As his lips kissed my forehead,that thought went through my head,but I tried to fight it.I wanted him and I to be something more than just friends.It was like we were friends with benefits,but the benefits were making me happy.It felt right,because in that short moment in time where his hand was in mine and his lips were pressed to my forehead,I felt at peace.
We walked around for a while and then I looked at the time.
"Oh shit,"I muttered.I let go of Mike's hand and then looked at him.His face seemed to drop.
"I've gotta go."
He nodded and in one swift movement,he pulled me into his arms.I wrapped my arms around his torso and had my head on his chest.The midnight air quickly nipped at us both.I retracted my arms and then smiled.
"I'll see you later,"I mumbled,pulling my arms around my body.I was walking off,when I heard him call me name.
"Wait,here,"he mumbled,taking off his jacket.I shook my head.
"You're gonna be cold,"I told him.He smiled,handing it to me.
"But it means you have to give it back to me."
I put it on and then walked in the direction of the hotel.It was across from Bondi and we were staying on the fourth floor.I found it and walked up the stairs and into our room.Brogan and Troye were on the couch,just cuddling.I smiled.
"Hey,"I mumbled.Troye's head turned around to face me and he smiled.I felt a pang of sadness through my stomach as I made my way into the bedroom.I changed into some pyjamas and got into bed.I tried to sleep,but the TV kept me awake.I put on my headphone's and turned on some music.There were various songs that just buzzed through my head and soon enough I fell asleep.
I woke at nine in the morning and checked my phone,scrolling through twitter and instagram.I decided to text Michael and see what he was up to.He replied around ten o'clock.
Michael:Nothing much.Going down to the beach with the guys and some of our school friends.Wanna come?
I felt a pang of fear in my stomach.I was okay when I was meeting men,because their weak spots are obvious,but girls.No.
No,no,no,no,no,no.
They always seemed to have a severe disliking to every move and sound I made.I decided to cover it up with a chilled answer.
Me:No,I'm okay.I'm staying at the hotel,just chilling in my pyjamas.
I left my phone down and walked out to the common space.There was a note on the table and I recognized Brogan's sloppy handwriting.
Hey Iris,just gone down town shopping.You were asleep,so we didn't wanna wake you.We won't be back until after dinner,but if you need us,call us.Love,Broggie.
I crumpled the note in my hand and threw it in the bin,sitting down on the couch afterwards.
it's every move he makes,every breath he takes,oh it's different.so different.
