The Exchange (Michael Clifford Fanfic)

Chapter 20

Hiiii, enjoy this chapter ! Also, if you couldn't tell I'm a Muke girl ;)))

 

I sat at the house bored out of my mind. I sat there and studied until I felt my brain explode. I started to fall asleep and I see a text from Luke.

 

Luke: Hey why didn’t you come with mike?     (1:30pm)

Me: When I woke up he was already gone.     (1:33pm)

Luke: Oh well what are you up to?     (1:35pm)

Me: Just sitting here, bored. I might go exploring, I don’t know my way around campus that well. Think I’m going to take the bus.      (1:45pm)

Luke: Oh well I will meet you on campus later? We can go for pizza around 7? :)     (1:47pm)

Me: Yay! sounds fun, see you later!     (1:48pm)

 I was excited that I was finally going to be having more human interaction. I guess I should put on pants I thought to myself. I needed to meet with my advisor anyway. I’ll just take the bus and go exploring in the meantime.

 I finally finished getting ready and made my way toward the campus. It was only 3 so I had a lot of time to explore and have my meeting. The bus ride was long, which was annoying because the school was nearly 3 minutes away. We just had so many damn random stops.

 When I got there, I went to the dining hall to get a little snack. I’d probably starve if I didn’t have a little bite to eat. I went to see my advisor and we talked about the classes I’d be taking over the summer. I was almost done with my freshman year. Being here in Australia was actually going to help me graduate early.

 My advisor dismisses me and I look at the clock to see it was already 5:45. Well shit. I only had an hour to look around campus. On the way I was going to find a place me Luke and I to eat.

 

MICHAELS POV

 

“Get it Luke!” Ashton yells to Luke as he walks out. “Oh I’ll try.” He says with a smirk. I couldn’t help but to feel the bile rise from my stomach. I have to stop Luke, I have to beat him to my house.

 I sat there and contemplated my actions for a good 10-15 minutes. I realized I have to go stop this date. I grabbed my shit and rush toward the door. “Michae-” I hear Calum call out to me but I was already slamming the door behind me.

 I run to my car and speed home. It was only a 10 minute drive but I was determined to make it there. When I finally get to my house I see there are no cars in the driveway. I put the car in park and open the door breaking into a full sprint. I didn’t even get to close the door to my car.

 “GRACE!” I scream as I burst through the door to my house. “GRACE! GRACE!” I shout over and over again. No I’m not losing this one again. I pick up my phone and call Grace frantically.

 “Hello?” She says confused because I was calling her. “Hi, whats up?” She says so casually as I was freaking out. “Come home, please. Please. Grace. Just come home.” I say into the phone, almost out of breath from running around the house like a maniac. “Oh I’m about to eat dinner, I’ll be home in an hour or two though.” She says softly.

 “Grace, please.” I say into the phone, nearly giving up. “Ugh, okay. I’ll be home soon.” She says hanging up the phone. I nearly skip around the house as I think about Grace not going through with her date. I’m such a dick. I know Luke likes her, but I don’t want to tell the guys about how I feel.

 I decided to cook up some food while I waited for Grace, she was about to eat dinner anyway. I hear the door unlock and I heard light footsteps walking through the halls and my heart stops. Grace walks into the kitchen, looking as beautiful as always. “Hey.” I say breathlessly. “Hi.” She says shortly. I know she’s nervous because she didn’t want to look up at me.

 “Why did you ask me to come home?” She questions. “Because… I want you here with me.” I say honestly. I walk over to her and put my arms around her waist. She responds by putting her hands on my biceps. But she was pushing me away slightly. “Michael, why are you doing this?” She says cautiously.

 “I care about you more than I want to admit.” I say honestly.

 She gives me a smile and I kiss her on her forehead. Grace lifts her face up so I can plant a kiss on her lips. I lean down and we kiss each other so tenderly. “Take me upstairs.” She whispers without hesitation. I lift her up so her legs were around my waist and I walked us slowly up to my room. Anticipation built in my chest as I knew what events where going to occur in my bedroom.
