"... this time, maybe this time."

"Merry Christmas!", the person I guessed was Michael's mom hugged me tightly.
"It's not Christmas yet, mum", Michael's annoyed voice said as he walked up to his mother.

They looked nothing a like, yet I noticed some similarities.

We were standing on the porch to Michael's house in Sydney, Australia and even though it was in the end of December it was vERy hot here (not that I expected any different since I'd been spending 16 of my 18 winters in Florida but still).

"Oh I know that, stupid! But almost", she hugged Kylie and then Lia.

We had two bags each plus a backpack, yet it looked like we were gonna be gone for a week, when we were gonna be in Aus for more than three.

"Karen, are you gonna let them in?", someone from inside asked and the next second someone who must've been Michael's dad appeared next to his son and wife.

"Hi, girls! I'm Michael's dad, Daryl, and please don't call me Mr. Clifford that will just be weird for all of us", he told us with a huge smile, and then shook our hands.

"Nice to meet you both", I said, as Michael hugged Kylie.

Michael's mom, took our bags with a little help from Daryl and then suddenly our bags were gone from the little porch we were standing on.

Michael hugged Lia and then me.

"Hi gorgeous", he said and hugged me extra long.

"Hi Mike", I said as I breathed in his amazing smell.

Michael's red hair were almost gone, just as with my blonde/silvery hair which was more brown now than blonde, and his blonde/brownish hair looked through the few highlights of red.

We hugged for a while and as we let go of each other I saw that Kylie and Lia had stepped inside.

"How was your flight?", Michael asked as he took my hand. Oh...?

The flight had been pretty amazing to be a twenty hour long flight. We'd had a lot of good food, watched a whole bunch of amazing movies, listened to music and slept.

But all I could think about on our way to Aus was what I was gonna say to Michael, and what he was gonna say to me.

Was his breakup with Marcia really what he wanted to discuss with me? Why did he break up with her in the first place? Why now? What changed?

So many questions and I had no good answers to them.

Neither did Lia, Mackenzie, Phoebe, Kylie or Dylan. I did ask Will, Sam and Nate as well but only got a few; "Boys are boys, Alex, they're confusing", as answer.

Didn't really help me much did it? Nah.

The 1D boys had no answers either, not that I brought it up with them because I didn't think they're very interested in my and Michael's relation.

But as we'd all dropped by at Liam's house before Niall left for Ireland and me, Kylie and Lia left for Aus, Niall asked a whole bunch of questions.

So I kinda did ask them, I just didn't bring it up. Niall did. That's different.

I got all the boys basically the same things, but something extra special for Louis since it was his birthday as well.

Or well me, Lia and Kylie bought him a whole lot clothes (with a lot of advices from the rest of the 1D boys) and I hoped he'd love them.
