Chapter 33

Michael's solo

"Oh my god, Michael that was amazing" Danni says once I lay on the sand next to her panting. I can't manage to say anything so I just turn my head to face her and smile, breathless. At this point, I really don't mind lying on the sand now I'm next to her and what we have just done in a public place.

It starts to go dark but we stay out.

"I brought lights" I say before getting up to get them out of the boot, along with a picnic basket and blanket.

I send Danni to the sea so she can't see what I'm doing. Once I signal for her to come back, she does as so. Her face, lot up from the white fairy lights. She covers her mouth as she looks at the picnic blanket, covered in pancakes, cold mini pizzas, sandwiches, hot chocolate, marshmellows and of course chocolate covered strawberries. Around the blanket I have carefully placed the lights so we can see what we are doing but still be romantic.

"Michael, this is beautiful" she says after sitting beside me on the red tartan picnic blanket. I tap my legs and she scoots over and rests her head on my thighs as I stroke her hair.

"Strawberry?" I ask picking up the plate of chocolate covered strawberries and she nods. I feed her the strawberry and she bites the bitting half and I eat the rest and lick my fingers getting rid of any unwanted strawberry juice, and I know, it drives her crazy.

"I think we should go" I say after checking my phone and realising it's gone 12am. "Did you have a good day?" I ask her knowing the answer

"Oh Michael, it was the best day of my life" she says whilst helping me back up the left over food and shoving it into the small wicker basket. I carry the basket in one hand and her hand in the other as we carefully walk up the stone steps that are now invisible in the pitch black of the night.

We get home around 2:30am, Ash, Cal and Luke all fast asleep. We sneak upstairs and get changed. She doesn't mind changing in front of me after what we did earlier.

"Night beautiful" I stroke her face with my thumb as we are face to face in bed.

"Night" she says and turns over.

"Michael?" she says after a few minutes.

"Yes?" I reply.

"You know I'm going to have to go back to my mums sometime, I can't stay here with you, Luke, Cal and Ash as much as I love being here, I haven't been home in the last month" she said slowly, each word like a dagger in me. I never thought about that.

"Oh, yeah, of course" I say as a year runs down my cheek. That hit me hard.
