Don't Stop | Michael Clifford

Chapter 10

As we started going downstairs, I started hearing voices. I was about to freak out when I realized it was the voice of Maddie, then a male voice belonging to Luke. "Are they still here?" I ask, as I look up at Michael. Michael shrugged.

"Apparently." We went down, and in to the room where I had the biggest couch, Maddie lying on one side, Luke on the other, while they were just talking.

"Michael, what are you doing here?" Luke asks, as he lies on his back. "Did you two spend the night together?"

"Eleanor got tired, so I took her to her bed, and she made me stay. Nothing happened," Michael explained, looking at me. He didn't say anything about what had actually happened, or the fact that he wanted something to happen. Thinking about it, I don't even think that Maddie knows what happened between Michael and me yesterday.

Though the looks on Maddie's face told me she had a feeling, but I was not actually in the mood for it. "El, do you have some eggs and bacon? I could really eat it." I nod, pointing to the kitchen.

"Yeah, go ahead." She jumps up, making her way to the kitchen, Luke standing up as he raises his eyebrows.

"Okay, what happened between the two of you last night?" Michael and I look at each other, and I see Michael's cheeks turning a bright red, before looking back at Luke. "Oh my god, something did."

"I decided on giving Michael a chance." I look at Michael who smiles, kissing my temple. "Just... let me tell Maddie when I want to okay? Or else she'll freak out." They both nod, they both knew Maddie would do that.

"Yeah, she has been talking about when you'll get together," Luke admits. He sighs, looking down at his feet. "Eleanor, I do have a question for you... How much does Maddie like her boyfriend?"

"Honestly, we haven't really talked much about him, but... she really likes him. Sorry Luke."

"It's okay," he sighs, going out to the kitchen. Michael and I stand and look after him, soon hearing as he and Maddie started talking.

"I feel so bad for him," I admit, Michael just nodding. We went out, where Maddie made the scrambled eggs, Luke making the bacon. "It smells really good." Maddie smiles. Afterwards we all sat down, Michael just watching me carefully. I hit his knee with mine under the table, making him slightly blush. A knock then went on the door, me going out to open.

"Oh, hi Ashton," I say as I saw the guy with the bandana. I hope it was his name, I suddenly became doubtful, but I tried not to show it.

"Hey, uhmm, is Luke and Michael here?" I nod, opening the door for him to go inside. "Hey guys," he spoke as he came in, and I soon hear him exclaim; "Bacon!?" I laugh as I walk in to see Ashton had taken my place, eating some bacon. I roll my eyes, deciding on just sitting on Michael's lap. I see as Maddie's eyes widened. 'Later,' I mouth, Michael wrapping his arms around me. He intertwines our fingers with our left hands, eating from his food with his right.

"So, why did you come here?" I ask Ashton, who looked like he had forgotten all about it.

"Oh, I wanted to remind you about the concert tonight, I mean, with you might having a little hangover."

"Mine isn't that bad," Michael says, Luke saying the same.

"Hey, why don't you girls join the concert tonight?"

"Yeah, then Eleanor can actually listen to your music," Maddie laughs, me rolling my eyes at her. I look back at Michael, who smiles up at me.

"Yeah, maybe that'll be a good thing." Michael leans his head against my shoulder, kissing it.
