~Ella POV~
I sat, and I waited. Waited for a boy. But he wasn't just any normal guy, he was Michael. I didn't normally wait for guys, but Michael, he was special... I don't even know why, as soon as I met him, I felt something. And that was something I hadn't done in ages. Things just don't normally go my way.
I quickly checked the time on my phone, and saw an unread message. It read,
Michael: Sorry, I can't make it today, we had to make an emergency visit to the hospital, I hope you can forgive me, I'll do anything to make it up to you. Love, Michael xx
"Typical" I sighed under my breath. Please don't say he's going to be another one of those guys, always letting me down last minute. I've had enough of those.
Me: Don't worry Michael, its not your fault! Can we meet up tomorrow then? Same place, same time? You know, just to catch up on things... Love, Ella xx
I locked my phone and ordered a take-out coffee, I slipped on my jacket and beanie and set off for home. The pumpkin latte was fitting right in with the autumn setting. And it was only a couple more streets now until I reached home.
When I got home I was greeted by Carlile, the family siberian husky dog. We got him about three Christmas' ago, and he's still very happy to see me everytime I walk through that door. I looked down at him and told him, "Why can't most people be like you? The world would be a much happier place."
I went upstairs to my bedroom and Carlile followed. I lay on my bed and snuggled up to Carlile. I checked to see if Michael had replied to my message, and he had.
Michael: Well, why don't you come down to my house and stay the night, we can spend all night eating pizza, jamming to music and watching movies, please? Michael xx
I quickly sent a text back,
Me: Michael! I haven't even met you yet, we only ever talk over the internet, plus I don't even know where you live... BUT tell me your address and I'll be down asap... This should be fun :) Ella xx
Of course I knew the dangers of meeting people online, I mean I've skyped Michael plenty of times, so I know he's a real guy and such. But I always have my doubts.
Michael replied not long after with his address and what time would be most suitable. I packed my bag, went for a shower, scrolled down social media sites for a while and before I knew it, it was time to leave.
I said goodbye to Carlile and my parents. I got wrapped up in my jacket,scarf and my beanie. I got outside and it was cold but I like it. The wind sent my brunette hair in many directions... 'oh perfect' I thought. 'Michael's gonna love this'.
I walked down a dark and dingy alley way. It wasn't the nicest looking... But if I got to meet Michael, I got to meet Michael. And I would do anything to meet someone who makes me happy.
When I got to the house, I walked up the path and rang the bell. Shortly afterwards a tall boy with black hair, a black top and black ripped jeans, answered the door. Even though I've skyped him almost everyday since we started talking, I never expected him to look like this. In real life he just looks so angelic... I mean really good. His eyebrow piercing and ear piercings and his little blue streak in his fringe. He actually looked perfect. Who says there's no such thing as perfect, huh.
"Uhh... Hey Ella, do you want to come in? Of course you want to come in, why else would you be here?" He kept stumbling on his words but he lightly laughed through it.
I gave him a smile and walked into his home. He took me to his bedroom so I could drop off my things.
"So uhh... What do you want to do? I've got videogames, we can watch tv or we can walk my dog, Federer?? Do you fancy any of those or are they all lame?" Michael suggested.
"Nahh, don't worry they all sound cool to me." I said with a warm smile.
"Well why don't we walk Federer and then come back and play videogames, watch movies and chill, ehh? Sound good?" Michael asked me, he got closer and said, "I've known you for so long and we haven't even hugged yet!" He grabbed my waist and held me in a warm embrace, with my arms over his shoulders and his head nuzzled in the crooks of my neck, it was perfect. He was perfect.
Michael put Federer on the lead and put on a black beanie and some black boots. He walked out and locked the door behind him. We walked down into a local forest. It quickly became the type of cold where you would breathe and a puff of steam would form in mid-air. It was also dark, but no too dark. It was light enough for me to see where I was going and what I was doing. Michael pulled out a pack from his pocket and offered me one, I said no, I told him that I was a good girl and laughed. He took one out of the pack and lit up a cigarette.
"I didn't know that you smoked." I explained. "And to be honest, I find it pretty attractive."
"Are you hinting at something?" Michael asked, puffing out another mouth-full of smoke.
"And what if I was?" I questioned Michael. I smirked as I said this, getting the impression that I was hinting even more.
Michael bent down, put the dog leash on the floor and put a rock on top so Federer couldn't run away. Michael then took his last puff and stubbed out his cigarette. He pinned me up against a tree trunk, leaning his hands on the bark above my shoulders and his face so close to mine, his hot breath tickling my lips. And he told me, "If you're hinting for something just say it loud and clear... And I'll do it. No matter what it is, I promise I'll do anything for you".
"Well kiss me then you idiot." I said. Michael's eyes lit up and he held my cheeks and brought me even closer to him. He closed his eyes and brought his lips to mine, his warm lips still tasted like cigarette and I loved it. Our kiss was pretty heated, our lips were in sync. He lightly pushed his tongue through my lips, I accepted. When he pulled away from the kiss he laughed and said, "You're way out of my league, I'm like a six and you're a definite ten.... I mean how did we end up talking?"
I replied with, "You said you liked my Cobain shirt, don't you remember?" I giggled, I was still blushing from the kiss.
Michael nudged me and explained how forgetful he is. He picked up the rock and held onto Federers leash, he also held my hand and we cheerfully chatted all way back to his place.
When we got there Michael brought us out some snacks and drinks, "I was prepared" he laughed. "So, do you want to go and get changed into some pyjamas? Or would you like to borrow one of my sweaters and sweatpants?" He asked with a little grin on his face.
"Hmm, the sweater and sweatshirt option sounds nice. And perfect for snuggling in this cold weather." I winked at him and said this in a playful voice.I started to walk upstairs to look for some.
He shouted up, " If you look in my wardrobe for a sweater and then the pants would be in the drawers, just look around and you'll find them".
I went into his wardrobe and found a black blink-182 sweater and I searched the drawers and found a pair of sweatpants. I waited until Michael came back upstairs with snacks, drinks and the movies. When he got up, he lifted up a corner of his duvet and told me to hop in. I climbed in and he followed not long after. He held up 'This Is The End'.
"This is one of my favourite movies" Michael explained. I told him that it was also one of my favourites too. He put it in the DVD player and we cuddled up, he reminded me very much like a kitten, warm and snuggly. He kept commenting on the movie and let out light giggles at the innuendos and actual jokes. We both were snacking on popcorn and sipping at soda. I could tell that Michael was getting sleepy, he grabbed me close. He lay on his side and brought my head to his chest, I could hear his heart beating and soon his breathing in a steady rhythm, now I knew he was asleep. I slowly started falling asleep, and then all at once.
