The One I Cant Have (a Michael Clifford Fanfic)

Chapter 19

"What are we going to do on July 4th?" I asked as we strolled down the beach.

"We don't celebrate that." Michael answered.

"Well we do now. Hawaiians celebrate the Fourth of July... Right?" I said.

"I'm pretty sure." he kicked at the water.

"Sooo.. What are we going to do?' I asked again.

"I'm pretty sure that there's a fair going on tonight. We should grab the guys and go." he offered.

"Or... We can go alone.." I said seductively. Michael gave me a cheeky smile, which I returned.

"It starts at 7." he informed me.

"That means we still have the afternoon." I said.

I pushed him to the sand and laid on top of him. I used my hair as a curtain as we kissed. He traced circles on my back as I ran my finger through his hair, slowly bringing them down to his neck. He gently bit my lip as his lips moved to my own neck. He had found my sweet spot and slowly sucked on it.

"What are you doing?" I heard in front of us. I lifted my head up, and Michael burried his face in his hands. A little girl sat pointing at us. Had she been watching?

"Um. We're..Uhh.." Michael stuttered.

"I'm sucking out the poison." I lied.

"What poison?" she asked. She was a cute little girl. Probably around 5 or 6. Her hair was in pigtails and she wore a flowery dress. She looked Asian, I recalled her face from the plane ride, which meant she wasn't a local.

"An evil witch poisoned my boyfriend, and I'm trying to suck it out." I laughed.

"Why would she do that?" the little girl scooted closer.

"You see, the evil witch also likes my boyfriend, but he doesn't love her back." I explained.

"So she tried to kill him?" the little girl was sitting right next to us now.

"Sadly." I shrugged. 

The little girl put her face a few inches from Michael's and looked down at him. She looked up at me, and ran her finger through my hair.

"You're pretty." she said. "I'm April." 

"Aww.. Thanks sweetie! You're so pretty, you should be a princess." I poked her nose.

"Can I try sucking out the poison?" she asked. 

Michael's eyes went wide and I had to hold back a laugh. 

"Ummm.." Michael began.

"Sure!" I said.

"CARTER!" he screamed.

"Be right back!" April said, running away.

"What? Why would you do that? I don't want that little girl sucking on me! Wait, no. That sounded wrong." Michael panicked.

I was laughing so hard. April came running back, holding a green bendy straw.

"My mommy just finished her fourth coconut sleepytime juice. She's sleeping now. I stole this from her cup." she said, showing me the straw.

"Coconut sleepytime juice?" Michael asked. I bounced on Michael's crotch to shut him up. Piña Colada. Michael picked up on it quickly and kept quiet.

April placed the straw on Michael's neck and started sucking into it.

"I'm getting some!" she screamed. Michael and I shared a glance. How could she be getting any 'poison' if there isn't any? "Is poison supposed to taste like coconuts?" she asked. Oh my gosh there was still some piña colada left in the straw.

"I think all the poison is gone." I said, trying to get her to stop sucking on the alcohol.

"Yay! I saved him!" she screamed.

"Good job, April!" I cheered, giving her a high-five.

"What's that on your neck?" She pointed to a reddish-purple mark on my neck. 

"Shit." Michael whispered.

"DID THE WITCH GET YOU TOO?!" she screamed.

"What is going on here?" An older lady walked up to us. "April, why are you talking to strangers?"

"They aren't strangers mommy!" she complained.

"What are their names?" she prodded.

"Ummm.." April hesitated.

"I'm Carter and this is Michael." I said. Michael waved from underneath me. April's mom had grasped what was going on, and pulled her daughter away.

"GET A ROOM." she yelled, tugging her daughter along.

"Bye pretty lady! Bye pretty lady's boyfriend!" she called.

"Bye April!" we laughed in unison.

"Pretty lady's boyfriend? Do I mean nothing to her?" he scoffed. 

"We better hurry this along before the evil witch poisons you!" I screamed, leaning over him once more. Michael smiled at me. We slightly kissed, but I pulled away. He looked at me confused. "Oh, and don't leave a mark this time." 

We resumed.
