Michael walked quickly into the garage and right away found Maria standing there off in space again. Michael was starting to get worried, maybe something was wrong with her. Was she sick? Was something wrong in the Valenti family? School? One of their friends? Maybe she was upset about them, he heard that David Wilson had asked her out last week. Maybe she was thinking about going out with him. Michael stopped his thoughts right there, he was always way to concerned when it came to Maria. Michael shook off the thoughts and walked up behind her. Smirking Michael put his arms around her waist and kissed her neck.
"What's wrong babe?" Michael asked kissing her jaw line.
"Where were you? I was looking everywhere for you." Maria said turning around in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. Michael smirked and kissed her on the lips.
"No where, where were you looking?" Michael asked, Maria's looked at him for a few seconds and shrugged her shoulders.
"Everywhere. . ." Maria offered sweetly. Michael rolled his eyes and kissed her again, Maria deepened the kiss and Michael groaned they had to stopped when someone behind them coughed. Michael turned to see Isabel standing there with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Yes?" Maria asked raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing." Isabel answered smiling at Michael, Maria was about to say something bitchy but Mr. Evans walked in.
"Michael. Maria. How many times do I have to tell you two that this isn't a make out place? It's a place of business." Mr. Evans said, both teens rolled their eyes and Mr. Evans continued to walk into the office. Michael turned back to Maria and pulled her close kissing her one last time before his dad came back in.
"Are we going to go?" Isabel asked. Michael turned and looked at her once again.
"What?" Maria asked confused.
"She wants me to help her shop." Michael replied shrugging. Maria got worried about them spending so much time together again, Michael felt her tense so he turned back around and kissed her again.
"I'll be back." He said before him and Isabel left the garage. Once Michael and Isabel were walking down the road Isabel turned to Michael and looked at him for a minute.
"What?" Michael asked not liking the way she was looking at him.
"Nothing." Isabel said, silence went over them for a few minutes before Isabel spoke again.
"Are you happy with her?" Isabel asked.
"Yes." Michael said without any hesitation.
"Really?" Isabel asked
"Yeah, way do you care?" Michael asked stopping.
"Just wondering, I've been pretty mean to her lately." Isabel said looking off into the distance.
"Yeah you have. . .why?" Michael asked curious.
"Because that's how I was with everyone in New York. Bad habits are hard to break. . .I had a boyfriend who looked a lot like you. . .even acted like you. I thought what between us was love. . .but I found out that he didn't feel the same way when I found him and my best friend in bed together. I'm just. . .even though I don't know Maria I feel like I need to protect her from. . .oh I don't know." Isabel said throwing her hands in the air.
"I won't hurt her. . .that wouldn't even cross my mind." Michael assured Isabel. With that said Isabel smiled at Michael and nodded.
"Good, so I need help with food. I. . .uh. . .I've never shopped for food before. And your the only other person I know so. . ." Isabel said looking down at her shoes. Michael chuckled.
"If you weren't so mean to everyone else you would have other people to talk to." Michael pointed out.
"I know, I'll be nicer. . .promise." Isabel said nodding her head assuring Michael.
"Okay, since I'm helping you with this you have to help me with something." Michael said as they started to walk again.
"Sure, what?" Isabel asked
"Maria and my two year anniversary is in two days and I have no idea what to get her. Could you help me?" Michael asked shyly.
"Sure we can do that after the food thing." Isabel said as they walked down one of the food aisles.
"Um Michael. . ." Isabel said slowly.
"Huh?"
"Why are there so many different kinds of breads?" Isabel asked in awe, Michael sighed knowing this was going to take awhile.

"Okay so do you have any idea what to get her?" Isabel asked, they just dropped the food off at her house and were walking down the street to get Maria's present.
"No, that's why your here." Michael reminded Isabel, this was Isabel's turn to sigh. The two walked into the 'couples' shop and looked around. Finally Michael found something that was perfect for Maria.
"Okay done?" Isabel asked, Michael nodded. On their way out of the store Isabel asked Michael.
"So what are you going to do for your anniversary?"
"I have to plan something too?" Michael asked as horror masked his face. Isabel rolled her eyes.
"This is going to take awhile." Isabel said shacking her head.
"What's wrong babe?" Michael asked kissing her jaw line.
"Where were you? I was looking everywhere for you." Maria said turning around in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. Michael smirked and kissed her on the lips.
