Previous chapter:
But then all of a sudden she just raced out of the room, shoved past lily and ran I don't know where. Why did she do that? I thought she said she loved me? Or maybe that was a joke... No it couldn't have been; I mean she said all these things about me that really sounded like she had thought about them for a long, long time. So I too rushed out of the room to find her only to come face to face with Lily. And she had one of those looks on her face.
Michael:
"What did you do to her Michael? Huh? HUH?? I just had her come in here, confess her love to you, and you didn't do anything?
"Lily, but-"
"No buts mister. What did you do to her?"
"GODDAMIT LILY! I KISSED HER OKAY? IS IT SO WRONG TO DO THAT TO THE PERSON YOU LOVE?" Whoa, where did THAT come from? I don't think I've ever been that forward with Lily in a long time.
Lily stared at me and then her face broke into a frown. "Then why did she run away?"
"I have no IDEA! You should be the one that knows! I practically told her I loved her without using words! YOU tell ME why she ran away! Maybe you were playing a joke on me or something! Well if you were it SURE wasn't funny." Wow. When did I ever become this emotional? Lily just stood there. In a softer town she said,
"Michael, she loves you; that's why I told her to go into your room. When I shouted at you and called you a freak and told you that we hated seeing you walk around half naked, Mia stood up for you and she went a little too far and told me she loved you." So it was true that she loves me? Oh shit what did I do so wrong to make her run away if she loves me?
"Oh shit. What did I do wrong? I'm going to find her."
And surprisingly Lily just let me go. She didn't move to follow me or anything. But as I turned around I realized why.
Mia:
Unfortunately I didn't get very far with my escape plan. I sort of went into the supply closet down the hall so I overheard an unusual conversation.
I heard Lily shouting something at Michael and then I heard him shout,
"GODDAMIT LILY! I KISSED HER, OKAY? IS IT SO WRONG TO DO THAT TO THE PERSON YOU LOVE?" Omg! He really does love me! But- oh shit. Crap. Why did I run away? And then I heard faintly Lily say,
"Then why did she run away?"
And Michael seemed really frustrated and sad as he said,
"I have no IDEA! You should be the one that knows! I practically told her I loved her without using words! YOU tell ME why she ran away! Maybe you were playing a joke on me or something! Well if you were it SURE wasn't funny."
He said the L word again! I needed to do something and do it now. And so slowly I started getting up from my crouched position in the closet and slowly turning the knob as quietly as I could. Lily didn't see me yet, but I heard her explain to him that I loved him. And Lily saw me then as Michael let out a quiet "Oh shit. What did I do wrong? I'm going to find her." And Lily didn't move. And then he turned around.
Michael:
I turned around to see a frazzled Mia with red streaks down her cheeks. She was softly smiling at me. I was completely shocked. Had she heard everything I had just said to Lily?
"Mia, I need to tell you something. I kind of lo-"
And then I got the shock of my life. She pulled my head towards her and she kissed me straight on the lips. And it wasn't just an ordinary kiss. It had so much passion behind it I was nearly knocked over at first but then I kissed her back with everything I had been holding inside for months, even years. I could have sworn it felt like it lasted forever and I wasn't about to let it end. She must have heard what I said to Lily. I swear I think I just found heaven.
Mia:
As he turned around I came face to face with sad, deep, brown eyes slightly shadowed with his thick hair. He looked worn and slightly depressed. They immediately widened in surprise and shock to see me standing there or at least that's what I guessed it was from. And then he started to explain but I had all the explaining I needed from the conversation I had just heard. I just pulled his head down and kissed him with everything I had. He seemed shocked at first and I was nervous but then he returned it with the same passion. Damn he's a heavenly kisser. Damn he's fine.
