Drunken DMs

Chapter 7

Michael

"Dude, can you get off your phone for one second?" Luke yelled to me, "you've been starring at your screen for like the last half an hour!"
"So?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders
"Who are you texting anyways?" Calum asked
"No one," I lied, I didn't want to tell them I was talking to a fan, that I'd actually willingly asked if it was okay for us to text.

I went on Twitter briefly to see what was going on, when I came across a tweet from Leah. Fuck she was gorgeous, and really funny, and cute and she likes Pokemon and wants to have a marathon with me! What am I saying? I can't like her, I've never even fucking met her! But she's so strong and she confides in me, and she makes me feel special. I read the tweet and laughed out loud.

@mikeysgalaxy: when your stepmum says you'll never get a bf if I keep living in a fantasy land where I think I have a chance with Mikey 😂😂 like fuck off bitch!

I retweeted and favourited because I thought it was fucking hilarious. Clearly she hasn't told her step mum about us talking. And then I decided to reply, but it had to be cryptic because I didn't want anyone finding out about this, not yet at least.

@Michael5SOS: @mikeysgalaxy your stepmum doesn't sound like a nice person 😂

She was still online and replied instantly. Her reply made me laugh, and caused my two band mates sitting at the bar with me turn and give me strange looks

@mikeysgalaxy: @Michael5SOS she's not but she's probably right. :/

I laughed at her reply again. She was so far from right with not standing a chance. I was enamoured by her. She was everything I wanted in a girl. I knew she was older than me, but I didn't care. It was only by a few years. She was twenty three and I was nineteen, but I'd be twenty soon. So age really doesn't matter to me, not in the slightest. I exited Twitter and decided to message her instead of replying to her tweet.

From Michael: lol at your step mum😂😂 she sounds like a bitch tbh. And in reply to your last statement, how do you know she's right? Haha. I'm off to bed, I'll text ya tomorrow or some shit night xxx

I wasn't really off to bed, yeah it was after two am here in LA; but the boys and I never went to bed early. We just slept through the day. I would never normally be this bold and forward in real life. But I'd been drinking, I was drinking when I was on the phone to her a couple of hours earlier. I knew it was the alcohol that made me say those things to her earlier. It was the truth though, I didn't mind an older woman. Especially one as hot as her. Fuck, the things she does to me. She replied soon after

From Leah: what the fuck is that supposed to mean Clifford? Don't leave me hanging!

I wasn't going to reply. Not now; I knew this would get way out of hand if I did. And I wasn't going to let it, not yet. I put my phone back in my pocket, and took a sip of the beer in front of me, "finally off your phone?" Luke asked
"Yeah, drinking and texting is never a good idea,"
"That's never stopped you before," he said
"This girls different," I told him, immediately regretting my words
"Different? And a girl? No wonder you haven't been doing the usual lately," Calum laughed
"If Ash heard this he'd have a field day!" Luke laughed
"What's that supposed to mean? I'm not the fuckboy here!" I laughed along with the two younger boys. As usual Ashton, wasn't joining us. He was out with Bryana
"Never said you were!" Luke defended himself.

About fifteen minutes later, my phone vibrated again. I grabbed it out of my pocket and looked at the message. It was from Leah again.

To Leah: of course you leave me hanging like that you little shit! Fuck you! Stop playing with my feels, I am a fan you know! Ugh, anyways you're probably asleep. Night dick head xxx

That's one thing I had to keep in mind. She is a fan. She's different to some of the others, but she's still a fan. She acted completely different to what I expected when i replied to her the first time, but that doesn't change what she is. But I didn't care. I could honestly see my self falling for this girl, "so whose the girl Mikey?" Luke asked, dragging me out of my thoughts
"Just a girl," I lied, I didn't really know what to say to them. I'd tell them eventually, but for now? This would be our little secret.
