My reason to smile|M.C

Fancy dinner

I woke up, and Michael was gone. Was it a dream that he was here? Swinging my legs off the bed, I got up and wandered downstairs. I could hear a noise coming from the kitchen so I reached into the porch and grabbed a tennis racket. Carefully and quietly I tiptoed toward the kitchen. The door was closed so I had to gently push it to get it to open. Luckily for me the doors don't creek in this house. I peeked round the corner but I couldn't see anyone so I carefully walked into the kitchen with the racket held up ready to attack. There was no one in here? Where was all the noise coming from then? I stood staring at the kettle contemplating whether I should make myself tea or not. I decided against it and turned around. There was a person stood in front of me and I screamed and hit them. Then I ran as fast as I could.
"Fuck, Maddie why did you hit me?"
Oh. It was Michael. Whoopsie daisies. I slowed down and went back into the kitchen attempting to catch my breath and slow my heart rate down.Michael was holding his face, groaning in pain.
"I am so sorry Mikey, I thought you were a robber or something, I thought you had gone I am so so so sorry."
I wrapped my arms around him, kissing his face and his hands.
"You're such a dick," He said looking at me smiling," is my face red or bruised?"
I giggled,"no i didn't hit you that hard."
"It felt like it had some power behind it, I need to go soon babe I have to go for a job interview, I'm taking you out tonight wear something fancy okay?"
I smiled," yes Michael I will , what job are you going to an interview for?"
"Well it's not really a job, you know Luke and Calum and Ashton?" I nodded," well we are going to an audition at this place to see if we can be a support act for a bigger band."
Michael was in a band? How come he never told me this?
"How come you never told me?"
"You never asked." He shrugged.
I wasn't in the mood to argue so I just smiled and nodded at him.
"Good luck, you'll do great, you'll have to sing for me one day." I said, and winked at him.
"I don't know, it's top class music probably too good for your ears." He said playfully.
"Well we will have to see."

Michael had left about ten minutes ago for his audition so I decided I would have a tidy up and maybe nip into town for a nice dress. I needed to go anyway to ask if I could go part time at the cafe. I got the next train to town and went straight to the cafe. Elena was there so I asked her if she could talk to our manager for me and get him to give me a ring when he was next in. She said yes, obviously. Next, I went to topshop. We didn't have many shops that sold fancy clothes so I had to go here and it took me forever to find a nice dress. I needed up buying a strapless red dress which I personally think is beautiful. (There's a brief photo of it at the top).
I got in and remembered Michael didn't tell me what time he would pick me up so I texted him.
*heyyy what time are you picking me up tonight? X*
I didn't text Michael that much so I didn't know if he sent kisses but I thought it was a cute gesture so I did it.
*around 7 but I might be late, have you got a nice dress ;) x*
Wow, he sent a winky face as well, he must be in a good mood.
*yes it's a beautiful dress, did your audition go well?:)x*
*i'll tell you later gorgeous ;)x*
As it was 5:30 I decided I would start to get ready. I painted my nails a nice peach colour and I curled my long brown hair. Then I put some winged eyeliner on and mascara, and added some gold shimmery eyeshadow to make my green eyes stand out. I put a deep red lipstick on and then put my dress on. I was so excited and I wanted to know how Michael had done at the audition. The doorbell rang and I ran downstairs and slipped on my silver heels before opening the door.
"Oh, oh my god." Michael was stood there his mouth wide open, his eyes trailing up and down my body.
I started to feel self conscious, just standing there so I moved forward and gave him an awkward hug. He was wearing a simple black suit and his red hair surprisingly went quite well with it.
"You look rather handsome." I said smiling at him.
"And you look absolutely beautiful Maddie, are you ready?"
I nodded, linking my arm with his. We walked to Michael's car in silence, and when we got to the car Michael opened my door for me.
"Such a gentleman." He smirked at me, and winked before shutting the door and jogging round to his side.
"Babe, are you ready for the best night of your life?" He asked placing his hand on top of my thigh. I smiled and put my hand on top of his as he drove into the city. We parked up outside a very fancy looking restaurant, and I gave Michael a quizzical look.
"This is really expensive I was looking at the menu theo their day, we don't have to go here we could get a pizza or something?" I asked, not wanting Michael to spend all his money here.
"Nope we are definitely going here, I need to tell you my amazing news!"
He grabbed my hand and interlocked our fingers practically dragging me into the restaurant. Michael had reserved us a table and we were seated immediately and brought a glass of champagne.
" So Maddie, the audition went really great and I'm going on tour soon." Michael smiled.
He looked so happy and it broke my heart to think that I wouldn't be able to see him for a long period of time. I was so proud of him even though I had only known him for a few months, he wasn't even my boyfriend so I couldn't go getting upset about it.
"I am so proud of you, I will definitely have to come and see you play soon." I smiled trying my best not to look sad that he was going.
"You look upset Madds what wrong? I thought you would be happy?" His face had instantly changed.
I was being so selfish, Michael looked like he was upset as well.
"I'm being selfish Mikey, I don't want you to go because," I tried my best to hold the tears that were threatening to fall," because you're my only real friend here and I'm going to miss you so so much, I'm sorry that I'm being a drama queen." I said, wiping my tears away.
"Well, if you'd let me have finish you would find out the best part," Michael grabbed my hand," I'm allowed to bring someone with me for a couple of months, and I chose you, so I'm sorry but you're going to be stuck with me." He said, smiling.
I didn't say anything I just burst out crying. Michael cared for me so much it was unreal, I really didn't deserve a friend like him. He got up and pulled his chair so that it was next to mine, then her wrapped his arm around me and pulled me into his side.
"We leave for LA in a month, it's for one direction." He said into my hair.
I really couldn't wait.
"Thankyou so much." I gushed, leaning up to kiss him.
Our lips connected and I smiled into the kiss. We were interrupted by someone who cleared their throat. How rude.
"Terribly sorry for the interruption, but your meals are here." It was the waiter and she had a large trolley full of wonderful foods like lobster and spaghetti ( trying to think of posh foods and failing sorry).
I just smiled and thanked her.
"How fucking rude." Michael said in my ear when she had gone.
I snickered looking at the large amount of food in front of me. Michael had ordered me spaghetti and he had the lobster, which both looked divine.
"This looks so good."
"Mine looks like my fucking hair." Michael said staring disgusted at his bright red lobster.
"You don't eat the shell, you eat the meat, inside the shell just try it." I said, taking a large mouthful of spaghetti. It was amazing.
Once we had finished our meals, after me and Michael ended up swapping, we went for a walk down by the opera house. Sydney was so beautiful, it was such a shame I hadn't really looked around properly yet. We stopped in front of the harbour bridge, the cool breeze making it the perfect temperature. I looked at Michael who was watching the water and the boats.
"Hey, Maddie can I ask you something?" He looked over at me, no expression on his face.
I felt slightly worried so I slowly nodded.
"Do you want to uh well I just think that we've known each other for a bit of time now and I really like you, like I insanely like you. Today when I was at the audition I couldn't stop thinking about you. If you were there I know you would have kissed my knuckles to calm me down and give me loads of kisses after it. I just I really like you so uh do you want to be my uh girlfriend?"
