He sat down on the shore beside her, beside the best person in the world, beside his everything, beside her and only her. El.
He looked down at her gorgeous curly head as it was flying around from the wind around them.
She was the most gorgeous girl he had ever laid eyes on. She never failed to make him melt, over her. She didn't know that. Of course not, she's way too oblivious about it. He found it so darn cute.
He slowly reached for her hand but then he realised he didn't want to rush anything on her. So he let go. She finally looked at him with a beautiful smile on her face, he looked back as they were almost leaning in and-
"Michael!" Mikes mom yelled as she opened the door with full force, waking him up from the best dream he's ever had. He almost cried, he wanted to stay in that dream. She told him yesterday he needed to watch over holly because she wants to go shopping with her friends then hang out after it. He huffed and threw the sheets off him and walked to the bathroom and he slammed the door shut.
He looked at himself in the mirror, then smiled like a complete idiot, remembering that dream. It felt so real. So darn real. He needed to see her, he needed to see el but he didn't know how. Then he got an idea.
Mike left the bathroom and went to the living room. "Mike! I told you to watch over holly? Right?" She asked and he nodded. "I know mom, you told me." She smiled and nodded walking over the door.
"Whatever you do, don't think about going out, it's cold outside, and she may get a cold." She said walking to the door. Oh that's so happening, he thought."Okay, got it." She left, finally.
Mike ran to the living room where holly sits and watches her stupid baby cartoon.
"Holly?" He said and she looked at him.
"Wanna go see el?" He asked and she quickly jumped off the couch and nodded.
Holly loved el, they're both good friends at some way. He didn't understand. Holly is like too young but her and eleven are like sisters.
Mike got hollys coat and gloves with her small beanie and put them on her, as he did the same. Mike picked her up and walked to his bike.
"Can you sit down here?" Mike asked and holly nodded. He put her down making sure she doesn't fall, he got on his bike and she quickly put her small arms around his neck.
He started biking to els cabin, he couldn't wait to see her, he knew he was gonna be in trouble. But he didn't care.
They finally arrived and Mike got off his bike and picked holly up and walked to her door.
He knocked. Two times. El opened the door and smiled, he smiled back. "Hey, el. Surprise!" He said and she started squealing and took holly from him and walked inside leaving him standing there like an idiot. "Okay?" He said and walked inside and closed the door behind him.
He walked over to both of them as holly was on els lap and they were having a small talk. Holly only talked to el which wasn't weird at all. They really are like sisters.
He sat down beside el and just admired her features. Her hair was a mess, but so adorable. She smelled like a vanilla scented candle, he really wanted to hug her but not now, yet.
El put holly down and she started watching Whatever was on tv. El turned to him and he started screaming internally. She smiled so warmly at him and he smiled back.
"How are you?" Mike finally broke the silence. "Good, how are you?" She replied with a sweet smile on her face.
"Good, too." He said, he reached for her hair and stroking it gently. She blushed and looked away from him. He completely forgot holly was there, but it's not like she was paying attention to them. She was too busy staring into the t.v.
Mike hated the awkward silence. He wanted to do something, anything. But it's like he was tied up and couldn't move, or talk.
He didn't realise she leaned over his shoulder and held his hand, intertwine. He smiled and leaned his head over hers.
It went a while like this until holly was sleeping on the floor and he quickly picked her up and went to els room and put her down on the bed.
He turned off the lights and didn't close the door because she's scared from closed rooms and she'd cry none stop. Got that from her sister.
He walked back to el and sat down while she was eating her eggos. "Want some?" She asked giving him one. "No thanks, they're yours." He said and she nodded.
She finally finished eating and sat back. He really needed to tell her, about whatever he felt. He couldn't hide it anymore, it killed him inside.
"El?" Mike spoke up. "Yes?" She replied.
He looked into her eyes for a second and started leaning in. This time, not a dream. Not his mom waking him up. Nothing, just them.
El leaned in too, as they closed the gap between them. Mike kissed her softly.
He pulled away and looked into her eyes and she smiled, one of the cutest smiles ever. It's like she saw the best thing in her life, which it was mike. He's really the best thing she could ever ask for. She hated her past, but when it came to Mike, She loved every second of it. Her heart belongs to Mike wheeler, and only Mike wheeler.
