Drunken DMs

Chapter 24

Leah

I didn't think that anything would make this day any better; but after reading the text from Michael's mum, I had an instant smile on my face. I had her approval and that made me insanely happy.

While Michael had a shower, I sent a message to Ambur

To Ambur: dude! I have Karen's fucking approval!

From Ambur: and you also have the approval from the fam! There were photos of you and Mikey inside the club uploaded to Twitter! Some of the comments were like who the fuck is this chick, but then the rest were like he looks so happy! Are you two together yet? Bc hurry the fuck up and claim him bc I need Lucas in my life. And wait how do you know Karen approves?

To Ambur: not yet. But he's taking me on a date! I'm going on a date with Michael Clifford wtf is life?
Oh she messaged him saying she hasn't seen him that happy in a while and the girl he was with aka me, seems good for him :)

From Ambur: OMF dudeeeee! You are legit the luckiest fan on the fucking planet! So whens the date?

To Ambur: idk. Obviously before he goes home. And you were right, btw

From Ambur: when am I not? Lol.

I continued to message her for a few more minutes before Michael came out of the bathroom, "what ya doing?" He asked
"Just messaged Ambur," I told him, "thanks for earlier,"
"No need to thank me babe, you needed me," he said with a smile
"Yeah," I nodded, "and I'm sorry about my parents,"
"I can see why you don't like your step mum," he said, "I found it funny that they didn't recognise me though,"
"That's them for you, they've been so oblivious to everything about me since I moved out," I admitted, "I don't think they even know the real reason Brandon and I broke up,"
"And judging by your step mum's attitude, she'd probably say it was your fault he cheated,"
"Yeah she would actually," I laughed slightly
"So enough of this sad talk," he said, "I'm taking you out tonight,"
"Oh really?" I asked
"Yeah, I just don't know where to take you,"
"If you take me to a fancy restaurant, I will kill you," I told him, trying to hold in my laughter. I hated dates at fancy places. I never got the point. There was never enough food on the plates, and the prices were too high. I'd been to most of them in Melbourne anyway. Kaye had a lot of money, and used that as a way to try and buy mine and my younger brother's love and affection. It worked on him, but I always saw through it
"Alright, so Nobu's out of the question then?"
"It most certainly is," I laughed
"Well I don't know Melbourne too well, so what's good?"
"There's a few nice places on Bay Street," I told him, "we can just walk down and decide,"
"I have an idea," he said, a sly smile forming on his face
"What's that?" I asked
"How does fish and chips on the beach sound? You're near the beach right?"
"It's a two minute walk from here,"
"Good, then it's sorted," he said, "we'll grab some beers and then sit on the beach,"
"That actually sounds perfect," I agreed, "I haven't done that in ages,"
"Good,"

I decided soon after we'd confirmed what we'd be doing tonight that I'd have a bubble bath. I really needed to relax, and that seemed the perfect way to do it.
I showed Michael my DVD collection so he could watch something while I was in the bath. I took my laptop in to the bathroom along with a chair and decided to watch The OC, something that I hadn't watched in a while.
I got through about two episodes when I decided it was time to get out. The bubbles had disappeared and the water was getting cold. I wrapped a towel around me, and went to my room to get changed. Not caring that Michael was just in the living room. He'd basically seen me naked last night; and again this morning when I got dressed in front of him.

I exited my room, hearing my phone go off from the lounge room where I'd left it, "whose calling?" I called out to Michael
"Someone called Brandon," he said, "he's called a few times,"
"Answer it and tell him to fuck off,"
"Hello?" He answered, "she doesn't want to talk to you," he said, "I don't see why who I am matters,"
"What the fuck?" I asked Michael
"No I'm not going to hand her the phone, fuck off, and don't call her again," and then he hung up
"What did he want?" I asked
"No idea," he shrugged, "he just said it was important,"
"So what time are we leaving?" I asked
"Whenever, it's only like two now," he said looking at the time on my phone
"What do you wanna do then?" I asked him
"This," he smiled, and kissed me
