     We arrived home and everything was dark. Jennifer and Ben had fallen asleep. Well I don't even know if Ben is here I haven't seen him in quite some time.My thoughts were interrupted by Michael.

"So how did you like my friends ?"

"They were really nice. Thanks for inviting me by the way." I said with a smile

"No it's my pleasure." he smiled back

"Michael can I ask you something ?"

"Yeah sure" he had a little but of confusion in his face.

"Well you look nothing like Ben, but a lot like Jennifer and yeah.." I asked well commented and looked down awkwardly.

He laughed. "Well he isn't my father, my mother married his when I was 10 and I call him dad sometimes because he's the one who helped my mom and I. If you were wondering I do have a different last name."

"Oh I'm sorry if that comment bothered you."

"Nah it's fine, don't worry. So do you want to go inside ?"

"Yes." I answered and we got out of the car. When he opened the door it was dark, I immediately grabbed his arm for protection I guess.

"Oh your scared. Come here" he said noticing and he wrapped his arm around my waist. He was protecting me like he said and I'm glad.

     Once he walked me to my room we said our goodnight and hugged. I took off my clothes and put of pijamas, removed my makeup, and put my hair in a bun. I got into bed and left the light on, and all of a sudden my mind went to Michael. He was the sweetest guy but he was still tough and manly and punk rock. He makes me forget about everything and makes me want to live. Michael protects me and helps my demons. I barely know him and now here I lay, falling in love with a man that maybe doesn't love me that way or maybe just doesn't love me at all. I love Michael.Without thinking I call Michael.

"Hello" he said a little worried, but not tired at all.

"Hi, I just called you because well I'm scared and... Well I just cant sleep" I said quietly

"I can't sleep either. Can I go to your room ?"

"Um yeah that's fine"

"Okay I'm on my way" he said and a little shuffling in the background. Then I hung up.

     A couple seconds later my door opened and Michael walked in and closed it behind him. He layed down next ti me on the other side of the bed. He wrapped his arms around me and I did too and just cuddled.

"Madeleine? " he whispered after 20 minutes of cuddling.

"Yes Michael?"I looked up at him.

"We barely know eachother." he stoped for a moment. "I'm falling in love with you." I looked at him straight in the eyes, I can see the honesty and truth. I knew he could see that I felt the same way towards him and I just smiled.

"Michael.. This is all really new to me but something in my heart is different when I'm with you and I'm falling in love with you." We just cuddled harder after our confession. He gently grabbed my face with his large rough hands and kissed me intensely but delicately.

"I missed your lips" was the last thing he said before we both fell asleep to the sound of our beating hearts.
