twenty five

Michael's P.O.V

I woke up with the worst headache I've ever experienced in my life. I tried to stretch, but then I realised that I wasn't the only one on the bed.

Sierra.

Her eyes were closed; her mouth was slightly open and her hair were falling on her face.

Damn she even looked hot in boxers.

The feelings I have for her are too strong to be called a crush. I know I love her. Sometimes I just wish I could wrap my arms around her without her getting all worked up or uncomfortable. For once I want to wrap my arms around her and want to to see a smile emerging on her lips, I want to see her happy when I'm with her.

Stop being so dramatic loser. My conscience spoke up.

Logan is a very lucky guy and he should value Sierra more than anything, I don't think he knows anything about Sierra's feeling for him and he's going to die of happiness once he gets to know about it, I mean I would start acting like a clown if a girl like Sierra ever proposes me.

There's no other girl like Sierra though.

Well, Sierra and Logan will be married one day and will be living with their four kids in their little house. But if that bastard ever tried to hurt her, I'll take a huge knife and cut his body into little pieces and feed it to the homeless.

Guess which body part of his I'll cut first?

His little dick, of course.

"Sierra?" I said and tapped on her hand. "Sierra?"

She sat on the bed, her eyes still close and suddenly out of nowhere she wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her face in my shoulder. "I love you." She said softly and I froze on my spot. "Happy birthday mom."

Oh, It's her mother's birthday!

So, that 'I love you' wasn't for me.

I rubbed her back with my free hand and my other hand was in an awkward state because of the handcuffs. "I love you more." I whispered.

"Mom?" She murmured.

"Hmm?"

"When did you start working out?" She said with a little chuckle. "It's like I'm hugging some wrestler."

I chuckled softly before pecking the area below her ear.

"Mic?" Maria stepped inside the room and I took a deep breath.

"Before you say something-"

"Are you both sleeping together?" She said with wide eyes.

"No, since you have eyes you can see that we have our clothes on." I said still rubbing Sierra's back.

"Why isn't she saying anything?" She asked stepping closer.

"She's asleep." I said and she nodded.

"What's up with the handcuffs?" She asked and I pursed my lips.

"It's a long story."

"Get ready Aidan and Avery will be coming today." She said and I frowned.

Oh, did I ever mention that after my mother my dad fucked one more woman and Aidan and Avery were the two dangerous consequences.

We never had any type of attachment since they lived with their mother all their lives and came here once a while. I was happy since I always wanted to live alone with Maria and without any step-brother, step-sister or step-mother.

Maria left the room and I saw Sierra still sleeping with her head on my shoulder. I slowly held her by the shoulders and made her head rest on the pillow before taking out the handcuffs' key from my pocket and unlocking them.

I went into the bathroom before taking my clothes off and turning the shower on. A little sigh escaped my lips as soon as the hot water streamed down my body. I wrapped a towel around my waist and got out of the bathroom.

No sign of Sierra.

My boxers and t-shirt were on the floor. Where did she go now?!

I got into my pair of khaki shorts and a white t-shirt before rushing out of room. "Sierra?" I shouted walking towards her room before opening the door to see no one. "Sierra, where the hell are you?!"

"What is the matter Mic?" Maria said walking out of kitchen with a empty dish in her hand.

"Where is Sierra?" I asked still looking around. "I swear to god this time if she ran away I'm going to lock her in a freaking cage."

"Calm down, did she tell you something?"

"Um..kind of, it's her mother's birthday today." I said and she smiled.

"Then I think I know where she is." Maria said.

***

I walked inside the graveyard and saw a familiar figure standing near a grave.

Her hair were open and she was wearing my white buttoned shirt with the sleeves rolled up till her elbows and a pair of faded black jeans.

I smiled, she was wearing my shirt.

I started towards her but was interrupted by a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Maria. "I think she needs some time alone." She said and I nodded. I stood there with Maria waiting for her. After a good amount of time she finally turned around and before she could even see us I rushed towards her.

Just when I was inches away she closed the distance between us and hugged me tightly and started sobbing in my chest. "She left me Michael, I hate her!" She murmured into my chest and I swallowed hard before rubbing her back yet again.

"You're very lucky." I said and she almost immediately pulled away.

"Lucky? Lucky that she left me?" She frowned and I shook my head because she was totally misunderstanding.

"No, lucky because at least you know who your mother was." I said and her face instantly soften. "My dad didn't marry her, she was probably a prostitute."

"Hey, at least don't say that." She said placing her palm on my shoulder. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"You kind of told me about your mom's birthday in your sleep." I said.

"Oh" was all she said before Maria signalled us to sit in the car.

Yes an actual car. I know how to drive, but I've always preferred bikes and I still do, but I couldn't Maria with me on a bike.

Well, I can but its not because of Maria, it's because Sierra doesn't like bikes and she always used to ask me for a car and I used to ignore her that time.

"You came here in this car?" She asked pointing towards the matte black Lamborghini.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"Nothing, I just thought you didn't liked cars." She said furrowing her eyebrows.

I don't, but you do.

"C'mon in, you two!" Maria said and I slid on the driver's seat while Maria sat on the passenger seat and Sierra on the back seat.

We entered the mansion and I saw Aidan walking towards us.

Oh great he's already here.

"Fancy seeing you here Ventresca." Aidan said and I passed him a confused look.

They both know each other?!
