Chapter 5- Hanging with Friends

All the way to Roswell, they sat in silence. There were no need for words, they both knew what each other were thinking. All the did was smile at each other as they held hands. As Michael drove, Maria stared at him, memorizing his handsome face to the last detail.

" Why don't you phone Liz and see where they are!" he said.

Maria grabbed her phone from her pocket.

" You might have to charge it, remember it died last night." Maria said as she handed her phone to Michael.

He laughed, glanced at the road then put his hand on the phone. Green sparks shot out from his hand and entered the cell phone.

" There you go." Michael said.

" Thank you." Maria said as she picked up the phone and dialed Liz's number.

" Hey girl!" Liz said knowing what Michael had done the previous night.

" Hey Liz!" Maria said glancing at Michael.

" How was your night?" Liz asked.

" It was perfect." Maria said smiling.

" I knew it would be." Liz said as both girls laughed.

" So where are you now?" Maria asked.

" We are all at the Crash Down, waiting for your arrival." Liz said.

" Alright I will see you in a few minutes bye!" Maria said as she hung up the phone from Liz.

Michael looked at Maria and a huge smile appeared on her face.

It took them five minutes to enter the parking lot of the Crash Down as Michael stopped the car. Maria began to open the door but Michael said no. Maria looked at him with a questioning look. Michael got out of the car and walked over to Maria's side and opened her door. Maria looked surprised. Michael took her hand and led her to the entrance of the Crash Down. While they were walking, Maria played with the diamond ring on her finger. Michael opened the door for her and as soon as the entered the restaurant, they saw their friends sitting in one of the booths in the back.

" Hey Lovers!" Kyle yelled as people looked into their direction.

Maria blushed as Michael and her walked over to their friends. They pulled up two chairs and sat down at the table, where Kyle, Max, Liz and Isabel were.

" Hey!" Maria said as a huge smile appeared on her face.

" Show us the goods!" Isabel said as she laughed.

Maria placed her hand flat on the table so everyone could she her beautiful ring.

" It's gorgeous!" Liz said looking at it closely.

" Yeah and we didn't even help him pick it out." Isabel said

" Is it real?" Kyle jokingly said.

" Of course it is real!" Maria said as she gave Michael a kiss on his lips.

" Ewe not here! Your almost as bad as Liz and Max!" Kyle said.

Everyone laughed.

" Congratulations!" Max said knowing that his best friend had found true happiness and had finally found someone besides him and Isabel that loved him.

" Thanks Maxwell." Michael responded.

" Have you guys set a date yet?" Isabel asked.

Maria shook her head, she hadn't really thought about much at all. Maria frowned as Michael looked her way.

" No we haven't, we don't want to rush, we just want to enjoy being with each other." Michael said.

Maria stared at him and smiled.

All of a sudden the waiter came with drinks.

" We ordered everyone a Cherry coke if that is okay?" Max asked as he passed the drinks around to everyone.

" No that's fine, just no Tabasco sauce for me." Maria said.

As soon as Michael, Isabel and Max got their drinks, they grabbed the Tabasco bottle and poured in their drinks.

" Let's make a toast." Max said holding up his glass.

" To Maria and Michael, I hope you have a wonderful life together."

" To Maria and Michael." They all said as they hit each other's glasses.

" And when you are married, don't forget about the little people back home." Kyle said waving.

" We could never forget you Kyle!" Maria said.

" Why because I am so special!" Kyle said smiled.

" No because you are too much into Buddha!" Maria answered as the whole gang cracked up. Maria leaned on Michael's shoulder and smiled. This was what life was all about, having friends who loved you and having a guy who would always be there for you.
