morning came quicker than she expected, and she woke up to michael's arms wrapped around her waist. she took a moment and admired his features. what were they? were they dating, boyfriend/girlfriend? thoughts clouded her mind.

she was already in love with michael, but did he feel the same way? michael felt that somebody was staring at him. it was lavie when he opened his eyes. "what are doing sweet girl?" michael asked, morning voice showing.

she blushed.

"no, don't hide from me, show yourself." he whined playfully. "sorry mikey." michael fell head over heels for her, when she called him mikey. he loved it and loved her. but was he going to fast?

both of them laid in bed for the next two hours, not wanting to get up. eventually they did when luke yelled up for lunch. they missed breakfast, but they could at least have lunch. pizza was in the making for lunch though.

even though it was going to be a lazy day, they still changed into clean clothes for the day. michael grabbed lavie's hand gently, intertwining their fingers and pulled her down the stairs. luke was there, welcoming his sister back.

lavie saw luke's sister she presumed, followed by greeting someone named "calum." she then saw someone else, kiss luke. his girlfriend perhaps. finally she saw someone kiss someone else. she didn't know these people, so she hid behind michael.

michael noticed this, and squeezed her hand. reassuring that it was okay and everyone would love her. she was an extraovert on the outside, but an introvert at heart. people started staring when michael left her to get the pizza they bought last night.

"briar! that was our pizza!" she heard michael yell. "i can't help what the baby wants, plus you can't say no to kelsey." "what's going on here?" "cal, she stole my pizza." she heard michael whine. "you're always on her side." michael whined playfully.

"michael, you are a grown ass man, stop whining." cal laughed, then playfully slapped his arm. she then saw luke go in there along with someone named 'karson' then another girl, named 'leigh.' she realized that one person was not in there, ashton. one of michael's friends.

she then felt a presence on the side of her, and a little whine. it was ashton, with a baby.

"i'm ashton, and you are?" he had this sense of positivity in his voice. "i'm lavie." i smiled back to him, all while turning to face him. i saw mikey in my peripherial vision and he looked like he was coming back. "how did you and michael meet?" ash asked. "by texting. he thought he was texting you, but somehow texted me instead. like a wrong number situation."

"yeah, michael does that a lot." he laughed and michael came up behind him and playfully slapped his arm. "hey!" "or hi." "michael you are so immature." he rolled his eyes. "just coming over to see my girl."

"i see." ashton smiled. "so michael, how old is lavie?" ashton asked. "uhh probably too young for me." he grinned sheepishly. "are you dating a minor?" "lavie's 17, for right now, she'll turn 18 soon."

the baby in ashton's arms was calling my name. well in her movements and little whines. "can i hold her?" i asked, probably interrupting their conversation. "and so she speaks. of course you can, just be careful alright?" i nodded and ashton carefully transferred her over to me.

once she got in my arms i couldn't help but smile, and giggle. she was perfect. "what's her name?" i asked. "that's kelsey. she's a little ball of sunshine." she heard another voice.

calum stood in the doorway. "cal come on in, don't just stand there." michael called out. cal rolled his eyes and walked into the living room, and slapped michael on the head. michael rolled his eyes, and focused his attention on lavie.

"you're beautiful." lavie mumbled to kelsey. kelsey giggled out in response, and held lavie's finger, as much as she could. calum watched the interaction, between his little girl and michael's soon to be girlfriend.

and with that calum approved.

it's long, but i loved the cute interaction with kelsey and lavie 🥰

do you?
