As you can see by some of the reviews I messed a line in this chapter
I put Jack, who is Michelle's nephew, in place of Tony's name by mistake
I have fixed it to Tony's name
I apologise to anyone I confused, I really feel aweful about it
Again, it is Tony's name and I have fixed it in this chapter
Tony looked around the room and then back down at her. They had fallen asleep for a few hours while waiting out the rain.
"What's wrong?" She asked, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"The lights were flickering, looks like the power is trying to come back. We could watch that movie I promised you." He said.
"Sure." She agreed, turning into him, just laying there next to him the most content feeling she'd known in a long time.
They agreed on a movie and he put it in the DVD player, turning off all the lights and leaving the candles burning. They snuggled up together on the couch, him on the inside and her in front of him, he could feel the goose bumps running up and down her arms and pulled the blanket off the back of the couch, draping it over them and then wrapping his arm around her.
They lay quietly watching the movie that both of them had seen before, the togetherness of the moment more important than what was playing on the screen. She turned around to face him and he kissed her very softly.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, just a little tired still." She said with a yawn.
They slept cuddled up together on the couch until the sun came through the windows the next morning. Michelle opened her eyes, took a moment to collect her thoughts and sat up quickly, startling him.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"What time is it?" Michelle asked panicked.
Tony looked across the room at the cable box sitting below the television.
"It's 6:30." He mumbled sleepily.
She lay back down, rolling onto her side, gliding her hand over his stubbled cheek until he opened his eyes again.
"I had a good time last night." She said.
"Me too." He said.
"I need to go. I have to be to work by 9." She explained.
"That's 2-1/2 hours from now Michelle." He mumbled still trying to wake up.
"I know, but I want to go home and take a shower and stuff before work. Do you mind if I use your bathroom first? She asked.
"The bathroom is a right, then a left down the hallway, first door on the left." He said and moved his arm off of her so she could get up.
Once she was up and gone he sat up and tried to work the feeling back into his left arm and shoulder. He'd slept great, so great the fact that he had no blood circulating through his left arm didn't wake him up. He walked out of the living room and stood by the front door, waiting for Michelle. She met him at the door and smiled at him.
He opened the door and walked her to her car. She stood by the door and turned to face him. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her close.
"Can we get together again soon?" He asked.
"I'd like that." She said.
"How about we do something tonight?" He asked.
"I can't, I have Danny's kids tonight, but you could come over for dinner with us." She said.
"I don't want to intrude on your time with them." He said.
"Well the night is pretty much stuffing our faces with ice cream and watching Disney movies until they fall asleep. You might be terribly bored, but you wouldn't be intruding." Michelle told him making him smile.
"Sounds great, what time should I be there?" Tony asked.
"I'll pick up dinner and it will be served at 6:30 sharp." Michelle said as she opened her car door and slipped inside.
"Do you know how to get to my address?" She asked.
"That's near the park right?" He asked.
"Yep, you're not only cute you're smart." Michelle teased.
Tony arrived at Michelle's around 6:45 pm. He was about to ring the doorbell when he saw a child coming toward him through the storm door. She popped the latch on the door and held it open for him.
"You're late." She grumbled making Tony smile; taking notice of how much of Michelle's attitude came through in those two words.
"I'm sorry, I got caught in traffic." Tony told the little girl.
"He's here Michelle, can we please eat now." Angela yelled as she grabbed hold of his hand and dragged him into the house with her.
He allowed the child to lead him to the dining room where another little boy was sitting at the table. Michelle was busy putting food on their plates. She smiled at him and motioned for Angela to sit down. Michelle set the food on the table and approached Tony. He handed her a pretty bouquet of flowers and kissed her on the cheek.
"Thank you. Just make yourself comfortable anywhere and I'll go get a vase." Michelle said and gave him a quick peck on the lips letting him know that it was okay for him to show her affection in front of the kids.
Tony sat down across from the two kids. They were busy shoveling food into their mouths and giggling about whatever seven year olds giggle about. Jack, the little boy, looked up at him and put his fork down.
"Are you really a agent like Aunt Chelle?" He asked.
"Yes, I'm really an agent." Tony answered feeling a bit nervous, like he was about to blow a really big job interview.
"You don't look like a agent. You like a prince." Angela told him making him smile and even blush slightly.
They all sat and ate until the kids decided they'd learned enough about Tony. They finished their dinner and ran off to play. Tony helped Michelle clear the table and clean up the mess. They settled into the living room and sat beside each other on the couch, not leaving any space between them. He leaned over her and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss. They shared a lengthy, passionate kiss their tongues finding a slow, comfortable rhythm, both noticing the way the kiss brought on that tight fluttering sensation in their stomachs, a sensation neither had felt before. They finally separated, feeling breathless and almost dizzy; their foreheads pressed together, his hands gliding gently down her arms and her hands moving slowly down his strong back.
"I've been thinking about you all day." Tony admitted.
"Yeah, the kids have caught me daydreaming a few times today." Michelle said.
"There are really cute." He said.
They sat on the couch for a while, enjoying each other's company and talking about everything and nothing. Suddenly a small yell came from where the kids were sleeping.
"Chelle! I gotta throw up!" The cry came from the bedroom causing both adults to freeze.
Michelle slipped off the couch, and ran to take care of her niece. Tony stood and watched her walk through the living room, disappear into the kitchen and then come back through with a glass of water he guessed. She finally returned about 15 minutes later and sat beside him. He rubbed his hand over her back gently.
"Is she okay?" Tony asked.
"For now, but I get the feeling it's one of those stomach viruses and that it's going to be a long night." Michelle said.
"Can I do anything? Want me to go find an all night pharmacy and get something for her?" Tony asked.
"You're sweet, but we'll probably just have to ride it out." Michelle said.
"You sure?" He asked.
"Yes I am but thank you. Well our dates have certainly been like Murphy's law huh?" She laughed.
"Honestly, I can't remember when I've had a better time. I think it's because I'm with you." He said sweetly.
He kissed her once more softly on the lips then down to her cheek. She smiled to herself watching him leave, feeling the same butterflies in her stomach as before
So let me know what you think.
