A/N
I searched high and low and found them. Mom, I got some floppy
disks (my mom is AKA Robtaymattlouned or Lucie) Now I'm on summer
vacation until September 7...no, 8th. I know you all hate me...but I'll
make it up to you with more chapters.
Oh, and by the way. If you can't handle sexual situations, then do not read this part. Just know that stuff happens. And, uh, well, I'll continue my note in another chapter. Enjoy!

Michael:

Things were not weird with us. We didn't necessarily discuss what
happened the night before, we only shared a smile. I was able to hold
her hand as I made my way to the subway to the Plaza. She went to the
hospital. She kissed my cheek as she and I parted.
I walked into Tony's suite with a big goofy grin on my face.
Once I actually saw people though, I put on a regular expression.
"Hey man," I said, "How'd it go last night?" I asked
He tossed a shirt at me, "Put that on. You look like shit. What
happened last night? What you do?"
"Nothing. We hung out. She's back at the hospital. Her
stepfather is finally showing up. He got stuck at some convention
upstate."
"Well, when is she coming back? Is she?" Lilly demanded.
"I don't know. She is, but she wants to be with her mom."

We spent the day rehearsing. During our breaks I doodled in a
notebook. I felt like a teenager again.

I went back over Mia's after the concert that night. We would be
leaving early the next morning. "Are you going to come with us?" I
asked her as we laid in her bed.
"I can't. Not yet. I was thinking I could meet you on the stop
after this one. I want to visit with my mom and my family."
I must have looked upset because she put her hand on my cheek,
"But I will miss you guys. Especially you."
I forced a smile. "You are my best friend, Mia."
"You are mine too."
I kissed her softly. She deepened the kiss though. "Where's
Rocky?" I asked breathlessly.
She started to undo my buttons of my shirt. "He's over his
friends house," she said, kissing my neck.
Did I want to do this to her? I mean, of course I wanted to but...
"Mia, we shouldn't."
"Michael, please," she pleaded. How am I supposed to resist
that?
I undid her bra and kissed her neck, her skin tasted so...perfect.
"Mia," I whispered. "Are you sure?" I felt like it was too soon after
Joshua.
She pulled away from all the kisses and looked at me directly in
my eyes. "Michael, you are the only person I have ever been with. When
we were together before I had never felt so protected, so loved. And
maybe you don't feel like that with me now, but I want that feeling
back..."
I answered her with a hungry kiss. She pulled back and smiled,
"Your ring feels funny," she giggled.
I pulled off her shirt expertly. I hadn't been with a woman in
almost four years. She hadn't been with anyone since me. For a brief
moment I felt like I was better than Joshua because she didn't want to
wait for me...
"Mia, we have to stop."
She looked hurt. "Why Michael?"
"Mia, you were never with Joshua, were you?"
She looked down. "No."
"But you wanted to, didn't you? I don't want to do this just
because you miss him."
I sat up and looked away from her.
"Michael, didn't you hear me before? I said I liked how you made
me feel. B-But if you don't want to..."
"Trust me, I want to Mia. But I just don't want to sleep with
you. I want the real thing, ya know? And I know you aren't ready for
that. I-I think we should just keep going as friends..."
"I can't change your mind?"
"Mia, let me know when you are ready for something real with
me," I said with sad eyes.
"Michael, I know that you are the one I want to be with. I...I
want to be with you. I mean, we practically are together anyways. We
practically are in a relationship and the only thing that is missing
is the physical part..." she babbled.
I stopped listening to her babbling. "You want a relationship
with me?"
"Well..."
"As in be my girlfriend."
She looked confused. "I think so...I think for now we should not
have a title...just have fun?"
"Why no titles?" I asked defensively.
"I just want fun, no stress."
"Why would there be stress?"
"The press. Family..." she said, kissing my back. Her fingertips
brushed along my spine.
I made the mistake of looking at her. She looked gorgeous.
"Mia..." I said, leaning in to kiss her.
Her breathing became irregular, "No pressure," she whispered.

MIA:
He leaned on his elbows and I undid his pants. I was so nervous.
I hadn't done this in such a long time. I knew that he had quite a bit
of experience in this type of situation. He leaned down to my ear,
"Don't worry sweetheart, I'll take care of everything..."
He had protection. Okay, was he EXPECTING to do this? I gave him
a funny look. "Tony put it in my wallet."
He kissed my collarbone and sent tingles through my entire body.
He pressed he forehead against mine. He kicked off his jeans and
boxers. With one hand he slid my shorts off of me. "I'll be gentle,"
he promised.
His slow movements made me feel more loved than ever before. I
know that Joshua and I were in love and he was one of my soul mates. I
was lucky enough to have two.
He held me close after we finished. He kissed my shoulders and
told me funny stories all night. "You should sleep," I whispered. "You
have to leave so early."
"I'll miss you," he said sleepily.
I didn't answer him, but I squeezed his hand.
