Well here's the next chapter!

Chapter 6

Michael dozed in and out of sleep most of the morning. When he finally couldn't sleep anymore, he sat on the corner of his bed and sighed. He felt like a ton of bricks were constantly being dropped on his head and he kept seeing vivid flashbacks from last night.

He couldn't believe he had slept with her. The girl who was so annoying and so self centred…and yet he had certainly enjoyed himself. He had felt amazing as he entered her, how he had pleasured her and lapped up her juices.

As he remembered the incredible heights of ecstasy he reached yesterday he jumped off the bed and put on a clean shirt.

Jesse and Tess were watching Bargain Hunt when Michael's door started to open. There was no way Jesse was going to let Michael see him watching Bargain Hunt. That would be social suicide.

Unfortunately the remote was by Tess. Jesse dived across her lap to grab it and quickly pressed a random button on the remote.

Michael came out of the room to see Jesse strewn across Tess's lap watching Thunderbirds. Tess looked at Michael blankly, but Jesse looked positively terrified. He immediately shoved himself up. Michael raised an eyebrow. Jesse opened his mouth and stuttered

"I…I..."

Michael quickly put up his hands.

"Don't wanna know"

Michael quickly headed towards the door. Seeing Jesse and Tess like that wasn't really helping. He had to get out of there. And there was only one place he was thinking about right now.


"Oh bother" Jesse muttered once he had heard the main door slam.

"Don't worry about it. What's he going to do?" Tess said in a monotone voice.

She didn't dare to use any other tone. It was perfect that Michael saw Tess and Jesse getting along. It may speed up the process. Maybe his head in her lap wasn't quite what she wanted, but it would suffice.

"So what are you doing this evening?" Tess asked.

"Actually, I'm going on a date with Isabel."

Tess grinned.

"But I think I overheard Alex saying that he's going on a date with her tomorrow." Jesse added, his face dropping.

Perfect Tess thought.

"Oh. Well don't worry! I can help you! I know what Isabel would want from her date. I can help you be in a league way above Alex."

Jesse beamed once more.

"You'd really do that for me?" he asked.

"Absolutely! Ok, listen up. Tonight you…"


Maria had spent the best part of the morning trying to find something, anything, to do. When she tried to watch TV. or listen to music, her head would throb so much she had to stop. Plus, when she tried to sleep, she saw Michael.

Michael

The arrogant, cocky, mean…sexy and an amazing fuck Michael.

Maria couldn't believe what she had done. Yesterday morning, Maria had been all ready to have the proper university experience…studying, drinking and…well…sleeping with men. But she wasn't a slut. She wanted it to be a great guy.

And last night she had slept with the first guy she had met. She couldn't believe herself. Where were her morals! Maria cursed. What had happened to her sane little world?

She knew what she had to do however. She had to avoid Michael. She had to forger about everything that had happened last night. To forget how amazing it felt to be in his arms, to feel him inside with her and come with her.

Maria shook her head. "Stop it Maria!" She muttered. "From now on you are on a Michael free diet and it is starting right now."

There was a knock at the door.

"Coming" Maria called. She immediately regretted it when her head gave a particularly painful throb in reply.

Maria walked over to the door.

Bet its Liz. She's probably forgotten her key or she just can't get the door open Maria thought.

She swung open the door and looked down slightly to greet Liz.

Instead her eyes were met by a pair of jeans. Actually the exact spot she was looking at was a zip, which behind it looked rather enlarged.

Maria gulped as she slowly looked up to see the unshaven Michael. The two just stood there looking at each other for several moments.

Great Michael free diet Maria thought. Eventually she decided she had to break the silence.

"Isabel's not here" Maria said finding it very hard to look at him straight in his eyes.

"I'm not looking for Isabel."

Maria swallowed. Her mind was racing.

"Tess is not here either." Maria added.

"Tess is with Jesse at our's. I'm not here to see her either" he replied.

He stood there devouring her with his eyes.

Oh God Maria thought.

"Err…ok…So you're here because?" Maria said, hoping he would just leave.

"I don't know."

Get him to leave Maria! Remember…Michael diet! Be strong! she thought.

"Ok, well I'll leave the door open while you decide." Maria told him.

She was burning up. She needed to calm down now. She reluctantly made her eyes leave Michael as she walked over to the sink. She quickly gulped down a glass of water.

She could hear footsteps behind her. He was coming out the door way….he was coming towards Maria.

Maria! Get him out! Now! her mind told her.

Maria put the glass down.

"Michael", she said turning around "I think you should…"

He captured her lips with his own. As quick as the kiss started, it ended as he pulled away.

"I missed you" Michael said huskily.

"I missed you too" Maria said quickly before Michael launched himself at her.

His arms were wrapped around her body. He pulled her as close to him as possible as he attacked her neck with kisses.

"Oh Michael!" Maria muttered.

Michael responded by sweeping her into his arms and taking her to the couch. He carefully laid her down and then lay on top of her.


"Why do I always manage to get the trolley with the squeaky wheel?" Max complained as him and Isabel pushed there trolleys out of the main doors of the supermarket.

"Because you always manage to pick the trolley with the wheel at a forty five degree angle!" Isabel told him.

Max looked down at his trolley.

"Ah."

Isabel laughed. They pushed the trolley's over to the boot of Max's car and started to unload their shopping into the jeep.

"That was rather costly. I hope the others will chip in for this lot" Max commented.

"Well, I expect Jesse and Alex will. But I somewhat doubt Tess will. She always seems to think that she can borrow from me." Isabel replied.

Max grunted in reply. He took there empty trolleys back whilst Isabel jumped in the passenger seat. Max always evaded talking about Tess. Isabel really disliked the girl too, but she was worried about Max. Tess may for once be right.

Once Max got in the car, he set off slowly towards the exit.

"Max, I know you don't want to talk about it, but you have to see why I am concerned. What if she's not who your looking for? What if she's not like us…doesn't have the same morals? What if…"

"Isabel, Tess is not right ok! I have to find her. I just know it. I can't be with Tess, Is. She's out there and I'm going to find her." Max told her simply.

"But Max, you don't have to be with any girl that that stupid book tells you to be with. I'm not with Michael. You don't have to be with Tess or this other girl." Isabel said trying to reason with him.

"I know that. But I still need to find her, Isabel. I need to know why it changed. I need to know why it would suddenly change from being with Tess, to having "the choice". I just wish that the book would have shown an actual picture rather than showing the map of the UK with a woman symbol. That's not helpful in a country of 50 millions people. I just wish we knew how to read the damn thing." Max said sighing.

Isabel looked out the window as Max drove back towards the girls' apartment.

"Max, if you say you need to do this, then I'm behind you one hundred percent. We'll find her Max." Isabel said putting her hand on her brother's shoulder, and giving him a small smile.

Max turned to his sister and smiled back. He briefly glimpsed behind her and saw something. Max quickly pulled up on the street.

"Max! What are you doing?" Isabel asked.

Max jumped out of the car and headed over to two pedestrians.

"Hey!" Max greeted them.

He looked at the female and saw her smile at him. It made his heart thud crazily.

"Hey Max" Liz replied.

When Isabel heard Max and Liz talking she smiled and turned away. She didn't want to spoil her brother's moment.

"Nice car!" Alex commented.

Isabel sat up straight when she heard Alex's voice. Quickly she jumped out of the car and headed over to them.

Max responded to Alex.

"Thanks, do you…"

"Hey!" Isabel said as she reached them.

Alex grinned at her. Finally he thought. He had been hoping to see her all day.

"Hey Isabel, how are you?" he asked.

"Oh, I'm good thanks." Isabel replied. "We've just got some food for the apartments."

"You mean we actually have proper food to eat!" Liz remarked.

"Yeah." Max replied. "Isabel wouldn't let me buy many ready meals though. She said "us men should try and cook for once". She wouldn't listen to reason when I told her I can't cook to save my life." Max explained.

"I'm sure you're exaggerating Max" Liz told him smiling.

"No I'm not! I really can't! The one time I tried to make something slightly harder than beans on toast and it was horrendous. I made pizza, and I doubled the yeast accidentally and then left it in the sun for twice as long…it was really nasty bread rather than a pizza."

Liz and Alex laughed.

"Aw! I can so see that. Well…if you want I could help you cook something tonight? It would have to be around ours though or I won't be able to see what you're doing." Liz said.

Max smiled.

"Really? Yeah that would be great!" Max replied.

"Great" Liz answered back, grinning.

Alex and Isabel looked at each other and rolled there eyes.

"So, we're going back to our apartment first to drop this food off…do you want a lift?" Isabel offered.

Alex looked at Liz.

"Erm, yeah I think we can do that. Thanks." Alex said.

He wheeled Liz over to the Jeep and put the brakes on. Liz held out her arms as Alex carefully lifted Liz up and into the back seat. He then folded up the wheelchair, got in besides Liz and put the wheelchair on his lap.

"Are you ok there Alex?" Liz asked concerned.

"Of course Lizzy bear" Alex said smiling at her.

Isabel and Max jumped in and set off down the road again.


"Oh Maria!" Michael moaned as he kissed her.

Maria whined as Michael slowly undid the buttons of her top. As he did so he kissed each bit of skin that was exposed.

"Mmm Michael! Oh baby, please!" Maria moaned as he finally undid her buttons and carefully slid the top away from her.

Maria smiled wickedly as she began to do the same to Michael. She whimpered as there bare skin touched.

"Ahem!"

Michael and Maria jerked away from each other and turned towards the door to see four pairs of eyes looking at them. The pair froze. They looked from the girls faces of shock to the boy's faces of amusement.

Maria scrambled away from underneath Michael and grabbed her shirt.

"God Michael! Haven't you ever heard of a lock! Or hey you could have at least shut the door!" Maria shouted.

Maria did up the last few buttons of her top and stormed out of the apartment.

"Maria!" Michael called after her, but it was too late.

Michael sighed as he grabbed his shirt and set off after her.

The four stared at each other for a few moments in an awkward silence.

"Well…" Isabel said coming into the room. "I guess we should get these things in the freezer before they melt any further."

Max and Alex came into the room and put the girl's things away where Liz and Isabel told them to. When they had finished, Isabel turned to them.

"Well, I guess I should go and change. Thanks for your help guys. See you later" she said with a smile.

Isabel crossed the room, went into her room and shut the door behind her.

"Well, I guess we should get going, we better go put our food away." Max said. "Err, should I come back then around sixish Liz?"

"Yeah sounds great Max" she said with a smile. "Bye Max. See ya Alex."

"Bye" Max said giving one last look at Liz before reluctantly leaving the room.

Alex ran forward and wrapped Liz in a hug. He then leant in to her ear and whispered.

"Don't get up to too much later".

Alex quickly dodged Liz's outstretched hand and laughed as he ran out of the room after Max.
