Double Date-See disclaimers in part 1
Part 9
(In the closet) Maria was still trying to pull the knob. When she was sure it was locked she started banging on the door. "Let me out! Help! Help! Help!" she screamed.
"They can't hear you Maria. Let me try the door," Michael said and Maria moved aside. He tried for several minutes but couldn't get it opened. "It won't budge."
"Well do something! We're trapped. I'm going to starve to death in here."
"Maria I'm sure they'll let us out soon."
"I'm going to kill Liz. Why would she do this? I can't be stuck in here with you. Figure a way out of here Michael!" she said swatting his arm. Michael watched her breast sway as she hit him.
"Ouch. Look there's no way out. We're stuck until they let us out."
"So you're just going to give up?"
"We don't have a choice. We'll just have to wait until they let us out."
"There's got to be a way out of here. Isabel will get worried and come looking for you won't she?"
"I'm sure your friends took care of her."
"I don't know what they expect to happen but you better not come near me Michael." Maria warned.
Michael sat down in the corner and waited for Liz and the others to come back.
***
"So do you think it's working?" Liz asked the others.
"Maria's probably in their killing him as we speak," Brody said.
"Maybe we should let them out."
"No Max we have to give it a chance," Liz said.
"It looks like Alex has the Isabel situation taken care of," Brody commented seeing Alex and Isabel on the dance floor."
***
(Back in the closet)
"Maria will you sit down?" Michael said after Maria had been pacing back and forth after what seemed like forever.
"No I won't. This is like the worst night ever. This is my senior prom and I'm stuck in here with you."
"I'm not thrilled about this either Maria."
"Why would they do this Michael?"
"I think Liz is trying to get us back together," Michael said.
"Why would she do that? I mean you're with Isabel."
"And you're with Brody. I don't understand why he's in on this. I thought he was in love with you or did he find out that you were cheating on him with Rath?"
Maria was incensed. "How dare you talk to me about cheating! You're the liar and the cheat."
"What are you talking about Maria?"
"Don't act stupid Michael. I know the entire time we were going out you were with Isabel. How could you Michael? I trusted you. Did you have a good laugh at my benefit? I can't believe I almost forgave you for accepting money to go out with me. You disgust me Michael."
"Maria I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Stop lying!"
"I'm not."
"Michael that night at the Old Mill I saw Isabel kiss you and Kyle saw you kissing after school when we were still going out."
"I never kissed Isabel when we were going out," Michael said getting angry.
"Kyle saw you!"
"For your information Isabel kissed me and I pushed her away."
"If that's true then why did Isabel kiss you that night we went out?"
"Because I had to borrow money from her because I couldn't pay the bill. Are you happy now?" Michael screamed at Maria.
"Michael I'm not stupid, after all your dating Isabel now. And anyway if that was true why did you break up with me Michael?"
" I didn't. You broke up with me!" Michael screamed.
"Oh," Maria said realizing he was right.
"Why do you care if I date Isabel? I thought you and Brody were in love."
"Brody doesn't love me," Maria cried.
"I'm sorry Maria. I know how it feels to love someone who doesn't love you back."
"I don't love Brody."
"Then why are you dating him?"
"We're not. We're friends."
"What?"
"Look Michael I don't want to talk about this. I want to get out of here," Maria walked toward the door and tried to open it again.
"It's locked remember."
Maria just stood at the door with her back to Michael.
The moment he saw Maria tonight he knew he couldn't live without her anymore. He was sure he had lost her to Brody but she had just told them Brody was just her friend and she wouldn't lie about that. "You look really amazing tonight Maria."
"Why are you doing this Michael? Don't you think I'm hurting enough? When we get out of here you can go back to Isabel."
"I don't want her," Michael said walking closer to Maria.
Maria turned around and looked at Michael. "Then why are you with her? If you don't want Isabel why are you always together and making out?"
"We just do it in front of you," Michael said.
Maria slapped Michael. "Why Michael? Do you get some kind of kick out of hurting me? I told you I loved you and you go and sleep with Isabel. Michael I thought the night we made love meant something to you but it didn't," Maria cried.
"That night meant everything to me Maria. Isabel lied about us sleeping together."
"Yeah right. You went along with it. Why would you lie about everything?"
"I thought you were with Brody. I thought he could make you happy."
"Michael you make me happy!"
"Maria I can't give you what he can. I couldn't even afford to take you out to dinner. I live in a run down apartment and I'm going nowhere. You deserve better."
"How dare you decide what is best for me Michael! I love you. How could you push me away?" Maria turned away from Michael rushing back to the door.
"I love you Maria."
"Why couldn't you say it that night?"
"I was scared. Scared that you would leave me when you realized I wasn't good enough for you."
"Stop saying that."
"I still love you Maria."
Maria turned around and ran into Michael's arms. They held each other tight. "I love you so much Michael. I would never leave you. Please don't ever leave me again."
"I don't intend to," Michael then noticed Maria was sobbing.
"Why are you still crying Maria?"
"I was so scared. I thought I lost you."
"I'm here for as long as you want me. I just can't believe that you do."
When Maria finally stopped crying she touched his face and she noticed a red mark. "Did I hurt you when I slapped you?" Maria asked applying kisses to his face.
"No. Actually Max and Alex did more damage when they punched me," Michael said smiling.
"What?"
"Yeah apparently they weren't to happy about the whole Isabel situation either."
"So there was really nothing going on between you and Isabel?"
"You're the only person I've ever loved. What about Brody."
"Brody is a friend. Beside he's way to old for me."
"Do you think Liz and the others will ever let us out of this closet?" Maria asked Michael.
"I hope not. I don't know about you but I have everything I could ever want in this room," Michael said.
"Me too." Michael leaned his face down to kiss Maria for the first time in forever. "I missed you so much Michael."
"Me too."
"So do you think Isabel would care if I stole her date?" Maria asked.
"I don't know but I don't care. I'm yours."
Michael and Maria started kissing and making out heavily. Maria melted as Michael's hands caressed her body. Michael kept feeling around the back of her top. "What are you doing?" Maria asked.
"Trying to figure out how to get this top off of you."
"Michael the others could come back at any time," Maria moaned really afraid that he would stop touching her.
"I don't care Maria it's been so long since I've touched you. I've been wanting to see you out of this dress all night," Michael said lying kissing along Maria's throat.
"Oh god Michael, we have to get out of here."
"Why?" Michael asked confused why she wanted to leave.
"I want to go to your place," Maria answered. "I want you so much Michael," she said kissing him again.
***
"It's been a half an hour Liz we need to let them out," Brody said.
"No, let's give them more time."
"Brody's right I'm going to go open the door," Max said.
Liz just followed Max and Brody to the closet. Brody stuck the key in the lock and turned it. Michael and Maria were oblivious to the fact the door had opened.
"I guess your plan worked," Brody said to Liz after seeing Maria and Michael's heated make out session.
"Excuse me that's my sister your pawing!" Max screamed.
Michael stopped kissing Maria but he refused to let her go out of his arms.
"I guess this means you're back together?" Liz asked.
"No time to talk!" Michael said reaching for Maria's hand and running out of the closet into the hall. They continued running until they got outside. "I forgot I don't have my bike with me," Michael said frustrated.
"Brody, Liz, Max, and I came in a limo. We can't take it because they won't have a ride home," Maria said.
"Dammit!" Michael yelled. Maria just looked at Michael. She loved him so much and couldn't believe he was hers again.
"The hell with them Michael. They wanted us back together," Maria grabbed his hand and they raced inside the limo. The driver drove them to Michael's apartment. The entire ride over the couple couldn't keep their hands off each other.
When they finally arrived Maria and Michael raced inside his apartment. They frantically began ripping each other's clothes off. "I love you Michael."
"I love you Maria."
***
(Meanwhile back at the prom.) "How are we going to get home?" Max screamed when he noticed the limo was gone. "I told the driver to wait for us."
"I'm taking a wild guess here but I bet Maria and Michael took it. They looked like they were in a big hurry to get out of here," Brody said.
"That's just great! Not only do we not have a ride home my sister is having sex now as we speak. Remind me again why we got them back together," Max yelled. Everyone just looked at Max. It was so unlike him to get that angry about anything.
"Calm down Max. Well find Alex. Maybe he can give us a ride home," Liz said.
Max, Liz, and Brody walked back into the ballroom and saw Isabel and Alex seated at a table.
"I'm sorry to disturb you Alex but we really need a ride home can you help us?"
"Actually Max, Amy my date was my ride home and since she ditched me I don't have a ride either."
"I can drive you home," Isabel speaking up. The gang just looked at Isabel like she was crazy but they really had no choice if they wanted to get home.
"Great," Max said.
They all pilled into Isabel's car and started the ride home. "So I guess this means your plan to get Michael and Maria back together worked?" Isabel asked.
They all expected a scene from Isabel. "Yes, that's why we need the ride home. They took our limo," Liz said.
Isabel knew what that meant. She was shocked when she didn't feel the pang of jealousy she was expecting.
"I know you are all Maria's friends and I just want you to know that I'm through chasing Michael."
"That's good because he loves Maria."
"Liz!"
"Well it's true Alex."
The rest of the car ride was quite surprising. They all started talking about the other couples at the dance and their clothes. They were shocked with how they got along with Isabel. After a while the car got silent.
"I think you owe Maria an apology Isabel. I know we've been getting along great tonight but the things you did to Maria were horrible. You knew she loved Michael and you did everything you could to hurt her."
"Your right Liz. I want to be a better person. I'm ashamed of what I did. I know that doesn't excuse what I did but I'm still sorry."
Alex was pleased that his dream girl turned out to be all that he had hoped for. Isabel had dropped everyone off except for Alex. She finally stopped in front of his house. "I had a really great time Isabel."
"I did too," Isabel said.
"I'll understand if you want to act like this night never happened. It was a dream come true for me but I know I'm thought of as kind of a nerd around school."
"That's not true. I had a great time too."
"Good night," Alex said kissing Isabel on the cheek. Isabel surprised Alex by dragging her lips to his. After the short kiss Alex looked up at Isabel who was smiling.
"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow," Isabel said.
"Yes!" He said beaming with happiness.
***
Michael and Maria were lying in his bed after making love several times that night. Michael was lying on his back and Maria was in his arms with her head covering his chest. Maria was rubbing circles around Michael's chest. She couldn't get enough of the feel of his skin.
"I was supposed to stay at Liz's tonight but I'm sure she'll cover for me. I'm not sure Max will go along with it but I don't care. I'm not leaving tonight," Maria said.
"I don't want you to get into trouble because of me," he said bringing her hand up to his lips and kissing her palm.
"Michael I don't care. I can't be away from you any longer. You're not getting rid of me."
"I don't want to."
Michael reached over Maria and opened his nightstand pulling something out. "What is it Michael?" Michael reached for Maria's hand again and put a small object in it. She opened her hand and found a tiny silver ring that matched the one he wore only smaller in size.
"I know it's not much Maria. But it's all I can give you."
"What does it mean?" Maria asked staring up at Michael.
"Well I hope it means that you won't date anyone else and I won't either."
"You mean go steady?"
"Yeah, If that's all right with you," Michael said unsure of himself.
"Of course it is. I only want you," Maria said smiling up at him. Maria tried the ring on her hand and it fit perfectly. She laid her head back down on Michael's chest. "I love how you smell."
Michael laughed. "That's the last thing I expected to hear you say."
"It's true. I missed the way you smell and the way you make me feel when you touch me."
"I missed the way you look at me. You make me feel like I'm important."
"You are Michael."
"No I'm not, but you still make me feel like I am."
"I missed the way you scratch your forehead when you get nervous, and the way you look in your tight jeans and leather jacket when you're riding your bike."
"I missed the way your arms feel when you wrap them around me when I take you for a ride."
"I like that to," Maria smiled.
"So where did you find your prom dress at?" Michael asked.
"I actually found it at a store in the mall. To be truthful I thought about you when I bought it. I was hoping it would make you want me again."
"I never stopped. And it defiantly got my attention."
"Promise me that we'll always be this much in love," Maria begged.
"I can't speak for you but I know I will."
"I just don't want to ever have a huge misunderstanding like we had. And I want you stop thinking that you're not good enough for me Michael. I'm going to prove to you how much I love you." Maria climbed up closer to Michael lying on top of him. He had a hard time concentrating on what she was saying with her bare skin next to his. She was so soft.
"I think you've done a pretty good job so far."
"I'm serious. I love you. Michael I've never been this happy before. Thank you."
"I love you."
"I love you too," Maria said before leaning down to kiss Michael again.
The end.
