Tut, tut, tut. Trude's got her mind in the gutter again!

what do you mean with again? like my mind was ever somewhere else

KYLE

After watching tv for a few minutes longer, I also get up and head upstairs to the room I share with Michael. I spot Max and Liz farther down the hall but they are too focused on their discussion to notice me.

Boy am I glad about that! Tomorrow is soon enough to get an earful about me accidently spilling Alex's secret. I quickly walk into my room and close the door behind me quietly.

Not hearing them coming after me, I quickly change and lay down tiredly, hopefully I'll be asleep soon.

*Michael*

'Fuck this,' I think, growling at myself. It's not even midnight on a Saturday night and I'm here? Lying in bed? With all of America watching, too? That ain't gonna happen.

I roll off the bed and grab a pair of clean jeans and pull them on. I get a new shirt and pull that over my head. Surveying myself in the mirror, I think I look pretty damn great. I pull a comb through my hair and now it's perfect. Yeah. Ready to go.

But how to go; that's the problem. I still got no wheels. I could take the damn house van or maybe ... I know I'm not going to risk my skin by 'borrowing' Isabel's or Maira's but there are other options. Kyle's car? Max's? They're both in for the night. Kyle went out in Isabel's so his keys might still be here ... I move over and check the top of his dresser to take a quick look and suddenly Kyle appears in the doorway. Damn.

"Hey," I say as he flops down on his bed. I don't see any keys. That's when I remember he doesn't have a car, either. So, I'll take Maxie's. That'll work. It aint a great ride, but it'll be fun to take it from him. " See ya later," I say and step towards the door.

::laughs:: I'd say so since the only kiss between these two so far was Liz kissing Max on the cheek. But that was just too funny for me not to quote it.

And Iz! You keep leaving me so lost as to what to write. ::laughs:: It amuses me.

He says quietly answers my question without so much as a beat between. Almost as though he didn’t even need to think about it. He mentions that I haven’t given him a black eye, something Alex isn’t particularly innocent of, and a smile teases my lips. And he says that he wants to help me feel a little more at home here, which is sweet of him.

I am about to say thank you, but I’m stopped as he reaches up push my hair behind my ear. I close my eyes as I try to commit that sensation to memory. The gentle way he brushed my hair away from my face, the lazy passes his thumb is making on the back of my hand. I have to be dreaming this. There is no explanation as to how this could be real. The entire evening has been odd since Izzy left on her date.

This has to be a dream. Izzy doesn’t know that Alex likes her. Alex doesn’t know that Izzy found out. Max and I didn’t joke about a kiss. I didn’t kiss Max. Max isn’t standing in front of me, holding my hand and brushing his thumb over the back of my hand. He didn’t just run his fingers through my hair to tuck it behind my ear. And I’m not standing here wishing that he would kiss me.

“Thanks,” I manage to say, to him with a small smile, not sure if it’s for what he did or what he said.

OOC -- I edited my post, Trude.

*Michael*

Kyle doesn't respond so I barrell right on out of the room. Gotta kick this night up into SOMETHING. Just don't know what yet. I'll try that club. It's not Sunday, but maybe Candy will be there.

Stepping into the hall, I see Max and Liz still standing there in the hall at almost the same place they were when I went into my room a few minutes ago. They're standing so close together, but Max steps back as soon as I walk towards them. What's up with that?

*Max*

Liz says nothing but 'thanks' and gives a small smile but she didn't actually tell me anything I could do to help her. I don't know what to do about that and before I can decide my next move, Michael comes barging out of his room. He doesn't need to pass this way. Kyle went into that room a moment before without coming close, but Michael doesn't seem to care. He turns and comes towards us instead of straight for the stair. I step back a few inches as he approaches.

"What? You working on being a hallway decoration, Evans?" Michael asks, his voice a challenge. "I got news for you. Ya ain't that pretty."

I try not to get defensive but sometimes just hearing his voice makes me want to tense up. "Well, I suppose that's my problem, not yours," I tell him.

"You're wrong there. I gotta look at you, afterall. So does Liz. At least she's got some looks. Give the girl a break," Michael says. "Me, I got better things to do." He turns and walks noisily down the stairs.

I turn back to Liz, feeling a bit sheepish. "Well, maybe I should let you get to bed then, huh? Let me know in the morning if you think of something, okay?" I pause just a moment, fighting the urge to get close to her again. There's no reason for it, afterall. She's just a friend and that's all she wants to be. "Sleep well."

sorry to pop up with another question instead of a post but ..

... since Michael is leaving, will he be coming home tonight/in the morning or stay with a girl? or bring a girl home to be around in the morning? or two girls? or three?

isabelle · Post by **isabelle** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 2:28 pm

Oooooh. Good Question. I wasn't planning to play out his little solo adventure but I guess I need to figure out how it will end.
