Chapter Fourteen || Will You Be My One and Only?

"Lucas Robert Hemmings! You should be at work!" Emma huffs. I groan and face away from my girlfriend.

"Called in sick."

"But you didn't go out yesterday or anything?" She asks suspiciously, "Luke, did you see anyone yesterday?"

The hurt in her voice only leaves me irritated. She shouldn't be so sad, anyways. Not like she's not rude to me.

"No, Emma. Just-- go to where you need to go."

Before Emma leaves the room she mumbles a few words under her breath and leaves the house. She recently found a job at the mall I go to... Making things a little more difficult due to Michael also working there. And maybe that's why I skipped today.

I'm not actually sick. I'm making things too complicated. I could have gone to work and just avoided Emma, right?

My mind goes to Michael so I pick up my phone from under my pillow. No notifications. I sigh and sign in.

To: Michael✨

Hey, Mike. I called in for a break today, mind doing the same?
Read 7:30 am

Michael won't skip because of me. He's too smart for that.

From: Michael✨

Sure! Come over whenever.

"Luke!" Michael squeals. He runs up to me in his pink skirt and floral crop top. Michael jumps into my arms and I support his bum.

My already killing smile brightens even more.

"Hey Mikey."

"I feel so bad for skipping," Michael frowns and slips out of my arms, "like- I feel like a ninja but... we could get in trouble! And I lied!!"

"Shh, Mikey, it's fine."

Michael gives me a weak smile and grabs my cold hand. He mumbles a 'follow me' and leads me into his living room.

"Watching a movie was fun, maybe we can watch another one together?"

I look down into his emerald eyes and smile, "Of course."

Michael giggles and cuddles up against me on the couch. The movie was already halfway through when we got settled down yet I don't exactly care because I'm really only focusing on the angel who's literally laying on top of me.

"Luke?"

"Yes, Michael?"

"I've thought of this many times before-- and I'm sure you may not be ready, but..."

The room falls silent and the movie seems to have become mute. My heart beats abnormally fast and butterflies swarm in my stomach.

"Y-Yeah?"

"Will you be my one and only??"

My mouth opens agape. Michael's eyes fill with hurt and he nearly turns away, but I grab the side of his face to face mine before he can do so.

"Michael, I'd love to be."

Michael smiles and searches his hand around without looking. It grabs my crotch for a second and I let out a squeak.

"Oh my god-- I meant to grab your hand!" He gasps, "I'm so so so sorry!"

I smile and quickly find his hand. "It's fine."

Our fingers intertwine and both our smiles widen. Also, I'm not sure who moved first but somehow our lips met.
