April 3rd- Sunday
So Ive been slacking with my writing for the weekend. I promise i will never do it again, no matter how busy i am, but a lot has happened since Friday.
Let me start from where i left off....
Lilys house was dark when we got there.
Me- Oh good, maybe hes asleep. Lars we can go...
Lily- No! My parents are at some party for the Head Doctors Association or something. Besides, you can see Michael's windo from here, its on the
other side of the house.
Me- Oh....
Well Maybe i shouldnt be here since you parents arent home.
Lily- You dork, youve been here plenty of times while they were gone. Sheesh just come on will ya?
So Lily dragged me to the front door. I dont remember my feet touching the ground. By the time we got to the door, i could feel my legs shaking.
My palms had already started sweating in the limo.
We walked into the dimly lit house, and suddenly Lily was all "Oh! I forgot to lock the back door."
She was acting VERY strange, so i knew something was up. I had the right mind to high-tail it out of there and throw myself into one of those drainage
grates in the street that the alligators are supposed to live in, but before i could, i saw Michael coming down the stairs.
** Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no...**
I got so nervouse that i somehow tripped over my own feet, (gee ya think? not like they are HUGE or anything), fell into a table and knocked over about 20 little picture frames Mrs Moscovitz
keeps there. I think i hit my head on the way down... pretty little stars......
Michael- Hey, c'mon, you ok?
I must have had the dumbest look on my face because Michael didnt say anything for a minute. (It seemed like an hour)
So i decided to break the silence. Its better to just get everything out in the open, for it to be done and over with.
Me- Michael I...
Michael- Shhhh...
He put a finger to my lips and held out his hand. Of course i took it! This might be the only time in my life i can feel the warmth of his hand pressing into mine.
He led me into the living room, where there was a bowl of popcorn rested between two lpillows on the floor.
Michael- Care to sit?
The air around us changed in an instant. I suddenly had a strange feeling that everything was going to be ok. It was strange how quiet the house was.
Michael and i each took a pillow. He clicked the remote to the vcr and the picture that came up on the tv screen brought a smile to my face...
It was an old home movie of Lilys 10th birthday party. Memories flooded my head and i re-lived each scene. It showed my mom blowing up balloons. Mr Moscovitz
was seen playing football with the boys to keep them out of the way, and there was Lily, wearing her little red party dress, yelling at Michael for sticking his
finger in the birthday cake. What id didnt show, i remembered, was Michael chasing me around, threatening to wipe the frosting on my face. My screaming was
heard perfectly on the tape, so much that it drowned out something Mrs Moscovitz said into the camera.
Michael- Do you know what she said right there Mia?
Ohhhh He called me Mia, much MUCH better than "hey you"
Me- Um, no, I couldnt hear it through all of my screaming.
I was staring at the floor by then, blushing. When i looked up, Michael was looking straight into my eyes.
Michael- She told my father how i should never let a sweet girl like that get away from me.
Me- oh... But it was only a game of chase Michael.
Michael- keep watching
So the video played on untill the party was over. I thought the tape was finished so i started to get up.
Michael- Wait, its not done yet.
Me- Theres more?
We sat there in silence, as the video played on.
Mr Moscovitz decided to shoot the aftermath of the party. Lily was asleep in the floor, her new encyclopedia clutched in her hands.
Then it showed Mrs Moscovitz, cleaning up for a minute when Michael walked in behind her. It looked like he had just gotten out of the shower. (he used ivory soap back then too)
Mr.M- So Michael, did you have fun at the party?
Michael- I guess
Mr.M- *stifled laugh* Helen said that Mia fell asleep on the way home. You must have worn her out from all that running around.
What i saw next made my jaw drop.
HE WAS BLUSHING!!!!!!!!
Mr.M- Michael, are you blushing??? *laughs*
Mrs.M- Oh leave him alone. Michael hun, dont be embarrassed. Weve known for years about your crush on Mia. Its perfectly normal sweetheart, especially for boys your age.
Its become very obvious lately, the way you are always messing with her. Dont you think you should let her know?
Michael then got very flustered
Michael- No way mom! Do you know what a dork i would be? She would probably laugh in my face, or push me down, or ... something!
Mia wont ever like me, and even if i DID have a crush on her, its none of your business.
He ran out of the room and Mr.M told Mrs. M that he didnt mean to upset Michael. Mrs.M went into a speech about adolescent boys and Michael clicked off the tape.
I sat there staring at the dark, blank screen. The only light was coming from a few candles on the end tables that i didnt notice before.
I didnt know what to say. I sat there speechless. All this time.... this whole time, and he couldnt tell me?
I was on cloud 9, speechless, but none the less, on cloud 9.
