Thank you for leaving me such amazing fb! My little girl loved the birthday wishes!
Chapter 11
“Are they still behind us?”
Glancing in the rear view mirror Alex sighed as he tapped the steering wheel nervously.
“You mean the big black unmarked car with the FBI blinking sign of the roof? Yep still there.”
Crouching down into her seat Isabel grabbed Alex’s leg causing him to jerk and swerve.
“What are you doing? Do you want to give them a reason to pull us over!”
Straightening out the car Alex eyed her hand before concentrating once again on the road.
“Sorry you kind of took me by surprise.”
Ignoring him she moved closer snuggling against his skinny frame as her fear climbed.
“Alex maybe we should go to your house. I could sneak in your window. I just don't want to be alone in the house with Max out there and Michael gone.”
Feeling his heart begin to race he put his arm gently over her and began to stroke her hair.
“Alex what are you doing?”
Lifting his hand in the air as if he touched something hot he cringed hoping he hadn’t offended her.
“Umm… comforting you?”
“Listen if you take the short cut on Bradley Boulevard and cut through the high school we should lose them. I don’t think they are aware that you’re involved in this yet.”
“Ok…my house it is.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Must you snore like a friggin freight train?!”
Turning over Michael misjudged his limited space on the couch and fell to the floor in a hard thump.
“Go to sleep Maria!”
“Its just I don’t get how your supposed to be protecting me when your sound asleep. I mean your making so much noise an army could come in here and take me away and you wouldn’t hear a thing!”
Sitting on the couch rubbing his mangled spikes Michael cursed under his breath.
“Well I’m hearing you just fine right now... I don’t think you have anything to worry about.”
Feeling her presence standing beside him he looked up at her clenching his jaw in frustration.
“What is it Maria?”
With her hands on her hips she began to pace the room anxiously.
“I just think that I’d be safer with you with me …in the …well…bedroom.”
“Fine!”
Grabbing his pillow and the blanket she gave him he stormed in her room and plopped down on the bed.
“Umm …what exactly do you think you’re doing?”
“Sleeping…please shut up.”
“Not on my bed your not!”
Opening one eye Michael lifted the blanket over his shoulder and made himself more comfortable.
“You want me in here?”
“Well … yeah but – “
“I’m not sleeping on the floor so make yourself comfortable or grab some wood, I’m getting some sleep.”
Standing for several seconds with her mouth wide open she huffed her annoyance before laying on top of the covers on the edge of the bed.
“You’re impossible!”
“You’re easy.”
Michael snickered to himself as he dozed off leaving Maria fuming angrily next to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The only thing I do know is that I belong with you. Please tell me I’m not wrong Liz.”
Breathless and shaky he closed his eyes feeling at last that he was home.
“Please Liz… tell me I’m not wrong.”
Wrapping her arms around his back she sighed into his chest as she felt his soft lips brush against her neck.
“You’re not wrong Max.”
Slowly he pulled away from her as his eyes searched for answers from her beautiful face.
“Come inside.”
Taking his hand she led him though her window and onto her bed.
They sat beside each other for several seconds in silence before she took his hand and placed it over her heart.
Shyly he gazed down as his palm felt the increasing rapid heartbeat that pounding away just below the surface of her thin nightgown.
“Do you feel that Max?”
Slowly he nodded as she took her hand and did the same to him.
“Your heart beats the same as mine…your mind …your body …the feelings you have are all very …human.”
“But you said – “
“You are a hybrid…which means that you are human but not just like any human. You are incredibly special. You can do amazing things Max. You saved my life. There is nothing wrong or scary about you …if anything you are … extraordinary.”
Removing his hand from her chest he cupped her cheek as his voice dipped low.
“Extraordinary …to you?”
Moved by the sheer closeness of him she nodded silently as he flickered his gaze from her wide chocolate eyes to her pale pink lips.
Whispering she tried to find words that wouldn’t frighten him.
“Max …because you possess these …unique powers there are people out there that want to …that would like to …
“Study me… lock me away …like on TV.”
Holding his hand in hers she nodded again wishing things were different.
“It’s because of me… because you saved me. You Isabel and Michael were in hiding all these years. No one ever suspected anything. You lived your lives protecting this secret from everyone…your parents, friends. No one knew …that is until you saved me. There were witnesses that saw the gun …heard the shot. Now the sheriff …even the damn FBI are here watching the three of you. All because of me.”
Her voice cracked as she tried to keep the tears from coming to the surface.
Taking her face in his hands he forced her to look at him.
“I must really have cared about you to risk everyone finding out. To risk the lives of my sister and Michael.”
His tone was so deep and quiet …his hands so warm and protective she thought she would melt in his embrace.
Closer he moved in so their lips were but a breath apart as his eyes began to slowly shut.
“Liz?”
Taking a deep breath her eyes too fell closed as she felt the soft brush of his mouth on hers.
“Everything is so crazy and I-I don’t understand anything but there is one thing I do know…I would do it again.”
Breathing out forcefully she parted her lips inviting him in for a deeper kiss as he laced his fingers through her hair loving how she trembled in his hands.
He broke their embrace to tell her exactly how he felt at that moment because somewhere deep in his heart he knew it was something she needed to know.
“Liz If being what ever it is that I am means that you are here with me now... then I wouldn’t change a thing.”
“Max - "
Opening his eyes he stared lovingly at her bewildered by the intensity of the moment feeling finally that at least a tiny piece of him was whole again.
“Besides I have a strong feeling in a way on that day …it was you that saved me.”
