A/N: Thanks for bearing with me!! I dedicate this chapter to my very good friend Andrea Thanks m'love!
Chapter 14
Maria looked around the room, Max and Liz were dancing, Tess and Kyle were talking, Alex and Isabel, well they were doing what they would normally do, talk.
She looked around again, this time her gaze caught someone else's intense stare. Michael, she turned around but couldn't help the tingles that ran through her. "Easy, I'll ignore him. To the kitchen!" She quickly dashed towards the place where she thought she could escape the man's gaze.
"Woooh!" Liz laughed as Max twirled her. They were having a great time; suddenly a pang of guilt hit her. They were having fun while the others had issues. Tess and Kyle seemed to be having a very tensed conversation other then their usual teasing banter and Lord knows where Alex and Isabel went off to.
Max looked at his wife's hurt face. He lifted her chin up with his hand "What's wrong?" She looked as if she was about to cry "I feel guilty, here we are having fun while, while the others seem to look in pain." He tucked her face in his neck. "I understand but Liz, we can't make it better, they have to learn on their own. They aren't little kids." She sighed and buried her face in his neck. "I know, I'm sorry didn't mean to ruin the moment." She looked up at him and smiled sheepishly. "He grinned at his wife and kissed her, "You never did, have or will ruin the moment." They smiled and continued to dance.
"Kyle! Kyle!" Tess screamed. He turned around to see Tess angry, flushed red and oh so hot! "What? I already embarrassed myself up on stage for you what more do you want woman!" They were sitting on the chairs facing each other. "For you to say, I don't know everything will be ok!" She couldn't believe he felt the same things for her, she was excited but then pain struck her, hard. Alex. "I can't lie to you and tell you everything's ok, I don't know what'll make it ok." he seemed to have lost hope when Tess did something he never thought she'd do. She stuck her tongue out at him, stretched her ears out like a monkey and crossed her eyes. He laughed, soon enough she was too, maybe this night wasn't so bad after all.

"Woo hoo! Yeah baby, come on!" The man cried as he accelerated his car speed. He was now going 60 mph more then before. Yeah! This was so much better then going to his fiancées tea party.
Billy Darden felt the sudden urge to empty his drunken bladder; he stopped his car in front of a nearby gas station. He got out of his car and somehow managed to go to the bathroom. Next stop his out of reality mind said, crashing a tea party.

A/N: Since you guys have been so patient here's some more!
Chapter 15
"I love you Liz!" Maria said while taking out the pastries and soon devouring the crème filled inside. Her back was facing the counter, she didn't notice two very big hands come around and wrap her waist.
She suddenly felt warm, at peace, yet scared, did she want to turn around and go into a world where she and Michael could be alone, together? She didn't have to do anything; he twirled her around and kissed her before she could say anything.
She tried protesting but couldn't it had been too long, way too long, she knew it was wrong, but god it felt so right!
Their mouths meshed together like never before, she opened her mouth to grant his tongue more access. He missed her, he missed her a lot. His hands, correction body ached for her, his mind screamed for her to help take the pain, loneliness away.
She arched her neck as he sucked on her flesh, "Michael… we…we shouldn't be doing, thi-this." Somehow while keeping his lips on her neck, he answered "Yes we are, I love you, you love me simple." She thought about how easily he said that, but then looked at her hands. The ring… "Michael, no we need to stop. I'm engaged! Getting married soon!" it took her all her might to push him off. She looked at his appearance and almost kicked herself in the head; his pouty lips were now poutier, and red. She bit back a load groan.
"Why? You don't even love him Maria! You don't belong with him." He said forcefully pulling her hand, bringing her closer to him. "Them who do I belong with Michael? Huh? Tell me? Not you because you belong with Isabel don't you!?" She spat, she was furious, all those years, all that anger was coming out now.
He looked at her, none of them moved, only he seemed to notice their close proximity, he did the only thing he could do, kissed her, hard, with passion, with all the love he had for her and surprisingly more.
She tried pushing him off, but couldn't she got the flashed, fast but long enough for her to kiss him back with just as much love.
She saw, him crying for her, loving her, missing her, laughing at her and with her, wishing she was here, she saw him as he pictured their wedding day, their kids.
"Michael…" She whimpered, "I'm sorry." Tears streamed down her face, he kissed them, "You have nothing to be sorry for, I love you."
Before they could continue, they were interrupted by a loud crash, laughter and bang. "M'riaaa, babby I loo-o-ve you, hahah." Maria breathed into Michael's chest, and said one word "Billy."
