Michelle's POV

Lovino and I have been meeting up after school for the past three days now. Ever since that day, We have done nothing but keep each other company to the point everyone I knew was calling me congratulating me on finding someone just for me. Lovino and I stayed at my house after school when I noticed that my phone was flashing.

"Wow I think I have four messages already," I said looking at my phone next to me. Lovino looked over my shoulder trying to see the screen. I played the one from Antonio and soon regretted it since it was from Francis and Gilbert too….

Hola Lovi! I heard from Francis about you and Michelle are dating now and that's just so cute! Que linda! He's still not better than the awesome me! Mon dieu Gil give it a rest… I am so glad that my dear little Michelle has become a woman~ I am sure you have had some playtime with Lovino too~ especially- MESSAGE DELETED

I looked up at Lovino who had a twisted look on his face. One that mostly read "you don't want to hear that and neither do I" in a way. I knew Francis for a while now and I knew exactly what Lovino meant. I nodded at him and went down the list. Then I noticed that Roderich called me too and I instantly knew why he was calling.

Guten morgen Michelle. I hope you haven't forgotten about the music lesson like last week Wednesday as well as last week Friday as well. You do understand that your grades in mu- Oh don't listen to Roderich Chelly~ It was only two classes and I know that you don't see Lovino that much in school since you two are in different classes. You need to lighten up a little Roddy. But her performance needs to be rehearsed! But that doesn't mean that she can't have a little fun here and there you know... MESSAGE DELETED

I quickly deleted that voicemail following with a sigh. I knew Elizabeta meant well, but honestly I should've been at the rehearsal on those days, but what was I supposed to say to Lovino when I really didn't want to go?

"If you had your rehearsals, I would understand why you would need to go," Lovino sounded a little sad, almost like he was blaming himself for making me miss rehearsals.

"Don't worry okay?" I said slightly forcing a smile, it's nothing really, and I perfected the routine two weeks ago." While Lovino looked a little shocked, I played the next voicemail, giggling to myself.

Yo Chelly! I heard from Francis that you're dating the bitter Italian! Is that true? I really want to win this bet with Maddie and he said that you are dating Lovino. But I have my money on Feliciano honestly! I keep telling you Al, she is with Lovino. No way! I know I'm right because I'm the hero! Actually I got a text from Michelle just now telling me about Lovino planning a date with her already… SERIOUSLY?! LET ME SEE! Gah! Al, stop that for a second! WHAT NO WAY I NEVER LOSE A BET! Well you did and you owe me ten dollars. MESSAGE DELETED

We couldn't help but laugh hysterically, knowing how that argument was going to end. Honestly those two should never bet if this is how it would end every single time. We came to the last voicemail, looking at the screen, puzzled.

"Hey there is one from Feliciano…" Lovino said seeing the first voicemail on the screen. I pressed play and put it on speaker so that we could both hear it.

Ciao Michelle! I really hope that you and fratello are doing fine! I noticed that he comes to visit you all the time so I am guessing he's happy~ I wanted to let you in on a little secret… I have been helping him along in trying to get him to notice how cute you really were and getting him to like you! I know it was a trick but I had a feeling that you two would be great together~ so please don't try to kill me for it please? I want you two to be happy~ Knowing fratello I think he's listening too and I hope you won't hate me for it…. Ciao.

"…" For once, Lovino and I couldn't find the right words to say about this voicemail.

"So it was part of a plan…?" Lovino said dumbfounded, "I knew he was up to something when it seemed like he was purposely trying to piss me off with his 'innocent advances'." Jeez and I thought Feli couldn't come up with something so genius but apparently he can and he fooled us both. I leaned on Lovino's shoulder starting to feel a little tired from all of the hectic problems of turning in the project that Lovino helped me on so I could finish it on time and I looked at my music and rehearsed on my own at least twenty times and dealt with Arthur's bullshit yet again. I sighed and drifted to sleep, forgetting that I was nuzzling Lovino in the process.

Lovino's POV

Just like in my dream, I watched her innocent and peaceful face as she slept. Every time she nuzzled me, however, made me feel a little embarrassed. I won't be able to handle this much longer if she keeps nuzzling me like this… I tried to lay her over to the other side on the pillow, but she held onto me and pulled me down with her. I made sure I didn't crush her, but… I'm a little too close this way… I was so close to her face that I could feel her breath tickle my cheek. I felt my cheeks burn as an idea popped in my head. Why don't I kiss her just this once…? I leaned over her and covered her lips with mine, kissing her sweetly. I leaned away from her to look at her once more, but I was met with tired brown eyes and a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Lovino?" She said tiredly, "Did you just… kiss me in my sleep?"

"U-umm… well…" I studdered, tumbling into broken Italian. I could feel my face reddened as I tried to come up with some reason as to why it happened. As soon as I tried to say something else I was cut off by her swift turn of the tables. Now she was hovering over me pinning me down. Okay she is a little strong… she leaned down and returned my kiss in full force. I wiggled my hands out of her grip and wrapped them around her waist. As soon as I was starting to lean up, she slithered her arms around my neck. I left butterfly kisses from her jaw to her neck and bit down gently.

"A-aaaah…." She moaned out loud, exciting me more. I kissed down to her chest while taking off her dress, but as soon as I started she stopped me.

"Wait Lovino," she said trying to catch her breath, "I-I'm not ready for this just yet." As soon as she said that, her phone goes off. I let go of her and tried to calm myself. D-Damn she really is that innocent… that just makes me want her more… No, I can't. I have to wait until she is ready but I could've sworn her pinning me down like that was an invitation… My thoughts were interrupted as soon as I heard her voice cracking in the other room.

"I-I didn't realize what time it was… n-no p-please don't do that! I need the good grades so that I can pass the class! Arthur please…" She started crying and I could feel my anger welling up inside me. Who the fuck does he think he is and how is her grades controlled by him anyway? As soon as she hung up, she came back to me, eyes red and teary.

"Please don't look at me like that…" I said, feeling sad as well. I pulled her into a hug and immediately she gripped my shirt and started to cry again. I rubbed her back gently to comfort her, and for some reason, I started to feel tears fall from my face as well. Whatever happens, I will always be here to comfort you…
