Author's note: Maria's POV during Four Square..

All day Liz, Mr Parker, my mom even the Sheriff have commented on how happy I look. And I truly am. When Michael came up to me in the hall today and was all adorably confuddled, I was sure it was time for the TALK. The "its too intense" speech. But no. Michael Guerin surprised me yet again. He asked me to go steady. HE asked ME. I'm still in a daze. I mean, Michael taking the first step. Wanting to confirm that we were together. I didn't think I could be happier than I was at that moment. Then he did it. The one thing in all our time together he'd never done he did.

It was common knowledge that Michael Guerin, West Roswell's equivalent to James Dean a la "Rebel without a cause" and Maria DeLuca, Liz's ditzy friend were sneaking off to the Eraser Room between lessons. But with his next action he made it clear we belonged to each other. The guy who said he couldn't get attached kissed me in the middle of the hall, during the busiest time of the day. And it wasn't just a sweet little kiss. It was a full-blown major kiss. I was so lost in it I didn't even notice where we were until I heard some vague voices in the background. Then my good mood went into space. When we went to the Eraser Room to continue out activities, who do we find? Isabel and Alex. They're going out! I'm so happy. Alex has been in love with her for years like Max was with Liz. It'll be good for her too, to have someone. Max and Michael are sweet and all but she really needs someone who isn't a brother. Michael gave them a funny look. I think he's worried for her. This is the first time I think she's been in an honest relationship. It has to be. Only me, Liz and Alex know who they are. And we're not telling anyone.
Now when I look back on my little discussion with the Sheriff after I first found out about the whole Czech thing I cringe. How could I ever have been afraid? We have Max who wouldn't harm a fly, Isabel who pretends to be above it all but is really a sweetie. And we have Michael, the guy who kidnapped me and forced me to love him. Yep, the big L word. We haven't actually exchanged it but its there. I can feel it. I know I love him but sometimes its not so clear he feels the same. Like today I'm convinced I felt it. When he said he didn't want anything to come between us, I realised that any of Max's sweet gestures could never ever compensate for that simple little sentence. Bless him.

I just hope we'll stay like this for ever. If he asked me too leave Roswell with him, I'd do it. I'd break into the Pentagon if he asked me too. I would do anything for him. I love him that much. But as I told him after we found out who Tess was, I have this horrible feeling that something bad's gonna happen. But I won't think of that. Surely whatever god up there that's thrown us together wouldn't be as cruel as to rip us apart? Would they?
