"What the hell is going on here?"

Luke and I quickly separate, our faces as pale as ghost. "Damnit Michael, don't you knock?" Luke says frustration woven in his voice.

"Well I didn't exactly think I need to, Hemmings," Michael sasses back. "But I guess I was wrong, huh?"

I stay quiet, looking down in at my hands embarrassment.

"Whatever, Michael," Luke rolls his eyes. "What do you want?" He says bluntly.

"Well," Michael starts casually taking a seat on the coach. "Me and the group was wanting to do something but we didn't know what your guys plans were so I decided to ride over to find out. I wasn't really expecting your plans were incest but you know whatever works for you."

Mine and Luke's eye both roll. "Actually," I say ignoring the last part of what Michael said. "We were having a movie marathon."

"Sweet! I'll invite the gang to join," Michael says getting out his phone. "I gotta piss be right back," he says standing and walking towards our bathroom with his phone to his ear.

"Did he just invite himself?" I ask Luke.

He nods his head, "and four of our friends."

We stay silent, both of our minds obviously on the kiss we just shared. "Are we gonna talk about it?" Luke mummers.

I sigh, biting my lip. "Should we?"

"I think we need to," he turns his head towards me. "I also think we both enjoyed it."

"Not the time, Hemmings," I roll my eyes. "We should keep this a secret though. Who knows what our parents would say and school would give us shit."

Luke nods, "but Michael knows." Just then bathroom door opens and Michael walks out.

"The gang will be here soon," he says. "So like are you guys gonna tell me what's going with you two or..." he trails off.

"Look, Mikey," I start. "Please just don't tell anybody, okay?"

"What about our friends though?" He slightly furrows his eyebrows.

"Don't tell them either," Luke says. "We barely know what happened... we don't need others talking about it until we get our minds straight."

Michael nods. "Okay, my lips are sealed. But I still want to know something."

"What do you want to know," I ask slightly tiredly.

"How long has this been going on?"

Me and Luke look at each other. "Do you wanna know the whole story?"

***

We decided to tell Michael the story, from the car make out, the coffee shop thing and what just happened a few moments ago. I think me and Luke felt relieved with someone else knowing, it was like a weight lifted off our shoulders.

"Wow, I feel like I've been living under a rock," Michael chuckles leaning back.

"That's just means we've been doing a good job," I laugh awkwardly.

"Just don't tell anyone," Luke says. "Please."

"Don't worry about it," Michael says casually. "You guys need to figure this out."

Me and Luke both sigh in relief. "Thanks Mikey," I say.

"I must say," Michael pipes up after a few moments of silence. "You two are kinda cute together.

Me and Luke gives a small laugh. "Thanks Mike," Luke mummers.

Just then we heard knocks at the door. "Come on in," Luke yells. With that the crew is here.

"What up guys," Calum says plopping down on the coach beside Luke.

"Not much I suppose," Luke says awkwardly making me shoot him a glance.

"What are we watching?" Lily asks taking a seat next me.

"I think we should watch Home Alone," Ashton says.

We all look at him. "But that's a Christmas movie," I say.

"And it's August," Lily adds.

"So," Ash shrugs casually. "It's still a good movie no matter what time of year. What's wrong with that?"

We all share and glance, then simply shrug.

"I guess we can watch Home Alone," I turn my head to Luke, who has the remote. "Luke?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it." He says scrolling through Nexflix before and searching the movie.

And that's how that day went. We ended up watching only Christmas movies for the rest of the day but that was okay. We enjoyed it and had small talk every once in a while. Everyone left pretty late and me and Luke went to bed without a word.

A/n: I'm so sorry this chapter was so short. I had a super bad case of writer's block and it took a super long time to finish it. Sorry about that!

Next chapter will be better promise!

Also, if I did a character Q/A how many of you would leave questions ??
