Part 1
Her life was supposed to be simple. A 16-year-old high school girl was
supposed to be going to school dances, football games and hanging out with
friends. Going to the movies on a Saturday night or to the caf� for a milk
shake. That was exactly the life that she had, and she hated every minute of
it.
Liz Parker was bored with her life. Of course, it seemed perfect to anyone
who knew her. She was the daughter of a very respectable family and
therefore lived in a beautiful house. Her boyfriend was no other than the
star quarter back for their football team. Liz never was denied anything she
wanted. Yes, her life was perfect. But to Liz it was missing something. She
never complained, out loud that is. She knew she should be happy and so she
pretended to be.
The only things that Liz was happy with were her friends. Maria and Alex
were the best. She had known them her entire life. When she wasn�t with
Kyle, she was with them. They did everything and anything together. Alex was
just like one of the girls. Of course that made some people think he was
gay, but we knew the truth. He was just the perfect guy to be friends with.
One night after one of Kyle�s games, which of course they won, the gang
decided to go to Kit�s, a local soda shop. They made the best milk shakes in
town and their burgers were to die for. Maria, Liz, Alex, Kyle, Kyle�s buddy
Sean, and his girlfriend Rebecca all piled into one booth. It was a tight
squeeze but no one seemed to mind. After they ordered, Liz got up to use the
restroom. The rest of the gang were just laughing and having a good time
that was until the next group of people walked in the door.
The group in the booth got quiet as they watch them walk in. They all wore
leather jackets. First, there was Tess, the curly haired blonde. She had her
hair swept back in a lose ponytail with strands hanging out. Her lips were
dark red and she was smiling slightly. Then there was Max. His hair was
greased back and looked almost black. He was the shy one of the group,
although if you messed with him, he was likely to take your head off.
Lastly, there was Michael. His hair was unruly, as if it would be against
his nature to comb it at all. He was laid back. He didn�t seem to care what
anyone thought.
The group walked up to the counter.
�Give me three burgers to go,� Michael said and turned to face the booth
that Kyle and his friends were sitting in. As Kyle looked up at him, Michael
just stared him down. Michael laughed when he saw the rest of the people at
the table look away. They were all scared of him, but not Kyle.
�What are you looking at man?� Kyle asked.
Michael just smiled back. He rested his elbows on the counter and still
looked towards Kyle�s table. He enjoyed getting people riled up. It was the
only fun thing to do in that town, well except for racing.
�You have some kind of problem?� Kyle asked getting out of his seat. Just
then, Liz came back from the bathroom. She walked out front to see Kyle
standing next to some guy. They looked as if they were going to fight right
then and there.
�Kyle?� Liz asked and both of the men looked over at her. She first looked
to Kyle and saw the angry look on his face. Then she turned to see who this
guy was that obviously had pissed him off. When she saw his face, she froze.
He was incredibly sexy with his wild eyes and hair. His devilish smile
almost knocked her off of her feet.
When Michael heard that voice, he had to turn around to look where it came
from. The minute he laid eyes on her, his heart leaped up into his throat.
She was breath taking, even if she was a sweater girl. Her dark hair hung in
a ponytail, which reached her mid back. Her dark glossy eyes first went to
the man next to him and then landed on him. Under her stare, he felt naked.
Why was she making him feel this way? Girl like her normally disgusted
him.
Liz gathered herself and walked towards Kyle. �What�s going on?� Liz asked
him.
�This weird greasy guy has a staring problem that I need to fix,� Kyle
growled.
�Kyle, honey, HE is not worth your time,� Liz said looking at Michael is
disgust. �Why don�t you guys just leave? You don�t belong here anyway.� She
said as she spun her head around and grabbed Kyle�s hand. She led him over
to their table and they both sat down.
�We have just as much a right to be here as you,� Tess spat at Liz.
�Well, your kind isn�t welcome here so just get out!� Kyle yelled.
Finally, their food was done, and Michael grabbed the bag. He got up and
walked back over to Kyle�s table. He bent down and spat in Kyle�s shake.
Kyle got red with anger as he jumped up from the table. Sean grabbed Kyle�s
arm to stop him from getting into any trouble. Michael just smiled. He took
one last look at Liz who was staring at him in disbelief. He then turned and
walked out the door with Tess and Max on his heels.
Part 2
Liz watched as they left and in her mind she couldn�t believe how sexy he
was. She didn�t understand why she was so attracted to this guy and when he
spit into Kyle�s milkshake, it only turned her on. She couldn't rationalize
it. She felt horrible for feeling that way, but no matter how hard she
tried, she couldn't stop it. She hoped that Kyle and the rest of her friends
hadn't noticed that she was completely side tracked. She couldn't get him
out of her head. What the hell was wrong with her?
Sean turned to Kyle �Why were you starting something with him? You should
really watch your back with him, man.�
�I�m the star quarterback of our football team and you think some greasy
nobody is going to make me look like a wimp. You�ve got to be kidding me.�
Kyle yelled looking around to everyone sitting in the booth. As Kyle looked
at the door where the other gang just left through, he mumbled, �They
haven�t see the last of me.� Kyle looked at Liz who seemed to be studying
the table intently. He was pissed, having Liz see that Michael spit in his
drink and him not doing anything about it made it ten times worse. He
couldn't look like a fool in front of his girl. Michael was gonna pay for
doing that to him.
Michael was silently walking besides his gang not really listening. Who was
that girl? And why was he so attracted to a sweater girl 'Get over it
Guerin, she was disgusted by you. You should know better.' Tess�s voice had
brought Michael back to reality. She was looking at him like she was waiting
for an answer, but he had no idea what she said. He looked at her and said,
�Huh, did you say something?� �Weren�t you listening to me� Tess whined.
Michael rolled his eyes as a response.
� I said, Do you believe those people, talking to us that way? Why is it
they think they�re better than us? Especially that girl, I mean who does she
think she is Miss America?� Michael just grunts. Feeling the tension
building between Tess and Michael, Max finally spoke up, �Let�s get going,
or else we�ll have to hear Isabel�s mouth.� They all continue to walk back
to their hangout in silence. But it was anything but silent in Michael's
head. He kept going over what had happened tonight and couldn't help but
smile at the look on her face when she had seen him. He knew it was
impossible, but she seemed to stare at him with a look that really didn't
say she was disgusted. Like Maybe, she was as interested in him as he was in
her. But that couldn't be true. All girls like her hated guys like him; it
was the way of things. He had never seen a pony tailed sweater girl go for a
greasy guy like him. He was supposed to be revolted at just the mere site of
her, so why wasn't he? Finally, they reached their destination. Michael was
happy because he had to stop thinking about that chick; his brain was
starting to hurt.
Part 3
Liz woke up startled. She went in the bathroom to take a shower, a cold
shower. As the cold water ran down here body, all she could think about was
her dream. As the images started to flash through her mind, her body was
getting all hot and tingly. The cold water wasn�t cooling her off anymore,
so she turned off the water and got dressed and crept out her window. Maybe,
a walk on a cool night will help her cool off and stop thinking about
Michael. She doesn�t understand why her body was reacting to him like this
especially since she never kissed him. Hell, she never even spoke to him.
All she knew was she wanted him bad. �I have to stop torturing myself like
this.� What am I thinking, he wouldn�t want to have anything to do with a
�good girl� like me. �Just clear your head and maybe I won�t think about him
any more�. Once her mind was clear images of her dream came flooding back to
her.
//Michael was standing behind her and first started caressing her shoulders
and then slowly moved up and down her arm.//
She remembered everywhere he touched her in her dream sparked electricity.
She couldn�t believe how real it felt.
//His strokes were slow and teasing; when she couldn�t take it anymore she
turned around and attacked his lips.//
Just remembering the dream made her head fuzzy.
//He then pulled away from her abruptly and started to slowly unbutton her
shirt and kiss the skin that was exposed.//
�Stop it� she screamed at herself, but more images came to her.
//Her shirt is now off and he lays her down slowly on her bed and starts to
tenderly kiss her with soft butterfly kisses all over her making her body
burn with desire. She couldn�t take it anymore and started whimpering and
moaning softly. Then she didn�t feel him on her anymore. That�s when she
realized her eyes were closed. She slowly opened her eyes and saw him
looking at her with an amused smile on his face.//
Liz started to run, she couldn�t cool her body down. She feels more
frustrated then she did after she woke up from her dream. She couldn�t
believe the feelings he stimulated in her and it was only a dream.
//After seeing the amused look on his face she sat up and tossed him on his
back and ripped off his shirt. First, she softly kissed him on his chest and
stomach and the more her body started to react to the closeness of their
bodies, she became aggressive. She nibbled and licked at his nipples. When
she heard him moan she explored his body, she unbuttoned his pants and
slowly eased her hand in his boxers and smiled against his chest, because
she attained the same reaction to him that he was arousing in her. With this
knowledge, she became bolder and started to kiss, nibble, and licked all the
way down to the top of his pants. She slowly pulled down his pants and
boxers planting kisses as she traveled down. She was getting close to her
destination, Michael gasped and pulled her up to him and started to kiss her
hungrily. He removed the remaining article of clothing from her body and
placed her gently on her back. He used his knees to spread her legs open so
that he could fit in between her perfectly. Their bodies melded together
perfectly. He trailed wet kisses down her neck until he reached the center
of her breast and traced his tongue around her breast. She couldn�t take it
anymore, so she positioned herself so that he was in front of her entrance.
He slowly eased in at first then Liz picked up the speed. Just as her body
felt like it was about to explode from ecstasy, she woke up.//
Liz had stop running and placed her hands on her knees. She had to catch her
breath. She didn�t know if her shortness of breath was because of her
flashback of her dream or from running. Either way, all she knows is that
for the first time in her life she felt frustrated. Kyle had never made her
feel this way. There were times when he would insinuate on taking their
relationship to the next level, but she never wanted to or maybe she just
never wanted him. Not in the sexual sense. She couldn�t grasp why this guy
caused so much chaos to her senses and body. She never really met him, never
had a conversation with him. All she knew about him was he belongs to some
motorcycle gang and that Kyle hates his guts. She tried to convince herself
that maybe that�s why she felt like this, why she was so fascinated. Maybe
the idea of not knowing him was intriguing. Maybe once she had the privilege
to know him, maybe then she would be able to get over this obsession. After
her breathing became normal, she continued her walk. After about 10 minutes
later, just as all images and feelings she had experienced during and after
her dream started to subside, she collided into someone.
Part 4
Michael shot up. He was drenched in sweat and his mouth was completely dry.
He had to look around to remember where he was. He was safe in his own bed,
alone. It had all been a dream. It had to be a dream, yet it felt so real.
He took a deep breath and got up out of bed. He headed for the kitchen to
grab a glass of water. He desperately needed a cool drink. Michael gulped
down the crisp cool water and returned to his room.
He tried to lie back down, but his dream kept coming back to him. Not that
he minded, because it was one hell of a dream, but he wanted to get some
rest. But he couldn�t forget. It was just too sweet for him to.
He had been standing in the caf� when she came walking in. There was no one
there but the two of them. Him and Liz; she walked over to him with extra
sway in her hips. She looked like a goddess. She was wearing leather from
head to toe, which by the way was hugging every inch of her. There was no
talking at all. She came up to him and began to kiss down his neck. He could
still feel the way her kisses warmed his skin as if it had actually
happened.
Michael jumped out of bed. He had to do something. He couldn�t just sit
there and dwell on his dream. He had to clear his mind of her. He had to
clear his mind of Liz. Michael grabbed his leather coat and snuck out his
window. Once he hit the pavement, he wasn�t thinking clearly. Even though he
left his house to get away from her and his dream, it still followed him.
Her kisses moved up to his lips, as they got more and more intense. She
slowly began to unzip her leather jacket, showing him that she had nothing
on underneath. She then moved on to him, removing his jacket first and then
slowly pulling his shirt over his head. That�s when she attacked him,
practically throwing him on top of the counter.
Michael broke out into a run; he had to clear his mind. Why on earth was he
dwelling on this? It was just a dream. A dream about little goody Liz who
was probably at home this very minute sleeping in her little pink nightgown
with matching pink slippers sitting at the foot of her bed. Or could she be
thinking of him? No, not likely. In fact, there was no way in hell. It was
probably the first one. She is sleeping soundly while he roamed the streets.
Michael turned the corner and looked up when he heard the sound of
footsteps. He pulled out his knife, he was always prepared. But whom he saw
made him do a double take. There was no way in hell.
Part 5
He stopped dead in his tracks. There was no way, no way in hell this was
happening. Yet, as he pinched his arm he knew it was real. He took another
step forward not sure of what his next move should be. This was weird. Not
fifteen minutes ago was he dreaming about this exact person and now she
stood right in front of him. There she stood looking just as good as she had
earlier that night in the caf�.
His feet kept moving forward as his mind screamed at him to stay where he
was. Something was pulling him towards her. She was staring at him in
complete surprise. Of course, she was, it was what 1:00 in the morning, and
he was walking the streets. If he were her, he would be scared for his life.
He wanted to speak to her so badly, but no words escaped his mouth. His feet
finally stopped moving when he was inches away from her. He had no idea what
he was doing. All he knew was that he wanted to be as close to her as
humanly possible.
Michael reached out his hand and slowly touched her beautiful face. He never
took his eyes of hers. She seemed to be welcoming his touch or at least he
hoped so. He pulled her close to him and rested his hands under her chin. He
gently pulled her chin up and bent down to look at her face. He lowered his
head and touched his lips to hers. His mind was screaming at him to stop,
but as soon as he felt her kiss him, back he was in heaven. Her lips tasted
so sweet. Only when he needed air did he break the kiss.
I looked up just as I spotted a figure coming in my direction. 'Who else is
crazy enough to be walking the streets at this time of night' I thought to
myself. When I finally saw the form clearly, I couldn�t believe my eyes. I
close my eyes and rub them. 'I'm just imagining it' I told myself. I look up
and slowly open my eyes again and I see the same face I saw in my dreams.
�What are the chances of this happening� I thought to myself. The same
person in my dreams who had my body and senses out of control is walking
towards me at a steady pace. I couldn�t move, I couldn�t speak, all I could
think about is that I want him to kiss me.
As he got nearer, I could feel the heat from his body. I scream to myself
'This is wrong; you shouldn�t be feeling this way towards him. He not
suppose to be my type.� He was now inches away from me and my body feels
like it�s in overdrive. I just wanted him to be as close to me as humanly
possible.
He reached out and touched my face. He was staring at me intensely. I know I
should be moving away from him, but his eyes and touch holds me in place. I
was shocked that he was looking at me the way he was. I felt so beautiful
under his gaze. All of a sudden, I feel myself moving closer to him; I
finally realize that he�s pulling me closer. �Push him away� I scream to
myself, but the more I look into his beautiful eyes the more I want him to
touch me.
He lifts my chin up towards him and our faces are inches apart. I feel his
warm breath against my lips. I close my eyes as I feel my body react to his
soft caresses when I feel his lips upon mine. All I could do was kiss him
back with the same intensity. He felt so good against me. My mind went
blank; the only person that occupied my thoughts was him.
He broke the kiss and for some reason I got scared. �What if he thought this
was a mistake?� I asked myself. �Whoa, where did that thought come from. I
shouldn�t even be doing this. This is wrong.� I tell myself. �But why does
it feel so right?�
Part 6
Michael pulled back from the kiss. What the hell was he doing? Why had he
just kissed this girl who he didn�t even know? The worst part was that he
was incredibly attracted to a sweater wearing, ponytail swinging, straight A
preppy girl. Not to mention the fact that he liked that kiss just a little
too much.
Liz brought her finger to her lips, softly touching where his lips had just
been. She tried to think, but her mind and body were still blurring from
that amazing kiss. She couldn�t form any words, so she did the only thing
she could do. She slapped him.
�Ouch!� Michael screamed after her hand had made contact. �What the
hell?�
The minute she had hit him she wanted to apologize, but then thinks better
of it. If she said anything, it would just complicate the situation more.
She tries to act angry. �Why the hell did you do that?� Liz yelled. �Do you
just walk up to any girl and start kissing them? Who do you think I am, one
of your hoes? I am better then that!� Liz ranted on trying to act as though
he disgusted her. Of course, she left out the fact that she wanted that kiss
as much as he must have. That if she wanted to, she could have stopped the
kiss. She could have walked away from him. But something about that dream
made her want to stay. Something about that dream made her want to feel what
it was like to kiss those lips.
By this time, Michael was pissed off. First she kisses him, then hits him,
and now she was calling all the girls he hangs out with hoes, which by the
way was the furthest thing from the truth. �Don�t get your panties in a
bunch! You wanted that kiss so I allowed you to have it. It was so that you
don�t have to fantasize about me anymore while you are kissing Kyle. The way
I see it, I did you a favor,� Michael laughed. He really didn�t feel that
way at all. He really had wanted to kiss her just to taste her lips. After
his dream, he couldn�t help but crave her. He couldn�t figure out what was
wrong with him. Why was he after this girl who is completely the opposite of
him? He was confused.
�Excuse me?� Liz asked not sure if she had heard him right. �You think that
you did me a favor? Well let me tell you that I didn�t even want to kiss
you. I just figured I would let you taste what you could never have!�
�Never have?� Michael laughed. �I can have you any time I want, because it
is plain to see that you want me.� Michael said, as he looked her up and
down.
Liz was furious. She lifted her hand to slap him again. She wasn�t quick
enough; by the time her hand was in the air, Michael had grabbed her wrist.
Because of the way he was holding it, their bodies were pushed together. Liz
gasped at their closeness. Then she did the only thing her body would let
her do, she kissed him. Now her oh so simple life was more complicated then
she ever thought it could be. She was cheating on Kyle and kissing his
enemy. How could this be right? All she knew was that she was going to
follow her heart and it was leading to Michael.
Part 7
Liz lies in bed looking at the clock. Her mom should be checking in on her
in a few minutes. When she heard the doorknob jiggle and then slowly turn,
she pretends she�s sleeping. She feels her mom kiss her on her forehead and
then leaves closing the door behind her. She waits ten more minutes, before
she pulls the covers down and get out of bed fully clothed.
She sneaks out the window and heads for her and Michael�s secret spot.
They�ve been meeting each other there, ever since the incident in the park
where they first kissed last month. They couldn�t stay away from each other.
Liz couldn�t stay away from him.
The funny thing is that she didn�t feel guilty. Well maybe a little, but it
wasn�t because she was cheating on Kyle with Michael. It was more like she
felt like she was cheating on Michael with Kyle. Michael may not know it,
but he had her heart. She thinks she may be in love with him.
The strange thing is she�s been going out with Kyle for over three months
and he never made her feel the way Michael does. When she�s with Michael,
she feels like she�s the only one that exists in his life at that moment. He
would make her feel special, something Kyle never did. All Kyle ever worried
about was his friends and football, even when they were alone that�s all he
talked about. She was never first when it came to Kyle.
With Michael she is. It scared her sometimes how much she loved him, because
it�s happening so fast. In her heart, she knows it�s right.
When she arrived at the cliffs, she noticed she was the first to arrive. So,
she laid the blankets down by the opening of the cave. This is where they
always sat because it was so beautiful and romantic here. Nobody ever comes
up here, because there�s nothing but desert.
Michael was the one who suggest this place, because he told her he would
come up here to get away from everything and everybody and just stare at the
stars. None of his friends knew about this place and that statement made her
feel even more important to him, because he wanted to share it with her.
She stood over by the cliffs and looks up at the stars and smile. She felt
so free and alive up here.
She laughed to herself because she remembered last week when her and Michael
were making out, she wanted to go farther, but he stopped her. She felt hurt
so she pulled away. He must have seen the hurt in her eyes because he pulled
her near him so she could look him in the eyes and said, �I want to, don�t
get me wrong, but I want it to be special just as special as you. You
deserve so much more then this.� He pointed around the cave. She didn�t
think she could love him more, but at that moment, she had.
She was brought out of her reminiscing by the feel of leather sliding on her
bear shoulders. She knew who it was and leaned against his chest feeling
like she was finally home.
Part 8
�Hey,� Liz said not even looking back to see who it was. Of course, she
knew. She knew the feel of his leather jacket and the way she fit right into
his arms.
�Hey to you too,� Michael said turning her around to face him. He leaned
down and gently grazed her lips with his own. He took a seat on the ground
and pulled her into his lap. Michael slowly ran his hands through her hair
and over her lips. It felt perfect to have her in his arms. He couldn�t help
the peaceful feeling that came when she was around. It was a feeling he had
ached for when she was not around and a need to be with her every time he
saw her. Of course, it wasn�t possible to just go grab her and kiss her
every time her saw here. He and Liz could only see each other when no one
else was around. Michael wanted to tell the entire world that he now had the
most beautiful woman ever, but that was just unrealistic.
�What are you thinking about?� Liz asked staring at his face.
Michael smiled. Liz could read all of his emotions easily. He brushed back
the hair that had fallen over her eyes, �You baby, only you.� Michael bent
down and kissed her forehead.
It was another Friday night. Liz sat with her friends in the bleachers and
Kyle and the other guys played on the field. She really hated football she
just didn�t see the point in it. A bunch of guys running around pushing each
other down and slapping each others butts never really seemed to be very
important. But of course it was a matter of life and death for Kyle who was
never really good at anything else.
Liz still didn�t know why she was there. She should be off with Michael
somewhere having a good time. Just the thought of Michael made her smile.
She never knew that someone like Michael could make her feel so special and
so wanted. It wasn�t the same with Kyle. Kyle treated her like an arm
decoration rather than a girlfriend.
So why was she still with Kyle? The answer was simple. Michael was not
accepted. He wasn�t one of them, one of the in crowd. He�s rebellious town
boy who is considered nothing but trouble. Her friends wouldn�t accept him,
her parents wouldn�t accept him, and the town wouldn�t accept him with her.
Not that it was only the people that she hung out with wouldn�t accept him,
it went both ways. What would happen if Michael�s friends knew that they
were sneaking around visiting each other at night? Making out in the dark
together? They would for sure dismiss Michael all together.
So, Liz was forced to pretend that she was happy with Kyle. Every time he
kissed her, it made her want to gag and now here she was sitting here on
another Friday night watching him play his stupid game.
�Oh. My. God!� Liz heard a girl next to her say. Liz turned to look in the
direction that the girl was looking. To her surprise and her dread, it was
Michael and his friends. Not that she dreaded seeing Michael, the opposite
actually, but they never came to games. Liz quickly turned back to the game
and pretended not to notice that they had walked in at all.
Michael walked through the gates followed by Tess and Max. He strolled over
to the side of the bleachers. He was trying desperately to find her. He knew
she would be here tonight. She would be here watching the boy wonder play
his little game. He hated knowing that she was still going out with Kyle
that little prick. He was by no means a man at all. He was a little boy.
Yet, Liz decided that it would take the suspicion off the two of them.
Finally, Michael spotted her in the top of the bleachers. She was staring
out at the field. At Kyle no doubt. Although Liz and he were now seeing each
other, he still got the feeling that she liked Kyle. Of course Liz denied it
all the time, but really he understood why she would want to keep Kyle. He
was what everyone in town wanted her to have, not a grease monkey like him.
No one would allow sweet and innocent Liz Parker to date the big bad Michael
Guerin.
Michael nodded for Tess and Max to follow him and he made his way up the
bleachers. He went to the very top and took the seats right behind Liz,
Maria and Alex.
Liz saw him come up. What the hell was he doing? He knew he couldn�t be
anywhere near her. Liz cleared her throat as she felt Michael�s knee touch
her back. It felt so good to have him near her.
Michael sat down directly behind Liz and let her know it too. He made sure
his leg was touching her slightly. Not enough to draw any attention, but
enough to let her know he was there and wanted to be close to her.
�Mikey, what are we doin� here?� Tess asked.
�Watching the game,� Michael said back as he gave her a look that said
shut-the-hell-up-or-I-will-kick-your-ass.
�We never watched a game before,� Tess explained.
�Well we are now!� Michael yelled. Everyone in the bleachers turned and
looked at him. He just smiled back.
Finally, the game was over. Liz�s bottom had fallen asleep 45 minutes ago
and she was relived to be able to stand up. She slowly walked down the
bleachers and bumped right into Tess. She hadn�t meant to do it at all, but
by the look on Tess�s face, Liz was in big trouble.
�What the hell?� Tess asked, as she looked Liz up and down.
�Oh�I�m sorry I didn�t mean to-�Liz said but was cut off.
�You didn�t mean to, but you did. You better watch where the fuck you are
going!� Tess yelled as she stepped closer to Liz. Liz back up and back right
into a rock hard chest. She looked up to see Kyle staring down at her.
�What�s going on?� Kyle asked.
�I�ll tell you what�s going on. Your girlfriend here can�t seem to watch
where she is walking,� Tess said with a disgusted look on her face.
�I think you should get out of her face,� Kyle said towering over Tess.
�Hey, what do you think you are doing?� Michael stepped up between Tess and
Kyle. �Don�t get in her face.�
�Then tell your little girl here to leave my girlfriend alone,� Kyle said
now stepping in front of Michael.
Liz stood there in silence. She just stared at Michael. Michael had just
defended Tess. She didn�t know what to think. Here Tess was getting all in
her face and Michael defended her. It pissed her off. How dare he? She
thought that he actually cared about her.
�You had better get out of my face,� Michael warned.
�And if I don�t?� Kyle asked stepping closer.
�Then this,� Michael punched Kyle right in the eye. Kyle fell backwards to
the ground.
�Kyle!� Liz screamed as she ran over to him. She picked up his head from off
the ground and put it in her lap. She looked up at Michael. She had tears in
her eyes, not from what Michael had done to Kyle, but the realization that
Michael must not really care that much about her if he wouldn�t defend her.
Michael saw the unshed tears in her eyes and wondered what they were for.
Was she actually concerned for Kyle? Michael shook his head. �Now you know
not to mess with any of us,� Michael said staring at Kyle.
�Just get the hell out of here you disgusting grease monkey pricks!� Liz
screamed. She couldn�t handle them being there anymore. She looked Michael
dead in the eye and tried her hardest to make him understand how angry she
really was. But when she saw his eyes, they were a mixture of sadness and
jealousy. She watched as Tess, Max and finally Michael walked away and out
of the gates.
Part 9
Michael stood there waiting not sure what was going on. They had always met
up at around midnight, but Liz was nowhere around. He was starting to get
worried until he heard the sound of a car engine. Thinking it was Liz, he
ran towards the sounds. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw who it
really was. It was Kyle with a car full of his football buddies. This didn�t
look good.
Kyle stepped out of the car and as he did, his buddies followed. Michael
began to back up, but it was already too late. Kyle and Paulie lunged at him
throwing him to the ground. Michael fought the best he could, but the two of
them held him down. The other two men in the car came out and joined Kyle
and Paulie.
�You are one stupid piece of SHIT you know that?� Kyle laughed. �Well I�ll
teach you to let your bitch talk shit to my girlfriend and to lay a hand on
me!� Kyle started punching Michael with all his might. Then he got up and
signaled for the others to finish the job.
By the time the guys were finished, Michael was a bloodied mess. As the car
drove off, Michael struggled to get off the ground. He was able to pull
himself up and start the long walk home. He would be lucky if he made it
there before bleeding to death.
Liz was almost asleep when she heard a noise outside on her balcony. She
grabbed the baseball bat that she kept by her bed and walked over to the
window. She looked outside and saw a figure sitting in her chair. Liz slowly
opened the window.
�W�Whose there?� she asked trying to sound calm.
�It�s me,� she heard a low voice say. It was Michael.
�What do you want?� Liz asked looking at him. He was hunched over and she
had no idea why.
�I need your help,� he said in pain. �Can I please come in?� Liz could here
the urgency in his voice and decided she had better let him in.
Liz went back in the window and waited for Michael to follow. Once he
climbed in, he turned to face her. �Oh my God Michael! What happened to
you?� Liz asked as soon as she saw the bruised and bloodied face.
�I just�I fell�
�You fell? Michael you didn�t fall, what happened?� Liz asked. She wondered
why he was lying to her.
�I did, I wasn�t watching where I was going and I fell,� Michael lied. He
didn�t want to tell her about Kyle. He didn�t have to worry about that, he
would get his revenge.
Liz dashes to her bathroom and comes back out with a first aid kit. Even
though she was pissed off at him, she still didn�t want to see him in pain.
She switches the lamp on that�s sits on her desk and points light at
Michael�s face. She needed to see how bad it was. She doesn�t believe he
just fell. Michael is not the clumsy type.
She gently takes Michael�s chin and say, �This may sting.� She puts peroxide
on his wound and he winces. �Are you going to tell me what really happened?�
Looking him in the eyes. She wanted to see if he was lying to her.
�I told you. It�s nothing to worry about.� Liz stands up abruptly.
�Why are you here? Why didn�t you go to your girlfriend�s?� Michael was
stunned. What is she talking about? She�s my girlfriend.
Michael quickly stands up, but regrets it when the pain over powers him. He
sits back down when a wave of dizziness washes over him.
Liz runs to him seeing how weak he is tells him to lie down. He refuses at
first, but with Liz�s persistence, he willing lies back.
When the room stopped spinning he asks, �What did you mean by girlfriend? I
consider you mine, even if it can�t be public.�
�What about Tess?� Liz asks with tears in her eyes. �She was about to kick
my ass and you protected her. I thought you loved me, but I know it�s not
true.�
�I do love you. With all my heart.� Liz wipes at her eyes. �Come here,�
Michael whispers.
Liz walks slowly to him and gently sits on the bed. She didn�t want to shake
it too much in case it cases Michael pain.
�Why did you go to the game? I thought you hated that.� Michael smiles and
says, �I do.� He turns towards Liz cautiously to look at her beautiful face.
�I just wanted to check on you,� he says sheepishly.
Liz shakes her head and say, �Why? Don�t you trust me?� Michael sighs. He
doesn�t know how he�s going to explain this without him sounding like a
jealous asshole. �Why can�t you just break up with him?�
Liz narrows her eyes. �Is that what this is all about? Did Kyle do this to
you? If he did I�ll�..�
�No!� Michael says forcefully. �I just wish we could just run away together.
Leave this hell hole of a town.�
Liz gets off the bed and walks around it. She slowly strips Michael down to
his boxers and say, �Your staying here tonight. I want to keep an eye on
you.�
She locks her door and turns the lights off before she joins Michael in bed.
After five minutes of silence, Michael asks, �Run away with me Liz.�
�We can�t do that? We have responsibilities here.� Michael shakes his head.
�You have responsibilities. I only have you.� Liz leans into him and says,
�Go to sleep. You�ll feel better in the morning.�
Part 10
Liz woke up to an empty bed. Of course, she wasn't surprised at all. She got
up and dressed for school quickly. Today she was going to take a big step.
Today she was breaking up with Kyle. She wasn't doing this for Michael, but
for herself. She couldn�t pretend to still care about Kyle so she thought it
was best to let him go.
Liz arrived at school 15 minutes before school was supposed to start. She
knew Kyle and his friends always played basketball before school started in
the gym. She straightened her sweater and took a deep breath as she opened
the gym door. What she found shocked her. There was Kyle and two of his
friends, but they weren't playing ball. They were arguing with another group
of people who Liz knew well. It was Michael, Tess, and Max.
Liz ran over to the group. "What's going on?� She looked over to Michael who
would not look her in the eye.
"Hey sweetie," Max laughed. "What's going on is plans for tonight."
"Plans for tonight?" she asked confused.
"Yeah," Tess stepped in. " the race!"
"Race?� Liz was so confused.
"Listen, Mickey and your man are racing tonight up at Satan's
Point," Tess explained.
"WHAT? No Kyle you cannot race him," Liz said pointing to Michael. What was
going on? They couldn't race each other they could get hurt.
"Don't worry so much, this greaser couldn't race to save his life," Kyle
laughed as he put his arm around Liz's shoulder.
Liz shoved the arm off of her. "You are not racing!"
"Yes I am!"
"Well I won�t be there to watch," Liz screamed. "And here, take back your
ring! I don't want it anymore, we're over!� She yelled as she removed the
ring from her finger and shoved it towards him.
"Now Liz calm down I-"
"NO! You calm down. We are over!� Liz walked away from the group and out of
the gym.
Michael couldn't believe his ears. Did Liz just break up with Kyle? He
wanted to jump for joy. He turned to Max. "Hey I have to go drain it, be
back in a few.� Michael almost sprinted out of the gym and tried frantically
to find Liz.
He ran down the halls and finally he found her. She was sitting alone on the
schools back steps. He walked up to her slowly. When he got closer, he could
tell that she was crying. He knelt down in front of her. "Hey what's wrong?�
"I can't believe your doing this Michael. You have nothing to prove!"
"Yes I do! Kyle thinks he is a better man, he thinks he can do whatever he
wants. The truth is that he is a better man. He's better at sports, school
and he was even better at getting girls, especially the one that I want,"
Michael smiled. "But he can't always think that way Liz. This is something
he can't beat me at. I've been racing my entire life."
"You are the better man Michael, you don't need to prove that at all."
Michael knew that he did have something to prove, he needed to prove that he
deserved her love. "I love you"
"I love you too," Liz smiled as she hugged him.
"You wanna get out of here?� Michael asked mischievously.
"And go where?� Liz smiled.
"Well I can think of a place where someone�s parents aren't home," Michael
laughed and pulled Liz away from the school building.
They snuck into Liz�s window. Liz stood at the foot of her bed and turned
towards Michael. �Promise me you�re not going to race.� Michael sauntered to
her and lightly touched her face. He doesn�t want to promise anything, he
just wanted to hold her. He took her into his arms and held her tight. He
couldn�t believe how she chose him over every other guy in this town. He
felt like the luckiest man.
Liz griped him firmly, she wanted him safe, and she knew if he took part in
that race, he might end up hurt. He means everything to her. She wanted to
prove that to him. She disentangled herself from him and told him to lie
down. He gave her a quizzical look but obeyed. She climbs up on the bed next
to him and lifted his shirt over his head. She told him to roll over and she
straddled him. She massaged his shoulders first, eventually descending lower
inch-by-inch kneading each muscle.
Michael softly moaned as his body�s tension dissolved away with each touch
from her delicate hands. He felt like he was in heaven, he didn�t know what
she was doing to him, but he liked it and at the same time was scared of it.
She motioned for him to roll over and she started to massage his chest. He
closed his eyes reveling in the feel of her magic fingers.
She slid down to his abdominal with light pressure so not to tickle him. She
unfastens his jeans and slowly glided them down. Michael opened his eyes as
her small hands landed on his harden flesh. He sat up, but Liz climbed up
and shoved him back down.
�Liz, wait,� he said hoarsely.
�I�ve been waiting. I want to make love to you, Michael because I love you
so much that it hurts.� She bowed her head trying to hide her tears. �Don�t
you want me?� She asks in a soft voice. Michael lifted her chin up so she
could gaze into his eyes. �I do want you. I love you with all my heart.� A
tear slips down her cheek and he tenderly brushed it away. He softly grazed
her lips with his. She wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss.
Liz opened her mouth to his prodding tongue.
Michael slowly undressed Liz and pulled her underneath him. He wanted this
to be perfect because he knew this was her first time. He felt honored that
she wanted to give herself to him. He slowly kissed her wanting to take his
time. Liz couldn�t believe how good it felt with Michael on top of her. He
was doing incredible things to her body making her ache for him. Michael was
savoring in the taste and feel of Liz�s skin. He didn�t know how long he
would last.
Liz caressed Michael�s back and whispered, �Make love to me, Michael.� He
gazed into her eyes as he positioned himself at her entrance. He searched
her eyes for any doubt, but all he saw was love and trust. He gradually
entered her trying his best not to hurt her. When he reached her barrier, he
asked Liz with his eyes if this is what she really wanted. Liz reached up
and kissed him pushing him deep inside. Liz bit her lip when she felt the
pain wash over her. Michael held still waiting for the pain to subside. He
kissed her tears away and she smiled. Liz began to move experimentally as
Michael moved with her. A moan escaped her lips and Michael kissed her to
keep her quiet. Michael could feel he was about to go over the edge, but he
didn�t want to without Liz. He picked up the momentum and Liz body was
starting to quiver. He knew she was near. He did one last thrust pushing
them both over the edge. Michael wrapped his arms around Liz and pulled her
close. Soon they both had drifted off to sleep.
Liz woke up around 11:00. She rolled over expecting to find Michael, but he
was gone. Liz sat up and looked around the room. That's when she saw the
little piece of paper that was slightly underneath her jewelry box. Liz
jumped out of bed and ran over grabbing the paper.
Dear Liz,
I have to do this Liz. I have to race.
Love,
Michael
Liz felt as if she couldn't breath. She grabbed some clothes, threw them on,
and ran out the window. She had to get to Satan�s point to stop him
