"so everything is okay now?" calum asked curiously. i tugged at my bottom lip.

was everything okay now?

michael had gone home saying he has things to do leaving me with a smirking ashton and a clueless calum.

i didn't answer the question and calum changed the subject. "so ashton told me i took a bath with you." he grinned a little and a small blush rose to my cheeks.

"yeah, we were both needy five year olds." i laughed and calum hit me. "you mean you're a needy five year old."

i slapped him back until it broke out in to a full out fight on the floor. calum was pinned under me, the kiwi boy using one hand to slap my face back and forth while the other kept my right hand from slapping his cheeks.

"why the fuck is the- why?" ashton's voice was heard from the door way and i got off of calum.

"he said i was a needy five year old." i pouted.

"because you are!" calum snapped at me and ashton sent a glare at the tan boy.

he shut up.

[ashton's daddy game strong]

"both of you were needy five year olds, luke your shift starts in fifteen minutes so go get dress and you," ashton pointed to calum. "-are to be waiting for me when i get back."

i snickered at calum before walking passed ashton to take a shower but he stopped me. "there's something on my bed for you to wear."

this time calum snickered behind me.

i stood in front of the king size bed that i couldn't help but feel sorry for. but that didn't matter, what did matter was the black laced panties my gaze has dropped down to when i got out of the shower.

i licked over my chapped lips before picking them up and sliding them on to my legs, the fabric snapping against my hips. i smiled and quickly put on some black skinny jeans from calum and a black button up from ashton.

i made my way downstairs, seeing calum no where to be seen and ashton holding the front door open for me. i smiled a thank you and stepped outside, but that's when the door slammed shut behind me. "if you even think about breaking my door down, turn around." ashton's voice called out from behind the door and i did.

michael was in the driver's seat of ashton's car, a small smile on his face as i started walking towards him. "w-what is this?" i asked as michael reached over and opened my door for me. i got in the passenger seat and he started driving.

it was silent for a good five minutes and he still hasn't answered the question. i tried again,

but this time my way.

"michael." i reached my hand over and rested it on his thigh. "can you please tell me where we are going?" i asked, taking two fingers and walking backwards up his thigh.

he tensed and i smirked.

"i- i'm not telling you." was his response and i frowned as he straightened up more. i took my hand away and unbuckled my seat belt, pushing my back against the window and extending my legs over michael's lap. my feet rested perfectly above his-

"luke, if you make me crash this car then you won't know where we're going now will you?"

i didn't argue after that.

+

"okay we're here princess." michael rolled his eyes and i got out, grinning like an idiot when i felt the cold sand beneath my feet. my shoes were in the car after attempting to throw them at michael for entertainment.

i followed michael down the mysterious beach. i looked around seeing it completely empty and i turned to michael in confusion. "where are we?"

"the beach, i thought it would be obvious." he chuckled.

"no i mean, what beach? shouldn't it be packed on an afternoon like this?"

michael stopped walking. "it's just one a found when i first moved here." he shrugged and started walking again until we reached the ocean. "after you."

"i- i didn't bring any-" i remembered the lace i was wearing, but i guess michael did too.

"i know."

michael stripped down to his black boxer briefs while i stripped down to my lace. a small smirk was planted on his face as i slapped his arm for staring. he only picked me up bridal style and carried me in to the water.

"put me down!" i shrieked, kicking my legs out when michael was waist deep.

"okay." he grinned and my eyes widened as i felt his arms no longer there to support my weight. michael's laughs where heard before i crashed in to the water and i quickly swam back up.

"that wasn't funny!" i screamed, turning around and starting to swim away from the purple haired boy. he must have dyed it yesterday when he went home. i slowed down when i felt like i was far enough and turned around.

my eyes widened when realizing michael was no where to be seen. it didn't last long though as i felt two pairs of arms wrap around my legs and i screamed when i was lifted out of the water.

"miss me?" michael asked, his wet hair stuck to his face and i moved it out of the way.

"no." i huffed, trying to keep the smile off my face. one of michael's hands left my waist and cupped my cheek. his head tilted to the side as he leaned in and my eyes fluttered closed.

"i love you so much." he whispered and before i could say it back, his lips where already on mine.

+

"i still hate you." i muttered.

michael's arms where drapped around me as i snuggled more in to his black comforter.

"to the moon?" the pale boy chuckled.

"and back." i confirmed.

we had gotten back an hour ago and after seperate showers, we both climbed back into bed and decided not to move.

"i can't believe i've lived next to you without knowing for almost a year." he breathed, turning on to his side to face me. "i remember seeing you at the store and making to my mission to talk to you."

i closed my eyes and hummed, allowing him to continue.

"i can't believe i was so stupid." his voice cracked and i stopped him.

"michael, if anyone was stupid it was me. i should have worked it out with you instead of going to lily's and-" i started but he cut me off.

"you went to lily's?"

i nodded slowly.

"s-she said you weren't there. that i was a monster and i didn't deserve to see you." he said, his teeth gritted as he broke down.

"s-she said that i didn't diserve you anymore!" he snapped and i flinched.

"michael-"

"do you want to know what else she said?" michael looked at me, his eyes went over every inch of my face trying to read my emotions but you can't read nothing.

"s- s- she said that you deserved someone better. and all i did was make one simple mistake with you. i never cheated on you, i kept you safe, i gave you a place to call home after your parent's died. i gave you everything and you were too worked up over a simple mistake to run away and leave me for two years."

i hadn't realized i was crying before i was slamming michael's front door and pushing myself over the tall wooden fence.
