Ch.5: A New Dawn; A Fresh Start
Dawn came and Michael met Isabel at the cliff. "So," "So," "Michael you were right last night, the memories I have been having do mean something to me, something more." "I had a feeling they did." Michael and Isabel took a seat on a nearby rock. "How did you know?" Isabel asked. "Just by little things I guess; you avoiding me all day, you waiting outside of my apartment for twenty minutes before I invited you in, the way you were nervous about being around me, and then that look you gave Maria." "Was I that obvious?" "Apparently, so do you want to tell me about the memories you've bee having?" "I don't know. Will they change anything?" 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111"Probably not." "Okay I just have to ask you, why are you only sensitive around me?" "It's you Isabel and also because I have a difficult time being sensitive around humans so, about the memories." "Right; I basically remember the two of us in this long relationship, we had been dating for a decade ever sine we were eight years old but no one knew about it, not even Max. I remember that Max found out once a guard was searching for me since I was late for a summit meeting." "How did the guard find out about is?" "Well we um... we were occupied in a meadow." "You mean..." "Yeah; kind of embarrassing hu?" "A little." "Another thing I remember is you purposing. It felt like an old fairy tale or something because of the passion and the way the entire evening was; we were in the meadow by a lake with the two moons shinning over head. It was pretty romantic to say the least I've never experienced that much love and passion before; much more beautiful than this place that's for sure. Okay, wow, it's about time I say that out loud. I've been keeping that up inside for so long even before I began to even have the dreams. Okay and now I can't believe I said that out loud either I really have to find a place to stop..." Before Isabel could say another word Michael leaned in and kissed Isabel; she was about to give in to the kiss but instead backed away. "Michael, we said things weren't going to change." "Thing's haven't changed Isabel. I'm glad you said what you said to me right now because since we're spilling the truth here and now I need to be honest with you and say that I've been in love with you ever since we came out of those pods." "Michael, things can't be this way." "I know but why not?" You don't have an answer do you? Isabel, what are you so afraid of?" "I don't know" "Isabel I want to be with you. I've wanted to be with you since the beginning and I know you've wanted it too." "I have but I'm married Michael." "Only by human standards, by alien you're still single." Isabel smiled a little. "Isabel, why do you think we've been dancing around this subject for so long?" "I don't know, fear maybe. It had always been the three of us; we were afraid that if we had gotten involved together that Max would've gotten furious just like he had in that other life and because we would assume we were brother and sister just so Max wouldn't in a way feel left out. I do want this to be something more Michael but Jesse would have a field day. He's all ready upset with me for lying to him about what's going on." "Then leave him. Isabel you have to put yourself first; led your own life; you can't let Jesse or anyone else dictate it for you." Isabel chuckled at his words. "What?" "Nothing, it's just that I remember you saying something similar to that back on Antar. You're right I have to lead my own life. I want to be with you Michael and I can't imagine being with anyone else. I used to think I could but I can't." "So we're really going to go through with his." "Yeah." Michael and Isabel leaned in for a very passionate kiss. "I love you Isabel." "I love you too Michael." "Oh there's something else, I just thought you'd like to know I broke up with Maria last night." "Really; why didn't you tell me sooner?" "Because I didn't know how you felt at the time." "Thanks Michael." "Hey I would do anything for you even if it means giving up one very annoying human." Isabel and Michael laughed and then continued kissing.
