Twelve: Goodnight N Go.
"Lately, all I want is you on top of me
You know where your hands should be
So baby, won't you come show me?"
Date: Sunday, October 13th, 1985
"Mike!" El made sure to keep her voice low to ensure she wouldn't wake anyone up.
"Mmmmmiiiike," she repeated.
"Oh my God, Mike!"
Mike jolted awake, startled by El shaking his shoulder. He was exhausted from the night's events and fell asleep shortly after the movie started. He felt bad that he nodded off, he was looking forward to having some alone time with El.
"Oh, El, I'm so sorry. I was just so tired, I didn't mean to—" his words were cut short by El's soft lips meeting his own. He pulled away after a moment, a lopsided smile on his face, "What time is it?"
El glanced around the room, "One two four five...12:45."
Mike was thrilled that it wasn't too late, they could sneak off to El's room if she still wanted to. Of course he wanted to, he'd been looking forward to it since she mentioned the idea.
"Mike, are you coming or not?" El snapped to get his attention. He looked to see her standing next to him with her hand out. He accepted her help and pulled her into a hug. She hugged him back and smiled into his chest, "Come on, we're wasting time."
Mike didn't need to be told twice, he was eager to find out what his girl had in mind. With fingers intertwined, the couple made their way across the room as quietly as they could. Mike felt a rush of confidence once they were both in the room, away from the others. While El was locking the door, just in case someone else woke up, Mike wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and pulled her as close to himself as he could. El gasped at the sudden embrace, but melted into it nonetheless. Mike never hugged her like this before, and she would be lying if she claimed she didn't enjoy it.
She sighed in contentment from the close contact before tilting her chin up to look at her tall boyfriend. He looked down at her with a soft and loving grin on his freckled face. El brought her hand up and tapped his nose with a small giggle. This action elicited a chuckle from Mike, who leaned down and kissed her forehead. El spun around and wrapped her arms around Mike's waist, her chin on his chest, staring up into his gentle eyes.
"Hi," El murmured.
"Hi beautiful," Mike whispered back, "What do you wanna do?"
El pondered his question for a moment. What did she wanna do? There were many options and she wasn't quite sure which she wanted to try first. While she waited for everyone to drift off to sleep, El was imagining what they could do together. She really wanted to sit on his lap again and kiss him and feel how much he wanted her. El adored feeling him so close, it made that burning sensation in her stomach stronger than ever.
"El?" Mike asked, his voice gentle and concerned, bringing her out of her daze. She blinked a few times to regain focus. "I asked what you wanted to do but you didn't answer," Mike continued.
"Sorry," she apologized, "I was thinking but couldn't choose, so you decide."
Mike had definitely thought about what he could do with her, but he wasn't sure if she was ready for all the things he envisioned. He imagined kissing her everywhere she would allow, especially the region just south of her collarbone. His raging hormones made him desperate to see the area that was making her figure more curvy every time he saw her.
"How 'bout we just do what we did earlier? Like, for the dare?" Mike decided to stay safe and go with something they'd already done, figuring if she wanted to do more she would ask. He really was fine with anything, as long as it was with El.
"Sure," she smiled as he made his way to her bed and got comfortable, his back against the wall. El climbed on top of him, positioning her hands around his neck whilst Mike put his hands on her waist. He was about to bring his hand up to El's face but she had other ideas.
"You can put your hand here if you want..." she guided his hand to her chest. Mike swore that his heart stopped right then and there. He couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming or if it was really happening. El giggled at his awe-struck expression and leaned in slowly, their mouths meeting in the middle.
The once kiss became even more heated as El's hands slowly traveled from Mike's hair, down his neck and shoulders to his abdomen. The sensation of her fingers trailing over his shirt was making Mike want more and more, wishing there was no fabric between her hands and his skin.
As if El read his mind, she gently tugged at the hem of his shirt. She broke the kiss, but kept close enough that her lips brushed against his as she spoke, "You can take this off, if you want."
Mike didn't reply, too lost in the moment to even try. He tugged the navy garment off and tossed it to the side. He brought his one hand to the side of El's face, her slightly swollen lips drawing him in for more. However, El pushed him back a bit, her palms flat against his chest. Mike slowly retracted his hand with his brows furrowed.
El giggled at his confusion, "Do you want me to take mine off, too?"
Mike's eyebrows shot up, "Uh, yeah, sure...only if you want to, though. I-I don't want you to feel like you have to just because I did..."
El put her finger to his mouth to stop his rambling, "I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to."
El took a deep breath before pulling her shirt over her head in one swift motion. Mike's jaw dropped, his eyes blazing with desire. No matter how hard the slack-jawed boy tried, he could not remove his gaze from the baby pink lace adoring her chest.
"See something you like, Michael?" El taunted with a smirk and an arched brow.
His eyes darted back to hers. He was embarrassed that he was staring for so long but he couldn't help it, he was finally getting to see a preview of what he had been dying to see for the past month or so.
His hands seemed to develop a mind of their own as they crawled over her hands, up her arms and onto her shoulders. The way he slowly caressed her skin made El shudder.
Mike had an extreme boost in confidence when he noticed his effect on her. His hands traveled down to her chest once again. El fell against him, she grew dizzy from not being used to the contact of his palms laying where they were. He slid his hands to her rest on her back to remove them from the awkward position they were in.
She struggled to keep her head up when he started to kiss her jaw, down her neck and eventually the skin along the edges of her bralette. He continued to kiss and nip at her skin as her breathing grew more and more ragged.
A small groan was pulled from El's throat when his path of kisses reached the dip of her right collarbone. Mike smirked against her soft skin before he proceeded to nibble and gently and suck the area.
El's body was on fire. She never knew that anything could feel so incredible. Her blood rushed in her ears as she reveled in the overwhelming pleasure.
Mike pulled back a bit to catch his breath. He stared at her through heavy-lidded eyes. She gazed back at him, her hazel orbs sparkling with lust and satisfaction. Both of their faces painted with a pink blush and soft smiles.
El suddenly yawned, still recovering from the events from just moments ago.
"Tired?" Mike chuckled, tilting his head to the right and cocking a brow. He crossed his arms over his chest.
El shrugged and giggled as she crawled off of Mike's lap. Her eyes flickered down to where she was seated just moments before and didn't even try to hide the smug smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth.
Her small glance didn't go unnoticed by Mike. His face grew even hotter, wishing El hadn't seen her effect on him. He brushed it off and sunk into the bed, lying on his back.
He pulled the dainty girl next to him into his arms and held her tight. El cuddled him back and wrapped her one leg over both of his, forgetting about his problem before doing so. Her eyes shot open at the contact.
Mike's eyes clamped shut and his jaw clenched. The couple tried to ignore the tension that suddenly filled the room.
El scooted her leg up higher so her leg was resting on his stomach, not wanting to make his problem worse. Mike kissed her forehead, "Goodnight El."
"Night Mike," she mumbled into his neck.
Mike smiled softly at the girl cuddled up to him. She looked so peaceful and content. The pale moonlight dripping through the window illuminated her features, making her appear even more beautiful. His eyes fluttered shut as he drifted off to sleep with El in his arms.
He was ecstatic that she was finally getting to live a happy and normal life.
Little did he know that in only a few weeks, things would start to go downhill once again.
