Chapter 23: Mar 21

Chapter 23: March 21

I was nearly late this morning again. I had turned my alarm off so I could sleep in yesterday. I didn't even bother with breakfast, I just got dressed, got my bag and ran out the door before I missed the bus. Thankfully, I made it before the bus left.

I ran into the office and got the folders, delivering them to the teachers. We all got handed a form for an all-house mass. Before I got a chance to read it, the bell rang. I had Business & Economics with Adele and Sheldon. It passed pretty quickly, Adele had to put up with me and Sheldon flirting with each other during class. We were meant to be continuing an assignment, but we went off track. I think Mr. Mattson thought we were going to kiss or something because were so close together and he ended up making Adele sit between us.

"I can't wait for our date tonight, Shel." I whispered.

"Me either, mi amor."

"Michaela, Sheldon, it's nice that you love each other, but if you could please finish your work."

"Sorry, sir. We'll get back on it."

Period 2 was Japanese with Sheldon, Kasey and Adele, we did stuff in our workbook while other people were doing a speaking test. Adele did hers, Kasey did hers, I did mine and Sheldon did his.

At recess I hung around the 'normal' gang. Well, we're anything but normal. We talked about a lot of weird stuff. Mainly Riverdale around Livia, but our conversations can get really deep sometimes. More so over text, and we end up texting until 3am. We just call ourselves the 'normal' gang. We like to think we're normal even when we're far from it.

Period 3 was English, we were completing questions and putting notes in for certain scenes, we were almost done with Act 3 scene 5, Sheldon was flirting with me again. Miss. Schumer interrupted him though.

"Sheldon, if you could please be quiet so Michaela can do her work, that'd be great, thanks."

"Miss, I am doing my work!"

"From the looks of things, you haven't even finished the second half of your notes. If you don't cut it out, I'll separate you."

"Sorry, Miss."

During Period 4, we were designing a cookie dough recipe, Livia and I actually did our work for once because we wanted to be able to make them. I came up with a chocolate and marshmallow dough mixed with drinking chocolate powder. When cooked, it would taste like hot chocolate. (Little to my knowledge, when I'd actually cook it, the marshmallows would dissolve.)

At lunch I was again with Livia, Sheldon, Adele and Kasey.

"What have you guys got next?" I asked.

"Obviously, I've got P.E with you and Kasey." Said Adele.

"I've got Art." Said Livia.

"I don't even know what I have, I haven't checked yet." Said Sheldon.

Period 5, I had P.E. I gave the teacher the doctor's note saying I couldn't do sport. I sat on the side, doing some sketches, I don't know exactly what of, I was just drawing. Funnily enough, my class were doing the beep test. Kasey couldn't do it either because of medical reasons, so we were cheering for Adele.

After school, Sheldon came home with me, he had brought a change of clothes and pyjamas. I'm so fucking excited for this! We got changed and hung around in the lounge-room until about 4:45pm. The movie started at 5pm, so Mum drove us there then went home, telling me to text her when we needed to be picked up.

--

About 2 1/2 hours later, Mum picked us up and we went home to have dinner. I set up an air mattress in my bedroom for Sheldon. I closed my door and we sat on my bed.

"Shall we finish what we started yesterday?" I whispered, smirking.

"Of course, we have nothing to stop us now." He said. Instantly I was pushed back as he kissed me. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer. He started using his tongue, I wasn't complaining. I gladly returned the favour, becoming ever more close to him. It continued for a few minutes before we had to pull apart to breathe.

Sheldon gave me this look, like he was suggesting something. I quickly shook my head. I'm not ready for that, Shel. Not yet. He smiled at me and nodded. I grabbed his face and continued kissing him. His hands slipped under my shirt, cold against my skin. My breath hitched a little but I didn't stop. Until I had to. I heard footsteps coming towards my door. "Wait." I whispered. Mum knocked and opened my door, completely oblivious to the distance between me and Sheldon.

"Please don't stay up too late, you both have school in the morning."

"I know."

"Love you."

"Love you too, Mum. I'll see you in the morning."

"Don't do anything I wouldn't." She left and closed my door. I felt myself turn a deep shade of pink and Sheldon had done the same.

"Okay, we're good- " I barely finished my sentence when Sheldon took hold of my face, kissing me more. "Shel..." I gasped. He moved down to my neck, placing light kisses and sucking on random spots. Shivers ran down my spine. I bit my lip.

"How are you so good at this?" I moaned. He stopped suddenly. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"I love you." He sighed, panting.

"I love you too."

"Ven acá." Come here. He said quickly before kissing me again. He pulled me onto his lap. I kissed him harder. I heard him mutter in both English and Spanish whenever our lips pulled apart.

"Ah, shit. Te amo. Increíble. Caliente." As much as I was enjoying myself and loved listening to him, I stopped.

"It's getting late, we should probably go to sleep." I said, out of breath.

"Yeah, probably."

"You can use my bathroom if you want so you can get changed."

"Cool. I'll be right back." I quickly got changed while my boyfriend was in the bathroom. I put my computer and phone on charge. Sheldon came back and sat on my bed.

"I like it when you speak Spanish... It's calming for me..."

"Well then." We laid down, Sheldon grabbed my hand, pulling it to his chest. I twirled my fingers through his hair with my other hand. "Te amo, te adoro, te necesito. Te amo más que nada en el mundo. Me haces feliz. Pienso en ti siempre." He smiled.

"I'm lost, please translate." I paused and giggled.

"Alright, alright. I love you, I adore you, I need you. I love you more than anything in the world. You make me happy. I always think of you."

"You're amazing, Sheldon. I can't believe I have someone like you." I gave him a quick kiss before nuzzling into him, falling asleep within minutes. The air-mattress never got used, but I was going to leave it out for Livia tomorrow night anyway.

I love him. I hope he never leaves me.
