Killing Loneliness, chapter 8
<p>Mike's eyes slowly opened. They immediately focused on Scarlett. Memories of the night came flooding back. She was still sleeping peacefully. Last night's eye make-up was slightly smudged, but she still looked pretty. Mike leant over and placed little butterfly kisses on her lips. Scarlett began to stir but she didn't open her eyes.<br />"Morning," she groaned sleepily. Her lips curling into a smile.
<br />"Morning gorgeous." he replied to her.<br />Her eyes were still closed but she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him onto her. They both laughed and Mike began to kiss her, just between her neck and chest. She finally opened her eyes and turned towards the clock. It read 8:45. <br />"Damn." she groaned again.<br />"What's up?" Mike asked lifting his head up.<br />She gestured towards the clock with her head.<br />"Damn, what you gonna do?"<br />"Don't worry about it, I'll think of summat when I get back, I'm not running round to please them."<br />Mike smiled before wrapping his arms around Scarlett.
<br />"Hey Mikey, when is the final for Battle of the Bands?"<br />"Didn't I tell you that it had been postponed?<br />"No or otherwise I wouldn't have asked you, silly!" Scarlett laughed him and tapped him on the
cheek.<br />He smiled.<br />"Oh well it has, because otherwise it would be next weekend but...I dunno..summat happened so it's the second weekend of January."<br />"That's ages away!"<br />"It'll come, and it means we can practise more."<br />Scarlett cheekily pulled him by his shoulders onto her again, groaning with tiredness. They began to make out until she eventually stopped and looked at the end of the bed to pick up her clothes.</p>
**Downstairs**
<p>Billie Joe pulled his head of the cushion of the sofa. He'd been pretty drunk so he'd just gone to sleep on the couch when he got back. He groaned to himself as he rubbed his eyes and walked into the kitchen. Billie actually felt better then he was expecting, but still not good.</p>
<p>Mike and Scarlett walked into the kitchen laughing. Mike was just in his boxers and Scarlett with his dressing gown on.<br />"Hi Mike," Billie mumbled turning to look at him "and Scarlett." He raised his eyebrows as
he turned back to fill a glass back up with water.<br />"Hi." they both answered back. Scarlett wasn't expecting Billie to be back.<br />"You want summat to eat?" Mike asked her.<br />"Just something small please."<br />Her and Mike just had a piece of toast in the end, but Billie obviously didn't eat anything.<br />"So, did you enjoy the party Bill?" Asked Mike just before biting into his toast.<br />"Yeah it was good but I'm not gonna return that question because I already know you both had fun at the party or...should I say after the
party?" He replied with a wink and then a smirk.<br />Scarlett blushed like crazy as Mike nearly choked on his toast.<br />Mike tried to change the subject."So, what time is band practice?"<br />"Don't try and change the subject."<br />"What ''subject''?"<br />"Stop acting all dumb and innocent."<br />"But I am innocent!" He pouted with puppy dog eyes.<br />Scarlett giggled and said "Yeah right"<br />Mike looked at Scarlett with his puppy dog eyes. "I am!"<br />"I'm not sure if you're innocent but I know for definite that you're dumb." Billie spoke up.<br />"Ha! Look who's talkin'!"<br />"I find that very offensive." He said in a mock upset tone.<br />"You shouldn't of called me dumb then."<br />Scarlett stood up. "I really would like to listen you two argue all day but unfortunately I have to get ready."<br />"Me too." Mike sighed as he stood up off the chair.<br />Just before Mike and Scarlett walked out the kitchen door, Billie called out something.
<br />"Don't you two get up to anything else up there, we don't want Mike to be to worn out for band practice, else there is no chance of winning Battle of the Bands, k?"<br />"Yes Mother!" Mike replied sarcastically and then said under his breath, "Asshole."<br />"I heard that Michael! Don't you cheek me."<br />"Sorry Mother!"<br />Scarlett giggled at their behaviour and Mike rolled his funny.
<br />"Come on. Let's ignore him." Mike sighed and then reached for Scarlett's hand to lead her upstairs.<br />As they entered Mikes bedroom Scarlett asked, "Um...Mike do you mind if I take a shower?"<br />"Only if I can join you." He smirked.<br />"Sorry, I'm not allowed to wear you out, remember? I have to listen to your Mother." Giggled Scarlett.<br />"C'mon.....one shower won't harm."
<br />Scarlett rolled her eyes and sighed. "Teenage boys.......so fuckin' desperate!"<br />"I can't help it if my teenage boy sex drive takes over!" Mike replied cheekily, before wiggling his eyebrows.<br />Scarlett giggled "I said no."
<br />Mike pretended to whine as Scarlett cracked up laughing.<br />"Wha-?" He replied innocently after he'd finished whining.<br />"You're really that desperate, aren't ya?"<br />"Fine! Just go and take ya fuckin' shower." He said jokingly.
<br />"Awww did I upset my poor baby?" She cooed, playing along.<br />Scarlett walked over to Mike and kissed him gently on the lips while running her hand through his hair.<br />"Did that cheer you up Mikey?"<br />He didn't answer but leant forwards for another kiss. Just before their lips connected, Scarlett turned around and walked over to the door. She turned to face Mike again who was sat on the bed.<br />"I told you, I've gotta take a shower." She said, playing hard to get.<br />Mike sighed.<br />"Bye baby." She said in a little girly voice, and then she blew a kiss to Mike which brought a smile to his face.</p>
<p>As Scarlett stood in the shower and Mike lay sprawled out on his bed, they only had one thought on their minds. Last night. They also had equally huge smiles on their faces. Mike sat up as he heard someone enter his room. Obviously it was Scarlett.<br /> She walked over to the bed and kneeled on it beside Mike. She leant over and their lips gently touched. The kiss deepened until Scarlett was practically on top of Mike. Mike kissed her shoulders and neck lightly. After a few minutes, she pulled away and looked into his eyes. She smiled and climbed off him.<br />"Hey Mike, can I borrow one of your t-shirts?"<br />"Won't your parents get suspicious?"<br />"I'll wear my jacket over the top."<br />"K, I'll find one."<br />He went over to his drawers and found a t-shirt for Scarlett. Mike watched as Scarlett got dressed and he could not believe how everything about her was so beautiful. <br />"You're so beautiful." Mike said quietly.<br />"I'm not."<br />"You are to me." <br />Scarlett couldn't help but smile. That was the sweetest thing anyone had said to her. <br />"Thanks." She smiled as she put her make-up on.<br />"It's true."<br />Scarlett blushed."Stop it..."<br />"I'm only telling you the truth Scarlz."<br />She kissed him gently.
<br />"Well, I've gotta go." She told him in a sad tone.<br />Mike sighed. "Yeah, I'll walk you home."</p>
<p>After Scarlett had said bye to Billie, they walked hand in hand all the way to Scarlett's house in silence. As they reached her driveway Scarlett turned to face Mike. They kissed just for a few seconds.<br />"Thanks for last night, I really enjoyed it. "Scarlett told him.<br />"So did I."<br />"Well, Bye."<br />"Bye."
<br />"I'll call you."<br />"Ok, I hope everything goes well with your parents."
<br />Scarlett blew a kiss and walked up the drive. She opened the door to her house. It was ten minutes to ten. Straight away her parents came down in their pyjamas.<br />"Where have you been?!" her mom burst out straight away.<br />"You told us you were baby sitting! Why have you been out all night?!" her Dad continued.<br />"I was baby sitting" she answered them "It was just....well...I had to look after the kids all night."<br />"What?!"<br />"The car broke down!" she blurted out.<br />"The car broke down?" <br />"Yes, and Mr and Mrs. Watkins only got out of the party at 2:30 last night. Then the car broke
down, but it was too far for them to walk, so they....had to call the.....ermm..."
<br />"Car mechanics?" her dad finished for her.<br />"Yeah, exactly."<br />"So what time did they get back?" her dad continued to question.<br />"Like...4 o'clock-ish." Scarlett was struggling to keep her voice straight.<br />"Well why didn't you come back then?" <br />"Because, I didn't want to disturb you all, so I just slept on the sofa."<br />No one spoke for a few seconds.
<br />"Look, you can phone him and ask him if you like, he'll tell you exactly the same as what I've just said."<br />
"Well I don't want to disturb him, but if something happens again, then just come home anyway, okay?"<br />She nodded.<br />"Can I go now?" Scarlett asked.
<br />Her Mum nodded. Scarlett ran up the stairs and into her room. She flopped down on her bed and thought about last night.</p>
<br />"Morning gorgeous." he replied to her.<br />Her eyes were still closed but she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him onto her. They both laughed and Mike began to kiss her, just between her neck and chest. She finally opened her eyes and turned towards the clock.
