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

Chapter 19

"You really wanna go?" Michael asked as we walked back to the hotel after Misa de Gallo.

"Yes, I'm sure Mikey. I don't wanna wash my wound here."

He sighed, "Alright. I'll just pick a couple things here. Just... wait here outside." I then waited outside the hotel as he took out couple things. Then he went out and we took a ride together going to Lake Danao. Mama Nene told me about the place while eating dinner in Catayum. She told me that Michael went there already. And now, I wanna go as well.

Almost an hour later when we arrived. We then looked for a place to eat breakfast and then we went to the lake after breakfast. The sun was on the verge of rising when I ran and was about to take off my clothes, leaving me in my underwear.

"I can't wait for this-"

"Wait." Michael shouted, stopping me from taking my clothes off.

"What?"

"Just a moment." He said as he took my wounded hand and took off the bandage gently. Afterwards, he smiled and we both took off our clothes and ran to the lake. We both laughed and screamed to the cold water and started splashing each other for fun.

"You know, I brought soap, disinfectant and bandage with me. Your wound needs to be cleaned. The lake may have a lot of bacteria and I don't want that to be infected."

"Yes mom." I laughed.

"Yeah. Me. Mom." He rolled his eyes then dipped underwater for a few minutes.

"Yeah, don't play with me Mikey. You know it's still dark. I can't see much." I shouted when all of a sudden, I screamed in shock when Michael rose up from the water and is already inches near me. He then grabbed my waist, drawing me close to him. I giggled as I placed my arms in his neck and he grabbed my legs, wrapping them in his waist underwater.

"What can you say?" He smiled.

"About what?"

"About this."

"Uh... well, the water's cold." I said then we laughed, complaining how cold the water is, "How about you? What can you say about this?"

"How about a promise."

"What promise?"

He then looked at me in the eyes and whispered, "Promise me you won't hurt yourself Flo. Promise me you won't cut yourself." I then hesitated which he noticed, "I know it's a hard promise to fulfill. But just take baby steps. It'll work out in time."

I then sighed and smiled. It may be hard, but I owe it to Michael who took care of me at my lowest point. So I have to do it, "I promise I won't hurt and cut myself anymore. I'll take baby steps until I totally stop doing it."

"That's it." He whispered and smiled as he leaned my forehead against mine. I then closed my eyes, "By the way, I got you right there."

"What do you mean?"

"I finally made it."

"Made what?"

"A hickey."

"What?" I said as I leaned back from his forehead and looked at him.

He smirked, "On your neck. Near the collarbone."

I then splashed him with water, "How dare you. I'll look at it later."

He giggled, "It's my first time giving someone a hickey."

"It's my first time having one."

"Then we're even." We then laughed.

"I can seriously imagine Lex's reaction if he sees me with this."

"He won't stop teasing me, that's for sure." He said, causing me to giggle, "But good luck hiding that for days."

"I don't think I'll hide it. I may actually look good in it."

"Since you admit that it looks good in you, what's my price for giving it to you?"

I smiled as I quickly leaned and kissed him. He then gripped my ass and pulled me close to him. Afterwards, we let go.

"Cool reward." He said as I giggled, "Can't get enough of it."

"Guess I have to do it again." We giggled as we kissed again. 9 am came when we decided to get out of the lake and get dressed. Before we left though, he fixed my hand another bandage. I then told him how good the mark looks on my neck as I looked at it with my phone.

"There. Done." He said as he grinned, causing me to giggle, "What?"

"Nothing. You're just so cute."

"You deserve a cute me." I laughed at his words, "So, we should get going."
