Promise (Mike x eleven)

Chapter 4

Elevens pov
Mike looked at me like he did when he called me pretty for the first time. He was wearing a blue t shirt with a jacket over it and some regular pants. I smiled at him.
"Wow" he said. I looked at my shows that looked like the shoes that I mike had given me once. Nancy had two pairs. I smiled. I felt all tingly.my stomach felt weird. It felt like some was spinning it around. I kind of enjoyed the feeling.
"Ready to go." He asked looking very red
I nodded my head at him. We left the house after I thanked Nancy. We hopped into mikes bike. I held onto his jacket. For some reason it felt wrong to hold on to him this way. It felt like should be doing it another way. I held onto his waist and rested my shoulder into his back. I felt him tense up. Even if I felt him jump a bit this felt more right. We began to ride everywhere. He told me about everything. Every time we passed a building he would tell me something. Soon we arrived to a spot that i had recognized. It was the place where mike jumped off of. I remember saving me.

Flashback
I fell down feeling drained.
"El" mike said to me
"Mike. I'm sorry " I said to him with tears in my eyes
"Sorry? What are you sorry for?." He asked me with a small smile and a slightly hurt expression
" the gate" I paused "I opened it" I paused again." I'm the monster." I said to him with tears in my eyes and blood running down my nose
"No. No el you not the monster." He paused "You saved me. Do you understand? You saved me" he reassured me. He then pulled me into a hug.
End of flashback
We got off of his bike and walked to the center of the cliff.
"I remember this day." I said to him blankly
"Me to." He responded. I looked at him with a blank expression. He looked at me.
"Remember when you told me that you opened the gate?" He asked
"Yes." I responded
"How did you do it." He questioned me
I looked at him with a hurt expression
"I don't know." I answered him slowly

Mike's POV
I felt bad for asking her the question. She looked at the cliff from a far. I would say were about 10 feet from the cliff. There was now a small gate there. It was made of metal.it kept people from falling.i looked down at her hand. It looked so lonely and cold. It reminded me of how will described the upside down. I grabbed her hand and saw a small smile appear on her face as she looked into the blue sky. I felt her hand begin to warm up.
"Do people always do this." She asked
"Do what." I questioned
"Go to pretty places together." I answered
"Yeah all the time." I told her
"What is it called. When people do this." She asked looking at me. I began to blush. I realized that she probably didn't know about dating and have a boyfriend or girlfriend.
"Well people call it a d..date." I stuttered
"Why do you sound weird when you say date." She asked
"Well mostly because when people go in a date." I took in a deep breath." It means that they like each other."
"I like you mike." She said. I knew she didn't mean the way she thought she did.
"No not that type of like." I corrected her
" is there more than one" she asked confused
"Yes." I answered
"What is the difference." She questioned. This was it. This was the moment when she would find out the truth. I took a deep breath again
"Well one like us being friendly around them. Like when I am with Lucas or Dustin or will."
"And me?" She asked
"No" I answered her
She gives me a hurt expression
"Why not me." She asked sadly
"Because you are in the other type of like section." I said to her
" What is the other type of like mean." She questioned. Looked deep into her eyes.
"The other type of like is when you always want to be around that person. When you would do anything for them. When you would risk a lot for them." I said to her
"How do you know." She questioned me
"You know when you feel very weird. When you stomach is in a knot. You feel nervous. And you tingle in the inside. You feel butterflies when you are around them. When their smile makes you happy. When they are upset it makes you cry." I paused "It's how I feel when I am around you." I give her a deep expression
"Mike" she looks at me like she can't process
"What does it mean if I feel like smiling when you put your lips on mine." She asked me
I looked at her and gave a small smile
"It means that you feel the same way."
"What does it mean if I feel like I just used my powers right now. Even if I didn't." She asked me looking confused. I smiled at her. It mean that you like me.
"Is that good." She asked me as she begins to breath heavier. She looks at me. I see that her lips are quivering.
"I like you a lot eleven." I say to her
"I...." she was about to say until I heard the walking talkie go off. I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 5:40
"Crap we have to go." I say to her. She looked at me sad
"But mike." She said
"We have to go el it's important." I said quickly
We hopped on my bike and began to go. She hadn't been holding on as tight as she had been. The it hit me. She was just about to tell me what was on her mind and then I just totally made her hold until her own surprise. I knew how to make it up to her. I stopped the bike and hopped off of it. I took her off it to. She looked at me with surprise
"What about the emergency mike." She asked in Shock
"It can wait. What were you going to tell me." I asked slowly as I got close to her. She looked at me with a twinkle in her deep brown eyes
"I...i..,I like you mike." There was no smile on our faces. Mostly because I couldn't focus. I was definitely happy though. We leaned in slowly. Our lips connected quickly after. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped my arms around her waist. The kiss lasted for 5 seconds. We pulled away.We leaned our heads together and smiled.
" ready to go now." I asked her soothingly
She lightly nodded and hopped on my bike. She then wrapped her arms around my waist tightly as we rode to my house with smiles on both of our faces.

This has been my favorite chapter to write. You can probably see why
