Charity decided to wear something sensual for Miguel. She had this dress, sleeveless. It's fuchsia with baby pink flowers. Her hair fixed in a dramatic up-sweep. "Tonight is the night, for me and Miguel. Although, I must say the kiss Eric and I shared yesterday was exhilarating." She smiled while thinking to herself. She dabbed some perfume on her to make the event right. "Oh." She sighed heavily. "Why can't I stop thinking about you, Eric? Why is your kiss leaving an effect on me to want you more?" She said to herself. She heard the doorbell ringing. She rushed downstairs and opened the door.

"Eric?" Her eyes widened with interest.

"Hi Charity . . ." He started to blush. "I thought I would come by and see you." He smiled.

"Me? Why?" She laughed anxiously.

"Yeah. I'm sorry, Charity. I couldn't stop thinking about our kiss. It means a lot to me. I know the kiss we've shared is ardent and endearing. I was hoping you've felt it was not a mistake." He paused.

"A mistake? Eric . . . we do need to talk about this. Actually, I've enjoyed the kiss. I really liked it. You've made me see a totally different perspective on love."

Eric searched through her eyes to find the answer. "Like how?" He asked, apprehensively.

"I'm not sure if I can keep my love for Miguel." Her mind is transcending into a trance. His eyes glistened when she mentioned it. What is his ulterior motive? Why does he want Charity so much?

"Charity, I don't want you to change your love for Miguel. After all, he is your first love." He touched her face gently.

"Eric, forgive me but I must do this." She pulled him into a kiss. He didn't held back. He was a little stunned from Charity's aggression.

"Charity, what was that for?" He didn't step back from her either. "I want to spend my night with you."

Kay overheard their conversation. "What?!" She whispered. "I thought she was going to be with Miguel tonight." She frowned.

"Isn't this yours and Miguel's night?" He looked at her quizzically.

"Yes . . . Miguel will understand." She smiled.

"Charity, don't you want to let him know?" He examined her carefully.

"No. Why should I? I feel the need to be with you." Her eyes grew dark with a carnal mystery.

"What ever you want Charity. Where do you want to go?" He thrust his hands in his pockets.

"To your place." She took his hand in hers. He followed after her.

Kay came downstairs. "I wonder what those two could be up to?" She asked herself suspiciously. She heard a knock. "Hmm. I wonder who could it be now. If it's Simone. I must talk to her." She rushed to the door. "Hey Si-Miguel?!" She stood there frozen.

"Hey Kay. Where's Charity?" Her smile disappeared.

"Check her room, she might be in there."

She went to her room and slammed her door. "Why can't he ask about me?! Why can't he love me?! It's not fair." She started to pout. "No more Kay. It's time to look pretty for yourself." She tried to encourage herself. She put on this spaghetti strapped royal blue dress with baby blue floral print. She applied on her make-up. Neutral colors to make her glow more. She started combing her hair. She wasn't sure if she wants to wear it up or down. "I think I should wear it up." She smiled half way.

"I think you should wear it down."

She shrieked. "Miguel?! Wha-what are you doing here?" She interrogated apprehensively.

"Charity's not around." He looked real nice too, in his tux.

"I thought she was in her room." she lied.

"You look beautiful. Are you on a date tonight?" He gave her a glassy look.

"No, not really." She whispered. "I just felt like dressing up tonight. That's all." She shrugged.

"Kay is something wrong?" He went up to her.

"No Miguel. I-I have to go." She grabbed her purse, she really didn't want to face another heart break.

"Where are you going? I want to come with you if you don't mind?" He gestured her with a friendly smile.

"No Miguel. It's ok. You don't have to feel sorry for me. I know how you think of me." She sniffled.

"Like how?" He looked at her blankly.

"I must leave, ok? Night Miguel." She went downstairs leaving him speechless.

"Kay wait up!" He yelled and she was already gone

"Damn! What did I do?" he quizzed himself.

"I can't believe he thinks the worst of me. I was an idiot to believe that me and Miguel would have a chance together. Now that he's with Charity. What can I do?" She frowned. She sat on the bench at the park trying to remain in serenity.

"Sure is beautiful tonight, right?"

She looked up. "Miguel?" She wiped her tears.

"What do you want?" She asked, irritably.

"Kay. Did I say something to offend you?" He sat beside her.

"No." She denied quickly.

"Kay, you know you can talk to me, right?" He tried to search for her eyes, but she remained obstinate to look at him.

"Yea, I know." She mumbled.

He put his arm around her. "Well talk to me. What's going on? Did Eric break your heart?"

She glared at him. "Something like that." She shrugged.

"I'm sorry, Kay. Seems like it's you and me tonight." He hugged her.

"Yea." She muttered. "All I ever wanted is someone to love me." She said, disappointedly.

"Kay, you will find that special someone." He smiled. "You are a great gi-woman." He lifted her chin.

"Thanks Miguel. But I know you don't mean it." She replied bitterly. She got up and stood by the tree.

"Kay? What is that supposed to mean?" He grimaced.

"Nothing, just go away." She grumbled.

"Kay. Why are you so distant from me?" He came near her.

She could feel his body heat towards her body. "I'll be fine, Miguel." She moved away.

"Kay talk to me!"

She turned around and gave him an evil look. "Miguel, you don't want me to talk to you. Just go away!" She blared at him.

"Kay. I don't know what's agitating you. Obviously you need to let some of that tension out." He suggested.

"You know what, I really don't need sage advice." She pouted out her lip.

"Fine Kay." He said bitterly. "You know what I see? I see a girl who is blossoming into a ravishing woman." He responded coquettishly and step close to her.

"Miguel. Please save it for Charity. I really don't want it." She cried.

"Kay. I have known you all of my life. This is not like you, you always get what you wanted. You had had so many things right in front of you and seen it explicitly. You know I've always been implicit on certain topics. I've admired you in various of ways. Kay, you know how to make me laugh. You always kept me company when my leg was broken a long time ago." He smiled.

"Yea," She spoken softly. "I don't see where this leading to, Miguel?" She crinkled her nose.

"What I'm trying to say, Kay is you deserve someone better than Eric. You will find yourself someone who will be worthy of you." He cupped his hands on her face.

"Miguel. I may never get that love so don't give me false hopes." She looked down at the ground.

"Kay. Look at me. I'm not trying to lead you on. That's the last thing I want to do." He smiled again.

"Yeah well. I should go home." She tried to released herself from him.

"No Kay. Not until I finish with what I have to say." He glanced at her.

"I've think you'd said enough." she retorted.

She pulled away. "No Miguel." he disregarded of what she just said and kissed her again. She started to tremble with him kissing her fervently.

"Miguel, don't do this to me." She said weakly.

"Do what? When I saw you tonight in your dress. You've shown me another side of you.

"I'm not following you." She started to fluster.

"Sex appeal, I see clearly coming from you." Her jaw dropped.

"Miguel you-you don't mean it." She turned away.

"Yes I do mean it. Kay, do you know what you're doing to me?" She shook her head.

"When you told me you was busy all day. I was crushed. Cause you've always made time for me. I feel bad for not making time for you." He held her in his arms. "Kay, I want you to come with me." He took her hand.

"I don't think so Miguel. How about some other time?" She started contemplating to herself.

"Kay, what is wrong with you?! Here is the perfect opportunity to seduce Miguel! And what are you doing?! You are simply passing up the offer. Don't be a fool! Take advantage.' She thought about it again.

"Miguel, thanks but no thanks."

He looked puzzled. "Kay? Why are you avoiding me?"

"I'm not avoiding you. I think I should go home to get some rest!" She ran off and he exasperated.

"Miguel didn't mean to kiss me. All he wanted to prove that he still cared for me as a friend that's it!" She went upstairs. "I don't care if I don't ever see Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald again!" She sobbed and went to take a shower. "Well I wonder what Eric and Charity are doing?"

"Charity, are you sure you want this?" He asked her while kissing her.

"I want this more than ever, Eric." She kissed him back.

"Charity, let's do it."
