Author's Note: Feedback Please, good or bad... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * * * * * "convinced of this deception i've always been a fool i fear this love reaction just like u said i would" * * * * * It was 15 minutes before the movie started and Liz and Maria were closing up the cafe that night.Liz was humming to herself while she cleaned the milkshake machine and Maria was cleaning,or trying to anyway,the stains of a Men-in-Blackberry pie which had landed on her uniform, while some jocks were having a launch-the-pie competition earlier in the day.Max and Isabel waited in the corner booth of the cafe for the two girls to finish up,and Michael who was late,as usual. "This day sux,"she mumbled to herself when the stains refused to budge.She was definitely not in a good mood,and having to wait half an hour for Michael didn't help either. Just then,the door to the cafe jangled as Michael opened it and sauntered in. "Well,at last Mr.I'm-SO-important-the-whole-world-can-wait decides to show up!He's half-an-hour late and he doesn't even apologise! Typical!!!What,I ask you,gives him the right to swagger around like the whole world is his?!"Maria fumed. "Well,what gives you the right to comment on my rights?"Michael shot back. "I have every right to!" "And why is that?Do you really have to stick your nose into everyone's business?I swear,sometimes you are just so nosy!"Michael sneered . "Me?!You're calling ME nosy?! "Maria's face was turning a dangerous shade of red by now." For your information,Michael-I'm-so-rude-that's- why-I'm-SUCH-a-popular-guy-Guerin,I was speaking for the behalf of everyone here!!!You can't just make everyone wait half an hour for you,and then walk in and pretend as if you didn't do anything wrong!"Maria shrieked as she took a step forward and jabbed an accusing finger at Michael's chest. ""Well,I think if everyone else here has something to say,they'll say it to me themselves.I don't think they need you to be their spokesperson,"he snapped back as he took a step forward and looked down at her,so now they were eye to eye."And what is your problem with me anyway?Why do you always have to get on my case?You're always shrieking at me for some thing or other!Don't you know how irritating your voice sounds?Why do you have to get so worked up and start shrieking at me everytime I do some little thing wrong?!Oops!But that IS your middle name isn't it - Maria "Shrieky" DeLuca ?"he smirked. "Sh-...shh-shrieky?"Maria spluttered."Well,you're WRONG!!!I am not SHRIEKING!!!I just happen to be talking a little LOUDLY!!!"Maria shrieked and punctuated every sentence with a sharp jab to Michael's chest.Her long nails made Michael wince,but still,he couldn't help grinning at her contradictory statement.She was practically shrieking in his ear by now! "Just wipe that grin off your face before I do the honours!What is *MY* problem?!Why am *I* so irritating?!Well,you're not exactly Mr.Easygoing yourself!You're such an overgrown pest!Why don't you just go crawl in a hole somewhere and stay there?The world would be a much better place!" "I can't." "And why not?" "You probably won't get to see me again,and I wouldn't want you to pine away for me,"he remarked innocently. ""P-p-...PINE for You?!"she spluttered again.Michael grinned wider.He enjoyed making her angry,and she got angry so damn easily.And although he probably won't admit it to himself,secretly he thought she looked really cute when she got all worked up like that - she was about as dangerous as a hissy little kitten..But Maria wasn't finished with him yet. "Did I just hear you say "PINE forYOU??!Hah!!!You wish Guerin!I assure you that will never happen so stop deluding yourself!Do you think just because u're good-looking - "Maria broke off as she realised what she was saying. "So,you think I'm good-looking,huh?"Michael smirked. "I.....well....I.....If it helps,I think a donkey's good-looking too,"she replied sweetly. Isabel was whispering to Max all the while Michael and Maria were getting on each other's case,and now,she was sitting back with a smug look on her face while Max spoke up,"Not even one minute and you two are already bickering like a married couple."That got him glares from the both of them. "Ok,Ok,what I really meant was are you both planning to join us soon cos we've got a movie to catch?"he amended. "Wait!Before we go,lets play this little game that I juz learnt.It's actually something like a quiz 'cause its suppose to reveal what's in your heart or something like that,"Isabel interrupted. "I thought we were gonna be late?"Maria asked suspiciously. "This will take just a minute.Michael,why don't u start?"Max said. "Why me?"Michael asked,narrowing his eyes.He thought there was something fishy about the whole sudden 'game' thing. "Well....uhhh.....you....we..."Max stammered. "Becos u made us wait HALF AN HOUR for you!That's why!"Isabel replied without missing a beat. "I don't know......"Michael hesitated. "Why?Too chicken to take a little quiz.....?"Maria taunted. He glared at her.Oh,if only someone could shut Maria Deluca's mouth permanently....only THEN would the world be a better place.Definitely much quieter. "Fine!Wateva!Just get it over with!"Michael said and plopped down next to Max.Liz squeezed at the other end of the booth and Maria sat across fron her.They were definitely curious about what Isabel had up her sleeve for Michael.Max gave Izzy a look that said"Give him all u've got!" and Izzy smiled knowingly. "Ok Michael,I'll give you a list of words and all u have to do is say the first thing that come to ur mind when u hear the words.Only one rule-u can't take ur time to think,u have to be spontaneous.Ready?"Izzy briefed him. "Yeah,wateva........."Michael said in a bored voice. "Ok......Puffy?" Michael snickered."What is this?Kindergarten?" "Juz answer Michael...."Izzy snapped. "Fine....puffy.....clouds." "Stone?" "Wall." "Sad?" "Hank." "School?" "Prison." "Hot?" "Me."A loud snort was heard from the other end of the booth. "Let's continue......red?" "Tabasco sauce." "Mud?" "Pies." "Cute?" A picture of Maria shrieking at him popped into his mind."Urrrrrrggh..............ok,ok,"he said when Izzy glared at him."Hmmmm.....cute kitten?Yeesh!"A few sniggers came from the other end of the booth again. "Annoying?" Michael looked over at Maria and gave a smug grin. "Girls."Maria shot him a dirty look.He locked eyes with her,as if daring her to disagree.Her sea-green eyes darkened.Funny how he never noticed earlier how her eyes changed color when she was angry.He suddenly found he couldn't look away....... Isabel's voice slowly faded into the background.Everyone else disappeard.There was only Maria and her incredible eyes....... At that moment,Isabel's voice sounded so faraway.He was answering her in automode now........ "Beautiful?" "Eyes."Her eyes were really beautiful....an amazing green framed by thick,long lashes.But what was so fascinating was the depth in her eyes.He could go on looking into them forever,and ever,and ever..... "Gold?" "Hair."Funny also how he never noticed how much her hair resembled spun gold.He wanted to run his hands thru it...... "Soft?" "Mouth."Not to mention a mouth that begged to be kissed. By this time,everyone,was leaning forward,eager to hear what was coming,but Michael was too busy gazing at Maria to notice. "Hate?" "Love."Sometimes he felt like he hated her for being his constant cause of confusion,and that she could easily break down the wall that he had built between himself and the rest of the world.She was the only person who could make him feel so happy yet so angry at the same time.But then,he once heard somebody say that there was fine line between love and hate.Was that crap really true?Michael was too deep in his own thoughts,he didn't see what was coming. "Love......" "Maria."Michael snapped out of his dreamy state when he realised what he had just said. *Shit!!!*Where did THATcome from?! The room was so silent u could hear a pin drop.Then came a tiny squeak from Maria.Shocked was a mild word to describe how she looked.Her mouth opened and closed like a goldfish,but no words came out.Everyone was staring at him in shock.Michael started to sweat.Did he really said what he thought he just said?He looked over at Max who raised his eyebrows questioningly. "I....I was....It was just....well,I...."he stammered."I.....I thought u said hate....Yes!Yes!I meant hate her,nothing to do with love,nothing at all!"Michael said defensively. "It's ok Michael,u don't need to explain.Probably just a slip of the tongue.We believe u.Really....."Isabel reassured him,but there was a purely satisfied look on her face. "This is bull !!!This game is so lame!I can't believe I actually agreed to play along!"Michael snapped. "Let's get going or we're gonna be late for the movie,"He jumped out of the booth and rushed out of cafe,as if there was a pack of wolves on his heels. The door jangled close behind him.Once he was outside,he took in several gulps of the cool night air.His head stopped spinning. "Now,Guerin.......what the HELL was that about?!!?!?!" The End |
