Chapter 11
The next day, Tess knocked loudly on Maria's door. "Come in." Maria yelled. Tess opened the door and walked in flopping down on Liz's bed. "What's up?" Maria asked with a grin as she finished taking some notes for Poli Sci.
"Nothin, just wanted to say 'hey.'" Tess said with a grin. "You know Lost starts tonight."
Maria nodded, "Yes, i know that Lost starts, and i'm very excited, but i know that no matter how much you are in love with Sayid, that is not why you are grinning from ear to ear. So, tell me, did you and Kyle have fun?" Maria asked knowningly.
Tess blushed. "Yeah, we had a great time. Maria, he was sooooo good." Tess gushed.
Lucky Bitch, Maria thought. "Well, i'm so glad YOU got laid." she said with a laugh. "No, i'm really happy for you. Is he comming back with Michael in a couple of weeks?"
"I think so. Speaking of Michael, what is up with you two?" Tess asked. Maria looked at her like she had ten heads.
"What do you mean?" she played dumb.
"Oh common, i'm not an idiot. You two spent the whol weekened attatched to each other's asses. We come into you're room and find you two spooning not once, but twice. Besides, i can tell when you are attracted to a guy. You look at him like an all-you-can-eat buffet." Tess said, barely controlling her laughter.
"Well, he is hot. And a nice guy. We were just hanging out. Yeah, i would love to fuck him. But i really dont think he is ready for that. He's probably a virgin. God, you know how i hate that. And I doubt he is attracted to me. He didn't try to get with me once when he was here. Even when i was trashed." Maria reasoned.
"Oh yeah, Michael isn't attracted to you. I bet that is it. He only stared at you like you were a freeking godess every time you were in the room." Tess said rolling her eyes. "ANd i think he didn't hit on you when you were drunk becuase he isn't an asshole." Tess explained.
"Yeah, well i wouldnt have complained." Maria said with a wink.
"You're sick." Tess said. grinning at her friend.
"Yep," Maria agreed.
*********
Maria called Michael later that night. She had forgotten to call him when he got home, and she didn't want him to think she was blowing him off. "Hello?" Michael answered.
"Hey, it's Maria. Sorry i didn't call last night. I had a bunch of stuff to get ready for today." she explained.
"It's cool. I got back safe, Kyle didn't kill me. Well, he almost made me run the car off the road when he told me in excrutiating detail about his night in Tess's room." Michael said with a laugh.
"Yeha, I was informed as well." maria said. "But as long as they don't get serious i think all will be ok."
Michael shook his head, "You really have a problem with serious relationshinps, dont you?" he asked, already partially knowing the answer.
"Why is it so hard for people to accept the fact that love doesn't exist?!" Maria asked into the phone. "I mean i dont' tell everyone that they SHOULDNT have long-term relationships, even though that it what i believe. But when i tell people i dont believe in love, they act like it is a personal attack on THEM!" Maria ranted.
Michael was slightly shocked. Not by Maria's passion, he knew she was like that, but that she really didn't believe in love. What kept him going each day was the thought that love would eventually come to him.
"Sorry," Maria said calming down, "Just one of those things that drives me nuts."
"It's ok." Michael said. He wanted to shake her and tell her to belive in love to make her belive in love, but he knew that it would jsut result in her hanging up on him, and he didn't want that.
"But, i can't really talk right now, Lost is comming on. Call me sometime," Maria said.
"Ok, goodnight, Maria." Michael said as they both hung up.
Maria felt a little stupid for going off on Michael, but she figured, he would get over it, or he was WAY to sensitive to be around her. She got up off the rocking chair and made her way inside for Lost. Lost night was always a big night. The girls got together and yelled at the TV for and hour, and professed thier love to each other thier men on the show. Maria was a Sawyer fan. Isabel and Courtney both lost it over Jack. Tess lived and died for Sayid. Liz liked a little of everyone.
After Lost the girls generally took an hour to discuss the show and make predictions for what was going to happen next, though they never knew.
Maria went to bed thinking of her conversation with Michael. Why hadn't he pushed her into admitting that love existed? It was pretty apparent that he was a little on the sappy side, from what Isabel told her. Uhhh, why did she care? He was just some guy. There were plenty of more out there that would be ready, willing, and able to jump in the sack.
Maria resolved, before drifting off to sleep, that she was getting laid that week. Her problem obviously lay in the fact that it have been several weeks since she had, had sex.

Chapter 12
The next weekend, the girls decided to go out. Things were getting stressful with calls at Hudson, and they wanted to really cut loose. There was a club downtown that they all wanted to try out, so out they went.
At the club, Isabel and Courtney immediatly hit the dancefloor. Liz and Tess got a table, and Maria made her way to the bar. At the bar, Maria ordered a martini and a beer. The bartender was hot and made a point of looking down her dangerously low shirt. He was a possibility. She smiled at the guy and shook her ass as she walked away. Men were easy, she thought to herself.
She sat down next to Tess and watched Isabel and Courtney break it down. Guys were definatly impressed, they were nearly drooling around her friends. Maria rolled her eyes. Could men be more transparent? After she downed her drinks in record time, she pulled Liz and Tess out of the booth. "We are dancing" she said as she made her way to the dance floor. The five girls danced mainly with each other. They were the hotted girls in the club, and they were teasing the men. It was great.
Suddenly, Maria felt a masculine arms go around her waist, she turned around and saw the bartender standing there, grinding into her. She cocked a beautifully manicured eye-brow at him. "I just got off," he breathed huskily into her ear.
"You have a name?" Maria asked, not really caring.
"Billy." he answered. "You?"
"Maria," she reliped as she grinded harder into his growing groin. Then she turned around and ground her ass into him. She could have sworn she head him groan when she did that. She smiled to herself. Yep, she was getting laid tonight.
They danced together for about an hour, until Liz tapped her on the shoulder. "We are going to go to a bar down the street, you comming?" she asked. Maria looked at Billy, who smiled coyly at her.
"You wanna go do...somthing else?" he asked.
"Love to," Maria said with a twinkle in her eye. She turned back to Liz and said, "I think Billy and I are going to head back to the room. How long you think you are going to be?"
Liz grinned at her roomate. The girl was a maneater! "We will at least be another couple of hours." Liz said with a wink. "Ill knock when i get back." she said with a laugh.
Maria turned back to Billy, "What do you say we get out of here?" she said.
Billy nearly growled as she follwed her out of the hot club. They called a cab and within a few minutes they were making thier way up the stairs, making out the whole way. Maria locked the door and trew Billy down on the bed. "Damn, baby." he said with a laugh. Maria retreived a couple of condoms from her underware drawer and joined Billy on the bed.
She began kissing him, not talking, just kissing. There was not need to talk. She was going to fuck this guys brains out, then send him on his marry way. "Ohhh," Billy moaned as Maria's hands slipped down to his bulging cock. Maria nearly ripped the poor man's clothes of with her need. He undressed her quickly as well, and she sheathed his cock with the condom.
Maria took control, like she had most the night, and upushed him back on the bed, hovering her heat over his cock. Quickly, she sank down on him and groaned at the sensation. He wasn't large, which sucked, but she could work with it. That's why she took top.
She moved quickly up and down his cock. "Ohhh Baby." he groaned, and about 2 minutes later he came. Maria was disappointed. She hadn't even gotten close to orgasm. She should have known that this guy was a minute man. He was way to cocky to actually be good in bed. But they was why she brought 2 condoms.
She let him regaind his strength, before gently bringing his cock back to life. Maybe after that poor performance, he had a little more left in him. His cock jumped to life quickly, just like she liked it, and she began her work again.
Billy lasted a little longer this time. It had to have been a good 5 minutes before he came into the second condom. Maria had almost gotten there that time. Of couse, she was doing all the work.
She sighed and got off the bed, redressing. Billy did the same. "Can i get your number baby?" he asked. Maria wrote down a phoney number and sent him on his way. When she got back in her room, she pulled out her vibrator. She was going to come tonight, if it was the last thing she did.
****
The next morning, the girls all wanted to know waht happened. "That was WHACK!" Maria said over her scrambled eggs. "We fucked twice and i didn't come once." she said.
The girls laughed. Katie and Kaley soon joined them at the table. "What are we talking about?" Kaley asked.
"How rediculous this guy was in bed last night," Maria said rolling her eyes.
"Oh yeah, i know the feeling. Last night, some guy tried to finger me. It was like he was dialing a phone," Katie said biting into her toast.
"Men should be required by law to know how to please a woman." Maria said. If she was president, that was the first thing she was pass.
"So, what's the game plan tonight?" isabel asked.
"Well, i can't go back that bar. I gave the guy a fake number." Maria said.
"You are so bad." Liz said.
Maria just smiled at her friends. Bad or not, she was young, so she was going to have fun.
********
That night, Michael called. "Hey, Maria," he said.
"Michael!" she said. "What are doing?"
"Sitting in my room. Looking at the wall." Michael said.
"Awww, poor baby. You are pathetic. GO OUT AND MAKE FRIENDS!" Maria said with a laugh.
"Yeah," Michael said sarcastically.
"Hey, i will have you know that i will only hang out with the coolest people. I have high standards for my friends, and I like you. So, there ahve to be some coolness in there somewhere." Maria said.
Michael laughed. This girl was amazing. Could it be possible for him to fall for her anymore. God, it was frustrating. "Well, that may be, but people around here are boring as hell. Its the same thing. Go to the strip, get drunk, drive home. You know that isn't me." Michael said.
"True, and if i found out you drove drunk, I'd drive there myself and kick your ass." Maria said seriously.
"So, what are YOU doing?" Michael asked.
"Watching Sereal Life." Maria said. "This show is rediculous. I love it." she said.
"So only 6 days tell you get the pleasure of haning out with me again." she said with a laugh.
If she only knew. "Yeah, but hey, i just wanted to see waht you were up to. I'll let you get back to your exciting night of TV watching." he said.
"Hey, you're one to talk, Mr. I'm wathcing the pain dry on my wall." Maria said. "Ok, call me." she said.
"i will." Michael promised then hung up the phone. He sighed heavily. He was setting himself up to get his heart ripped out, and he knew it.
Maria bounced out of her room and ran into Tess. "Why are you in such a good mood?" Tess asked.
"I'm not," Maria said wondering what she was talking about.
"Ok, i guess you jsut grin from ear to ear all the time. My bad." tess said sarcastically.
"We watching Laguna tonight?" Maria asked ignoring her.
"Yep, I'll be there." Tess said.

Chapter 13
T-minus 30 minutes until Michael and Kyle got to Hudson, Maria was ecstatic. It had been a long, fucked up week, and she could use a partner to wallow in self-pity with.
There was a knock at the door, "It's open." Liz called from her bed where she was reading. It was Tess. "What up?" Liz asked.
"Nothin'," Tess said with a grin. "So, has Michael called yet?" she asked eagerly, looking at Maria hopefully.
"Yes. He and KYLE will be here soon." Maria said laughing at her friend. "Damn, maybe I should sleep with Kyle that way I can grin like you have been grinning for 2 weeks." She said jokingly.
"Don’t you dare." Tess said shaking a finger in Maria's face. She smiled at Maria. Isabel and Courtney walked into the room a short time later, and plopped down on the bed next to Liz.
"20 minutes. They will be here in 20 minutes. Jeez!" Maria said, knowing that Isabel was going to ask her the same thing Tess had. Since when had she become Isabel's tie to information about Michael anyway?
*********
When the boys got to Hudson, they walked right to Maria's room, knowing that was where everyone would be. When they knocked on the door, Isabel swung it open and attacked both of them. Michael and Kyle laughed at their good friend. High strung, she was.
The rest of the girls joined her in welcoming Michael and Kyle. Maria was last. She wrapped Kyle in a tight hug and rubbed his head messing up his hair. She laughed at his outraged look. "Hey, watch the hair." he said, patting it back down in place. Then he smiled as Maria and lifted her up in the air in a bear hug.
"Ok, pretty boy" Maria said. The she turned to Michael, and before he hand a chance to prepare himself she jumped into his arms knocking both of them on the floor. The whole room burst into laughter, including Michael and Maria.
"Watch out, Michael. Keep smiling and your face will freeze like that," Isabel said. She, never in her life, had seen Michael laugh so hard. It was nice to see him happy, but she had to say, she wasn't thrilled about the REASON he was happy. She knew he had it bad for Maria, and she knew Maria could never be what he needed her to be. But until things got serious, she wasn’t going to say anything. Michael needed to get over Maria on his own.
"Very funny, Iz." Michael said getting off the floor and helping Maria stand up.
"Alright, well Courtney, Tess and I are going to get booze for tonight," Isabel said getting her purse.
"I'll come with you." Kyle said, wanting to be around Tess. Michael rolled his eyes and patted his friend on the back. He and Maria exchanged knowing looks and laughed as they left.
"So I guess it's just you, me, and Liz." Maria said after everyone left. Liz grinned and winked at her.
"Actually, it is just you two. I'm going to go to Radford." Liz said getting her coat. "And I wont be back tonight." she said. Liz was bad. Very bad. Maria liked it. Maria smiled at her roommate. This could be very good.
"Alright. Well, don't do anything that I wouldn't do...which basically leaves you're options open." Maria said with a laugh. Michael chuckled as he sat down on Maria's bed.
When Liz was gone, Maria flopped down next to Michael on the bed and looked at him. “So, how was the drive?” she asked.
“Long. Kyle was driving me nuts, but it was ok.” Michael said with a laugh. Maria rolled her eyes. He was always so descriptive. “How was the week?” Michael asked.
“Sucked. Last weekend I had the worst sex of my life. Then this week I had 3 papers to write, a 2 tests. I’m so ready to chill out and relax.” Maria said with a sigh as she laid back on the bed. Michael laid down next to her. He wasn’t going to lie, hearing Maria talk about having sex with someone shot pain straight through his heart. Even it if was bad, he didn’t want to know that. But he was her friend, so he listened.
“Awww, I’m sorry,” he said sarcastically, as he patted Maria on the head. Yep, sarcasm was the best policy with this one.
“Shut up,” Maria said with a laugh. “So, are we BOTH going to actually get drunk tonight?” she asked.
“Yeah, I could do that,” Michael said. Just then Maria moved her head to rest on his chest. He was caught off guard and took a few slow deep breaths to level out his heartbeat. He was sure that Maria would hear his heart pumping out of his chest. God, if she only knew what she was doing to him. Michael gently ran his fingers through Maria’s hair before he could stop himself. Maria moaned and snuggled closer into him.
“Play with my hair.” Maria said to him as she got comfortable on his chest.
“What?” Michael asked.
“It feels good. Keep playing with my hair.” Maria answered. Michael did as he was told. He loved the feeling of her silky strands between his fingers. The act felt intimate. He knew it wasn’t, but he felt like he was her boyfriend and he was the only one she let touch her this way. He knew that he was wrong. That probably many men had run their fingers through her hair before, but he pushed those thoughts out of his head and paid attention to the feeling of her hairs silky smoothness on his skin.
“Mmmm,” Maria moaned with a smile. Michael nearly moaned with her. He had to think of baseball bats to keep from getting painfully hard, watching her. Her eyes were closed and she was biting her lip, the way she did when she was thinking. How did he know that. Michael realized that he paid more attention to Maria than he had anything else in his life.
After several minutes, Maria opened her eyes and got up. “Wow, you have great hands,” she said. Great hands that she would really like to feel all over her body, she thought to her self with a grin.
“Well, thank you.” Michael said with a grin. He didn’t know what got into him. He was never this charming or sarcastic. It was like he wanted to impress Maria with his humor. He knew the typical good looks and attitude were not going to impress this girl.
***********
When everyone got back, the gang started drinking. “How about a game of Asshole?” Maria said getting out the deck of cards.
“No, you always kick our ass at that game,” Courtney said. “How about ‘Up the River, Down the River’?” she thought.
“No,” Kyle said. “I got ass raped with that one last time.
“Never have I ever.” Tess said. “We should play never have I ever.”
“Yeah, and then we can play spin the bottle and Truth or Dare!” Maria mocked with fake sarcasm. But everyone else seemed excited. Well, Michael didn’t look like he gave a shit. But really, when DID Michael ever look like he cared.
“No, that’s a good idea,” Courtney said taking the cards out of Maria’s hand. “Ok, everyone knows the rules. We will go clockwise, and if you have done what they person says they HAVN’T done. You drink.” She explained.
“Ok, I’ll go first.” Kyle said with a big toothy grin. “Never have I ever, Kissed a guy.” He said, thinking himself so clever. All the girls rolled their eyes and they all took a drink.
“Cheater,” Maria breathed, “Ok, my turn. Never have I ever…hmmm…had sex in my mom’s bed.” She said smiling at Courtney.
“You bitch,” Courtney said taking a drink.
Next was Tess’s turn, “Never have I ever had sex in a car,” she said continuing the theme. Maria and Kyle were the only two to drink. They looked at each other and laughed.
Then it was Michael’s turn. “Ok, Never have I ever had a one night stand,” he said seriously. Maria took a drink of her drink and looked around. No one else drank.
“You guys mean you have NEVER had a one night stand?” she asked incredulously. “EVER?” Everyone shook their heads. “That’s fucking unbelievable.” Maria said, still unable to wrap her mind around the concept. Michael looked at her. He knew she had, had a one night stand. She had all but told him, but to here her say it hurt. He never took sex lightly, and he guessed Maria did.
“Well, it’s me again,” Kyle said.
*******
Three hours later, the gang was pretty drunk. That is everyone but Michael and Maria were drunk. Maria had to drink a lot during that game, but still she was barely tipsy. “Ok, we are going to go upstairs,” Tess said grabbing Kyle by the shirt. He just laughed and followed her up to her room.
“I lluvvv you!” Isabel said to Michael and Maria as she leaned into them both in a drunken hug. Maria laughed.
“I think we better get her upstairs.” She said to Michael. They looked over at Courtney who had already passed out on the floor.
“Yeah, I got her,” Michael said lifting Isabel gently into his arms.
When they got Isabel all settled in her room, Maria turned to Michael, “Staying with me again?” she asked, praying that his answer was ‘yes.’”
Michael smiled at her, “Yeah. Unless my snoring bothers you, princess.” He said.
Maria pushed her door open and Michael followed her in, closing it behind them. Maria flpped down on the bed and removed her shoes. “So…so much for getting drunk, huh?” she said.
“Yeah, oh well.” Michael said. Secretly, he was happy to be able to spend some sober time with Maria. No one else was around. It was just them.
Maria was having the same thoughts. She was glad to get to talk to Michael without the others around. She really liked him. Sure, he had a great body, and she wouldn’t mind fucking him. But she also liked him as a person. The only other guys she felt that way about were Alex and Zan. But Michael was somehow different. There was something about him and the way he made her feel that was different than her friends.
“So, you want a back massage?” Maria asked, “You know, since you gave me that orgasmy head massage today,” she said with a smile.
Michael gulped at the thought. “Ummm, yeah that would be great,” he said.
“K, take off your shirt.”
TBC…
T-minus 30 minutes until Michael and Kyle got to Hudson, Maria was ecstatic. It had been a long, fucked up week, and she could use a partner to wallow in self-pity with.
There was a knock at the door, "It's open." Liz called from her bed where she was reading. It was Tess. "What up?" Liz asked.
"Nothin'," Tess said with a grin. "So, has Michael called yet?" she asked eagerly, looking at Maria hopefully.
"Yes. He and KYLE will be here soon." Maria said laughing at her friend. "Damn, maybe I should sleep with Kyle that way I can grin like you have been grinning for 2 weeks." She said jokingly.
"Don’t you dare." Tess said shaking a finger in Maria's face. She smiled at Maria. Isabel and Courtney walked into the room a short time later, and plopped down on the bed next to Liz.
"20 minutes. They will be here in 20 minutes. Jeez!" Maria said, knowing that Isabel was going to ask her the same thing Tess had. Since when had she become Isabel's tie to information about Michael anyway?

It was nice to see him happy, but she had to say, she wasn't thrilled about the REASON he was happy. She knew he had it bad for Maria, and she knew Maria could never be what he needed her to be. But until things got serious, she wasn’t going to say anything. Michael needed to get over Maria on his own.
"Very funny, Iz." Michael said getting off the floor and helping Maria stand up.
"Alright, well Courtney, Tess and I are going to get booze for tonight," Isabel said getting her purse.
"I'll come with you." Kyle said, wanting to be around Tess. Michael rolled his eyes and patted his friend on the back. He and Maria exchanged knowing looks and laughed as they left.
"So I guess it's just you, me, and Liz." Maria said after everyone left. Liz grinned and winked at her.
"Actually, it is just you two. I'm going to go to Radford." Liz said getting her coat. "And I wont be back tonight." she said. Liz was bad. Very bad. Maria liked it. Maria smiled at her roommate. This could be very good.
"Alright. Well, don't do anything that I wouldn't do...which basically leaves you're options open." Maria said with a laugh. Michael chuckled as he sat down on Maria's bed.
When Liz was gone, Maria flopped down next to Michael on the bed and looked at him. “So, how was the drive?” she asked.
“Long. Kyle was driving me nuts, but it was ok.” Michael said with a laugh. Maria rolled her eyes. He was always so descriptive. “How was the week?” Michael asked.
“Sucked. Last weekend I had the worst sex of my life. Then this week I had 3 papers to write, a 2 tests. I’m so ready to chill out and relax.” Maria said with a sigh as she laid back on the bed. Michael laid down next to her. He wasn’t going to lie, hearing Maria talk about having sex with someone shot pain straight through his heart. Even it if was bad, he didn’t want to know that. But he was her friend, so he listened.
“Awww, I’m sorry,” he said sarcastically, as he patted Maria on the head. Yep, sarcasm was the best policy with this one.
“Shut up,” Maria said with a laugh. “So, are we BOTH going to actually get drunk tonight?” she asked.
“Yeah, I could do that,” Michael said. Just then Maria moved her head to rest on his chest. He was caught off guard and took a few slow deep breaths to level out his heartbeat. He was sure that Maria would hear his heart pumping out of his chest. God, if she only knew what she was doing to him. Michael gently ran his fingers through Maria’s hair before he could stop himself. Maria moaned and snuggled closer into him.
“Play with my hair.” Maria said to him as she got comfortable on his chest.
“What?” Michael asked.
“It feels good. Keep playing with my hair.” Maria answered. Michael did as he was told. He loved the feeling of her silky strands between his fingers. The act felt intimate. He knew it wasn’t, but he felt like he was her boyfriend and he was the only one she let touch her this way. He knew that he was wrong. That probably many men had run their fingers through her hair before, but he pushed those thoughts out of his head and paid attention to the feeling of her hairs silky smoothness on his skin.
“Mmmm,” Maria moaned with a smile. Michael nearly moaned with her. He had to think of baseball bats to keep from getting painfully hard, watching her. Her eyes were closed and she was biting her lip, the way she did when she was thinking. How did he know that. Michael realized that he paid more attention to Maria than he had anything else in his life.
After several minutes, Maria opened her eyes and got up. “Wow, you have great hands,” she said. Great hands that she would really like to feel all over her body, she thought to her self with a grin.
“Well, thank you.” Michael said with a grin. He didn’t know what got into him. He was never this charming or sarcastic. It was like he wanted to impress Maria with his humor. He knew the typical good looks and attitude were not going to impress this girl.
***********
When everyone got back, the gang started drinking. “How about a game of Asshole?” Maria said getting out the deck of cards.
“No, you always kick our ass at that game,” Courtney said. “How about ‘Up the River, Down the River’?” she thought.
“No,” Kyle said. “I got ass raped with that one last time.
“Never have I ever.” Tess said. “We should play never have I ever.”
“Yeah, and then we can play spin the bottle and Truth or Dare!” Maria mocked with fake sarcasm. But everyone else seemed excited. Well, Michael didn’t look like he gave a shit. But really, when DID Michael ever look like he cared.
“No, that’s a good idea,” Courtney said taking the cards out of Maria’s hand. “Ok, everyone knows the rules. We will go clockwise, and if you have done what they person says they HAVN’T done. You drink.” She explained.
“Ok, I’ll go first.” Kyle said with a big toothy grin. “Never have I ever, Kissed a guy.” He said, thinking himself so clever. All the girls rolled their eyes and they all took a drink.
“Cheater,” Maria breathed, “Ok, my turn. Never have I ever…hmmm…had sex in my mom’s bed.” She said smiling at Courtney.
“You bitch,” Courtney said taking a drink.
Next was Tess’s turn, “Never have I ever had sex in a car,” she said continuing the theme. Maria and Kyle were the only two to drink. They looked at each other and laughed.
Then it was Michael’s turn. “Ok, Never have I ever had a one night stand,” he said seriously. Maria took a drink of her drink and looked around. No one else drank.
“You guys mean you have NEVER had a one night stand?” she asked incredulously. “EVER?” Everyone shook their heads. “That’s fucking unbelievable.” Maria said, still unable to wrap her mind around the concept. Michael looked at her. He knew she had, had a one night stand. She had all but told him, but to here her say it hurt. He never took sex lightly, and he guessed Maria did.
“Well, it’s me again,” Kyle said.
*******
Three hours later, the gang was pretty drunk. That is everyone but Michael and Maria were drunk. Maria had to drink a lot during that game, but still she was barely tipsy. “Ok, we are going to go upstairs,” Tess said grabbing Kyle by the shirt. He just laughed and followed her up to her room.
“I lluvvv you!” Isabel said to Michael and Maria as she leaned into them both in a drunken hug. Maria laughed.
“I think we better get her upstairs.” She said to Michael. They looked over at Courtney who had already passed out on the floor.
“Yeah, I got her,” Michael said lifting Isabel gently into his arms.
When they got Isabel all settled in her room, Maria turned to Michael, “Staying with me again?” she asked, praying that his answer was ‘yes.’”
Michael smiled at her, “Yeah. Unless my snoring bothers you, princess.” He said.
Maria pushed her door open and Michael followed her in, closing it behind them. Maria flpped down on the bed and removed her shoes. “So…so much for getting drunk, huh?” she said.
“Yeah, oh well.” Michael said. Secretly, he was happy to be able to spend some sober time with Maria. No one else was around. It was just them.
Maria was having the same thoughts. She was glad to get to talk to Michael without the others around. She really liked him. Sure, he had a great body, and she wouldn’t mind fucking him. But she also liked him as a person. The only other guys she felt that way about were Alex and Zan. But Michael was somehow different. There was something about him and the way he made her feel that was different than her friends.
“So, you want a back massage?” Maria asked, “You know, since you gave me that orgasmy head massage today,” she said with a smile.
Michael gulped at the thought. “Ummm, yeah that would be great,” he said.
“K, take off your shirt.”

Chapter 14
Michael looked at Maria and nodded slowly. He willed his heart to slowdown as he pulled his shirt over his head and threw it on the floor next to the bed. Maria got up and took her clothes off as well, before slipping into some boy shorts and a tee-shirt.
Michael tried had not to look at her as she stood so close to him in just her underwear. He almost succeeded, but he caught a glimpse of her amazing body just as she pulled the shirt down over hear head. There was no way he was going to make it through this message without seriously messing up Maria’s sheets.
Maria didn’t say a word as she straddled Michael’s ass and placed her hands gently on Michael’s warm smooth skin. Slowly she moved her hands up and down just feeling his skin underneath her fingers. Michael nearly moaned as she touched him. “Do you like it rough?” Maria asked him.
Michael coughed, “Ummm, uhhh,” he stuttered, then he realized that she was really asking him about the massage. “Oh, yeah. I do.” He finally got out. Maria giggled at Michael. He was being weird all of a sudden. She shrugged it off and went to work. No way was she going to give up a chance to get rough with Michael. He was so fucking hot and being this close to his naked skin was only causing her to cream her pants.
Maria leaned forward to message Michael’s neck and he felt her heat press into his ass. He did groan that time, but he knew Maria would think it was because of the message and not her closeness. “Does that feel good?” Maria asked as she was already close to his ear. She knew that she was in a highly sexual position. Her, barely clad, spread out on top of Michael, her hands messaging his head as she whispered into his ear. She wondered if she was turning him on as much as he was her.
“Uhhh huh,” Michael breathed. Maria sat up slightly and made her way down Michael’s back, making rough swipes with her hands. She felt his body relax under her. She felt him let go, and she thought it was sexy. How could this man be so open to her? It was amazing. She let her hands roam down his sides and he laughed.
“Ticklish?” Maria asked with an evil grin. Michael turned around slightly to look at her, but not enough that she would see his massive erection.
“Not me,” he lied trying to keep a straight face as her feather light touched continued down his sides. He could hold it in no longer as he burst into laughter.
“Riiight,” Maria said stopping her torture. Michael turned all the way over as he kept his eyes on her. She was so beautiful when she laughed. Her hair was messed up and seeing her only in a tee-shirt was more than he could handle. Maria was now straddling his waist, and they weren’t laughing. They were looking into each other’s eyes.
Slowly, Maria moved in closer to Michael. As she bent over, she felt his erection rub against her. She moaned slightly as she was mere millimeters from Michael’s lips. Before he could stop his body, Michael made the plunge and raised himself to capture Maria’s lips in his.
The feeling of her silky lips against his was more than he could take. It felt so much better than he had imagined. Maria felt sparks the moment their lips met. That was a first. But he was a dynamite kisser, so that was probably what it was.
Michael’s tongue slipped out and caressed Maria’s, and she enthusiastically massaged back. She rubbed herself against Michael’s cock as her hands wound into his hair. “Maria,” Michael breathed as they separated for much needed air. Maria looked into Michael’s shocked eyes and smiled.
“Wow,” she said as her hands gently made their way down to Michael’s chest.
“Uh Huh,” was all Michael could say. Maria leaned into him and gently kissed his neck as her hand roamed further down his body. When she reached the top of his jeans she slipped her hand inside and cupped his hard cock. “No,” Michael said coming back to earth. He removed her hand and shook his head.
“Why not?” Maria asked, the hurt evident on her face.
“Because, I can’t just sleep with you,” Michael said to her.
“It’s not that hard,” Maria said with a laugh. God, she just wanted him so bad. She had never been turned down before. When she wanted sex, Maria got it.
“No, it isn’t that hard. I’m not going to lie. I’d love nothing more than to have sex with you, but then where with that leave me in the morning?” Michael asked seriously.
Maria looked at him like he was crazy. “What are you talking about?” she asked as she ran her hands through Michael’s thick hair.
Michael sighed. She really didn’t get it. He couldn’t just sleep with her because in the morning when he would want her more than he even did now, she would see it as a casual thing. “I just can’t, Maria. Sex is a big deal to me.” He said, hoping that she would leave it alone.
Maria sighed with frustration but nodded. She knew he put sex on a pedestal, but damn she wanted him. When would he learn that sex can sometimes just be sex. But really, who was she kidding. Sex with Michael would never be just sex, not even to her. “Ok, well I guess we better get to sleep anyway. Might be nice not to have to run to brunch tomorrow.” She said as she settled down next to him and laid her head on his chest.
Michael breathed a sigh of relief, thank god she let it go, or he may have slipped up and mentioned the reason he couldn’t have casual sex with her was because he though he was falling for her.
Maria held Michael tightly through the night. She slept deeply and soundly because with Michael around she always felt safe. That wasn’t something she felt often. She didn’t even think twice about why Michael had this effect on her.
******
The next morning, Maria and Michael were actually the first ones up. They were hungry and no one else would budge from their beds, so they went to Brunch alone. When they finally got their food and sat down, Michael sighed and said, “So, I think we should talk about last night.” He said.
Maria’s heart sped up, but she played it cool, “What about it?” she asked taking a bite of her toast.
Michael stared at her intently. “Ummm, the kiss.” He said, wondering how she could be so nonchalant. “What does it mean?” Michael worked up the courage to ask.
Maria put down her food, chewed it, swallowed it, and looked at Michael, “Well, I’m not sure it means anything.” She said, “We kissed.” She answered.
Michael scratched his brow in frustration. “So, that’s it. That’s all it was. You just decided to kiss me, and I kissed back.” He said.
“Well, what do YOU think happened?” Maria threw the question back in his face.
Michael though for a minute. “I think the kiss means something. You don’t just kiss someone, and try to sleep with someone you aren’t attracted to.” He answered a little bit more forcefully than intended.
Maria glared at him, “No one said I wasn’t attracted to you, Michael. It just isn’t in my line of thinking to over analyze every move I make, or to get a full character analysis before kissing someone. I’m sorry I’m not more careful about those I kiss.” She huffed getting frustrated.
Michael sighed in return. This was not going as well as he had hopped, but what did he expect. “Maria, you know that isn’t what I meant. It’s just…” he didn’t know how to explain what he was feeling, “I shouldn’t have kissed you. I like you, but I know that I can never have something real with you,” Michael finally said.
Maria looked at him. She thought about what he said, and then returned to eating. “You’re right. I can’t give you what you need. But that doesn’t mean we cant hang out, right?” Maria asked. She really didn’t want to lose Michael as a friend. That thought frightened her. She didn’t know why but being close to Michael was important to her.
Michael smiled at Maria. “Of Course. I’m always here for you.” Michael said, “Look, we can just forget last night happened, and move on,” he said. He knew he wasn’t going to really move on, but it was better to have Maria as a friend than to drag this very embarrassing night out any longer. He wanted to be her friend if nothing else.
“Ok, good,” Maria said. The two ate in comfortable silence after that. Maria was thinking over what Michael had said. Was she really a man eater like Liz always said? She knew she never settled down. Never committed, but did that make her a bad person? A Leopard cant’ change it’s spots right? Besides, she had slept with many men and broke their hearts in the morning, never did she feel as badly as she did when Michael said that he couldn’t have anything real with her. God, it was all too confusing.
********
The next day, when Michael and Kyle left, Michael promised to call Maria and he kissed her lightly on the cheek. They had spent the night together again, only this time they didn’t kiss, but they talked a lot. They talked about what happened and staying friends. “Drive safe,” Maria whispered to him as she looked him in the eye.
“I will,” Michael said as he pulled himself away from Maria. What he really wanted to do was run back to her and kiss her senseless, but he had made a promise to himself. As much as he thought he was falling for her, he couldn’t just give up his heart to someone who didn’t belive in love.
When Maria walked back to the group, the girls were staring at her. “What?” she asked walking past them and into the building. Tess, Courtney, Liz, and Isabel looked at each other, and then looked at Maria making her way into the building.
“There was something weird about that,” Tess said.
“Ummm, yeah, and I’m about to find out what it was,” Isabel said stalking into the building. Friend or not, she was going to KILL Maria, if she tried something with Michael.

Michael looked at Maria and nodded slowly. He willed his heart to slowdown as he pulled his shirt over his head and threw it on the floor next to the bed. Maria got up and took her clothes off as well, before slipping into some boy shorts and a tee-shirt.

Chapter 15
Isabel banged hard on Maria’s door. “Come in,” Maria said as she sat down on her bed with the newest issue of People Magazine. Isabel swung the door open and plopped down on Liz’s bed.
“What the hell is going on?” she demanded. Maria looked up from her magazine and gave her a questioning look.
“What are you talking about?” she asked, a little aggravated by Isabel’s tone.
“With Michael. What is going on with you and Michael. I saw that goodbye you gave him.” Isabel said crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at her friend.
Maria set down the magazine and turned her full attention to Isabel. “Nothing is going on. Friday night we kissed, but then we realized it was a big mistake and we are over it. I don’t know what you are so upset about anyway. What would you do if there WAS something going on?” Maria asked defiantly.
Isabel scoffed, “Well, I would see that it ended immediately,” she answered like it was the only option.
“I really don’t think you could do anything about it. Michael and I are adults the last time I checked,” Maria said getting increasingly angry.
Isabel stood up and looked down at Maria in an all knowing kind of way, “Look, you chew up men and spit them back out. Michael is my best friend, and the last thing I want is for some chick who can’t settle to break his heart into a million pieces. The woman that is right for him is loyal and steady, waits for love to have sex, takes Michael’s advice and makes him feel better about himself.” Isabel said.
“So, you want Michael to date a far-right Christian homemaker,” Maria countered.
“Well, what is wrong with that. You know, not everyone can be a femi-nazi like you!” Isabel shouted. Maria glared at her. She hated being called that, and she knew that Isabel knew it. She was a feminist, and there was nothing wrong with that, but it wasn’t like she was a man hater.
“Excuse me, Ms. Southern Belle. Ms. All-I-Want-Is-To-Make-My-Loving-Husband-Happy-While-I-Raise-His-Children. I guess I’m the bad guy here. Look, bottom line is, that I didn’t do anything wrong, and if I ever had a relationship with Michael, which seems pretty impossible at this point, I don’t need your permission and neither does he. At some point you are going to have to relized that you are his friend, not his mother.” Maria said ushering Isabel out of the room. She slammed the door in her face and locked it, something she never did.
10 minutes later there was a knock on the door. Maria opened it and said, “What?” before she got a look at who it was. She figured it was Isabel, but it was Tess.
“You wanna talk?” Tess asked. Maria nodded and she and tess sat on her bed together. “So what happened?”
“You mean with me and Michael or with me and Isabel?” she asked, not knowing which her friend was referring to. Damn, it had been one fucked up weekend.
“Both,” Tess said.
“Ok, well Friday night, Michael and I were in my room, I was giving him a back massage. Then we kissed. I thought we were going to have sex, which was what I’ve wanted to do since I laid eyes on him. But he stopped me. He told me that he couldn’t have anything real with me, because I am only capable of having casual sex.” Maria started.
“Ouch,” Tess said looking at Maria sympathetically.
“See, before I came here, I would have just agreed. Sex is casual to me. And while that is still true, when Michael said it, it kinda hurt.” Maria answered. She was still confused. “I mean, I can’t help it that love doesn’t exist, right?”
Tess internally rolled her eyes. When would Maria ever learn, but she was here to be supportive. “Right,” she said.
“So, anyway, we talked about it, and we are going to stay friends, because we are just too good together not to. Last night we talked almost all night and this morning I was just telling him to drive safely and Isabel went off on me.” Maria answered.
“First of all, that was more than just a ‘drive safe’ look you gave Michael when he left. And secondly, Isabel just cares about Michael.” Tess tried to explain.
“Yeha, and that is fine. I mean I’m slightly over protective of my friends Alex and Zan. However, in the end they have to make their own decisions and I have to treat them like adults. I’m not their mother. They already have one of those.” Maria said, “Besides, you are obviously with Kyle, and she doesn’t interfear with that.” She pointed out.
Tess smiled, “You want to know one big difference between You being with Michael and me being with Kyle.” Maria nodded, “I belive in love. I’m looking for someone to share myself with. Kyle is looking for that too, to an extent. Michael is a hopless romantic, much like myself. He wants to find the love of his life. You are not looking for that. You want to have fun, be young, party, but can you be an effective girlfriend like that?” Tess asked.
“Tess, we are 21 YEARS OLD! Why does everything have to be so serious? Why does life have to be so…so…LIFE AND DEATH! My god, we are still kids basically!” Maria exclaimed frustrated. “I can’t help how I feel. I like Michael, and know I cant give him 10 years from now, or 6 months, or even a week. I can give today. That is all anyone has to give. Isn’t that enough?” maria asked.
“For some people that isn’t enough. I know that if I were dating you, it would bother me to my core not knowing if you would wake up and decided you are over being monogamous.” Tess explained. She really wanted Maria to understand where she was coming from.
“Well, I don’t know what to say. That is how I feel. I like Michael, he hurt my feelings when he said that he couldn’t have anything real with me, but I’m not going to just settle down to make some man happy. What I am PISSED about is Isabel. Wha right does she have to tell ME what to do. She wants to play mother, she should drop out of college and get to work as a housewife!” maria said in frustration.
Tess laughed at Maria. Being a Libra, she could understand both sides, and she didn’t know how to get them to meet in the middle. On the one hand, Maria was an adult and she couldn’t help her feelings, on the other hand Isabel cared very deeply about Michael. This sucked.
****************
That night Michael called Maria. “Hey, Michael,” Maria said in a less chipper mood than ususal.
“What’s wrong?” Michael asked getting worried.
“Well, you best friend is being a bitch from hell. By they way, she knows about Friday night.” Maria said as she played with a stray sring from her comforter.
“Oh God, what did she do?” Michael asked. He knew how Isabel could be. She had driven every one of his girlfriends away. The ironic thing was, that he knew Isabel wouldn’t have a prayer of driving Maria away. She was too strong willed for that. No, Maria made up her own mind. Michael loved that about her. He loved lots of things about her.
“Umm, well it appears that you want a housewife, and I’m a homewrecker.” Maria summarized.
“Who said I want a housewife?” Michael asked confused.
“From what I’ve heard that is what you date. And you have obviously had sex with THOSE kind of girls,” Maria bit out. Where was this jealousy coming from?
Michael sighed, he should have seen this coming, “Maria, those kind of girls are all that is around here.” He explained. “Yes, I’ve had sex with girls like that. I thought I was in love, Maria. Don’t you get it, I’ve never actually been in love. I’ve always THOUGHT I was in love. I follow my heart. I’m sorry you can’t understand that, but I do. I realized very recently that they subservient woman was never what I wanted, I was raised to belive that was who I was supposed to be with,” Michael said. He didn’t, however mention that it was meeting Maria that made him open his eyes to new opportunities.
“No, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be upset with you. It isn’t like I havn’t slept with my fair share of assholes. I just HATE girls like that, and it hurts that you would sleep with them, but you don’t want to sleep with me,” Maria couldn’t belive she actually said that to him. She thought it, but Maria rarely ever shared herself that much with anyone.
Michael sighed and tried to hold back his tears. I t was breaking him up inside to know that Maria was beating herself up over the whole situation. “Maria, trust me, I want to sleep with you. But like I said, what I want, and what is best for me are two different things right now. This is just making it harder on me.”
Maria nodded, “I understand. Look, we don’t have to talk about this anymore. But as far as Isabel, after the way she talked to me today, it’s going to be quite some time before we are cool again.” Maria said.
“I know how she can be, trust me. There have been times when I have just wanted to tell her to fuck off, but in the end she means well.” Michael said.
“I know. But anyway, how was the trip home?” Maria asked.
***************
Maria had spent the next 5 days, studying and thinking. She didn’t talk to Isabel anymore. She was afraid that she would smack the shit out of her if she did. She didn’t talk to Courtney either. When Isabel talked to Courtney, it was decided by both of them that Maria was a bitch. Whatever.
Tess, Liz, and Maria were starting to spend more time with Katie and Kayle. Maria relized that she had a lot in commone with those two. Both very sexual beings, they understood where Maria was coming from about sex, and while they believed in love, they didn’t belive love was nessesary in having sex.
But most of the time, Maria was lost in her thoughts. She couldn’t get one thing o ut of her head. The longer she was away from Michael the worse she felt. She couldn’t explain it. She had never felt like that with Alex or Zan, or even her boyfriends.
She kept going over what Michael told her in her head, ‘we can’t ever have something real.’ The more she thought about it, the more it disturbed her. Why couldn’t they have somthign real. She wasn’t emotionally retarded. She wished people would stop talking to her like she was. So she did’t believe in story book, knight in shinning armour, LOVE. That didn’t mean she was destined to be alone. Or did it?
She needed some perspective. She picked up her cell phone and dialed Alex and Zan.
TBC…
Isabel banged hard on Maria’s door. “Come in,” Maria said as she sat down on her bed with the newest issue of People Magazine. Isabel swung the door open and plopped down on Liz’s bed.
“What the hell is going on?” she demanded. Maria looked up from her magazine and gave her a questioning look.
“What are you talking about?” she asked, a little aggravated by Isabel’s tone.
“With Michael. What is going on with you and Michael. I saw that goodbye you gave him.” Isabel said crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at her friend.
Maria set down the magazine and turned her full attention to Isabel. “Nothing is going on. Friday night we kissed, but then we realized it was a big mistake and we are over it. I don’t know what you are so upset about anyway. What would you do if there WAS something going on?” Maria asked defiantly.
Isabel scoffed, “Well, I would see that it ended immediately,” she answered like it was the only option.
“I really don’t think you could do anything about it. Michael and I are adults the last time I checked,” Maria said getting increasingly angry.
Isabel stood up and looked down at Maria in an all knowing kind of way, “Look, you chew up men and spit them back out. Michael is my best friend, and the last thing I want is for some chick who can’t settle to break his heart into a million pieces. The woman that is right for him is loyal and steady, waits for love to have sex, takes Michael’s advice and makes him feel better about himself.” Isabel said.
“So, you want Michael to date a far-right Christian homemaker,” Maria countered.
“Well, what is wrong with that. You know, not everyone can be a femi-nazi like you!” Isabel shouted. Maria glared at her. She hated being called that, and she knew that Isabel knew it. She was a feminist, and there was nothing wrong with that, but it wasn’t like she was a man hater.
“Excuse me, Ms. Southern Belle. Ms. All-I-Want-Is-To-Make-My-Loving-Husband-Happy-While-I-Raise-His-Children. I guess I’m the bad guy here. Look, bottom line is, that I didn’t do anything wrong, and if I ever had a relationship with Michael, which seems pretty impossible at this point, I don’t need your permission and neither does he. At some point you are going to have to relized that you are his friend, not his mother.” Maria said ushering Isabel out of the room. She slammed the door in her face and locked it, something she never did.
10 minutes later there was a knock on the door. Maria opened it and said, “What?” before she got a look at who it was. She figured it was Isabel, but it was Tess.
“You wanna talk?” Tess asked. Maria nodded and she and tess sat on her bed together. “So what happened?”
“You mean with me and Michael or with me and Isabel?” she asked, not knowing which her friend was referring to. Damn, it had been one fucked up weekend.
“Both,” Tess said.
“Ok, well Friday night, Michael and I were in my room, I was giving him a back massage. Then we kissed. I thought we were going to have sex, which was what I’ve wanted to do since I laid eyes on him. But he stopped me. He told me that he couldn’t have anything real with me, because I am only capable of having casual sex.” Maria started.
“Ouch,” Tess said looking at Maria sympathetically.
“See, before I came here, I would have just agreed. Sex is casual to me. And while that is still true, when Michael said it, it kinda hurt.” Maria answered. She was still confused. “I mean, I can’t help it that love doesn’t exist, right?”
Tess internally rolled her eyes. When would Maria ever learn, but she was here to be supportive. “Right,” she said.
“So, anyway, we talked about it, and we are going to stay friends, because we are just too good together not to. Last night we talked almost all night and this morning I was just telling him to drive safely and Isabel went off on me.” Maria answered.
“First of all, that was more than just a ‘drive safe’ look you gave Michael when he left. And secondly, Isabel just cares about Michael.” Tess tried to explain.
“Yeha, and that is fine. I mean I’m slightly over protective of my friends Alex and Zan. However, in the end they have to make their own decisions and I have to treat them like adults. I’m not their mother. They already have one of those.” Maria said, “Besides, you are obviously with Kyle, and she doesn’t interfear with that.” She pointed out.
Tess smiled, “You want to know one big difference between You being with Michael and me being with Kyle.” Maria nodded, “I belive in love. I’m looking for someone to share myself with. Kyle is looking for that too, to an extent. Michael is a hopless romantic, much like myself. He wants to find the love of his life. You are not looking for that. You want to have fun, be young, party, but can you be an effective girlfriend like that?” Tess asked.
“Tess, we are 21 YEARS OLD! Why does everything have to be so serious? Why does life have to be so…so…LIFE AND DEATH!

Chapter 16
“Yo,” Zan answered the phone after about 15 rings.
“Jeez, what were you two doing? Jerking off together?” Maria asked with a laugh.
Zan laughed to, “Yep, you caught us. Alex and I have been partaking in some mutual masturbation,” he said. Maria heard Alex yell something in the background and laughed.
“Ok, well speakerphone me, I’m having a little bit of a crises,” Maria said.
“Hey, ‘Ria,” Alex said.
“So what is this crisis?” Zan asked, ready to be of service.
“Alright,” Maria started, “So you know that hot guy I was telling you about, Michael?”
“Yeah, the southern boy,” Alex said sitting down next to Zan in front of the phone.
“Yeah, well, he is awesome. We became fast friends, and lasts Friday, one thing led to another and we kissed. I was getting ready to fuck him like he has never been fucked before, but he stopped me, saying that he can’t have casual sex. That I’m only capable of that, and so he could never have anything real with me. The next day we decided to stay friends, and he has told me more than once that he WANTS to sleep with me, but that he can’t because I’m not good for him,” Maria summed up quickly. Zan and Alex didn’t need details, they were pros at helping her figure out her life.
Alex and Zan looked at each other. Were they really having this conversation with Maria DeLuca. The Maria they knew would not lose sleep over some guy who wouldn’t have sex with her, though to tell the truth, there hadn’t actually been men who refused Maria.
“So, let me put this through the Maria-filter really quick,” Alex said. “You like this guy, Michael, and when he told you that he wanted you, but couldn’t have you because of your tendency to run from commitment, you got your feelings hurt,” he summed up.
Maria sighed in frustration, “Partially, yes. But it’s more than that.” Maria said. “Yes, it hurt my feelings. And no, I’m not used to being turned down. But I don’t know why I even care. I mean I could go out and find a hundred other guys more than willing to hop in the sack with me. I mean I’m a good looking woman,” Maria huffed.
Zan and Alex laughed, “That is true,” Zan said, “But this is what I think the real issue is. You like Michael more than you want to admit. I think that you are scared of proving to him that you can be faithful because that would mean that you would have to admit that everyone around you was right. IT would also mean that you would have to put more effort out. You would have to share yourself with someone. More than just what you like to do, what you hate, how your family is. I mean, you would have to really show yourself to that person, and that scares the shit out of you,” Zan said, smiling at himself. He knew he had hit the nail right on the head.
Alex winked at him as her heard Maria huff on the phone, “Well, even if that is true, it isn’t like I can prove it to him anyway. He thinks I’m just this heartless bitch.” Maria said with a dramatic sigh.
“I’m sure that is not what he thinks, Maria,” Alex said, “But you have to give the guy a break. Have you once shown him that you can be a reliable girlfriend?” Alex asked.
“E Tu Alex?” Maria asked with a fake British accent. “Why am I the fucking anti-christ!!!” she moaned.
“Over dramatic much?” Zan asked with a laugh. “Look, you sound down. Alex and I have about 4 days off, what if we flew out to see you.” Zan said.
Maria literally shrieked. “Oh My God! Are you serious? I could really use you guys right now. Michael is only half the issue I’m dealing with! OMG OMG Please Please come see me!!!” Maria begged.
Alex and Zan laughed. “Alright. Let us get off the phone. We well schedule a flight and be out there tomorrow night,” Alex said. It was so nice to make Maria happy. Hearing the cheer in her voice, and knowing he put it there was like nothing in the world.
“Ok, call me when you are getting in,” Maria said as she hung up. Thank God her friends were coming out to see her. She needed them, and maybe they could help her understand her feelings better. Who would have thought Maria was losing her shit over a guy?
*********
Maria was waiting for Zan and Alex to call her the next night. They were could to call when they got to her dorm so that she could let them in. They were renting a car because Maria didn’t have one.
She nearly jumped out of her skin when her cell phone rang. “Hello?” she said.
“We are here. Let us in!” Alex said into the phone. Maria sprinted out of her room, nearly knocking over Tess on the way down the stairs. Tess just looked at her and laughed. Alex and Zan must be here.
When Maria opened the back door to her dorm, she saw Zan and Alex standing there, handsom as ever waiting for her. “Oh My God!” she screamed as she ran to both of them. Zan easily picked her up in his arms as Alex hugged her from behind.
“Ok, so lets get up those 100 flights of stairs an talk about this Michael situation,” Alex said. Maria nodded and lead them inside and up the stairs to her room.
“Ok, well, what else can I say about Michael,” Maria said flopping down on her bed. Alex and Zan sat on either side of her. “I want him. I like him, and he thinks I’m a slut.” Maria said hopelessly.
“Again, I highly doubt he thinks you are a slut, and if he does, you aren’t aloud to care. Because it means he is a misogynistic asshole.” Alex said. Maria smiled at him. She had molded him in to a little feminist after all. She silently patted herself on the back.
“Well, whatever. We can never have something real,” according to him.
“Then you have to prove that you can,” Zan said, “Maria, if you want him enough to be pining over him for longer than 10 minutes, this guys must be pretty special to you.”
“But I can’t prove what I don’t know. I don’t know what is going to happen a month or even a week from now. I just want to be with him. You know, no obligations, no expectations.” Maria reasoned. It made sense to her. Why didn’t in make sense to anyone else?
“That’s not how relationships work, Maria. That is how fuck buddies work. That is how frat boys work. If you want to be with Michael, it looks like you are going to have to give up some things in return. One of those things is your fucking pride.” Alex said.
Maria laid back on the bed. She thought about what her friends were saying. It was true. She knew it. She didn’t want to admit that she actually wanted one guy. That one guy made her head spin like nothing else had ever done. That she thought about this one guy all the time. It almost hurt her to admit it, but it was true. “Well, still, he has made up his mind. I can’t do anything about it,” Maria said defeated.
Alex and Zan looked at each other and smiled. “You can change it. Right now, you can go to him and change it. If there is one thing everyone knows about you, its that you are honest. If you say something, it is true and important to you,” Zan said. “All you have to do is go to him. Tell him what you want, and what you are willing to do for it.”
“First of all, he is in Tennessee, 3 hours away. And secondly, I don’t even know what I’m willing to do to be with Michael,” Maria said looking to her friends.
“Well, we’ve got a car and a full tank of gas. So, that isn’t a problem. What you are willing to give up is up to you. But we’ve got three hours for you to figure it out.” Alex said.
“But I mean…I can’t…You…I mean…Are you serious?” Maria asked so confused. “We don’t even know where he lives.” Maria said.
“Don’t worry about that, we’ve already got it under control.” Zan said. “Your friend Tess happens to be a wealth of knowledge, and she just seemed to want to share it with us.” Zan said with a laugh.
“I feel so deceived,” Maria said faking outrage. “Fine, let’s go,” she said picking up a notebook and a pen on her way out. Oh God, what the hell was she about to do?

Chapter 17
As Maria, Zan, and Alex pulled into Michael and Isabel’s town, Maria began biting her lip. This was going to suck up one side and down the other. What if he didn’t believe her? What if he turned her down? Zan looked back at her from the passenger seat.
“Maria, chill out. You are freaking.” He said placing a comforting hand on her knee.
“If this doesn’t work I expect the sex of my life from both of you,” Maria said seriously.
Alex and Zan both laughed, “Deal,” Zan said, “But maybe leave that out of your speech to Michael.” Maria smiled at her friend. She knew at that point, no sex would be good if Michael turned her down.
Slowly, they pulled into a driveway that Maria assumed was Michaels. She took a deep breath. His car was in the driveway, so there was no getting out of this. It was now or never. She got out of the car and looked back at Alex and Zan. “You coming?” she asked.
“Nope,” Alex answered. “This is all you,” he said with a wink. “Go get him.” Maria shot him a dirty look but turned around and headed for the door. She stood in front of it for about 2 minutes before finally raising her hand to knock on the door. She prayed that Michael’s mom wasn’t home. If she was, Maria was about to make an ass out of herself for 2 people.
A couple minutes later, Michael came to the door clad in only a pair of jeans. He did a double take when he saw her. “Ummm, Maria…what?...Is something wrong?” he asked looking at her nervous expression.
Maria shook her head. “No, ummm can I talk to you?” she asked. Michael nodded and moved out of the way. He was still in shock that she was at his house. How did she get there? How did she know where he lived? He led her into the house and sat down on the couch, motioning for her to sit next to him.
“My mom is out of town. So, what is up? Are you ok?” Michael asked, hopping nothing happened to her.
Maria took another deep breath. She knew she was freeking Michael out, but she needed to get a control on her emotions. “No, I’m fine. Well, not really fine, but I need to talk to you.” She said pulling out the slip of paper she had written notes on. She looked back up at Michael. “My friends from home drove me here to talk to you because I fucked up.” She said.
“What do you mean, you fucked up?” Michael asked. Maria was confusing the hell out of him.
“You know that night we kissed?” Maria asked. Michael nodded. How could he forget that night? It was the best and worse night of his young life. “You said that I could only have casual sex, and the next morning you said we could never have anything real.” Maria said looking up at him again. “I didn’t tell you, but that really hurt me.” She admitted. Michael was shocked. He was under the impression she agreed with him. It wasn’t like she had real feelings for him anyway.
“Maria, I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he said, feeling bad.
“No. It’s not your fault. You were right, kind of.” Maria said. “The thing is: any other guy, I wouldn’t care about. You know? I would just be like, fine. I’ll get laid elsewhere.” Maria said. Michael processed what she was saying. He was getting used to her rambling nature. “But when you said it, it hurt. I didn’t want it to be true. I didn’t know it then, but I wanted you to feel like you could have something real with me.”
“Maria…” Michael started, but Maria sushed him.
“No, can I just get this out? I made notes.” Maria said holding up the paper. “Let me get this all out, then you can talk,” she said.
Michael smirked at her and nodded for her to continue. “So, I did some thinking,” Maria went on. “I thought about why what you said bothered me and this is what I’ve come up with. You are the only person in the world that I want to have something with…something more than casual sex. I can’t promise you love or anything like that, because I don’t know if I believe in it still. But I’m willing to try,” Maria said, her voice shaking with emotion.
She stopped and relaxed a little to try to collect herself. Michael sat there looking at her in shock. He had either died and gone to heaven or this was one real dream. Maria looked down at her paper and started to read. “If you would give me a chance to prove myself I would love to start something with you. I can’t promise you the world or my undying love, but this is what I can promise you. I can promise to be faithful to you until the relationship runs it’s course. I can promise to open myself up to you at my own pace,” she continued reading. “I can promise you that my relationship with you won’t revolve around sex. And I can promise that I will always tell you the truth,” she read and then looked back up to see Michael’s reaction.
Michael was in awe. This was real. The woman of his dreams was at his house, telling him what he was willing to give up for him. He didn’t even know that she liked him. She knew she was attracted to him, and that she wanted to sleep with him. But for Maria DeLuca to drive 3 hours to tell a guy that she wanted him and was willing to sacrifice to have a relationship with him, it was overwhelming.
“Ok, you can talk now,” Maria said nervously looking just past Michael. She didn’t think she could look at him when he rejected her, like she knew he would.
Michael waited just seconds before saying, “Maria, I don’t know what to say.”
“I understand. I mean it was a long shot.” Maria said ready to get up off the couch, but Michael pulled her back down.
”No, that isn’t what I meant. I mean, you are the girl of my dreams. You are smart, funny, strong willed, independent, so stubborn it’s cute, and you actually want to be with me. I’m just not used to this.” Michael said, “But I do believe you. There is no way you would go to all this trouble just to get laid.” Michael said with a smile. “Not like you would need to,” he added.
Maria’s features softened, “Is that for real?” she asked.
“Are you kidding. I’ve wanted you since the moment I met you.” Michael said. Maria smiled. Wow, that was easier than she thought, but she didn’t know what to do now. She didn’t do relationships, and she didn’t have the first idea how to handle this one.
“You have to be patient with me,” Maria said. “I don’t do this. But I want to try.” She said quietly. Michael didn’t answer, he just leaned into her and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. It was something he had wanted to do ever since they kissed that night. Maria leaned in closer to Michael and wound her hands around his neck, pulling him closer into him. “Mmmm,” she moaned as she felt his tongue slip into her mouth.
Michael ran his hands up and down Maria’s back as he deepened their kiss. He was in heaven. Maria felt so good in his arms, and he knew that once they stopped kissing, he wouldn’t have to let her go.
Maria pulled back from Michael and looked at Michael. She smiled. “Wow,” she said still dazed from the kiss. Then she remembered Zan and Alex in the car. “Oh shit,” she said.
“What, what’s wrong?” Michael asked.
“My friends are in the car outside.” Maria explained. “Would you like to meet them?” she asked.
Michael really just wanted to keep kissing Maria, but he realized that it was rude to make her friends wait outside. Besides, it would be nice to meet someone from Maria’s past. People who truly knew her. “Yeah,” he said getting up off the couch. He grabbed Maria’s hand in his and she smiled at him. He was so adorable.
On the porch, Maria waved for Alex and Zan to come inside. They smiled at each other. Things must have gone well inside. “Looks like we aren’t getting laid tonight,” Zan said with a laugh as they got out of the car.
“Yeah, but Maria is getting a chance to prove herself, so it’s all good,” Alex said. Zan nodded his agreement and they made their way up to the house, getting their first look at this Michael guy. He was pretty good looking for a guy. Tall, big…Maria’s type, but he was a lot different than most of the guys she went out with. First of all, he looked at her like she was a goddess. Most guys looked at Maria like she was a hot piece of ass, but Michael looked at her like she was his world.
“Michael, This is Zan and Alex. Guys, this is Michael,” Maria said with a smile. She couldn’t keep the smile off her face now matter how hard she tried, and Alex and Zan noticed.
Inside, they all sat down and started talking. Michael was a little leery of Alex and Zan at first, and he had to admit that it was weird sitting with two guys that he knew had already had sex with his new girlfriend. But he found he really liked them, and they absolutely adored Maria, so he couldn’t as for more.
In turn, Zan and Alex liked Michael, though they were very surprised that Maria had fallen for such a mild mannered guy. No arrests, no rock bands, nothing like that. And he really cared about Maria, so they were happy.
“Why don’t you guys stay here tonight? No one is home, and it’s too late for you to drive back now.” Michael said.
Maria looked at Zan and Alex. It was up to them. “Yeah, we can do that,” Zan said, knowing that Maria was dying to stay.
Maria smiled about 10 miles wide. “Awesome,” she said turning back to Michael. “I’m actually kind of tired. Baring my soul is a little tiring.” She joked.
Michael laughed, “Ok, you wanna say in my room?” he asked kind of blushing. He shouldn’t be awkward. They had slept in the same bed before.
“That’s cool,” Maria played off.
“Ok, and Zan you can stay in my mom’s room. Alex, you can stay in the guest room.” Michael directed. After he got them settled he took Maria to his room. “This is my room,” he said moving the clothes off the bed.
Maria looked around and laughed to herself. It was so clean. Not really what she expected, and it was pretty bare. “Not much for decorating?” she said with a laugh.
Michael rolled his eyes at her. “Well we can’t all have pictured of half-naked men wallpapering our walls. Or Pink sheets and hippy tapestries,” Michael said grinning at Maria.
Maria pushed him playfully. “Are you saying you don’t like my room?” she asked, jokingly.
“No. I like it. It’s just that I think that if my room looked like yours my mom would start to worry,” Michael said, chuckling. “Common, lets get to bed.” He said.
Maria pulled Michael back to her and slammed her lips into his. Michael easily picked her up in his arms and kissed her back. Maria’s tongue darted out to lick Michael’s lips. He eagerly opened his mouth and let her message his tongue with hers.
“Mmm, I just wanted to kiss you again,” Maria said as she looked into Michael’s eyes. Michael still held her in his arms, her legs wrapped around his waist.
“I’m not complaining,” Michael said with his signature grin. He let Maria down and she wiggled out of her pants. “Can I get a shirt to sleep in?” Maria asked. Michael looked at her for a minute, her long slender legs throwing him off, and then nodded retrieving one of his white undershirts.
Maria slipped out of her shirt and into the new one. Michael was amazed at how comfortable she was with changing in front of him. Most girls made a huge deal about it. Not Maria. He took off his pants and shirt and slipped into bed and moved over allowing Maria to move in next to him.
Maria snuggled into closely to Michael’s chest and breathed in his scent. She loved the way he smelled. She smiled, knowing that things between them were different, and she was okay with that.
Michael smiled as he looked down at Maria. Her hair was splayed out on his chest and he couldn’t think of a more beautiful site. Wow. Things had really taken a turn today. He didn’t know what was going to happen between him and Maria, but one thing he did know was that if Maria had the guts to come all the way to his house and ask him for a chance, the least he could do was take a chance and see if he could have what he really wanted with Maria.

Chapter 18
The next morning, Michael woke up and slowly opened his eyes. He smiled when he looked down and saw Maria asleep, still clinging to him, and biting her lip in concentration. She must be having some dream. He watched her like that for nearly an hour, before she to woke up and looked at him. She smiled and said, “Morning,” before loosening her grip on him.
“Morning,” Michael said bringing her face closer to his. He kissed her gently on the lips. He could make a living out of kissing her. He didn’t think it would ever get old, feeling her lips pressed against his own. He slipped his tongue in her mouth and leaned back as she straddled his waist.
“Mmmm,” she moaned as she broke the kiss. “I think we better get out of this bed or I’m going to have to take advantage of you,” Maria said. She wanted to fuck Michael so bad, but she knew that he was going to need a little more time from her. It sucked, but she was willing to wait as long as she didn’t have to wait forever.
Michael nodded and slipped out of bed with Maria, “You think your friends are up yet?” he asked as they walked into the kitchen. Before she could answer him, they saw Zan and Alex sitting on Michael’s couch watching TV. “I guess they are,” Michael said with a laugh.
“Hey, ‘Ria. Morning, Michael,” Alex and Zan said.
Maria turned to Michael, “I guess we better get going.” She said, “I’ve got some homework and I’m gonna spend some time with these fuckers,” she said with a laugh as she pointed to Alex and Zan.
Michael nodded. He didn’t want her to go, but he knew she had to. Her friends were in town, and they lived so far away. He could see her next weekend. “Ok,” he said,
“Are you going to come to Hudson next weekend?” Maria asked as she pulled on her shoes.
“Of Course,” Michael said. Wild Horses couldn’t keep him away from her now.
“Shit,” Maria exclaimed, “Isabel. What am I going to tell Isabel?” She asked almost to herself.
Zan and Alex tried to make themselves invisible as Michael sat down next to her. “Well, hmmm,” he said having not thought of that, “We can just tell her the truth. I mean, we are adults, and she isn’t our mother. She will get over it,” Michael promised.
Maria rolled her eyes, “Yeah, I bet. Look, I don’t want to push you away from her, but I can’t hang out with her anymore. She makes me want to punch her in the face. So, maybe…” Maria started trying to think of a better solution.
“Maria, It’s fine. We will figure it out I’ll come over there Friday afternoon, and we will see what happens. I bet she will just ignore you, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.” Michael said.
“Fine,” Maria said smiling. “You are a hell of a lot of trouble, you know that?” she said before kissing him on the lips.
“You like it,” Michael joked. HE got up and walked Maria, Alex, and Zan to the door. “You guys drive safe,” he said. Alex and Zan said their goodbyes and went out to the car to give Maria and Michael some privacy.
Maria turned back to Michael, “I’ll call you when I get back to school,” she said.
“Ok,” Michael said wrapping his arms around her. “I’m so glad you came to see me,” he said with a smile as he kissed her neck.
“Mmmm. Me too,” Maria said as she hugged him tightly.
“BE careful, baby,” Michael said kissing her once more before watching her walk to the car. He shut the door and turned around to lean against it. Wow. He was living the American Dream. He almost thought he should pinch himself to make sure it was real.
********
In the car, Maria told her friends about the conversation she had. “That’s awesome, Maria.” Zan said, keeping his eyes on the road, “Just make sure, that you aren’t the only one giving,” he said. Maria nodded. She knew that, Michael was going to have to give a little as well, and so far he was doing a good job.
“So, did you get laid?” Alex asked with grin.
Maria sighed, “No.” she said disappointedly, but she hadn’t really expected to, so it was ok. “This one might be a tough cookie to crack.” She said, “But I think since he knows how much I enjoy sex, when he sees I’m serious he will break,” Maria said with a laugh.
Soon they were back at Maria’s school. She walked them back up to the room and they ran into Tess on the way back, “So how did it go?” she asked excitedly. She couldn’t wait to hear what happened. She damn near fell out of the chair when Zan called her to ask for Michael’s address. Finally, Maria had admitted that she had feelings for someone, hell must have frozen over.
Maria laughed at her. “It was fine,” she said walking past her blonde friend.
“Oh! That is not an answer,” Tess said. Alex and Zan laughed at her. She was adorable, and very excitable.
Maria rolled her eyes, “Fine, come up to my room, and I’ll give you the short version.” Maria said. Tess followed them up the stairs and into Maria’s room. Zan and Alex sat on Liz’s bed and listened while Maria told Tess the abridged version of what happened in Tennessee.
“OH MY GOD!” Tess said jumping into Maria’s arms. Zan and Alex looked at each other as Maria laughed. She had never been a touchy feely friend, but it seemed that a few months with the girls, she could actually act like one. “This is so great. So, Kyle and Michael can come together all the time,” she said excitedly.
“Well, Michael can only come when he gets paid.” Maria explained, “But it isn’t that big a deal. The big deal is going to come when Isabel finds out. I don’t really care what she thinks, but I’m pretty sure she is going to flip her shit.” Maria said.
Tess nodded. Yeah, Isabel and Courtney had been talking shit about Maria ever since last weekend. It was bad. Tess admired Maria for the way she was taking it. If someone had yelled at her the way Isabel had Maria, she would probably cry, but Maria stood her ground and showed her stubborn side. Tess wished she could be like that.
“Wanna grab some dinner?” Maria asked the boys.
“Yeah, it will be nice to see the girls,” Alex said arching his eye brow. Maria rolled her eyes at him and they got up to go to dinner.
When they got to the cafeteria, Katie and Kaley were already there. Maria set her stuff down next to them and introduced Zan and Alex. Katie and Kaley looked the guys up and down. They defiantly looked good. Katie liked the dark haired guy with the lip ring. He defiantly looked like he knew how to have a good time. Kaley preferred the tall dorky looking one. Just her type.
After they got their food, as they were walking back to the table, Alex noticed all the girls staring at them. “Do I have something in my teeth?” he asked Maria.
“No, you’ve got something between your legs,” Maria said with a laugh.
“You are a guy, so the girls will stare at you,” Tess explained, sitting down. “Some girls don’t know how to act around guys.” Alex and Zan nodded as they sat down next to Katie and Kaley.
When Maria sat down Katie pointed to the entrance of Moody. “Look who it is,” she said, “Our favorite person,” rolling her eyes.
Maria followed to where she was pointing. Isabel and Courtney had just walked in. She rolled her eyes, “Goody goody,” she said sarcastically.
“Which one is Isabel?” Zan asked, knowing who the girls were referring to.
“The one that looks like a supermodel,” Kaley said as she bit into her salad.
Alex didn’t say anything. He just looked at Isabel as she walked into the food line. She was gorgeous. A raving bitch apparently, but beautiful. Whew, he wished Maria and Isabel were on good terms, because he would most defiantly like to meet her.
“Alex,” Maria yelled, breaking him out of his inner monologue.
“What?” he asked looking back at her. Maria turned to see what Alex had been staring at.
“Traitor,” she said good naturedly, as she kicked him under the table. Tess and Zan grinned, as they knew what she was talking about. Katie and Kaley seemed to be oblivious, but shrugged and kept eating.
*********
That night, Maria, Katie, Kaley, Tess, Alex, and Zan hung out in Tess’s room. “Do we have any pot?” a drunk Katie asked looking around the room.
“I think I’ve got some,” Maria said looking in her purse.
“I’ve got some,” Tess said pulling it out, along with her pipe. Alex and Zan looked at the girls. They knew Maria smoked pot occasionally, but they hadn’t figured girls like Katie, Kaley, and Tess smoked up. Tess noticed their looks, “Common guy…it’s a small all girls college, what you think we do to have a good time?” she said rolling her eyes.
They laughed and nodded. Two hours later, they were all stoned. “Dude, do you remember that time the three of us went out to the desert and climbed that cliff. We were s stoned,” Maria said to her friends.
“Yeah, that was fucking nuts.” Zan said.
As the weed kicked in more and more, Maria began to get tired. She knew her friends from college liked her friends from Roswell, so she was just going to let them have their fun. They deserved to get laid, even if she wasn’t. “Well, I’m going to go to bed,” Maria said, “I’ll leave my door unlocked,” she said with a wink. She knew they wouldn’t be back that night.
*********
The next day, it was time to say goodbye to Alex and Zan. Maria cried when she walked them to their rental car. “I love you guys,” she said wiping her tears and hugging them each tightly.
“We will be back soon,” Alex promised.
“Yeah, we will come out again in a month or so.” Zan said.
“Ok, well I’ll call you guys.” Maria said, “Be good, and study hard,” she said with a chuckle.
“You too, babe,” Alex said kissing her cheek.
“I’m proud of you,” Zan said kissing her other cheek.
“Oh shut up,” Maria said rolling her eyes. They laughed at her, got in the car and drove off. She sniffled watching them leave. She wished they could stay longer, but it was pretty good that she would have enough time to so her homework.
That night, after she finished her homework, when she went to bed, she thought about Michael. She couldn’t wait until he got there on Friday. Sure, it was only Sunday, but she still couldn’t wait. He and Kyle were coming up, and she wasn’t even going to think about Isabel until then. That was something she could deal with later. She resigned herself to have a good week, and that was just what she was going to do.
TBC…
The next morning, Michael woke up and slowly opened his eyes. He smiled when he looked down and saw Maria asleep, still clinging to him, and biting her lip in concentration. She must be having some dream. He watched her like that for nearly an hour, before she to woke up and looked at him. She smiled and said, “Morning,” before loosening her grip on him.
“Morning,” Michael said bringing her face closer to his. He kissed her gently on the lips. He could make a living out of kissing her. He didn’t think it would ever get old, feeling her lips pressed against his own. He slipped his tongue in her mouth and leaned back as she straddled his waist.
“Mmmm,” she moaned as she broke the kiss. “I think we better get out of this bed or I’m going to have to take advantage of you,” Maria said. She wanted to fuck Michael so bad, but she knew that he was going to need a little more time from her. It sucked, but she was willing to wait as long as she didn’t have to wait forever.
Michael nodded and slipped out of bed with Maria, “You think your friends are up yet?” he asked as they walked into the kitchen. Before she could answer him, they saw Zan and Alex sitting on Michael’s couch watching TV. “I guess they are,” Michael said with a laugh.
“Hey, ‘Ria. Morning, Michael,” Alex and Zan said.
Maria turned to Michael, “I guess we better get going.” She said, “I’ve got some homework and I’m gonna spend some time with these fuckers,” she said with a laugh as she pointed to Alex and Zan.
Michael nodded. He didn’t want her to go, but he knew she had to. Her friends were in town, and they lived so far away. He could see her next weekend. “Ok,” he said,
“Are you going to come to Hudson next weekend?” Maria asked as she pulled on her shoes.
“Of Course,” Michael said. Wild Horses couldn’t keep him away from her now.
“Shit,” Maria exclaimed, “Isabel. What am I going to tell Isabel?” She asked almost to herself.
Zan and Alex tried to make themselves invisible as Michael sat down next to her. “Well, hmmm,” he said having not thought of that, “We can just tell her the truth. I mean, we are adults, and she isn’t our mother. She will get over it,” Michael promised.
Maria rolled her eyes, “Yeah, I bet. Look, I don’t want to push you away from her, but I can’t hang out with her anymore. She makes me want to punch her in the face. So, maybe…” Maria started trying to think of a better solution.
“Maria, It’s fine. We will figure it out I’ll come over there Friday afternoon, and we will see what happens. I bet she will just ignore you, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.” Michael said.
“Fine,” Maria said smiling. “You are a hell of a lot of trouble, you know that?” she said before kissing him on the lips.
“You like it,” Michael joked. HE got up and walked Maria, Alex, and Zan to the door. “You guys drive safe,” he said. Alex and Zan said their goodbyes and went out to the car to give Maria and Michael some privacy.
Maria turned back to Michael, “I’ll call you when I get back to school,” she said.
“Ok,” Michael said wrapping his arms around her. “I’m so glad you came to see me,” he said with a smile as he kissed her neck.
“Mmmm. Me too,” Maria said as she hugged him tightly.
“BE careful, baby,” Michael said kissing her once more before watching her walk to the car. He shut the door and turned around to lean against it. Wow. He was living the American Dream. He almost thought he should pinch himself to make sure it was real.
********
In the car, Maria told her friends about the conversation she had. “That’s awesome, Maria.” Zan said, keeping his eyes on the road, “Just make sure, that you aren’t the only one giving,” he said. Maria nodded. She knew that, Michael was going to have to give a little as well, and so far he was doing a good job.
“So, did you get laid?” Alex asked with grin.
Maria sighed, “No.” she said disappointedly, but she hadn’t really expected to, so it was ok. “This one might be a tough cookie to crack.” She said, “But I think since he knows how much I enjoy sex, when he sees I’m serious he will break,” Maria said with a laugh.
Soon they were back at Maria’s school. She walked them back up to the room and they ran into Tess on the way back, “So how did it go?” she asked excitedly. She couldn’t wait to hear what happened. She damn near fell out of the chair when Zan called her to ask for Michael’s address. Finally, Maria had admitted that she had feelings for someone, hell must have frozen over.
Maria laughed at her. “It was fine,” she said walking past her blonde friend.
“Oh! That is not an answer,” Tess said. Alex and Zan laughed at her. She was adorable, and very excitable.
Maria rolled her eyes, “Fine, come up to my room, and I’ll give you the short version.” Maria said. Tess followed them up the stairs and into Maria’s room. Zan and Alex sat on Liz’s bed and listened while Maria told Tess the abridged version of what happened in Tennessee.
“OH MY GOD!” Tess said jumping into Maria’s arms. Zan and Alex looked at each other as Maria laughed. She had never been a touchy feely friend, but it seemed that a few months with the girls, she could actually act like one. “This is so great. So, Kyle and Michael can come together all the time,” she said excitedly.
“Well, Michael can only come when he gets paid.” Maria explained, “But it isn’t that big a deal. The big deal is going to come when Isabel finds out. I don’t really care what she thinks, but I’m pretty sure she is going to flip her shit.” Maria said.
Tess nodded. Yeah, Isabel and Courtney had been talking shit about Maria ever since last weekend. It was bad. Tess admired Maria for the way she was taking it. If someone had yelled at her the way Isabel had Maria, she would probably cry, but Maria stood her ground and showed her stubborn side. Tess wished she could be like that.
“Wanna grab some dinner?” Maria asked the boys.
“Yeah, it will be nice to see the girls,” Alex said arching his eye brow. Maria rolled her eyes at him and they got up to go to dinner.
When they got to the cafeteria, Katie and Kaley were already there. Maria set her stuff down next to them and introduced Zan and Alex. Katie and Kaley looked the guys up and down. They defiantly looked good. Katie liked the dark haired guy with the lip ring. He defiantly looked like he knew how to have a good time. Kaley preferred the tall dorky looking one. Just her type.
After they got their food, as they were walking back to the table, Alex noticed all the girls staring at them. “Do I have something in my teeth?” he asked Maria.
“No, you’ve got something between your legs,” Maria said with a laugh.
“You are a guy, so the girls will stare at you,” Tess explained, sitting down. “Some girls don’t know how to act around guys.” Alex and Zan nodded as they sat down next to Katie and Kaley.
When Maria sat down Katie pointed to the entrance of Moody. “Look who it is,” she said, “Our favorite person,” rolling her eyes.
Maria followed to where she was pointing. Isabel and Courtney had just walked in. She rolled her eyes, “Goody goody,” she said sarcastically.
“Which one is Isabel?” Zan asked, knowing who the girls were referring to.
“The one that looks like a supermodel,” Kaley said as she bit into her salad.
Alex didn’t say anything. He just looked at Isabel as she walked into the food line. She was gorgeous. A raving bitch apparently, but beautiful. Whew, he wished Maria and Isabel were on good terms, because he would most defiantly like to meet her.
“Alex,” Maria yelled, breaking him out of his inner monologue.
“What?” he asked looking back at her. Maria turned to see what Alex had been staring at.
“Traitor,” she said good naturedly, as she kicked him under the table. Tess and Zan grinned, as they knew what she was talking about. Katie and Kaley seemed to be oblivious, but shrugged and kept eating.

Chapter 19
“Hello,” Maria answered as she ran into her room and grabbed her cell phone.
“Hey, babe.” Michael’s deep voice said on the other line. Maria had had a long day, but his call put a smile on her face. She was going to see him tomorrow, and she was very excited about it. It had been a long week and she could defiantly use some downtime with Michael.
“What’s going on?” Maria asked, “You don’t know how glad I am you called.” She sighed dramatically.
Michael laughed into the phone, “What’s wrong? You finding the kiddos in your voice class tone deaf?” he asked laughing.
“Ummm, no I knew they were tone deaf before. It’s just been such a along week. But it’s basically because I haven’t had any homework. I’ve been bored, so I’ve been trying to keep myself busy, and it is wearing me out.” Maria explained.
Michael chuckled at her logic, “Well, tomorrow’s Friday, and I’ll be there, so you can cancel all of your big important plans,” he joked.
“Ha Ha.” Maria said humorlessly. “Very funny. Anyway, I can’t wait till you get here,” she confessed, surprised at herself for looking forward to his arrival so much. “Though, we will see what happens when you can Kyle get here, cuase there is a chance that Isabel could start WWIII.” Maria said with a huff. “She told some girl a couple days ago that I was sleeping with a married man,” Maria said recalling Isabel’s latest rumor.
Michael couldn’t help but be filled with rage. He wanted to tell Isabel where she could go. It wasn’t her business what he or Maria did, and besides, she didn’t even know they were together. He just hoped Maria would ignore it and not let it get to her. He was sure she would. Maria wasn’t an easy person to intimidate. “I’m sorry, baby,” he said, “Look, I’ll talk to her tomorrow.” He promised.
“You don’t have to.” Maria said, “I just want her to realize that just because I’m not a lovey dovey kind of person doesn’t mean I’m completely emotionally retarded.” Maria said with a laugh.
Just then Katie walked into her room. “Get up Bitch!!! We’re drinking,” she called out with a drunken giggle. Maria laughed. “Michael, I gotta go, the party calls. Call me when you are close to Hudson, and I’ll come meet you,” Maria said.
“Ok, have fun,” Michael said smiling at his girlfriend. He would never get tired of calling her that. “Nighty night, baby.” He said.
“Night,” Maria said as she hung up the phone.
She turned to Katie and got off her bed, “All right, let’s do the damn thing,” she said in full on party mode.
*********
Down in Katie and Kaley’s room, Maria was having a good time. She had a few drinks in her and she was just getting down to some music. There was a couple guys from Virginia Military Institute there, and Maria found herself rolling her eyes at them most of the night. They were so anti-feminist, it would almost be funny, that is if they weren’t so annoying.
“Hey baby,” one of them said, grinding into her, “Your really hot.”
Maria rolled her eyes and grinned at her girls. This guy thought he was the shit. Too bad Maria was going to have to crush his dreams. She moved away from him and started grinding into Katie, who was long past trashed. “Thank you,” she said to the guy, unenthusiastically.
“So, what are you doing tonight?” he asked moving closer to her.
“I think I’m going to get drunk and go to bed,” she said with a grin.
“Need some company?” he asked. He was pathetic. Guys should not be allowed to speak unless they pass a simple social awareness test.
“No,” she said simply, “I think I’ll have a better time with me vibrator,” and with that she turned away from him and started talking to Kaley.
“Hey, that was a good one,” Kaley complemented. Liz laughed at her roommate. What she would give to have that kind of confidence. Then suddenly, Maria was twirled around by a large masculine hand.
She was face to face with the same VMI asshole, and quite perturbed by his cocky, rough nature. “You’re a fuckin’ bitch!” he yelled at her. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and watched Maria with the new asshole. His boys from VMI silently cheered him on to give this girl what she deserved, while her girlfriends held their breath to see what happened next.
“Why? Because I don’t want to lay back and let you get off?” Maria asked with a grin. She wasn’t fazed by this guy. Even if she wasn’t with Michael, she wasn’t about to waist her time with a guy like this. It was her experience that men who referred to woman as baby makers rarely could locate the g-spot or the clitoris, let alone last longer than 5 minutes in bed.
“Why not? Don’t act like you are any better than any of the other sluts at this school,” he slurred with fire and anger in his eyes.
Maria’s eyes flashed with fury. That was it. Calling a girl a slut was a sure way to make Maria lose it on you. Liz and Tess placed a gentle hand on her, to help her relax, and while she kept her mouth shut, she was still ready to deck this guy.
She didn’t even notice Katie’s boyfriend Clarkie walk into the room. She liked Clarkie a lot. He was sweet and careing. He really loved Katie, and she treated him like shit. But right now, she was fueled by her anger at the pompus asshole in front of her. He roughly grabbed her arm and held her tight. “Get the fuck off me,” He screamed at him.
“Not so tough now, blondie,” he sneered and just as he pushed her back on the bed, Clarkie grabbed his arm mid air before he hit her. Clarkie couldn’t believe that this asshole was going to hit Maria, and more than that, that his friends were just watching in amusment.
“Don’t think so,” Clarkie boomed as he pushed the guy out into the hallway. Katie and Kaley helped Maria up, and she assure them that she was fine, but she really wanted a piece of that guy.
In the hall, Clarkie pushed the VMI dick up against the wall. “Don’t ever fucking lay a hand on Maria, or any other girl in that room, or I’ll make sure it’s the last person you touch!” Clarkie bellowed pushing the guy into the wall hard for emphasis.
“Dude, she’s just some chick,” the guy reasoned.
“No, she isn’t.” Clarkie said as he let the guy go, but he kept him in the hallway as he went back into the room. He grabbed the two other guys from VMI by their shirts and pulled them out of the room. “Now get the fuck out of here,” he demanded. The guys started to argue, but when Clarkie came at them, they gave up the fight and ran down the hall and out of the dorm.
Clarkie, still angry walked back into the room and sat down next to Maria, who was holding her sore arm. “You ok?” he asked in a voice of such gentleness she could barely tell that the person who had grabbed that guy off of her was the same person.
Stunned for just a moment, she shook her head. “Yeha, I’m fine,” she said. “Thank you.”
Clarkie just shrugged it off, but that night Maria found a new respect for him. She would have to talk to Katie about how she treated him. He was a good guy, and she needed to know how lucky she was.
Katie flew into Clarkie’s arms. “Thanks, baby,” she slurred kissing him on the mouth. “Those guys were assholes.”
Clarkie smiled at her. She was his world, how could she not see that. Things turned back up from there. The girls forgot about the guys and began drinking again. The night went on without drama from there.
*******
After her Music Theory class, Maria ran back to her room. She wasn’t sure when Michael and Kyle were getting to Hudson and she wanted to take a shower and get herself together before they got there. It had been about 3 day since she had taken a shower and her legs were hairy, along with some other things. At Hudson, the girls sometimes made a game out of growing out their hair and not taking showers to see how long they could go before they broke. Maria had gone 5 days once for a shower and 3 weeks for her legs, but she could never been Katie’s record. Katie once went 8 days without a shower and 2 months without shaving. Needless to say, Clarkie finally put his foot down.
But now Maria had a boyfriend, which was still a hard concept to grasp for her, so she needed to maintain hygiene. It sucked.
Maria was just finishing up her make-up when her cell phone began vibrating. It scared the crap out of her, but when she saw Michael’s name on the caller ID she smiled. “Hey!” she greeted.
“Hey, we are about two minutes away,” Kyle said into the phone. Maria laughed at him. She could tell he was excited to see Tess again.
“Ok, I’m coming,” Maria said as she hung up the phone, grabbed her keys and walked out the door.
When she got out to the parking lot by moody, she waited on a bench for them to get there. It wasn’t long before Michael’s truck pulled into a parking spot and he and Kyle emerged. Michael’s face lit up when he saw Maria, as did her’s. Kyle looked at the two of them and smiled. He was so happy that his friend was happy, not to mention Maria. He had learned to liked Maria a lot, and Tess absolutely adored her. He was very unhappy about Isabel’s behavior as of late, but he couldn’t say he was surprised. Isabel was a very controlling friend. He had witnessed it himself more than once.
Michael wrapped his arm around Maria’s waist and kissed her gently on the lips. Maria allowed herself to fade into the feeling of his lips on her, and the smell that was so distinctly his wafting into her nose. “Ok,” she said as they broke apart. “What do you want to do?” she asked.
“I’m going to go talk to Isabel,” Michael said securely as they walked into the building.
“I want to talk to her too,” Kyle said before knocking on Tess’s door.
Michael nodded, “I want to talk to her right away, You can talk to her later,” he said. He kenw Kyle was upset about Isabel’s behavior, but he thought that Kyle should talk to her about it himself. Michael needed to have a one on one with his friend.
When Maria and Michael left Kyle at Tess’s they made their way up to the third floor. “You want me to come?” she asked.
“No, I need to talk to her alone first,” Michael said kissing her temple. “I’ll be right back,” he said.
“Yeah, if you are still alive.” Maria said only half-joking as she entered her room.
Michael knocked loudly on Isabel’s door, and waited for her to answer. Soon, she swung it open and looked him. A smile spread across her face and she hugged him tightly. “Michael!!! I didn’t know you were coming,” she said pushing him inside and down on her computer chair. Her voice became more serious when she said, “Of course you haven’t answered my calls in 2 weeks,” she said, not understanding why. She never put it together that Maria might have told him what she said.
“Well,” Michael said seriously, not smiling at her excitement. “I’m here to see Maria,” he answered coolly. He looked at her waiting for a response.
She huffed, “You can’t be serious,” she said thinking he must be joking.
“No, Isabel, I’m not. Maria and I are together. She is my girlfriend, and I would appreciate it if you would except that,” he said to her.
“Michael, she isn’t right for you. I’m just trying to protect you. She is good for frat boys and musicians. You need a woman who respects herself. A girl that can comfort and serve you,” Isabel explained, in an ‘i-know-best’ tone that mad Michael want to scream.
He was getting angry, but he didn’t want to blow up, so he counted to ten and said, “First of all, you apparently don’t know Maria very well. She has been through things you probably can’t even imagine. It is natural that she would have love issues. Secondly, Maria has more self-respect than any person I’ve ever met. And finally, I don’t need a mother, I need a girlfriend. I don’t need someone to “serve” me I need someone to love me, and with time she might. Maybe she never will, but that is my lesson to learn. My mistake to make, if it is one. You can’t control what I do, and you can see that Maria isn’t like the girls back home. She isn’t afraid of you. So, if you keep this up, you are going to lose two really good friends,” Michael said.
Isabel glared at him. “I don’t want to hear it when she breaks you’re heart and fucks 10 other guys behind our back,” she bit out.
Michael became angry at her for talking about Maria like that. He got up and made his way to the door. “Look, Isabel, I tried. But you obviously care more about being right than me being happy.” He said as he opened the door. “If you want to hang out with us, we will be around,” he offered. “Kyle is here too. He will probably be up sometimes today.” And with that Michael walked out of the room.
Isabel picked up her shoe and through it at her door. She was so pissed she didn’t know what to do. Now, not only was Maria DeLuca going to break Michael’s heart, but she had stolen his friendship from her!
Michael entered Maria and Liz’s room and saw her sitting on her bed looking at her computer. “Just checking my mail,” she said without looking up. A few seconds later she closed her computer, set it on her desk and looked at him. “So, how did it go?” she asked getting up and wrapping her arms around his waist.
He pulled her closely into him. “Well, she is stubborn,” was all he said.
“I knew it wasn’t going to help,” Maria reminded him, “But I don’t want to think about her. If you want to hang out with her that’s cool, but right now, I just want to hang out with you,” she said with a grin. Michael groaned and kissed her lips. Their soft kisses became hard and intense quickly and Maria moaned into his mouth.
She broke the kiss and looked back at him with heavy lidded eyes. “Where did you learn to kiss like that?” she asked with a grin. Michael smiled and blushed at her. Maria backed away from him slightly and pulled her fleece over her head. “It’s hot in here,” she said grinning. “Or maybe it’s just you,” she said revealing a pink Hudson tank top.
Michael kissed her neck as it was not fully exposed. “I think it’s you,” he breathed. Then he spotted it. A large, dark hand-shaped bruise, high up on her right arm. He pulled away form her quickly and gently raised her arm. “Maria, what the hell is this?” he asked, wondering who could have done this to his Maria.
Maria bit her lip and frowned. She didn’t know it had bruised that bad. It hurt, but she didn’t think that asshole from that night had held her so tightly. “It’s nothing. Just this guy last night…” she trailed off seeing Micahel’s eyes grow dark with rage. She had never seen him like that in her life. He was usually so mild-mannered.
“Some guy did this to you? Who was it? What happened? Where can I find him?” Michael belted out loudly.
“Michael, calm down,” Maria said sitting him on the bed. She straddled his waist sitting on his lap because she knew she could better control him this way. “Last night, when I got off the phone with you, I went down to Katie and Kaley’s room and there were some guys from VMI there. One guy was hitting on me, and I got smart with him, saying something about how I could have more fun with my vibrator.” She said with a laugh.
Michael was not laughing, he continued to get more tense as she told her story. He had a feeling where this story was going and he didn’t like it, “Anyway, he felt his manhood had been called into question I guess, and he grabbed ahold of me and pushed me down on the bed.” Maria said. Michael looked like he was ready to hit the roof, so she quickly went on, “But Katie’s boyfriend Clarkie pulled him off me and took him outside to yell at him. 1 minute later Clarkie kicked all of the VMI guys out and it was over. It isn’t that big a deal,” she said running a soothing hand down his back.
She felt him relax slightly, but he pulled her chin up to look at him in the eye, “Maria, it is a big deal,” he said seriously.
“But it’s over. This is why I didn’t want to tell you. It hurt, but it’s fine now. It’s just a bruise and I’m fine. Clarkie saved the day,” she said with a smiled as she kissed the corner of his mouth.
Michael was so glad that this guy Clarkie had been there and he made a mental note to thank him whenever it was that he got to meet Clarkie. But he couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if Clarkie hadn’t been there. 5 really drunk girls (one of them being his girlfriend) and three obvious asshole in the military. He held her tightly in a sign of protection. “Ok,” he conceded, there was nothing he could to about it now, “But I don’t want you to keep things like this from me.” Michael said seriously. “It’s important to me that you tell me when something like this happens.”
Maria sighed and nodded. She wasn’t used to this. She wasn’t used to having to report things that happened to her to anyone, let alone a guy. “Fine, but lets just forget about it and have a good weekend,” she said with an evil grin as she kissed him.
“Mmmm, ok,” Michael agreed. Maria pushed her hand down the back of Michael’s shirt from the collar as they continued to kiss. They weren’t going to waist their long awaited free time. Tonight they were partying up with Katie, Kaley, Tess, Kyle, and Liz, but now they had no obligations.

“Hello,” Maria answered as she ran into her room and grabbed her cell phone.
“Hey, babe.” Michael’s deep voice said on the other line. Maria had had a long day, but his call put a smile on her face. She was going to see him tomorrow, and she was very excited about it. It had been a long week and she could defiantly use some downtime with Michael.
“What’s going on?” Maria asked, “You don’t know how glad I am you called.” She sighed dramatically.
Michael laughed into the phone, “What’s wrong? You finding the kiddos in your voice class tone deaf?” he asked laughing.
“Ummm, no I knew they were tone deaf before. It’s just been such a along week. But it’s basically because I haven’t had any homework. I’ve been bored, so I’ve been trying to keep myself busy, and it is wearing me out.” Maria explained.
Michael chuckled at her logic, “Well, tomorrow’s Friday, and I’ll be there, so you can cancel all of your big important plans,” he joked.
“Ha Ha.” Maria said humorlessly. “Very funny. Anyway, I can’t wait till you get here,” she confessed, surprised at herself for looking forward to his arrival so much. “Though, we will see what happens when you can Kyle get here, cuase there is a chance that Isabel could start WWIII.” Maria said with a huff. “She told some girl a couple days ago that I was sleeping with a married man,” Maria said recalling Isabel’s latest rumor.
Michael couldn’t help but be filled with rage. He wanted to tell Isabel where she could go. It wasn’t her business what he or Maria did, and besides, she didn’t even know they were together. He just hoped Maria would ignore it and not let it get to her. He was sure she would. Maria wasn’t an easy person to intimidate. “I’m sorry, baby,” he said, “Look, I’ll talk to her tomorrow.” He promised.
“You don’t have to.” Maria said, “I just want her to realize that just because I’m not a lovey dovey kind of person doesn’t mean I’m completely emotionally retarded.” Maria said with a laugh.
Just then Katie walked into her room. “Get up Bitch!!! We’re drinking,” she called out with a drunken giggle. Maria laughed. “Michael, I gotta go, the party calls. Call me when you are close to Hudson, and I’ll come meet you,” Maria said.
“Ok, have fun,” Michael said smiling at his girlfriend. He would never get tired of calling her that. “Nighty night, baby.” He said.
“Night,” Maria said as she hung up the phone.
She turned to Katie and got off her bed, “All right, let’s do the damn thing,” she said in full on party mode.
*********
Down in Katie and Kaley’s room, Maria was having a good time. She had a few drinks in her and she was just getting down to some music. There was a couple guys from Virginia Military Institute there, and Maria found herself rolling her eyes at them most of the night. They were so anti-feminist, it would almost be funny, that is if they weren’t so annoying.
“Hey baby,” one of them said, grinding into her, “Your really hot.”
Maria rolled her eyes and grinned at her girls. This guy thought he was the shit. Too bad Maria was going to have to crush his dreams. She moved away from him and started grinding into Katie, who was long past trashed. “Thank you,” she said to the guy, unenthusiastically.
“So, what are you doing tonight?” he asked moving closer to her.
“I think I’m going to get drunk and go to bed,” she said with a grin.
“Need some company?” he asked. He was pathetic. Guys should not be allowed to speak unless they pass a simple social awareness test.
“No,” she said simply, “I think I’ll have a better time with me vibrator,” and with that she turned away from him and started talking to Kaley.
“Hey, that was a good one,” Kaley complemented. Liz laughed at her roommate. What she would give to have that kind of confidence. Then suddenly, Maria was twirled around by a large masculine hand.
She was face to face with the same VMI asshole, and quite perturbed by his cocky, rough nature. “You’re a fuckin’ bitch!” he yelled at her. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and watched Maria with the new asshole. His boys from VMI silently cheered him on to give this girl what she deserved, while her girlfriends held their breath to see what happened next.
“Why? Because I don’t want to lay back and let you get off?” Maria asked with a grin. She wasn’t fazed by this guy. Even if she wasn’t with Michael, she wasn’t about to waist her time with a guy like this. It was her experience that men who referred to woman as baby makers rarely could locate the g-spot or the clitoris, let alone last longer than 5 minutes in bed.
“Why not? Don’t act like you are any better than any of the other sluts at this school,” he slurred with fire and anger in his eyes.
Maria’s eyes flashed with fury. That was it. Calling a girl a slut was a sure way to make Maria lose it on you. Liz and Tess placed a gentle hand on her, to help her relax, and while she kept her mouth shut, she was still ready to deck this guy.
She didn’t even notice Katie’s boyfriend Clarkie walk into the room. She liked Clarkie a lot. He was sweet and careing. He really loved Katie, and she treated him like shit. But right now, she was fueled by her anger at the pompus asshole in front of her. He roughly grabbed her arm and held her tight. “Get the fuck off me,” He screamed at him.
“Not so tough now, blondie,” he sneered and just as he pushed her back on the bed, Clarkie grabbed his arm mid air before he hit her. Clarkie couldn’t believe that this asshole was going to hit Maria, and more than that, that his friends were just watching in amusment.
“Don’t think so,” Clarkie boomed as he pushed the guy out into the hallway. Katie and Kaley helped Maria up, and she assure them that she was fine, but she really wanted a piece of that guy.
In the hall, Clarkie pushed the VMI dick up against the wall. “Don’t ever fucking lay a hand on Maria, or any other girl in that room, or I’ll make sure it’s the last person you touch!” Clarkie bellowed pushing the guy into the wall hard for emphasis.
“Dude, she’s just some chick,” the guy reasoned.
“No, she isn’t.” Clarkie said as he let the guy go, but he kept him in the hallway as he went back into the room. He grabbed the two other guys from VMI by their shirts and pulled them out of the room. “Now get the fuck out of here,” he demanded. The guys started to argue, but when Clarkie came at them, they gave up the fight and ran down the hall and out of the dorm.
Clarkie, still angry walked back into the room and sat down next to Maria, who was holding her sore arm. “You ok?” he asked in a voice of such gentleness she could barely tell that the person who had grabbed that guy off of her was the same person.
Stunned for just a moment, she shook her head. “Yeha, I’m fine,” she said. “Thank you.”
Clarkie just shrugged it off, but that night Maria found a new respect for him. She would have to talk to Katie about how she treated him. He was a good guy, and she needed to know how lucky she was.
Katie flew into Clarkie’s arms. “Thanks, baby,” she slurred kissing him on the mouth. “Those guys were assholes.”
Clarkie smiled at her. She was his world, how could she not see that. Things turned back up from there. The girls forgot about the guys and began drinking again. The night went on without drama from there.
*******
After her Music Theory class, Maria ran back to her room. She wasn’t sure when Michael and Kyle were getting to Hudson and she wanted to take a shower and get herself together before they got there. It had been about 3 day since she had taken a shower and her legs were hairy, along with some other things. At Hudson, the girls sometimes made a game out of growing out their hair and not taking showers to see how long they could go before they broke. Maria had gone 5 days once for a shower and 3 weeks for her legs, but she could never been Katie’s record. Katie once went 8 days without a shower and 2 months without shaving. Needless to say, Clarkie finally put his foot down.
But now Maria had a boyfriend, which was still a hard concept to grasp for her, so she needed to maintain hygiene. It sucked.
Maria was just finishing up her make-up when her cell phone began vibrating. It scared the crap out of her, but when she saw Michael’s name on the caller ID she smiled. “Hey!” she greeted.
“Hey, we are about two minutes away,” Kyle said into the phone. Maria laughed at him. She could tell he was excited to see Tess again.
“Ok, I’m coming,” Maria said as she hung up the phone, grabbed her keys and walked out the door.
When she got out to the parking lot by moody, she waited on a bench for them to get there. It wasn’t long before Michael’s truck pulled into a parking spot and he and Kyle emerged. Michael’s face lit up when he saw Maria, as did her’s. Kyle looked at the two of them and smiled. He was so happy that his friend was happy, not to mention Maria. He had learned to liked Maria a lot, and Tess absolutely adored her. He was very unhappy about Isabel’s behavior as of late, but he couldn’t say he was surprised. Isabel was a very controlling friend. He had witnessed it himself more than once.
Michael wrapped his arm around Maria’s waist and kissed her gently on the lips. Maria allowed herself to fade into the feeling of his lips on her, and the smell that was so distinctly his wafting into her nose. “Ok,” she said as they broke apart. “What do you want to do?” she asked.
“I’m going to go talk to Isabel,” Michael said securely as they walked into the building.
“I want to talk to her too,” Kyle said before knocking on Tess’s door.
Michael nodded, “I want to talk to her right away, You can talk to her later,” he said. He kenw Kyle was upset about Isabel’s behavior, but he thought that Kyle should talk to her about it himself. Michael needed to have a one on one with his friend.
When Maria and Michael left Kyle at Tess’s they made their way up to the third floor. “You want me to come?” she asked.
“No, I need to talk to her alone first,” Michael said kissing her temple. “I’ll be right back,” he said.
“Yeah, if you are still alive.” Maria said only half-joking as she entered her room.
Michael knocked loudly on Isabel’s door, and waited for her to answer. Soon, she swung it open and looked him. A smile spread across her face and she hugged him tightly. “Michael!!! I didn’t know you were coming,” she said pushing him inside and down on her computer chair. Her voice became more serious when she said, “Of course you haven’t answered my calls in 2 weeks,” she said, not understanding why. She never put it together that Maria might have told him what she said.
“Well,” Michael said seriously, not smiling at her excitement. “I’m here to see Maria,” he answered coolly. He looked at her waiting for a response.
She huffed, “You can’t be serious,” she said thinking he must be joking.
“No, Isabel, I’m not. Maria and I are together. She is my girlfriend, and I would appreciate it if you would except that,” he said to her.
“Michael, she isn’t right for you. I’m just trying to protect you. She is good for frat boys and musicians. You need a woman who respects herself. A girl that can comfort and serve you,” Isabel explained, in an ‘i-know-best’ tone that mad Michael want to scream.
He was getting angry, but he didn’t want to blow up, so he counted to ten and said, “First of all, you apparently don’t know Maria very well. She has been through things you probably can’t even imagine. It is natural that she would have love issues. Secondly, Maria has more self-respect than any person I’ve ever met. And finally, I don’t need a mother, I need a girlfriend. I don’t need someone to “serve” me I need someone to love me, and with time she might. Maybe she never will, but that is my lesson to learn. My mistake to make, if it is one. You can’t control what I do, and you can see that Maria isn’t like the girls back home. She isn’t afraid of you. So, if you keep this up, you are going to lose two really good friends,” Michael said.
Isabel glared at him. “I don’t want to hear it when she breaks you’re heart and fucks 10 other guys behind our back,” she bit out.
Michael became angry at her for talking about Maria like that. He got up and made his way to the door. “Look, Isabel, I tried. But you obviously care more about being right than me being happy.” He said as he opened the door. “If you want to hang out with us, we will be around,” he offered. “Kyle is here too. He will probably be up sometimes today.” And with that Michael walked out of the room.
Isabel picked up her shoe and through it at her door. She was so pissed she didn’t know what to do. Now, not only was Maria DeLuca going to break Michael’s heart, but she had stolen his friendship from her!
Michael entered Maria and Liz’s room and saw her sitting on her bed looking at her computer. “Just checking my mail,” she said without looking up. A few seconds later she closed her computer, set it on her desk and looked at him. “So, how did it go?” she asked getting up and wrapping her arms around his waist.
He pulled her closely into him. “Well, she is stubborn,” was all he said.
“I knew it wasn’t going to help,” Maria reminded him, “But I don’t want to think about her. If you want to hang out with her that’s cool, but right now, I just want to hang out with you,” she said with a grin. Michael groaned and kissed her lips. Their soft kisses became hard and intense quickly and Maria moaned into his mouth.
She broke the kiss and looked back at him with heavy lidded eyes. “Where did you learn to kiss like that?” she asked with a grin. Michael smiled and blushed at her. Maria backed away from him slightly and pulled her fleece over her head. “It’s hot in here,” she said grinning. “Or maybe it’s just you,” she said revealing a pink Hudson tank top.
Michael kissed her neck as it was not fully exposed. “I think it’s you,” he breathed. Then he spotted it. A large, dark hand-shaped bruise, high up on her right arm. He pulled away form her quickly and gently raised her arm. “Maria, what the hell is this?” he asked, wondering who could have done this to his Maria.
Maria bit her lip and frowned. She didn’t know it had bruised that bad. It hurt, but she didn’t think that asshole from that night had held her so tightly. “It’s nothing. Just this guy last night…” she trailed off seeing Micahel’s eyes grow dark with rage. She had never seen him like that in her life. He was usually so mild-mannered.
“Some guy did this to you? Who was it? What happened? Where can I find him?” Michael belted out loudly.
“Michael, calm down,” Maria said sitting him on the bed. She straddled his waist sitting on his lap because she knew she could better control him this way. “Last night, when I got off the phone with you, I went down to Katie and Kaley’s room and there were some guys from VMI there. One guy was hitting on me, and I got smart with him, saying something about how I could have more fun with my vibrator.” She said with a laugh.
Michael was not laughing, he continued to get more tense as she told her story. He had a feeling where this story was going and he didn’t like it, “Anyway, he felt his manhood had been called into question I guess, and he grabbed ahold of me and pushed me down on the bed.” Maria said. Michael looked like he was ready to hit the roof, so she quickly went on, “But Katie’s boyfriend Clarkie pulled him off me and took him outside to yell at him. 1 minute later Clarkie kicked all of the VMI guys out and it was over. It isn’t that big a deal,” she said running a soothing hand down his back.
She felt him relax slightly, but he pulled her chin up to look at him in the eye, “Maria, it is a big deal,” he said seriously.
“But it’s over. This is why I didn’t want to tell you. It hurt, but it’s fine now. It’s just a bruise and I’m fine. Clarkie saved the day,” she said with a smiled as she kissed the corner of his mouth.
Michael was so glad that this guy Clarkie had been there and he made a mental note to thank him whenever it was that he got to meet Clarkie. But he couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if Clarkie hadn’t been there. 5 really drunk girls (one of them being his girlfriend) and three obvious asshole in the military. He held her tightly in a sign of protection. “Ok,” he conceded, there was nothing he could to about it now, “But I don’t want you to keep things like this from me.” Michael said seriously. “It’s important to me that you tell me when something like this happens.”
Maria sighed and nodded. She wasn’t used to this. She wasn’t used to having to report things that happened to her to anyone, let alone a guy. “Fine, but lets just forget about it and have a good weekend,” she said with an evil grin as she kissed him.
“Mmmm, ok,” Michael agreed. Maria pushed her hand down the back of Michael’s shirt from the collar as they continued to kiss. They weren’t going to waist their long awaited free time. Tonight they were partying up with Katie, Kaley, Tess, Kyle, and Liz, but now they had no obligations.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
Chapter 20
Maria’s phone rang, several hours later, mid-make-out with Michael. “Let it ring,” he said to her between kisses.
“Uh huh,” Maria said with a grin shaking her head. “That could be the party calling.” She flipped her phone open. “Hello?” she said.
Michael watched her nod into the phone and said, “Alright, we’ll be there in like 10 minutes,” Maria said as she hung up and turned back to Michael. “We’ve got to go,” she said getting up, but before she got all the way off of him, Michael pulled her back down next to him.
“2 more minutes,” he begged burying his nose into her neck.
“Fine,” she said eagerly devouring his lips with hers. Two minutes later, as promised, Maria untangled herself from Michael’s warm embraced and smoothed out her clothes. Michael sighed and got off the bed, doing the same. He wasn’t a big partier, but he knew this was just a small get-together. Besides, he would get to meet Katie and Kaley finally.
They walked hand-in-hand down the stairs to Katie’s room which was relatively quiet. They obviously weren’t drunk yet, Maria thought. She led Michael into the room and they girls smiled at them. Kyle and Tess were also there, as well as Liz, whom Maria hadn’t seen all day.
“Hey, Katie and Kaley, this is Michael.” Maria introduced, as she turned to Michael and said, “Michael this is Katie and Kaley.”
Michael smiled and shook their hands, a little unsure what to say to them. He was never good about meeting new people, especially girls. For some reason he couldn’t talk when they were around. Maria had been the only girl besides Isabel and eventually Tess and Liz that he felt comfortable with.
“What do you guys want to drink?” Katie asked opening her fridge.
“A glass of wine,” Maria said. She didn’t want to get drunk tonight. She decided earlier that week that when Michael was at Hudson, she wasn’t going to get trashed. Since they had so little time together anyway, she wanted to remember it.
Michael, feeling the same way, just asked for a beer and as they drank their drinks the gang just sat around talking. Katie and Kaley loved Kyle. She thought he was funny and Tess seemed to be smitten with him.
They were so surprised to see Michael, though. He was so quiet and caring. He seemed to be the opposite of what Maria went for, and so different from her nature, however, knowing a lot about the Zodiac, they knew that opposites attracted, and that he balanced Maria’s wild and loud personality.
Then there was a knock that the door, and Katie skipped to it, and let Clarkie into the room. She kissed him hard as he walked inside and sat down next to Maria and Michael. “Hey Clarkie,” Maria said with a bright smile. “This is my boyfriend,” Michael she introduced, turning to Michael. “Michael, this is Katie’s boyfriend Clarkie.” Michael smiled and shook Clarkie’s outstretched hand. He liked Clarkie already.
“You wanna smoke?” Kyle asked looking at Maria.
“Yeah, let’s go,” she said pulling out her smokes and a lighter. “You coming?” she asked the others. Kaley, Katie, Liz, Michael and Clarkie followed them, and finally Tess.
“I might as well start smoking,” she said with a giggle, since eveyrone she hung out with smoked.
“I’d advise it,” Maria said joking. She was known for saying things like that just to piss off non-smokers.
Clarkie and Michael brought up the rear of the group and Michael finally turned to the guy next to him and said, “Hey, can I talk to you for a second?” Clarkie smiled and nodded, stopping to face Michael.
“I wanted to thank you for what you did for Maria last night,” Michael said seriously. “I don’t know what would have happened if you hadn’t been there,” he confessed.
“Really, it’s no problem, man,” Clarkie said shrugging it off. The he looked back up at Michael, “You are a lucky man,” he said with a chuckle, “Maria is a pretty amazing girl.”
Michael smiled. He knew that. Boy, did he know that. He was praying everyday that Maria didn’t wake up and see that she was perfect and could do much better than him. “I know she is.” He said to his new friend, “Anyway, thank you.” He said starting to walk toward the doors to the balcony. Clarkie followed him outside.
Maria saw the two guys come out together and smiled. She knew that Michael would want to talk to him. She greeted him at the door and kissed him lightly on the lips. The group watched the two interact. It was like they were looking at a different Maria. Never had they seen her look at a man like she looked at Michael. He wasn’t just a good lay to her, he was something special in her eyes. They were all happy for their friend.
“Alright, break it up,” Kyle said with a chuckle, “Get a room!” his laughter stopped immediately when Tess elbowed him in the ribs. He rubbed his side gingerly as Tess whispered something harshly into his ear and he quickly sobered up.
Maria stuck her tongue out at him and Michael gave him a death glare. But both of them smiled at their friend in an act of sympathy when they saw his distressed face. Tess must have pulled out the ‘no sex’ card.
Maria and Michael hung out with their friends for quiet some time, but as the night wore on, it become exceedingly clear to them both, that they wanted to continue their alone time. Maria scolded herself for wanting to ditch her friends for a guy, but she then realized that he was now their friends as well, besides, this was their first weekend as a couple.
“Alright, I’m kind of tired,” Mari said getting up and stretching. Michael was so glad she had done that. He stood up and followed suit.
“Night, assholes,” Katie said with a grin from Clarkie’s lap.
“I’m going to stay at Arian’s tonight,” Liz said to her friend. She didn’t think that she wanted to stay in the room tonight.
“Cool,” Maria said with a grin.
They said goodnight to everyone and made their way back to Maria’s room. On the way up the stairs, Michael pulled Maria into him and kissed her, “I’ve wanted to get you alone since the moment we left the room,” he breathed against her lips. She giggled at the sensation and pulled him up the stairs and into her room.
She shut and locked her door as she kicked her shoe’s off. “Why don’t you get ready for bed and I’ll put on some music,” she said as she turned around and pulled her shirt over her head. Facing the wall, she took off her bra and pulled a tank top over her head. She changed her jeans into some scandalously short athletic shorts and turned around to find Michael already changed into a tee-shirt and boxers.
She pulled out some of her CDs and decided on Janis Joplin’s greatest hits. Michael smiled and nodded approvingly as he motioned for her to join him on the bed. Maria clicked off the lights and slid into her warm bed next to Michael. She turned around to face him and smiled, seeing his signature grin spread across his face.
“So…” Michael said softly into her ear. He couldn’t help his heart from racing as he looked at her beautiful face. He felt her raise her leg up over his hip as she pulled herself in closer to him.
Her lips were just a breath away from his as she returned ,”So…” and then her lips were an his, drinking him in completely as her hands went instinctively around his neck. Michael gently caressed Maria’s cheek, and she nearly cried from that caring action. She had never been handled as gently as Michael always touched her.
He other hand traveled down her sides and let his thumb make gentle circles on her lower back under her tank top. “mmmm,” she moaned pushing herself as close a possible to Michael. She felt like she couldn’t get close enough to him.
Michael’s cock grew so hard it was painful at the feeling of Maria’s tight body rubbing seductively against him. He was lost in his senses, and his cock was aching, all he could concentrate on was her lips and tongue moving across the skin of his neck.
Maria unconsciously ground her hips into Michael’s erect cock, moaning in frustration that she couldn’t feel him completely inside her. Michael wound his hands in her hair and pulled her face back up to look into her eyes. He was breathless from her kisses and his arousal, but he had to get this out, “Baby, I need some time,” he said, “before we have sex.”
He saw disappointment in Maria’s eyes as she looked at him, but she sighed and nodded, “I understand,” she said, trying to sound convincing. “I just want you so bad,” she admitted.
Michael lifted her chin and kissed her gently, “That doesn’t mean we can’t have fun,” he said grinning evilly at her. “And I will be ready soon. I want you with every fiber of my being. I just need a little time.” He repeated as he rested his head against her forehead.
Maria smiled and looked into Michael’s eyes. “It’s okay,” she said with more conviction. “I can wait for a little while, but eventually, I’ll have to rape you,” she said joking. Michael stopped her laughter with a deep passionate kiss, and he pulled her back into his body. His hands went down to the hem of her shirt and gently began lifting it. Maria raised her hands in the air to help him get it off of her.
“You are so beautiful,” he said in awe as he watched her bare torso come into his view. Maria blushed and kissed him again, only breaking their lip lock to pull his shirt off. She let her hands explore his smooth skin as his hands moved down her body and slipped them into the back of her shorts and onto her ass.
“Mmmm, ass man?” Maria asked with a grin.
“Baby, I like all your parts,” Michael whispered seductively into her ear.
“You mind if I take off my shorts?” Maria asked. It was weird for her to feel the need to ask. However, she didn’t want to make him uncomfortable.
Instead of answering her he gently pushed her shorts off her, and as far down as he could reach allowing her to kick them the rest of the way off. Maria wrapped her legs around Michael against as he continued to feel the skin of her ass.
Michael got a little bolder, moving his hand to the front of her thong and dipped a finger inside the top. When he felt Maria moan in reaction, and push herself into his hand, be gained some more courage. Pushing his hand completely into her panties, he felt how wet she was. He had done that to her, and he felt great pride in knowing that. He ran his fingers lightly over her wet pussy. “Michael,” she breathed against his shoulder.
He entered a digit into her tight passage and Maria reacted by wrapping her legs tighter around him. Her hand began to wander southward until she was gently pushing his boxers down his hips. Michael breathed shallowly in anticipations and Maria wrapped her small hand tightly around his pulsating erection.
Michael now had two fingers inside Maria, and he was pumping them in and out of her like a pro. Maria’s breath hitched as she moved her delicate hand up and down his large shaft, stopping to collect some pre-cum at the tip of his cock. “Oh Maria,” Michael groaned as he began to thrust into her hand. He was picking up speed this is own hand and Maria was now so close to orgasm, she thought we would screen.
She fucked him harder with her hand and just as she felt him close to coming, his thumb flicked over her clit sending her over the edge. “Oh fuck, Michael!” she moaned loudly as she came around his fingers, holding him in a tight grip. She pumped him through her orgasm, and seconds later, he followed coming into her hand. “Oh god, baby,” he groaned and she drowned out his moaning with her mouth fixed to his.
They lay there in the afterglow breathless, until Michael pulled her into him. Wrapping her in his protective embrace, Michael kissed her nose, cheeks, and finally her lips. Moments later they both fell asleep.
*********
The next morning, Michael woke before Maria, and looking at her mostly naked and tousled state he smiled. She was sexier right there than he had ever seen her before. Making her come with the best feeling he’d ever felt. For the handful of girls he had slept with before had never made him feel the way she had, moaning his name in need. And the hand job she gave him was better than any sex he had ever had. He didn’t know what he would do when they actually DID have sex.
Maria’s gently opened and she smiled at him. “Morning,” she said.
“Morning.”
They met Kyle and Tess and headed to brunch together. They noticed that Tess and Kyle looked a little rough. “What the hell did you guys do last night?” Maria asked.
“Let’s just say that I’m never drinking Tequila again,” Tess said with a dramatic sigh.
“Jose Cuervo is not my friend,” Kyle said holding his head in pain. Michael and Maria laughed at them. They felt their pain. Tequila hangovers sucked.
“Take it there will be no eggs over easy for you today,” Maria said with an evil laugh. Michael patted her on the back as a sign that he was impressed with her meaness.
“I hate you,” Kyle said looking like he was going to throw up. Maria shook her head and hugged him.
“You love me,” she said smacking a wet kiss on his cheek. Michael felt slight jealousy, at this, but he laughed at himself. He really needed to keep his jealousy in check. Kyle wasn’t trying to steal his girl.
After they ate, both Kyle and Tess seemed to have revived themselves. “So, did you talk to the Ice Queen…I mean Isabel yet?” Michael asked.
Kyle scoffed. “Yeah. She is crazy. I mean, I knew she was over protective, but the girl has lost her mind.” Kyle said.
“What did she say?” Maria asked, wanting to know for some morbid reason.
Kyle didn’t really want to rehash the conversation for Maria. It wasn’t pretty. He looked up at Michael, and when he saw no warning in his friend’s eyes, he looked back at Maria. “Just the typical. You aren’t right for Michael. You are going to break his heart and cheat on him, because girls like you don’t know how to be faithful.” He defiantly sugar coated the conversation. He recalled Isabel saying that Maria was a ‘slut who just wanted to make every man in the world lose his soul.’
Maria sighed in frustration. “UGGGHHHH…Like I don’t know all of that already. Like I don’t know that I’m probably the last person Michael should be with. Jesus Christ, I just want a fucking chance,” she said stomping off with her tray. Michael, Kyle and Tess watched her walk out of Moody in shock. Maria had never gone off like that about someone she was actually semi-close too.
Michael knew this was hard for her, and to have everyone second guessing her wasn’t helping matters. “Go talk to her,” Tess said gently to Michael. He nodded and walked his tray to the conveyer belt before joining a smoking Maria outside.
“Sorry about that,” Maria said as Michael sat down on the steps next to her.
“Maria, I’ve given you a chance. I trust you.” He said wrapping his arm around her.
“Thank you, Michael,” she said looking him in the eye. “It’s just that, the reason I don’t do relationships is because I’ve never found anyone that was worth the effort. But now that I have, it seems like no one has faith in me.” He said laying her head on his shoulder.
“I have faith in you,” he said as he kissed her forehead.
“Enough of this. I’m not worrying about Isabel right now. Let’s just have fun,” she said getting up. It always amazed at how fast Maria could change her mood. He got up with her and followed her back into the dinning hall.

They walked hand-in-hand down the stairs to Katie’s room which was relatively quiet. They obviously weren’t drunk yet, Maria thought. She led Michael into the room and they girls smiled at them. Kyle and Tess were also there, as well as Liz, whom Maria hadn’t seen all day.
“Hey, Katie and Kaley, this is Michael.” Maria introduced, as she turned to Michael and said, “Michael this is Katie and Kaley.”
Michael smiled and shook their hands, a little unsure what to say to them. He was never good about meeting new people, especially girls. For some reason he couldn’t talk when they were around. Maria had been the only girl besides Isabel and eventually Tess and Liz that he felt comfortable with.
“What do you guys want to drink?” Katie asked opening her fridge.
“A glass of wine,” Maria said. She didn’t want to get drunk tonight. She decided earlier that week that when Michael was at Hudson, she wasn’t going to get trashed. Since they had so little time together anyway, she wanted to remember it.
Michael, feeling the same way, just asked for a beer and as they drank their drinks the gang just sat around talking. Katie and Kaley loved Kyle. She thought he was funny and Tess seemed to be smitten with him.
They were so surprised to see Michael, though. He was so quiet and caring. He seemed to be the opposite of what Maria went for, and so different from her nature, however, knowing a lot about the Zodiac, they knew that opposites attracted, and that he balanced Maria’s wild and loud personality.
Then there was a knock that the door, and Katie skipped to it, and let Clarkie into the room. She kissed him hard as he walked inside and sat down next to Maria and Michael. “Hey Clarkie,” Maria said with a bright smile. “This is my boyfriend,” Michael she introduced, turning to Michael. “Michael, this is Katie’s boyfriend Clarkie.” Michael smiled and shook Clarkie’s outstretched hand. He liked Clarkie already.
“You wanna smoke?” Kyle asked looking at Maria.
“Yeah, let’s go,” she said pulling out her smokes and a lighter. “You coming?” she asked the others. Kaley, Katie, Liz, Michael and Clarkie followed them, and finally Tess.
“I might as well start smoking,” she said with a giggle, since eveyrone she hung out with smoked.
“I’d advise it,” Maria said joking. She was known for saying things like that just to piss off non-smokers.
Clarkie and Michael brought up the rear of the group and Michael finally turned to the guy next to him and said, “Hey, can I talk to you for a second?” Clarkie smiled and nodded, stopping to face Michael.
“I wanted to thank you for what you did for Maria last night,” Michael said seriously. “I don’t know what would have happened if you hadn’t been there,” he confessed.
“Really, it’s no problem, man,” Clarkie said shrugging it off. The he looked back up at Michael, “You are a lucky man,” he said with a chuckle, “Maria is a pretty amazing girl.”
Michael smiled. He knew that. Boy, did he know that. He was praying everyday that Maria didn’t wake up and see that she was perfect and could do much better than him. “I know she is.” He said to his new friend, “Anyway, thank you.” He said starting to walk toward the doors to the balcony. Clarkie followed him outside.
Maria saw the two guys come out together and smiled. She knew that Michael would want to talk to him. She greeted him at the door and kissed him lightly on the lips. The group watched the two interact. It was like they were looking at a different Maria. Never had they seen her look at a man like she looked at Michael. He wasn’t just a good lay to her, he was something special in her eyes. They were all happy for their friend.
“Alright, break it up,” Kyle said with a chuckle, “Get a room!” his laughter stopped immediately when Tess elbowed him in the ribs. He rubbed his side gingerly as Tess whispered something harshly into his ear and he quickly sobered up.
Maria stuck her tongue out at him and Michael gave him a death glare. But both of them smiled at their friend in an act of sympathy when they saw his distressed face. Tess must have pulled out the ‘no sex’ card.
Maria and Michael hung out with their friends for quiet some time, but as the night wore on, it become exceedingly clear to them both, that they wanted to continue their alone time. Maria scolded herself for wanting to ditch her friends for a guy, but she then realized that he was now their friends as well, besides, this was their first weekend as a couple.
“Alright, I’m kind of tired,” Mari said getting up and stretching. Michael was so glad she had done that. He stood up and followed suit.
“Night, assholes,” Katie said with a grin from Clarkie’s lap.
“I’m going to stay at Arian’s tonight,” Liz said to her friend. She didn’t think that she wanted to stay in the room tonight.
“Cool,” Maria said with a grin.
They said goodnight to everyone and made their way back to Maria’s room. On the way up the stairs, Michael pulled Maria into him and kissed her, “I’ve wanted to get you alone since the moment we left the room,” he breathed against her lips. She giggled at the sensation and pulled him up the stairs and into her room.
She shut and locked her door as she kicked her shoe’s off. “Why don’t you get ready for bed and I’ll put on some music,” she said as she turned around and pulled her shirt over her head. Facing the wall, she took off her bra and pulled a tank top over her head. She changed her jeans into some scandalously short athletic shorts and turned around to find Michael already changed into a tee-shirt and boxers.
She pulled out some of her CDs and decided on Janis Joplin’s greatest hits. Michael smiled and nodded approvingly as he motioned for her to join him on the bed. Maria clicked off the lights and slid into her warm bed next to Michael. She turned around to face him and smiled, seeing his signature grin spread across his face.
“So…” Michael said softly into her ear. He couldn’t help his heart from racing as he looked at her beautiful face. He felt her raise her leg up over his hip as she pulled herself in closer to him.
Her lips were just a breath away from his as she returned ,”So…” and then her lips were an his, drinking him in completely as her hands went instinctively around his neck. Michael gently caressed Maria’s cheek, and she nearly cried from that caring action. She had never been handled as gently as Michael always touched her.
He other hand traveled down her sides and let his thumb make gentle circles on her lower back under her tank top. “mmmm,” she moaned pushing herself as close a possible to Michael. She felt like she couldn’t get close enough to him.
Michael’s cock grew so hard it was painful at the feeling of Maria’s tight body rubbing seductively against him. He was lost in his senses, and his cock was aching, all he could concentrate on was her lips and tongue moving across the skin of his neck.
Maria unconsciously ground her hips into Michael’s erect cock, moaning in frustration that she couldn’t feel him completely inside her. Michael wound his hands in her hair and pulled her face back up to look into her eyes. He was breathless from her kisses and his arousal, but he had to get this out, “Baby, I need some time,” he said, “before we have sex.”
He saw disappointment in Maria’s eyes as she looked at him, but she sighed and nodded, “I understand,” she said, trying to sound convincing. “I just want you so bad,” she admitted.
Michael lifted her chin and kissed her gently, “That doesn’t mean we can’t have fun,” he said grinning evilly at her. “And I will be ready soon. I want you with every fiber of my being. I just need a little time.” He repeated as he rested his head against her forehead.
Maria smiled and looked into Michael’s eyes. “It’s okay,” she said with more conviction. “I can wait for a little while, but eventually, I’ll have to rape you,” she said joking. Michael stopped her laughter with a deep passionate kiss, and he pulled her back into his body. His hands went down to the hem of her shirt and gently began lifting it. Maria raised her hands in the air to help him get it off of her.
“You are so beautiful,” he said in awe as he watched her bare torso come into his view. Maria blushed and kissed him again, only breaking their lip lock to pull his shirt off. She let her hands explore his smooth skin as his hands moved down her body and slipped them into the back of her shorts and onto her ass.
“Mmmm, ass man?” Maria asked with a grin.
“Baby, I like all your parts,” Michael whispered seductively into her ear.
“You mind if I take off my shorts?” Maria asked. It was weird for her to feel the need to ask. However, she didn’t want to make him uncomfortable.
Instead of answering her he gently pushed her shorts off her, and as far down as he could reach allowing her to kick them the rest of the way off. Maria wrapped her legs around Michael against as he continued to feel the skin of her ass.
Michael got a little bolder, moving his hand to the front of her thong and dipped a finger inside the top. When he felt Maria moan in reaction, and push herself into his hand, be gained some more courage. Pushing his hand completely into her panties, he felt how wet she was. He had done that to her, and he felt great pride in knowing that. He ran his fingers lightly over her wet pussy. “Michael,” she breathed against his shoulder.
He entered a digit into her tight passage and Maria reacted by wrapping her legs tighter around him. Her hand began to wander southward until she was gently pushing his boxers down his hips. Michael breathed shallowly in anticipations and Maria wrapped her small hand tightly around his pulsating erection.
Michael now had two fingers inside Maria, and he was pumping them in and out of her like a pro. Maria’s breath hitched as she moved her delicate hand up and down his large shaft, stopping to collect some pre-cum at the tip of his cock. “Oh Maria,” Michael groaned as he began to thrust into her hand. He was picking up speed this is own hand and Maria was now so close to orgasm, she thought we would screen.
She fucked him harder with her hand and just as she felt him close to coming, his thumb flicked over her clit sending her over the edge. “Oh fuck, Michael!” she moaned loudly as she came around his fingers, holding him in a tight grip. She pumped him through her orgasm, and seconds later, he followed coming into her hand. “Oh god, baby,” he groaned and she drowned out his moaning with her mouth fixed to his.
They lay there in the afterglow breathless, until Michael pulled her into him. Wrapping her in his protective embrace, Michael kissed her nose, cheeks, and finally her lips. Moments later they both fell asleep.
*********
The next morning, Michael woke before Maria, and looking at her mostly naked and tousled state he smiled. She was sexier right there than he had ever seen her before. Making her come with the best feeling he’d ever felt. For the handful of girls he had slept with before had never made him feel the way she had, moaning his name in need. And the hand job she gave him was better than any sex he had ever had. He didn’t know what he would do when they actually DID have sex.
Maria’s gently opened and she smiled at him. “Morning,” she said.
“Morning.”
They met Kyle and Tess and headed to brunch together. They noticed that Tess and Kyle looked a little rough. “What the hell did you guys do last night?” Maria asked.
“Let’s just say that I’m never drinking Tequila again,” Tess said with a dramatic sigh.
“Jose Cuervo is not my friend,” Kyle said holding his head in pain. Michael and Maria laughed at them. They felt their pain. Tequila hangovers sucked.
“Take it there will be no eggs over easy for you today,” Maria said with an evil laugh. Michael patted her on the back as a sign that he was impressed with her meaness.
“I hate you,” Kyle said looking like he was going to throw up. Maria shook her head and hugged him.
“You love me,” she said smacking a wet kiss on his cheek. Michael felt slight jealousy, at this, but he laughed at himself. He really needed to keep his jealousy in check. Kyle wasn’t trying to steal his girl.
After they ate, both Kyle and Tess seemed to have revived themselves. “So, did you talk to the Ice Queen…I mean Isabel yet?” Michael asked.
Kyle scoffed. “Yeah. She is crazy. I mean, I knew she was over protective, but the girl has lost her mind.” Kyle said.
“What did she say?” Maria asked, wanting to know for some morbid reason.
Kyle didn’t really want to rehash the conversation for Maria. It wasn’t pretty. He looked up at Michael, and when he saw no warning in his friend’s eyes, he looked back at Maria. “Just the typical. You aren’t right for Michael. You are going to break his heart and cheat on him, because girls like you don’t know how to be faithful.” He defiantly sugar coated the conversation. He recalled Isabel saying that Maria was a ‘slut who just wanted to make every man in the world lose his soul.’
Maria sighed in frustration. “UGGGHHHH…Like I don’t know all of that already. Like I don’t know that I’m probably the last person Michael should be with. Jesus Christ, I just want a fucking chance,” she said stomping off with her tray. Michael, Kyle and Tess watched her walk out of Moody in shock. Maria had never gone off like that about someone she was actually semi-close too.
Michael knew this was hard for her, and to have everyone second guessing her wasn’t helping matters. “Go talk to her,” Tess said gently to Michael. He nodded and walked his tray to the conveyer belt before joining a smoking Maria outside.
“Sorry about that,” Maria said as Michael sat down on the steps next to her.
“Maria, I’ve given you a chance. I trust you.” He said wrapping his arm around her.
“Thank you, Michael,” she said looking him in the eye. “It’s just that, the reason I don’t do relationships is because I’ve never found anyone that was worth the effort. But now that I have, it seems like no one has faith in me.” He said laying her head on his shoulder.
“I have faith in you,” he said as he kissed her forehead.
“Enough of this. I’m not worrying about Isabel right now. Let’s just have fun,” she said getting up. It always amazed at how fast Maria could change her mood. He got up with her and followed her back into the dinning hall.
