sick of getting that from replying to DMs.

So I sat there staring at my phone, not knowing what to reply. I decided to message Ambur on Kik, hoping she'd still be awake, it was just after five here, meaning it'd be ten pm in California, where she lived

Me: MICHAEL REPLIED WHAT IS LIFE? WHAT DO I SAY? DO I REPLY HALP ME

She responded a minute later

Ambur: girl what? Omg your so in screenshot me now!

So I did, I screenshot the message he sent and sent it to her

Ambur: dude! He said it was cute you have to reply!

Me: but what do I say?

Ambur: just be like, I'm serious we should do that, with this emoji 😜

Ambur: and if everything goes to plan and you end up with that fucking sex god you have to hook me up with Luke 😂😂

Me: nothing will ever come of this Ambur and you know that! I'm just Leah, a weird girl from Melbourne who wears way too much eyeliner

Ambur: girl! You doubt yourself way too much! Stop letting what Georgia says get you down! She's just a stupid bitch who doesn't know the value of friendship!

Me: alright I'll reply! But I doubt he'll respond

I exited out of Kik, and re opened Twitter, replying to Michael

To Michael Clifford:

Me: you know, I'm not kidding. We should totally do that 😜

Twenty minutes later I had to go back to work, there was no reply from Michael; but to be honest I wasn't surprised. I decided I wasn't going to tell anyone about this. I didn't want to jinx it. Ambur was going to be the only one who'd know. Shoving my phone back in my pocket, I headed back on the shop floor, standing behind the entertainment desk; to finish the last hour and a bit of my shift.

There was half an hour of my shift left to go, when I felt my phone go off again. The desk wasn't busy, so I walked away and looked at the notification. It would definitely be an understatement to say I was shocked when I saw Michael had replied again.

To Michael Clifford:

Michael: never said you were cutie 😏

Michael: must say I'm shocked at your response though, was expecting a lot of screaming and cursing 😂

Me: I'm far from cute Michael

I didn't have time to exit out of the app before he replied again

To Michael Clifford:

Michael: you're Instagram says different babe 😝

The extremely quick reply, meant he had his phone open on my DMs
