Well since this is a short one, and I haven't updated in awhile I decided to post two chapters in one day:) hope you likee!
I don't own anyone! All to GH! Except Monroe :)
- I have to warn people who may have started to read this. I am a JaSam fan til the very end. Elizabeth will never be with Jason in my story. And also, I don't really like Brenda anymore. She is really starting to annoy me!
The next morning Monroe woke up around 5am and went into the kitchen to grab a pastry and make a hot cup of coffee. Once the coffee beeped that it was done, she overloaded it with cream and sugar and went out onto the deck attached to her room. She looked out into where the sun would be rising and thought about all the things that had happened in the past week. In a matter of days she made two really good friends, one of them that could be a potential boyfriend. He was so sweet to her and he really paid attention and listened to her. He didn't try to kiss her yet, he really was such a gentleman towards her, and that was exactly what she needed. She leaned her head back on the head rest of the chair and smiled. Things were really looking up compared to her life in NYC. Although she had to admit there were 2 of her girl friends she was missing a lot. They would love Kristina and they would also love Michael. Although their opinions were a little bit off, they thought Conner was a great guy too. She knew they meant well though, and that was all that mattered. They really thought Conner made her happy, Monroe was good at pretending.
A few hours later, Monroe was on her way to the park. She had just finished eating a sandwich at Kelly's and pulled out her sketch pad as she walked to the park which was very close. She sat down on a bench in front of three huge trees and catty cornered to a family sitting down having a picnic. She started to get lost in her sketch and she drew the man holding his little girl in his lap and the mother sprawled on her side with her son sitting in front of her legs as they ate what looked like fruit salad and sandwiches. Monroe couldn't help but smile as she saw the little girl laughing and throwing her head back as her blonde curls went flying about. She was so into the drawling that she didn't even notice someone standing within five feet of her. Eventually she looked up and saw Michael standing there, smiling, with a dozen calla lilies tied together with a yellow bow. Monroe saw the flowers and then Michael and then stood up smiling taking the flowers.
"For me? You are so sweet, thank you" she said smiling an infectious smile which made him laugh.
"You're welcome; I hope I'm not interrupting."
"No, it's perfect. Let's go back to my house so I can get these in water." He nodded and they began to walk back to her house.
As they walked through the front door, Monroe's phone started to go off. She looked at it and saw that Kristina was calling.
"Hey, what's up?" Monroe asked as she answered the phone.
"Oh nothing just bored. Was wondering if you wanted to hang out? Do some homework maybe, I know that sounds super boring but we do have science homework due on Tuesday"
"Sure, well Michael and I just got here. We ended up meeting up at the park. So you can just come here and we can all hang out like we were supposed to on Friday!"
"Great, I'll be there soon." Kristina said quickly, and hung up the phone.
"Kristina's going to come over in a little bit" Monroe told Michael and he nodded his head as Monroe untied the bow around the flowers and put them in the vase. She then tied the bow around the vase and put them on the table.
"Wow, did you do all of these?" Michael asked as he looked at the table and saw there was various paintings scattered on it.
"Yeah. I've done all of these since I moved to Port Charles" She told him and he smiled at her. He was amazed by the paintings. Even though they were small, they were so detailed. There was one that was obviously done at the docks, another which was done out front of Kelly's, and then another one of random doodles in fluorescent colors.
"Wow, you really are talented. What got you so into art?"
"Well, it is definitely something to occupy your time and I've spent a lot of my time alone. I've been drawing every since I could pick up a pencil and I started painting not long after. My nanny told my parents how good I was so they bought me everything I needed. Although, I don't ever think they've seen a single piece of my work. I don't care or anything, I think it's great that they at least got me everything I needed. But I love it, I love photography too. It is all amazing" She told him, she found it so easy to talk to him. He listened to every single word. He never judged, he never made fun, he just genuinely cared.
A knock on the door brought them out of the conversation and Monroe opened it to see Kristina standing there with her book bag, and Monroe invited her in.
"Hey Michael" Kristina said as she sat down next to him and put her book bag. "Oh my god Monroe, where did you get those flowers from? They're gorgeous!" Kristina asked excitedly, eyeing Michael.
"Actually, Michael got them for me" Monroe said smiling and Kristina smiled at Michael.
"Aw, I am so proud of you Mikey!" she said hugging him and Monroe shook her head and laughed as did Michael. "So what does this mean, are you guys dating?" she asked, growing more and more curious.
"Well, we went on a date… if that is what you are asking" Michael replied.
"Yes! That is what I am asking! Where?" Kristina asked.
"Dad's restaurant" Michael told her, and Kristina nodded her head in approval.
"Well this is so exciting! Well not so much that it was Dad's restaurant, I didn't even know you could actually eat there …You guys can go to homecoming together! Well, only if I can find a date that is. It just wouldn't be fair if you went without me"
"I think you are getting a little bit ahead of yourself, homecoming isn't until the beginning of November" Monroe told her, but Kristina ignored her.
"You guys will be together then, it will all be so perfect" Kristina told them both. It was good for Kristina to have something normal to focus on like her new friend dating her brother, and homework, and homecoming, rather than Keifer and the abuse.
After they got Kristina to stop talking about homecoming and prom and senior trip, they actually did start to sit down and do some homework. They ordered a pizza for dinner and Kristina and Michael left around 6pm. After they left, Monroe cleaned up and then heard her parent's car pull up, so she decided to get in the shower. After she was done in the shower she went right to her room and got changed into pajamas and turned on some music and decided to sketch. All this talk about homecoming and her and Michael's date made her really wonder what their status was. She knew she liked Michael and she would maybe like a relationship with him, but she was curious about how he felt. She knew he has been through a lot and wasn't really experienced in relationships, and neither was she. Well she wasn't experienced in healthy relationships. Monroe then realized she wasn't going to be able to sleep until she talked to Michael. She put on a hoodie and walked out onto the deck that extended from her bedroom to call him.
"Hey" Michael answered, sleepily.
"Hi, awe I'm sorry were you asleep?" Monroe asked nervously.
"Yeah but its fine, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I just wanted to talk to you about something"
"Ok, go ahead."
"Well…"
"Well..."
She giggled as he repeated her. "Alright I don't know how to bring this up without it being awkward. But talking to Kristina today about us going out to dinner and you bringing me flowers and homecoming and all that just made me wonder our status was. I mean I know you have been through a lot lately so I understand if you don't want anything more than a friendship, but it's getting kind of confusing"
"Well, I wanted to talk about this in person. But, Monroe, I'd like to be your boyfriend, if that's okay with you" Michael said. He knew the words he spoke were true, but they still scared the hell out of him.
Monroe smiled widely. "That is perfectly okay with me." She said back, she was so glad she called him, even if he did want the conversation to be in person.
"Ok, I'm glad" he said, and smiled.
"Alright, well I'll let you go back to sleep." Monroe said laughing.
"Well thank you, I'll see you in the morning" He replied.
"Goodnight" She said, and hung up the phone. Now that that was all cleared up she started to feel pretty tired and decided to get to bed.
