Be Mine Tonight - Michael Clifford

Chapter 3 - Green Eyes

I stormed into my house and slammed the door. "Riley, is that you?" My stepdad Robert said from the kitchen. He wasn't my favorite person in the entire world, but he made my mom happy so he was okay.

"Yeah, I have plans with Carly later so I'm gonna go up and change" i said on my way up to my bedroom. I opened the door and screamed when I saw someone sitting on my bed. "What the hell Carly!"

"Robert let me in!" I noticed she had a heavy amount of makeup on and her blonde hair was curled. She pointed to my closet. "What are you wearing to see the guys?" I looked down at myself. I wasn't really planning on changing. I was wearing jeans and a neon orange v neck.

"This?" i said

"No you're not! No way in hell!" She said "You can borrow one of my maxi dresses! I'll do your hair"

This was ridiculious. I was not turning into some girly flower just for some guys. "Carly, we are going over to play video games. I'm not dressing up."

"Riley, do you not understand what is happening?"

I understood. Clearly, I was not understanding in the way she wanted me to. They were guys in a band. A really good band actually. I looked up their songs when I got home the night before. But they weren't worth changing my apperance. No guy was. "Yes. Two cute guys invited us over to play video games."

She was always so worried about looking perfect. But I wasn't. It was amazing we got along like we did considering we were complete opposites. "At least let me do something with your hair!" I glanced over at the mirror. My brunette hair was down, casually. I straighted it that morning, like I did every other day.

"Carly, I have bigger problems. Can you focus for a minute?" I needed to talk about Adam. Her and Adam were in the same circle of friends. She would know what to do about the situtation.

"What could be more important than-"

I crossed my arms. "Adam Matthews asked me out"

"WHAT" I explained everything and she just sat there. She didn't say a word. Which was rare for Carly. She was almost never speachless.

"Please tell me whatever he is trying is some kind of joke" i said

"He may be an ass sometimes Riley, but he's not a womanizer. He probably really likes you."

"Great" Wonderful, that is just what I need. Some weirdo creep jock who wants in my pants. Whatever, one date couldn't hurt anything, right? Then I'll let him know I don't want anything to do with him.

Carly and I walked over to her house so she could finish getting ready. She looked like she was about to go on a fancy date rather than going to sit and play video games. Personally I thought she was trying too hard, but if she was happy then I wasn't going to fight her. She added to her makeup and we headed over to the boy's house. She looked at me and pointed to the doorbell.

"Why do I have to do everything?" i said as i pushed the botton.

We heard some male voices shouting and the door finally opened. The boy who answered was wearing tight black skinny jeans like Luke and Calum with a Nirvana shirt with holes everywhere. It looked like he got in a fight with scissors and the scissors won. I liked his style, the black bandana that sat under his brownish blonde hair was cute.

"Hi" i said "Luke and Calum invited us over"

He raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Now I understand." He held his right hand out to me "I'm Ashton" he shook both of our hands.

"Riley" i said. Carly looked completely starstruck. I cleared my throat loudly

"Oh, um I'm Carly" she said

She was soo smooth. It was amazing she didn't have a boyfriend. He stepped to the right and held a hand out. "You can come in. I'll go get Luke. Game room is down that hall, two doors on the right"

He walked away and I couldn't help but stare. I could see his back muscles through the back of his shirt. Damn. Why were the guys in this band so hot? Carly should have said something. Hopefully the last one isn't nearly as hot. We went down to the game room and Carly was really quiet. Which was weird for her.

"You okay?" i asked

She nodded "i think so, this is just. I don't know, crazy. Girls all over the world would kill to be in our position right now"

She was right. There were girls everywhere who would probably literally kill someone to spend a day with these guys. It was finally hitting me that this was happening. I may not have been a huge fan, but anyone with a brain could understand this opportunity.

"You're right, this is-" We reached the game room and I stopped in my tracks. The room was an absolute dream. Four different tv's, two couches and two or three different game systems. "holy shit" i said

"Please don't pass out on me" Carly said in a sarcastic tone.

"I can't promise-"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T GO IN THE GAME ROOM?" I heard an australian male voice yell from another room. Carly and I both jumped. We heard footsteps and finally a guy was standing in the doorway. My mouth dropped open.

He was beautiful.

His hair was bleached on the ends and there was a black stripe down the center. His green eyes were almost transparent. He wore a green plaid shirt and black skinny jeans. I couldn't stop looking at his eyes. I couldn't stop looking at him.

"Who are you?" he looked pissed.

I couldn't form a sentence and neither could Carly. I stuttered. "I-I-um"

"Can't be that hard. It is your name. You know, that thing that people call you? Everyone has one. I mean even Luke remembers his." he started talking and i snapped out of the trance he had me under. He was a dick.

The next thing I said came out before I could stop it. "Don't be an asshole"

His eyes widened and Carly's mouth dropped open "Riley!"

"What?" I snapped "I get this is his house or whatever but that doesn't give him the right to come in and be a dick."

"It's my house! I can be a dick or an asshole if I want!" He raised his voice

It was really disappointing to see a guy that hot act like this. I've met my share of assholes but he tops the list. I just met the guy, I don't even know his name and he's insulting us.

"Did your mom not teach you manners? Or does being a douche just come naturally?" I spat

"You know what-" he began

Ashton ran into the room with Luke right behind him. "What is going on in here?" Ashton asked. We all stayed silent. My glare not leaving the other boy's. It felt like his eyes were digging into my soul. He was stubborn, but nearly as stubborn as I could be. "Michael?" So this was Michael. The fourth member. With how nice the others were I actually expected him to be the same. Guess I was wrong.

He finally turned to Ashton. "Nice friends you've got here lads. You sure know how to pick em." He shoved past both him and Luke, slamming the door behind him.
