Part 8

Michael stared at Maria for a while. He didn't know what to say. He didn't know if he should tell her how he felt, if he should tell her that he wanted it the way it was before John. When they would wake up in each other's arms. Not wanting to move. He wanted to tell her that he just wanted to make love to her the way they use to when both of them had a stressful day.

"I'm just saying that, I want to see you happy again. Truly happy. Not I just found 5 dollars on the floor happy." Michael told her. Maria giggled at him. She wanted to tell him that he made her happy more than anything. But she stopped herself.

"Michael, I want to be happy too. There are just things that aren't a part of my life anymore, and I don't know if I can get them back." Maria told him. Michael walked closer to Maria.

"What things?" He asked placing his hand on her cheek. Maria closed her eye's and enjoyed the feeling of Michael's touch.

"Just certain things." Maria told him leaning closer to him. Michael ran his other hand through Maria's soft hair, that he missed so much.

"Maria, tell me about the dream." Michael told her.

"Michael, it's okay. It's just a dream." Maria try to tell him. But Michael just shook his head.

"No, Maria. If you let it out, maybe they will go away." Michael said. Maria sighed and nodded her head.

"I just have dream, or nightmares, of John ...... killing ...... me." Maria finally let out. Michael couldn't believe what he was hearing. She said they were nothing. Killing the peson he loved the most is not just nothing.

"And you think, this is okay?" Michael yelled a little bit.

"No, I just think it's no big deal." Maria said softly.

"MARIA, it is a big deal. A really big deal." Michael told her.

"Michael, can we just not talk about this right now. Please." Maria begged him. Michael couldn't say no to her. Not when she gave her that face.

Michael nodded his head and ran his finger along Maria's lawline. He couldn't stop touching her. He knew he shouldn't but he just couldn't help himself. With her standing right there in front of him.

Maria smiled at Michael placed her hands on his shoulders and pulled him closer. Just like she use to when they were going out. Just like she use to when she was about to kiss him, and bring him into a world he couldn't never forget about.

Michael leaned in closer so that their lips were almost touching. Michael couldn't help himself, he couldn't control himself any loner.

Michael leaned in and captured her lips with his. He thought Maria would pull away but she didn't. She kissed him the way she use to. When they were both in love. Michael moaned wanting more of her. He pulled Maria closer to him, so he could feel more of her.

Maria ran her hands through Michael's hair. She loved the feeling of his soft hair running between her fingers. Maria moaned as Michael began to suck on her neck. She moved her head to the side giving Michael more access to her neck. Michael then lifted Maria up and carried her to his bedroom.

He placed Maria on the bed and moved on top of her. He found her lips again and brought her into a passionate kiss. Maria moaned when Michael pulled away.

"Wait, I can't do this." Michael told her.
