Chapter 51

There was movement behind her and Michelle groaned in protest. Whatever the movement was, it was waking her up and that was not what she wanted. She wanted to remain in her comfy position for ever. The movement stopped finally and for a moment she began to sleep soundly again, that was until she heard someone's voice.

"I'm sorry mom, really I am. I didn't mean to fall asleep. We were just watching TV…You know nothing happened mom…mom?…Hi dad."

Michelle eyes slowly opened as she realized who it was talking. With her eyes open she looked around to see the morning light washing through the glass door. Sitting up she turned to see Kevin pacing in the mini kitchen. Apparently the movement she felt earlier was him getting off the couch. With a small smile Michelle remained silent as Kevin continued to talk.

"I'm heading home right now dad…I'll be back on time I promise…I'm really sorry for making you guys worry…I know dad…Love you, bye." Hanging up the phone Kevin walked back to the couch before taking a seat next to Michelle. Her small smile turned downward at the saddened look on his face.

"I'm sorry I got you in trouble." Kevin let out a chuckle and she sat staring confused.

"Oh I didn't get into all that much trouble. My parent's trust me, they just woke up in the morning and I wasn't in my bed. They kinda freaked out a bit, but everything will be okay."

"Wow you're lucky. I know I'd be grounded if I fell asleep at a guy's place and didn't come back home that night." Laughing again he nodded.

"I'll be getting a stern talking to I'm sure. But," he leaned forward, "I think it was worth it."

Their lips pressed against each other; pulling back Michelle smiled up at Kevin. She hadn't thought she would ever be able to fall asleep in his arms again while they were together for the summer. With his family around, in her mind it just wasn't a possibility. She was however happy to get one last chance though. Sleeping in Kevin's arms always seemed to much better than sleeping alone in her big bed.

Kevin stood up first, before holding out his hand for Michelle to grab. With lazy effort, she let him do all the work in pulling her up into a standing position. Shaking his head they walked to the front door. Though it was unspoken, they both wanted to stay together a bit longer but they knew that wasn't really an option. Reaching the door, Kevin wrapped his arms around Michelle's waist.

"I'll give you a call once the meeting and everything is over. Dinner at my place sound okay?"

"Yea that sound's great. I love dinner at your place. There's some good company there." A grin grew on Kevin's face. "Joe is hilarious." The grin turned into a pout and Michelle just laughed as he tried to pull away. Instead she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer.

"Thanks for that, 'cause I love hear girls say that type of thing regarding my brother. Here I was thinking you liked my company."

"Oh I do, but I can have your company without being over at your place." Rising to her toes, Michelle gave Kevin a deep kiss. "You better get going before you get into anymore trouble. I do want to see you more this trip. I'd hate it if I couldn't because you got grounded."

After several more kisses and a couple more goodbyes Kevin finally walked out of the apartment and down the hall. Closing the door Michelle leaned against it with a smile on her face. Licking her lips, she pushed herself standing again and lazily walked to her bed. Flopping down on the bed she curled up comfortably closing her eyes. As she drifted back to sleep her mind was filled with the memories of the night before.

Kevin leaned his head back on the chair as Nick and Joe chatted away. They had a few minutes rest before they were called into the fitting room to try on a few styles before the final style for each character was picked. Glancing over at their older brother, Joe and Nick smirked.

"Tired? I thought you would have gotten enough sleep last night."

Most people wouldn't believe it, but Nick was just as much of a joker as his brothers. Only difference was, he kept it in the family. Kevin's head slowly lifted up and he glared jokingly at his younger brother. Nick and Joe hadn't said a single thing about him spending the night at Michelle's place. In fact all that happened was the talk with his parents. They didn't go as far as saying they were disappointed, but they did mention they thought he knew better than to at least call home. The bonus of having parents that trusted their children, they knew nothing was going to happen.

After the talk with his parents, Kevin was under the impression he was off the hook. His brother's weren't baiting him and for the entire read through, he though they weren't going to. Shaking his head as his brothers laughed, Kevin realized he should have known better. They were just waiting until they got him alone. Joe shook his head at the look on Kevin's face.

"Did you honestly think we wouldn't mention it? I mean come on Kev. You fell asleep at your girlfriend's place…where you were alone. Do you know us at all? To be honest, I knew at 3am you weren't home. But I figured why ruin your 'sleep'" he added the air quotes. "Mom and dad could worry in the morning."

"Well thanks for your consideration Joe."

Before anyone else could say anything the stylist walked into their waiting room. After telling the brothers their wardrobes were ready, she led the three down the hall of the studio to three small rooms next to each other. Each door labeled with one of their names. Stepping into the first room Kevin took a moment to glance around at the clothes that had been picked out for him to try on.

One of the things he could never fully get use to was not being able to fully pick out clothes for himself. Kevin had his own style and true the various stylists they had knew that and took it into consideration when picking out his clothes. It was just strange that he didn't really go shopping for himself all that much.

Shaking it off, Kevin took his time to try on the various clothes. The studio wanted their opinion on each of the outfits because after all they were suppose to be playing a version of themselves. After pulling on one of the final pairs of pants, Kevin grabbed a shirt and jacket combo. Taking the jacket off the hanger he stared at it for a minute, it clearly was in the wrong room. Jacket was a size too small and screamed Nick. Not bothering to put a shirt on, he walked out of his fitting room and knocked on Nick's door.

"I do believe they gave me this by accident." Kevin spoke as the door opened and Nick stepped forward. He handed over the jacket to his younger brother.

"Oh thanks Kev…" Nick's voice stopped as he stared at his older brother. His head shook slowly unable to suppress the small smirk on his face. "What may I ask is that?"

Nick pointed at Kevin's hip. With a confused look Kevin looked down and saw peaking just above his pants the hickey Michelle had left there. His cheeks began to flush rapidly as he head turned back to his younger brother who was laughing hysterically. Kevin grabbed the waist of the pants and pulled them up trying to completely cover the bruise before anyone else noticed. Despite his red cheeks Kevin glared at his younger brother.

"You can't tell anyone. I swear if you do…"

"Oh calm down, it's not like its Joe who found out. That's when you are in some real danger." Nick had yet to stop laughing. "I won't let tell anyone, don't worry." Kevin let out a sign of relief.

"Mich is gonna be joining us for dinner, try not to…"

"Smirk suggestively at her like I know you have a hickey on your hip?" Kevin nodded. "I'll try my best."

Chuckling softly, Kevin gave his younger brother a nod before turning back to walk to his own dressing room. Nick had a way of being far more discrete about things then their brother Joe. It was one of the things Kevin always admired about his younger brother, he had a way of being far more mature than any one else his age. As Kevin closed the door to his dressing room he heard his younger brother call out to him.

"So have you told her yet?"
