Isabel had fretted the entire way over to Michael's place, Maria kept chattering away about how this would be great, and had already planned several double dates, "Maria come on, how do you even know he feels anything like that for me?" Maria looked over at Isabel and smiled knowingly, "Isabel, tonight at the crashdown, that look in his eyes, pure love, trust me I know the look." Isabel looked at her skeptically, "I hope your right." she whispered looking out of the car window at the passing scenery.
Five minutes later Maria pulled up in front of Michael's apartment building. Isabel got out of the car and leaned against it looking up at Michael's apartment, "I don't know if this is such a good idea Maria." "Ofcourse it's a good idea." she said grabbing Isabel's hand and pulling her twoards Michaels door.
~Inside Michael's Apartment~
"Max, you want me to kiss her?!" Max nodded, "Yep." "But, I mean, what if she like freaks out and his me, I can't just walk up to Isabel and kiss her." Max smiled, "Maybe you won't have to, maybe she will come to you." Just then they heard several rather insistant knocks at the door. Michael looked at Max questioningly, Max just shrugged, trying to hide his smile, he could tell it was Maria, she must of come to the same conclusion as he. Michael opened the door only to be bowled over by an obvioulsy hyper- determined Maria and a less excited looking Isabel. "Uh, Maria what are you guys doing here?" Maria just grinned at him sitting down on the couch letting Max take her hand in his. "Well you see Isabel and I were having some quality girl time talking and all you know." Michael looked over to Isabel who was staring intently at the floor, then back to Maria, "And?" Maria looked at Isabel who crossed her arms defiantly, "Well since Isabel doesn't seem to want to share, you see she told me about what happened at the crashdown with your intense lovey dovey stare fest, and about the sexy visions-"
"Maria!" Isabel gasped. "What you didn't seem like you wanted to explain, so I thought I'd tell him why were here, or would you like to?" she said smiling evily. Max laughed, "Well Isabel, Michael had something he wanted to *tell* you also." Michael glared at him, and then looked at Isabel who was once again staring at the floor, "Oh geez, come on" he said pulling Isabel away into his room closing the door. "Hey don't leave we weren't gonna watch honest." Maria yelled after them.
Max laughed again and wrapped an arm around Maria, "So it looks like this is gonna happen huh?" Maria grinned at him, "Sure is," "You know I'm really glad you brought her over here, and not just because of the Michael/Isabel thing." he said raising an eyebrow at her. "Oh really that's good because-." Max silenced her bringing his lips to hers. Maria sighed, and wrapped her arms around his neck. *I knew there was another reason for coming here*
~In Michael's Room~ Michael and Isabel stood on opposite ends of the room every once and a while exchanging glances, Michael sighed *well this is getting us nowhere fast* He finally gave in and walked over to Isabel, "Isabel."
Isabel mumbeled a response but refused to look at his face. He smiled and took one of her hands in his, and used the other one to tilt her head up so her eyes met his, they both immidiatly felt their heart beat quicken, she too then smiled, "Isabel, I know you saw what I saw at the Crash Down, and I know you also felt what I felt, that happines, how real it felt." She looked down, but Michael took her other hand, and once again felt those sparks. Michael looked in her eyes and saw her them grow larger, "See, Isabel I know you felt that, we both did." Isabel shook her head backing away, "I just don't know Michael, what if it's just because of our destiny, what if it's not real. I don't want you to wake up one day and realize what we have wasnt for real, I couldn't stand to loose someone else." Michael walked over to her hugging her, she wrapped her arms around him hugging him back tightly. Michael moved away slightly so that he could look her in the eyes, "Isabel, I was afraid of that too, but it's like Max said, he told me that we should kiss, because then we'd know for certain." Isabel smiled, "That's the same thing that Maria told me, thats why we came over here actually." Michael grinned, "Well you know they are the best ones to be taking advice from when it comes to love." Isabel nodded. Michael took her face in his hands, "Isabel, I have a sneaking suspicion that even if we didn't kiss, that we know what we have, or will have is real." Isabel smiled brightly nodding, "I think your right." "So you wanna give it shot you think, you and me?" Isable brought her hand up to his cheek, "Michael, I would love nothing better than to be your girlfriend." Michael gave one of his rare truely happy smiles and picked her up spinning her around, she squealed and wrapped her arms around him. He pulled back and cupped her face in his hands, "Isabel," he whispered before pressing his lips lightly to hers, both Isabel and Michael were sure the world had fallen away and pretty much exploded as the kiss was deepend. After pulling away hesitantly for air, Michael pressed his for head to Isabel, and she leaned on him for support, both of them dizzy from the kiss. "I love you Isabel." She smiled as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "I love you too Michael."
When they exited the bedroom, they smiled at the sight of Max and Maria curled up on the couch sleeping, Max cradling Maria both with contented smiles on their faces. "Should we wake them?" Isabel asked still looking at them. "Nah, let 'em sleep" He said pulling a blanket over them, then walking back to Isabel putting his arm around her shoulders guiding them back into his bedroom closing the door behind them.
