Michael
I pick up a slice of pizza from the white and green box placed on the coffee table in the apartment I share with Ashton. Currently, Ashton's whereabouts is unknown to me. I flick through the channels, getting bored faster and faster. I kind of regret rejecting Calum when he called me earlier to ask if I wanted to go clubbing with him and Luke. I get up and go to the kitchen, then walk out again, before walking a circle around my living room. I plop back down on the couch, checking the time on the clock placed on the wall. 20:33. I sigh deeply, concluding its too early to go to bed. I bite my lip, contemplating what to do, before I finally coming to a decision. I take my white iPhone out of my pocket, scrolling through my contacts before coming to a number. I dial it, putting my phone to my ear.
"Hello?" The female voice rings through my ear
"Colette?" I question
"Michael! Hi," her joyous tone floats through the phone
"Hey," I chuckle, "I know it's short notice but I was wondering if you were busy?"
She laughs, "It just so happens, no, I'm not, what did you have in mind?"
"Movie night?" I question
"Sounds fantabulous," I can hear her grin through the phone,
"Great, how bout we meet at the video shop down town in ten?"
"Sounds great, see you then," she smiles,
"See you then," I hang up the phone, running up to my room to change my jeans and spritz myself with some Lynx. I grab my leather jacket, putting it on over my black t-shirt and black skinny jeans, running down the stairs and exiting the apartment. As I walk the five minutes to the video shop, I pull out my phone and call Ashton.
"Hello?" His voice rings through the phone, shouting slightly,
"Ash? Where are you?" I call
"Club, where are you?"
"I'm on my way to a date, I just rung to ask if you could crash at Calum and Luke's tonight?"
His chuckle rings through the phone and I can practically hear his smirk, "Sure,"
"Not like that Ash," I try and protest,
"No,no I get it," he interrupts, "Have a, eh, pleasant night, I hope it's becuming ,"
I groan, rolling my eyes,
"Do you get it?" Ash asks, laughing at his own joke,
"Yeah, I get it, bye Ashton," I hang up the phone, putting it in my pocket and walking into the video shop. A few minutes later, I see Colette walk in. I smile at her and wave slightly, as she approaches me,
"Hey there," I smile lightly,
"Hey there," she grins, "What's the story?" She asks, putting a 'h' in between the s and the t.
"How about we get a DVD and we could watch it at mine?" I suggest,
"Sounds smashing," she smiles, "What kind of movie?"
"Let us have a look," I muse, smiling,
"Let us," she nods, her eyes sparkling,
We stroll around the shop, before her eyes fall on a movie and a grin sets across her face. She looks up at me through her long lashes, and I can immediately tell it won't be a movie I want to see,
"So you never specified your movie preference..." she starts, before picking up the movie and placing it behind her back, turning around to me, "So I presume you'd be open to all movies..."
I laugh, crossing my arms and shaking my head at her, "And how open would I have to be?"
"Well, how about 'If I Stay' open?" She grins, her eyes crinkling at the sides,
I roll my eyes, laughing as my head begins to nod, "I'll widen my selections,"
She grins, wrapping her arms around my waist and placing her head on my chest. I put my arms around her frame, the scent of her hair filing my nostrils with a vanilla haze. My lips find their way to her forehead and I place a gentle kiss on it, before taking the DVD and going up to pay, despite her protests that she's able to pay herself because she's a 'strong, independent woman'.
As we exit the shop, my fingers entangle themselves with Colette's. We walk down the street, our gentle conversation sifting through the otherwise still night air. We approach mine and Ashton's apartment block, and ascend to the ninth floor to get to our flat. I unlock the door and we walk in, me closing the door behind us.
"Jesus, it's huge!" Colette breathes, looking around the flat,
I laugh, "It's not that big,"
"You'd want to see mine compared to this," she shakes her head,
"Do you like toffee popcorn?" I question, laughing slightly,
"Do you even have to ask that question?" She asks, laughing,
"I'll go get the bag, make yourself at home," I smile,
By the time I get back, she's set up the DVD and we both collapse on the couch. I slide my arm around her shoulders and her head snuggles into my chest.
Throughout the movie, I hear her tiny gasps, her startled breaths and her tiny sniffles. When the ending credits roll, her head is nearly buried in my chest, and I lean down to look at her, tears staining her face. She hiccups, looking back up at me,
"That was not a good movie to watch on a first date," she sniffles, as the mascara tear stains become evident on her cheeks,
"Second date," I correct her, cuddling her closer to me,
"It was so sad," she sniffles, "He died!"
I try and hold back my chuckle, cuddling the torn up Colette in my arms. I check the time, reading just after midnight,
"It's late, do you want to just crash here tonight?" I ask her,
She looks up at me and nods, "Sure," she sniffles finally, wiping her eyes,
"My room mate isn't here tonight, so I'll take his bed and you can have mine?" I suggest,
"Perfect," she grins, "do you have a toilet? Because I've been dying for a piss but the movie was too good," she confesses
I laugh, giving her the directions,
"You're a doll," she breaths, rushing off.
I clean up the popcorn wrapper and make sure my room is moderately clean for her, making my bed quickly and roughly, before going back out to the living room. I bump into Colette on the way back, grabbing her arms as so she doesn't fall,
"We have to stop meeting like this," she says, wiggling her eyebrows and laughing, as I join in,
"I'll get you a shirt to sleep in? I'll try and find a long one," I offer her, as she pads behind me to my room, where she plops down on the bed, before I hand her a shirt. I turn around, giving her privacy as she then changes. She gives me the all clear, signalling I can turn around. I bite my lip to contain myself at the sight of her petite figure before me, her bare legs showing, my shirt stopping just below her knees, her pale skin putting me on edge. Her long, dark, hair cascades over her shoulders, her modelesque face smiling up at me,
"You're so gorgeous," I breathe, before turning red at the words I let escape my mouth,
Her own cheeks flush red, as she takes a step towards me, until we're face to face. Well, forehead to chin.
"You," she states, putting her arms lightly around my neck, "have gone as red as your hair,"
I slip my hands around her hips, "Is that so?" I question, leaning down slightly,
"Mmm," she whispers, her eyes flickering closed as she leans in, our lips connecting, sending a static of sparks flying through my body. I feel myself twitch at the sensational touch. I've never felt this much passion and longing in just a simple kiss. I start getting slightly worried that I might get a boner, but I push it to the back of my mind, continuing the amazing feeling that's going through me, slipping my tongue into her mouth. A feeling of a thousand fireworks sets off to in my stomach, as a burst of happiness spreads through me, her kiss like an ecstasy, my mind blurs, as I stumble back, ending up falling onto the bed, Colette on top of me, leaving her in fits of laughter at our adjoined clumsiness,
"Idiot," she laughs, kissing me lightly,
I shake my head, running a hand through my hair,
"I'll let you go to bed," I tell her, getting up.
She reaches up, grabbing my waist and pulling me back down,
"Stay with me," she says, pushing some hair out of my face,
I raise my eyebrows,
"To sleep of course," she rolls her eyes,
I nod, "Do you want me to put in a tracksuit?"
She shakes her head, waving her hand to dismiss me. I strip down to my underwear, my cheeks heating up with embarrassment as I feel her stare on me. I quickly get under the covers,
"Are you okay?" She whispers gently, stroking my hair, propping herself up on one shoulder,
I nod, smiling up at her, kissing her gently. She immediately deepens the kiss, it soon ending up with her laying atop of me, our hips grinding into each other, my head as fuzzy as anything, the most amazing ecstatic feeling passing brought me constantly, until she breaks the kiss, grinning, and kissing me gently on the lips before rolling off me,
"Tease," I wink at her, kissing her cheek,
"I try," she grins
