Now, let's see how Lilly's devious plan pans out shall we?
********************************************************************
Mia's POV
I'm just heading down to Lilly's I'm glad Michael isn't going to be there, I don't think I particulary want to see him.
Michael's POV
I finally have the apartment to myself. Lilly left about half an hour ago, and my parents left a little before that.
I'm free to walk around the house shirtless, without Lilly telling me to cover up all the time. And I can raid the fridge without being told I'm a pig.
Wait, who's that knocking at the door? Someone to spoil my night? Just great.
I opened the door to see Mia standing there. Lars was just heading off. What is she doing here? Did she come to see me?
"Um, hi, Michael, I didn't expect to see you here."
Huh? Who did she expect to see then? Surely she knew Lilly was out.
Mia's POV
When the door had opened, I was startled to see Michael standing there. Shirtless none the less! I nearly died. What was he doing here? Lilly had said he had a Computer Club meeting. He actually looked pretty shocked to see me too, hadn't Lilly told him I was coming over?
"Uh, can I come in or am I supposed to stay out here all night?" I asked.
"Uh, ok, sure, I guess." He stumbled on the words.
I went in and sat on the couch. Where was Lilly?
Michael sat down opposite me.
"So, um, not that I mind, but why are you here? Did you want some help with your algebra? I know I haven't helped you much this week."
What? Did he think I was here to see HIM???
"No, that's ok, I'm here to see Lilly. Where is she?" I asked. I looked around the apartment, but I couldn't see any signs that there was anyone else here besides Michael.
"Lilly? She's out with Boris tonight. Didn't she tell you?" He replied, surprised.
"What? She told me to come over! She said your parents were going to be at a function, and that you had a Computer Club thing. Why would she lie?"
"Oh God, that Lilly. I'm going to kill her," muttered Michael.
"Michael, what's going on? Both you and Lilly have been really weird this week. Please?"
"Huh, well I guess I should just tell you," he said.
There really was something to tell? Tell me what? What is going on?
"Lilly has been trying to get me to talk to you about something since Wednesday," continued Michael.
"Tell me what Michael? Please, just tell me." I was begging, I HAD to know.
Michael's POV
I am so going to kill Lilly for putting me in this situation? She thought I'd put her in a bad situation! Ha!
Now I have to explain to Mia that she doesn't belong with Kenny, and that she belongs... with me. Aw, man, she is gonna laugh in my face.
I moved over to sit next to her on the couch. She looked so confused.
"Well, first of all," I started, "You don't belong with Kenny."
"What? You're here to tell me I don't belong with Kenny? I'm sorry, Michael, but I fail to see what business it is of yours."
"It's my business because I know you would never be happy with Kenny. And I know you would be better off if you were with someone else instead."
Here goes nothing. I hope Lilly was telling the truth about Mia feeling the same way about me as I felt about her.
"Well then, please, Michael, since you seem to know everything, tell me, who do I belong with?" she asked. Her eyes were practically begging me to kiss her.
So I did. "Me." I said as I moved in to kiss her.
Mia's POV
Whoa! What just happened? Did Michael Moscovitz just kiss me?
Did he just tell me I belonged with him, and kiss me? Evidently, since his lips were still glued to mine, he did.
It was a good kiss. I hated to break apart from it. But I had to ask him something.
I pulled away and looked him in straight the eyes. "Michael, are you saying that you... you like me?" I asked nervously.
"No." he replied.
Wait a minute. Did he just say NO??? He tells me I belong with him, kisses me like that and then tells me he doesn't like me? Did I miss something?
"I'm saying I love you," he finished.
Phew.
"Oh, ok, well, I love you too."
He loves me!!! Michael Moscovitz loves me!!!
"Oh good, I was hoping you would say that," he said as he pulled me into him for another kiss.
Michael's POV
Everything is so great, not only did I confess that I love her, but she confessed that she loves me too!
Ha, take that Kenny!
Wait! What about Kenny?
I pulled away from Mia, she wasn't expecting it and looked disappointed. "What?" she asked.
"What are we going to do about Kenny?" I really didn't want to bring up his name, but if there was even a chance Mia was going to break my heart by telling me she wasn't going to break up with Kenny, I had to know.
"Kenny who?" she said teasingly.
"Mia, I'm serious. I don't feel comfortable doing... this, if you haven't broken up with him yet. You are going to break up with him now aren't you?"
"Of course I am, but what? Do you want me to do it now?"
I looked at her with the best puppy dog expression I could pull.
"Alright, fine. Give me the phone."
I handed her the phone and she walked off into Lilly's room for some privacy.
While she was gone I used the time to go into the kitchen to get some food.
I was just spooning out ice cream when she walked back in. "Done," she announced.
"What happened?" I asked, I didn't really want to know the sordid details but I wanted to be sure it was over.
"I told him that I didn't like him that way, and that I thought we were better off as friends."
"Good. Here, I got us some ice cream," I picked up the bowls and carried them into the lounge room, and placed them on the table.
We sat down, and just looked at each other. Damn, I knew this was going to be awkward.
I picked up my bowl of ice cream, just for something to do, but she took it from my hands and put it back on the table. Then she kissed me.
The ice cream was completly melted before we got around to eating it.
