**Chapter 6**

Previously...

Forget this. I'm going out. I wonder if Mia's coming home from Tina's. Maybe I'll see her on the way...

But that's not the reason I'm going out, of course. I need some fresh air. Besides, I think we need some more milk...or something.

*********

Mia's POV

It's nearing 5 o'clock and it's getting a bit chilly. I'm finally on my way home from Tina's. We talked for an hour and half or so and had something to eat. Only then did she allow me to leave.

I kick a pebble with my toe as I walk on the sidewalk. Lars was waiting in the lobby of Tina's apartment building when I came down. His eyes held questions but he didn't ask them.

Now, he's slowly walking behind me, as his eyes dart from side to side, looking for anybody ready to pounce on me.

As if.

It's getting really cold. I tug my dark blue jacket closer to my body as the wind blows my hair over my face and obscures my vision. I slow down a bit, flicking pieces of pesky hair from my face.

"Cold, isn't it?"

I look up and am face to face with none other than...

My supposed romantic partner, Andrew.

I smile faintly. He's probably heard the rumors and is probably as freaked out as I am.

"Yeah...all of sudden!"

He smiles at me. He IS pretty cute. But I'm not into blondes...I'm more into brunettes...

"So Mia...I guess you've heard about 'us'." Cringe. I guess I was right.

I forced a laugh. "Yeah...my boyfriend broke up with me for it."

Whoops. That was definitely WAY too much information. Insert foot in mouth.

Andrew looked concerned, "I'm sorry! Do you need me to talk to him?" I shook my head. "No...it's okay."

He looked concerned for a second longer. He put a hand on my shoulder and peered into my eyes. My stomach sort of flip-flopped.

But not in a good way. Not in a Michael-just-grabbed-my-wrist way.

I nodded nervously. He moved a bit closer, his hand on my arm.

I backed away, "Umm...Andrew?"

He smiled faintly, "well everyone already thinks we're together, so..."

He moved even closer, his free hand coming up to my neck. Okay, he was getting too close for comfort, "Andrew..."

He was so close to me now. Almost closer than Michael had been. He was grinning. "Andrew!" I backed away a little. I turned slightly. Where was Lars?! Isn't this the sorta thing that he's supposed to stop!

This was no good!

Michael's POV

I'm kinda pathetic. Scratch that. Really pathetic.

I've been wandering around for a good half hour, hoping to "accidentally" run into Mia.

Score! There's Lars! He seems a bit distracted though. It seems that a dog has made a bit of a mess on his leather shoes. That's beyond disgusting.

Where's Mia? If Lars is here, than Mia's gotta be around here somewhere...

What the Hell is going on!?!? OMG...Andrew is so going to die.

Mia's POV

I shoved Andrew out of the way and backed up. He kept looking at me and he walked closer still.

Okay, this is getting old.

"Andrew! What are you doing?"

He looked confused, but ignored me. He kept walking forward, and I kept walking back. It was an odd little game. I put my hand out and stopped his progress.

"Andrew! Stop!"

He looked at me curiously, "I thought you were into me!" He walked forward still. Does he not understand me! He's hand was on my wrist. I was starting to get mad. I shoved him away. Hard. He stumbled a little and paused, just looking at me.

Michael's POV

I quickened my steps. That loser Andrew was definitely trying to put the moves on Mia.

And she definitely wasn't into it. She kept backing away and I saw her shove him a little.

I started a little jog and reached Mia just as I saw her push him roughly aside. That's my girl!

Well not my girl, but you know...

Andrew had fallen back a bit and was just looking at Mia, who was glaring at him.

"Mia? What's going on here?"

She turned and looked at me. Her eyes shone with different emotions. I tried to read her face and was met with many different feelings.

Above else, she looked upset. Her grey eyes were frowning and she bit her lower lip. "Michael?"

I looked at her. I still didn't know what to say. I guess this means that Nathalie was wrong? I'm confused.

It's time we cleared things up.

"Mia? Can we go and talk somewhere?"

Mia's eyes widened, but she nodded. She shot an angry glance at the blonde boy who was just staring at us during our exchange.

He piped up, "Mia, wait a minute, I thought..."

I shot him a glance and he shrunk back and stalked off, muttering.

I turned back to Mia.

"Princess!" We turned around and faced Lars who was striding quickly towards us.

Mia smiled a bit, Lars was carrying his shoes, which were probably more expensive than my car, in his hand. He was walking in his black socks and it was truly a hilarious sight.

"Is everything alright? I got a bit, preoccupied." Mia laughed as Lars made a sheepish gesture toward his shoes.

Mia nodded in the affirmative and informed Lars that she and I were going to walk for a bit, but we'd return. Lars nodded and followed us at a distance. We began to walk toward a small grove of trees. We stopped in a semi- clearing and I took a deep breath. I didn't even know what I was going to say. Or why I had even left the house.

But here I was and I had to say something.

Mia's POV

So Michael and I are in this clearing. It's so romantic that I could burst. It's a rare place in the city where the scenery is calm and secluded.

And he wants to talk.

I don't know what about. My heart is pounding rapidly and I have no idea what to expect.

It's about last night. I'm almost positive. It's only been last night? Oh my, it seems like so much longer. So much has happened since then. Between Nathalie, Princess Lessons, Andrew and Ice Cubes, it feels like a month.

A very, very trying month.

Michael takes a deep breath and starts to talk, "Mia, we need to talk about last night."

Oh no. That is NEVER a good beginning. That always means something bad. He's going to tell me that it was a mistake. That he was so delusional with sleep that he thought I was Judith or someone.

He's going to tell me that he never wants to see me again because now he knows how I feel about him and it totally grosses him out.

My world comes crashing down around me. I try to hold back tears as he keeps talking.

Michael's POV

I can't believe that I am about to tell Mia how much I like her. How much I have always liked her.

How beautiful she is when she bites her lip nervously.

However, I begin badly, "Mia, we need to talk about last night."

She sucks in a breath. Crap, I've made her nervous.

"Well, Mia..."

But before I can continue, she interrupts me.

"Look Michael, I understand!"

Huh? My eyebrows furrow in, what I hope, is a questioning gesture.

"I understand, Michael!" She repeats. I'm horrified to see that tears have formed in her stunningly gray eyes. "Mia?"

She shakes her head slightly, "You don't have to say anything! I know that you think I'm a complete freak! And that you were completely repulsed last night! So I'm sorry!"

And she turned on her heel and began to stomp off, leaving me completely stunned.

It took me a couple seconds to register what was going on before I reacted.

I ran quickly after her and when I caught up, I put my hand on her shoulder and turned her around.

Her face was red and embarrassed and her eyes were shining.

I only saw one way of clearing up this situation.

So I kissed her.
