"Anne?" I finally managed to spit out. Still not believing the woman that stood in front of me.
"Oh my God Michelle! I've missed you so much! Where did you go?" She asked sitting down across from me.
"I moved to California, I missed you too. How have you been?"
"I'm alright, it's been pretty boring here without my main bishh by my side," she said laughing at the way we used to talk when we were in high school. "But how have you been?"
"I'm getting there, these boys have been getting me through it," I said smirking and giving Mike's hand a gentle squeeze under the table. "Anne, this is Mike, Jaime, and Tony," I explained pointing to them as I said their names.
They muttered hi as they ate their ice creams, "you know, you're brother, Allen misses you. I talked to him a couple days ago, he kept asking about you but I couldn't give him the answers."
"Hows the little one doing?" I asked, referring to my nephew.
"To be honest I don't think he remembers who you are."
I looked down at the table, a tear making its way down my cheek. How could my own nephew not remember me? Mike reached over and wiped the tear from my cheek, pressing a kiss to my temple. I smiled up at him.
"I better go, but good news, I'm moving to California soon. So maybe I'll see you around! Talk to your brother, okay Michelle? Don't be a stranger!" She yelled walking away.
"How do ho you know her?" Jaime asked.
"She was my best friend in high school," I stated simply. Remembering some of the memories we shared brought a smile to my face.
"Alright let's go children, let's go back to the bus. It's past your bed time!" Mike yelled pushing them out of the table.
Walking ahead of the boys I heard someone running up behind me, I turned around quickly in fear that it was some unwanted company but it was just Mike.
"Hey," he said grabbing my hand and lacing our fingers together.
"Hello," I said sweetly smiling at him.
Suddenly my phone buzzed in my back pocket, I had a notification from Instagram. I stared down at the picture that Tony just tagged Mike and I in. We were holding hands and I was smiling up at him and he was smiling down on me. The picture was actually cute, the caption read 'look at these two love birds!(;'
"Very cute Tony!" I yelled turning around and flipping him off.
He gave me the cheesiest smile, going back to his conversation with Jaime.
I turned back around, making our journey back to the bus, hand in hand in complete silence.
"Oh honey! We're home!" I yelled once we were on the bus. "VICTOR! Get your ass out here!" A few minutes later he still didn't show up to the lounge, so I walked back to his bunk and jumped on top of him, causing him to scream in response.
"Jesus Christ Michelle you scared me!" He lightly slapped my arm and I pouted at him.
"Aww you poor little baby, come here," Vic grabbed my face a started planting kisses all over my face. That was until someone cleared their throat in front of the bunk. I looked over to see Mike standing their watching us.
"You know Michelle, I thought we had something special going on. But I guess I was wrong, that-that hurts. You know?" He said putting his fist to to his heart and hitting a few times. Bringing his hand up to his eye he wiped away the non-existant tears.
I raised my eyebrow at him, climbing out of the bunk I walked towards Mike. Only to find myself being tossed over his shoulder and running out of the bus into the parking lot.
"MIKE!" I screamed pounding his on his back, "put me down!"
"Never!" He yelled with an evil laugh, still running around the parking lot.
I took it upon myself when he slowed down to pull his pants down revealing his Harry Potter boxers.
"Really Mike? Really?" I asked through laughter.
He set me back down on my feet gently so he could pull his pants back up, "dont judge Michelle!" He yelled.
"Too late," I said quickly, I turned around quickly, making a run for it to go back on the bus, but he was too fast.
Mike wrapped his around my waist and pulled me close to him, "you're not going anywhere," he whispered in my ear.
My breath immediately hitching, I turned to look at him to see him smiling widely.
Who knew one human being could make me so happy?
