Michael Clifford- Next Door Neighbor

Chapter 11

We all walk to the one direction concert and i eventually let go of Michael's hand slowly as i jump up and down next to Elly and Sophia while Jade is dancing with Luke to live while we're young. I see Harry wink at me and so does Michael. I raise a thumbs up to him to say everything is going good. Michael just stands there puzzled. He walks over to me after about four more songs plus all Harry's talking and grabs my hand as i am pulled away. "What are we doing?" I ask him as he gets in canoe and i help him start paddling towards the 'island' we went to when we first got here. "Why are we hear." I say still unsure that he won't start bullying me again. "Idk, i just thought i would get to know u better." He says smirking. "Oh well, um....I'm shy sometimes and can also get really frustrated sometimes, i like skateboarding, and basically having a good time." I say to him smiling. "Um yeah basically me, even the skateboarding part. And look I'm really sorry i haven't been letting u have a good time for the past week or two weeks." He says shyly. I weaken as i smile and scoot closer to him. "Hey, it's alright I'm having a good time now and I've made some great friends, including u." I say as i laugh. "Even though u can be annoying sometimes." I say teasingly. "Idiot." Michael says back at me as i smirk and sit there as his hand holds mine again and our fingers intertwine. 'This is all it can every be ' i think as i know his feelings are that he just wants to be friends. It would rather be that than bullying i think. But why do i get a bolt of electricity when i hold his hand or even touch him. "Hey this is gonna sound weird, but can i touch your hair?" Mikey says awkwardly. "I always thought that your looks softer than anyone's hair." He says blushing really cutely. "Sure." I say blushing as he touches it. It felt really good having Michael actually touch me finally. "But i have to be able to touch yours." I kinda say out loud. "I kinda thought the same about yours." I say reddening really badly. I put my hand on his head and rub it playingly. He smiled a sweet smile and my stomach knotted as i grazed his cheek coming down from touching his hair that i could have just kept rubbing forever. "Uh. So were we good at the opening?" He asks breaking the silence. "U were awesome. I loved that song u played!" I shout a little to loud. He winces and i blush. "Sorry. Ha u were awesome." I repeat more quietly this time. "Oh that's ok and thanks. We try hard at the band." He says smiling. "So are u and Harry like, together, now?" He asks worriedly. "What! Oh no why?" I ask curious. "Oh nothing i just saw u staring at him sooo." "Oh no were just friends." I say blushing at the fact that he noticed. "Well we better get back." Michael says as we get in the canoe. It was silent the whole way back and i kept my eyes off him when he was looking. But otherwise i stared at him the whole way. We talk as we walk out of the canoe and meet all our friends with one direction in the band room. "There they are." Everyone says as we walk in. Niall has a big smirk on his face when he saw me by Michael but i quickly glared at him. He laughed and we both sat down in separate chairs. "So we were just playing truth or dare." Harry says as i cock my head up. "Yeah want to join?" Louis asks. "Sure." We both say at the same time. We played. And it went how any game of truth or dare would go with 5sos and 1d. All the questions were stupid. So far i had drink a full cup of water down, by Louis. Tell my fifth grade crush by Liam and Harry, and sing ' i love kangaroos.' Over three times by Sophia and Calum." Tris, truth or dare?" Niall asks smirking. "Dare." I say bravely. "Sit on Michaels lap for the rest of the game." He says as everyone coos at us. Surprisingly Michael pats his lap for me to come over. He was sitting on a one person comfy chair like couch thingy. "Hello." I say shyly as i sit on his lap. Another jolt went over me and my stomach had butterflies in it. "Hey princess." He whispers in my ear. I am sitting sideways on his lap so it was easy for him to whisper in my ear too. 'Did he just mean that? No he was probably just doing it just to do it. I smile shyly at him. I feel secure as he wraps his arms around me pulling me closer. When i feel his breath on my neck my stomach starts to grow wild and nervous. Soon it was over and i were slouched on his lap now more like he was cradling me cause i was tired. We all get up and the comfort and secureness of Michael is gone immediately. "Goodnight." I say shyly to everyone as i go out and to my bunk. When i reached the door i jumped cause a hand touched me. I turn around and panic when i see Michael. Is he really going to bully me after all this again. "Shhhh I'm not... i won't hurt u" he says grabbing my hand giving me another bolt. What is it with the bolt i think?
"I just wanted to say goodnight, and,....it kinda hurts that u think i would still do anything to u." He says as he tears up. "Mikey I'm sorry." I say as i rub his head. "It's fine. Goodnight." He says as he walks away. I get ready for bed and as i do all i can think about is how i felt when i sat on his lap. Soon my eyelids take over and i fall into deep sleep.
