A Journey of Two Night Goers (A Fanfiction) (Journey Series)

Chapter 18

The Ben and Ben, a Filipino band, had a concert at the city stage nearby. The view was clear from the rooftop. We were silent while watching the concert. But Michael was eating his McDonald's.

"You want some?" He said, causing me to turn to him. He offered his fries to me but I shook my head and declined as I smiled weakly.

"Why didn't you eat along with me earlier?"

"I had to make sure you'll eat first." He said with his mouth full, "You're terribly hurt. By the way, is it better now? Do you feel fine?" He asked as he took my wounded hand and caressed it gently.

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Tell me if it hurts okay? We'll go back to the hotel immediately if it does."

"What about Misa de Gallo?"

"We'll just attend the Christmas Mass on 25th. I don't want you hurting in the middle of the Misa de Gallo."

"It's just a cut Mikey. Not a big deal."

"It's more than just a cut. There's a reason why you did it. And that reason hurts." He then continued eating. As he was finished, I started tearing up and tears rolled down my cheek as I looked at him.

He then looked at me, "Flo? Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

I smiled weakly and shook my head, "It's just..."

"What?"

"I wish I met you earlier. Like, when the pain is not yet worse." This time, I didn't stop crying, "It just... it hurts, and I've always hated cutting myself. I don't know why I do it but I just cut myself because it really hurts. Maybe... maybe if I met you quite early, maybe I won't be doing any of this, knowing that you have my back."

"I'm sorry if I didn't meet you at a much earlier time Flo."

"No." I shook my head, "Don't be sorry for something you can't control."

"It's okay Flo. I wish I can go back in time. I wish I met you earlier so that when it hurts, I'll be there in a heartbeat. I'll take care of you. I'll be someone you can lean on and a shoulder you can cry on. I would be everything that you need Flo, because I care for you, I really do. And even if I won't say it much, I would find a way to let you know that I really care for you. After all, you've always been the coolest woman I've met."

I was so touched by his words that I didn't hold back anymore. I quickly leaned towards him and kissed him. I couldn't say in words anymore how sweet he is to me despite me being quite a bitch to him. As I realized that it might be embarrassing, I then let go and bowed my head. In my surprise though, Michael's thumb wiped my tears in my cheeks then his hand went to the back of my neck, pulling me close to him as he leaned and kissed me.

The kiss was deep and warm as I kissed him back. It's like giving me an assurance that he'll always be around. Moments later, the kiss went deeper and became quite intense. It became intense to the point where I straddled him as he sat up and I started moving my hips against his hips, causing him to moan in our kiss. I then pushed him, laying down, only to break the kiss when I took off my jacket, leaving me in my tank top. I kissed him again as I felt his hands lifting the hem of my tank top and gripping my exposed waist. I continued moving my hips, already feeling his hard-on. He then rolled us over, with him hovering over me. We kissed again while I let my hands explore his toned body underneath his shirt, which he took it off seconds later.

"Woah." I mumbled, earning a smirk from him as he kissed me again. Sooner, his kiss in my lips became kisses on my neck. His finger started removing the straps of my tank top and he started kissing my collar bone.

"Uh, Mikey."

"Yeah?" He asked while sucking a part of my shoulder, causing me to moan softly.

"Mikey, no." I said as I pulled his face, thinking that he may not stop, "We can't do this."

"Why not?"

I then looked at the concert then back at him, "People can see us up here."

"Shit." He whispered, causing me to giggle, "Sorry." He then sat up as I sat as well.

"It's okay. We'll just do it at a right time and right place."

"Right." He said as he wore his shirt again. I wore my jacket as well. Afterwards, we both lied down.

"Comfort cuddle? Until Misa de Gallo?"

"Yes." I said as I cuddled to him and we slept, listening to the band's songs in their concert below.

PS: This is one of the songs from Ben and Ben. It's a song about love in Christmastime, one of the songs that inspired me to write this fanfic :)
