Chapter 4

Michael's P.O.V

I haven't spoken to Dima since our little disaster date thing. Okay, maybe not disaster, but it definitely didn't go as well as it could have.

I didn't reach out to her, and she didn't reach out to me. I was a little sad about that because, believe it or not I started caring for her in just one week.

But I was going to try and fix that today because I'm leaving at dawn tomorrow and this could be my last chance.
----------
Michael: hey

I sat there staring at my phone for a good 5 minutes, waiting for her response.

After ordering a pizza, waiting for it to come, and then eating that pizza, she finally responded.

Dima: Hi

I felt really weird talking to her. I did still like her, but the way she was last night made me very confused. But I thought, maybe it was just a shock to her. So being as though I'm leaving early tomorrow I saw today as my last shot of becoming more than friends with her, and I took it.

Michael: Could I maybe come by your house later today?

I wasn't super confident in her saying yes, but it's worth a shot right?

Dima: For what?

Michael: Because I want to talk

Dima: About what?

Michael: Can you please just tell me yes or no? You can find out what I want to talk about when we talk.

Dima: Okay, but there's no need to get so spicy with me.

I didn't even reply after that because I needed time to think about exactly what I was going to say to her.

Dima's P.O.V

I was a little shocked when Michael asked to come to my house. I figured he was just going to leave tomorrow and forget all about me, because we didn't talk all last night like we normally do, or text all today.

I was planning on telling him I was busy or sometbing, just so that he couldn't come to my house. But my best friend Kendra talked me out of that.

I told her about Michael after like my third day of talking to him non-stop. I think she was starting to like him more than I did, just from stories I told her.

Any time I would say anything about not being sure of my feelings she would give me one of her token motivational speeches. I swear she started shipping us before the was even a ship to be sailed.

And now I'm not sure if there ever will be. That's what I'm going to talk to Michael about today, especially because of what he said last night.
---------

Michael just got to my house almost ten minutes ago and in that time we have both just been sat on the living room couch staring at the black TV screen. Until he decided to change that.

"I came over today cause I wanted to talk to you about something." He said

"I know, you said that when I texted you. What do you want to talk about?"

He laughed nervously and said "Oh, yeah I forgot. I wanted to continue our conversation from last night."

I kinda figured that's what he wanted to talk about but I was silently praying that wasn't it. I just wanted for both of us to say our goodbyes and forget about each other. As lovely as it would be to date Michael I know it's unrealistic. Those types of things only work in books and movies, and this is neither.

"Oh, okay. What about it?" I said

"You remember how I told you that anything we start I know we can keep?"
