Chapter 24

Ariel's P.O.V.

"Come on hurry up" Gemma groans as I got changed.

"Calm down I had to take a shower first I don't want sand on me" I say putting on my floral skater dress on.

"It doesn't take that long Alex and Michael are waiting downstairs" She says sorting out her hair.

"You're making this look as if we're getting ready for prom" I joked putting on my flats.

"Well this kinda is I mean me with Alexis and you with lover boy Michael" Gemma says winking at me.

I laugh and shook my head. "You're so funny"

"You didn't deny it" Gemma says shocked. "Do you like Michael?"

"Pshh no" I said looking away. "But-..."

"Oh there's a but" Gemma squeals.

"First of all weren't you scared of Michael in the first place and told me not to make him upset?" I ask her.

"Yeah but he's actually a cool guy" Gemma says.

"Anyways back on the beach when we were both on the water he asked me something" I said. "He asked me would it be bad for me to kiss him instead of making up a lie every time someone says we should kiss"

"He's not wrong" Gemma replies.

I frown. "Really?"

"I mean yeah you're gonna run out of excuses sooner or later so why don't practise kissing him now so you don't have to be awkward about it" She explains.

"You think I should kiss him next time?" I ask.

"I mean yeah" Gemma says.

Me kissing Michael.

I shook my head. "I can't imagine kissing him no it doesn't seem right"

"Yeah but when it actually happens, you will be feeling wonderful like Ariel and Eric" She says.

"Oh ha ha"

"Jesus girls how long does it take?" I heard Michael shout.

"Shut the fuck up and wait" I shouted back before looking at Gemma. "You're expecting me to kiss this guy?"

Gemma laughs. "Yeah"

I roll my eyes before grabbing my phone. "Well let's go"

We walk downstairs and saw Michael and Alexis standing there talking.

"Guys we're ready" I said smiling.

"You look amazing" Alexis says hugging Gemma.

"Thanks" Gemma says blushing a bit.

I looked at Michael and he was looking back at me. I pull a silly face and he does the same.

"What are you waiting for Michael compliment your girlfriend" Alexis says whilst her arm was around Gemma.

"He doesn't have to" I mumbled.

"It's his duty" Gemma says smiling. I hated her right now.

I turned to Michael who looked at me before sighing.

"You look pretty" He says.

"Thanks" I said.

"Now kiss her cheek" Alexis says.

I heard Michael groan quietly before leaning down and pressing his lips on my cheek for a split second before smiling at me.

"Cute" Gemma says laughing.
