April 3rd- After Dinner


Frank is sooooo awesome! He made dinner tonight and it was COMPLETELY vegetarian! Go Mr G!
At least mom picked a guy who is respective of my feelings about meat.

Anyway, back to friday night....


So there we were, in silence after watching the tape of Lilly's birthday. I dont remember what i was thinking at that exact
moment.

I looked over at Michael, and our eyes met. He moved the popcorn bowl and scooted closer to me.

He had both of my hands in his.


Michael- Im sorry if any of this has made you feel uncomfortable. I totally understand if you are mad at me, but i thought it was
time to let you in on all of my secrets.

He paused for a minute as if he were deep in thought

Mia, i have been in love with you since the first time Lilly brought you over for dinner. I think it was the way you hid your
turkey in your napkin, and only ate vegetables. I thought it was totally wierd! But i knew that there was something about you,
that you had a secret, and i was intrigued. I felt pretty weird abot it, because im three years older than you. I never thought i would
be telling you one day.


I was trying so hard not to let my jaw drop. Id hate to ruin the moment with my mouth hanging wide open.

Michael- After dinner that night, i went up to my room and wrote a song.


Wow, hes been playing for THAT long? I knew he played, and he was good... i mean GOOD.

Then Michael reached for his guitar, which was resting on the couch behind us. He started playing "Tall Drink of Water"
I love that song. He had first played it for me after the Cultural Diversity dance. Boy was i dumb. I cant believe i didnt make the
connection! No wonder he seemed so happy to play it for me whenever i asked. I wonder what else ive missed? Being this dense
cant be good for ones self actualization. Oh god now i sound like Lilly.


Me- You...You wrote that about me?

Michael- yes. I have others too, would you like to hear them?

Me- please (boy was i turning red!)

Michael played on into the night, and i just sat there, amazed that this guy had a crush on ME. Hes playing me songs that he wrote
about ME. He liked me before i turned into..well...ME.

I think we sat there for two hours. Michael playing, and me just sitting there listening. I could listen to him for hours.

He looks at me while he sings.

My heart is melting.....


It was almost midnight when he was finished. I told Michael that i needed to go, but i didnt want to! I wanted to hear everything that Michael had stored
in his brain about me. What each prank he pulled on me meant, why he was so determined to chase me around when we were little... If he would
still walk around with no shirt on when i came over....

Michael- There is time for all of that, im not going anywhere. I wish we could stay in this exact spot forever. You dont understand how long ive waited for this.

I sat there staring at him. Our eyes locked on to one anothers.

Thats when it happened....

I dont know exactly how. It was kind of like in that movie Sixteen Candles when Molly ringwald and that guy that plays Jake were sitting on the dining room table
over her birthday cake. Except we were on pillows, not a dining room table. I thought at first he was leaning in to hug me. Somehow i got up the nerve to make
it more than that, and he had the same idea. we were both scared, our lips barely touched. I could feel his breath on my lips

HE KISSED ME!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD I WAS JUST KISSED BY MICHAEL MOSCOVTIZ!!!!!!


And i liked it.....
