Chapter 44 Sexual Tension, Alcohol and its effect on aliens
Tess was standing in front of her dresser mirror and put the finishing touches on her costume. She was meeting the others in a few minutes in the common room of the boys dorms for a halloween party. This year she decided for a rather button uped outfit, than she usually went for. Kyle and her wanted to do something coupley and so they dressed up as Neo and Trinity from Matrix. Her costume wasn´t that much. All she had to wear was black leather pants, which she already owned, a black top, black boots, a black coat and black sunglasses. Thankfully she had her alien powers and she could gladly forgo the black wig. Instead she waved her hand over her hair and they got shorter and darker. Her make up was light, matching this of Trinity in the movie. She was already curious how Kyle would look like in his costume. Probably as hot as always. He was such a great guy. Tess didn´t know how anybody could not love him. Well he was a typical male and often put his food in it women wise. But all in all he was the perfect boyfriend. The time they spent the last few weeks was the best of her life. They were always doing everything together. He even went to see Return to me with her again, although this time they didn´t see much of the movie actually. She could say that she was really happy, even if she found out that she had been an alien in her past life. This information was still kinda weird to her. She could remember two lifes. One on Antar and the one here on Earth. Some days she forgot about Ava and lived just as Tess. Some days she woke up confused and asking herself why she wasn´t in the castle. But it soon passed and her memories would come back. Still some part of her was sometimes looking at Max and she could see Zan in him, remember the love they shared, the fun they had. And then she would turn to Kyle and be reminded that she was another girl in another time. She even caught herself a few times calling Michael Rath and Maria Marianna. They didn´t seem to mind though. Thinking of them, she noticed they both acted pretty strange the last few weeks. She thought they would continue their relationship, seeing how much they loved each other on Antar and how much they felt attracted in this life. But nothing had happened. They went out together, watched movies, talked or made rude comments about other students, yet they didn´t kiss or behave like a couple, at least in front of their friends. Tess turned around when she heard the door open and banished her thoughts until she had more time.
" Hey Trinity, are you ready to go, I think Neo is waiting", Maria grinned at her friend. She still couldn´t believe that her brother could get Tess to wear that outfit of his favourite Movie. She was under the impression Tess was more of a princess type. But this costume looked absolute stunning on her.
Tess eyed the costume of her roommate. It was actually just a skin tight black latex suit with a little black cape. Marias hair was white and her make up just as light as hers. " And what person are you presenting?".
Maria stepped back shocked. How could Tess not know one of coolest tv heros of the world? Oh my god, she had to take the girl under her wings and show her friend her favourite cartoon. " I´m Storm", after she received a blank stare she continued. " One of the X-men".
" Oh. It looks nice", Tess wasn´t so familiar with the cartoons. As a child she only watched bugs bunny and daffy duck.
Maria grasped the arm of her roommate and dragged her out the door. " Let´s go, before I have to strangle you".
Tess only had time to take her lipstick from her dresser before she was pushed out of the room. She didn´t know why Maria made such a thing out of the fact that she couldn´t have a use for the charakters of this show. Of course she knew that a few months earlier the movie of X-men showed in the movie theatre and that it was about mutants. But other than that, she was rather clueless. Her friend was a pretty strange girl. It was like she and Michael were seperated by birth or something. They were so much alike that it was scary sometimes. Suddenly Tess was threwn out of her thoughts, when she noticed that Maria had stopped and released her arm.
" Where have you been so long?", Isabel was impatiently tapping her foot on the floor. Her arms were crossed over her chest and her expression looked scary. She could have melted an iceblock with that glance.
Maria raised her right eyebrow at the tall girl in front of her. Even if she wasn´t dressed as a princess, she was behaving like one right now. " Relax Daphne. You will be still right on time".
Isabel glared at the smaller girl, a strange contrast to her costume, which was a pink dress, a green bandana around her slender throat, pink boots and orange hair. " I´ll hope so. I don´t want to let Alex wait too long".
" He will survive a few minutes without you", Maria rolled her eyes at her friend. She still couldn´t believe that her best friend started something with Isabel. Not that she was against it, not at all. But it was a weird sight to see them both so sickly flirting all the time. Maria shook her head and then turned to Liz, which was wearing a white long dress, white boots and a hairstyle that looked like earmuffs. " I can´t believe you still have that dress".
Liz looked down at herself. She liked that costume and now more than ever, after she saw Max expression at the mention of Princess Leia. " What can I say? I love this thing".
Tess looked at her watch and finally noticed how late it was. " Come on girls. It´s time to party".
Other building
Alex, Max, Michael and Kyle were standing near the bar, which was actually just a two cracker barrels stacked on top of each other. The front was hidden behind a white table cloth and some guy was standing behind it. It seemd like he thought he was Tom Cruise in Cocktail by the way he was trying to let the bottles fly through the air. At some point Michael was so annoyed with it that he gave one bottle a slight nudge with his powers. Seconds later the others heard a clank behind them and loud cursing. Accusingly they turned to the culprit, who in return just shrugged with his shoulders. Max looked at his watch and wondered when the girls would finally arrive. Kyle meanwhile eyed the decoration closer. The common room was changed into a chamber of horror. Everywhere were hanging spiderwebs with real looking spiders in it, at the ceiling where chopped heads dangling, cut off legs and arms were tucked at the walls, bloodstains on the floor and the light was dimmed. Pumpkin lantern had been placed on tables and on the ground near the entrance. It looked like a real Halloween Party. Alex didn´t care about his surroundings, he was too busy with checking the door. He had to distract himself or he would kill the guy, who was in charge of the hi-fi system. The doofus was playing this hip hop shit all the time and he was close to strangle him. What was so bad about a little rock or at least pop?
" Bloody Hell! Can somebody tell my why I choose this costume? It´s hot as hell in here and I´m sweating my ass off", Michael broke the silence between the boys. He was plucking at his tight latex suit at strange places.
The others turned to him and had to laugh about his discomfort. They wanted to warn him that it could get pretty hot in this costume. But he just glared at them and they left it alone.
" I thought you didn´t want to dress up anyway?", Kyle had been envious of his roommate at first, because his friend wanted to go to the party in his usual clothes and he had to wear a damn costume. But then Michael was persuaded from his sister, who begged so long until he couldn´t say no.
Michael rubbed sweat, which was building on his forehead, away. Yeah he had been under that impression, too. That was before Maria came and looked at him with her sad green eyes. How could he have been denying that? Well, at least he had a cool costume. He liked Wolverine and he was told he looked really hot in it. Even if the suit cut all his blood circulation off of him, the thick sideburns scratched his skin and the gloves with the claws was making it hard for him to grip his drink. " You have to thank your sister for that. But I´m actually glad I don´t look like a dork like Whitman here".
Alex glared at the other boy. He didn´t look like a dork. Well a little. But it was part of his costume. He was dressed in brown pants, a green t-shirt and a fake beard, which was the clothes from Shaggy. He was a little dorky. But Isabel wanted to be Daphne and he thought Fred wasn´t so much his type, wherefore he decided to be shaggy. " Hey. At least I´m not boiling in my costume like you".
" Guys. Could you both not behave like five years old?", Max shook his head amused at them. He was feeling like the only grown up in this bunch right now. He didn´t know why Michael complained so much. It was his decision to wear this outfit, well in the known about the fact that he would be sweating in this thing.
Alex faced the other boy with a mischief twinkle in his eyes. Why wasn´t he surprised that he would kill all the fun here? His costume screamed boring. He was wearing white pants, a white long shirt and a white belt around his hips with a lightsaber. " Yes, Master Skywalker".
Kyle sniggerd behind his hands at the pun, which in return earned him a dark look from Max. " What? It was funny".
" Yeah you find something like that funny. The only one in this room with sunglasses. Tell me, is it too bright for you in the dark or is my intelligence just blinding you?".
Kyle took his sunglasses from his nose and threw his counterpart a mean look. Had this nerd never watched the Matrix? They were all walking around with their sunglasses the whole movie. It was part of their clothes, like with the guys from MIB. " No. You´re just so pretty that I have to hide my eyes before I get blind".
Michael saw that Max was in the process to retort something at that. Thankfully they were saved from a verbal exchange of blows with the arrival of the girls. Immediately when he spotted them he nudged Kyle to make him aware of it. " Our dates are here".
Synchronously the others turned their heads to the entrance just as the guy at the hi-fi system put on "Hot Boyz" from Missy Elliott. Instantly the fight over the costume or the torture of said thing was forgotten when the boys laid eyes on their girlfriends or in other cases soon to be girlfriends. Although many people were coming through the door and a few of them had pretty strange costumes, Isabel, Tess, Maria and Liz stood out from them all. They didn´t even make a big entrance and yet every male in the room seemed to stop what they were doing and watched. The girls in return didn´t seem to notice it or were trying to ignore it. Maybe it was the fact, that they were scanning the crowd for something or rather for their partners in crime. Alex, who couldn´t stand the attention from the other boys, quickly shoot his arm in the air and waved like a lunatic, which earned him some amused glances from his friends. But he ignored them, because his plan worked. The girls were on their way to them.
" Hey Shaggy", Isabel went directly to Alex and gave him a kiss on his mouth under the eyes of everybody else.
When they parted from another Alex was a little red in the face and slightly out of breath. " Hey Daphne".
Maria rolled her eyes at her best friend. The boy was so much in love that it was scary. He acted like some cartoon character and she waited every moment that hearts would be appearing in his eyes or he would start dancing like a lunatic. Smiling she faced Michael, who seemed to have the same thought about the other two. " Nice to see that you decided to join the dressed up crowd, Wolvie".
" Yeah. A rather stubborn girl was nagging so much that I got a costume just to stop it", Michael let his eyes travel up and down Marias costume. It was skintight and he could see every curve of her body. Great, now he had one more problem in this latex thing. Thankfully nothing was to see on the outside, but he was sure that he was uncomfortable for the rest of the evening.
Maria stepped closer to him and laid a hand on his chest. " I´m glad you did it. I like the feel of Latex under my fingers", to prove her point she let her hand wander over his front. Just as she was close to his bulging part of his pants she stopped and grinned evily in his face. " And I love Wolverine. He´s so manly and rough. Get´s me all hot".
Michael swallowed visibly. He was stunned that there was still some spittle left, because his mouth went suddenly dry when she looked at him with her burning eyes. He felt the heat rising in his costume and he wasn´t sure if it was the latex or the touching. His eyes went a few shades darker just imagine the things she could do or would do to him. Oh boy hopefully she was dropping this friendship thing soon, because he didn´t know how long he could still hold on. These cold showers didn´t cut it anymore and he wanted to give his hand a little rest. " Really. Then I´m glad I choose this outfit".
" Could do both not do that in front of me", Kyle was still not comfortable with the knowledge that his sister had a past with his roommate. He accepted the fact that she was not like him, but that didn´t mean he had to accept this, too. She was after all his baby sis and he wanted to protect her.
Tess, who was happily tucked under Kyle´s arm, pinched him lovingly in his side. She liked it that her brother finally found a woman for himself. He was less brooding and enjoying his life more. It had been a long time that she saw him so carefree and happy. " Let them. I find them cute".
Michael made a face at his sister. Cute! She didn´t just call him cute, did she? Hell, he wasn´t cute. But before he could voice his objections, Maria nudged him in the ribs to silence him. Surprised he turned to her and saw her stern expression. Boy, how did she know what he wanted to do? Instead of snapping at Tess like he wanted to do, he faced Liz, who was standing shyly besides Max. Both of them stared straight ahead and appeared to try not to glance at the other. It was pathetic to watch. " Hey Liz, where did you leave your costume?".
" Bite me", Liz flashed him a finger quickly. She was used to his dumb comments by now and she knew that he didn´t mean everything like he said it. Besides she had learned from Maria how she could ignore him.
Michael looped his arm around Maria and pressed her tightly at his side, much to her amazement. " Sorry can´t do. I´m already occupied. But maybe another time".
Maria sniggered behind her hand. Only Michael could get Liz to drop her good act for a few seconds and join the club of the bad girls for a while. She hadn´t even known that her best friend was capable of being nasty towards others. That was at least until she and her past lover were crashing against each other. " Be nice to her".
" I was. I just asked her a question and she went all bitchy on me. Did you not see what she did?", Michael complained. He wasn´t at fault this time. He just wanted to start a conversation. How could he know that Liz was pmsing and would start getting pissed at him.
Liz shoot daggers at him with her eyes. When she saw his smirking face directed at her she was close to explode. Now she understood Maria better. It was even a wonder she hadn´t killed him by now.
Luckily she was saved from Max before she did something she would regret later.
" Do you want something to drink?".
Immediately her expression softened at this. Smiling shyly she turned to him and noticed instantly the heat rising in her cheeks. Dreamily she looked into his soulful brown eyes. " Yes, that would be lovely".
Kyle watched the interaction between them and put his finger in his mouth to indicate he would threw up every moment. The other boys agreed with him, which was to see on their amused faces. Contrary to the girls. They just glared at them and their immature behaviour. Tess even untangled herself from her boyfriends embrace and went to Maria instead.
" Can you tell me why I´m dating this guy?".
Maria turned to her brother. He was making silly faces at the back of Max and all the others laughed about it. Sometimes he acted like he was still four and usually she found it funny. But now she thought it was just stupid. " You´re asking me? I have not the slightest clue".
Michael heard the conversation and had the urge to defend his roommate. He wasn´t the most sensitive guy, but he was trying. Besides he didn´t know why they had to harp on his friend. They were boys and they teased each other often. And usually it was Max who got most of it, because he was the weakest among them. " Hey. Leave Kyle alone".
Before either Maria or Tess could tease him about his protectiveness over his roommate, Isabel startled everybody with a piercing shriek. Surprised all turned to her to see what caused her to react like that.
" Oh my god I love this song", she ignored the stunned glances thrown her way and acted like a little girl that just layed her eyes on the most beautiful doll she had ever seen.
The girls listened to the first notes of the song playing. It was " Independent woman part one " from Destinys child. Tess immediately joined Isabel in her joyful screaming when she figured out what just played. Liz was more into ballads like Sarah McLachlan or Celine Dion, sometimes even a little pop. But R´n B wasn´t so much her thing, hence she wasn´t so happy about the music. Maria meanwhile nodded her head to the beat and although she like it louder and angrier she listen sometimes other things. Maybe it was the influence of Kyle, who owned every Hip Hop and Rap CD released in the last few years, but she liked some of the songs.
" We have to dance like immediately", without waiting for acknowledgement from her friends Isabel dragged Liz, because she was the closest to her, with her in the middle of the room. Liz in return grasped Marias wrist in passing by. When she had to make a fool out of herself, she didn´t want to be alone. Her best friend reacted instantly and took Tess´ hand to avoid getting kidnapped. But her roommate had been too distracted with ogling Kyle in his outfit that she couldn´t steady her. So together the two girls were trailing behind the others in the direction of the obviously dancefloor, where a few people already started dancing.
Finally Max made it to the his friends again, loaded with two cups of coke. Curious he looked around and noticed that the girls were gone. " Where´s Liz?".
Alex pointed straight ahead to the mass of moving bodies. " Your sister kidnapped her".
" Great. What should I do with her drink then?".
Kyle gratefully took the cup out of his hand and flushed it in one big gulp. " Thanks".
Michael chuckled at the expression on Max´ face. It was a mix between bewilderment and amusement. He shook his head at them both. They were acting like dumb and dumber, although it wasn´t decided who would be who. At least not yet. When he saw that they both turned their attention to other things, he let his glance wander to the girls on the dancefloor. Well to be exact his eyes were directed at just one of them. Maria was acutally just moving her hips to the rhythm, but she made it with so much passion that she never looked more sexy, especially in her costume. Here and there she laughed about something one of the other girls told her and it seemed to carry over to him. He liked her laugh, the way her eyes twinkled, her nose scrunched slightly and the sound she made, which was like a melody in his ear. Acutally he liked everything about her, even the bickering she just did with him. She always had a comeback, she never backed down from him and she didn´t take shit no matter what. He was glad that they took their time to get to know each other again. Now he was sure that the things he felt for her wasn´t just the remnants of Rath´s love for Marianna, but Michael Dupree falling in love with Maria Valenti. The last weeks with her had opened his heart and his oppinion about love. He had been so adamant that something like love only existed in novels or movies, that there wasn´t the one person, who would be everything for you or you didn´t think you could live without. He didn´t know that it was possible to look at someone and you knew immediately that you wanted to spent the rest of your life with this said person. That was until Maria teached him better. She knew more about him in a few weeks than his grandfather in eighteen years. Well maybe it was because it was easier to talk to her, after all she was just like him. Not just the alien part, but person wise. She had the same taste in music, movies and cars. She was sometimes as closed off with others as him, she didn´t trust people easily and she wasn´t scared to speak her mind. That were all traits he liked in girls. Suddenly he noticed that Maria seemed to have noticed his glance on her, because she looked directly at him with a little smile playing around her mouth. Before he knew what he was doing, the corner of his mouth turned upwards without his doing.
" Man, you´re so whipped".
Michael startled for a moment when he heard that. Slowly he faced the person who spoke into his ear. Great, didn´t have Kyle anything better do to than disturbing him. " Look who´s talking. Didn´t you go shopping with my sister last week? I think it were shoes or something other girly".
Kyle smiled cockily. Yeah they had been bying shoes at first and he wasn´t too happy about that. But afterwards he got his reward for being patient, because they both went into a really great shop filled with lingerie in all colours and materials. And he knew when a girl brought lingerie it was to show them off, which meant he got to see them on her. " No it was lingerie".
" You went underwear shopping with my sister?", Michael hit this information like a ton of bricks. Girls didn´t buy sexy dessous for themselfs, they just did that to look sexy for their lovers. Which lead usually to hot sweaty sex. No No, he didn´t want this thought in his head. Tess wasn´t like that, she was still innocent and hopefully untouched.
Alex and Max finally turned away from watching the girls and faced the show down between Michael and Kyle. They obeserved them both questioningly. Oh Oh, something was happening every moment and after the looks of it, it wouldn´t be a pretty sight.
" Why are you so shocked about that? It´s not like I will take advantage of Tess. I´m not like that and you should know it", Kyle didn´t have to be a mindreader to know what his roommate was thinking. He had been exactly like him when it came to Maria and boys. But now he knew that he couldn´t protect her from everything and she was capable of handling her life alone.
Michael was mulling over killing Kyle quickly or taking his time with it. But then his still working part of his brain told him that his friend was right. His roommate wasn´t just some dumb guy who wanted to score with Tess to get her in his bed and would forget her as soon as he had his satisfaction. Kyle had been treating his sister with respect the weeks they were dating now and as far as he knew nothing sexual had been happening. " I know and I´m sorry. That was probably the big brother in me talking. Don´t listen to it".
Kyle breath out relieved. For a moment he thought he should make his last will, because Michael would rip him into pieces and feed him to some dogs. " It´s all right. It´s not like I can´t relate, after all you´re after my SISTER".
" Yeah throw that back in my face", Michael replied grumbily. Then he threw Max and Alex a mean glare when he saw them snigger behind their hands. Like they could talk. They both were even worse than him. Alex was drooling just at the thought of Isabel and almost humping her leg when she was near. Max wasn´t even capable to open his mouth to say something to Liz, let alone ask her for a date.
Dancefloor
The girls were unnoticed from the boys watching them out of the corner of their eyes. Thankfully the song had changed and the guy at the hi-fi finally noticed that others might not like black music. Now he was playing " Girls just wanna have fun" from Cindy Lauper. Tess and Isabel were loudly singing the lyrics while Maria and Liz just laughed at them. They didn´t care if they would look stupid or would embarrasse themself in front of others. Tonight they wanted to have fun, just like Cindy sang in her song.
" What do you think the guys are talking about?", Liz asked her best friend. She had noticed the glances they received from them and she found it pretty unnerving.
Maria tried to look over to the boys without attracting too much attention to it. So she twirled around slowly and made it appear like it was part of her dance move. When she had her origin posture again she shook her head at Liz. " No clue. Probably us".
Liz wondered why her friend was so casual about that. Didn´t she want to know what Michael was telling the others about her? But judging after her smiling face, she didn´t care. Maybe she herself should do the same. What did she care what Max was talking about her. Even as she thought that she knew it was a lie. She cared what he thought about her.
" Why don´t you make the first move?", Maria saw the faraway look of her friend and she regnorized it instantly. Liz was in her trance like usually when she was in close proximity of Max Evans, former alien king and favourite son in law for every mother.
Liz reacted flushed at the suggestion. No, she couldn´t just go to Max and ask him for a date. She didn´t have the guts for such a stunt. She would probably start to stutter or throw up before she could even utter a hi or something. " No. I can´t do that. I mean I don´t even know if he likes me".
Maria refrained from rolling her eyes at the other girl. She was pretty clueless when it came to men. Max liked her, he was just too shy to say something. But he always observed Liz with this strange look in his eyes. " He likes you, believe me".
" What are you both talking about?", Tess and Isabel gave their voices a little rest and joined the other two girls conversation.
Maria turned to Isabel. " We´re talking about Liz asking out your brother for a date, but she´s too scared to do it, because she doesn´t know if he even likes her".
Isabel faced Liz with a smile. Her roommate didn´t have to worry about this. Her brother was always talking about her and it was never about how boring she was or how quiet she was. She was already close to choke him if he didn´t make a move. She was so sick to hear his sappy notions everytime she spoke with him. " Do it please. I beg you. If I have to hear one more time how great you are, I will probably kick his ass".
" See I told you. Now get your cute little butt in gear and sweep him off of his feet with the Parker charme", Maria was glad she had back up from Isabel. Maybe now her best friend would do something, when she already got the green light from the sister and she had to know it.
Liz breathed deeply in to quell her queasy feeling. Her heart was racing out of control and her hands were sweating like crazy. But she decided to give it a try. " Ok. I will do it. But if he rejects me I will be very pissed at you all".
Maria hugged her best friend joyfully. She was so glad that at least one of them made the first move. " You can do it. May the force be with you".
" Yeah, you can talk", Liz released the other girl and made her way to the boys. Hopefully neither Kyle nor Michael would make a sick comment about her or she would loose her bravery.
Tess and Isabel screamed a good luck behind their friend while they watched her walking straight at Max. They noticed the immediate change in his body language when Liz talked to him. Satisfied they high fived each other after they saw them both leaving together.
Maria shook her head at them laughing. These two were pretty strange girls and she was even calling them her friends. " I´m thursty. I´ll get something to drink. Anyone else interested?". After she received two shaking head, which indicated that they didn´t want anything, she pushed her way through the crowd which seemed to have enlarged in the last few seconds and went to the bar, where Michael and Kyle appeared to be in a deep conversation. Ignoring them she stopped in front of the wannabe barkeeper. " Can I have a coke?".
The guy eyed her for a moment before he began to grin. Slowly he bent closer to her. " What do I get in return?".
" You can keep your head on your throat", Maria replied while smiling sweetly at him. Was hitting on girls part of his job or did he just think he was irresistable? If they would be alone she would have punched him already. Thankfully she left her Buffy attitude in her room tonight or he would be a bloody pulp by now.
The guy laughed, thinking it was just her way of flirting. " A wildcat. I like that".
Maria was really getting annoyed with him. What part of I want a coke didn´t he understand? She only came her because she was thirsty. If she wanted to be stupidly chatted up from the side, she would have let him know it. " Good for you. But can I have my coke now!".
" You have to give me something in return first", the guy wouldn´t give up. He seemed not to crasp the concept of not interested.
Maria was just in the process to lift her clenched fist in the air and give that sleazeball something he would never forget, namely a nice print of her ring straight on his nose when she felt another presence behind her. A pretty familiar someone judging after the tingling of her body.
" She wants something to drink. You have a problem with that?".
The guy immediately stepped back from Maria and hurriedly scurried away to get her something. He didn´t want to be shredded to pieces by Michael Dupree, because he accidently was putting the move on his girl. He was scary enough at it is. Within a minute a cup filled with coke was standing in front of Maria. " Here´s your drink".
" Thanks", relieved she took a big gulp of the cold liquid. She hadn´t noticed how much she needed that. Then she turned to the person behind her, who had been so kind to save her from dieing of thirst. " Thank you. You´re my hero".
Michael smirked cockily at her. He liked hearing that, because the hero always got the girl in the end. " I could get used to this title, although I prefer the term master or god usally".
Maria tried to hide her smile behind the cup in her hand. She didn´t miss the sexual indication behind his words and it didn´t bother her anymore. She was used to it by now and knew how to handle him. " I prefer rather the term mistress myself".
" Oh please. Can´t you find a room. I don´t need to hear that", Kyle was so sick of listening to them flirt like crazy. There were things he wanted to be in the dark about his sister. Sometimes it was too much information.
Maria hadn´t noticed that her brother was still besides them. Slightly blushing about the things he just heard, she turned to him. " Sorry, we will shut up now".
Kyle held his hands up. " No need. I´m going to look for Tess", and he walked away.
" I think someday he either kills me or he hides you", Michael chuckled slightly. Poor sap, it was a hard thing to see your little sister all growing up and getting sexual active. He knew that feeling all too well for his liking. He wanted to keep the memory of Tess like she was before she started to grow into her woman body. A little girl with braided pigtails, a little tooth gap in the front and annoyance towards the other gender.
Maria swallowed the last gulp of her drink and put the cup on the bar. " I hope it´s the first. I don´t like to be a prisoner", while she talked she was desperatedly looking for the barkeeper, because she was still thirsty. But he had obviously buzzed off, afraid Michael could beat him. Great, what should she do now? Climb over the tables and risking getting hurt in the process, because the construction didn´t appear to be stable or trying to get the evening over without anything to drink. Suddenly she spied the cup from Kyle. Happily she snatched it and took a big swig from it. Immediately after the liquid was down she regretted it. Her brother had decided to take something stronger tonight. The taste was aweful and she noticed the effect of the alcohol instantly. Her sight was getting slightly blurry and the room seemed to spin around her, while the lights were getting from bright to dark. Dizzily she tried to hold onto something. Unfortunately the only thing available was Michael.
" Hey, are you ok?".
Maria shook her head for a moment, before she realized it wasn´t good to move. It was enough that the room changed his direction every few seconds. " There was alcohol in Kyle´s drink".
Michael saw that she was on the brink to crash to the ground and quickly wrapped his arms around her middle to keep her upright. He was worried, because he never saw someone get drunk so fast from a sip. " I should bring you back to your room".
" No. It´s already over. I´m feeling better", the little slur in her voice betrayed her words. She was completely drunk.
Michael looked into her eyes and noticed that the usual green color was gone and replaced with a darker shade. And then the slight glazed glance in her eyes and he knew that he had to get her away really fast. " You and I will go a little outside. Hopefully the fresh air will clear your head a little".
Maria pushed herself away from him. How dare he imply she was drunk. She was just a little tipsy. " I don´t want out. I want to stay here and have fun".
Michael tried to get ahold of her again before she did something stupid or embarrassing or both. But she just danced around him and made funny faces at him. She even had the nerve to stuck her tongue out at him, what showed that she was more effected from the alcohol than she wanted to believe. " Maria. Let me get you to your room".
" No. I wanna dance now", with that she bounced to the dancefloor, where she immediately started to move her body to the music. She didn´t even dance to the rhythm, but she didn´t notice it either. It was like she heard her own song and was shaking her torso to its own accord.
Michael scanned the crowd for his friends. Maybe the others could help him drag Maria out of here. But unfortunately neither Kyle nor Alex were in sight. He didn´t even need to look for Max, because he went away with Liz a little while ago. Dammit, where were the others when he needed them! Annoyed he made his way to his other half through the mass of bodies. " Maria. I think we should go".
Maria shook her head like a little child who didn´t want into her bed. " Come on, don´t be such a party pooper. Dance with me", and without giving Michael a time to react she snatched his arm and pulled him tightly at her body, wriggling seductively against him.
" Maria. Don´t do that to me", Michael rubbed his face desperate. She was stimulating his already boiling body to the brink of exploding and he didn´t know how much longer he could resist his instincts to grab her and do things with her he only read in books. He was aware that she wasn´t herself at the moment and that most of her actions were influenced from the alcohol, but he was after all a guy.
Maria slide down at him and let her hands follow the path along his chest. She stopped in front of the bulge in his pants and lingered a few moments there, before she moved back up again until she was in direct eye contact with him. " What am I doing to you?".
Michael noticed the sweat tripping down his face and his heart pumping painfully fast in his chest. This time it wasn´t from his suit, which had grown a little smaller. She couldn´t seriously ask him that question, could she? " Don´t tease me like that. I don´t have such a control level as Max or even Alex".
" I want to feel you lose control", she whispered hotly into his ear while her hands were sneaking around him and grasping his ass.
Michael´s eyes wided suddenly at the suggestion and the obviously statement behind her words. Oh god, either he died and went to heaven or he was still dreaming. At least he thought that until she squeezed his butt with her hands. " I´d rather not. If I want to lose control I want you there with me. Sobber and everything".
Maria stopped her dancing and her eyes seemed to be blazing. Something passed in them for a moment, which looked like hurt and anger. " You don´t want me?".
Michael took her face in his hands and pulled her closer until they were practically nose to nose. " I want you more than you can imagine. But I don´t want to take advantage of you. You´re under the influence of the alcohol and if something would happen tonight, it wouldn´t be you".
" I´m not drunk. I´m still sobber enough to know what I´m doing and with who I´m doing it", Maria wrest her face from his hands angrily. How could he think that from her? She wasn´t so.
Quickly Michael shoot his arm forward and wrapped his hand around her wrist to prevent her from walking away from him. He couldn´t leave it like this. It wasn´t his intention to hurt her or imply something that would upset her in any kind. " I´m sorry".
Maria wanted to rip his arm out of his socket, but the sencerity in his voice stopped her from doing it. Carefully she lifted her face and looked in his chocolate colored eyes. Eyes that made her knees weak in both lifes. Suddenly her legs seemed to stop doing their job and were close to let her fall. Instantly Michael placed his arms around her and held her secure in his embrace.
" I should really get you in your bed".
This time Maria didn´t fight him and agreed wholeheartly to let him accompany her to her room. Safely they both made their way out of the common room, past the last people arriving the party, couples making out in a dark corner and drunk guys laying on the floor. The cold air hit them both as soon as they stepped outside. The campus was pretty abandoned at this time, just here and there people were scurring around. But otherwise they both were alone. Michael eyed every few seconds the girl in his arm, just to be sure that she was alright. Her eyes were closed and she had placed her head on his shoulder. A small smile appeared on his face. She was so adorable when she kept her mouth shut. At that a quiet chuckle escaped him and slightly shook his body.
Maria noticed the movement under her head. " I hope you´re not laughing about me".
" No. I just remembered a joke Kyle told me this morning", it was safer for him to lie than tell her the truth. She wasn´t feeling too fit right now, but that didn´t mean she couldn´t do some damage to him or maybe some part of his body he was pretty attached to. He was rather safe than sorry.
Maria opened her eyes. Kyle told him a joke and he found it even funny? That was quite unlikely. Her brother was good in most things, but his jokes made just himself laugh. She couldn´t remember when someone else could laugh with him. " Tell me the joke".
Michael hadn´t expected that she wanted to hear it. Either she knew that he was lying and wanted to see his reaction or she was so far gone that she didn´t even notice what she was saying. Desperatedly he tried to find a joke he could tell her. However his mind drew a blank. " I can´t tell you. It´s a joke among men. You wouldn´t understand it".
" Liar. You didn´t remember a joke. You laughed about me", she had busted him and not just because he had no talent to get a lie smootly across to someone, but she had picked up his thoughts through their link, which had been getting stronger the more time they spent together.
Thankfully Michael was saved to reply something with the arrival at her door. " We´re there".
Maria finally noticed her surroundings. Oh well looky there, they were at her room and she hadn´t even realized it. " Can you open the door for me?".
Michael watched her pale face and decided to bring her to bed as well. After that he would get the hell out of dodge, before he forgot that she was drunk. " Yeah".
Slowly he pushed the handle down, still a tight grip on her in case her feet wanted to give in again and pressed his shoulder against the wood to open the door. Carefully he led her into the room until she suddenly pulled herself out of his embrace. Surprised he saw how she lifted her arm and the door shut with a loud thud behind him. A little confused he turned to her face and detected that every trace of illness was gone from it. Now she looked at him with a twinkle in her eyes that made him feel like he was the prey and she was the hunter. But before he could ask her what was going on, she had him pushed hard against the door and was kissing him with a brutal force that had him reeling. She was nipping his lips with her teeth while her hands trapped his at the door beneath his head. The handle was painfully digging into his back and he tasted blood from Maria biting to hard on his lip. But strangly he didn´t care about that. Until she stopped attacking his mouth and kissed her way down his throat.
" What are you doing?".
Maria looked up at him with a smile on her face. " If you´re asking me that, I must do something wrong".
Michael shook his foggy head. He was close to lose the remaining part of his brain that could form sentences. " That´s not what I meant. I thought you weren´t feeling to good a few moments ago and now you´re attacking my like I would be a meal and you´re starving", after he saw the guilty look on her face he knew what occured. " You tricked me".
" Are you complaining?", Maria could feel the answer already poking her. She knew he wanted it as well as her. But why did he fight against it? Why couldn´t he just let everything happen?
Michael thought about the question. He should be pissed because she lied to him just to get him into her room, to be exact in her bed. And yet he couldn´t. He wanted to get into this position from the day he saw her and more so since he knew her. But something was still holding him back. " No. It´s not a secret that I wanted this to happen. But I don´t want you to regret it tomorrow when you´re thinking clearer again".
Maria put her hands on both sides of his face and kissed him tenderly. " I won´t regret it. I promise", after all the alcohol had flown away as soon as she inhaled fresh air.
Michael now finally freed from her grip took the advantage and spun them around that now Maria was pressed against the door. " I just have one condition. This time we start it slow".
" I didn´t know that you were capable of slow. But if you want I´m game", just as long as they would get a move on. She was already fidgety and her body screamed for release.
Michael just waited for those words and without saying anything he kissed her. Not so forcefully like she did earlier, but more gently. Taking his time and just enjoy the sense of her pressed against him. Smelling her scent, tasting her and feeling every reaction of her body to his caresses. Carefully he entwined his arms around her middle and let his fingertips travel over her back. But the damn suit was getting in his way. Smoothly he took the zipper of it in his fingers and pulled it down ever so slowly. Then he took it off in the same pace and kissed every centimeter of bare skin he revealed. Maria moaned deeply in her throat when his lips graced her shoulders, down to the top her breast, which were lacking a bra, because the suit had been to tight for any kind of underwear. She almost screamed when he came to her right breast and suckled at her sensitive nipple there. Heatedly she buried her hands in his hair and pushed his head closer, while his left hand stimulated her other breast with his fingers. She closed her eyes and let herself carry away from the waves of pleasure shooting through every nerve. Nothing would ever feel so good like the things he did to her. Suddenly he released her nipples and trailed a wet path down her belly with his tongue until he came to the part, who was still clothes by her suit. Michael kneeled at the ground and took both hands to pull the rest of it down her long legs. She made a strange noise when the cold air hit her most sensitive spot. Immediately he covered it with his mouth and let his tongue circle the nub there. Now Maria couldn´t control her vocal cords anymore and she didn´t care if anyone could hear her anymore. Her legs were failing their duty and if not for Michael she would have already crashed to the ground. Her whole body seemed to be on fire and she felt like she would burn every moment. But if that would be the case, she would at least die happy. Then suddenly she climaxed so quickly that she was caught by surprise and she let a cry escape that would have even woken the dead. Michael stood up from the ground and kissed her again, sharing her taste with her.
" Halleluja! Where did you learn how to use your tongue like that?", Maria was pretty wiped out and satisfied. But she knew that it was just the beginning and just the thought of what would follow let her body tingle of joy once more.
Michael grinned mischievously at her. " From Tess´ magazines".
Maria laughed at that and it shook her complete body. " Then I should thank your sister".
" Let´s not bring her up now", Michael didn´t want to have the picture of Tess in his mind just in this exact moment or it would all be over. The last thing he needed was cooling down with the image of his annoying little sister.
Maria could only agree wholeheartly. She had actually others things that occupied her mind. Roughly she turned them around and put Michael in the same position he was earlier. Trapped between her and the door. " You´re right. I think we were just in the middle of something", to prove her point she waved her hand over his suit and let it disappear.
Now he stood in front of her in the nude and she stepped back a little to enjoy the view better. She roamed her eyes from his broad chest to his slightly hairy obviously trained belly before she stopped at his pretty big erection. Trance like she got closer to him and started kissing his throat while her hands were caressing his body. Here and there she scratched a spot with her fingernails, not to deep, she didn´t want to hurt him after all, but enough to let him know they were there. When she bit softly in his right shoulder she felt the moan vibrate in his throat. Carefully she slid her right hand down his abs until she gripped his pulsating rod. At first she lightly caressed it with her fingertips before she began to pump it stronger. Michael couldn´t control his body and pushed into her hand in rhythm with her movement. He was close to explode and he didn´t know what part of his brain was still keeping him from doing so. Suddenly she followed the path were her hand had been with her tongue all the while watching his face and admired the blissful expression on it. The first contact from her mouth on his penis was sending him almost into a heartattack. She was twirling her tongue around the head as her hand kept pumping him faster now. His hands were clenching and unclenching besides him and all his nerves seemed to be active.
" Maria. Bed".
Maria stopped what she was doing and pulled her mouth off of his dick. Her eyes glistered with happiniess, because she already knew what would be coming now. " All right commander".
Two hours later
Kyle and Tess had been looking for their siblings, but with no result. They both were gone and nobody had seen them. Alex and Isabel especially hadn´t been a great help, because they had been making out in his room. Max and Liz were still somewhere so they had been out of the question, too. Now they were on their way to Tess room, their last try for tonight. Frustrated Tess was close to cry, even if Kyle tried to comfort her. What could happen to Michael and Maria? They were both old enough and capable of kicking everybodies asses. He didn´t worry so much.
" Tess, their both fine, believe me".
Tess turned to her boyfriend. How could he be so calm? Her brother could have been kidnapped or killed or something. " How do you know that?".
Kyle squeezed his girlfriend tighter at his body and kissed her temple. He had a strange connection to his sister and he would be the first to know if she was in trouble. Besides he trusted his roomate to take care of her when he wasn´t around. " I just know".
" Great, now I´m relieved", Tess replied sarcastically. Like Kyle had the answers to everything. He just knew. A great help he was.
Kyle was glad that they finally came to the door of her room, because he didn´t want to get into a fight with her tonight. Everything had been going so well. Until she noticed her missing brother. Without saying anything he opened to door and immediately closed when he heard something like " yeah commander, right here" uttered from his sister. Shocked he glanced at Tess. " I found them".
Tess brightened visibly and tried to get past her boyfriend to see it for herself. But strangly Kyle blocked the door with his body. " What´s up? Did something happen? Are they well?".
" Yes something happened and they are definitely well", Kyle was sure of that, judging after the moving blanket on Marias bed and the strange noises they made. Oh, he wanted to never see something again, although he hadn´t exactly seen anything. But the imagination alone let his stomach make flip flops.
Tess watched Kyle getting paler and paler. It looked like he was on the brink to lose the food he ate. " Why do you look so sick then?".
Kyle pointed behind him to the closed door. " He and she, together. Really together".
" Together?", at first Tess didn´t understand what he just told her. But then her mind cleared and she got the indication. Oh that. Finally it was slowly time. Smiling she laid her arm around Kyle´s shoulders. " That means I have to sleep with you tonight then".
At that Kyle forget the nasty picture of his sister and his roomate doing it. Grinning from ear to ear he led Tess away.
