I was freaking out. I was freaking out to the point where I paced around the room. And when I pace around the room, I'm freaking out.
I replayed the whole scene that just happened five minutes ago in my head over and over, and I kept asking myself all these questions.
Why'd you do it, Lei? What was that for? Do you like Mike? Will you two be the new Mike and Ike, but your name's actually Lei and--Shut up.
Replay that in your head one more time:
All of a sudden, I leaned over, grabbed Mike's face, and kissed him right then and there. He was stunned at first, but then got into it.
I leaned more until we were both laying on the couch, me on top of him. It was a full-blown make out for a full minute until he stopped.
We both realized what just happened and both apologized breathlessly at the same time. Me for starting this, him for ending it.
"Oh my God," I stressed the word God as I fell down into the couch. Then I quickly got back up, as it reminded me of what we just did.
I paced around again until I heard the sound of a room key being swiped. I raced to my bed and threw the covers over me. I tried controlling my breath when I heard the girls.
"Lei! We got you some takeout," Carly yelled as she entered.
I heard the sounds of footsteps getting closer, and I closed my eyes and tried to breathe as slow as possible.
"Oh, she's asleep. We must've worn her out with the shopping," Sophie half whispered.
"Or maybe," Opal giggled, "she got a little Mike action!"
I sat up quickly, and stupidly, and screamed, "No I didn't!"
They all cracked up as they knew that would "wake me up".
"I knew you weren't asleep," Opal grinned.
I rolled my eyes and demanded my takeout as they discussed going to the club tomorrow.
"You should come Lei! We're all gonna be there, even the guys," Mona offered. I nodded and she clapped her hands.
The only thing that could distract me from that whole situation that went down was food. I groaned in happiness as I munched on the Orange chicken.
After we ate, I decided not to go out of the suite until we went to the club. The girls of course decided to go out again, while I stayed behind and slept the night away.
* * *
The next day, nothing really went on between the time I got up to the time to get ready for the club.
It consisted of 3 quarts of cinnamon and pumpkin ice cream, and numerous of movies. The girls had endless energy as they and the guys went shopping (keep in mind, the guys were forced), and after almost an hour of begging me to go with them, I ignored them all or gave them the finger. Carly of course decided to blame it on my "cranberry waterfall" which of course was code for lady problems.
Jacob and Anthony had the audacity to try and carry me out of the room, concerned about me, but since I screamed that I was bleeding, they dropped me and ran like a bat out of hell. Worked every time. Not that I was actually on my CW.
It was six o clock, and it was time to get dressed. I was merely being a baby about the whole situation, but what could I say? I was only 18, for Pete's sake!
I decided to go with something light and wore my sparkly strapless black romper. I was so lucky to have found this in Vegas. I mean, sparkle is their thing, right?
I paired it with some black flats and straightened my golden locks. I wore little makeup-- just some lipgloss and eyeliner.
I sighed as I finished getting ready. I hoped I wasn't going into depression. But over Mike? Seriously?
I honestly didn't want to go to the club, but after spending the last couple days alone, I guess the gang deserved me going with them. I mean, we only had a few more days until we were leaving anyway.
Right before I was about to leave the suite, Elliot texted me to bring some extra clothes for "a surprise". Whatever that meant.
I decided to bring some anyway, having no clue what we were gonna do after the club.
I headed out with my purse, phone, and beach bag filled with clothes.
By the time I got downstairs to the lobby, Mona was waiting in her car with a huge smile on her face. I eyed her suspiciously while she waved me over.
"Lei, lets go! They're having the best buffet there," she squealed.
"A buffet? At a club?"
"Uh hel-lo, a buffet of boys!"
I got in the car and pointed a finger in her face. "If you want to still be my best friend, don't ever say that again. You sound like Jessi."
She put her hands up in mock surrender and smirked, "Oh right, forgot you and Mike have a thing."
I blushed furiously at the topic of Mike while Mona cracked up. "What, you two have sex or something?"
To that my stomach dropped, and she must've noticed my more anxious reaction because of her loud gasp.
I quickly realized, and screamed, "No it's not like that!!"
She laughed even harder as I punched her in the arm. "Let's just go to the stupid club and get it over with," I grumbled.
* * *
The trashy electronic music's bass pounded around the club as colorful lights flashed on and off towards the dance floor. Mona said that we were gonna meet the gang at one of the lounges. As we weaved through the sweaty, bouncy people, I spotted Blake talking to some girl trying to grind up on him. I laughed out loud, and when Mona gave me a strange look, I shook my head.
We finally reached a glass door and opened it to find the gang pigging out.
"Hey girls!" Opal cheered with a mouthful of chips.
I waved, but I felt my eyes looking for Mike. Opal must've noticed because she laughed, "your hubby's on the dance floor. Let's go!"
Some of the gang file out while the rest stayed behind. I saw David chatting it up with Emily and smirked.
I was soon pushed out and was forced by Mona and Opal towards Mike. I reminded them harshly that I could walk myself, and when that didn't work, I ended up bumping into the Devil himself.
"Out of the way Blake, Lei's trying to find her hubby," Opal sneered.
He looked at me, winked, and chuckled at Opal as he walked away. What was that about? Knowing him, that could've been anything.
Anyway, we finally reached Mike, and when he saw me, his eyes widened slightly.
"Have fun," Mona winked.
I turned around abruptly and yelled, "Wait aren't you gonna--" and they left.
Dammit.
I turned back around to a frowning Mike. I was all of a sudden pushed into the dark unisex bathroom. Wonder why it's designed like that...sarcasm intended.
I was literally being pushed around all day.
Anyway, I dusted myself off and grumbled to myself as Mike stood in front of me with his arms on my shoulders and me against the wall.
"You can let go now," I frowned.
"Why did you kiss me Lei?"
Dammit. Why was he so straight forward?
"Maybe if you let go, I'll actually answer the question."
He sighed and let go. My eyes flicked over to the ajar door and made a run for it. Unfortunately since the bathroom was so small, Mike easily took two steps back and pressed his back against the door before I made it out.
I also unfortunately wasn't ready for that, so I ended up colliding with Mike's chest. He grabbed my arms to steady me as a reflex and immediately let me go and crossed his arms.
"I knew this would happen, so I'm not letting you out until it answer the question."
I of course made a smart remark by saying, "This is against the law. I could press charges for harassment."
He rolled his eyes. Yea, I wouldn't do that.
"Just answer the question. You would've been back out by now."
I put my hands on my hips and scoffed, "Well, why did you kiss back?"
He seemed a little taken aback and went with the typical line, "I asked you first."
"Well I asked a totally different question!"
Then he went on by explaining that e wouldn't be able to answer his question if I couldn't answer mine. Good point.
I sighed and finally gave in. "I honestly don't know why I kissed you, Mike. It kinda just...happened."
He sighed too and rubbed his face. "Remember when we made that pact about us not liking each other? Did that change?"
I thought about all the memories we had, up until making the pact all in a split second.
"Mike?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think I might be in love with you?"
