Chapter 4- Will You Marry An Alien
The snow fell down and the winds howled around the wooden cabin. But the two people inside, didn't seem to mind. They were nice and cozy, snuggled up close to each other on the couch, in front of the hot flaming fire. They didn't seem to notice that the snow was pilling up in front of their door and that tree branches were falling down and landing on their roof. All they cared about was being with each other. Maria was snuggled up close to Michael's strong body, her head rested on his shoulder and his arm was wrapped around her waist. Empty packages of chocolate bars, graham crackers were fluttered on the ground. There were two strawberries left in the Ziploc bag and the remains of chocolate ice cream was melting in the bottom of the box. Maria wore a permanent smile as she thought how lucky she was to have Michael by her side. Michael was smiling too, but deep inside he was shaking like a leaf in a storm. His right hand was still in his pocket, fumbling with the box in his pocket.
" I love you." Mari said snuggling up closer to Michael's body. All of a sudden his body tensed up.
" What is wrong?" Maria asked looking at Michael.
Michael stared at Maria.
" Maria if I asked you a question would you say yes?" Michael asked her.
" It depends…" Maria answered confused.
Michael got off the couch and kneeled in front of her. He pulled out the square shaped box from his pocket. The box was light purple and one Maria saw it her eyes went wide with shock. Michael opened the box. Inside sitting on purple velvet was a square diamond ring.
" Maria I know we have had our ups and downs. But I love you, I need you in my life. Will you marry an alien?" Michael asked holding his breath.
Maria just stared at Michael and at first he thought she was going to say no. But then a tear slid down her face.
" I love you too and yes I will marry you. The hottest alien in the world!" Maria said as she leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
That night in a cabin during one of Roswell's worst snow storms, Maria Deluca and Michael Guerin made love.
Maria woke up at 11 the next morning. She turned over and kissed Michael on the lips.
" Wake up sleepy head." Maria said as she got changed into her clothes that were laying on the ground. Michael's eyes fluttered open.
" Hey you! I'm up I'm up!" Michael said as he got dressed.
" I think it is time for us to go home." Michael said as he put his shirt on.
" Do we have to?" Mari asked pouting her lips.
" Don't you want to show off your ring?" Michael asked.
Maria smiled and nodded as she kissed him.
They grabbed their coats and opened the door, but it wouldn't open.
" Michael we are stuck!" Maria cried.
Michael put his hand on the door and when they tried to open it again, it opened. All around them was snow as everything was covered in a white blanket. They walked to the car as Maria took her keys out and opened the door, a cold white snow ball came flying at her and hit her on her head.
" Hey!" Maria said.
" We can't leave here without having a snowball fight." Michael said.
So Michael and Maria had a snow ball fight. To a passerby they looked like two teens having fun but if that passerby looked close enough, they would have seen two teens in love.
After Michael won the fight by tackling Maria down, they got in the car. They used Michael's powers to start the car. Then they drove off, leaving their dreamland behind them as they entered real life.
