Chapter 3: It's Never Too Late
Michael had followed Isabel to the cave where Michael had once gotten sick. Since the pod chamber had been destroyed after Tess left, this was the only sacred place where Isabel felt she could truly gather her thoughts. "Okay spill," Michael said. "You and I both know that whole thing on Vilandra was just a cover story. Isabel tell me, what's really bothering you?" "Do you really want to know?" Isabel asked. "You had a vision of with us and our son didn't you? That's what has been bothering you." "That's just it. I should be bothered by it but for some strange reason I'm not. I'm just the opposite. Do you think it's wrong that I feel this way?" "No," Michael said as he came closer into Isabel, gently caressing her hair, both of them looking into each other's eyes, into each other's souls. Within moments Michael and Isabel were lying on the ground, each kiss becoming more passionate and intimate than the last. As Michael lay over Isabel he had asked, "Are you sure?" Isabel nodded and then slowly Michael began removing his shirt and then gently started removing Isabel's blouse. After all of their garments had been removed Michael and Isabel started to make love. It was a night filled with passion, even more passion than Michael had with Maria or Isabel with Jesse. Despite the vision Isabel had earlier, she had wanted to make love to Michael ever since that night at the library over seven years ago. Here she was with the man she truly loved, a man who had always loved her. They shared an intimate and special bond. Despite them being from the same planet and having been past lovers before they knew there was a special feeling, a feeling that could not be put into words but rather with two hearts and a conjoined soul. It was the first time Michael and Isabel both felt happy and fully alive. This is where she belonged, aside her true love rather than with a mere mortal. Michael and Isabel had told themselves a hundred times that they were happy with their human relationships but it wasn't until this very moment where they knew they had been lying to themselves all along. This is where they truly belonged and they both felt it.
Meanwhile the sun had set and Jesse had spent a portion of his time at the Crashdown, hoping that Isabel and Michael soon would return from wherever it was they had been all day. "Max does it always take this long for your sister to talk about her emotions?" Jesse asked with a sound of concern. "Usually no, something you have to know about Isabel, she doesn't like to open up to others about her emotions because it makes her feel vulnerable." "Yea but she opens up to you and Michael so easily." "Well that's because we've known her longer. As for Michael, it's easy for her to open up to him because they shared something special back home. "That's right the whole fiancé thing. Isabel mentioned that. Do you remember what they were like... up north?" "Yea but do you really want to know?" "She's my wife and I still don't know that much about her so yea, I want to know." "Okay but you're not going to like what you hear. Michael, Isabel, and I had grown up together from the time we were very little so their relationship started, I'm guessing at about age three. When they got older things got more intense..." Maria quickly jumped into the conversation. "Hi are you talking about my boyfriend and your sister and how they used to be Romeo and Juliet way back when? Yea, let's not, the thought of Michael and Isabel together is just...eww." "What you don't think it could work?" Max asked curiously. "Max you're talking to the girlfriend and the husband what do you think we're going to say?" Maria said wanting to close the subject. Jesse got into the discussion. "Why do you think it would work between them Max? Assuming I wasn't Isabel's husband and Maria wasn't Michael's girlfriend." "Just a feeling I guess. Granted it would seem a little weird and other than the fact that they were destined for each other to begin with it just seems right." "Well on that note I'm going to go home and wait for Isabel there. I'll see you all tomorrow." Jesse got off the stool and left. "I'm going to do the same and wait for Michael. Can you close up for me?" "Sure." "Okay thanks. Bye Max." "Bye." left.Jesse was about to follow but Michael beat him to it. " I was and not a day goes by where I
