ELIZABETH

Usually festive seasons make me sick but not this year. This year I'm actually looking forward to spending some time with Aunt Rose and Michael ( you know what I mean;). Michael, Michael, oh Michael! Everything is so damn perfect about the guy, even his dick. No I've thought about it enough since yesterday and I'm not going to get horny the first in the morning (again!) Even when he's cocky, he's so soft and sensitive and caring. My Michael. Belly has been looking at us very suspiciously lately. She and Michael are exchanging looks, looks I think only intelligent people like them would understand I guess. One more week I thought to myself. So the week went like this. Monday morning I entered my English class and Michael being Michael was already at his seat. The guy is always and always very very early, too early. I just enter the class 5 minutes prior, that's it. No more, no less. So as soon as I entered the class, he mouthed the words " suck my dick" and started laughing. I must have looked like a tomato for sure. " Fuck you" I mouthed back and settled down in my last chair ( professor Blair let me off the hook after that damn assignment). He turned back and mouthed " waiting for that" and winked. My heart did a back flip. I want to do that too I thought to myself, like every other day. The rest of the day was pretty much the same. We studied at my place and made out. Tuesday was the same. On Wednesday, I went over to his place to hangout with Aunt Rose because I saw less and less of her everyday. We had a great time together and Michael like the dick he was got hooked up on the stupid videogame meanwhile. He was probably leaving us alone.

" Why don't you call Michael, I'll set the table up" Aunt Rose said and proceeded to go to the kitchen.

" Michael, come downstairs" I shouted from the living room. No response.

" Michael" I called again. Asshole, I thought to myself and went upstairs to his room. The room was empty.

" Michael?"

" In the bathroom" he shouted.He was taking a shower. Oh no, why am I tempted to go in.. I'll just wait downstairs. Just when I was about to leave the room Michael came out if the shower with with a towel wrapped around his hips. I stood there gawking at him. Wow. Those arms, broad shoulders, those nice pecs, those abs and oh my god that V, that happy trail and went down and down. He was taking out his clothes from the cupboard.

" I think you have drool on your face" he said and laughed.

If you know Michael, he NEVER EVER says things like these, he's not cocky at all, atleast that's what I thought. But with me there's an entire version of Michael, a new one, one that no one knows about. My Michael. I cleared my throat and said

" Aunt Rose is setting up dinner " my voice was barely a whisper and just like that he dropped his towel and wore his boxers.

" Oh my god Michael, why did you do that" he's got a wonderful ass though. I might combust right now. I want to do so many things but not now when his mother was waiting for us downstairs.

" What? Nothing you haven't seen before" he laughed again. His skin and hair were glistening. That musky scent of cedarwood was driving me crazy.

" Not when your mom is waiting downstairs" I yelled. He was wearing his sweat pants. Fine two can play this game. So I went and stood in between his legs and started kissing his chest.

His breathing quickened and he grabbed my shoulders pulling me away from his body. Then he kissed me , his tongue darting into my mouth and stopped abruptly.

" Let's go downstairs shall we" he pleaded.

" Downstairs where I smirked " trailing my palm down his chest. He smacked my ass and put his t on.

" Ow " I yelped and rubbed my ass

" Don't tempt me baby, come-on" he said and dragged me out of the room. We were climbing down the stairs when he sling his around my shoulder.

" What are you doing, hands off" I whisper yelled and tried to take his hand off of me.

" What's wrong, friends do this all the time" he said and groped my chest. What the fuck is wrong with him.

That asshole was laughing. What an asshole.

" You are such an asshole" I whisper yelled and pinched his waist. He pushed me down the stairs( there were only 2 of them) and ran towards the kitchen. Why is he behaving like a 3 yr old? He went into the kitchen and pulled Aunt Rose's ponytail. This guy I'm telling you. She looked at me and gave me a 'what's wrong with him? 'look. I just shrugged my shoulders. But hey! I'm happy that he is happy. The thing that makes me the happiest in this world is his happiness. I mean that with all my heart. His beautiful smile, lights up my entire being. It makes me, makes me feel so much .. joy. I never thought it was true when I saw movies and read romance novels but it is very true. Love and only love has that power and I just wasn't in love back then. We were having dinner when Aunt Rose started talking talking

" I have something to tell you guys, don't me mad okay" okay where is this going.

" What is it? " Michael said casually.

" I may not be home for Christmas "

" What!"

" What do you mean" both Michael and I said at the same time.

" Don't freak out, my parents are going back to Nashville this year for Christmas and I decided to tag along with them"

Silence filled the room. God I was looking forward to spend the Christmas with her and Michael

" I'm not asking you to come" she told Michael.

" So I can stay here?" Michael said. Woahhh. Okay, what's going on?

" You don't want to go?" I asked Michael.

" I'm not really a fan of my grandparents and Nashville" Michael said with a shrug.

" I know that, that's why only I am going" Aunt Rose said.

" So you'll be alone for Christmas?" I asked Michael.

He mouthed" shut up". What am I missing?

" Of course not, he has you, he has David, he's not a kid anymore" Aunt Rose said. Right! I will have Michael all to myself. Michael's eyes were shining.

" David's going to throw a party" I said a wee bit excited.

" He is?" Michael asked.

" He throws one every year, " I rolled my eyes. Every year on the 30th of December, David Roosevelt throws a very big party as he spends the 31st with his family.

" You guys have fun then" Aunt Rose said. I have no idea what she meant but Michael and I are definitely going to have some fun. Michael and I exchanged a smile and we went back to eating. It was the 22nd of December, the last day of our school before Christmas break. Everyone was rushing out but Michael and I walked leisurely with his arm around my shoulder and arm around his waist.

" I'm gonna drop mom at the airport and come over to pick up up, 'kay" he said. Michael and I decided to spend the holidays at his place, it was more of a home than mine.

" I'll be ready" I said looking up at him.

He kissed my temple and belly was waiting for me at my car. Did she see that? As soon as I reached my car, she put her arms around me and said

" Merry Christmas in advance, in case I don't see you" she said with a wink. All these years I've spent all the holidays either alone or with the Portlands'. I should definitely pay them a visit, infact we'll both pay them a visit.

" Merry Christmas belly" I said smiling. Of course she figured it out, I think everyone did. They're not blind.

" Okay, I'm gonna go now" she said smilingly and whispered" you guys look great together" in my ear before leaving. I rolled my eyes and waved her bye. Of course we looked great together. That made my heart swell. I'm going to spend every minute with Michael for the next few days and I can't wait. After reaching home I told Trenton and Sandra that I'll be gone for a few days and I'll let them know when to come. Sandra laughed at that and gave me a hug. Too bad I didn't get them any presents. But there's nothing I can do now. Atleast I'll get my friends something I thought to myself and packed everything, all my clothes, essentials. I showered and shaved. I was standing in my room looking at my packed bags and I felt nervous all of a sudden.I know what's going to happen once Michael and I are going to be alone. Oh my god, everything is going to change isn't it? I hope it's for the good and just in time my phone ringed with Michael's call

" Lover, you should come over" Michael shouted .

" Is that a Jeff Buckley reference"

" Yes and no, I'm coming over to get you okay"

" Okay" I said smiling into the phone. Michael and I decided to do some grocery shopping for the following days. I picked up some groceries and was looking at everything else I neede when I found Michael stuck at a certain spot, namely the condom section. He looked so confused and was reading the details of everything. LOL.

" Need help Michael" my words made him jump and I laughed even more.

" There are sooooo many varieties of condoms " he said. As a matter of fact there were.

" Just pick one of everything" I said.

" Only one?" he said cocking his brow. I punched his arm at that. He picked up whole boxes of stuff he wanted and I did not miss that he picked dotted condoms too. Oh my,

" that's a lot of condoms" I said

" Better be safe than sorry" he sang.

" Did Aunt Rose take you to any doctor for sex Ed like she did to me?" That was a horrible experience, that scarred me for life.

" She did, at 16, that was pure torture, that just struck sex out of my books" Michael said visibly cringing.

" I know right" I agreed. At the check out I saw Michael staring at something , what he was staring at, I couldn't figure it out but there was a cute girl in the line. Was he checking her out? I smacked his head.

" Ow what was that for" Michael yelped and rubbed the back of his head.

" You know what for!"

" For checking out your chest?"

" What?"

" What do you mean what?"

" I thought you were checking her out" I whispered signalling towards the cute girl.

" El, why would I check anyone out with you next to me?" He said taking my head in his. I looked at him blankly.

" What were you thinking exactly" I asked him curious.

" I was just wondering.. if your .. boobs became bigger " he whispered in my ear. That just made me laugh out loud. Michael was blushing and murmured a shut up.

" No it's the t shirt I think " I said finally

" We'll find that out" he said and kissed my cheek. Wow. At the checkout the sales guy looked at all the condoms and us and smirked. I just rolled my eyes and Michael squeezed my hand. We then went to a cute vintage shop to buy presents for everyone and cursed a lot for the long line. It was night by the time we finally crashed at his place.

" That was exhausting" I said plopping down in the sofa near the fireplace. Michael light it up and joined me. We ordered take out, ate heartily, laughed a lot, showered ( separately) and got into bed to sleep. We were too tired to do anything else and besides we had a lot of time in our hands. Michael and I snuggled like two bugs under the rug. I had my arm and leg around him and Michael wrapped his arms around me. It couldn't get any better than this .

" I always wanted to fall asleep with you " I whispered.

" Mee too El, every night I go to sleep imagining you in my arms" he said and kissed the top of my head. I kissed his chest and settled on it.

" Michael" I whispered.

" Hmm"

" I'm so glad I met you" I whispered. His heart stopped beating for a second.

" I love you El, with all my heart " he said and pulled me up to kiss my lips.

It was so soft and tender and full of love. I kissed both of his cheeks and settled back on his chest.

" Good night Michael"

" Good night El" and that was the best sleep I ever had in my whole life.
