Liz looked over at Michael. She wondered how he could get so handsome so
quickly.
*Well he was always handsome * Liz thought. She, like so many other girls, had a crush
on Michael at one time of her life. He, after all, was the bad boy of the school. The boy
you would never want to take home to your parents. Like so many other girls, she too,
fantasized about him whisking her off on his motorcycle. But then Max had saved her
life and she was so caught up in this fairy book love of hers that she pushed any dirty
thoughts about Michael in the back of her mind. Now looking at him, those feelings
stirred again. Lost in her own thoughts she didn't notice that he was staring at her too.
She quickly adverted her eyes back to the road. "How has been at home since…I left?"
he asked. She looked at him with weary eyes. She didn't want to discuss it right now but
there was no way out of it. "Umm, well. Max and Tess are still together…with their
son," she said trying to hide the hurt in her voice. He looked at his hands embarrassed.
"Sorry," he said sounding sincere. But in fact he was screaming happy. That jerk Max
didn't deserve someone like Liz. Max fell for Tess's little tricks and that, in Michael's
mind, ruled out any possibility that Max would ever be good enough for Liz. Actually he
thought the only guy right for Liz was himself. Ever since Max saved Liz in the shooting
Michael kicked himself everyday after that. It should have been him who had saved her.
When Max saved Liz he saw a bond there that could not be destroyed. That's when he
gave up. He had always loved Liz. Her innocence about the world and people made her
someone he couldn't resist. He remembered in the 5th grade, she tried so hard trying to
be friends with him but he pushed her away. He even threatened her to stay away from
him. He told her that he was dangerous and that she would only get hurt if she was
around him. Being Liz that only made her try harder. He remembered the only time that
he made her stop. He had slammed her up against the locker and told her to leave him
alone. He remembers how tears welled up in her eyes and she ran into the bathroom.
That was the last time that she tried, well except after Max had saved her. Now looking
at the hurt in her eyes he cursed Max for everything he was worth. "How…how is
Maria doing?" he stuttered as he couldn't get the words out. "Um…she is doing good I
guess, she has two kids and still works at the Crashdown. My dad…he…uh…died and
the Crashdown was left to me but I had my research lab so Maria owns it now. And she
is…uh…married with two kids," she said rushing the last part of it. Michael looked
down. "Is she happy?" he asked. Liz nodded. Michael looked at her with blank eyes.
Quickly changing the subject she added. "Isabelle and Kyle are married. Kyle is the
sheriff and Isabelle owns a clothing shop," she said hoping that would lighten the mood.
Michael smiled thinking about Isabelle and Kyle together. "Couldn't get out of Roswell
soon enough could you?" he asked all of a sudden. Liz's lips tightened. "I don't want to
talk about it," she said. Michael pushed on, "If I didn't know better I say that you were
following me," he said with an arrogant smirk on his lips. Liz frowned. "Don't flatter
yourself Michael. It was just an accident that I was actually on the same planet as you,"
she said glaring at him. He looked at her with the same smirk, "My, my miss Parker.
That is quite a smart mouth you got there." Before Liz could retort she saw a hotel sign
say 'vacancies' on it. They had been driving all night and Liz was starting to fall asleep
and she would be damned if she let Michael drive her car. She pulled over quickly
making Michael hit his head on the window. "Hey!" he groaned rubbing his head.
"Opps," Liz said innocently before going in to get a room key. When she got back in the
car she had a pale face. "What happen? Are the full?" Michael asked looking at Liz's
pale face. "No, they had one room left. But it's a single bed," she said with a blush
creeping on her face. Michael sat back and smirked. "Hope you don't snore!" he said.
Next time…the hotel scene gets HOT! Ratings might go up!
