Strong Words and Vodka

Ch.4

It was an hour before I heard the door open. I wasn't exactly timing them, okay yeah I was, but dammit they are never on time. I heard a muffled Luke say something followed by nearing laughter. I got up and went into mine and Eryka's room that we never use and sat on the couch. Everybody always slept in the same room so I would usually wake up being suffocated by Calum and being kicked by Luke.

I just kind of laughed to myself remembering the time Luke rolled over and kicked me in the head. That boy never stopped apologizing.

I walked over and plugged my phone into the speakers and went to my favorite playlist. Walking back to the couch I almost trip on one of the boys underwear.

"Fuck you, you dumbass fucks." I mumble to myself.

I grab the remote for the speakers and sit back down. I got completely lost in the music that I didn't hear Michael walk into the room.

"We're back kitt- uh y-yeah, we're back Michaela." Michael stutter-rushed out his words. I just smile up at him from the couch like I didn't hear him almost slip up and call me his kitten.

My confident side decides to show up, "Oh, hey babe. Didn't here you walk in." His cheeks reddening slightly, he shifts his feet while giving me a breathy little laugh, "Oh yeah, ash told me to come find you to see what you where doing." He says sitting down closely to me. I lightly giggled "Well, you found me." He just smiled, not his smirk but his real smile.

I scanned him up and down tucking my bottom lip I between my teeth. For fuck sake, I just want to jump on top of him and kiss the shit out of him.

"Michaela?" He asked looking at me funny, snapping me out of my momentary trance. "What?" I cocked one eyebrow. Before he could say anything Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day came on. I jump up and belt out the lyrics.

"I walk a lonely road the only one that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes but it's home to me and I walk alone!"

Michael is leaning forward on the couch watching me dance around like I belong in the fucking looney bin. He is in total hysterics but I can tell he is trying to stifle his laughter.

"My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating. Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me. Till then I walk alone!"

Me and Michael belt out the final lyrics together. I plop down on the bed out of breath from doing probably the only exercise I will ever do in my life. I closed my eyes still catching my breath I ask mike "How the hell do you guys do that at you shows? And play multiple songs!" Michael gets up and walks over to me, "Honestly I have no clue. I guess we just get used to it. I don't know." He snickered laying down beside me. I look over at him, he had his arms behind his head and he was looking up at the ceiling.

He was looking sexy as hell, I couldn't help myself. I scoot over and lay my head on his shoulder and put my hand on his chest. I could feel his heart beat get rapid. I just smirked to myself. I then tangled my legs into his.

"Damn, I wonder where this confident streak has come from?" I thought to myself. Mikey takes his right arm and wraps it around me and puts his left hand on mine. I intertwine our fingers. I look up and see Michael with the biggest grin on his face. I softly laugh putting my head back down.

"Uh, do you wanna play a few video games while recording them live with me a little later?" Michael asks out of the blue. Leaning up on my elbow I look over to him, " Yeah sure why not. But one condition." Michael smirks, "Depends on the condition." I roll my eyes, "The condition is we have to have a few beers while playing and I get to choose the first game." Michael sits up laughing "No wonder we are best friends."
