"Getting very bold I must say." Isabel says embarrassed before looking away. If I hadn't spotted that smile, I would have thought I went too far. I don't think I did ... not much at least.

"Well, if it makes you blush." I tell her with a grin, "Besides, I sure hope Kyle didn't hear and ... I'm really starting to get hungry." I finish with a laugh. It's been way too long since I last ate.

"Hey Kyle, what have you been up to all day?"

~LIZ~

I flush happily as Max kisses my cheek and murmurs in my ear. I whip my head around and am immediately lost in those amazing eyes. Smiling sexily I say in a soft tone, "Hey, yourself. I'm glad you made it after all." I kind of lean back against his chest and let my ponytail tickle his face a little.

~KYLE~

I glance back at the entrance before shrugging and saying, "I guess I'll come along...as long as I'm not intruding! I don't wanna be a third wheel." I hold up my hands to let them know that I'm serious. It's one of the reasons I don't wanna be stuck with Max and Liz but I sure don't want to be behind Alex and Isabel making out in the "Tunnel of Fear" either. "And you both know I could always eat." I grin at them, trying to forget about Tess for the moment.

"As you wish, my lady," He retorts with a sweet smile and a flirtatious wink. Glancing away with an uncharacterstically shyness I begin to reassess my situation. Why am I all of a sudden bashful? I should be weary and on guard of my feelings. I also should probably be angry and bitter that love has quite literally kicked my ass for the past couple of years. In all honesty, I should be a lot of things, but when I am with Michael, those insecurities melt away.

It is as if whenever he is close I forget all about how much he could hurt me or the possible repercussions of a doomed romance. Instead, I focus on how I feel in the moment and at this particular point in time, Euphoric is the only word that seems to do this feeling justice. Once passing through the door he inquires in a soft caring voice, "Are you hungry at all?" I ponder over that thought briefly, while he continues, "I don't think you were able to get anything at that table in there," He finishes while gesturing with his hand.

“Actually I didn’t, but to be frank I’m not feeling very well all of a sudden.” My head is beginning to throb and I sincerely wish the world would just stop spinning.” As if to physically stop the world from spiraling out of control, I place my left hand over my aching head. “I’m sorry to cut the evening short, but you’d better get me home. Unfortunately drinking on a empty stomach is a lesson I should have learned after the keg party of 98’.” He seems a bit disappointed but more worried about me than anything else.

Wow, a guy who cares more about your well being then getting laid. Those still exist? You do learn something new everyday. I guess Mr. Guerin has more than one surprise in him yet. It’s a good thing that I gave him directions to my house as soon as we got to the car because sleep overwhelms me and I find it impossible not to slip off to dream which is odd seeing as how I never sleep comfortably in cars. Maybe I’m just not a very trusting person but I like to make sure the person driving is alert and paying attention.

However, I have absolutely no trouble giving up control to Michael and trusting him to get me home in one piece. Still feeling a little under the weather, I was dead to the world once we arrived at our destination. The next thing I remember is my knight in faded denim lifting me out of the car and shifting my weight so that he could carry me up the stairs to my front door. Groggy but awake nonetheless I dig around for my keys in my tiny purse and unlock the door without my feet ever touching the floor.

He questions as to which the direction of my bedroom is and I mumble a barely audible “ That way.” Before fading back into dream land while in the safety of his protective arms. My last thought is how perfect it feels being cradled securely in his embrace. A woman could get used to such wonderfulness.

Dawn arrives and the sunlight pours through the silk curtains hugging my windows. Stretching I yawn a bit before opening my eyes to take in the beautiful day before me. My gaze focuses on the rumpled beautiful man lounging in what has to be an awkward position in the chair beside my bed. My first notion is to be a bit peeved perhaps even outraged but his light snoring accompanied by the content smile that defines his features erases all feelings of doubt to his honor.

I allow myself just a few moments to bask in the comfort of his company. My eyes trail over his long straight proud nose that is accented by prominent cheekbones and a lush almost sinful mouth that was created for the pleasure of a woman. His broad shoulders hold up a perfect frame leading me to his lean chiseled arms which held me so tight last night. Licking my lips I allow my imagination to run wild of the other aspects of his bodies that I’m unable to see do to his abundance of clothing.

He slept here all night just so he could take care of me. The revelation is a hard one for me to grasp. He had been a perfect gentlemen and had went above and beyond the call of duty my remaining with me to insure my well being. I’ll be damned.

Easing gently from the bed I use whatever grace I obtain to come in front of him without him stirring awake. I survey his magnificent features anxious to memorize ever-glorious detail so that I shan’t forget what Heaven truly looks like. Bending down ever so slightly I press my lips to his hoping just for one taste of paradise. That’s when his eyes flicker open and I am caught. Oh God. He was so great to me last night and I just woke him up by assaulting him with my mouth and fantasying about pawing at parts I've never seen let alone touched.

What was I thinking? I start to back away but his hand catches my wrist. My breath catches in my throat. i don't move or make a sound for fear of ruining the moment of perfect stillness. The only motion between us is the rise and fall of his chest as he takes in long deep breaths.

Isabel

"Well, if it makes you blush." he says with that sexy grin of his and I swat Alex on his arm affectionately "Besides, I sure hope Kyle didn't hear and ... I'm really starting to get hungry." Oh god I hope he didn't hear what Alex just said! "Hungry for food or some lovin'?" I ask him teasingly,challenging him in a way and I laugh seeing his expression

"I guess I'll come along...as long as I'm not intruding! I don't wanna be a third wheel." Oops,I had almost forgotten that Kyle was behind us "And you both know I could always eat." I sigh and throw my hands up in mock annoyance "Well aren't you two a pair of hungry boys.Let's get this ride over with and then get some nourishment in to you both."

[Sternbetrachter]

Alex

"Hungry for food or some lovin'?" Isabel asks with raised eyebrows about two seconds before Kyle says, I guess I'll come along...as long as I'm not intruding! I don't wanna be a third wheel.""And you both know I could always eat." which is good cause I have no idea what to reply to Isabel. Guess she won this round!

"Well aren't you two a pair of hungry boys.Let's get this ride over with and then get some nourishment in to you both."

"You say it like it's a bad thing that we are hungry." I point out grinning before glancing back at Kyle. "You sure you wanna take the ride right now or would you prefer us looking for Tess first?"

[littleroswell]

occ: Alizaleven, you out there, girl? Everything ok?

~KYLE~

I shake my head at the way those two are whispering to each other. Maybe I would have been better off alone or trying to find Michael. "Nah, let's ride. We can catch up with Tess later," I say. I don't want to appear too eager about finding her. After all, it's not like we're a couple or anything. On the other hand, I would like to know what I did wrong last night. Maybe I'm just overreacting.

OOC-Ali's having laptop trouble.

Isabel

"Nah, let's ride. We can catch up with Tess later," Kyle says but I can see he is some what disappointed that tess hasn't shown up yet.I wonder what's keeping her?She's generally always on time. "I'm sure she'll be here soon Kyle,don't worry."

Taking hold of Alex's hand again,I pull him forward towards the ride,"All right,I'll go stand in the que and get us tickets." I flash them both a smile and hurry off to get the tickets,returning to them a few minutes later and hand one to Kyle "Here you go."

[Sternbetrachter]

Alex

Kyle and I are waiting silently for Iz to return with the tickets, not saying much because, well we are guys. We can live without talking much. After a few minutes, I decide to do some talking.

"So, how was your day so far and how did things go with Tess yesterday?"

But before he can answer, Isabel's already back, handing Kyle his ticket. I suppose she is going to keep mine to herself for now. That, or she didn't buy one for me, wanting to spend some time alone with Kyle.

"Okay, lets get the angst fest started then." I say cheerfully, putting a hand on the small of Isabel's back and motioning for Kyle to go first.

I hope your laptop recovers soon
