Shades Of Green
Chapter Four
Zan arrived at the part in plenty of time. Parking his bike next to Michael's he walked in without knocking, since he lived there as well. There was only a small amount of things there were left to do and with the help of their powers, Michael and Zan managed to get everything set up in time.
As Michael worked with Zan he noticed the change in his friend's demeanour. The once amber eyes that reminded him of Max were now dark butterscotch with black bordering them. Something was up; he could feel the power and determination rolling off of Zan in waves. A lone thought popped into his head and Michael had to fight back a smirk. Today it seemed Zan would finally tell Liz how he felt and he would be there to support them both.
The rest of the guests were already starting to arrive and soon the apartment was filled with noise. There were several people from school that had been invited but for the most part it was the members of the "I know an alien" club. The knock on the door broke Michael out of his reverie for a moment as he opened the door. Max was standing there with some blond hanging off of his arm as he smiled at his friend.
"Hey Michael. This is Serena she wanted to meet all of you guys so I thought I would bring her by." In a lower voice he leaned into Michael and spoke, "I promise to not cause any trouble with Liz and Zan."
Michael gave him a calculated look before glancing over at Zan. The last thing that was needed at this time was a confrontation between Zan and Max when Zan was so lost within his alien side. If Max pisses off Zan I will have to take Zan's side. I want everything to be flawless here, oh great I am turning into Isabel and Maria.
As the minutes ticked by and the party got underway Michael and Zan were looking around for the girls. They were late and he was starting to get nervous. Then again when it came to Maria and Isabel they were usually always late. The sound of the door opening drew his attention in that direction.
The first to enter the party was Isabel and all the guys were shocked at her choice in attire but Alex seemed to be affected the most. Isabel sauntered over to Alex, planting a kiss on his cheek. "Close your mouth dear, you might catch flies."
Maria walked in next commanding the attention of the room. Michael instantly zoned in his girl as he was shocked also by her outfit. His little pixie had always had a bit of a wild streak but sometimes she pushed it a bit too far. Growling at the other guys that were staring at her he watched helplessly as she made her way to him.
"Hey Spaceboy. I see the party is a hit."
Looking down at her Michael wanted to force her to put on clothes but he knew that was an argument he would loose. This was not the time or place to argue with her. Leaning down he kissed her cheek and whispered "Later. We are going to talk about this."
Isabel and Maria looked towards the door and motioned for the guys to look as well. Standing in the doorway was a nervous looking Liz. All eyes were on her and she cold feel the stares boring into her. Looking down nervously, Liz walked slowly through the door shutting it behind her. She hated being the center of attention and this was definitely one of those occasions. Looking up her eyes scanned the room looking for her friends. She saw Isabel and Maria smiling at her in encouragement, while Kyle, Alex, and Michael were staring in shock. Her eyes met with Max's briefly and he just looked unconcerned as his hands were all over the blond next to him. The golden butterscotch eyes of the man she loved were glaring at her.
Zan was shocked to see Liz showing so much skin. He wanted desperately to run his hands over the smooth skin, kissing every inch he felt. While her outfit was revealing it was not as bad in his mind as the ones of Isabel and Maria. Making his way over to Liz so fast that he was almost a blur, Zan swept her into his arms.
Liz pulled away from Zan and the party was once again in full swing. Several of the kids were dressed as Leprechauns and it was rather funny. She had been enjoying the time, dancing with different people and had even met Max's new girl. Serena was nice, smiling and being genuinely friendly.
