Nowadays Every Night: Chapter 12



What if Michael had been the one she'd met that day?

The one she'd first given her heart to..first given herself to?

Would things have worked out better?

You almost could say she was there now out of revenge against Eric, but it was more of a need of comfort..a need for someone to listen..to make her feel better.

She had to see..had to know once and for all.

"Jules," whispered Mike, his voice breaking through her thoughts.

Michael..Michael..Michael..the one love she could never have, except for tonight.

Just this one time.

She felt him reach out, tilting her chin up, so that she looked him straight in the eye.

Meanwhile, Dani was carrying her script, rereading certain parts that Gilliam had underscored. She really wanted to ace being an actress, things had been fantabulous so far.

That bloke Mike was really something. All the lads were great, but there was a sweetness to the guy. Almost as if he loved everything he came in contact with..whether it was a person or a thing.

She felt sorry for the girl that ran with them, or had ran with them, what was her name? Julia.

That's her.

She was nice too, good to talk to.

Dani felt empathy toward her, 'specially with that twit of a boyfriend of hers.

Eric..that's his name.

TWIT.

He'd even hit on her whilst they were all in the canteen, Dani ignored him, told him quite simply to "BUGGER OFF."

But this Irish girl, Kathleen something or other, had been drawn in to him, like a moth to a flame.

Foolish girl, thought Dani as she walked.

Just then, she saw them.

Speak of the Devil.

They were all over each other like a couple of dogs in heat or something! How bloody sick!

Dani rolled her eyes as she went into her room, locking the door, and plopping down on her bed.

At least I'm smart enough to practice me lines.

That poor Julia..if she's smart she'll dump that twit.

And speaking of, Julia felt nervous being there with Michael.

He had a serene expression on his face, one that puzzled her, but thrilled her all the same.

"What?"

"You're nervous," whispered Michael. "I can tell."

"I shouldn't be here."

Michael reached out, touching her arm.

"I know," he whispered.

"But..I don't want to leave."

"You don't have to," he said, gathering up the courage to touch the side of her face. "I don't want you to."

Part of her wondered if  Eric was plagued by guilt for what he was doing.

And doubted it.

"I'm only human," she whispered to herself.

Michael looked at her curiously.

"Sorry," she said, feeling a blush creep over her face.

They kissed another time, Michael putting his hand on her knee, Juiia then putting his arm around her.

"Wait," he breathed.

"What?"

"Sorry..I just had to pause for a moment. I've..I've dreamed about this for a LONG time now..I just can't believe it's happening."

Julia looked up at him, Michael saying exactly how she herself felt.

All she could do was nod.

"You too?" she nervously joked. "Thought you were sworn to chastity."

"Can't be all the time," he whispered, touching her face again, Julia closing her eyes in response. "'Specially when you love the person."

"Don't ever stop," she whispered, pulling him close to her.

"I won't."

The kisses grew deeper over the next few minutes, Julia could feel Michael's heart beating as fast as her own felt.

Her arms slid around his neck as he lowered her down gently back onto the bed.

They continued to make out, touching each other, exploring each other.

Michael pushed the bottom  of her dress up, whispering; "I'll do it proper here in a minute."

Julia groaned at the feel of him.

"Let me in," he whispered, reaching out to to touch her.

Her breathing nearly stopped.

His hands then slid up her body, Michael watching Julia react to him.

He then got to his knees, climbing up to her, Julia reaching up, pulling his head to hers.

Michael felt her legs come around his waist, and he deepened their kiss as he came inside her, sliding his tongue deep into her mouth.

And slowly...very very slowly..they began to make love.
