Chapter 19 - Pudding

Mike's POV:
I just got too carried away while kissing El. She said it was fine but part of me doesn't want to believe her, she actually looked scared when I was pulling up her shirt. I don't exactly know why I lifted her shirt, but like I said, I got carried away.

I just need to apologize again. We are lying down on my bed, just talking. She was digging her head into my chest, I was inhaling her scent. She smells like strawberries and vanilla.

"I'm sorry, El." I whisper in her ear, she flinches a little from me talking after it being complete silence.

"Sorry, for what?" She whispers back.

"For almost... you know." I close my eyes and hug her, bringing her closer to me.

"You don't need to apologize again, you just needed to ask. But it's okay, Mike." She looks at me and cracks a smile, showing her pearly white teeth. I can't help but smile back.

"Thanks, El, it's just that you mean a lot to me." I try to bring her closer but it's impossible. I take a deep breath and relax next to her. We ended up falling asleep, she stayed here for the night.

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

I woke up with a start, but I didn't wake El up. She stirred from the noise but that's about it.
Should I wake her up? I checked my phone and it says 7:30am. My eyes widen and I gasp.

"El!" I whisper yell, her eyes flutter open and she smiles at me, I couldn't help but smile back at her beautiful face. Her eyes were just absolutely beautiful, they were unique. Her irises weren't quite brown, they were grayish but they looked light brown. They were perfect. She's perfect.

"What?" She whispers in her tired voice. I snapped back into reality from my daydream.

"Oh, it's almost time for school." She nods and stands up form the bed. We weren't even under the covers, the bed wasn't even messy. It just looked like someone sat on it. I shrugged it off and stood up. I stretched my arms and legs, I yawned in the process.

"I have to go home now, my dad must be worried." She puts on her coat and shoes.

"I texted him from your phone and said that you were staying the night by Max." I explain to her, she smiles and jumps into my arms. I spun her around and kissed her nose. She scrunched up her nose and smirked.

"You missed." She said. I smiled and tucked a strand of her brown hair behind her ear.

"I did?" I play it cool, I decided to tease her.

"You did, you need to go about and inch south from my nose." She giggled and took one of my curls in between her index finger.

"Yeah, I think I'll correct my mistake now." I leaned in and kissed her plump pink lips. It wasn't a long kiss but it was just enough to make my stomach do flips. We pulled away at the same time, she giggled and kissed my nose.

That was when I realized that I was still holding her. I quickly put her down so she can stand.

"Sorry." I mumbled.

"No need to be sorry, I felt more comfortable in your arms." She smiled. "But I need to go home anyway." She sighed and grabbed my hand.

"Why?" I ask.

"I need to go change my clothes so I can get ready for school." I nod and she kisses my cheek, she turns to leave after one last glance. With that, she left.

I went to my bathroom to take a shower. I stripped my clothes and walked under the warm water. I quickly washed my hair with my  shampoo and washed my body not long after. I didn't have much time to just relax, I was out of the shower 10 minutes after I got in.

I put on a black Johnny Cash T-shirt, dark blue jeans and my usual Nike shoes. I looked at the time on my phone and it was 7:45. I usually leave at this time so that's good, I quickly walked downstairs. My mom has eggos ready for me, I ate those and walked outside to my bike. El was outside the same time I was, she walked over to me and we rode to school.

"You smell good, Mike." El chuckles.

"Thanks, I took a shower." I say.

"Did you put on cologne too?" She asks.

"Yeah, how did you notice?" I ask her.

"You don't always smell like this."

"Thanks." I say sarcastically.

"I meant it as a good thing." I chuckle and continue to ride to school. We eventually got there and I put my bike in the wrack. She grabbed my hand and interlocked our fingers.

"Woop woop!" Someone yells from behind us.

I turn around and it's Dustin along with Lucas, Max, and Will. Wills hair was messed up again and was walking toward El. I assumed that he was going to ask her to fix his hair again.

"Hey, Dusty!" I yell to Dustin, he laughs, showing off his missing teeth. Lucas walks into our hug and it turns into a group hug. Max is just standing there all awkward.

"Yes, I'll fix your hair again, Will." El says to him. I was right. They walked off to somewhere while I was hanging out with the rest of my friends.

"Want to eat breakfast?!" Dustin yells to us, we all laugh and nod. We walk to the cafeteria and ate the school food. "Give me the pudding! I know you have some back there, old lady!" Dustin yells at the lunch lady. She gave him two and he was happy after that.

Will and El came here after she fixed his hair. They came and sat by us, El secretly ate some of Dustin's food and he didn't notice. The rest of the day was actually okay, it was a little fun. We were all together the whole day. Nothing could get us sad or mad, everyone was happy for some odd reason. Except for Dustin, he kept yelling at the lunch lady for saying that there was no more chocolate pudding. It was funny though.
