Even though we were in Ashton's car, Michael's smell was prominent. He smelled really good. Like oranges, and newborn butterflies.
"Where do you want to go?" I asked.
I was a little nervous of what Ash would do when he finds out I borrowed his car to go on a date with one of his best mates...oops.
"Are you okay with Chinese?" He asked.
"Chinese is great." I replied, and we drove in uncomfortable silence.
"Are you okay with me playing green day?" He asked.
I chuckled lightly. "Am I ever not?"
Green day blasted for a few minutes until we pulled up at a shady Chinese place.
"I didn't know Calum owned a restaurant." Said Michael, and I laughed. Maybe I laughed a little to hard, but hey I was nervous.
"Sorry I'm completely uninteresting, and bad at conversations." I said, apologizing to Michael who was probably already regretting taking me. He looked at me like I was an idiot.
"Xena, if I thought you were uninteresting I never would have asked you on a date. I asked you on a date because I think you're the most interesting girl I've ever met. I mean, even your name, Xena. You're just intriguing.
I smiled. Usually my name got on my nerves because it was given to me by my doucheface biological parents. But when Michael says it, I don't even think about my parents. I can only focus on the way his lips slowly form the syllables.
"Thanks Michael, and for the record I think you're pretty intriguing too."
He smiled and held his hand out to me. I weaved my fingers through his, and we walked in together.
The restaurant was really dim inside. Dim enough to where my leg bumped into one of the tables by the front door.
"Oops." I said blushing bright red.
Michael instantly wrapped a protective arm around my waist.
"Are you okay babe?" He asked.
"I'm fine." I said nonchalantly.
One thought swirled through my mind. Michael clifford just called me babe, and I liked it. He left his hand on my waist as we walked to the small waiting area. I was all tingly everywhere, what was going on?
"Table for two please." He said politely to our waitress, a pretty Asian girl around our age.
"Over here." She said quietly before leading us to our table. I nuzzled my head into his chest as we walked and I swear I heard him purr just like a satisfied baby kitten. Awe.
We were at a small table that had one chair on each side.
"Thanks." I said to the waitress before she walked off. I sat down in my side of the table. Michael gave me the cutest look before moving his chair beside me.
"Why did you move beside me?" I asked laughing.
"Because you were too far away." He said pouting, and wrapping an arm around my shoulders.
"You're crazy," I said before adding "but I'm glad you're closer"
He smirked, and it was probably the most attractive smirk I've ever seen.
Luke doesn't like me anyway, I should just forget about him.
Michael makes me happy. Sitting here just talking about nothing makes me feel like Luke doesn't even exist.
