Chapter 8

*Michael's Point Of View *

I walk up to the courtyard with Marilyn and we go our separate ways. Then I hear the bell ring so I head to class. That's when I see Evelyn. She looks at me like she wanted to talk but I just look away. I don't know why she keeps trying. I continue walking, then I see Timothy. He walks up to me. "Hey MJ!!", "Hey TJ! Man what's up?",He shakes his head. "Nothing I heard Evelyn is trying to get back with you?", I look down then back at him. "Yeah I guess but I just cant Tim I just can't deal with the fact She hooked up with Johnathan", "I feel ya, Hey, I've seen you and Marilyn hanging out anything you want to tell me?", I chuckle "Uhh other than the fact that you are nosy and a  stalker...Nope!","Aww man don't do that", The bell rings. "I'll see you later Tim", "Alright Mike bye!", "Bye", He joggs to his class. I walk in the hallway and see Evelyn talking to Marilyn. "What could they be talking about? I hope she isn't threatening her again", I whisperd to myself as I walked past....
*Marilyn's Point Of View *

I still can't believe she asked me that. Hell no you don't deserve him, !Uhh I'll try not much I can do", I lied. "Thank you I know we haven't talked in a while and I've been mean but I need this favor", She looked at me with pleading eye's. I almost felt bad for her... almost. I walk in class and sat by Bobbie. "Hey Marilyn how are you?", "I'm good just had an interesting week that's all", "yeah I bet-", She stopped in the middle of her sentence then looked up nervously. I turned around to see what she was looking at, it was Michael, "hey Marilyn hey Bobbie! ","H-hi m-",I hit her lightly "Michael! ",She said finally getting it out. "ha-ha hey Bobbie, uhh Marilyn you know the partners have to sit together to present right?", "oh uhh I didn't know umm Bobbie I gotta go I'll talk to you later", "It's ok go i gotta get Melissa she is late", "ok", I said as I followed Michael to his table he sat down and I sat next to him."hope we get a good grade I'm sure we will and maybe we can hang out today? ", "Yeah me too and ok we can if you want", "Of course I got called in for a shift at funstation so I'll pick you up im sure you don't want to watch me work", "No I do, I don't mind at all it'll be fun I can buy us dinner on your break", "No I'll buy us dinner ok? I want to be a gentleman and buy us dinner on our da- I mean when we hang out O?","ok and we better get ready we are next"....
*After school Michael's P.O.V*

I'm so glad it's the end of the week we have break for 2 weeks. I wait for Marilyn in the parking lot. I see her and wave. She waves back and turns to her friends saying bye and turns around to walk to my car. "Hi Michael ready for your shift?", "Yeah I would go home and change but I haven't gotten the new key's yet so I'll just change into my spare at work, you ready?", You have a spare? And yeah I'm ready! ", I open the door for her and close it then ran to my side. "Of course I have a spare because I almost always forget my uniform ha-ha", I start the car and drove off. We had a good conversation in The car. "ha-ha Michael you are retarded omg that's crazy stealing your dad's shaving gel and putting it in his shoes wow that's crazy ha-ha!", "I know I got the beating of my life, well it wasn't The worst one he given me", I got silent for a moment and Marilyn stopped laughing. "Michael what's wrong?", "Oh nothing", I said forcing a smile. I see she wants to say something but she leaves it alone. She puts her hand on mine as i parked the car. I look at her. "Michael I know we really just started getting to know each other better again, but I've known you since 5th grade I know your emotions and I know one that you are hurt And two that you just lied, Michael stop shutting me out I care about you I do and if you want to talk I'm your Oprah", I try not to laugh at her last comment but I give a little smile and just continued to look at her. "Michael it's ok I won't like you any less I'm your friend Ok?", She looks at me with that intense stare again. I know she is telling the truth. I just find it a little hard to open up sometimes on somethings. I look at our hands then at her. "I trust you Marilyn don't worry I do", We sat quiet for a minute then she kissed my hand. I look at her crazily. "why did you do that?", "I really don't know but I guess a seal of promise", "Oh ok,oh God I'm almost late for work!", She slowly removes her hand and gets out I do the sam. "sorry Michael I hope you are not late", "Uhh it's ok but come on I need to rush", Without thinking I grab here hands and kinda drag her with me. We get in just in time. I check in and I go and change into my uniform. I walk back out and Marilyn is sitting at a table. I walk to her. "Sorry Marilyn for dragging you ha-ha", I said putting my hand behind my neck smiling shyly. She turns around. "Michael it's ok you made it ok by holding my hand plus you were late ", "ha-ha really holding My hand made it better?", She looks away a little. "Uhh...I-" She was interrupted by my boss. "Michael Joseph Jackson! You need to get to work and stop flirting with your girlfriend! ", "Yes sir and this is my friend Marilyn", I say pointing to Marilyn. She holds out here hand. "Nice to meet you sir", He shakes her hand. "Are you sure this isn't your girlfriend Mike she is very pretty", I look at Marilyn and she is looking down cheesing. I think it's so cute how she does that. "Thank you sir you aren't too bad yourself", He smiles wider."Huh, now is she a keeper or what? Wish I was your age because  mike and I will be fighting, But ya'll look cute together, anyways Mike get to work clean some tables, Marilyn would you like a drink?", "Umm sure, may I have pink lemonade please?", He looks at me and point's to the beverage machine. "Mike you heard the girl pink lemonade!", I start blushing and quickly left to get Marilyn's drink. I  come back a few minutes later with the drink. "Here you go Marilyn", "Thanks mikey, just kidding thanks Michael ", "ha-ha no problem", I start blushing again and started washing the tables. Finally my shift ends and I check out. Marilyn and I walk to my car. "It was kinda fun watching you work and your boss is too funny", "ha-ha I guess", I open the door and she gets in. I close it for her and got in on my side. "Yeah he can be pretty funny but now I gotta watch him around you", "ha-ha w-why? no not now!", I look at her and she stops laughing looking out the window. I turn and look too. It's  Evelyn, marching angrily over to us. She comes and taps on my window yelling something .I let my window down. "What Evelyn?", I said irritatedly. "Umm lose the attitude and why are you here with her?", I look at Marilyn and she looks at me. I turn back to Evelyn. "Because she was with me while I was working, She's my friend, Wait, why do you care?", "Oh, because I just  thought ya'll were going out  together on a date, like a couple, silly me and Marilyn did you do what I askes?", "uhh I-", I cut her off. "What do you mean you thought we were dating silly you? what are you saying?", I said again getting really agitated. "What I mean is that I was silly for thinking that you would even go with a girl like Marilyn, Marilyn you didn't answer me!", She said tapping the car hood. "And she doesn't have to answer you ok! and I would go out with a girl like Marilyn you know what I would go out with Marilyn!", I turn around and grab Marilyn's face gently and pressed my lips against hers. I put as much passion in it that I could.I pull back and looked at Evelyn. "You know what I'm wasting my time please move!", Evelyn backs up in shock. I start backing up to pull off then she flicks me off  I look at Marilyn. She his touching her lip with her finger staring ahead. Oh snap what did I do?
*Marilyn's Point Of View*

He kissed me he really kissed me! I don't know if it was real or to make Evelyn jealous. But he kissed me. It was my first kiss and I swear I went to heaven and back. His lips are so freaking soft like a rose petal. They tasted like cherry lip balm. Weird but I just had to sit back and feel my mouth were he set his for those 5seconds. My thoughts were  interrupted by Michael. "Marilyn I'm sorry I don't know what came over me, I really don't I'm sorry but I couldn't see there and let her put you down like that",  I looked down then at him. "It's ok thanks and I actually didn't mind I liked it", crap did I just say that?, We pull up at my house."So you aren't mad? And you liked the kiss?", I shake my head. "Uhh no why would I be mad? You were sticking up for me", I said not answering the last part. He tapped the steering wheel. "But you liked the kiss?", "umm y-yes I..I..uhh did",oh gosh he probably gonna make an excuse to leave, He bite his lip and looked at me. "I did too... c-can I uhh do it again?", wait did he just ask to kiss me? omg my stomach is doing flips, I look at him and open my mouth for words, but nothing comes out so I just nod. He leans in to kiss me and I lean in a little also. Now he is so close I feel his warm breath on my face. I smell his sprite he had earlier. Now his lips are on mine. Moving along in a steady little rhythm. He pulls away slowly. "Wow that was amazing ", I close my eye's and then open them and look at him. He starts leaning back in again and this time I don't give him chance to lean all the way in. I kiss him with as much passion as he did earlier.  I pull back slowly, "w-wow", I said trying to catch a little breath. Michael smiles and nods. "Yes wow Marilyn I-",  He was interrupted by my mother. "Hey Marilyn I was just about to-, Oh hello Michael! ", Michael blushes and clears his throat. "Hello Ms. Burgess", She waves and smirk."Thanks for dropping her off and it was nice having you as a visitor this week", oh crap how did she find out ", Michael looks at me then back at her. "Ha-ha yeah thanks Ms. Burgess

", She nods then looks at me."Marilyn dinners in the fridge and Michael I did leave you a piece of strawberry cheese cake", I smile from embarassment "Thanks ma and have a good night at work", "I will, night Michael and next time tell me before you leave your undies in the bathroom, Bye Marilyn!", She gets in car and waves. I look at Michael. He gets put car blushing still from embarrassment. I get out to. "Sorry about that Michael I didn't know she knew", I said walking up to my door he follows me inside the house. "Haha it's ok atleast youre not in trouble", I nod. "yeah that's true", We walk in the kitchen and he sits on one of the barstools. I give him his cake and warmed up the pizza my mom left. I give him three slices on a plate and sat beside him. "We can eat in the living room and watch a movie if you want?", I said standing up. "oh ok sure ", I grab my plate and he follows me into the living room. I let him pick out a movie once we were settled . After 2 hours, I grab our dishes and went to clean them. Michael stands up  "I can help", I shake my head. "No it's fine I got just find a show to watch", "Are you sure?","Mhm, I got it", I said walking out. After I'm done cleaning the dishes I go and take a shower. When  came back, I see Michael sitting back laughing. Aww he is too cute!, I  went and sat beside him. He puts his arm behind me and we watch tv.....
*Michaels Point Of View *

I wake up the next morning feeling something lumpy on my thighs.I yawn look down to see Marilyn sleep on my lap. she looks cute. I sit there for awhile watching her sleep then I look at the time. 9:00 p.m. gosh we must have fell asleep while watching tv, I stand up a little and gently slide her off my lap and back on the sofa. I put the sofa blanket over her and walk to her room to get my last pair of clothes. As I walk out I notice a journal. "huh must be a diary should I read it? " I whispered to myself. Wait why am I debating to read someone elses stuff ugh I'm a idiot?, I walk to the bathroom and took a nice shower. When I finished, put on fresh boxers and clothes and walked back to Marilyn's room. I stop and stare at the journal, "Maybe a little peek " I said to myself as I open it and read it....
