Chapter 14: Chapter Thirteen!

Adelynn’s POV

“Awww! Aren’t they cute?” I faintly hear someone saying in the background.

“Shh! Calm down Elle. You’re going to wake them up.” I heard a more manly voice said.

Then I heard shutter sounds. I was really tired so I didn’t mind it. I just kept my eyes closed and snuggled closer to Tyler’s body. I felt his arms around my waist and it was comfortable. I remembered falling asleep while watching Up and I could still hear it playing in the background. That means that not a lot of time had passed since I fell asleep.

I shuffled a little since my butt felt a numb. Tyler and I were sitting on the floor with myself in between his legs and Ty’s back against the couch. We were both sitting on the hard wooden floor for quite a while so I was uncomfortable. As I shifted around, I felt Tyler’s grip around my waist tighten. I felt his face nuzzle on the crook of my neck and I couldn’t help but imagine Tyler as Mike. I imagined Mike’s arms around me like how Tyler had his arms and Mike’s head snuggling into my neck. That would be pretty much amazing.

When I heard a door shut close, and Mike’s voice screaming, “I’m back.” My eyes quickly opened. I was blinded by a camera flash.

I groaned and rubbed my eyes. “Mom!” I said with my eyes still closed. “Put the camera down.”

I saw her pout and hand the camera over to my dad.

I felt groggy and lazy so I didn’t get up from the floor. I layed my head back against Tyler’s chest and then I saw Mike walk in the living room.

“Hey Mike.” I said smiling, my eyes half closed.

When he saw me and Tyler on the floor, something flashed in his eyes. It was gone too fast for me to decipher and then he replaced the look with an emotionless face.

I heard a yawn behind me, signaling that Tyler had woke up. He put his chin on my shoulder. “Why did you have to wake me up woman?” Tyler whined.

I giggled. “Too bad.” I replied back to him.

“Uh, hey guys.” Spoke Mike. I looked up at him and just stared. My brain was still a little fuzzy from the sleep.

“Hey Mike.” Tyler said, causing his voice to rumble on his chest.

I closed my eyes and asked my mom, “Mom, why did you have a camera with you before? What were you taking a picture for?”

I heard her let out an excited squeal. “You guys just looked so cute sleeping there on the floor. I couldn’t resist taking a picture.”

I opened my eyes. “Momm! C’mon I probably look like shit.” I complained. She was most likely going to frame the picture and put it somewhere. That’s what she did with the pictures that she liked. I have a feeling she liked the picture that she took, seeing that she was so excited.

“Language Adelynn.” She scolded.

“Mom, shit is not a curse and I know you say it too. Don’t be unfair.”

She blushed and looked at my dad for help. He responded by giving my mom a playful look. “Ellen, don’t be a hypocrite now. You said shit just this morning. I heard you.” My dad gave me a wink and I grinning at him for helping me.

“Fine, gosh guys. To think my husband would help me. Anyway, look at these pictures. You guys are so cute!”

My dad rolled his eyes, giving the camera to my mom. My mom opened it and showed us the photo. Haha, it did look cute with my head on Tyler’s chest and his head leaned on the top of my head. If someone looked at it, they would say that we were a cute couple. I didn’t like Tyler that way though but as soon as I replaced Tyler’s face with Mike’s, my heart started to beat a little faster and I started to blush.

When my mom saw this, she squealed and gushed. “Aww! Look she’s blushing.”

I tried to discretely look at Mike from the corner of my eyes to see him staring at Tyler with a hard look on his face. I frowned. What happened to him?

“We make such a cute couple.” I heard Tyler say.

I turned around to look at him and rolled my eyes. “I don’t like you like that.” I said.

He gasped and put his hand over his chest. “You wound me Addy. My heart is broken.”

I laughed at his silliness and shook my head. “You’re so stupid.” I said.

“So mean.” He pouted. My parents walked out of the living room and announced that they were going to sleep.

“We’re going to sleep now so goodnight guys. If you both, Mike and Tyler want to stay over, you are allowed. Just kick Adelynn out of her bed. I’m sure she can sleep on the floor.” My mom joked.

“Mom.” I said with mock annoyance. I knew she was kidding so I wasn’t actually annoyed.

“I’m just kidding hun. You guys can share the bed or something if you want to. If you guys can fit. Or someone can sleep on the couch. I don’t know, you guys can figure it out.”

“They can’t sleep on the same bed! She’s a girl and they’re both guys!” I heard my dad complain.

“It’s okay,” My mom said, waving him off. “It doesn’t matter.”

“But it does! I don’t want Addy to-” My mom interrupted my dad, by whispering something in his ear. A grin appeared on his face and all his thoughts were forgotten. Ew, I don’t even want to think about what my mom said to him.

“Goodnight guys!” My dad announced rather happily and then left the living room with my mom.

“Uhh, I think we would be better off sleeping over at my house.” Tyler said with an uncomfortable look on his face.

“Yeah.” I agreed. We got up and the three of us just stood in the living room of my house.

“My butt is numb.” I muttered while rubbing my bottom. I looked at Mike and saw his eyes travel down to my butt. I looked away from his face just in case he saw me catch him checking me out. I felt extra shy for some reason and didn’t want to tease him. I noticed that he was being awfully quiet though.

“I’ll help you massage it.” Tyler suggested.

My face screwed in disgust. “Eww Tyler! You pervert!” I then punched his arm.

He grinned. “I was just kidding. No need to get violent.”

“Stop bothering Adds.” Mike spoke up ever since he said hi before.

Tyler just smirked at him and they had some kind of secret conversation with their eyes which I could not understand at all.

“But oh my god. Your ass.” Tyler said to me, ignoring Mike’s comment.

I felt uncomfortable and just looked down and blushed. I mean, how do you respond to people talking about your butt?

Next thing you know, Mike just storms out of the living room and I heard my front door slam shut.

“What happened to Mike?” I asked Tyler with confusion. “Why did he just leave?”

Tyler’s response? He just shrugged.

“C’mon, you’re going to be sleeping over at my house today.” I nodded at Tyler’s words. “Definitely. I’ll be over in five minutes.”

Tyler left to go to his house next door and I locked the front door. Shutting off all the lights downstairs, I ran up to my bathroom, rushing up the stairs so that the “monsters” don’t get me. Don’t ask. I always run up the stairs in case a monster comes. I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth when I reached the bathroom.

I changed into my normal pajamas which was my shorts and my oversized t-shirt. I opened the window and saw that Mike’s window was also open. Perfect. It would be easier for me to climb through and I didn’t have to open his window from outside.

I carefully opened my window and climbed into his room. He wasn’t in his room though and was probably in the shower since the shower in his room was occupied.

I trudged my way into Tyler’s room and saw him already sleeping. Wow, that was fast. I thought he would wait for me to come over. I gently closed his door so I wouldn’t wake him up and went back into Mike’s room.

I slipped under the covers, pulling them up to my neck. I inhaled Mike’s scent. A woody and lemony scent filled my nose and I sighed contently.

Five minutes later, I was just about to drift off to dreamland when I heard the bathroom door click open. Mike’s room was filled with the bathroom light and I saw him make his way over to switch on his bedroom light. When the lights flicked open, I took a sharp intake of breathe.

Mike was half naked with a towel wrapped around his waist. It was kind of hung low on his waist but not too low. You could see the V-shape to his hips and I bit my lip. His dark black hair hung low into his eyes and he looked like he just came out of a magazine.

I felt like a total pervert, my eyes roaming all over his body. From his hair, his eyes, his face, to his chest, his stomach muscles and the V-shaped hips.

Mike had a body of a Greek god. My eyes drifted to the little trail of hair that went from his belly button and down, which caused my brain to go into overdrive. That always seemed to drive my hormones insane, for some reason. It made my thoughts drift off to the not so innocent side which I cannot say aloud.

I smacked myself and by now, you know I mean literally. A chuckle erupted from Mike, and I blushed. My face was probably as red as a tomato. Oh my gosh. How could I spend the night here?

“Close your eyes.” Mike ordered.

“Why?” I asked, confused.

“Because I need to put on my boxers?” He waved them in front of my face, putting his boxers in display. Haha, they were these American Eagle superman boxers.

I felt embarrassment wash over me. Of course Adelynn! Are you stupid? I asked myself. Here was Mike, half naked with a towel around his waist and I ask why I need to close my eyes.

“Are you going to close your eyes Adds?” I heard Mike ask.

I quickly nodded and put my hands in front of my eyes, covering them.

I heard his towel drop to the floor with a thud and I felt my heart beating loudly.

“Done.” He announced. I opened back my eyes but quickly closed them.

“Uhh, where are the rest of your clothes?” I asked.

“I’m not naked Adds. You can open your eyes.” I opened them but the only reason why I closed them was because he was only in his boxers. I blushed for the hundredth time.

“I sleep in only boxers because it gets too hot. I can wear some pants if you feel uncomfortable.” He offered. I didn’t want him to get hot so I shook my head.

“It’s okay.” I said.

He climbed into bed and slipped under the light sheets. I was on the edge of the bed since I never slept in the same bed as Mike before. He’s only wearing his boxers! It’s not my fault I felt uncomfortable.

“Mike,” I said softly.

“Hmm?” He replied.

“Why did you just storm out of my living room before?” I asked. I thought about this. What if he was jealous? He was giving Tyler a hard look and Tyler was talking to me more than Mike did himself. That wasn’t possible was it? That Mike may have been jealous?

“Uh,” He paused for a few seconds then continued. “I don’t know.” I frowned. I really wanted him to say something like, “I didn’t like you talking to Tyler more than me” or “I didn’t like how Tyler’s arms were around you.” Like I told myself a million times, there’s no way Mike would be jealous. If he was, that would mean that Mike likes me and that would never happen.

“Okay.” I said back to him. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but I couldn’t. I think Mike couldn’t too since he kept on twisting and turning his sleeping positions.

Ten minutes later of Mike’s endless twisting and turning, he stopped. I was surprised when I felt an arm go under me, then I was pulled towards Mike’s body. He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me close to him. My back was against his chest and my legs were tangled with his. This was ten times better than being hugged by Tyler. No offense to him.

“You’re beautiful.” Mike said out of nowhere, causing my heart beat to pick up more than it already was. I didn’t think that it was possible since my heart was already running a marathon. Not to mention that it was sprinting too.

“Thanks.” I love you. I wanted to say but instead, I just said it in my head.

“Goodnight Adds.” Mike mumbled in my hair then he kissed the back of my head.

Was I dreaming or was Mike’s arms wrapped around me, our legs tangled, he kissed the back of my head, he was hugging me from behind and called me beautiful?

I smiled in complete and utter joy as I answered the question. No. This wasn’t a dream. This is real. Maybe Mike does have feelings for me. I thought to myself with a smile on my face just before I fell into a peaceful sleep.
