Love hurts?

Emma

Emma's POV

Michael called and said he'd be over shortly. I finish getting ready and I have butterflies like crazy. I decided to wear a plain shirt and a short skirt, nothing to revealing but enough to catch his attention. As I'm fussing around with my hair I get a text from Michael saying he's at the back door.

I open the door smiling inviting him inside "hi" he smiles nervously "hi, you know you could have just used the front door" I giggle "I was worried you neighbours might see" he mumbles looking around "this is a really nice place" he smiles sitting on the sofa "thanks, I'll go get us some juice" I smile.

We sit talking and joking around for awhile then Michael suddenly becomes silent "is everything ok?" He looks away from me guiltily "I'm sorry for what I said" he mumbles "it's fine I already told you" I smile rubbing his shoulder. "I was just in shock. The whole thing just got sprung on me and nobody even gave me a chance to think"

"And have you thought about it now?" He nods nervously "I've been thinking about you a lot lately but there's something I don't understand. Why would you wanna marry me? You never even liked me when we were kids" I lift his face so he's facing me "Michael, I've always liked you" I confess "even if you didn't like me back" I sigh. "I liked you. I just always thought you'd never like me" shake my head smiling "your just saying that"

"I tried to kiss you once, do you remember? It was the summer our families went on vacation together" I roll my eyes playfully "I remember, and I also remember at that exacted moment Marlon ran behind me pulling my pants down"

"That had nothing to do with me I swear" he protests and I look at him skeptically "I actually thought you were gonna be girlfriend that summer that's why I tried to kiss you, then Marlon ruined it" he sighs "well I'm here now" I smile. "Are you sure?" I nod and he leans over kissing me softly. As our kiss deepens I feel his hand slowly moving up my leg and I move it away "I thought you wanted this" he says confused "I do its..." I look away feeling myself blush "are you a virgin?" I nod turning back to him. "I'm supposed to stay pure for my husband until my wedding night" he smiles pulling me into him "but I thought you wanted to marry me?" He asks confused "I do but..." He shakes his cutting me off "then you will be pure for me"

"What if we do something else?" I smile starting to kneel down and quickly he stops me "no! I don't like that" he says looking uncomfortable with the idea "I want all off you" I smile nervously "let's go upstairs" he says taking my hand. We get half way up and Michael gets a text "I'm gonna have to go" he says heading back down "what's wrong I thought.." He cuts me off "I do, I really do but I need to go and help a friend of mine right now"

"Typical always helping others" I giggle "I'll come back tomorrow?" I shake my head "I'm working tomorrow we can meet Friday?"

"Ok, I'll come over in the afternoon" he nods "but, can we please keep this just between us for now?" I look at him confused "I just want to get to know each other better without our parents getting involved" I nod agreeing "you won't tell anybody about...you know?" I stutter "no swear. What me and you do or are going to do is just between us I promise" he smiles kissing my temple before leaving.

Michael's POV

While I was at Emma's house I got a text from Ocean telling me to come to the hospital as soon as possible. She put a smiley face at the end of the message so I know it's nothing bad. I head home to take a quick shower, brush my teeth and change my clothes before I get there.
