Bus Stop ~ mgc

just this one

Michael's Pov

I sat on the barstool and stared at the door. The cigarette in my hand was gone and I barely smoked it. I don't know how I get myself into this shit, I really don't. I didn't except her to yell, cuss, or even get mad. Maybe that explains a lot in my life. I am not gonna sit here and say I don't put stereotypes on people but I do, I see people how I see them it's how I've always been.

I knew she wasn't coming back and I knew she wasn't gonna call or text me anytime soon. I sighed and put my cigarette out in the ashtray on my coffee table. I closed my eyes and thought
'Let's try it again'

I don't know why I'm doing this but I am.

I leaned forward and put my elbows to my knees and put my hands together, I closed my eyes and thought of what I should even say.

"So, here I am again talking to whoever decides they want to listen. Tell me how to do it right this time, please, God, just please"

I ran my hand through my hair and decided I should call and at least make sure she's at home. I got up and grabbed my phone of the counter and clicked her name.

ring....ring....ring....

She answered

"Yes, Michael" she sounded sleepy
"Are you at home?"
"Yes! And I was asleep on my very comfortable couch until you called to ask the obvious!"
"I'm sorry I was just making sure you were-"
"Yeah, thank you but maybe you should check on yourself and not me"
She hung up and I looked at my phone absolutely bewildered. Nobody has ever thrown me an attitude without it having a consequence. I rubbed my eyes as I plopped on my own couch and ended up falling asleep.

My alarm blared from my phone and I grabbed it and shut it off. I literally forced myself to get ready and eat something. Spaghetti is getting old but that's all I had but like it's gone now. I smoked a cigarette in the house and one on the way to the bus stop. She was there before me and of course I kept my distance from her but I did look at her. She had a white skirt and a black long sleeved cross over top tucked into it with knee high black heels. Her hair was in a bun directly above her head. Her earrings were tiny diamonds and her lips glossed as usual. Her perfume was different, like a strawberry cake.

She's so pretty.

She didn't pay me any attention the whole time. I guess she really was mad. I texted her instead of talking

start: are you mad at me now?

She turned her head towards me and we locked eyes. That look was gonna kill me.

"Are you still a huge ass?" She said out loud
"No, not to you at least"
"Then no I'm not. Be nice and we are cool"
She turned back to her phone and I joined the spot beside her standing.
"That's it? That's just it?"
"Yeah, yeah it is"
"Are you serious? I admit my feelings to you-"
She didn't even look up but she interrupted me.
"I admitted my feelings too if you don't recall"
"Then why is that it? Why is there nothing else?"
She sighed loudly and finally looked at me.
"You just want the fun stuff, the kissing and-"
"Yeah I do! Because I fucking like how you make me feel! Is that a crime?"
Her cheeks flushed red and I swore she almost smiled but she stopped herself.
"No, it's not but does kissing seem appropriate right now?"
"Anytime seems perfect actually"
"Well it's not. Maybe i don't know apologize for yesterday and not blame your feelings on me and we can sort that out. Ever thought of a date or maybe even like a proper hang out with me?"
I looked at her like she was crazy.
I'll do that but I just wanted to kiss her.
"Shut up, Navi. Seriously shut up"
She huffed, moving a bit from me.
"Now, you get to tell me to shut up?"
I huffed and turned towards her and she and I were face to face. I smirked at how cute she was angry at me.
"No, I'm sorry honey I take it back"
Her cheeks flushed but she kept her composure. I put my hand up and put it right behind the back of her neck.
"Just 'cause you said sorry-"
I interrupted her as I scooted myself closer.
"I know, I think if I go one more minute without a kiss form you I'll lose my mind"
She whispered
"You already lost it"
I chuckled ghosting over her lips
"Told you"
I pressed a kiss to her hard and meaningful. Her hand came up to mine, holding my wrist. I pulled away, wiping my lips to rid the gloss. While I was doing that and she sat flustered and fixing herself up some older man stepped into view
