[Yes yes another chapter! And I have loads of reviews too! And someone said I'm like lettuce….yay?! *waves arms in air in an excited manor* oo yeh and sorry for those who noticed about the Mia and pepperoni thing (bad sarah *slaps wrist*) But what will happen now that Mia's seen Michael? You will have to read and see…..]
I couldn't believe it. It was Michael. Michael was here. I hadn't seen him for nearly three years, and here he was, looking like he had seen a ghost. Nice to know I have that effect on my friends.
'M…m…Mia?' he stammered uncertainly. I kind of wished I hadn't said anything. Not only had Michael, who was the love of my life, appeared so suddenly that I didn't know what had hit me, he wasn't even sure it was actually me.
Which is nice….
'erm…yeh it's me. Soo, how have you been?' I said trying to act casually. It wasn't really working. Why, oh why had I had to shout his name out? What possessed me to suddenly break the habit of a lifetime of being shy, at that very moment? Thankfully soon after the bill arrived and I didn't have to make awkward conversation for very long. But I was able to work out who the girl he had entered with was.
It was none other than little miss fruit fly cloner, Judith Gershner. His fiancé! Great, just great. Then again, I don't know why I'm so bothered about it. I mean, me and Michael are history.
At least I managed to compose myself enough to ask Michael not to mention the fact he had seen me to Lilly. Whether or not he will, is another matter.
I made my way back to the apartment quickly and let myself in quietly. It was at that point I realised that the lights were on. Which was not how I had left them when I went out a couple of hours before. And I most certainly did not leave Lilly sitting her bed….
'Oh,' I said as she turned to look at me. Her facial expression reminded me of the time that I turned up at hers having been attacked by Paulo. I was sincerely hoping that the ensuing conversation would not have the same out come. I also kind of hoped that Michael wouldn't appear half way through, but, thankfully, that seem pretty unlikely. Not that it would be bad to see Michael without a shirt again or anything…..no! those are most definitely un-princess-like thoughts. Anyways, I'm meant to be arguing with Lilly…..
'Mia? I told you not to go out tonight! Anyone could have seen you, or recognised you! After all I have done for you, letting you stay in my apartment, which is more of a small room than an actual apartment, and you just go and do the one thing I told you not to. Do you know how much trouble I could get in for keeping you here? Your Grandmere could have me beheaded or something.'
After my earlier assertiveness with Michael, I decided that maybe it would be better to keep quiet this time. Especially seeing as everything Lilly was saying was in fact true. It was her neck on the line if I was found here.
'Lets just be thankful no one saw you…' she said before storming off into the bathroom. I was in soo much trouble….
The next morning I was awoken by Lilly roughly shaking me.
'Get up,' she whispered through gritted teeth.
'Oh god, are the Genovian national guard outside? They are arn't they! don't worry, I'll just tell them I imposed myself on you, and they you didn't want me to stay…'
'NO it's not the Genovian national guard. It's Michael. And he can't see you here ok? Quick, into the closet,' she whispered, yanking me up and pushing me in the direction of the door. I quickly got inside and shut the door. So Michael was coming around. Meaning he was going to tell Lilly about seeing me last night. Great, just great! A few moments later a heard a knock on the door, and then it opening, and Michael coming in.
'Hey Lil, you alright,' he enquired. I had my ear pressed against the door, so that I was able to hear what was going on.
'Yeh, not bad, you? How's Judith?' Judith. I had forgotten about her. God, Michael was marrying Judith!?!??! How things had changed since I was last here…
[So Michael n Judith ay! The next chapter will be what happened before Mia left…. *x-files music again* Cant wait! So review review review!
Oh yeh, and someone said I write just like a high school girl (cant remember might have been for my other story) which is probably a good thing, seeing as I am in fact a high school girl, and it would have been somewhat worrying if you had said I wrote like a 35 year old man…..]
