Part 28.
"No you're not! We are going to talk this through!" Michael insisted and blocked the door with his body.
"What, now you want to talk?" Maria asked incredulously.
"Yes, Maria. I love you and I'm not going to make the same mistake again" Michael replied.
"And that is?" Maria wondered.
"Letting you walk out of my life," Michael answered quietly, looking Maria in the eyes.
There was a silence.
"Maria, please stay," Michael pleaded.
"Well, what if I don't want to?" Maria asked.
"Well, then I'll have to cuff you to my bed," Michael said and smiled. Maria burst into laughter. Michael was so happy to see Maria smile again.
"Well, I certainly don't want to go through that experience again," Maria said as she wiped away the tears that had formed from her laughter.
"I thought so," Michael said and looked Maria in the eyes.
"Michael, what do you want from me?" Maria asked Michael helplessly and looked down at the floor.
"I want the old Maria back, the one I fought with, the one that helped me when I needed help whether I admitted it or not, and the girl I fell in love with," Michael said and raised her chin so that her eyes met his.
"But, Michael, you didn't want her before," Maria said to him as she started to cry.
"Maria, we all want you back," Michael said and saw that Maria´s face lit up a bit.
"But, Michael, where am I going to live? I don't have any money, and I DON'T want to live with my mom and what's her name!" Maria rambled.
"You don't have to. I think your mom will understand," Michael said to her. Michael knew that she was searching for difficulties.
"Where am I going to live? How will I make a living?" Maria asked.
"Maria, you can stay here, and I am sure you can get your old job back at the Crashdown," Michael assured her.
"Why are you helping me?" Maria asked him.
TBC.
