"Is everything alright?" I asked as Mike walked back inside. "Yeah" he gave a small smile. Vincent came back inside and sat back down beside me. "It's 5:47AM" he said. "What time do we have to be in again?" I asked. "You should be there anywhere from 5:30 to at least 10 minutes til 6" Mike replied. "Alright" I said while yawning. I felt my eyelids getting heavy... I'm so tired. I hope I'm not hungover tomorrow. I felt my head bobbing as I kept falling asleep. I leaned back on the couch and closed my eyes. "I had a lot of fun tonight" I smiled as I fell asleep. I could feel myself leaning to the side but I couldn't stop it. I must be leaning on Vincent's arm.
Vincent's POV
I looked over as I felt her rest her head against my arm. I slowly adjusted myself, pulling my arm out of the way so that she was rested against the side of my chest. "Well..." I said glancing down at _______ asleep on me "We still need to stay awake for a couple of hours. Wanna put on some music?". "But, it might wake her up" Mike furrowed his brows. "Not trying to sound insensitive but she's going to have to get use to staying awake". "Fine... What do you want to listen to?" Mike asked, standing up and walking over to his stereo. "My playlist or yours.. doesn't matter" I said. "Yeah, we have similar taste, I forgot" he said. "Well, I mean yours is a bit more salty than mine" I grinned. Mike turned to shoot me a look that said 'Get fucked'. "Let's start with this song" Mike said as he adjusted the volume.
I noticed her head slipping down so I eased her down so that her head was on my lap. I stretched my right arm across the back of the couch while using my left hand to gently stroke her hair. Mike sat back down and looked over at me "Do... you want to talk?". "No, not now. I would rather it be just the two of us". "I understand" Mike replied. "Hey, if you want, I'll turn myself in. I'll confess even to things you were involved with. I mean, I know you want to kill me and you have every reason to. I deserve it. But maybe if I do that..." I trailed off. "I don't know what's going on right now.. I honestly don't know if I should believe you or not. I want to, Vince. I really do. But you've... done terrible things. Don't turn yourself in just yet" Mike said, avoiding eye contact with me.
"I think I need to go home" I said, sliding myself from underneath her. "You've had too much to drink. And with then following you, it's not safe" Mike sat up a little. "Don't worry, they want to pin me for killing all of those people.... They won't arrest me for this. They are waiting for me to slip up and hurt someone again" I said, lowering my eyes. "Well... Just be careful" Mike said. "Sure" I replied sarcastically. "I will see you tomorrow, Mike" I said as I walked to the back of the couch and wrapped my arms around Mike's chest. It caught him off guard, I can tell. "Okay, Vince" he said while patting my arm. I grabbed my keys out of my pocket and looked over my shoulder, giving Mike a smile before walking out the door.
I headed towards my car as I glanced around, looking for the car that would follow me home. I spotted it as I climbed into my car and started it. Driving off in the direction of my house I couldn't help watching my mirror.. the car behind me. I wonder how long it will take to convince Mike I've "changed". I need to look for the perfect person to pin all of this on today.. so I need to get there early. It's going to take a bit to set up, though. And I need to make sure I stay in her good graces. I pulled into my driveway as I watched the other car in the mirror. Good, they are staying across the street. I didn't think that threat would work on the old man. I don't feel like sleeping. I unlocked my door and stepped inside. I have too many things to plan... I'm excited.
So... do I make her fall in love with me first? Or let her fall in love with Mike and then take her away... No... I've done that before. How boring. I sighed as I walked to my bedroom, falling onto my bed. Plan every step. No mistakes. I have to put more thought into this. I can't just do whatever I want right now. Fucking cops. Mike seemed to be actually worried about me. I slowly fell asleep thinking about how close Mike and I were in the beginning. Before he saw the real me. Before he found out all of the things I've done. He hasn't seen anything yet.
