Hey guys thanks for all the great reviews. It makes me very happy to see that people like my story. A couple of people wanted to know if I hated Carly. No, I don't hate Carly, in fact most of the time she is one of my favorite characters, but lately she's become a whiny pushover, and my story is reflecting my frustrations. The same goes for Sonny. I love him, but I hate the direction the character has taken. That's why they were written as not so great people in this story. Sonny might be redeemed, but I think I'll leave Carly the way she is. It works for my story as does the way Adella acts. I promise that you guys will get some answers soon.
Okay a few people are not happy with the Lilichael (Lila/michael) pairing. Most everyone loves this, but a few think they're a little too related. You need to take into account that one, Lila and Michael did not grow up together. They had never met until Lila came to town. Two, Michael has distanced him self from Sonny and Carly and had his name changed to Spencer. He doesn't consider Carly his mother, just the woman that gave birth to him. Three, there's no blood between them. They were never even step-brother and sister as Michael pointed out before they slept together. And finally four, It's my story, and if you don't like the pairing, don't read it because they'll probably be the main focus along with Lila's relationships with her family. Okay now that that's outta the way onward with the story...
Chapter 12:
Kristina's observation left everyone in a stunned silence. Awkward stares were passed around until Michael finally asked,"So... what's for breakfast?"
Lorelai snickered,"Looks like you were."
Liam laughed loudly and only stopped when Kristina hit him in the stomach. "C'mon Kris, it's none of our business if they wanna sleep together."
Kristina gritted her teeth,"She's only eighteen."
"You were eighteen when you had Sarah," Lila said softly.
"I wanna talk to Lila alone," Kristina said. Lorelai and Liam looked like they wanted to argue, but instead walked silently out. Michael didn't budge though.
"Michael," Lila said,"It's fine. You can go." He eyed Kristina then pulled Lila against him and kissed her under her ear causing goosebumps to rise on her flesh. He let her go, then turned and walked out the door, shutting it softly behind him. Lila turned away from Kristina and went to her closet and began to search for clothes. "I know exactly what you're going to say," Lila said. "I guarantee you I said the same thing to myself last night."
"I just don't want you to get hurt Lila. You just started this whole new chapter of your life and I don't want you to get into anything without thinking. Trust me Lila I know what's going on with you. I know what it's like to suddenly have this suave, great-looking guy paying attention to you. And I know what it's like to get so caught up in him that nothing else matters."
Lila looked at her and saw the pain in her eyes. "You're talking about Cam aren't you?"
Kristina gave a sad smile,"I thought he was the one so I didn't think twice when I slept with him. Then I was pregnant. He seemed happy at first. We made plans, we were going to have a house and get married. Then he decided he didn't want to be a father. It was just me and Sarah after that."
Lila watched her sister blink her eyes so tears wouldn't fall then asked,"Are you still in love with him?"
"I'm in love with what he was. He was sweet and charming. He brought me flowers and took me on picnics in the park. He's not that person anymore, he hasn't been for a long time. I got the best of him though. Sarah is the most amazing thing in my life and I wouldn't go back in time and change anything about my time with Cam."
Lila pulled her into a hug,"Don't worry about me Krissy. I can take care of myself."
Kristina pulled away,"Michael's not so bad. I mean you could do worse. He's seven years older than you ya know?"
Lila rolled her eyes,"I know he is."
"Mm Hm, well Sonny and Carly aren't going to like this one bit."
"Screw them, I live my life for me."
"Okay that's good. I'll let you get dressed and I'll have a talk with Michael." Lila watched her leave then threw herself on her bed and shut her eyes. She wished she hadn't, the sheets smelled just like Michael. Some cologne he wore that was probably a hundred dollars an ounce and showed half naked girls in the commercial. She didn't mind it so much. It was a nice smell. It suited him, spicy and sexual. She heard her door open and close and knew it was Michael. She felt the bed sink under his weight then felt him crawl over top of her.
"Princess, are you sleeping?" His breath tickled her ear and she had to resist the urge to snuggle closer to him.
"Yes I'm sleeping," she whispered back.
"Okay well I'm sleepy too." He pressed his face into her neck and tossed his leg over both of hers. His hand played with the sash on her short robe.
"Michael?"
"Yeah Princess?" he mumbled against her neck.
She bit her lip,"Sorry I freaked out this morning. It's not every day I wake up naked next to a guy."
She felt him shift his head so that he could look at her,"Open your eyes Princess." She did as she was told and was surprised to see his own whiskey colored eyes staring into hers. "Does this mean you changed your mind about us?" He whispered the last part like he was afraid saying it out loud would jinx it.
She smiled,"On one condition."
"What?"
"You have to kiss me." He didn't hesitate to press a series of little kisses all over her face.
"Better?" he asked laughing.
"Almost," she wrapped her arms around his neck and fused her mouth with his. Their tongues rubbed and she scraped his tongue lightly with her upper teeth. He had just reached for the tie on her robe when Liam's voice broke through their haze.
"Hey guys, come quick Sonny just got shot."
Cue scary music. Hope you all like that chapter, it was the best I could do after an exhausting day at King's Island. Please review.
