Hello everyone! Hope you M fans are still out there somewhere. This was a collaboration done a long time ago that I never finished posting.

So while I work on some new Faithfully Yours chapters I figured I'd continue posting this one since its already written.

This was not written just by me it was a group effort:)

Here it is!!

Tony woke up to the strong smell of coffee, which got him right up. He walked in to the kitchen but she wasn't there instead was a note

"Tony,

Went out to get breakfast, made the coffee extra strong cause I know that's just how you like it. Be right back!

-Michelle"

Tony poured himself some coffee and sat on the couch when he noticed a photo album under the table titled "Michelle J. Dessler" 'this outta be good' he thought as he grabbed it.

Tony sat there photo album in hand, and opened the first page. There was a picture of what he supposed was Michelle but she looked no more than 11 years old, she was so cute with her gorgeous curls flying everywhere, she was swinging on a swing in a very large playground. He flicked through a few pics of family members and friends to find more of Michelle and he came to one of Michelle snogging another guy - she looked so happy, his stomach turned into huge knots and twisted and turned inside. 'Give yourself a break, I've dated other people, I've slept with other people for flip sake - oh god Michelle's slept with other people' Now he felt sick again, but he knew he had know right to be so annoyed, protective and jealous of the other guys who have been with her - he had her now, he hoped.

Tony must have been staring at that same pic for a while because when he came out of his daydream, Michelle pounced on him. "Um, I don't think you should look at that" she said. He pulled a face, "I mean you haven't earned the right to see me as a geeky goofy kid yet" she giggled snatching away the photo album.

Tony and Michelle ate breakfast, and finished their coffee. Then they decided to take a walk in the park when all of a sudden Michelle started walking faster and looking around more often. "What's wrong?" Tony asked

"Nothing, I just remembered I forgot something at home," she said looking the other way as a man jogged past.

"Michelle..."Tony started as the man who had jogged by turned around and looked at her.

"Michelle Dessler is that you?" Michelle looked defeated. She rolled her eyes.

"Hi Trevor" she said as she grabbed Tony's arm and started to walk again.

'He looks familiar' Tony thought to himself "Why don't you return my phone calls?" he asked annoyed but obviously trying to be somewhat friendly.

"We need to leave now," Michelle muttered.

"You ok?" Tony muttered back

"No" she said

"Wanna run?" he asked under his breath… she smiled and they took off across the car toward their car. He followed them so they jumped in the car and Tony began to drive away.

"Geez he's a persistent one!" Tony said as he looked at the angry man in the rear view mirror.

Tony still hadn't realized who the guy from the park was - he just thought he must have had some crush on Michelle (which Tony could totally understand), and that Michelle had turned him down. But that was so far from the truth...

Tony pulled into Michelle's driveway. When he turned of the engine Michelle started to talk "Tony I need you to know something, that I think has already been implied, both ways but I just wanna say it."

"I love you too," Tony said

"Hey! You stole my thunder! I wanted to say it first!" she said with a pout

"Then say it" he pulled her closer by the chin.

"I love you," she whispered and he kissed her passionately.

Tony and Michelle headed into Michelle's apartment. Tony grabbed Michelle's hand and pulled her over to the sofa, and sat down, pulling her onto her lap. She gave him a very cheeky smile to which he quickly covered her lips with his.. Michelle kissed him back, but pulled back sooner than usual, "Tony, there's something I want to tell you"

"Sweetheart, um... unless your going senile, we already did the 'I love you' thing" he said with a grin.

"Tony I'm being serious..." Tony stopped her once again, by pulling her in for a kiss.

"You gotta stop doing that!"

"But it works!" he grinned

"That's why you gotta stop! I'm never gonna spit it out unless you stop! Its very... distracting"

Tony rolled his eyes, 'well it worked then!' he thought. "Look lets discuss it over dinner then, I'm taking you out for our first official date… unless it's important"

"It can wait"

Tony gave Michelle a kiss, again, and she left to get ready. Michelle got dressed perfecting in her mind exactly how she was gonna tell him. Tony waited for her they left and went to his house so he could get dressed. Then they finally headed to the restaurant. "I gotta start keeping some clothes in my car this is annoying running back and forth"

"You can keep some at my house" Michelle said

"Really?" Tony asked

"Really" Michelle answered with a smile.

When they arrived at the restaurant Tony went around to Michelle's door and opened it for her, taking her hand, she smiled, not expecting what he had done, and loving the attention. They went in and were seated in a relatively private area, she was thinking how perfectly its was all going and then she remembered what she had to tell him, maybe she wouldn't tell him tonight? Maybe she shouldn't even tell him, after all she doesn't want to ruin the chance of them being together, but then they need to have an honest relationship. 'Does this have to be so damn hard' she thought.

"Tony" she said thinking 'he needs to know' "That man in the park" Michelle stuttered slowly. "He is my ex-fiancé. He asked me when I was drunk, and I was so mad the next day when I found out I immediately dropped the engagement and left him. He still thinks there's a chance."

"Oh" was all Tony managed to get out. 'The man in the photo' he suddenly thought.

"You were happy weren't you?" he asked, knowing full well she was from the big snog and smile on her face in the pic.

She frowned, "I'm happy now, Tony"

"That's not what I asked Michelle, were you happy?" she just stared at him, it was a simple question, just answer it he thought.

"Ok, how long were you together?"

"Look, Tony, I wanted you to know I had an ex fiancé but I didn't want to have to give you full details, its our first date, lets not be so serious, were supposed to have fun..."

Tony cut her off with a forced smile "Fine"

The rest of the date Tony seemed more distant. This is definitely not what Michelle had hoped for yet she had to admit she would wanna know if Tony had any ex-fiancés. She'd probably also want the details. She took a deep breath. They were half way through a movie she had no clue what was going on in it and he looked deep in thought.

"Tony, I need to talk to you I ..." all of a sudden a skittle hit her head "Take it outside!" some fat guy yelled at her.

"Ok" Tony said they walked up the aisle "Jerk!" Tony said to the man as they walked out.

They stood outside the theater in the empty hallway. "I realize that it's unfair to ask for a relationship with you, but not be totally open with you. I'm ready to tell you anything you want to know..." he grabbed her pushed her up against the wall and kissed her.

When they broke apart he said, "You were right you don't have to. It's our first date. If it's too early for you and I haven't earned your trust yet I can, but thank you so much for being honest with me it means so much to me."

"You earned my trust when you saved my life, and I fell in love with you" she said.

He kissed her and whispered, "Thank you"

"Thank you" she said "…We were together 5 months and I was happy but there was always something missing and I"

"You don't have to do this, I trust you," He said and they left the theater hand-in-hand. Neither could remember what movie they had gone to see.

Tony and Michelle left the theater and decided to stop at McDonalds because they were still kinda hungry they ordered and sat in the parking lot in their car eating.

"You know what I don't get?" Tony said

"What?" Michelle said with a half-full mouth

"How come you can eat while you drive but you can't talk on your cell phone?" Tony said.

"I think eating is more distracting, but it's not what's most distracting."

"What's most distracting then?" she asked

"You"

When they finished their meals Tony and Michelle headed back to Tony's car, and once again being the gentleman opened her door for her. They held hands all the way back to Michelle's apartment. Michelle knew that they wanted a traditional first date, with the kiss at the end but what was the point, they've already kissed… lots of times, and he's stayed her place already so what should she do, ask him or not?

They got to her place and he walked her to the door, she got out her keys and unlocked the door.

"Um, seeing how we've done this whole dating thing backwards, we kissed, you stayed over, and then we had the first date..." she rambled but was cut off by Tony kissing her and slowly pushing her back against the door. They kissed passionately for a while, and then Tony deepened the kiss by sliding his tongue into Michelle's mouth. Tony's body was pushed very firmly against Michelle's, and they both pulled back, "So um did you want to come in?" she asked.

"Of course" Tony said

Michelle giggled and they stumbled in the door, mouths half-fused together, lost in each other, giggling like teenagers only to hear "Surprise!" "Happy Birthday Michelle!" screamed at them from 30 people.
