Part 7
“Liz, are you okay?” Kyle’s concerned voice snapped Liz out of her state of shock.
“Um…Yeah, Kyle, I’m fine,” she lied. Nothing was fine. All Liz could think about was the fact that she had been here, along with Maria and Alex and ...There had been some other people too, but she couldn’t remember what they looked like or who they were.
“Well, maybe you should drink or eat something?” Kyle asked once again, “You look kind of pale,” he said.
“Kyle, I’m fi...” Liz said and followed Kyle’s gaze, where there was a blanket and a picnic basket on it. Liz gasped; she had never imagined that Kyle could be so romantic.
“Shall we?” asked Kyle, offering a hand.
Liz didn’t say anything, just took his hand and Kyle lead them to the blanket. Liz’s mind was racing; her dreams and newfound knowledge that they had been there was more than distracting.
The evening went on and Liz was surprised to notice, that she liked her date with Kyle. He was sweet and funny, Liz hadn’t laughed that much in a long time, but she also noticed that she had feelings towards Kyle. Friendly feelings.
Kyle would be a great friend.
Later that night, when they were driving back to Roswell, Liz was nervous. Their night was simply perfect, but what now? Would he try to kiss her? Liz hoped that he wouldn’t do something to ruin their evening. And that included a kiss.
Kyle stopped the car at her house and went along with Liz to her apartment. When they came to Liz’s door, she turned to face Kyle, “Well, this is it,” she said, hoping that Kyle would go away.
He didn’t.
“I really had a great time tonight,” Kyle said truly, “You are a amazing girl, Liz, but I bet you already know that,” he told her and leaned down.
‘Oh God,’ Liz thought as Kyle leaned down. When she decided to turn her head, so that way, Kyle wouldn’t kiss her, he surprised her even before she did anything.
He kissed her cheek.
“Goodnight, Liz,” he said softly and went out to his car.
Liz stood at her door for a couple of minutes, totally shocked about Kyle’s behaviour. Then she noticed that the next door was slightly open.
“You can come out, Maria,” Liz said and looked as an ashamed Maria came out of the apartment.
“Hey, Liz,” Maria said cheerily, “Are you back from your date already? I didn’t see the car,” she said.
Liz raised an eyebrow, “Okay, okay,” Maria said defeated, “I admit that! I spied on you and Kyle. Well, was that you wanted to hear?” she asked.
“Definitely,” Liz laughed, “Come on, I want to have a girls night. Can you stay with me?” Liz asked. Her mother and Mr. Pierce were still in Las Cruces and Liz really wanted to talk with someone about what she had found out today.
“Sure, Liz,” Maria replied and went back to her apartment to get an overnight bag.
An hour later, it started to rain, but both of the girls inside the apartment laughed and simply had a great time. They were sitting on Liz’s bed, magazines and ice cream all over the blanket.
“Aww...I can’t believe that Kyle did something like that,” Maria said, “He is such a sweet guy, Liz, why can’t you like him?” she asked.
Yep, Liz thought, Kyle’s number one fan was certainly back.
“Maria,” she said tiredly, “We already have talked about it many times, I don’t have feelings for Kyle,” she said, “Why can’t you understand that?”
“But I have to understand, why were you kissing Max, huh?” Maria snapped, but her voice immediately softened, “I’m sorry, Liz, I don’t know what is happening to me lately...Oh no, I’m wrong again, I know what my problem is, Michael Guerin!” she exclaimed dramatically.
“Geez, Maria, Michael isn’t easy, huh?” Liz asked amused.
“You can’t even imagine,” Maria cried, “I swear his goal is to drive me crazy! I don’t know what the teacher was thinking when he paired us together. I mean, me and Guerin? We are total opposites, like plus and minus, salt and sugar, day and night....” Maria rambled on, while Liz laughed harder and harder, “Well at least I reached my goal and made you laugh,” said Maria after a while.
That was it, Liz thought. She had to tell Maria what she had found out today, Maria had the right to know.
“Maria,” Liz started, “Maybe we should call Alex,” she said in the last moment. Alex had to be here too.
Another hour went on and it was already midnight, when Liz decided to tell them.
“Mmm, guys?” she said, drawing their attention, “I have to tell you both something,” Liz told them, “As you already know, Kyle and I had a date today, but that isn’t all,” she said.
“What is it, Liz?” Alex asked impatient, “Did he hurt you?”
“No, no,” Liz replied hurriedly, “Nothing like that, it’s just...He took me out to the desert, to one particular spot and I...remembered something,” she said quietly.
“Wait, wait, wait... What you mean that you remembered something?” Maria questioned, “Was it a flash again? Like your dreams?”
“No, Maria, that was something totally different. It wasn’t like my dreams, I didn’t see Antar, this time it was Earth,” she said and then took a big breath to say the next sentence, “I think we were born there,” Liz told them and waited for their reaction.
Liz knew it would be a big surprise for both of them. Not to mention that Liz was the only one, who was having those weird dreams about Antar. They hadn’t known anything about themselves, except that they were aliens and now...Liz had told them that they actually had some place where they had been born. That was huge news!
“Umm, well, can you explain what you mean by that?” asked a shocked Alex and beside him, Maria nodded furiously.
Liz told them everything, “When Kyle stopped the car and I stepped out, I saw a flash, but as I already mentioned, it wasn’t like my dreams. I saw myself and you both as children, wandering in the desert, not far from where Kyle and I were having a picnic,” she explained.
“Wow...”Maria said in awe, “T-That is s-something, I can’t believe that we are starting to know more and more....But why now?”
“It’s probably because we have never been as far into the desert as Liz was tonight, maybe that particular place just opened her memory,” Alex tried to explain.
“Maybe,” Liz muttered. Liz couldn’t understand why she was the one, who got all those dreams and flashes. Why not Maria or Alex? Why her?
“What we are going to do?” asked an anxious Maria.
“We aren’t doing anything tonight, or I guess it’s better to say this morning,” Alex said, pointing at the clock, which showed that it was 1 a.m., “But tomorrow is Saturday, so we can go to the desert and see if we can find something more,” Alex instructed.
After that they all went to sleep, but for some reason, Liz couldn’t fall asleep. She was tired as hell, but couldn’t sleep. Finally, Liz stood up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of milk. Maybe that would help her.
It was still raining and Liz shivered. All previous events weren’t easy for her. Because of her dreams, she was always tired, but what could she do? And now, when she had seen that flash in the desert, Liz would probably spend whole night thinking about it.
There was a soft knock at the door and Liz jumped a little. It was already 3 in the morning, who could that be? She listened once again; maybe it was her imagination?
No, this time Liz heard it very well; someone was knocking. Liz stood up and went to the door, in the process looking at her bedroom door to see if Maria or Alex had woken up. Liz chuckled when she saw that they were still sleeping.
Liz came to the door and, without a thought about possible danger, she opened it. She had expected to see anyone else, but not him.
“Max?” she said, clearly surprised to see him.
He looked like a little boy; he was all wet, obviously from the rain. His hands were in the pockets of his jeans and Liz could swear she saw a tear escaping his eye, but she wasn’t sure of it.
“Hey, come here,” she said and pulled him in the apartment, “You are cold,” she said softly as she noticed his shivering.
“I will be right back,” Liz said and turned to fetch some clean and dry towels.
Max stopped her by grabbing her arm, “Please,” he pleaded quietly, “Don’t go,” Max said.
“Max,” Liz said turning to him, “You are cold, we need to get you dry if you don’t want to get sick,” she explained softly, “Come on, sit here, I will be right back,” she said and led him to the couch.
Hurriedly, she ran to the bathroom and took out some towels and a T-shirt for Max. When she went back to the living room, she closed the door to her bedroom. She didn’t want Alex and Maria to see them. That would probably cause another fight.
“Here,” Liz said, coming back to Max and giving him a towel, “We probably need to get you out of your wet clothes,” she said and blushed a little when Max looked at her somewhat funnily, “You know what I mean,” she mumbled, handing him the biggest T-shirt she had.
“I-I will go away until y-you change,” Liz stammered and turned to go away.
“No,” Max said, “Don’t go, please,” he pleaded once again.
What had happened to him, Liz wondered, “O-Okay,” she said, “I-I will just turn around,” Liz quickly turned around.
She stood there for a minute, “You can turn back,” Max’s soft voice filled the room and Liz looked back. Max was standing there only in his boxers and Liz’s T-shirt, his hair still wet. When Liz came closer to him, she noticed that he was still shivering, “Come here, you are still cold,” Liz said and sat down on the couch.
When Max sat beside her, Liz wrapped a blanket around him. She knew that they needed to talk, but she didn’t want to ruin the moment. She took a towel, moved closer to Max and started to dry his hair.
For a moment, Liz was too busy drying his hair that she hadn’t noticed how close they were. She was shocked when Max suddenly sat her down in his lap and started to kiss her. Liz didn’t even know why, but she opened her mouth and responded to his kiss.
Oh, how she had missed his lips!
Since their kiss last week, Liz couldn’t forget how good it had felt. She knew it was wrong, they never had even a decent conversation, but here she was – in his lap and kissing him.
Liz moaned softly when Max moved from her lips to her neck and she tilted her head to one side, in the process, giving him an encouragement to continue.
After some time had passed, Liz felt like she was going to pass out. Max was still moving from her lips to her neck and Liz was moaning softly as his hands travelled up and down her body as well.
Liz felt like she was flying and was surprised when she noticed that she was lying on the couch, Max on top, still kissing her. She unconsciously spread her legs to give him room and Max eagerly settled between her open thighs.
I hope you liked the end! 
And...I really, really want to thank those people, who came to my author's chat! You can't even imagine how much it meant to me! Thanks again!
Oh, and this will be co-written with Pixie_Stix.
