HyDrOmAtIc-Yes, hiding under the computer desk afraid that my readers would revolt and come for me. Isn't it strange to say "we're not even step brother and sister" to someone you're about to sleep with?

ShadowGoddess1-Yea! I'm so glad someone else saw why putting Lila with Cam wasn't such a great idea. Especially since we don't know the whole story yet. You don't have to worry about Lila and Liam. The only reason I even suggested it was because they both have names starting with L's.

SonnyAngel-Oh he has an explanation, and it's a doozie. It won't be revealed for a while yet. Glad you think I did a good job with the love scene. I guess all the Harlequin's payed off. :)

amluvjourney-I'm so glad you didn't hate it. Thanks for reading and not flaming.

pixieballerina-I'm so happy! I went back and read the first few chapters of my story and realized that Lila and Michael had really great chemistry. Far better than any of the other candidates. Plus it was a damn good twist if I do say so myself!

Ashton91- I'm glad I didn't corrupt you, and that you still reviewed. Thanks!:P

Chapter 11: Awakening

Michael woke to find his self sprawled across a very much asleep Lila. She was asleep on her stomach, head turned to face him, comforter tangled around her waist. His face was pressed close to hers, his arm thrown across her back and his legs entwined with hers. Her hair was mussed and her lips were red and swollen. He could see the beginnings of a lovebite on her shoulder. When did he do that? Sunshine was streaming across the bed creating a halo around her, making her even more beautiful than usual. He had to admit he also liked the way she looked wrapped only in white sheets. He watched her roll onto her side, moving closer to him, and pull the covers up to her face. She snuggled up against him, and he thought he might die from wanting her. She sighed slightly and then opened her eyes.

Lila saw Michael looking back at her. Suddenly everything from last night came rushing back to her. Her fight with Cam, Michael admiting his feelings for her, then... "Oh God!" she said out loud. She had lost her virginity to her almost brother. She could feel her cheeks turning red so she quickly pulled the comforter over her head. She didn't even warn him that she'd never slept with anyone before. She burrowed further down under the blanket, very aware that Michael's boxer clad body was next to hers. "Princess, what are you doing?" his voice cut through her thoughts.

"Hiding," she responded, her voice muffled by the blanket.

Michael resisted the urge to laugh,"Why?"

"Cause I'm naked!" Lila said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

He chuckled,"I'm aware of that. If you come back up here I'll do something about it."

"Stop breathing so loud," Lorelai said to her brother. "I can't hear what's going on!" He and Lorelai had their ears pressed against Lila's door.

"Are you sure she's got a guy in there? Maybe you heard her having a nightmare or something," Liam said.

"What are you two doing?" Kristina demanded coming through the door with Sarah on her hip.

"Ssshhh!" they both said.

"Your godparents have gone crazy Sarah."

Lorelai rolled her eyes,"In our family it's very possible. Lila has a guy with her! I heard them."

Kristina sat Sarah down at the kitchen table with her crayons and coloring books. "C'mon this is Lila we're talking about. Maybe you heard the radio."

Lorelai blew out a breath of frustration. "It wasn't the radio! It was sex sounds! I know what sex sounds sound like, and those were definately sex sounds! She was moaning last night when I got home and she yelled a guy's name. I couldn't understand what she said though."

"Oh God!!!" Lila's voice carried through the door.

Kristina dove towards the door and pressed her ear against it.

"They must be doing it again!" Lorelai exclaimed excitedly.

"Hey guys, what if she's got a girl in there?" Liam asked. Both girls turned and gave him dirty looks.

"Ouch!!!" came a guy's voice from Lila's room.

"Ooh kinky stuff!" Lorelai said with a smile.

"At least we know it's a guy," Kristina said never moving her ear away from the door.

Suddenly it dawned on Liam,"Do you think that's Cam in there?"

"Why did you pinch me?" Michael demanded sitting up in the bed to examine his leg.

"Because you deserved it!" Lila said also sitting up. She wrapped the bed sheet securely around her.

"Princess why are you acting like this?" Michael asked her quietly.

"I'm not acting like anything."

"Yes you are Lila. Are you mad at me?"

Lila sighed,"No, but this is awkward. You should probably go." She slid out of bed and went to the closet to grab her robe.

He watched her then followed suit. As he dressed, he noticed that she kept her eyes firmly on the closet door. He walked over to her and lifted her chin so she'd look him in the eye. "I don't regret anything that happened last night," he told her sincerely. "You are smart, and funny, and beautiful and everything I said to you last night I meant. Just for the record this morning wouldn't have been so awkward if you hadn't decided to play hide and seek." He pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead and turned to leave. Before he opened the door, he turned back to her, "I wanna be with you Lila. I don't care what anyone has to say about us. When you decide what you want I'll still be around. See ya around Princess." He unlocked and opened the door. Lorelai, Liam, and Kristina all came flying into her room.

"What the hell?" Lila demanded.

Kristina looked up at them,"That's not some guy that's Michael!"

I about died laughing while I wrote this. I'm trying to further develop the original characters, so if you guys have any ideas let me know. Now hit my friend Herman the purple button down there or I'll force feed you spinach and brussels sprouts!
