this doesn't just happen!

~Chapter 17~

I knocked on my bedroom door and waited for a reply. Everyone had gone home now, and it was just Calum, Ashton, Lexie, Michael and I. When I didn't get a reply I carefully opened the door slightly, enough to poke my head in. On my bed I saw Stella and Luke sleeping, him cuddling her from behind.

I closed the door again and walked out to the now absolutely trashed back yard. I walked into the kitchen and ripped a big plastic bag from the roll and started picking up the million cups and bottles out of the grass.

"Ridley come sit down, clean up tomorrow" I heard Lexie say from the little circle that they had made.

"I'm alright" I said back letting out a sigh. I couldn't belive Dad hit Stella, all because she lied for me, and said she didn't know where I was. This was my fault, It was my fault Dad hit her.

"Hey" Michael wrapped his arms around my waist and started kissing my neck. I sighed and flopped my hands to my side. "What's wrong?" he said lifting his head and making me turn in his arms.

"It's Stella" I sighed sucking back the tears.

"What happend?" he asked with caution.

"Dad hit her" I said finally looking up at him, tears brimming my eyes.

"Shit" He said wrapping his arms tighter around me. I rested my head on his chest and cuddled his waist. He pulled away and slid his hands into mine, pulling me to the big open space where people were dancing earlier.

"What are you doing?" I asked a smile growing on my face. He pulled me into him and smiled down at me.

"Dance with me" he said as he started to move his feet slightly. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he wrapped his hands around my waist.

"Awww isn't that cute" Lexie said drunkly, pointing her finger in our direction with a beer in her hand.

"Since when do you get drunk?" I yelled at her, laughing.

"Since when do you grind on guys?" she said with a smirk, Ashton and Calum whistled. I hung my mouth open and looked down, avoiding Michael's eyes. He laughed and lifted my head up to meet his.

"You were pretty impressive" he said between giggles. I half laughed half moaned as I felt my cheeks burn from blushing.

"Hey, where's Luke?" Ashton asked in his high perky voice.

"He's missing" Calum shot in.

"He's missing?" Ashton chimmed in again.

"He's in my room with Stella" I said laughing.

"Ooo, well excuse me" Calum said falling on the ground as soon as getting up from the bench seat he was sitting on. I stifled my laugh by putting my hand over my mouth and burying my head into Michael's chest as he laughed into the top of my head.

I looked up at him as he looked down at me.

"I love you, Ridley" he said quietly. My breath caught. He placed his hand under my jaw line and leant in, brushing my lips with his.

"I love you too" I mused against his lips. I pressed my lips to his, he responded and pulled me in tighter. Our lips desconnected and I rested my forehead on his.

"Ridley" I heard a small voice and we both turned our heads towards the door, our heads still resting on each others.

"Stella" I said walking over to her and leaving Michael behind. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"Sure she is, she was with Luke" Calum said struggling to his feet from the ground. Stella stifled a laugh and so did I.

"Um, Luke's taking me to his place tonight" she said, whipping her tears.

"Okay, I love you" I said bringing her in for a tight squeeze.

"Bye" she said as Luke took her hand and started walking toward the front door. I smiled and looked back at Michael.

"Come on" I said nodding at Michael. He walked over to me and I grabbed his hands and pulled him into the house, down the hall and into my room.

"What are you doing?" he asked smiling. I giggled and pulled my hands out of his, slipping my shoes off.

"I don't know" I admitted. He closed my door and stalked over to stand in front of me.

"Are you tired?" he asked placing his hands on my waist.

"Yeah I am actually" I said close to his lips. He slid his hands under my top. He covered my neck in small kisses causing me to accidentally moaned. He slipped his hands further up my back as he started sucking on my neck.

I giggled and flinched grabbing his arms. I giggled his name as he kept sucking in different places. He laughed into my neck finally bringing his lips to my forehead.

"I should probably let you get some sleep" he said looking into my eyes.

"Or, you could...stay" I said shyly.

"But I have no clothes to sleep in" he smiled blushing.

"Well you could sleep in what you've got on" I smiled. We laughed and I pulled away. "I'm going to the bathroom" I said putting my hand on his chest. He moaned and I walked out the room shutting myself in the bathroom. I leant over the sink and gasped covering my mouth and trying not to smile.

Michael was going to stay the night in my bed and he wasn't even going to push the subject of sex. I smiled again. I walked back into my room to find Michael laying in my bed...shirtless. He smirked and raised his arms and locked his hands behind his head.

I felt my cheeks turn bright red and I turned and walked over to the end of my bed where I grabbed my tiny shorts and my loose tank top.

"Close your eyes" I said looking at Michael, trying my hardest not blush anymore.

"Why?" he asked smiling.

"Cause I'm about to get changed" I said smiling.

"I'm half naked in your bed and you want me to close my eyes while you get into another set of clothes" he said raising his eyesbrows. 

"Well why should I sleep half naked when I have prefectly good clothes to sleep in" I said smiling. He pouted at me and sat up right bringing his hands in his lap. "Fine" I sighed and walked to the door turning of the lights and making sure the room was pitch black. "I hate you" I said walking back to the end of the bed and unbuttoning my jeans.

"You Love me" he mumbled through his laughs. I pulled my top over my head and let it fall to the floor. I let out my breath not realising I was holding it and walked over to the emtpy side of the bed. I pulled back the blacket and slipped my little body into the bed.

I felt Michael lay down with me as he drapped his arm over my waist, pulling our half naked bodies together. I felt my body line with goosebumbs as Michael started drawing little pattens on my bare skin.

I shuffled closer to him, allowing our bare legs, tummie and lips connect. He slowly kissed my lips then my forehead. I cuddled down into his chest and closed my eyes, falling asleep seconds later.
