Hey sorry it's been a while....I've been very busy with lots of stuff like final assessments and exam studying...anyways review please and I hope everybody watched the finale!! And if u didn't shame on u... u missed the greatest Tony/Michelle moment of all time!

Disclaimer: obviously I don't own 24 or any of the characters

Only 2 hours till her date with Tony...she better get going, by the time she took a shower and got ready it would be 2 hours. After Tony had asked her out she thought to herself...was she nervous...no not really she had told herself...well now that it was only 2 hours till her date...she thought about that question again...this time she answered quickly... YES, yes she was nervous, what would she say, what would he say, would he kiss her at the end, what if she said something stupid, what if she didn't wear the right thing, what if she tripped and fell, what if...all these thoughts kept coming, different things that could happen, most things were things she'd mess up on...

"Michelle....Michelle..."

Michelle snapped out of her thoughts and back into reality. Kim was standing over her...

"Hey Michelle....isn't your date with Tony in like 2 hours?!?"

Michelle had forgotten she had told Kim, but she had been so excited and Kim was one of her close friend even though they were about 8 years apart in age, that didn't matter in this business though...u pretty much hung out with people of all ages, I mean Tony was older than her as well, and Jack, even older...

"Yeah it is"...Michelle finally answered

"Well if I had a big date in 2 hours I would have started getting ready 3 hours ago..."

"Yeah I better get going...um can u take this and put it on your dad's desk"...Michelle said while handing Kim a folder.

"Yeah...have fun on your date...I'll see you later!! Call me after and tell me all about it!!"

"Yeah alright, we'll see"...Michelle giggled while grabbing her coat and her few other belongings she needed to take home that night.

Michelle stood up and started walking to the parking lot, while she was walking she looked up at Tony's office, yup he was still in there working...he probably forgot about the date...

Michelle got into her car and headed for home...

Tony looked down just in time to see Michelle heading out to the parking lot. He looked over at his clock. 5:15 it read....uh oh he better get home and get ready, he didn't want to be late for this date, he had been waiting for this date ever since he had first set eyes on her.

He grabbed his things and headed out for the night.

Honk! That was all he could hear, people's horns going off everywhere, traffic was always so bad in L.A...he knew this, he knew it took a while to get home during rush hour....why did he have to leave so late....damn it...he was probably gonna be late. He finally just let his thoughts take him away...

Wow was he ever nervous...should he kiss her at the end of the date...should he bring her flowers?!? Hmm he didn't know how to act on a date with someone like her...he really didn't want to mess up...he wanted everything to be perfect...

Honk! Tony snapped back to reality, finally he could move up...

Tony looked over at the radio to change the station, as he did he saw the time...6:23...already...uh oh....he was supposed to pick up Michelle in less than 45 minutes...

Where was he? It was 7:30 and he still hadn't arrived...yup he probably forgot...typical...guys always forget about me...I don't know why...what do I need to change?!? Is it my appearance or my personality?!? She didn't think Tony cared about either but it still bothered her...

She looked in the mirror for the 50th time, she had on a pair of casual pants and a pink t-shirt. It looked nice, but casual at the same time...she loved wearing this outfit, it looked good on her...She flattened the hair on the top of her head, it was always so frizzy. She had it pulled back in a loose ponytail, like she wore at work, sure it was the same, but that's how she liked to wear her hair.

She decided to clean up her place while she waited, it needed some cleaning and she had nothing better to do...

Ding Dong

Michelle looked at the clock in her bedroom...7:45, she quickly ran downstairs to answer the door...

"Hey Michelle", Tony said while handing her some flowers

"Hey..."

"Sorry I'm so late....traffic was really bad...anyways I picked up a movie and some Chinese...I thought it was a death sentence to go back out into that traffic..."

"Alright, sure...come in..."

Michelle took Tony's coat and hung it up in the closet by the door...so that's why he was so late...it had nothing to do with her. She sighed and closed the door to the closet...

Tony sensed something was wrong... "What's wrong Michelle"... he gently asked...

Oh nothing...she replied...

He could tell she wasn't telling him the truth... "come on you can tell me"

"Alright...it's more like I'm relieved..."

"Relieved about what?"

Michelle looked down at the floor... "relieved that you came..."

Tony sensed there was more that that... "why wouldn't I have came?"

"Well uh..." Michelle looked up into his chocolate brown eyes...they were so warm...she looked back down at the floor... "Well its not you...it's just that well a lot of other guys...they...." She couldn't get the rest out...

"They what?" he softly asked...

"Well they normally don't ever show up..." Michelle blinked back the tears...

"Who would do something so stupid?"

"Everyone..." Michelle said as the tears started flowing...she couldn't help herself anymore

"Come here" She came closer to him, he wrapped his arms around her tightly... "Shh its ok...I'm here... I wouldn't have missed this for the world...those other guys were stupid to pass up someone so wonderful"

"No they were right..." she said burying her head in his chest.

"They weren't right...they were stupid...I wouldn't have missed this for the world" Michelle felt better with what he was saying...She knew he was being sincere. She put her arms around his shoulders and looked up at him.

"You really mean it?"

"Yeah of course I mean it..."

Tony looked into Michelle's eyes...he looked past the tears and deep into her eyes...it was like they were smiling...

Michelle stood up straight, she stood a little on her toes...she was looking straight into his eyes...he made her feel so good...so safe...

Tony leaned in a gave her a little kiss on the lips. She smiled at him, she kissed him this time...He kissed back...she could stay like this forever she thought. She finally broke the kiss...She took his hand..."come on...let's go watch that movie..."

He let her lead him into the living room. He put down the movie and than she continued leading him into the kitchen. She had a little table. She told him to put the food down over there while she went to grab the plates.

They both grabbed a little of everything and sat down. They talked about their day, and talked about the project everyone was working on...They listened to each other and took in every word they said...Michelle was in a different group than Tony at the moment, they were all working on tracking down a group of people they believed were terrorists. Each group of 5 or 6 was finding one person each.

Tony told Michelle that they believe they've finally figured out his fake I.D and where he might be living...

Michelle and Tony found this conversation so interesting...they both loved there work...but they eventually changed the subject to their childhood...

Tony explained how he had a pretty good childhood, his dad was an important man at the company he worked at so he had quite a lot of money growing up. Michelle explained that she had 4 siblings and there parents didn't have a lot of money so she had started working at odd jobs by the time she was 13. When she was 17 she had to drop out of high school for a while because her father had passed away, and she needed to help make some money because she was the oldest still living at home. She had to help her mother take care of her little brothers Todd and Danny and her little sister Jenny. She eventually went back to high school when she was 20 and than she headed off to university and here she was now. She then got to the part where her mother passed away, she started crying.

Her mother and her little sister were in a car crash when she was 22, neither of them made it out alive...

Tony reached across the table and put his hand on hers...He gently stroked her hand, she looked over at him and smiled. She pushed her chair back and stood up, "come on lets go watch that movie now"

"What about cleaning up?" he asked...

She giggled...finally a man that liked cleaning up after himself... "we'll do that later" she took his hand and they walked into the living room. She started the movie than went to the couch and plopped down next to Tony.

He put his arm around her, she put her hand up to where his hand was on her shoulder. She intertwined her fingers with his. They watched the movie in silence, looking over at each other from time to time. She put her head on his shoulder and put her legs on the couch. He smiled when she did this, he pulled himself even closer to her.

The movie ended, he looked down at his watch... 11:10, wow time had flown by. He looked over at Michelle, she had fallen asleep, the day had been a long one, and they were both really tired.

He turned off the TV. As he did this Michelle opened her eyes. "Don't leave"

"I won't!" He laid down on the couch and she laid next to him. She turned her body so she was facing him. He wrapped both arms around her and pulled her close. She wrapped her arms around him, smiled and closed her eyes. He was a keeper...

He gave her a kiss on her forehead and closed his eyes. He was so comfortable, he had a feeling he was going to get a good sleep that night.

Michelle opened her eyes and saw she was on the couch facing the TV. She looked out the window to see the bright sunlight. She heard breathing behind her. Oh yeah, she had forgotten she had fallen asleep on the couch with him the night before. His arms were still wrapped around her. She took her arms and placed them on top of his. She laid there silently, she didn't want to move.

"Hey" she heard Tony whisper

"Hey" she turned her body to face his.

"Did you have a good sleep?"

"Yeah, you?"

"Great....what time is it?"

"9:30ish"

"ok..."

She rested her head against his chest, she didn't want to get up.

"You know, we probably should get up..."

"Yeah probably" Michelle giggled knowing they weren't actually going to get up for a while.

She took her head off his chest and looked into his eyes again. There was nobody else in the world that she wanted to wake up with, Tony was the only one she wanted to wake up and see every morning. She hoped he felt the same way.

Tony gave Michelle a kiss. She looked so beautiful even though her hair was a complete mess, and her makeup was also a mess. He didn't look at those things though, he looked at her eyes, her smile...He loved her smile, it was so warm, so welcoming

Michelle smiled as she was getting changed. She could hear the shower running. Tony was taking a shower, than they were going to stop off at his house so he could change and than they were going to head out and grab some breakfast, and just spend the day together.

Tony finished having his shower and put his clothes on from yesterday. He ran his fingers through his hair and opened the door. Michelle's bedroom was right across from the bathroom. He smiled as he saw her fixing her hair. She looked even more beautiful. He didn't know it was possible for her to look even more beautiful...but apparently it was...She was wearing a summery skirt, a tank top and flip flops.

He went over to her and put his arms around her. She put her head against his chest and looked up.

"Ready?"

"Yup, let's go"

ok that's all 4 now...review please...
