**************


Michael watched Maria singing and felt proud of her.
His friend was doing a great job, but he had known she
would. 
He glanced out at the crowd ,and saw Isabel from the
back dancing with Alex. He frowned. It shouldn't
bother him that Isabel was dancing with Alex, but it
did. Isabel with someone else bothered the hell out of
him.
Maria's song ended, and the crowd loved her just as he
had known they would. He had owed her this dream for
the way he had treated her this trip.
He walked out on stage and kissed her lips with a
friendly kiss. Maria wanted more, but Michael couldn't
commit just yet, and he wasn't really sure why.

He looked out over the crowd , beginning to frown.
What the hell? What was Isabel wearing?
Michael jumped down off the stage and approached the
area were Isabel was standing and talking to Alex.
"What the hell are you doing?" interrupted Michael,
grabbing Isabel by the arm.
"Michael, what's the matter with you?!" exclaimed
Isabel ,jerking her arm away from Michael.
"What are you doing in that dress? Where's the top to
it?" asked Michael, motioning to the top with his
hand.
Isabel's mouth dropped open, and shut quickly as
irritation with Michael's behavior set in.
"You have no right to question my mode of dress
Michael! Alex likes it don't you Alex?" asked Isabel
looking to Alex.
Alex shook his head and threw up his hands,"Leave me
out of this. I'm no longer interested in what Isabel
wears, I swear. You two work this out...but for the
record just let me state, I think Maria chose
everyone's outfits for tonight , and I think she did
an excellant job."
Alex walked off to where the others were sitting and
joined them.
Maria joined Michael and Isabel.
"What's going on? You two look like your ready to kill
each other," she asked as she observed the seething
looks.
Michael turned to Maria,"Did you pick this outfit for
Isabel?"
Maria grinned, and nodded her head.
"Yep! She can really pull it off with that figure.
Isn't she hot? I'll bet every guy in the place is
drooling over her."
Michael gave her a look that wiped the grin right off
of her face.
"She looks like she is advertising her body! Where is
the rest of the top? I can't believe you chose that
for her," and turning to Isabel said,"And I can't
believe you wore it."
Maria was shocked at Michael's anger over Isabel's
outfit, and she began to feel apprehension building
inside. What was going on here?
"Michael, may I remind you that you have no say over
what I wear or don't wear. I think Maria did a great
job with the clothes for everyone," hissed Isabel in a
lowered voice.
"You forget that I DO have the right to care what you
wear or don't wear Isabel! Don't wear it again!" said
Michael without thinking.
Isabel and Maria both stared at Michael shocked. 
Isabel recovered first.
"You have NO right Michael! You do not get to decide
what I wear or anything else concerning me!" said
Isabel angrily. 
By now the others had gathered closer, and were
staring at Michael and Isabel publicly arguing. In
fact they seemed to have forgotten that anyone else
was around.
"I have the right because you belong to me! Your mine,
and I will not have anyone ogling you, and drooling
over you," said Michael his finger stabbing the air
toward Isabel.
Isabel stopped, and just stared at Michael, just as
everyone else did.
"What did you just say?" she asked him, afraid that
she had misheard him.
Michael blinked and looked around him.
"Oh shit!" he thought, as he realized what he had
said.
Maria looked as if she was going to cry. Instead she
shook her head ,and said to Michael,"You bastard!" 
She ran out of the room with Liz on her heals.
Max went to Isabel and Michael and said,"I think this
needs to be discussed somewhere else, not on the dance
floor of a Vegas club infront of strangers."
"I'm not discussing it at all," said Isabel as turned
and hurried out of the room.

Max turned to Michael who was watching the door Isabel
just exited.
"What was that all about Michael? You are Maria's
boyfriend, but you are yelling at Isabel that she
belongs to you. I thought this 'destiny' stuff was all
over with you two. What gives?"
Michael rubbed his brow , and looked at Max.
"I don't know Maxwell, but I think I just screwed up
bad."
"Yeah, well that seems to be the norm with you
Michael, the trouble is this time you pulled Isabel
into it ,and I won't tolerate her being hurt. Do you
understand me Michael? Don't hurt her!" warned Max.
"Don't worry Maxwell, the last thing I want to do is
hurt Isabel," replied Michael thinking about Isabel
and what he had said to her.

*********

Isabel walked quickly through the hotel lobby, her
breathing coming in short gasps. Her heart pounded not
from the exertion, but from the scene she had just
left at the club.
Oh God, what was Michael thinking? He was claimimg her
as his, but still was with Maria. How could he be so
selfish and stupid? But that was Michael...act now,
think later.
She stopped by the elevator ,pushing the button to the
penthouse. Leaning against the wall to wait for the
elevator, Isabel thought back over the months to the
day she and Michael found out about their 'destiny'. 
They had been scared , and confused about the dreams
and the books revelations. And then they had both
withdrawn from each other when they had found out she
wasn't pregnant, mutually not speaking about it
...well there was that one time at her birthday party,
but that was all, and not much of a conversation.

The elevator arrived and Isabel entered, turning to
push the button ,when Max stepped in, the doors
closing behind him.
Max watched her as she tried to ignore his presence.
"Isabel, talk to me. What was that at the club? You
and Michael were really angry. You even forgot where
you were."
Isabel turned teary eyes to Max, fighting to not let
them fall.
"Max, how can he do it? How can Michael be with Maria,
and still claim me as his? Does he not want me to have
a life? To always be alone? I can't wait for him
forever."
Max started at this last bit. She couldn't wait for
Michael? 
"Isabel, do you have feelings for Michael?" he asked
her.
Isabel looked at Max and gave a sad little laugh as
she said,"What? No Max, you know Michael is just a
friend...nothing more," she ended quietly.
Max pulled her to him and hugged her, caressing her
neck as he said,"I think you're lying Isabel. Why have
you never said you had feelings for Michael? When did
this start?"
Isabel began to cry as she clenched Max's jacket in
her hands.
"I've always felt something for him, but it really
began with the dreams...I had hoped he would realize
that we belong together, but he doesn't want me. He
loves Maria," she finished on a sob.
Max hurt for Isabel. He knew how it felt to love
someone who didn't love you back, who was with someone
else.
"It will be okay Isabel. Maybe he is starting to
realize he should be with you. Maybe that's what that
scene was about tonight."
He pulled back and took her face in his hands.
"Michael just needs to be encouraged, and walking out
like you did is not encouraging. If you want him ,
then you have to fight for him."
Isabel nodded as she snuffed. "Max, aren't you afraid
'destiny' is doing all of this? What if you 're really
and truly supposed to be with Tess? What if it's not
just Michael and me, but you and Tess too?"
Max shook his head,"I don't think so Isabel. You and
Michael have always had this love/hate thing going.
Always trying to tell the other what to do, yet the
first one there if the other needs help. Tess and I
...well we don't work like that. I love Liz even
though she is with Kyle, and Tess doesn't seem to want
me anymore either. Your feelings seem to be more
true...even if you are both to stubborn to give in."

The elevator came to a stop and they stepped out. 
"Thanks Max. I thought you might get all weird on me
about my feelings for Michael...thanks for not doing
that."
Max gave her a hug and said,"I'm not real excited over
this Isabel, I'm not going to lie to you, but I'll do
my best to see you happy...even if it means helping
you get Micahel."

********

"So do you think Maria and Michael are over now that
he has proclaimed Isabel his?" asked Kyle of Tess as
they walked back to the room.
Tess shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Michael
was really possessive of Isabel tonight. Could be that
'destiny' is speaking to him. Maria won't take him
back easily if she takes him back at all."
Kyle stopped walking ,putting his hand on Tess's arm.
"Do you think your 'destiny' will call to you again?
Do you feel like you should be with Max?" he asked
worriedly.
Tess smiled at him and said, "No, I don't think it
will return. You see Max never wanted me, and I'm over
him. But Michael and Isabel, well they have been
fighting their mutual attraction ever since I have
known them. It seems to me that 'destiny' only wants
those who seem to want each other, no matter how hard
they fight it. But who knows what will happen."
Kyle nodded and kissed her, then they headed on to the
room.

******* 

Valenti had been yelling at them since they had all
returned. He had really been pissed that they had left
for Vegas after skipping out on school, not to mention
they were minors. Now he was taking Kyle and Tess back
with him. He had ordered the others to return ASAP and
he would speak to all of their parents before they got
home.

*******

Max sat talking with Liz about their friends actions.
"Liz I know Maria is your friend, she's mine to you
know. Maybe she just needs to give Michael up. He
needs some space to think about what he wants."
Liz shook her head at Max's comment."She loves him
Max, I don't think she will give him up."
Max gave a humorless laugh,"How can she love him when
she has been going out with Brody too?"
Liz looked at Max suprised.
"How did you know she had been dating Brody?"
"Who doesn't know. She has a certain look when she is
with him or even see's him. I don't think she really
loves Michael...he's just her safety net. I think she
really likes Brody more."
Liz thought about that and nodded. 
"You could be right. She even thought about marrying
him when his daughter was so sick."
"Well I think that Michael has it bad for Isabel, but
won't let her know it because he's afraid," said Max.
"Then we need to fix it so that they both can see who
they clearly love...whoever that may be Max," said Liz
eyeing him.
"Of course Liz...whoever it may be."

**********

Alex sat rubbing Maria's back as she sobbed. 
He really should deck Michael again. Problem was he
knew whether they admitted it or not, Maria was not
really in love with Michael, but Isabel was. That was
one reason Alex had given up on her...he had seen the
tenseness ,and watchful eyes whenever they around each
other. The whole alien baby thing just added to the
mix.
Maria's sobbing brought him back to the present. Why
couldn't she just admit she liked Brody? She really
lit up around that guy, and he was good to her. She
deserved that.
"Hey Maria, enough now...Michael is not worth all of
these tears. You and Michael fight all the time. LET
THE GUY GO! You should be with Brody."
"Brody!? Alex, Michael and me...we're an item...the
real thing , or hadn't you noticed?"
"No Maria! You're the one who hasn't noticed. Michael
and Isabel care for each other, but have been fighting
it big time! And you...you have been chasing after
Brody and dating him. If you care for Michael so much,
how could you do that? And how could Michael let you
if he really cared about you?"
Maria stopped crying and looked at Alex.
"You're right Alex. Oh my God, you are so right! What
has been wrong with me?"
She grabbed him and kissed him. "Oh thank you Alex!"
She jumped up and rushed around.
"I've got to get home! I need to tell Brody How I feel
about him, before he moves on to someone else! Well
don't just sit there Alex, get our stuff and lets go!"
Alex watched Maria flit about the room jabbering.
He really shouldn't be surprised at how quickly she
had gotten over Michael...that was his
friend...flipped out and wiggy...but he loved her
anyway.

*******

Isabel sat on her bed in the suite and rubbed her
neck. She was so tense. Maybe a bath would help. As
she got up, a knock sounded on her door. Answering it
she found Michael standing there.
"Don't slam the door in my face okay?" said Michael
quickly.
Isabel nodded as she looked at him. "What do you want
Michael?"
"Can I come in?" he asked her.
Isabel hesitated, and then remembering Max's words,
she moved to let Michael in.
Michael walked over to a chair and sat down , Isabel
following and sitting on the love seat.
"Well, what did you want to say to me Michael?" asked
Isabel nervously.
Michael noticed Isabel still had on the dress. She
really did look nice, sexy really...and that was the
problem with it. But that wasn't why he had come.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry for yelling at you, and
embarrassing you like that. I had no right at all to
do that. I don't know what came over me."
Isabel nodded and said , "Thanks for the apology."
Then she asked him,"Michael, why were you so angry?"
Michael jumped up and began paciing, running his hand
through his hair as did so.
"That's just it, I don't know. I mean I got really
jealous when I saw you in that dress with Alex. I just
felt like no one should be with you but me...I don't
know where that came from...I don't understand it."

A knock sounded on the door, and Isabel went to answer
it. Maria and Alex were standing there.
Michael and Isabel both threw up their guards.
"Don't worry you guys, I'm not going to freak on you
again. I just wanted to say that I'm leaving and Alex
is coming with me. We're going home now."
"Maria, you don't have to leave. We can all go back
together," said Isabel to the calm looking girl.
"No,no, this is what I want. I just wanted to say I 'm
not mad anymore. Alex here," she nugged him with her
arm,"has pointed out to me that Michael and I really
don't love each other the way I would like...that my
heart really belongs to ...Brody."
"What?" exclaimed Michael and Isabel.
"Yeah, news to me too. I mean he treats me really
great, and he's really great, and we have fun...not
that Space Boy and I didn't have fun, but it's
different with Brody, and I want to get home to see
him."
"She means it guys, really. So we'll see you back in
good ol' Roswell tomorrow," said Alex.
Maria went to Michael and gave him a hug and a kiss on
the cheek. "Be nice to her Space Boy," she whispered
in his ear.
Michael just nodded as he tried to figure what had
just happend.
Going to Isabel she hugged her , and then left with
Alex.

"What just happened?" asked Isabel.
"I think I was just let off the hook and given a
blessing in the bargain," said Michael still trying to
figure it out.
Isabel rubbed her neck and twisted her head as if
uncomfortable. The tense feeling was worse.
Michael saw this and was instantly alert.
"Are you hurting or something?"
"My neck is so tense. I was going to take a shower to
see it it would help relax me."
"Come here and let me rub it for you. Get on the bed
on your stomach, and I'll work my magic fingers on
you."
Isabel looked doubtful, but did as she was instructed.
Michael began to wrok the tight muscles in her neck
and shoulders with skillful fingers and hands,
applying pressure in just the right places. 
Isabel began to moan as the stiffness worked its' way
out of her, and deep pleasure took over. Michael
rubbed circles around around her with a firm
gentleness that she had forgotten he possessed. 
"If you take this dress off, I can work the lower half
of your back," she heard Michael say.
Isabel hestiated, and then made the decision to began
to fight for Michael's attention starting now.
"Okay, let me go get a towel."
She got up with Michael's help and headed to the
bathroom, but soon returned still dressed.
"I need you to unzip me please. I can't reach it," she
said turning her back to him.
Michael held his breath as his fingers touched
Isabel's back. 
What the hell? He had just been rubbing her back and
had been fine, and now he was acting all nervous. What
the hell was wrong with him? 
He unzipped her dress and watched her return to the
bathroom. 
What the hell had he started? 

Isabel returned in a towel that barely covered her
breasts to the top of her thighs.
She lay back down on the bed.
"Well what are you waiting for? Hey maybe you should
take off your shirt so you can move better," she
suggested.
Michael nodded wordlessly and took off his shirt.
Knealing over her again he began to massage her
shoulders. He went down her back until he reached the
towel.
"Uh, I the towel is in the way," he said. "I guess we
have to stop."
Isabel wriggled out of the towel until it covered only
her lower half, and she was bare underneath and above
her waist.
"How's that?" she asked.
"Fine," croaked Michael as he realized for the first
time that Isabel was naked...well he assumed she had
on panties...yeah she had those on...didn't she?
Isabel smiled to herself at the sound of Michael's
voice. I'm going to reel you in Michael Guerin and
make you mine. No more running for either of us.
Michael ran his hands down Isabel's back and massaged
her lower back with the same gently, firm circles,
using the pads of his thumbs to apply pressure.
Isabel's moans were like music to his ears, and he
closed his eyes remembering the dreams where she was
naked under him ,making the same moaning sounds of
pleasure.
His hands slipped under the towel and shoved it lower
reevealing her bared bottom.
His eyes opened and he looked down on the firm cheeks.
Without meaning to, he leaned down and placed a kiss
on the small of Isabel's back, flicking his tongue
along her spine and the hollow.
Isabel slowly turned over partialy on her side, and
looked at Michael.
His eyes rested on her perfect breasts that had been
revealed to him. They were full and heavy just like in
his dreams. The nipples were taut with desire ,
begging him to take one in his mouth ,and worry it
with his tongue.
Isabel ran her finger through his hair holding him
close to her breast, encourging him by pushing up into
his mouth.
Michael reached for the other and began to massage it
gently, lightly pinching at the pebbled nipple.
He pulled his mouth away from her and looked up to her
passion filled eyes.
"What are we doing Isabel? Is this right?" he asked
her.
Isabel knew what he was wanting to know and only could
answer for herself.
"Michael, I've wanted you and loved you since we were
children. When 'destiny' came calling I was ready, but
you weren't. I accepted that, and that you were with
Maria. I don't know what has happened to you this
weekend to see me differently, but I'm taking what I
can. I want a memory I can hold to me if you change
your mind. Just give me this time with you. Please?"

Michael couldn't believe that Isabel had just said she
loved him and always had. Hell, why couldn't she have
told him? He didn't understand what was happening 
himself, but he did know that right here, right now,
he wanted to be with Isabel, and it wasn't all just
sex. Yeah, he wanted that, but he just liked being
with her. He missed that. Hell if he really admitted
it, he was in love with her. When had that happened?

He dipped his head down to her lips and kissed her,
slipping his tongue into her open mouth.
Isabel put her arms around Michael's neck and pulled h
im closer to her, her tongue searching his mouth as
much as his was searching hers.
They parted and looked deep into each others eyes.
"So we're really going to do this aren't we?" asked
Michael.
"Only if you want to?" she replied.
"Yeah, I do, I just don't want you to regret it later
you know," he said softly.
"I won't. I've waited to long for this to happen
already."
Michael removed the towel and Isabel lay on her back
giving Michael his first full look of her perfectly
formed body. Her high, firm breasts that glowed in the
light, down to her flat belly and narrowed hips. Then
his eyes dipped to her mound and the short, tight
curls that sprung there. Her legs were long and sleek
...and everything was tanned.
"Isabel, do you go to a tanning salon?"
"No, why?" she asked.
"You're tan all over," he replied. "Do you sun bathe
in the nude Isabel?" he asked her grinning.
Isabel blushed under tan, and it was very appealing to
Michael.
"You do! You tan nude. Who would have guessed."
"Shut up Michael and make love to me."
Michael sobered up instantly and did as he was bid.

Michael ran his hands along her breasts to her belly
and drew small, light circles on it. Then he looking
in her eyes, he ran his finger down to her mound and
along her clit, going up and down the outside, feeling
the moisture that had already begun to seep out.
He ran his finger inside and Isabel's eye's closed as
she arched her back, moaning in pleasure.
Michael placed two more fingers inside her and used
his thumb to rub the nub that he had found hard. 
Isabel's thighs fell open and Michael began to kiss
his way down to where his fingers ministered to
Isabel's growing need.
He flicked his tongue over her distented nub and slit
as his fingers contiuned to work her iside.
Isabel writhed under Michael's tender care and began
to feel a pulsing need grow with in her. She needed
something, but wasn't sure exactly what.
Michael used his fingers to seperate Isabel's nether
lips and he began to suck and eat at her honeyed
pussy, enjoying the taste and feel of her at his
mouth.
Then Isabel began to buck wildly at Michael's mout,
holding his head in place as she began to feel her
orgasm overtake her.
Michael thrust his tongue deep inside of her and then
pressed it to her firmly as he felt her orgasm roll
over her, her honey pouring into his waiting mouth. He
licked her, running his tongue all along the inside
and outside of her nether lips, until she was clean,
He kissed his way back up to her mouth and kissed her
deeply, allowing her to taste herself in the kiss.

"Well that was...that was wow!" said Isabel still
trying to recover.
Michael smiled to himself. He had never done that
before. Oh he had read about what to do , and he had
watched the porno stuff, but he and Maria had never
gone that far. He was glad that he had been able to
make Isabel come. God , she was beautiful when she
came.
Isabel began pulling at Michael's t-shirt, and with
his help, pulled it over his head.
She reached for his belt and he stopped her.
"Are sure Isabel? Once we do this there is no going
back," Michael asked her, trying to give her a chance
to back out.
Isabel got on her knees and began to kiss Michael's
chest, licking his pebbles hard nipples ,and
scratching him gently across the ribs with her nails.
She looked up at him and said,"Does that answer your
question? I'll never regret it Michael. Never."
Michael undid his belt and pants, letting htem slide
to the floor. He stepped out of them with difficulty,
having forgotten to remove his shoes. 
Isabel laughed softly as he struggled and finally
succeeded in divesting himself of the shoes and pants.
He started as she reached for the band of his boxers
,pulling them down and over his hard, thrustiing
erection.
"Michael, you are gorgeous!" said Isabel softly.
Michael had never been called that before. But the way
Isabel said it now, well he felt himself go warm
inside.
He knelt on the bed and pushed her back down. He
kissed her as she reached between them and grasped his
member in her hands, beginning a slow pump of the
engorged flesh.
Michael closed his eyes as Isabel worked him with her
hand, the precum causing her hand to slide easily up
and down with him.
"Oh my Gawww...Isabel...that feels so good," said
Michael.
Isabel kissed her way down Michael's chest , her hair
teasing him along the way. She tickled the head of his
penis with her tongue.
"What are you doing? You don't have to do that
Isabel," said Michael, struggling to stay in control.
"I know that Michael, but I want to do this for you."
Michael groaned out his pleasure as Isabel took him in
her mouth and deep into her throat. She gently closed
her teeth over him as she slid him in out of her
mouth, licking and sucking the hard shaft. She could
feel Michael's hands in her hair as she swirrled her
tongue over the head ,and grasped his balls, squeezing
them gently.
"Isabel, stop! I need you now!" cried Michael.
Isabel looked at Michael, and gasped when he grabbed
her and and flung her on her back.
"I don't want to hurt you Isabel, but we both know I
will...I'm sorry."
"Shh Michael, it will be okay," she said as she
caressed his face.
He looked at her and said so softly, she had to
struggle to hear it,"I love you Isabel."
Isabel felt the tears in her eyes as she said, "I'm so
glad to hear you fianlly say so Michael."

Isabel opened her legs and guided Michael to her
sopping opening ,sighing as he began to enter her.
They both knew when he reached her barrier, and he
kissed her as he pushed through and made her his.
Isabel flinched slightly as Michael took her
virginity, but the pain was gone quickly as he began
to move in her, finding a rhythum to lead them both on
to ecstasy.
Michael loved how tight around him Isabel was. He felt
like he was incased in velvet. Her muscles contracting
around him sent him ripples of pleasure that he didn't
know exsisted.
He quickened the pace as he felt the blood rise in
him, but he also wanted to make sure she came before
him.
Isabel felt like she was in heaven. 
Michael thrust in and out of her slowly at first, but
had now quickened his pace. 
Isabel clasped her legs at his waist tightening them 
as she tried to drive him further into her. The
pounding in her head began to turn to a roar as she
felt somethng she had never felt before. She reached
for this incredible feeling ,screaming Michael's name
over and over as her orgasm rolled over her
repeatedly.
Michael thrust hard into Isabel as she came. He cried
out her name as he pumped his seed into her over and
over.
They finally came to rest, feeling each others hearts
pumping wildly as they basked in the afterglow.

"Are you okay Isabel?" asked Michael as he stroked her
shoulder, his head on her breast.
Isabel curled Michael's hair between her fingers as
she answered, "I'm better than okay Michael, I'm
absolutely wonderful."
Michael raised up to gaze at her.
"Wonderful huh? I like that."
"I'm tired though...Michael?," she said trying to
stifle a yawn.
"Yeah?"
"I love that dress. It brought you to me."
Michael grinned as he said,"Go to sleep
Isabel...you've worn me out...and I love the dress
too."
Isabel snuggled next to Michael , and with his arms
wrapped around her, they fell asleep.

*******

Max and Liz stood in the suite , their mouths hanging
open.
"Oh my God! Max do you think they just did what I
think they did?" asked Liz.
Max was torn between being glad for Isabel and
Michael, and knocking the crap out of Michael for
sleeping with Isabel. He hoped Michael took his
warning to heart and would not hurt Isabel. Playing
with her heart was not a game.
"I think they did. I guess we won't get to set our
plan in motion to send them out on a date together,"
said Max.
"Yeah, I think they skipped the date, and went for
something more exciting," replied Liz without
thinking.
Max looked at Liz as she covered her mouth.
"Max, I'm so sorry, I didn't..." and she started to
giggle.
Max joined her in the giggling and led her towards the
door.
"We better leave them alone for awhile. Let's go
downstairs and get something to eat," said Max.
Leaving the suite, they closed the door , and put out
the ,"Do Not Disturb!" sign.
"We'll give them an hour, and then I'll give them what
for," said Max. And then he added,"I hope I'm not
going to be an Uncle soon."


The End
