Enjoy!

Waking up, Analisa felt comfortable. She didn't feel Andre's eyes on her anymore. Was he gone? It could be. He wouldn't stay would he? Maybe he didn't know it was her. Maybe he was too drunk to recognize her. Yeah, that's the answer. He didn't recognize her...

She shivered and slowly got out of bed. She grabbed her towel and stepped into the shower and let the warm water run over her bare body.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

All through the day, Annie sat there, occasionally watching T.V., maybe some movies, or even reading. She was bored. She giggled to herself. Things weren't the same around here without Michael's bright, happy aura.

She sighed and buried her face in her hands. She missed Michael terribly. He was going to be gone for at least two more weeks so he can make up for the canceled concerts.

To her, two weeks felt like an eternity. She sighed again and winced when she felt a jab in her chest. She experienced these sometimes, ever since she lost John. But she never felt them when she was with Michael.

She jerked her head up when she heard the phone ring. She hesitantly got up and walked to the table. She carefully picked up the receiver and pressed it to her ear.

"Hello?" She asked, ready to jam the phone back down at any moment.

"Hey, baby! It's me!" Michael's soothing voice chimed. She sighed of relief and smiled.

"Oh, hey, babe! How are you?" She answered, her heart fluttering every time she heard him.

"Oh, I'm so tired. It's just the first day and I feel exhausted. I miss you, baby." His voice sounded sad and alone and kid like. She giggled quietly and smiled.

"I miss you, too, baby." He chuckled a bit and she could almost hear him smiling. She heard him groan and she knew he had to go.

"Baby, I need to go. We have so much to do. I'll call you when I get the chance."

"All right, Michael. I look forward to hearing your voice again."

"I look forward to kissing you again, baby. Ugh, I have to go now. Bye, baby."

"Bye, Michael. I love you." She smiled.

" I love you, too." She heard him hang up the phone reluctantly. She sighed when he was gone and she put down the phone.

She wanted him there already. But she'd have to wait. In the meantime she needed to find something to pass the time. She only sighed and sat down on the couch, watching a movie.
