AN: Yeah, another chapter! Since my other one was so short, this one is
twice as long. Oh, and I've been some questions about Michael's minor
"replacement" of his shirt. Don't worry, I promise to not let you down! ; )
P.s. Every once in a while I might add in Lilly's POV. So this one starts with Lilly's POV.
Chapter 5
There's no way we were apart for so long,
But now we are right back where we belong,
Suddenly I'm surrounded be the people I use to know,
And the places we use to go,
I see around me, those smiling faces,
And the so friendly embraces,
The message the laughter sends,
How could we be more then best of friends?
The memories, good and bad,
But we're still glad that we had,
The way that we would always tease,
Meant more to me, then a bowl of mac and cheese,
I see around me, those smiling faces,
And the so friendly embraces,
The message the laughter sends,
How could we be more then best of friends?
As I sit here next to all of you,
My other life is slipping into the blue,
Even though we all have lives of our own,
We will know that we'll never be alone,
I see around me, those smiling faces,
And the so friendly embraces,
The message the laughter sends,
How could we be more then best of friends?
As our talk goes into the night,
We grow more and more tight,
We will be together till the end,
How could we be more then best of friends?
Lilly's POV
What?!
Did I just hear Michael correctly? He thinks this wedding is wonderful?! I mean, John sounds nice (not to mention hot), but I always knew Mia and Michael would get married (our at least go out). I know, it's weird for me to be saying that, but it's kind of obvious. Well, we'll just see what Michael does while Mia's over.
Hmmmm, this will fun...
Mia's POV
I wonder why Lilly looks so smug?
Well, while I'm here I'm going to use this time wisely. I've really got to reconnect with my friends. And that includes Michael.
"So Mia?" Mr. G. says "What are you planning on doing tomorrow."
I looked at Lilly.
"Well, Lilly and I and possibly Tina are going to go and find a dress." I answered
Mr. G. looked confused
"But I thought Sebastiano does your clothing. Defiantly something like your wedding dress."
"Well, told him that I wanted to pick one myself. He took it well. We decided it would be like a test. Like to see if I could pick something out that suits me." I explained
Michael laughed, surprising everyone.
"What?" He joked, "Can't you pick your own clothes?"
I smiled "That's what I thought at first too. Then I learned that everything that I thought looked good didn't."
We spent the rest of the dinner talking about my life and old memories.
As Mom started clearing the table and putting them in the sink, I stopped her.
"Mom, why don't you sit down for a little bit. I'll do the dishes."
"I'll help too." Michael added
"I'm going to call Tina." Lilly said, and walked out of the kitchen, and started swearing at her cell phone.
I laughed.
"Well, that's Lilly for you." Michael said
Michael's POV
Mia and I are ding dishes and talking about the past years.
"Remember when you shoved three hot dogs in your mouth for five bucks in the third grade?" I said, teasing her.
"Hey," Mia said, pointing a sudsy finger at me, "That's not fair. I wasn't a vegetarian then. God, that was gross."
We went on like that for 20 minutes. Her shuddering as I tease her.
As we finished up, Lilly walked back in.
"Tina's coming. But she has no idea you're going to be there." Lilly said smiling
"Hey pugface," Yes, we still call each other names, "Mia's the princess of Genovia and she's back in New York for her wedding. It's all over the local news. How does Tina not know?" I asked
Lilly glared at me. Yes..score one for me.
"She's grounded dumb ass. I explained to her Mom why having Tina over was so important, so she's off the hook for tonight. And tomorrow, so she can be with us." "Well, this is going to be an interesting night." I said
Lilly smiled "Oh, yes it is."
Three Hours Later- Moscovitz Apartment
Mia's POV
"Ding Dong"
"Hey Mia?" Lilly said, her head in the freezer, "Will you get that? It'll be Tina."
I breathed in and out. I was kinda nervous; I hadn't seen or heard from Tina for ten years.
I opened the door, Tina was there looking down at her food.
"Well Lilly, I got the chips and soda but I-" She looked up and saw me grinning.
"Oh, my god.." Tina breathed, "Mia?"
I nodded
She trusted her food into her bodyguard's arms, and gave me a big hug.
"I knew you'd come back! So what are you here for?" She asked
I blushed and stuck out my left hand so Tina could see her ring.
Before Tina had a chance to scream, Lilly appeared, pulled her inside, and shut the door.
Then Tina screamed
"Oh my god Mia! You're getting married?! To who? Where? When? Can I come?"
I laughed and Lilly shook her head.
"Why don't we get the stuff ready first. We'll have plenty of time to talk in a little bit."
"And watch Star Wars!" I added
"What about Star Wars?" Came a voice from behind.
We all turned around.
There was a sight I hadn't seen in a long time.
Michael...with no shirt on.
And it wasn't until I saw it again when I realized how much I missed it.
"Michael!" Lilly screamed angrily, "I told you not to walk around with no shirt on!"
Michael looked down at his bare chest like he had just noticed.
"Oops," He said, "Must have forgotten. Now what about Star Wars?"
I still didn't speak. I could feel my face burning up.
"We're going to watch it." Lilly said through gritted teeth.
"Oh fun," Michael said, plopping down on the couch, "I'll watch too."
"Oh, no you won't!" Lilly said, pointing a finger at him
"It's all right Lilly. Michael can watch with us." I finally say
Michael smiles at me. Wow, I missed those too.
"Fine." Says Lilly, "But go put a shirt on first."
"Thank you your highness." Michael says and bows.
Michael's POV
And another point for me.
I walked in with no shirt on and Mia turned bright red, and didn't say anything.
Then Mia let me watch Star Wars with them too.
Well that's got to be a good sign right?
As I was putting on my shirt, Lilly marched into my room.
"Hello? Are your hands broken and you can't knock?" I mean, what's the point of doors anyway when little annoying sisters walk right in when they're shut.
"What the hell is your problem?" Lilly demanded
"What are you talking about?' I ask
"Okay, it was fine when we were younger. Annoying, but all right. But Mia's getting married now and you are walking around with no shirt on?!" She screamed
Oh, that.
"Lilly breathe. I'm not trying to show off. I'm fully aware that Mia's getting married. Remember? I said that I thought the wedding was wonderful." I explain
"Yeah, and what was up with that? You don't think it's wonderful. You want Mia for yourself. You've been in love with her since the day she came home with me in First grade." She said
"Out Lilly." I growled
She gave me another glare, then slammed the door as she left.
Oh well. At least I've got Star Wars to make me feel better.
Mia's POV
So Michael comes back out just as we're finishing putting all the junk food out.
"All right!" He says, rubbing his hands together, "Lets get this party started!"
Tina and I laughed but Lilly went to turn the movie on.
I know I must be hallucinating or something, but it seemed like me and Michael got closer as the movie progressed.
And we both said our favorite lines out loud, right on cue.
"All right, enough boring stuff, it's time to pull out the secret weapon!" Lilly announced as the credits were rolling.
She pulled out her camera.
Even though she had the camera running, we still talked like it wasn't there.
We talked for hours, getting to know each other again.
Soon it felt like we had always been best friends, and there wasn't this big time gap in the way.
Michael's POV
The phone rang, and I picked it up.
"Hello?" I said
After a few seconds I said, "Mia, it's for you."
She took the phone from me and said,
"Hello?" A smile crossed her face "Hi John."
AN: I know you all probably hate John for getting in the way of Michael and Mia, but don't worry, he's really nice. You'll meet him soon!
P.s. Every once in a while I might add in Lilly's POV. So this one starts with Lilly's POV.
