*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Max was in shock. How could Maria have cancer? And why did she come to him?
"Maria, why did you come here? I mean to me?" he asked. He still wasn't sure
why she came to him.
Maria was still not sure of that herself. Why did she come to Max? She had so
many questions for herself that he didn't hear Max's.
"I'm sorry Max, what did you say?
He repeated himself again and waited for Maria's answer.
"I don't know that myself Max. I just felt compelled to come here." She
answered him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
3 Days Later
Maria was moving her stuff into Max's apartment. After a lot of convincing
Max convinced her to come and live him. He knew that he could heal her. He
didn't know how long it would take because cancer is not something you could
just get rid of with out someone being suspicious.
"Max are you sure this is a good idea?" Maria asked.
"For the millionth time Maria, I think that this is a good idea. I know that
I can heal you, but I can't do it all at once. You know this." He answered.
"Fine, but you have to know one thing. If this does not work, I will kill you
myself." She said joking around. She figured that he could save Liz and Kyle
from gun shot wounds, he could heal her of cancer.
"Right Maria. And how do you plan to do that?" Max said.
After talking a little more Max realized that they were flirting.
"So," Max started getting more serious, "when do you want me to start healing
you?"
"I don't know. How about we start tonight? We could do a little every night.
You know?"
"Yeah, I like that idea." He said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Max gave Maria his room because it was bigger and he moved his things into
the smaller guestroom.
"Max you did not have to give me your room." She protested.
"I know, but it is just that it is bigger and from the looks of things you
look like you have more things then me." He started to laugh.
Maria was getting furious. She hated when people laughed at her.
"Look Max, if you want your room back you can have it."
"No, it is ok, really." He said. He really wanted her to have his room. It
was the least he could do after practically forcing her to move in.
"Are you sure?" she asked one more time.
"Look, Maria, if I am giving you my room, and my stuff is already out, don't
you think I am sure?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"Well, you should be grateful. I did not have to do this. "
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After Maria got all her things settled in, she went to the kitchen to get
something to eat.
After going downstairs, she heads for the kitchen. She opens the refrigerator
to see what Max had. Her eyes immediately saw strawberries, and memories came
flashing back.
She remembered when she and Michael would just be at his house and he would
feed her strawberries. They would do everything together. She missed having
him next to her.
"Ok, get it together DeLuca." She told herself aloud. "He is the one that
left you. You don't need him anymore."
After she was finish talking to herself, Maria got some turkey, provolone
cheese, and some mustard, and made a sandwich.
She was thinking to herself, when Max came into the kitchen. "Well, I see
that you have made yourself at home already."
"Yeah, I guess. I just wish that you could heal me all at once, so I didn't
have to move in. But anyway, what are friends for? You know what I mean?"
"Yes, I know what you mean. But you did not have to agree to move in." he
countered back.
Maria just shrugged her shoulders then went back to eating her sandwich.
"Speaking of healing, do you want me to do some tonight? I mean before I go
to bed because I have to get up in the morning to go to school and then work.
I don't know when I will be back tomorrow night." He said getting more
serious.
"Yeah, we can, just let me finish eating."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Max placed his hand on Maria's stomach and tried to make a connection. Once
he was in, he got a flood of images.
