PART 10

{Shopping At The Mall}

Isabel, Liz and Maria are walking through the Mall with their hands full of bags.

“I can’t wait to see the guys faces when they see you in your new outfits Maria.”  Isabel said.

“Yeah, I think Max will love it but wont like the guys staring at you but Kyle and Michael will try and get you to change before you leave the house.”  Liz said with a laugh making the other two laugh also.

“Like that will happen.  So we wear our new outfits Monday and I’m staying at Isabel’s tomorrow night so you two can help me get ready Monday morning.”  Maria said then added, “what time is it?  We have to meet the guys at the Crashdown and we don’t want to be late.”

“This has been so much fun.  We will have to this again.”  Isabel said as she looked at her watch.  “It is 1:00, we better get back to the car so we can get to the Crashdown.”

“Maria, how are you feeling?  Are you sore from all the walking around we’ve done?”  Liz asked.

“Walking doesn’t bother me.  Not as much as the other things I have been doing this past week.”  Maria said with a glint in her eye and a smirk on her face.

“What are those things Maria?”  Isabel asked.

“You don’t want to know who I’ve been doing?”  Maria said then turned and left, leaving a shocked Isabel and Liz standing there.  “Come one you two, we don’t have all day.”

“Oh my god Maria, we want to know.  Give us details and how long it has been going on?”  Isabel said with a laugh, finally following Maria out of the mall.

“It happened the night we met up at the Crashdown.  After we left we went back to my new place, started kissing, one thing led to another and we made love.  Then Kyle came home, Jerry showed up at the house, then we took Michael to the hospital and last we came home and made love for the second time that day.  It was great, no that’s a lie, it was absolutely amazing. Max has been at my place every night since that first time.  We make love every night then he holds me all night.  We always use protection, so no worries of pregnancy.  You guys can’t tell anyone what I just told you.  I wasn’t suppose to say anything yet.”  Maria explained as adding other very personal things about Max.

“None of is were right.  Actually after you two left us, Michael said he’d give you two, two weeks before you guys had sex, I said a month and Kyle said not for a while but believed you guys were ready now.  Which obviously was true.”  Isabel said with a laugh.

“You guys haven’t slept with your guys yet?”  Maria asked.

“Michael and I haven’t.  I’m ready to make love with him but we never have any alone time.  We are always with Kyle and Isabel.”  Liz answered.

“Kyle and I have a few times when we first started dating freshman year.  I’ve never told anyone this.  We were at a party both of us had been drinking.  We went back to his house.  We had sex without any protection, the first time but we were both virgins until then.  The couple of times after that we used condoms but we had a scare, thought I was pregnant and we haven’t since.  I was afraid I’d get pregnant, so I’d try and never be alone with him to even chance it.  I want to again, I’m on birth control now because my mom made me for my periods not being regular.  Kyle doesn’t know I’m on it.  I know I’m ready this time and I want to make love to Kyle again.”  Isabel explained

“Have either one of you talked to them about this?  I think you should.  I know that Jim works tonight and I can get Max to take me out and you, Isabel, can have the house for you and Kyle.  I also know that Max and Michael’s parent are gone for the weekend.  So Liz, you and Michael can have that house for your selves.  Just make sure that you’re ready for this.”  Maria said.

“I know I’m ready.  Maria, thank you for helping us but how are we going to split the guys up?  I swear they are attached at the hips most of the time.”  Isabel asked.

“Well, we will tell them that you two will meet them at their places and let them think we are all going out but when you get their make them want to stay.”  Maria said as they finally pulled into a parking spot at the Crashdown.

“Sounds good to me.  I think I know away to keep Michael from leaving.”  Liz said with an evil smirk.

“Me too.”  Isabel added.

“All right let go inside and get our normal booth.”  Maria said as she got out of the car followed by the others.  They went inside and got their normal table.  Just then the guys walked in.  Max walked right over to Maria and gave her a passionate kiss.  Kyle and Michael did the same with Isabel and Liz.

“I’ve missed you today.”  Max said between kissing her.

“Missed you too.”  Maria said as she pulled away from him and sat back down.

“Did you three girls have fun today?  Or buy anything nice.”  Kyle asked after he joined the table along with Michael.

“Yes we had a blast and we got a lot of new clothes.”  Liz answered.

“What did you guys do while we were away?”  Isabel asked looking first at Kyle, then Michael and last Max but couldn’t help but blushing because of the things Maria had told them about him.

“Why are you blushing Isabel?”  Max asked, feeling very cautious now.

“Oh it’s nothing.  Just thinking about some of things we talked about today at the mall.”  Isabel said, making both Maria and Liz crack up, as she turned three different shades of red from embarrassment.

“What exactly did you talk about that would make you blush while looking at Max?”  Michael asked.

“It’s nothing I’m going to tell you guys.  If we wanted you to know we would have told you already.”  Liz answered, cause Maria to laugh harder at the guys expressions.

“Well tell us, we really want to know too.”  Kyle said.

Come on Maria, we’ve been friends longer then you three girls have.  Spill it already.”  Max said.

“It really is none of your business.  It’s personal stuff that guys don’t like to talk about.”  Maria said, looking pointantly at Max.  “Anyways, there has been a change in the plans for tonight.  Michael, Liz will pick you up on her way over to Kyle’s and my place.”  Maria quickly went on to change the subject.

“I have the jeep tonight, so I can pick her up.”  Michael said.

“Actually you don’t.  I need Max to run me to some places, so he’ll need the jeep.”

“Why can’t you just take your car?”  Michael asked getting annoyed.

“Because I don’t have a car any more remember.  The Jetta belongs to Jerry, not me.”  Maria said then looked down at the table to will the tears away.  Max, Kyle, Liz and Isabel just glared at Michael.

“Maria I’m so sorry.  I wasn’t thinking.  Take the jeep, have fun.  I’ll see you later at your place.”  Michael said as he got up and walking for the door, feeling really bad about what he had done.  He stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder.  He turned around and next thing he knew Maria was hugging him.  He final realized what was going on and hugged her back.

“Don’t leave Michael.  I want you to stay.”  Maria said into his chest.

“I won’t leave but we better sit down before we make Max jealous.”  Michael said.

“He won’t be but if he is, I will make it up to him tonight.”  Maria replied without thinking.

“How exactly are you going to make it up to him?”  Michael asked with a smirk.

“Did I say that.  I was kidding.  I didn’t mean anything by that really.  But I should go.  See you later.”  Maria said in a hurry then bolted out the door so Michael couldn’t see her blushing.  Michael just stood there watching the door trying not to laugh out loud, thinking that he would have a nice conversation with Max later.

“What did you do to make he run out like that?”  Max asked as he walked up to Michael.

“I didn’t do anything.  She did it all herself.”  Michael said before he rejoined his friends.

“I better go see what’s up.  If I find out it was something you did, I will have to hurt you later, bro.”  Max said as he turn to walk out.

“Whatever.”  Michael commented before Max walked out.
