Michael kissing me came as a complete surprise, so obviously I would stutter before reacting. He took me not immediately responding the wrong way, though, so he began to pull away. I wasn't letting that happen, though, no. I wasn't one to let someone down. I reached my arm and looped it around the back of his neck, my hand sliding into his hair. I pushed his face back towards mine and pressed our lips together. Our lips moved in perfect sync and eventually, he titled his head and deepened it. He began to suck on my upper lip, earning a moan from me. He then took his teeth to my bottom lip, but I just lost it and pressed myself even closer. He wrapped an arm around my waist and I could feel his fingertips pressing into my back with anticipation.

I pulled away, though, when I heard someone whistle at us. I flushed in embarrassment and scooted away from him. Michael sat there, gazing at me in shock. I placed my hands on my cheeks, trying to use the coldness of them to remove the heat from my cheeks. My stomach rumbled at that moment, though, so I flushed even more. Sighing in disappointment, I dropped my hands into my lap and fell backwards.

"Hungry, little one?" I heard Michael ask just moments later.

"Ye - little one?" I wondered, my head lolling to the left to look at him.

He shrugged, poking my stomach. "You're so little," he chuckled.

"Oh," I let out a short laugh, "right."

"Hey, you are. Do you want to go grab some lunch?"

I raised an eyebrow. "From where?"

"There's this awesome diner that we could go to. Burgers, fries, shakes, it's the shit. You'll love it," he winked.

"And if I don't?" I grinned cheekily at him.

"You'll love it," he assured me. "And if you don't, no refunds."

I snorted. "Yeah, okay."

"Let's go?"

"Let's go."

The diner was only a three minute drive from the small beach. It was a small diner, very small, and all in all, it was adorable. It was a light blue color, with silver lining and neon lights wrote out 'Sterling's Diner' in cursive. The inside was super cute. There were red leather booths everywhere with a checkered flooring and a bar where adults say with cups of coffee and hot fudge sundaes.

Michael and I stepped up to the hostess sign, only to read a sign that read 'please seat yourself in the dining room or at the bar and press the button on your table. We'll gladly have someone come to your service! :) Thank you & please enjoy your meal here at Sterling's!'

We both looked at each other and shrugged before going to a booth in the farthest corner of the restaurant. I sat at one end, and raised an eyebrow at Michael who stood at the end of the table.

"I have to use the bathroom real quick, I'll be back," he said before leaving me sitting at the table.

I shrugged, okay.

I picked up a laminated menu, opening it up and scanning through it. I shifted in my seat, tugging at my shorts. I'd worn a yellow tank top and high waisted dark denim shorts with my black vans. It was cool out today, so I thought why not? Although while we were at the beach, Michael splashed water onto me while we were walking around so my shorts were highly uncomfortable at the moment.

I held onto the bathroom wall for support just as I was about to wash my hands. My balance has become completely and utterly awful since a few weeks ago and I have yet to find out why. My right leg tends to hurt, and sometimes I can't focus. I get the urge to get checked out by a doctor, but then I remember that they tend to creep the shit out of me.

I washed my hands quickly and exited the bathroom. Looking around, my eyes stopped at the booth we're seated at. November sat, completely focused on the menu with her bottom lip slightly jutted out in concentration. She looked adorable (not that I would admit that) and I couldn't help but let a small smile appear onto my face.

I went and sat on the other side of the booth, shooting her a grin in the process. I tried not to grimace at the pain coursing it's way through my body.

"You know," Nova mumbled, flipping the menu in all different directions to look for who knows what. "This menu is not very descriptive."

"What do you mean?" I furrowed my eyebrows and glanced over at her. "Its simple with only four things on it; burger, fries, shakes, and coke."

"Not much variety is all . . ."

"You don't like burgers? I can take you somewhere else if you'd like, honestly it'd be fine."

"Whoa whoa whoa, it should be a crime to not love burgers. I love them." She smiled down at the menu before slamming her hand down onto the little blue button on our table.

"Great," I smiled.

A waitress came over to our table and shot me a smile. I ignored it, though, looking back down at the menu. I pulled out my phone and sent my mom a text telling her when we'd be back.

"Hello, you two," she chirped. "My name is Tatiana and I'll be your waitress on this lovely afternoon. What can I get y'all to drink?"

"Coke please," Nova mumbled, dropping her head instead of looking at the waitress.

"Mhm, okay," Tatiana scribbled on her notepad before turning to me with a large grin on her face. "What can I get you?"

"A chocolate shake, please," I asked politely.

"Ooh, great choice!" She chirped, writing on her notepad again. "Anything else?"

"Can I get two straws in that milkshake, please?"

"Oh," I watched Tatiana get a slight pout on her face, "alright then."

"Thank you." I shot her a smile.

She smiled largely back at me and then clicked her tongue and winked. "I'll be right out with those drinks."

After she left, Nova turned to me. "Two straws?"

"You have to try the milkshakes here. They're fucking awesome."

"Well, Mister Kingston, it looks to me like you'll have to get an MRI - sooner rather than later. For right now, I think I'll have to say that there's a large chance that you have cancer in your right hip bone." The doctor spoke sadly, setting his clipboard down.

"That's why I keep feeling pains in my legs?"

"That's why you keep feeling pain at all."
