Sorry for the wait. It has a busy end of the school years. Good news though I'll be able to write way more throughout the summer. Thanks for your patience with me. Enjoy! Please review and tell me if you have any ideas for chapters you would like to read! ? ﾟﾒﾜ?
There were only two weeks of summer left and Mike and El were anxious to start their last year of highschool. El was sitting at her vanity and Mike was laying on her bed. It was afternoon and they were both really bored, so Mike decided to ask El out on a date.
"El, would you like to go out tonight? I have an idea for a surprise." Mike asked.
"Sure Mike. I just need to get ready. I'm gonna go hop in the shower. I'd invite you in, but Hop is home." El said.
Mike replied, "That's okay I have to go do something real quick anyway."
He went into El's kitchen and asked to borrow some food. Mike made two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and sliced some fresh fruit. Mike got out some waters, soda, and cookies. Surprisingly, Terry had a picnic basket and blanket. He packed up the food and folded up the picnic blanket. Mike placed the basket in the fridge and took the blanket out to his car. He returned to El's room to see she was dressed and her hair was brushed.
"Can I do my makeup real quick?" She asked.
He replied, "I guess so. Even though I think you are just as pretty without it. I'll sit here and wait."
El said, "Mike, we have been over this. It is for fun and I like how I look wearing it. Wait! I have a fun idea at least fun for me."
"What's that?" Mike asked.
El answered, "You are going to do my makeup. You won't have to sit there and you can be in control. I'll just give you a little guidance."
"Sometimes I wish I could argue with you, but I can't. I'm supposed to be a gentleman and treat you like a princess. I'll do it." Mike stated.
"Yay! Thanks Mike!" El said running over to hug him.
She pulled him over to her vanity and opened her makeup drawer. Mike's eyes got big there was so much stuff, and he had no idea where to start.
"Umm...El where do I start?" Mike asked.
El answered, "Use this. It's foundation and you apply it all over the face. You can use a sponge to beat it in by tapping my face."
Mike put 10 small dots all around El's face. It was a very thin layer, but Mike was in control so El couldn't say anything. He started beating her face extremely hard trying to spread and blend the foundation.
"Ouch...Mike try to be gentle." El said.
"Oops sorry El. Now what's next?" Mike asked.
El replied, "Take the compact powder and the large brush and place it all over my face."
Mike did as she said with another small layer. El wasn't going to say anything, but it was bugging her.
"Mike, I need a little more all over. I have oily skin and this powder will wear off quickly. I need it to keep me from being shiny and greasy looking." El said.
"Alright. I'll add a little more." Mike agreed.
After Mike finished El said, "Now for a little blush. Just a bit on my cheeks don't get it all over my face. I just need a tiny bit don't over do it."
Mike's amount of blush was phenomenal, but his placement was just a tad off, so El had to clean it up a little.
"Now it's time for my favorite part eyeshadow. Take that small blending brush and pick your favorite color from any of the palettles. Just rub it on my lid and blend it out." El instructed.
Mike chose a very light shimmery pink color and rubbed it on her lid. He didn't blend it out at all, so El stole the brush and blended it out.
Mike asked, "How am I doing?"
"Great. I'm highly impressed actually. Now it is time for mascara. You must be very careful or you could mess up my eyeshadow totally or get it in my eye. Don't put too much or my lashes will be clumpy and don't make it look like have a black eye either." El commanded.
Mike replied, "I'll do my best."
He decided to play a small trick on El. He began to apply the mascara and suddenly gasped dramatically.
"What!? What did you do?" El said before looking in the mirror to see nothing out of the ordinary. She punched Mike on the arm and he laughed.
"Oops…" Mike said after accidentally getting mascara on her nose.
"I'm not falling for it this time. Just pick out a lipstick. I like the darker ones." El stated.
Ignoring El's opinion Mike picked a clear gloss and coated her lips. El looked in the mirror and saw the lipstick on her nose. She giggled and wiped it off.
"Let's go! We are going on a picnic out by the quarry." Mike stated.
Mike drove them out as far as possible and they hopped out of the car to walk the rest of the way. They reached the area that El had saved Mike and he placed the blanket down.
Mike kissed El's hand,"Please sit my gorgeous princess."
El curtsied and replied, "Why sure my handsome prince."
Mike handed El a sandwich and they chowed them down. They began snacking on the cookies and fruit when El broke the silence.
"It's so gorgeous up here Mike." El said.
"I've always loved it. Even before you kicked Troy's butt up here." Mike replied.
El giggled, "Yeah That was pretty great. I'm so happy I came when I did. At first I was going to ignore you and Dustin's calls, because I thought you were angry with me. I just couldn't let you get hurt, because deep down I loved you."
"You never told me that." Mike said.
"I told you that was the moment I realized I liked you at that moment." El stated.
"I know I've just never heard the whole story." Mike replied.
El said, "Uhh..Mike I just want this last year of school to end and it hasn't even started."
"Why El? We should enjoy it. We will never be in school again. We need to have fun." Mike suggested.
She answered, "I'm ready to get a job, live with you, get married, have kids, and grow old together." Mike laughed and squirmed when El said marriage.
"I promise that will all come eventually. But do me a favor and just enjoy every moment as it comes." Mike asked.
"Sure I can. Like this moment." El said and kissed Mike. He kissed her back on the cheek. She laid her head on Mike's shoulder and watched the sun set. She fell asleep so Mike carried her to his car and drove her home. He carried her to the door. Hop answered and took El from mike.
"Thanks Mike." Hop said.
"Sure thing Hop." Mike replied.
That night Mike laid in his bed still contemplating the perfect proposal and honeymoon. He thought about having kids and having a pregnant El. He fell asleep smiling a small tear rolled down his cheek. Life awaited them.
