Be Mine Tonight - Michael Clifford

Chapter 7 - Ouch

"You had a normal conversation with Michael?" Carly said with disbelief. "You're saying you sat and talked to him, he didn't insult you, and he hugged you?"

I looked down at my almost empty Starbucks cup. "yep"

"The worst part is you aren't even going to tell me what you talked about!"

I couldn't tell her. I told Michael he could trust me. I wanted to have more conversations with him. I wanted to know more about him. I wanted to know why he pushed everyone away. He brought out this curiosity in me. I had never met anyone like him before. "I can't"

"Do you know how hard it is to keep the fact that Luke and I are basically dating a secret?" she said "Actually, I can't believe they've been here for a month and the fam hasn't figured out they're here yet"

"Has Luke told you why they're here?" I was beginning to think it has something to do with Michael. He seemed really messed up.

"He said it was really personal or private or something." she rolled her eyes

My phone buzzed with a text from Adam.

Where r u babe?

"Shit" I said "I forgot Adam wanted me to come over. I've gotta go. I'll see you at school tomorrow!"

I practically ran to my car and sped to Adams. He was going to be so mad at me. I pulled into his driveway and ran to the door. It swung open before I could ring the doorbell.

"Where have you been?" he spat

"I'm sorry I-" i was cut off by a rough kiss. He pulled at my hair. His parents were out of town so I knew what he wanted to do.

"Don't you ever be late again" he warned me. I nodded. It sent shivers down my spine and not the good kind. I had to please him. He treated me so well and we had fun together. I wasn't comfortable but I owed this to him.

I kissed down his neck and sucked on his sweet spot. He let out a low groan and pulled at my hair more. We went to his bedroom and he threw me down on the bed. His hands were up my shirt cupping my breasts. "I want you. Right here. Right now." he said roughly.

I was breathing hard but I managed to speak "Im...not...ready"

He looked at me for a second with fury in his deep blue eyes. "DAMMIT RILEY" he stood up and I followed

"Please don't be mad. I'll be ready soon I just-"

"What the fuck is it going to take? We like each other. We have a good time. What the fuck more do you want?"

"I-I don't know" I whispered

"FIGURE IT OUT" he yelled

"STOP YELLING AT ME"

He looked at me for a moment and the next thing I knew something hard hit my face and I was on the floor. He hit me. He actually hit me. He punched me and I was on his bedroom floor. I looked through my hands and up at him. He was staring at his hand like he had no idea what he just did.

"I-I Riley baby. I'm so sorry" he kneeled down beside me and I crawled away

"Get away from me!" He followed and tried to put a hand on my arm. "Don't touch me!" I was sobbing into my hands "Don't you ever touch me again!"

He pulled me into his arms and rocked me as I cried "No baby. I'm so sorry. I don't know why I did that. Please don't leave me. I love you. I'm so so sorry."
