Here's chapter 2 of Starting Over. It took me a while to get this chapter going. No inspiration after the premiere of season 5. Why did they do that? whyyyy...so upsetting! (won't say what they actually did in case you haven't seen the season 5 premiere yet!)
Chapter 2: Anything for you - PureFluff (well i tried at least) Dinner and a movie? nope not so much...Sleepover and a breakfast!
Let me know how you like it (REVIEW PLEASE!)
Disclaimer: I don't own it but i wish i did because that premiere would have been much different!
Michelle smiled when she saw that Tony had gotten back from Jen's while she was in the shower. She was glad he was here; she knew that tonight she wouldn't be able to sleep without him next to her. She had almost lost Tony once a couple of years ago and today she had almost lost him again.
Tony turned his head away from the TV and saw Michelle standing there. He smiled at her. "How are you doing Chelle?"
"Okay…I feel better now that I've showered. How did it go at Jen's?"
"As good as can be expected. I dropped my stuff off at my sister's. She's happy I'm getting my life back together."
Michelle stifled a yawn as she listened to Tony. "Ready for bed Chelle?"
"Yeah."
Tony tucked Michelle into bed and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Sleep well."
Tony than headed over to the closet and pulled out a blanket and pillow.
"Where are you going?" Michelle asked confused.
"The couch. I know you don't want to be alone tonight but I don't want to rush anything with you. I don't want to mess this up."
"I need you tonight Tony." Michelle patted the spot on the bed next to her "Please come sleep next to me tonight."
Tony put the blanket and pillow back in the closet and got under the covers next to Michelle. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Thanks for giving me a second chance Chelle."
Michelle knew that Tony wasn't expecting her to say anything. She didn't even know what to say. She should be the one thanking him for taking her back. After all she was the one that left him. She decided not to say anything. Instead she put her head on his chest and shut her eyes. "'Night Tony"
"'Night Chelle"
When Tony woke up the next morning Michelle was still in his arms with her head on his chest. He couldn't believe that 2 days ago he had woken up with Jen and his life was a mess. Now, he was waking up with his one true love, his soul mate. His life was still somewhat of a mess, but he was working on fixing that. It would be hard but with Michelle by his side, he could do anything.
Tony slowly unwrapped his arms from Michelle and got up. He headed to the kitchen and started to look for ingredients to make breakfast with. He looked in the fridge and on the shelves but he didn't see any food acceptable to eat for breakfast. In fact the only thing he found in the fridge was expired milk. 'Typical Michelle' Tony thought to himself 'she always hated to cook'. He knew that she must have a drawer full of take-out menus somewhere. He remembered back to when they had started dating.
------- Flashback ------
"What do you mean you can't cook Michelle? Everyone can cook."
"Well I can't"
"Aww come on honey, I'm sure you're just underestimating yourself again."
"No, I'm pretty sure I'm not." Michelle opened a drawer, and pulled out a giant handful of take-out menus. "Would anybody that can cook have this many take-out menus?"
Tony grinned. "I'll teach you."
"Good luck"
------ End of Flashback -----
Tony chuckled. He remembered trying to teach Michelle how to cook. It had been a disaster.
Tony grabbed a piece of paper and scrawled a note for Michelle and headed out. He would walk the couple of blocks to the grocery store and pick up some items to make Michelle a nice breakfast.
When Tony had returned from the grocery store Michelle was still sleeping. Tony decided to go wake her and than make breakfast. She had always hated mornings and it would take her a couple of minutes to even start considering getting out of bed.
Tony hated to wake Michelle up, she looked so peaceful, but he also knew that no matter how much she hated mornings she also hated sleeping in too late and wasting away the day.
"Chelle, honey. Wake up. It's 9:30." Tony gently shook Michelle "Michelle! Michellllle!"
"Do I have to?"
"I'm making breakfast"
Michelle sat up suddenly. "What are you making?"
"What do you want?"
"Surprise me" Michelle grinned at Tony. She loved when he cooked. She had missed that in the last year.
Michelle followed Tony out to the kitchen and grabbed plates, cutlery and glasses to set the table.
"Want some juice Tony?"
"I don't think you have any Michelle"
"Okay, let me see what I have." Michelle opened the fridge and looked at the contents. "Milk?"
"That's expired! Are you trying to kill me?"
"Maybe…" Michelle giggled.
"Actually when I was at the store I think I might have picked up some juice. Check the bags by the front door."
Michelle looked in the bags and pulled out a jug of orange juice. Michelle grinned widely "Tony, you bought my favourite."
"I know" Tony grinned. Michelle's reaction was exactly what he was hoping for.
Michelle put the juice on the table and than headed over to where Tony was standing to see what he was making.
"Hey…are you trying to look?"
"No, I would never do that." Michelle cheekily grinned
"Go sit down. Breakfast will be served in less than 5 minutes."
Michelle gave Tony a pout but nonetheless did what he said and sat down.
"Breakfast is served" Tony placed a waffle topped with fruits and whipped cream in front of Michelle.
"Mmm, looks good." Michelle reached up to Tony and gently placed her lips on his. "Thanks Tony."
"Your welcome Chelle, you know I love cooking for you." Tony plunked down into the seat across from Michelle's.
"You're sweet, you know that? First you buy my favourite juice, than you make me my favourite breakfast."
Tony smiled at Michelle. "Anything for you."
Alright so is it worth continuing? Review Please!
