Part Nineteen

Just so yall know, the characters' thoughts are in the present tense, but the rest of the story is in the past tense.

just thought I'd tell yah that so you don't get confused

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

"Kiss me. Then I'll know you're not mad." I said.

There were so many other things that I wanted to ask him to do, but I stopped myself.

Not yet, I thought, disappointedly.

Mike's P.O.V. + Time Skip To Friday Afternoon

Jesus, I was excited.

After receiving the news, I could hardly contain myself.

I fumbled with the letter, doing my best not to crush it by accident.

I heard (Y/N) shut off the water.

"Thank God, you're finally done in there! Now can you hurry up and get out here?!" I shouted from behind the bathroom door.

"Have you been waiting out there this entire time?" She shouted back.

"... That's not important." I said, biting back a laugh.

"Jesus, Mike. You're such a dork."

"Yeah, but I'm your dork." I said, happily.

Oh.

I hadn't really understood what I was saying in the moment.

Maybe I'd gone to far, calling myself hers...

I was about to apologize, but she cut me off.

"That's something that a dork would say." She laughed.

I guess she didn't mind.

"Are you done yet?" I said, feigning an impatient tone. I couldn't wait another minute. I needed to show her this letter.

Hearing it from my mother was enough to make me weak. Seeing the actual written contract - the proof - and knowing that there is no way it could be untrue would only have even more severe effects on me. On us.

"ONE SECOND!" She yelled, "UNLESS YOU'D LIKE ME TO COME OUT THERE HALF NAKED!"

Well, I wouldn't mind-

I saw the doorknob turning, and I quickly put both of my hands behind my back, hiding the letter.

She swung the bathroom door open, unfortunately not half naked.

"How can I help you, sir?" She asked, walking over to me.

I smiled widely, not saying anything.

"What is it?" She questioned.

I still said nothing, my smile only growing wider.

"Please tell me you didn't just sit out here for thirty minutes while I showered for absolutely no reason..." She said.

Trust me, I have a reason.

I waited for a few more seconds, allowing more suspense to form.

She raised her eyebrows at me, as if to say, really, Wheeler?

I flung my arm out from behind my back, and shoved the letter in her face.

"Read it!" I said, as I watched her take the note from my hand and tear through the envelope.

"What do you think I'm doing?" She retorted.

She pulled the written document out of it's now torn covering.

I watched as her intently as her eyes scanned the paper quickly. She took no time at all to inspect the details of the written laws and rules.

"... Are you... Is this a joke?" She asked. I shook my head vigorously in response.

She looked at the paper once again.

"Mike, if this is some sort of jest, I'm not going to be happy. I'm going to be very angry actually." She said.

"Read it as many times as you want! Inspect every detail! It's genuine. Anyways, if it was a sick joke, you couldn't stay mad at me for long." I said, smiling.

"Wanna bet?" She jabbed.

She just wouldn't believe that it was really, officially in her hands. The contract that would determine so much for so long...

I moved over to face the note with her. I flipped over the paper several times, showing her all the various signatures and marks and such that signified its authenticity.

"Oh my God..." She finally said, coming to the realization that the note was, indeed, not fake.

She looked up at me, eyes glistening, as they were becoming brimmed with tears. I smiled down at her, and she pulled me into a hug, which both of us melted into.
