{11} Tell me what's wrong

Michael

Dakota and I are already at Nate's and Luke pulls me aside as Kota sits talking to Nate "Why the fuck did you bring Dakota? She's too good to do this kind of stuff Mike, you're fucking corrupting her!" He whisper yells at me and I roll my eyes

"Relax man, I told her we were gonna get high and she said she wanted to come and wasn't taking no as an answer, I had this discussion with her" I cross my arms and Luke groans "You're fuckin whipped dude" I furrow my eyebrows at his statement "What?"

"Mike, it's really obvious you're into her"

"I mean, yeah she's hot and-"

"No, not just 'oh yeah Dakota is hot as fuck' dude, I see right through that shit, you like her. I have never seen you act like this with any other bitch" Luke crosses his arms this time and I look away from him "Don't call her a bitch..." I mumble "Hm? Spit it out Mikey"

I avoid his statement "What do you mean you've never seen me act like this? How am I acting? I don't understand." I question him and he laughs "Dude, you hold her hand, you were very close and cuddly during the movie on Friday, you ran off with her Friday night and ended up staying at her place, you were there last night, and I'm sure you've kissed, maybe even fucked" he shrugs and I let out a huff "I haven't fucked her"

"Okay, but you didn't deny anything else. You're fucking attached to this chick and I know you jokingly called dibs to maybe get a quick fuck or something, but obviously you've changed your mind and feelings are developing" he smirks at me and I bite my lip "I don't know what you're talking about, I've only known her for a week"

"Exactly, that's another reason why it's so noticeable" he states "What's noticeable?" Dakota asks as she comes over to us and Luke looks at me "Nothing babe" I mumble and she nods "okay...hi Luke" she smiles and he smiles back "Hey love" he opens his arms and she giggles and hugs him

Luke smirks at me as they hug and my jaw clenches 'You are whipped' he mouthes to me and I shake my head "Come on Kota, let me get you a drink." She pulls away from the hug "Okay" we walk to the kitchen and she interlaces our hands "are you all good?" She looks up at me and I shrug "I dunno" I mumble and she stops walking "Michael" I drop her hand and grab a beer for myself and turn around to look at her leaning against the counter "what?"

"Tell me what's wrong" she mumbles with a pout I set my beer on the counter and walk over to her. I wrap my arms around her and bury my face in her neck and I feel her cling back onto me "Are you okay? We can leave...Do you not feel good?" She whispers in my ear and I stay silent. I do feel sick to my stomach but that's just because I don't know what I feel, Luke just had to point shit out. I don't wanna leave because she wanted to come, but I don't wanna stay because I just want to be with her alone. Fuck my life.

"Mikey talk to me" she rubs my back and distracts me from my thoughts "I just..." I sigh "Do you want to go home?" She asks me "I won't be upset if that's what's up"

I bite my lip and she looks at me "We can leave baby, it's okay" she says quietly and I nod "Come on" she leads me out and the guys see us walking towards the door hand in hand "Leaving already? You just got here?" Nate questions us and Dakota speaks for me "Maybe another time Nate, I'm not feeling too well" she lies perfectly

"Oh, I'm sorry Kota, hope you feel better soon, you coming back later Mike?" He asks me and I swallow "Uh, no not...not today mate, I'm just not really feeling it" Luke stares me down and Nate is oblivious to everything "Oh..? Um okay dude, see ya tomorrow then"

I nod and we leave, the car ride to my house is silent and Dakota holds my hand in her lap the whole drive.

...

As we walk into my house together my Mum stops me "Your father and I are leaving for a business trip in an hour" she looks at Dakota hiding behind me and says nothing "How long?" I ask my Mum as she scurries around the living room looking for her purse "Three weeks" I raise my eyebrows "Oh, okay" I mumble

"You know how to take care of yourself Michael, it's just three weeks!" my Mum snaps and I bite my lip "I know, it's just all of a sudden, I mean whatever, I don't fucking care where you go....it's not like I like having you both here anyway." I mumble the last part to myself

"Watch your mouth!" She warns and I roll my eyes "Whatever, see you in 3 weeks" I grumble as I lead Dakota downstairs to my room "...unfortunately" I say to myself

"I'm sorry about that" I mumble to Dakota as I close the door behind us "it's okay" she says and sits at my couch and I sit beside her "now tell me what's wrong" she takes her shoes off and curls up on the couch to face me. I bite my lip and look down. I might as well just say it, there's really no point in keeping this in. Fuck it.

"So...well...Luke said that um" I bite my lip and I feel my heartbeat starting to pound in my chest. My hands suddenly feel extremely sweating and and I'm at a loss of words. "Take your time Mikey." She mumbles to me and I take a deep breath

"Okay, so obviously um I think you're fucking awesome and like you're my best friend and um we've really gotten really really close in the past week...which is like crazy" she nods "Yeah..?

"And well um fuck, um we've uh kissed and um ya know done stuff that couples typically do and like I don't know, I just... I-I like you? And Luke said it was pretty fucking obvious and I don't want things to already be awkward with us because like you already know a shit ton about me and I know a shit ton about you and I don't wanna ruin what we've got because I-"

I'm cut off by her lips against mine and she pulls away after a few minutes "You're so cute when you're flustered" she mumbles and looks at me, red-faced and embarrassed by my sudden confession. "I like you too Michael" she says shyly and I let out a big sigh "oh thank fucking god, oh fuck yes" I brush the hair from my face and an invisible weight lifts from my shoulders. She giggles "come here doll face" I laugh and pull her into my lap and cup her face in my hands "Why are you so perfect?" I smile widely and her hands hold onto my wrists "gimme a kiss funky punk" she laughs and I pull her face towards mine.

"I'm so glad you said something" She mumbles once we pull apart "I was too scared to and I thought it might be too soon"

I shrug "I kinda knew but Luke keeps pointing out that it's obvious and was basically telling me not to be a pussy so" she laughs.

"Another plus to all this is the fact that my parents are gone for 3 weeks so we can chill here a lot more...alone." I smirk
