One Shots and Imagines

Sweet Sixteen//Mikey Murphy

“Happy birthday babe,” Mikey said, coming up behind me and giving me a hug.

“Thanks Mikey,” I smiled, turning and returning the hug.

“Now we’re finally the same age! No more old man jokes for a few months,” He joked, his smile taking up his whole face.

Mikey was a few months older than me because he was born in May and I was born in October. He has always called me the baby of our group of friends because I am the youngest so to retaliate, I started calling him old man because he is the oldest.

“No more baby jokes either,” I laughed, kissing him lightly on the lips.

“What’s your plan for today? Sixteen is a big birthday. Going to burn down the town? Start a riot?” He asked seriously.

“Hahaha. No. In case you’ve forgotten, today is Friday which means we have classes to go to today. After that, I was thinking of a relaxing evening with my wonderful boyfriend where we just watch Netflix and cuddle,” I said.

“Sounds like a plan-y, Dani,” Mikey smirked at his rhyme.

The first bell rang, signaling that we only had a few minutes to get to our first period otherwise we would be late.

“Goodbye Mikey. See you at lunch,” I said, giving him a quick hug before heading in the direction of my AP Literature class.

“Bye Dani. See you later,” He said, blowing me a kiss.

“Come on Dani. You will see him at lunch,” My best friend, Alexis G. Zall, said as she walked next to me. “Oh and happy sweet sixteen!” She squealed. “I am so excited for us to hang out tomorrow.”

“Me too,” I said. “My parents said that it was okay for you, Mikey, and Luke to stay the night too.”

“That’s so cool. Just promise me that you and Mikey won’t have sex with me and Luke in the same room,” She joked.

“Of course not,” I laughed. “They said that I could either have a huge party or have a few close friends spend the day at Great Adventure and spend the night. When I chose the latter, that was one of the first conditions.”

School was a blur after that. People in all of my classes said happy birthday to me and Mikey, Alexis, and Luke even got the whole hallway to sing to me on our way to lunch.

Finally, the school day was over and I walked out to Mikey’s car and waited for him. A few minutes later, he came out.

“Hey babe, how was your day so far?” He asked, kissing me softly.

“Amazing, but it’s only going to get better,” I smiled as we got into his car and headed off in the direction of my house.

“Oh, and why is that?” Mikey asked, pretending to be confused.

“Because I’m about to watch Netflix and cuddle with my crazy boyfriend,” I said, leaning over the console and kissing his cheek.

“Please don’t do that to me while I’m driving,” He begged, turning onto my street. “I don’t want to crash because I’m trying to get you back.”

He turned into my driveway and pulled into his usual spot. I noticed that neither of my parents were home, which was odd. We got out and he grabbed me by my waist and threw me over his shoulder. He ran up the stairs and stole my key out of my pocket to unlock the door.

When he got it unlocked, he continued to carry me upstairs until we got to my room. He took me and tossed me on my bed, then proceeded to jump on top of me and kiss me all over my face and neck.

“Mikey,” I gasped for air from all of the laughing. “Mikey, what are you doing?” I giggled.

The kisses ceased for a moment as he thought of an answer.

“Uhhhh….” He laughed as he flopped down next to me, clearly worn out from carrying me and all of the kisses.

“You are a piece of work,” I laughed as I looked at him.

“I know,” He grinned back at me. “Hey do you want to watch Netflix and cuddle now?”

“Yes! Let’s go,” I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him down the stairs with me.

After about five minutes of arguing about what to watch, we settled for my one of my favorite movies, Revenge of the Bridesmaids. With a blanket across our laps, we started the movie. It was a great movie and Mikey spent a lot of time playing with my hair and planting kisses on my cheek and neck, trying to distract me from the movie.

We alternated picking movies until he pulled out a DVD from his bag. It was Crazy, Stupid, Love. Mikey and I absolutely loved this movie.

“I thought this one would be a good movie to watch,” He said, putting his arm around my shoulders and pulling me closer.

I leaned my head on his chest as the movie started. We kissed a lot during the movie, but at some point, I fell asleep.

I woke up to my phone screen lit up in my face. I reached to flip it over, but I couldn’t because something was holding me hostage.

I noticed that Mikey had fallen asleep too and the movie had stopped playing. He had his arms wrapped around me. I rolled over to face him, which was no easy feat. I planted a soft kiss on his lips and went back to sleep.

The next time I woke up, it was morning. It was about 8 o’clock and Mikey was already awake. He had pushed all of my hair away from my face and was leaving soft kisses on my face and neck. I opened my eyes slowly, thoroughly enjoying Mikey’s company.

“Good morning beautiful,” He said, kissing my lips this time. “Alexis and Luke said they would be over at ten.”

“Cool. Do you want to go for breakfast after we shower?” I asked, yawning.

“Of course. You can shower first,” He said, getting up and stretching.

We showered quickly and then headed off to IHOP because we wanted chocolate chip pancakes.

By the time we got back from breakfast, Alexis and Luke were waiting on my steps.

“It’s about time you got here,” Alexis said.

“Sorry. We were out to breakfast,” Mikey said, letting go of my hand so I could unlock the house.

“Come on! Great Adventure awaits!” Luke yelled, already grabbing Mikey’s keys and getting into his car.

I grabbed my drawstring bag and Mikey’s hand and we were off. My parents had given me the four tickets plus an extra $100 for food and other stuff.

The trip didn’t take horribly long. Traffic was bearable and we got there by 11 o’clock. Luke and Alexis took off in the direction of the first ride they saw while Mikey and I walked a bit slower, taking in all of the sights of the park. It was crowded because this weekend was the last weekend the park would be open before it got too cold out.

It was such an incredible day. We rode all of the rides and played lots of games. Mikey even pulled that stereotypical move where the guy plays the game and wins a prize, but he gives it to his girlfriend.

“Aww Mikey,” Cooed Alexis and Luke when he handed me the stuffed pig he had won.

The day flew by and before we knew it, it was time to go. It was ten o’clock by the time we actually managed to escape the parking lot and get onto the highway. The ride home was pretty painless too in terms of traffic.

We got to my house at eleven. Luke and Alexis grabbed their overnight stuff from Luke’s trunk and brought it inside my house. We changed into our pajamas, watched Mean Girls, and went to bed.

 Mikey and I were under my huge comforter that I had dragged down from my room and Alexis and Luke were in their sleeping bags.

“Good birthday babe?” Mikey mumbled, sleep slurring his speech slightly.

“The best,” I said as we fell asleep.
