A/N: Thanks once again for your reviews. And here we go with chapter 4.

Chapter 4: Moving In

Almost a week had passed since the incident in the car park and Susan was trying to move on with her life. She had busied herself with work and everyday life. It didn't work thought no matter how hard she tried she couldn't get the kiss out of her mind. The way his strong chest pressed up against her own, heat emanating from each other, as the world seemed to spiral out of control in just one touch.

She could recall every vivid detail of his warm blue eyes melting with hers. The tantalising way his tongue darted out of his mouth to lick at his kissable lips. Then ever so quickly he had his lips placed against hers. Softly nipping and biting the soft flesh. He had invoked her whole body into a frenzy. She was desperate to feel him and instinctively drew him closer. The feelings she was experiencing within her were exhilarating. She hadn't felt like that in such a long time and her body treacherously responded to his touches and warm caresses.

Shaking her head slightly she chided herself for giving Mike Delfino the time of day. She had to remember all of his bad traits. He had hurt her, left her alone, betrayed her, ignored her for almost a year and treated her like garbage. She had tried to be his friend so much and he refused to acknowledge her presence. All the time they spent together as lovers, when they were making plans for the future had meant nothing to him. If he cared even a little bit he would never have left. He wouldn't have broken her heart.

Susan smiled to herself she was already starting to feel better. She didn't even know what she ever saw in Mike. He was definately a Karl in disguise. Someone she was better off without. She felt sorry for his new girlfriend.

At that thought her heart lurched in pain. There was another side to Mike, a side that she had loved so much. He was incredibly handsome but he also had the most caring heart she had ever known. He used to look after her. When she was upset he would hold her in his arms soothing her with his soft words. He was the 'one' or so she thought. She loved the way his strong arms wrapped around her shoulders holding her close to his own body. She felt safe in his embrace and nothing could hurt her not when she was with the man she loved.

The way he used to make love to her, gently teasing her body making sure not one inch of her skin went neglected. She closed her eyes remembering the soft touch of his hands as they glided across her smooth skin. The way his lips and mouth kissed her skin teasing her nipples with his tongue, his soft touch driving her crazy with pleasure till she moaned for him to stop teasing her.

Susan felt her body responding at the memories and felt the familiar desire building up in her stomach. She had to stop this what good was it going to do? She should never have let him kiss her. She shouldn't have kissed him back. She was angry with him for messing up her life and then walking out again. Although technically she was the one who turned away from him this time.

Standing up she walked towards the coffee machine filling up her mug with the hot liquid. Maybe she could go for a jog to clear her mind. Just as she was about to go and get changed she saw Ron get out of his car and walk up her porch. Sweet dependable Ron.

He smiled when he saw her looking through the window. She waved back softly and went to open the door, "Hi Ron."

"Hi Suz, I see you're feeling better," he smiled walking in with a knowing grin plastered on his face.

She looked at Ron, her boyfriend who would always be here. He would never hurt her unlike everyone else.

"Yeah much better," she grinned drawing his head towards hers for a passionate kiss.

Ron responded eagerly threading his hand through her hair. Susan opened her mouth slightly to allow his tongue to mingle with hers. She didn't object when Ron started to pull open the buttons of her blouse, his hand touching the smooth expanse of her stomach. Pulling away from his lips she hungrily pulled off his shirt throwing it to the floor. Ron smiled as she placed soft open-mouthed kisses on his chest. Susan looked up at him softly taking his hand and leading him toward her bedroom.

Mike's Apartment

"Wow that was great," sighed Jennifer collapsing against Mike's chest. Her soft blond curls tickling his chest.

"Yeah," whispered Mike caressing her shoulder and kissing her forehead gently.

"So what do you want to do for dinner?" she asked looking at him through lowered lashed. "Or we can just stay here?"

"How about we go to that Italian place," he offered thoughts immediately flooding his mind of the last time he was there.

He had such a great time that day seeing Susan again. He could recall the way her eyes shone brightly as they talked. The way her smile lit up her face. The way her beautiful laughter filled up his senses. He could hear the faint gasp that came from her lips as he kissed her. God he hadn't had the pleasure of her sweet lips for almost a year and half and he couldn't get enough. The way their lips melded together, the intoxicating scent of her skin. Her soft moans of pleasure, which escaped from her lips at his touch.

"Mike? Mike? Hello are you still here?" giggled Jennifer snapping her fingers in front of his face.

"Umm yeah. What did you say?" he replied.

"That I would love to go to that Italian place," she smiled. Mike looked at the happiness bouncing off her. He softly trailed a hand up her bare arm.

"I don't feel like going out, lets just stay here," he whispered kissing her cheek.

"Oh I really wanted to go," she pouted holding out her lower lip.

Mike moved his body on top of hers kissing her neck gently and moving his hands up her body. She moaned softly arching off the bed and gliding her hands across his smooth back. Mike moved his lips down her neck towards her breasts.

"You still wanna go out?" he asked.

Jennifer pulled his head towards hers nodding her head 'no' before meeting with his lips for a passionate kiss.

The Next Day

Julie was sat at the kitchen table eating her breakfast when she saw her mom walking down the stairs hand in hand with Ron.

'Oh great Dr perfect' she sighed taking a spoonful of her cereal. She smiled at her mom as she walked into the kitchen.

"Morning mom, Ron," she spoke his name with a little less enthusiasm.

"Morning Julie," smiled Susan kissing her daughter on the head. "Oh great you put the coffee on. I need some this morning."

She walked towards the drawer pulling out two mugs and pouring both her and Ron a cup.

"What do you want for breakfast?" she asked looking at him.

"How about I make us some pancakes?" he smiled.

"I can do it," she responded pulling out the pancake mixture.

Ron took it from her hands and grinned. "It's okay Susan you sit down."

"But Ron…" she protested.

He placed a soft kiss against her lips and she relented. "Okay fine."

Julie rolled her eyes in annoyance at the display of affection. Could Dr Perfect get anymore needy? She frowned as Ron made himself welcome in their kitchen. She couldn't believe her mom had been seeing him for almost a year.

"Julie you will love these," he spoke looking at the teen.

"Geez Ron if you had told me earlier. I'm kinda full up from the cereal," she replied patting her stomach for emphasis.

"Julie I'm sure you can manage one," spoke Susan looking at her daughter.

"Sorry mom. I don't have the time I have to get to school," she responded hastily picking up her bag.

"You gonna be around later. We can watch a movie together," suggested Ron.

"Can't I'm going to be at my dad's," shrugged Julie noticing the look from her mom. "Sorry Ron."

"Julie, it's Wednesday. You're dad has you for the weekends," spoke Susan eyeing her daughter suspiciously.

"I know but Edie and dad want me to help them with something important," lied Julie looking at her mother. She hated lying to her mother but she didn't want to spend another night in with Ron. The doctor seriously had nothing of interest to talk about and he treated her like a little kid.

"That's fine," smiled Ron. "Maybe tomorrow?"

"Sure that'll be great," she spoke quickly kissing her mom on the cheek. "Bye."

Susan watched her daughter hurriedly leave the house sighing she turned back to Ron. "So how are those pancakes going?"

Susan knocked on the door to Gabrielle's house only for it to be opened hastily by Edie.

"About time you joined us Mayer," she spoke looking at her suspiciously.

"I didn't realize I was that late," mumbled Susan.

"Yeah well come on today's my lucky day," said Edie walking back towards the others.

Susan mumbled something under her breath and with a smile joined her friends.

"Hey guys I bought chips and dip," she smiled in greeting.

They all exchanged greetings and Susan took her seat at the table picking up her glass of wine.

"So Susan how are you?" asked Bree noticing the sombre look on her friend's face.

"Mayer is fine can we begin with the game already," sighed an exasperated Edie.

Susan glanced at Edie with a scowl. "I'm fine thanks Bree."

Gabrielle smiled handing out the poker cards. Susan smiled at her friend. "How's the pregnancy going Gabby not long now?"

"It's great," she smiled softly stroking the large bump. "Carlos is running around making the final preparations." The friends laughed lightly at the image of Carlos.

"When I was pregnant Tom was on the other side of the world. Although he did come through by being there for the births," smiled Lynette.

"Well I had to endure the whole birth by myself. Karl was with his secretary," confessed Susan. She turned to Edie. "Be warned."

"What I am not having any children," protested Edie. "I don't want to end up looking haggard like you."

"I am not haggard," argued Susan.

"Ladies please we're here to play poker," smiled Bree picking up her glass of wine.

"That's right are you all prepared to lose," declared Edie triumphantly.

They all laughed softly and began the game. A short while later Edie was counting some of her winnings.

"Uggh I fold," whined Susan, she was not having any luck at all.

"What do you say Edie?" asked Gabrielle holding up her cards.

"I'll see you Gabby," came the optimistic response.

Gabrielle grinned placing her cards on the table. "Looks like your luck just ran out. Well done junior," she smiled picking up her winnings and feeling her baby kick in response.

"That's okay I'll win it back," shrugged Edie. "Karl's is taking me out to that Italian restaurant tonight."

"Oh I was there last week with Mike," blurted out Susan her eyes immediately widening in shock when she realized she had spoken aloud.

"You were with Mike?" chorused all the ladies except Bree who looked at her friend.

"No..no…I meant Ron," stammered Susan quickly trying to make up for what she just said.

"But you clearly said Mike," stated Edie.

"And the only Mike we know is Mike Delfino," spoke Lynette looking at her friend for answers.

Susan was tongue tied unsure of what to say. She looked at Bree who came to her friend's defense.

"Come on ladies lets get back to poker."

"Screw poker this is way more juicy," smiled Edie. "So Susan tell us what the hell you were doing with Mike?"

"I wasn't doing anything," she whispered.

"What happened? I thought you said you weren't going to see him after the grocery store," spoke Gabrielle softly.

"What the hell are you all talking about?" demanded Edie clearly confused. "You all knew Susan had seen Mike again?"

The girls chose to ignore her remark turning back to Susan who shirked involuntarily in her seat.

"I…err…wasn't…going..to..but..he asked me to meet him for lunch," she whispered.

"And then what?" asked Edie interested in this new drama. She always loved gossip especially when it concerned Susan Mayer.

"And I went…"

"Oh my God Susan, Why?" exclaimed Lynette.

"What? I talked to Bree about it and she said it was a good idea," proclaimed Susan looking at the redhead for support.

Bree sighed as all eyes turned to her. "Yes I told Susan to go. To say goodbye to Mike once and for all."

"Well aren't you the supportive one," grinned Edie. "So did you say a final tragic goodbye to the hunk that is Mike Delfino?"

Susan stared at her smiling face. "Yeah I did."

"So what else happened?" asked Edie curious to find out more.

"Nothing," whispered Susan. "We had lunch and I said goodbye to him. He's moved on with his life and so have I."

"Oh sweetie it must have been so hard," sympathized Lynette touching her arm gently.

Susan looked at her sadly her eyes clearly mirroring the pain she felt.

Edie looked at them in disbelief. "What? That's it. You and Mike didn't recall the old times with a little trip to a hotel or something?"

"Edie!" yelled Bree and Gabrielle stunned at the accusation.

"No we….we….didn't," stammered Susan looking away her cheeks reddening.

"Really then why has your face turned red? You went to a hotel with him," accused Edie goading Susan into revealing the details.

"Did you?" asked Bree noticing the awkward look on her friend's face.

Susan wished she had never come to this poker match. She wished she had never opened her big mouth. She also wished Mike Delfino never came back into her life.

"I….no…we….kissed," she whispered looking at the floor.

"What you kissed him?" asked Gabrielle stunned.

"I knew it," announced Edie proudly.

"Stop it Edie," scolded Bree looking at her sternly.

"Sweetie what happened? I thought everything was fine?" asked Lynette.

Susan felt tears welling up in her eyes. "I..dunno…I…we…it…just happened and..it…felt..so..familiar that I just gave in. Then his girlfriend rang and I felt so guilty and left him there," she sighed sadly putting her head in her hands.

"Oh sweetie why didn't you come and talk to us about it?" asked Bree.

"Because…because it was a stupid mistake and he's gone once again. There's no point dwelling on it," she spoke pouring herself a glass of wine.

"It's going to be okay. Have you told Ron?" spoke Gabrielle.

Susan looked up quickly. "No! I mean there's no point…it was…a spur of the moment mistake and there's no point hurting him when I'm never going to see Mike again."

Her friends nodded in understanding and all eyes turned suspiciously to Edie.

"What?" she spoke defiantly. "I'm not going to say anything."

"Good we need to just leave it in the past," responded Bree coming to her friend's aide.

Susan looked at each of them thankfully glad that they understood and supported her.

"Well seeing as we're on the subject of Mike," began Edie.

"Edie not now," demanded Lynette noticing Susan's face fill with sadness.

"What? It's about his house. Apparently a new family is moving in next week," she responded.

"A new family. What are they like?" asked Bree intrigued at the possibility of someone new in the neighborhood.

"As long as they are not like the Applewhites," shuddered Susan remembering their past neighbors. They had seemingly vanished nine months ago without a word.

"No it's supposed to be a family of four, a mom, dad and two children. Apparently they are very nice hardworking people. God knows why they want to move to a street like ours," retorted Edie picking up a chip and placing it in her mouth.

"Well we must give them a warm welcome," smiled Bree. The girls nodded in agreement at the idea.

"But first let's get back to poker," smiled Edie handing out the cards once again.

That Night.

Mike was sat on the couch with Bongo at his feet. He looked disinterestedly at the paper on his lap, hoping that the images would lift his mood. How come his life was such a mess? Why did he have to think about her every second of the day? She couldn't care less about him she had moved on.

It had been a year since he left. He didn't think about her till the day they bumped into each other at the grocery store and then that lunch. He was stupid. He should have left her alone; maybe his life would have been simpler that way. Why the hell did he stay in Fairview he should have took the first plane out back to LA. He would be free there; he wouldn't have Jennifer constantly asking him if he was okay. How many times did he have to tell her he was fine before she understood, he knew he shouldn't snap at her it was all his fault he had put himself in this situation.

He picked up his cell phone off the table looking as her number came up on the display. Should he call her? What good was it going to do? He bought the phone to his eyes looking at it thoughtfully.

"So they'll be here next week according to Edie," explained Susan sitting on the couch with Ron.

"You're very excited about this," he laughed.

"It will be nice to have a new family move in," she smiled. Especially in Mike's old place. It wouldn't be Mike's anymore and new memories would be created there. Maybe seeing someone else there will make it easier and she wouldn't gaze at the house all the time.

"So did Julie say how long she was going to be?" he asked.

"No," sighed Susan. She heard the distinctive ringing off her cell phone and went to answer it. "Sorry I'll be right back."

She walked into the kitchen to retrieve her cell phone and saw Mike's name flashing up on the screen. What the hell was he doing calling her? Why was he calling her? She had told him to leave her alone. Why wasn't he listening? She looked at the screen and angrily pressed the reject button.

She walked back towards Ron snuggling into his embrace. "Who was it?"

"Err no one important," she replied trying to turn her attention back to the movie.

Her phone rang again and he saw his name flash up on the screen once again. She quickly switched off the phone. She didn't want to speak to him never again.

"Looks like they're not giving up," chuckled Ron.

"Yeah well I have more important things on my mind," smiled Susan turning into his arms.

He smiled at her, his face inches from her own. Ever so slowly she reached up and kissed him. Ron tightened his hold on her trailing his hand under her top. Susan pulled away and got off the couch taking his hand and leading him towards the bedroom.

Mike threw the phone down in defeat. She didn't want to talk to him. Of course she didn't. Why would she? He knew he had hurt her more than he ever thought possible. She had trusted him, loved him and gave him everything only for him to throw it back in her face. For him to say that they were finished and leave Wisteria Lane not once looking back. Even saying goodbye would have been too painful. He had to leave no matter how hard and heartbreaking it was.

Now after all this time their lives had collided once again and all his feelings came rushing back. Feelings for the woman he once loved. In all honesty the woman he still loved. Mike knew that he would never love anyone as much as Susan. It was impossible. She had captivated his heart from the very beginning and he was besotted with her. Everything about her was perfect and beyond wonderful. No matter how much he relived the past he knew she would never forgive him for walking out on her like that. She had moved on without him and was happy.

A week Later

Susan was stood in her kitchen looking out of the window when she saw the large movingvan pull up and stop in front of Mike's old house. Taking a spoonful of cereal she looked curiously hoping to catch a glimpse of her new neighbors.

She saw the men get out of thevan and start unloading it. There was no one else in sight.

"Susan, what are you doing?" asked Ron coming to stand behind her.

"Hmm nothing just thought I would get a peek of the new family moving in today," she explained looking at him softly.

"I'm sure they'll come over soon," he smiled quickly kissing her. "I gotta go I have an early morning surgery."

"Okay bye," she responded turning her attention back to looking out of the window.

Today would be the day where new memories would be created within Mike's old house and fresh beginnings would be made. It was as almost as if had never existed.

"Mom, give it up already," laughed Julie watching as her mother moved to look out of the window for the hundredth time that day.

"Don't you think it's weird how no one has seen them yet?" she asked looking at her daughter for answers.

"No I think they are just busy moving in and will come out when they feel happy," sighed Julie.

"Yes but you think they would have at least dropped round for some sugar or to introduce themselves," spoke Susan. "Something is just not right."

"Okay detective," laughed Julie. "Mom you need to stop being so suspicious."

Susan looked at her daughter and smiled. "Oh look the van is going."

"And that's interesting because?" asked Julie wanting to know where her mother was going with this.

"Because now we are going to go across the street and give them a nice welcome to the neighborhood," replied Susan as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Mom, we can go later I'm sure they don't want to be disturbed," informed Julie.

"Oh come on Julie what kind of neighbors would we be if we didn't say hello?" argued Susan checking her appearance in the mirror.

"Okay fine as long as we can order pizza tonight," grinned Julie standing up.

"Deal," smiled Susan.

They both walked out of the house crossing the street towards Mike's old house both quietly eager to see the new family.

"I don't know what you were checking your appearance for. He's happily married mom," teased Julie.

Susan lightly hit her daughter on the arm. "Stop it you."

Walking up the familiar steps Susan knocked on the door turning to her daughter she smiled brightly as she saw the door opening.

She opened her mouth to speak. "Welcome to the neighb…...MIKE!"
