On with the next chapter………. Michael and Maria centered.
………………………………
Hotel room
Michael was surfing through channels when he heard a knock at the door. He got up off the couch and made his way towards the door. He looked through the peep whole and saw Maria standing on the other side. Michael took his time opening the door knowing it would agitate Maria.
Once the door was open Maria walked in.
Michael- Where are your kids?
Maria- With Liz and they have names.
They hadn't been in the same room for 5 minutes and already they were starting to fight maybe it was best they went separate ways. A comfortable silence fell over them so Michael took the time to study Maria.
Her hair stopped mid-back. Her skin was still the milky color he remembered. Her eyes were still green but they lacked the sparkle they once had. Michael could not help but wonder if her hair and skin were still as soft as he remembered.
Lost in thought Michael let his hand travel down her right arm.
It was a feather light touch but Maria still felt the electricity she did every time he touched her.
When Michael came to end of her arm he intertwined their fingers.
Maria could not help but smile. She glanced down at their joined hands and back up at Michael. For a moment Maria thought Michael was going to kiss her but that moment quickly passed.
Michael- Are you hungry?
Maria- no
Realizing he was still holding her hand he quickly let go. Although he missed her touch he knew he couldn't have it, she was not his anymore, she never would be again.
Maria- I better get going.
Maria walked toward the door and was about ready to open it when she heard Michael call her name.
Maria- what?
Michael-Would you like to stay for supper. Max is at Liz's house so…
Maria- sure why not.
After eating supper they talked about everything, from Brian and Anea to Michael's casual relationship with his ex-girlfriend Brittany. They were now sitting on opposite ends of the couch watching TV.
Maria- What happened?
She knew she shouldn't ask, but she had to know.
Michael- What?
Maria- I mean what happened to us? What went wrong?
Michael- I don't know. It just wasn't meant to be.
Maria felt like someone had just ripped her heart out and stomped on it.
Maria- I better go, its getting late.
Without another word Maria sprung up from her seat and left.
Maria did not let her tears fall until she was home. Andrew was on a bussiness trip and her kids were at Liz's house so the only sound that echoed through the house were Maria's sobs.
………………………………...
Back at the hotel room
Michael wanted to run after her but that would mean he was weak. He did not mean what he said but he was afraid. Afraid of being hurt again. He once again hurt Maria without meaning to. Maybe some things never changed.
But that wasn't the only thing that hadn't changed. The love they shared would never change.
………………………………...
AU- None of them want to admit their feelings for each other but doesn't look like they have a choice lol. I hope you enjoyed this chap. Read and Review. Until next time.
