Circumstances

Chapter Six

Liz was still up in her room, and she was still fuming about Michael and Alex. Alex had apologized to her, saying he’d been unable to stop laughing. Then there was Michael, busting out with that information to Isabel. Isabel, to say the least, had been stunned. She wasn’t upset or anything, just shocked. Liz went out onto her deck to sit in her lawn chair. She sometimes wished that she’d never met Max, Michael, and Isabel. She was concentrating on her journal, when she heard someone climbing up her ladder. She knew it wasn’t Max, so she became a little worried. She was about to run back to her room, when she saw the top of Michael’s head. Liz gaped at him as he climbed over her wall, and stopped to stand in front of her. He looked immensely uncomfortable, but he spoke just the same.

“ Look, I came here to say ‘I’m sorry’ to you. I’m not sure why I told Isabel about us, but I did, and I can’t take it back.” Liz didn’t know what to say at first. She eventually found her voice to answer him.

“ You came all the way over here to tell me that?” Michael looked away for a minute, but looked at her in the eyes when he looked back.

“ Yeah, I guess I did.” Liz fought back a smile.

“ Well, thank you for apologizing, but I don’t think it’ll help matters. Do you think Isabel is going to tell Max?” Michael scowled at her. Here he was doing something sweet for her, and she was still thinking about Max.

“ No, Isabel won’t say anything to him. She’s a better friend then that, even if he is her brother.” Liz was surprised by his sudden outburst, and harsh tone. She hadn’t said anything bad, had she?

“ Michael, what’s the matter? I was just asking you a question, you know.” He didn’t answer her. Instead, he walked over to her, grabbed her by the shoulders, and leaned down to capture her mouth.

Michael didn’t understand his attraction to her. Liz was all he could think about lately, when he should be trying to find a way home. There hadn’t been much trouble on the alien front, lately, but it seemed Michael needed to stir up stupid trouble between t he six of them. He felt Liz hesitate before putting her arms around his neck. He should be talking to her, not making out with her. After a few seconds, Liz relaxed and let Michael slip his tongue in her mouth. He absolutely loved kissing her like this, well he loved kissing her period. She was a very good kisser. They were extremely close together, their entire bodies were touching from head to toe. To his disappointment, Liz broke the kiss.

Liz walked out of his embrace without saying a word. She walked into her bedroom, locked her door, and turned the light off. She then grabbed a blanket and went back outside. Michael didn’t say anything, just watched her movements. Michael figured that she was ready to talk about their attraction to each other now, and that’s why she was bringing a blanket out. She walked over to her lawn chair, picked it up, and moved it up against the wall so it would out of the window’s view. Liz took a deep breath, smiling to herself, and took Michael’s hands. She guided him over to where she’d placed the lawn chair, and pushed him back on it. She grabbed his shoulders to balance herself, and straddled his lap. Michael was taken by surprise, but grasped her hips in appreciation. Liz leaned forward a bit, and spoke to him.

“ I don’t want any interruptions. Michael, why are we so drawn together all of the sudden? Could we possibly be under some kind of spell or something?” Michael was once again surprised, because he hadn’t really expected her to start talking with the way they were sitting.

“ I’ve always liked you, Liz, but I’m not sure when it changed. For me, it has nothing to do with Maria. It does however affect her, as it affects Max. He’s had a thing for you since we were seven years old. He’s not going to take lightly to this. Liz, we are not under a spell. Witches do not exist.” Liz nodded, leaned forward again, so that their mouths were almost touching.

“ See, it’s more Maria then anything for me. She’s been my best friend since we were in diapers. She still has feelings for you, she told Alex as much, and I think you still have feelings for her.” Michael sighed.

“ We’ve been over that. She was the first girl who liked me, and she knew what I was. You’re different. You’ve always been nice to us, even when we weren’t nice to you.” Liz just shrugged, and lightly touched her lips to his. Michael was all for that, because he immediately deepened the kiss. Their lips were fighting a war, and they were both losing. They both wanted more, so the kiss seemed to go on forever. Michael placed one of his hands on her breasts, and kneaded her with his knuckles. Liz sighed and leaned into his hand, causing him to chuckle.

Michael was getting excited. He knew that Liz could feel exactly how much, too. He now had one hand in her hair, and the other one was massaging her breast. Liz was squirming on his lap, and her hand were in his hair. Growing bold, Michael moved his hand under her shirt. She stiffened at the contact, but quickly relaxed under his touch. Michael wanted to move her bra out of the way, but he wasn’t brave enough for that yet.

Liz was in a whirlwind of sensations, and she didn’t want it to stop. The fact that Michael was touching her, drover her completely nuts. She could feel exactly how much he wanted her, which is partially why she kept squirming, so she could feel him. She knew he wanted to remove her bra, but he wasn’t making a move to do it. He was currently pinching her nipple, and it was causing her to moan a bit. Without thinking, Liz moved her hands, and undid the clasp on the front of her bra, freeing her breasts. Michael had dropped his hands to her waist at her movement, so she picked it up and placed in back on her chest. After a few minutes, Liz grew impatient, because she wanted so much more. She broke away from the kiss, and whipped the shirt over her head. She had no idea what possessed her to do that, but after seeing Michael’s look of lust, she didn’t care. She threw her shirt and bra on the ground, next to the chair. Michael sat up a bit, and removed his own shirt. Liz was deeply appreciative that he did this. She slid her hands down his chest, and smiled brightly at him.

Max was over at Michael’s apartment, and he was nowhere to be found. He really needed to talk to him about Tess, but he was gone. Isabel had acted really strange when he’d asked her if she’d seen him. He found a piece of paper with Liz’s handwriting on it, and remembered that they’d been spending some time together. He decided that he’d over to her house, and try to catch him there.

Liz was arching her back, and running her fingers through Michael’s hair as his tongue flicked across her nipple. She had never felt anything this exquisite. After a few minutes, Michael took her nipple completely in his mouth and began to suckle. Liz moaned a little as he did this, and whispered “harder.” Once again, she didn’t know what made her so bold. Obeying her, Michael began to suck her nipple in earnest. Liz thought that it hurt so bad, that it felt great. Michael then began alternating nipples, sending Liz into a frenzy. After what seemed like forever, Liz had an extremely bad feeling. She pushed Michael off of her, grabbed her shirt, her bra, and quickly dressed. She threw Michael his shirt, and glanced down over the wall. Max was walking towards the deck, and came to a stop on the street, looking up at her. It was as if she’d known he was going to be there. Michael didn’t look happy, so she went over to explain to him.

“ I’m sorry about that, Michael, I panicked. Max is on his way up here.”

Michael snapped out of his pissy attitude immediately at her words. How the hell had she known he was near? She looked just as shaken as he felt, but he had a feeling it was because she didn’t want to see Max. He needed to distance himself from Liz for a couple of days. He just hoped that his body would obey his head for once. Hearing his name, made him break his train of thought.

“ Michael, I need to talk to you. I went by your apartment, and you weren’t there. It’s really important, or I wouldn’t have come here.” Michael nodded.

“ Okay, I’ll meet you down t here. I’m just going to say goodbye to Liz.” Max didn’t say anything. He just turned on his heel and went back down the ladder. Michael turned to face Liz, and he wore a goofy grin.

“ That was really close, Parker. I guess I have to go now. I work tomorrow, so I’ll see you then.” He turned to leave, but stopped and turned to face her again. “ Oh and by the way....you taste really good.” Liz’s face turned fire red at his statement, and she watched him go. She briefly thought that she was in a world of trouble where Michael Guerin was concerned.

Isabel was reeling from what she’d done. She’d followed Max to Michael’s apartment. When she’d seen that he wasn’t home, she’d jogged over to Liz’s place to warn them. She’d been completely shocked to see Michael and Liz nude from the waist up. She’d focused as hard as she could, and planted the thought in her head. It had taken her awhile to do it, because by the time she’d finished, Max had made it to her place. Isabel had been pensive as she watched her brother climb up the ladder, but luckily Liz and Michael dressed. She was currently walking home with a headache. Putting that thought into Liz’s head, had completely drained her energy. The fight that was going to break out between Max, Michael, Liz, and Maria was inevitable. She just hoped that her and Alex didn’t get pulled into the middle of it. She continued on her way home, thinking that the big mess was impossible to avoid. She was thinking to herself that Max Deserved the trouble, but the others didn’t.
