Dismissed
"I can't believe you guys talked me out into doing this TV show."
"Michael we're in Cancun Mexico, It's spring Break and you've been without a date in forever. It's time to live man! Any man would die to be in your shoes. Have you seen the show on MTV? Your dates will throw themselves all over you. It's an easy lay!"
"Kyle!" Max yelled at his friend.
"Max don't act all high and mighty. We're all here for the same reason. To get drunk and get laid," Kyle smirked.
"You know I'm not into that kind of thing Kyle. I'm here to relax. Medical school is extremely stressful," Max replied.
"Whatever dude. Anyway Michael I would kill to be in your shoes. Just wait until you meet the hot babes you're going to date," Kyle added.
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I should call the show and cancel."
"Don't listen to Kyle. He's a jerk. Anyway what harm can it do Michael. It's just a date. Your not scared of a few bikini clad women are you?"
"Shut Up Maxwell! You're beginning to sound like Kyle."
"Hey!"
"Seriously Michael you haven't been on a date forever and who knows you could meet the women of your dreams. You need to let someone in Michael."
"Don't get all sappy on me Maxwell. I'll do the show."

"You did what!" Maria yelled at her best friends Isabel and Liz. Liz, Isabel, Maria, and Alex were all sharing a hotel room at Cancun for spring break.
"Calm down Maria. It will be fun."
"How could you guys sign me up for this television show without me knowing about it?"
"I kind of called the show up and pretended to be you. But I sent them your picture so they know what you look like," Isabel explained.
"And you were in on this Liz?" Maria asked turning to her friend.
"Maria you're our best friend and we love you. You haven't been out with anyone since David and we thought it was time you went out."
"Shouldn't that be my decision?" Maria fumed.
"Maria please don't be mad," Isabel pleaded.
"Look even if I agreed to be on the show have you ever seen how sluty those women are? I'm not like that. I won't be."
"Maria just be yourself. I'm sure the guy will choose you and you'll have a great time."
"So what exactly is this MTV show Dismissed?" Alex asked who had remained silent during their argument.
"You mean you've never seen the show Alex?" Isabel asked her boyfriend.
"No."
"Well it's this show where a guy is set up on a blind date with two girls and they each go out with the guy at the same time. Each girl gets to choose where to go for their portion of the date or what they're going to do. Both girls are on the date at the same time with the guy but each girl is given 20 minutes to be alone with the guy and time they want during the date. At the end of the date the guy picks one girl and dismisses the other," Liz explained.
"That sounds like every mans fantasy two girls at once!" Alex laughed. "Sorry," Alex exclaimed after Isabel hit him in the arm. "You know you're the only women for me Isabel."
"So it's settled you'll go on the show Maria."
"Fine Liz. I just hope I know what I'm getting myself into."
The day of the program Maria was driven to the beach where she was to meet the man she was going on a date with and the woman she would be competing against. Maria was still unsure about this whole thing especially it being her first date after David and the fact it was going to be televised.
"Here we are Miss Deluca. Are you ready to meet your competition, her name's Courtney Banks?" a man asked Maria as he helped her step out of the limo she was riding in.
"Sure." Maria stepped out of the Limo. Maria was dressed in black tank top and jean cutoff shorts. Just as Maria was looking around the beach she noticed another blonde hair women walking toward her. The other woman was dressed in black low ride jeans and a silver bikini top. Her boobs were pushed so far together she almost spilled out.
"You must be Maria," The blonde said.
"And you're Courtney?"
"Yes and I can tell you right now the man will be mine."
{Courtney talking to the camera}
"When I first saw Maria I thought she is out of here. Why would any sane man pick her over me? I mean just look at me. And eat you're heart out women because these are real," Courtney said holding her breast up to the camera. "This man won't even look notice Maria. He's going back to the hotel room with me."
{Maria talking to the camera}
"When I first saw Courtney walking toward me I thought she was a hooker. I mean who dresses like that? If this Michael guy wants a slut he can have her because I won't play that game. I'm looking for someone different from my last boyfriend. Someone who cares about me."
{Back to the women on the beach. They see another Limo drive up and are shocked at the man who walks out of the car.}
"You must be my dates?" Michael asked walking up to the ladies.
{Michael talking to the camera}
"God bless you Kyle for talking me into doing the show!"
{Back to the date at the beach}
"Hi I'm Maria," Maria said holding her hand out to Michael and giving him a small smile. "It's nice to meet you."
Michael was wearing his trademark Metallica shirt and jeans with a large silver chain hanging from it.
"This guy is a horrible dresser but he is defiantly hot. My day is defiantly looking up," Maria thought.
"And I'm Courtney," she said taking Maria hand out of Michaels and wrapping her arms around Michael. "I'll be the one you take home," Courtney whispered in his ear.
Courtney defiantly distracted Michael. She was very attractive and practically naked. What guy wouldn't look but Michael couldn't take his eyes away from Maria. He hadn't dated in a while and he was extremely attracted to her.
"So where are we going first?" Courtney asked.
"Well for my part of the date we're going to a spa where there is a hot tub," Maria said. Maria had no idea what there was to do in Cancun since it was her first time there and she figured it would allow them all time to talk and get to know each other. Not to mention she could get a good look at Michael in his bathing suit.
Michael looked at Maria and smirked. "God please let Maria wear a bikini. I think I'm in heaven," Michael thought.
"That's a great idea Maria," Courtney said grabbing onto Michael again. She just wouldn't keep her hands off Michael.
They finally arrived at the spa and they all went to get changed. Michael was the first to arrive at the hot tub and he was wearing a pair of blue swimming trunks that he had to borrow from the producers of the show. He stepped into the hot tub and sat down. He closed his eyes for a moment.
"So what do you think Mickey G?" Courtney asked.
Michael opened his eyes and his eyes almost popped out. Courtney was wearing a Gold Bikini top with a matching thong. She spun around showing herself from every angle.
"Nice," Michael answered.
Courtney slipped into the tub and rubbed herself against Michael. His attention was soon diverted when he heard Maria enter the room.
Michael was disappointed Maria wasn't wearing a tiny bikini like Courtney but he was still in awe of how beautiful she looked. She was wearing a black tankini that allowed him a small glimpse of her belly. While Courtney was hot, Maria was beautiful. He could tell Courtney and Maria were defiantly very different women.
"Michael I asked you a question!"
"What?" Michael asked turning away from Maria's eyes.
"I asked you if you liked the color of my bathing suit," Courtney asked batting her eyelashes at Michael.
"Oh you're wearing a bathing suit?" Maria sarcastically remarked. "I thought it was dental floss." Maria was about to throw up. She knew this was exactly the kind of girl she would be up against. She was a major slut. Maria wanted to claw her eyes out. Especially the way she was rubbing up against Michael. "He's mine! Get you're skancy hands off him!" Maria thought. Whoa where did that feeling come from?
Maria climbed into the hot tub and sat next to Michael but didn't touch him much to Michael's dismay. "Why was Courtney hanging all over him and Maria would barely talk to him and made sure never to touch him?" Michael wondered.
Everyone was feeling awkward being in the same hot tub together when Maria finally spoke. "So where are you from Michael?"
"Roswell New Mexico."
"So am I! But I'm attending the University of California. I wanted to get away from Roswell. Do you go to college?"
"Yes, I'm studying art at Roswell University. How about you?"
"I'm studying music. I've been trying to get discovered but to no avail yet."
"Did you ever think you're not good enough?" Courtney asked her, pissed the conversation was not about her and Michael was not responding to the way she was touching him.
"So what University are you going to?" Maria asked Courtney ignoring her question.
"I don't go to college."
"Then what do you do?" Michael asked her.
"Oh I'm a stripper."
"What a surprise," Maria laughed.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing," Maria answered.
"Jealous?"
"Of you? Hardly."
"Whatever. Maybe later I can give you a little private lap dance," Courtney said turning her attention back to Michael.
"Slut!" Maria murmured under her breath.
"What was that?" Courtney asked.
"Nothing."
Michael couldn't help but smirk at the way these women where fighting over him.
"Whoops," Courtney said letting her bikini top slid off her body.
"That's it! Here's your time-out card!" Maria yelled at Courtney.
""I'll be back," Courtney said leaning over to kiss Michael before leaving the hot tub.
Maria fumed as Michael watched Courtney walk out of the tub carrying her top with her.
After Courtney walked away from the hot tub Michael looked back at Maria. He could tell she was pissed. He started smiling.
"What are you smirking at?"
"You're totally jealous of her."
"Why would I be jealous of her? Don't you see what kind of person she is? She keeps touching you and hanging all over you, and the way she just whipped her top off!"
"You are so completely jealous."
"I am not! You're a pig! Look you can have Courtney!" Maria screamed.
"You're the one who wanted 20 minutes alone with me."
"I did not, I just wanted Courtney out of here. I can't stand her!"
"Calm down Maria. You know you're kind of sexy when you're jealous."
"I'm not jealous!" wait did he just say I'm sexy. Oh God I want this man so bad. I've been dying to touch his chest ever since I saw him in his suit. He's a god, Maria thought.
"Alright you're not jealous."
"I just don't like women like that. Who think all they have to do is flash some skin and be an easy lay and they can have any man they want. And I hate men who fall for women like that." Maria said calming down slightly.
"And how do you know I go for that kind of woman?"
"Oh please you weren't pushing her off of you. You totally loved it."
"Well at least she acts interested!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Maria asked. Of course she was interested but Michael wanted Courtney.
"Nothing."
"Look can we change the subject. I don't want to spend the next 20-minutes talking about miss-bottle job."
"What?"
"She totally dyes her hair."
"I thought you didn't want to talk about her?"
"I don't."
"Fine."
"Fine."
Maria took a sip of the wine that was sitting next to her and calmed herself down. She didn't know why she was getting this worked up over a man she barely knew.
"So, how come you don't have a boyfriend Deluca?"
"What's that supposed to mean I can get a man if I wanted to but I don't."
"Then why are you on this date?" Michael asked. Maria completely infuriated him. He didn't know why he was letting her get to him.
"Because my friends set me up, it wasn't my choice!"
"Well I didn't want to come on this date either!"
"Why am I not good enough for you?" Maria screamed.
"That's not what I said! Why are you being so difficult?"
"Pig!" Maria looked deeply into Michael's eyes and without another thought leaped into his arms and started kissing him.
Michael was caught completely off guard. He couldn't believe Maria was kissing him. He thought she hated him but god her lips felt like heaven. He never had felt like this before in his life. This woman was making him feel things for the first time in his life. He couldn't explain how he already knew this woman was very special.
Maria couldn't help but moan when she felt Michael's tongue work it's way into her mouth.
Michael was in heaven. He loved the feel of her hands as they roamed his chest. Her hands were so small, soft, but firm.
Michael's hands roamed Maria's body and before he could stop himself he slipped his hand up her top and started rubbing her back. He pulled back for a moment when he felt something strange.
Maria's mind was in a huge fog. She couldn't think. Wait a minute why did Michael stop touching her? She wanted his hands back on her. She looked up in his face and saw his questioning eyes. Oh god I just made a complete fool out of myself. He doesn't want me, she thought.
"I'm sorry," Maria said pulling farther away from Michael.
Michael was confused. "Why are you sorry?"
"I shouldn't have."
"I wanted you to."
"Really? Then why did you pull away?"
"Maria what's wrong with your back?"
"There's nothing wrong with my back."
"Maria, I felt it when I was kissing you and I touched you."
"What? Look there's nothing wrong with my back."
"Why are you denying it?" Michael asked confused at how one moment she was kissing him and the next she was pulling away from him.
"Because there's nothing wrong."
Before Maria could do anything Michael picked her up and placed her in his lap. He pulled the top of her swimsuit up enough to show the large scar. Michael delicately traced the scar with his finger. "What happened Maria?"
Michael turned Maria around in his arms and saw a single tear falling from her face. "It's alright. You don't have to tell me I shouldn't have pushed," Michael said holding Maria closer in his arms.
{Courtney talking to the camera}
Maria better enjoy her 20 minutes alone with Michael because her times almost up. Did you see the way Michael looked at me? He wants me. Maria is going to be the one dismissed.
{Back to Michael and Maria who are still in the hot tub}
"It was my ex-boyfriend David." Michael finally heard Maria speak after a few moments.
"What?"
"That's why I haven't dated anyone in a really long time. He was a really nice guy at first but then he changed. One day he accused me of cheating on him and I told him it wasn't true. He wouldn't listen to me and before I knew it he pulled a knife out on me and stabbed me." Maria couldn't believe she was telling Michael all of this.
Michael felt instantly possessive over Maria. He couldn't understand why anyone would ever want to hurt a beautiful creature like Maria. Sure she could be irritating but she was spunky and full of life and he loved that about her.
Maria wiped the tears out of her eyes and started to pull away from Michael. "Look it's not your problem. I'm shouldn't have said anything."
"I'm glad you did. Had he hurt you before," Michael asked unsure as to if he really wanted to know the answer.
"He hit me a few times before that and I had left him but I thought he had changed. I was wrong."
"I'm sorry, I know it's rough."
"What how would you know anything about it?" Maria asked confused as what he was referring to.
"Uh nothing, just that I know it must have been hard for you," Michael answered not wanting to discuss his life with Hank.
Michael tried to get closer to Maria but she was slightly resisting. "Look Michael I really like you but I just don't get involved anymore. I can't trust the way I feel anymore. I'm sorry. Maybe you would be better off with Courtney."
"Did I hear my name? I guess that means you missed me!"
Maria and Michael were caught off guard when Courtney stepped back into the tub. They had forgotten that she was coming back so soon. Courtney instantly wrapped herself around Michael again.
Michael's heart dropped when Maria said she didn't get involved. He had used the same line to other women before but for the first time he knew how much it hurt to be on the receiving line to that comment. Didn't Maria see he didn't want Courtney? Courtney was a complete airhead. She was the kind of girl you went out with to have a good time but not to get serious with. He knew he was already falling for Maria.
Maria was instantly jealous when she saw Courtney walk back into the room and get close to Michael. She wanted him so much and he was being so sweet to her but David had been nice at the beginning too and she just couldn't trust her feelings anymore. She felt Michael was different and got vibes from Michael but she was scared. She was falling for Michael.
Michael was about to throw Courtney off of him but when he looked at Maria he knew there was no chance in hell she was ever going to be with him. If she wanted him to be with Courtney well then he would give her what she wanted.
"I hope you weren't too bored without me. Are you ready for a good time Michael because it's my turn for our part of the date?"
"Sure, I'm up for anything," Michael smirked at Courtney.
"Glad to hear it," Courtney said kissing Michael on the cheek. "The tub's been fun but I'm ready for some action. Let's get out of these wet clothes."
"What?" Maria said spitting out her wine she was sipping.
"I mean let's get changed. I'm taking you guys to a club.
Michael tried to hide his disappointment. He hated clubs. There were always too many people.
"I guess we should get going," Maria said getting out of the tub.
The three went to separate rooms and changed. Michael came out in another Metallica t-shirt and jeans.
Courtney arrived in a skintight, practically see through black dress, while Maria opted for a fuchsia miniskirt and striped tank top.
The trio finally arrived at The Pink Lagoon. Just as Michael predicted there was a huge crowd. Michael had a hard time looking away from Maria. He wanted her so badly and wanted to touch her so badly but she wanted him to be with Courtney.
"So Mickey G. Are you going dance with me?" Courtney asked.
"I don't dance."
"Well then I guess I'll just have to dance for you," Courtney said winking at Michael. He couldn't believe the way this girl was throwing herself at him. Why was she trying so hard?
Maria felt uncomfortable watching Courtney and Michael together. She grabbed herself a coke and then decided to go dance herself. Courtney was infuriated when she noticed Michael was watching Maria dance and not her.
Michael loved watching Maria's body move on the dance floor. She was nothing like Courtney. She didn't try to be sexy she just was. Michael was enjoying watching Maria but soon grew angry when he saw a crowd of men watching her. When one walked over to Maria, Michael started to get up and go over to her but Courtney stopped him.
"It looks at if Maria has found someone else she is interested in. Good for her."
Courtney's words stuck into his head. Maria didn't want him. He stopped himself from going over and hitting the man who was making the moves on Maria.
The guy that was making the moves on her did not amuse Maria but she didn't want to push him away after she saw the interaction between Courtney and Michael. If Michael was going to be with Courtney she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her miserable so she decided to dance with the guy. When his hands started to roam her body she pushed them off. She wanted Michael's hands on her not this guys.
Just then an announcer over the microphone started to talk. "It's a tradition on Monday's to have open mike night and we have a lady out in the audience who has already picked the song she wants to sing for her man tonight. So Courtney Banks we're ready for you."
Courtney smiled at Michael as she made her way to the stage. She knew Maria was a singer and she wanted to prove she was every bit as good as Miss Deluca.
"This song is for Michael," Courtney said as the music began.
The crowd went wild when they recognized the song.
{Song by The Divinyls}
Courtney started singing with the music.
I love myself I want you to love me,
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself I want you to find me
I forget myself I want you to remind me
As Courtney was singing she walked off the stage with her microphone. The crowd separated as she made her way off to Michael who was sitting at a table. The crowd was cheering Courtney on as she sang.
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else Oh no, oh no, oh no
Courtney let her hands roam over her body as she sang and pulled at her dress showing Michael more of her skin.
You're the one who makes me happy honey
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing, I want to make you mine
I close my eyes, and see you before me
Think I would die if you were to ignore me
Any fool could see just how much I adore you,
Courtney got on her knees eye level with Michael's crouch as she sang the next line
I'd get down on my knees I'd do anything for you
Courtney display and her song sickened Maria. Worse yet she couldn't understand why the crowd loved it. Her voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard. She guessed the crowd just like the show she was putting on. She tried to ignore Courtney and dance with another man when she noticed Courtney get on Michael's lap and dance the last lines to her song.
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else oh no, oh no, oh no
I want you, I don't want anybody else,
And when I think about you I touch
Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah,
Courtney put her microphone down on the table and started kissing Michael again. Michael complied at first but then pulled away and looked at Maria.
Maria was staring at them and Michael thought he saw a look of hurt wash over her but then she turned her attention back to the guy she was dancing with.
Courtney made her way back to the stage and gave the microphone back. When she headed back to the table Michael was at she saw he was missing. She found him walking over by Maria.
"Can I have this dance?" Michael asked Maria hoping she wouldn't mind. He didn't like the way the other guy was looking at her.
"I guess so since you are my date," Maria said.
Just then a slow song started and Michael took Maria in his arms.
"I thought you didn't dance?" Maria asked referring to his comment to Courtney.
"You just looked like you weren't having a good time with that other guy. I thought you wanted me to save you."
"Michael I was fine! I don't need you to save me. I can take care of myself." Maria said pushing him away.
"If you could take care of yourself David wouldn't have stabbed you!"
Michael could see the hurt expression on Maria's face. He walked over and took Maria's hand. "Look I'm sorry. I just don't want anyone to hurt you. I was worried. I know you're a big girl but I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
Maria smiled at Michael's nice words. "I'm sorry I got so upset. That guy was a jerk. I just wish..."
"Hey Michael I thought I lost you. It's Maria's turn to go for a time out. So try and have fun without us," Courtney said. She was pissed that even after her little show Michael still seemed interested in Maria.
"Wait, what were you about to say Maria?" Michael asked her before she left.
Maria looked over at Courtney and then back at Michael. She couldn't tell him she wished they could be together and she was falling in love with him. She felt crazy feeling this way about someone she barely knew. "It wasn't important," Maria said turning and leaving Courtney and Michael alone.

Maria climbed into the hot tub and sat next to Michael but didn't touch him much to Michael's dismay. "Why was Courtney hanging all over him and Maria would barely talk to him and made sure never to touch him?" Michael wondered.
Everyone was feeling awkward being in the same hot tub together when Maria finally spoke. "So where are you from Michael?"
"Roswell New Mexico."
"So am I! But I'm attending the University of California. I wanted to get away from Roswell. Do you go to college?"
"Yes, I'm studying art at Roswell University. How about you?"
"I'm studying music. I've been trying to get discovered but to no avail yet."
"Did you ever think you're not good enough?" Courtney asked her, pissed the conversation was not about her and Michael was not responding to the way she was touching him.
"So what University are you going to?" Maria asked Courtney ignoring her question.
"I don't go to college."
"Then what do you do?" Michael asked her.
"Oh I'm a stripper."
"What a surprise," Maria laughed.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing," Maria answered.
"Jealous?"
"Of you? Hardly."
"Whatever. Maybe later I can give you a little private lap dance," Courtney said turning her attention back to Michael.
"Slut!" Maria murmured under her breath.
"What was that?" Courtney asked.
"Nothing."
Michael couldn't help but smirk at the way these women where fighting over him.
"Whoops," Courtney said letting her bikini top slid off her body.
"That's it! Here's your time-out card!" Maria yelled at Courtney.
""I'll be back," Courtney said leaning over to kiss Michael before leaving the hot tub.
Maria fumed as Michael watched Courtney walk out of the tub carrying her top with her.
After Courtney walked away from the hot tub Michael looked back at Maria. He could tell she was pissed. He started smiling.
"What are you smirking at?"
"You're totally jealous of her."
"Why would I be jealous of her? Don't you see what kind of person she is? She keeps touching you and hanging all over you, and the way she just whipped her top off!"
"You are so completely jealous."
"I am not! You're a pig! Look you can have Courtney!" Maria screamed.
"You're the one who wanted 20 minutes alone with me."
"I did not, I just wanted Courtney out of here. I can't stand her!"
"Calm down Maria. You know you're kind of sexy when you're jealous."
"I'm not jealous!" wait did he just say I'm sexy. Oh God I want this man so bad. I've been dying to touch his chest ever since I saw him in his suit. He's a god, Maria thought.
"Alright you're not jealous."
"I just don't like women like that. Who think all they have to do is flash some skin and be an easy lay and they can have any man they want. And I hate men who fall for women like that." Maria said calming down slightly.
"And how do you know I go for that kind of woman?"
"Oh please you weren't pushing her off of you. You totally loved it."
"Well at least she acts interested!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Maria asked. Of course she was interested but Michael wanted Courtney.
"Nothing."
"Look can we change the subject. I don't want to spend the next 20-minutes talking about miss-bottle job."
"What?"
"She totally dyes her hair."
"I thought you didn't want to talk about her?"
"I don't."
"Fine."
"Fine."
Maria took a sip of the wine that was sitting next to her and calmed herself down. She didn't know why she was getting this worked up over a man she barely knew.
"So, how come you don't have a boyfriend Deluca?"
"What's that supposed to mean I can get a man if I wanted to but I don't."
"Then why are you on this date?" Michael asked. Maria completely infuriated him. He didn't know why he was letting her get to him.
"Because my friends set me up, it wasn't my choice!"
"Well I didn't want to come on this date either!"
"Why am I not good enough for you?" Maria screamed.
"That's not what I said! Why are you being so difficult?"
"Pig!" Maria looked deeply into Michael's eyes and without another thought leaped into his arms and started kissing him.
Michael was caught completely off guard. He couldn't believe Maria was kissing him. He thought she hated him but god her lips felt like heaven. He never had felt like this before in his life. This woman was making him feel things for the first time in his life. He couldn't explain how he already knew this woman was very special.
Maria couldn't help but moan when she felt Michael's tongue work it's way into her mouth.
Michael was in heaven. He loved the feel of her hands as they roamed his chest. Her hands were so small, soft, but firm.
Michael's hands roamed Maria's body and before he could stop himself he slipped his hand up her top and started rubbing her back. He pulled back for a moment when he felt something strange.
Maria's mind was in a huge fog. She couldn't think. Wait a minute why did Michael stop touching her? She wanted his hands back on her. She looked up in his face and saw his questioning eyes. Oh god I just made a complete fool out of myself. He doesn't want me, she thought.
"I'm sorry," Maria said pulling farther away from Michael.
Michael was confused. "Why are you sorry?"
"I shouldn't have."
"I wanted you to."
"Really? Then why did you pull away?"
"Maria what's wrong with your back?"
"There's nothing wrong with my back."
"Maria, I felt it when I was kissing you and I touched you."
"What? Look there's nothing wrong with my back."
"Why are you denying it?" Michael asked confused at how one moment she was kissing him and the next she was pulling away from him.
"Because there's nothing wrong."
Before Maria could do anything Michael picked her up and placed her in his lap. He pulled the top of her swimsuit up enough to show the large scar. Michael delicately traced the scar with his finger. "What happened Maria?"
Michael turned Maria around in his arms and saw a single tear falling from her face. "It's alright. You don't have to tell me I shouldn't have pushed," Michael said holding Maria closer in his arms.
{Courtney talking to the camera}
Maria better enjoy her 20 minutes alone with Michael because her times almost up. Did you see the way Michael looked at me? He wants me. Maria is going to be the one dismissed.
{Back to Michael and Maria who are still in the hot tub}
"It was my ex-boyfriend David." Michael finally heard Maria speak after a few moments.
"What?"
"That's why I haven't dated anyone in a really long time. He was a really nice guy at first but then he changed. One day he accused me of cheating on him and I told him it wasn't true. He wouldn't listen to me and before I knew it he pulled a knife out on me and stabbed me." Maria couldn't believe she was telling Michael all of this.
Michael felt instantly possessive over Maria. He couldn't understand why anyone would ever want to hurt a beautiful creature like Maria. Sure she could be irritating but she was spunky and full of life and he loved that about her.
Maria wiped the tears out of her eyes and started to pull away from Michael. "Look it's not your problem. I'm shouldn't have said anything."
"I'm glad you did. Had he hurt you before," Michael asked unsure as to if he really wanted to know the answer.
"He hit me a few times before that and I had left him but I thought he had changed. I was wrong."
"I'm sorry, I know it's rough."
"What how would you know anything about it?" Maria asked confused as what he was referring to.
"Uh nothing, just that I know it must have been hard for you," Michael answered not wanting to discuss his life with Hank.
Michael tried to get closer to Maria but she was slightly resisting. "Look Michael I really like you but I just don't get involved anymore. I can't trust the way I feel anymore. I'm sorry. Maybe you would be better off with Courtney."
"Did I hear my name? I guess that means you missed me!"
Maria and Michael were caught off guard when Courtney stepped back into the tub. They had forgotten that she was coming back so soon. Courtney instantly wrapped herself around Michael again.
Michael's heart dropped when Maria said she didn't get involved. He had used the same line to other women before but for the first time he knew how much it hurt to be on the receiving line to that comment. Didn't Maria see he didn't want Courtney? Courtney was a complete airhead. She was the kind of girl you went out with to have a good time but not to get serious with. He knew he was already falling for Maria.
Maria was instantly jealous when she saw Courtney walk back into the room and get close to Michael. She wanted him so much and he was being so sweet to her but David had been nice at the beginning too and she just couldn't trust her feelings anymore. She felt Michael was different and got vibes from Michael but she was scared. She was falling for Michael.
Michael was about to throw Courtney off of him but when he looked at Maria he knew there was no chance in hell she was ever going to be with him. If she wanted him to be with Courtney well then he would give her what she wanted.
"I hope you weren't too bored without me. Are you ready for a good time Michael because it's my turn for our part of the date?"
"Sure, I'm up for anything," Michael smirked at Courtney.
"Glad to hear it," Courtney said kissing Michael on the cheek. "The tub's been fun but I'm ready for some action. Let's get out of these wet clothes."
"What?" Maria said spitting out her wine she was sipping.
"I mean let's get changed. I'm taking you guys to a club.
Michael tried to hide his disappointment. He hated clubs. There were always too many people.
"I guess we should get going," Maria said getting out of the tub.
The three went to separate rooms and changed. Michael came out in another Metallica t-shirt and jeans.
Courtney arrived in a skintight, practically see through black dress, while Maria opted for a fuchsia miniskirt and striped tank top.
The trio finally arrived at The Pink Lagoon. Just as Michael predicted there was a huge crowd. Michael had a hard time looking away from Maria. He wanted her so badly and wanted to touch her so badly but she wanted him to be with Courtney.
"So Mickey G. Are you going dance with me?" Courtney asked.
"I don't dance."
"Well then I guess I'll just have to dance for you," Courtney said winking at Michael. He couldn't believe the way this girl was throwing herself at him. Why was she trying so hard?
Maria felt uncomfortable watching Courtney and Michael together. She grabbed herself a coke and then decided to go dance herself. Courtney was infuriated when she noticed Michael was watching Maria dance and not her.
Michael loved watching Maria's body move on the dance floor. She was nothing like Courtney. She didn't try to be sexy she just was. Michael was enjoying watching Maria but soon grew angry when he saw a crowd of men watching her. When one walked over to Maria, Michael started to get up and go over to her but Courtney stopped him.
"It looks at if Maria has found someone else she is interested in. Good for her."
Courtney's words stuck into his head. Maria didn't want him. He stopped himself from going over and hitting the man who was making the moves on Maria.
The guy that was making the moves on her did not amuse Maria but she didn't want to push him away after she saw the interaction between Courtney and Michael. If Michael was going to be with Courtney she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her miserable so she decided to dance with the guy. When his hands started to roam her body she pushed them off. She wanted Michael's hands on her not this guys.
Just then an announcer over the microphone started to talk. "It's a tradition on Monday's to have open mike night and we have a lady out in the audience who has already picked the song she wants to sing for her man tonight. So Courtney Banks we're ready for you."
Courtney smiled at Michael as she made her way to the stage. She knew Maria was a singer and she wanted to prove she was every bit as good as Miss Deluca.
"This song is for Michael," Courtney said as the music began.
The crowd went wild when they recognized the song.
{Song by The Divinyls}
Courtney started singing with the music.
I love myself I want you to love me,
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself I want you to find me
I forget myself I want you to remind me
As Courtney was singing she walked off the stage with her microphone. The crowd separated as she made her way off to Michael who was sitting at a table. The crowd was cheering Courtney on as she sang.
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else Oh no, oh no, oh no
Courtney let her hands roam over her body as she sang and pulled at her dress showing Michael more of her skin.
You're the one who makes me happy honey
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing, I want to make you mine
I close my eyes, and see you before me
Think I would die if you were to ignore me
Any fool could see just how much I adore you,
Courtney got on her knees eye level with Michael's crouch as she sang the next line
I'd get down on my knees I'd do anything for you
Courtney display and her song sickened Maria. Worse yet she couldn't understand why the crowd loved it. Her voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard. She guessed the crowd just like the show she was putting on. She tried to ignore Courtney and dance with another man when she noticed Courtney get on Michael's lap and dance the last lines to her song.
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else oh no, oh no, oh no
I want you, I don't want anybody else,
And when I think about you I touch
Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah,
Courtney put her microphone down on the table and started kissing Michael again. Michael complied at first but then pulled away and looked at Maria.
Maria was staring at them and Michael thought he saw a look of hurt wash over her but then she turned her attention back to the guy she was dancing with.
Courtney made her way back to the stage and gave the microphone back. When she headed back to the table Michael was at she saw he was missing. She found him walking over by Maria.
"Can I have this dance?" Michael asked Maria hoping she wouldn't mind. He didn't like the way the other guy was looking at her.
"I guess so since you are my date," Maria said.
Just then a slow song started and Michael took Maria in his arms.
"I thought you didn't dance?" Maria asked referring to his comment to Courtney.
"You just looked like you weren't having a good time with that other guy. I thought you wanted me to save you."
"Michael I was fine! I don't need you to save me. I can take care of myself." Maria said pushing him away.
"If you could take care of yourself David wouldn't have stabbed you!"
Michael could see the hurt expression on Maria's face. He walked over and took Maria's hand. "Look I'm sorry. I just don't want anyone to hurt you. I was worried. I know you're a big girl but I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
Maria smiled at Michael's nice words. "I'm sorry I got so upset. That guy was a jerk. I just wish..."
"Hey Michael I thought I lost you. It's Maria's turn to go for a time out. So try and have fun without us," Courtney said. She was pissed that even after her little show Michael still seemed interested in Maria.
"Wait, what were you about to say Maria?" Michael asked her before she left.
Maria looked over at Courtney and then back at Michael. She couldn't tell him she wished they could be together and she was falling in love with him. She felt crazy feeling this way about someone she barely knew. "It wasn't important," Maria said turning and leaving Courtney and Michael alone.
