| I jump when my bedroom window opens and Michael climbs in. �What are you doing here?� I blurt out surprised does not cover what I am feeling right now �Looking for Max,� he states �And what was wrong with his window?� I ask raising an eyebrow �It was locked and this was the only one open. Where is he anyway?� �Well him and Isabel went out with MY best friends� I tell him. �And you didn�t go because�� he ask curiously �His lordship has grounded me,� I explain. �Well I guess I go then� he says but makes no move to go. �Hey Michael, you can stay if you want, I mean I got this movie and its meant to be scary. So you could stay and watch it. I mean if you want to. You don�t have to but if you have nothing better�� I trail off �Why not?� he answers �I have nothing better to do� he takes off his jacket and then sits back on my bed. This is really weird. I grab a pillow and stretch out beside him on the bed. If he going to act all casual about lounging on my bed like nothing happened in that dream then so can I. I press the play button on the remote control and the film starts. I stare at the previews as if they are the most interesting thing I have seen and try and ignore the fact that Michael is just a few centimetres away from me. �Oh my god. Don�t go in there. He is right behind you,� I scream at the blonde on the screen. It people like her that give blondes a bad name. I watch the murderer move closer to the blonde with the knife. I turn my head before I have to watch him kill her and dig my nails in Michael�s arm �Is it over?� I ask not willing to look for myself �You can look now,� he tells. I turn round and watch the blonde have her throat sliced. �I feel sick. I thought you said it was over� I cover my neck with my hand and I try not to think about the slicing. �Come on Maria its just a movie� �A scary movie and do you know what I think I read on the box that it was a true story� I tell him and look at the window to see with I could spot the murderer before I turn back to the film. �Michael make it stop,� I scream at him when the murderer starts to kill his next victim. He reaches his arm across me and grabs the remote control. I watch the television as he channel surfs before he stops it on a hockey game. �I don�t think so buddy I am not watching hockey,� I tell him reaching for the remote �I am sorry I don�t remember asking,� he says as he moves the remote beyond my reach �Michael it�s my room so I get to choose what we watch. Look we can do this the easy way or the hard,� I tell him. He doesn�t answer just raise an eyebrow. �Fine be that way,� I tell him before I launch my attack but he ducks out of the way and I go flying off the bed and onto the floor. I swear heard Michael chuckle �You better not be laughing at me,� I warn him �I am not� he looking down at me �Stop laughing at me inside?� I order him folding me arms across my chest. I focus on the pillow behind him and hit him on the head with it and he lands on the floor beside me. �No fair you used your powers� he protests. I poke my tongue out at him before letting the pillow drop on his head on last time. �This is war,� he states before reaching over and tickling me �Michael� stop� Please� air�I ...need�air� I manage to say between giggles �Not in till you admit defeat� he tells me �That�s so unfair. I mean you weigh like twice as much as I do� I cry �And you are practically lying on top of me� We both freeze and I can feel Michael�s chest heaving. I mean he just breathing funny cause of the tickle. Cause I swear that is why my heart is banging against my ribs. It as nothing to with the fact that Michael�s body is pressing against mine. I stare up at him and feel myself drowning in his eyes. I feel him lean his lips down to meet mine and I raise my head eager to melt into him. �Maria we home� Max calls up the stairs. Max and his perfect time damn him. �I should go� Michael says �Yeah I see you to the window� I say dropping back to the floor for a second before following him to the window. �So I see you later?� I ask hopefully. Michael doesn�t answer just gives me a half smile before leaving the way he come in. TBC |
