PART 11
{With Maria}

Maria is standing in the park by a tree just thinking when she feels a pair of strong arms pull her to the person’s body.  She just relaxes into the body.

“I slipped up in front of Michael.  I think he now knows we are having sex.”  Maria says without even looking back.

“What did you say to make him suspect?”  Max asked pulling her closer to him.

“He said something about making you jealous.  I said ‘He wont be but if he does I will make it up to him tonight.’  It just slipped out.”  Maria said.

“You’ve been so good as not to slip, what was different about today?  I thought you didn’t want anyone to know that yet.”

“The difference with today is I had been talking about it before we met you guys for lunch.  I told Isabel and Liz at the mall while we were shopping.”

“Oh.  Wait was that why Isabel was blushing earlier when she looked at me.  Can I ask why you told them?”

“I wanted to.  I wanted to brag about how much we love each other.  I didn’t come right out and say it.  Liz asked if all the walking was hurting me.  I told her I’ve done other things that are worse than walking.  Isabel asked what.  I told them they didn’t want to know with an evil smile.  Then they wanted details but I quickly changed if over to there nonexistent sex lives.”  Maria explained.  “Which reminds me, just you and I are going out tonight.  We are leaving our houses to the other couples, so maybe they can get lucky.”

“That’s why Liz is picking up Michael, so they will be at my house.  You really don’t need the Jeep like you told Michael.”

”Actually we will need the Jeep because we have to find another place for us tonight.  Maybe like going out to the desert with a picnic and blanket.”

“Sounds good to me.  What am I bringing other then the Jeep?”  Max asked.

“Yourself and protection.”  Maria said before standing up.  “Come on, I need you to take me home, so I can pack our picnic and a couple of blankets.”
