Title: California, Here We Come
Rating: PG to be safe, but most likely G
Summary: Tina won a trip for her and 5 friends to California, but the winners all have to attend a high school in California which opened its doors to the contest winners. There were 5 winners, making 30 people (the winner plus their 5 friends). They will find unexpected love, fun, and thrills as they head out to Cali.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, except for the new characters introduced in the next few chapters. I do wish I owned Michael, but sadly I don't :( but I'll keep dreaming.........
Slight AU: Tina and Dave are broken up already BUT this story occurs right after the Rocky Horror Picture show, so Mia IS dating Kenny at this time. Also, Tina is the only one who Mia's told about her crush on Michael.
A/N: Hey guys! I'm so sorry its been so long! At least I have a reason this time! I shut my hand in the car door and I had to get surgery so I havent been able to type. I'm able to type now although it kinda hurts so I won't be updating often but I will try the best I can….it should be better in about 6 weeks when my nail grows back (wont go into detail) Anyway, I felt that I should try to write because all of you who have reviewed have been so awesome, so I'm doing this for you!
By the way: If anyone can think of a good name for the MTV reality show to be called then I'll let you see a few of the chapters before anyone else…..
Mia's POV
I can't believe that I'm sitting next to Michael all alone just watching TV. Tina went out to buy some new romance novels and to check out the surfers. Well she didn't actually say that. She just said that she was going to buy romance novels, but she has enough already, so I totally caught on.
"I hope you find a good one. I hope you find one with a really nice cover and of course, very interesting on the inside…." I said smiling at her.
"I hope so," she said bounding out the door.
I was going to mention the fact that she was supposed to stay here for when they came with news on orientation, but I didn't. I figured she just said that because she didn't want to go with Kenny and Boris. She knew she'd be back by 7. But I didn't mind anyway. Being alone with Michael is amazing. He's so close to me that I can smell his cologne, which is very sexy by the way. It only makes me want to kiss him even more. I have to control myself though. Michael doesn't think of me that way, and if I kissed him, it would ruin everything. He would totally be grossed out, and then he would avoid me the rest of the trip. I can't imagine how much I would hate that! So I have to control myself. You know, with all these hormones I have from "becoming a woman", you'd think I'd have larger breasts. But NO, I'm the freak who has no chest and can't control her hormones for a guy that isn't even her boyfriend!
Michael flipped through channels, finally stopping on Lifetime. LIFETIME??? What is he doing watching Lifetime?!!
I looked over at him curiously.
"I figured you'd like this," he said turning to the TV.
Me?? He turned this on for me?? But why?! I mean it's not like he likes me, so why would he watch Lifetime for me???
Ohhhh, he probably just wants to watch all the women on TV. It figures. I'm not good enough for him to look at, although that doesn't really surprise me. I mean I knew it all along anyway. Oh well. I might as well enjoy watching my favorite channel with the love of my life.
Golden Girls came on, but I couldn't concentrate. Michael's knee was touching mine. His arm was on the back of the sofa, which in a way was like his arm being around me!!! How is a girl supposed to concentrate when the love of her life is inches away from her with his chest moving up and down with each breath, his knee so warm against hers and him smelling amazingly sexy as usual. Huh? Someone tell me how a girl can concentrate under those conditions?! Because I'd really like to know!
I didn't realize that I had begun to watch Michael's ripped chest move as he inhaled and exhaled until I heard him talk.
"Mia, are you alright?" he asked looking concerned.
"Umm yeah I'm…fine…yeah fine I'm fine. I mean, I'm hot, I mean cold, yeah that's it, I'm cold" I said my face turning bright red. I had no idea what was coming out of my mouth. COLD?! WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF CALIFORNIA! HOW CAN I BE SUCH AN IDIOT?!
"Oh, is the air conditioning too high? Do you want me to turn it down?" Michael asked.
"No, you look hot. I mean, not that you're hot…Well I mean not that you aren't because you are, I mean…."
Michael just laughed. "Here," Micahel said wrapping his arm around me tightly and pulling me into his chest.
"All better?" he asked looking down at me.
"Yeah, thanks."
My face was turning bright red so I couldn't look up at him. I couldn't believe Micahel was holding me so close. His abs were so nice. I could stay like this forever.
I was so comfortable that I didn't even realize that I had begun to snuggle into Michael and run my hands up and down his chest.
Michael's POV
I was so nervous when I wrapped my arms around Mia. I thought she was going to like scream and jump off of me, but to my surprise, she didn't. I was so shocked that she actually snuggled into me even closer. I'm glad I took that risk.
I see that my working out has paid off though. Mia's hands were running up and down my chest and snuggling closer. She has no idea what she's doing to me though.
Not that I'm complaining because I love having her close to me, but how am I supposed to deal with seeing her with Kenny. Now I know what it feels like to be this close to Mia and so it's going to be way harder to try to turn down my hormones.
I mean it's like the more she rubs my chest, the more she triggers. She doesn't even realize how hard she's making it for me to control myself. I want to kiss her but I know she has a boyfriend. She's just snuggling into me because she's cold and I'm warm. It's nothing more to her, but it's a lot more to me.
How can I let her go to Kenny again after I've had her this close to me. And how am I ever going to get her away from Kenny. After knowing how good this feels, theres no way he's going to give her up without a fight. Although I know I could take him, but Mia wants to be with him. If I tried to fight him for her, she'd just get disgusted with me, and not even want to be my friend. I really couldn't take that. I mean I already can't handle her not being my girlfriend, but having to handle her not being around would be torture.
I can't take it anymore. Mia's chest was against mine. I could feel it moving up and down with each breathe. I just had to kiss her. I had to let her know how I felt. Even if she shot me down, I couldn't handle keeping it in anymore.
I was just about to tell her when I heard her stomach grumble.
She sat up and blushed, embarrassed.
"Here, let me find a phonebook so we can order something," I said getting up. Well so much for letting her know.
"Thanks," she said smiling shyly.
I found a place that served Veggie Burgers and ordered three. I checked the fridge to see if it had anything in it.
Luckily, it was stocked with drinks and tons of condiments. Lucky for me, because I forgot to order ketchup and mustard.
We got our food and Mia and I went to the kitchen. I went to put ketchup on her burger, but I couldn't get it to come out. I lifted it up and tried again. Of course, I didn't watch where I was aiming so I accidentally squirted it all over Mia's face.
I started to laugh and then grabbed the mustard and squirted her again.
"Hey, you can't have one without the other," I said grinning at her.
She just giggled.
"Hey, you look pretty good right now," I said winking at her.
I have no idea where that came from. Mia's making things come out of my mouth before I even think about them.
She blushed. I took that as a good sign as I walked towards her.
It was now or never. I had to let her know. I couldn't control these hormones anymore.
I walked towards her slowly.
"Maybe I should get some of that off for you" I said getting closer to her and taking hold of her shoulders.
I started to lean in again…..
"Hey guys! You'll never guess who I met?!" Tina said, rushing in through the door.
Mia jumped away from me quickly.
THE SECOND TIME TODAY! IS THIS SOME SORT OF SIGN SAYING THAT MIA AND I WILL NEVER WORK OUT? HUH? IS IT?
She stopped when she saw Mia looking like a deer caught in the headlights yet blushing all over.
Hmm…..I wonder if it's possible to blush all over? I quickly dismissed the thought. Get a hold of yourself Michael. What is your problem? You're not like this and you shouldn't be! GET A GRIP!
"Was I interrupting something?" Tina asked feeling guilty for just walking right in without warning.
"No, no, nothing. I was just about to umm….eat," Mia said.
"Yeah, and I was going to take a shower," I said as I sighed and walked into the other room to get ready for a shower. I had to cool myself down.
Mia's POV
I can't believe I was so close to kissing Michael. I guess in some ways that's good that we were stopped. Michael wouldn't have wanted to kiss me. He was just messing around. He was probably going to pull away right before our lips met and start laughing. I'm glad Tina walked in when she did, because Michael would have broken my heart.
"What was that?" Tina asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing," I said shrugging.
"Nothing? Your face was about a centimeter away from Michaels! Then I walk in and Shrapnel! You're like 10 feet away from each other! What was going on?"
"Nothing. Michael was just going to wipe the ketchup off my face."
"Yeah, with his tongue," Tina said giggling.
I blushed. "No, he just, well he was just being nice."
"Yeah, reaaaaaaaaaaally nice if you ask me," Tina said smirking and walking into the other room.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh, nothing," she said closing the door behind her.
