Michael and I were chilling out on his man cave (I was the only girl allowed in there apart from his mum). I was sitting across the sofa and he was laying in between my legs, his back pressed against my chest as he played some video game that I didn't really payed attention to.

It's been four days since I arrived to Australia and everything had been perfect.

Michael has been the sweetest guy ever. He made sure I was comfortable when we went out somewhere and he also made sure that everybody knew I was his girlfriend and that he loved me. It was so cute.

"Baby girl" he called, still focusing on the game.

"Yeah?"

"Can you play with my hair or something?" I giggled and started playing with his hair.

I braided his fringe and then ran my fingers through his coloured hair.

It's amazing how time passed by when I was with him. It felt like there wasn't enough hours in a day to be woth him. Whatever we were doing, it was like I couldn't get enough of him. It's a nice feeling, but also scary. I rely on Michael so much. Too much, sometimes.

I shouldn't depend on people but, again, it's Michael, the boy I love with all my heart.

"I think we should go to sleep, love" I whispered at the sleepy boy.

"But I wanna play" he whined.

"You can play tomorrow, let's go"

He nodded and together we walked to his room, got changed (not really, just took off our pants) and went to bed.

------------------------------

I woke up and ran my arm around sleepily, trying to find my boyfriend but when I didn't I frowned.

I got up and started searching for him around the house. First upstairs and then downstairs.

I smiled and shook my head when I heard swearing coming from his mancave in my way to the kitchen.

After filling a glass with water I walked to where all the swearing came from and when I opened the door I saw him sitting on his computer with his headphones, playing League Of Legends with his online friends.

I wrapped my arms around him from behind, making him jump a little.

"Fuck, babe, you scared the crap out of me" he smiled up at me.

"Sorry" I whispered as I walked around the chair and sat on his lap, my head dropping to his shoulder.

"Guys, this is my girlfriend, Aria" he introduced "baby, these are Jack, Dylan and Ed"

"Nice to meet you" they said in unison.

"Nice to meet you too guys" I smiled "Can they see me Mikey?" I asked.

"Yeah" he nodded as he drank a bit of his beer.

"Can I get some?" I asked.

"Beer?" I nodded "Yes, of course"

"Thanks" I took a few sips of the bottle.

I felt how my eyes slowly started closing, although I was trying my best to keep awake.

"Baby, I love you" I whispered and I saw from the corner of my slightly opened eyes a smile on his lips.

"I love you more, angel" he kissed the top of my head and that was enough for me to go to sleep.

Next time I woke up I was laying in his bed, but this time with his arms tightly wrapped around my body, as if he was afraid of me leaving in the middle of the night while he slept.

I never would.
