Michael woke up.. feeling very warm. Which was strange because he was still in New York, wasn't he? Looking around for the offending object that had woken him, he snatched his phone off the table and flipped it open to shut it up. But it wasn't a call. I was like, 8 trillion text messages from his brother GOB. Rolling his eyes, he put the phone on

Smiling, he grabbed a pan from where he had learned they lived, placing it evenly on the stove and adjusting the burner. He dropped a few eggs in it unceremoniously and pulled out another for the pancakes.
"How do you like your eggs?" he asked, still stirring the pancake mix. "And could you put in some toast?"
He knew he had forgotten something. Inevitable.

"Sunny side up, please." Daniel ate his eggs like that, and after awhile so did she. No matter how much time apart, he always seemed to be there, rearing his ugly head at the worst moments.
Dropping the bread into the toaster she turned and looked at him. "How did you sleep?"

"I slept like a rock." Like he always did when he was drunk.

Guess what half she was listening to at the moment.
Pushing up his shirt, or her shirt that he was wearing, she started to rub up against him once more. Eager, willing, wanting, Throwing herself at him, she would do whatever he wanted her to do, and gladly.

Unfortunately, his personality didn't really allow for that. Taking a deep breath, he tried to say something. Anything that might be... satisfactorily dirty.
"I want you to..." He had started strong. Fuck. "To.."
Hopelessly, he tugged on her chin again, putting her at eyeline.
"I just want you. Is that enough?"

Smiling gently she nodded and lent down to kiss him, a sweet, happy kiss. There was nothing wrong with what he wanted. Deep down that's what she wanted anyway, to make him happy.
"Yes, Michael, that's enough." Sitting back, she giggled a bit, and then jerked her thumb over her shoulder. "But ya gotta lose the shirt, stranger."

"I'm sorry I can't..." Bruise you? Order you around? "Hurt you."
He frowned, knowing that hadn't come out right. But it was the truth.

When he opened the door, she crushed out the cigarette, and waved the smoke away from her face. Eyebrows raised when he pulled on his pants and she shook her head a little bit. She could never understand why people had issues with being naked.
Still, there was something about a slightly damp man in just slacks. "You look good like that."

Sighing, he climbed into bed next to her, propping himself up against the headboard. His eyes raked over her body as he found himself thinking about her occupation. He really couldn't judge her for it, despite the fact that part of him wanted to. She looked so comfortable this way, naked and young.. absolutely stunning.
He noted her serious expression, and donned one of his own, thinking... It was already Thursday and he was due back in Newport News on Sunday afternoon.
"Is this the part where we stop being strangers?" he asked helplessly. This thing had grabbed hold of them, so suddenly; without any sort of warning. Michael thought it was love, but how could he be sure? Maybe it was simple lust, trapped away for a year of celibacy.

Stretching out, she rolled on to her side, proping herself up with an elbow as she started to kiss up his chest. She could taste the water that clung to him, and smelt her soap on his flesh, and found that she liked it. Grinning she nodded, the tip of her nose brushing over a nipple as she moved.
"Yes, this is where we stop being strangers. I'll answer whatever questions you want me to," just maybe not honestly. There was a certain fear with being familiar with someone, strangers were easy because you didn't know a thing about them. When they walked out, there was never any problem.

Michael, too, was afraid of this intimacy they shared. He would always carry the knowledge that even if she stayed with him... the rest of the Bluths would probably scare her away. Thanking his lucky stars, Michael sighed. At least George Michael wasn't scary.
He pulled her away from his chest, shuddering lightly as their lips met in a shallow kiss. He couldn't exactly get it up after... and now his son was on his way. He wasn't as young as he used to be; that above all other things was becoming abundantly clear.
"Okay, let's do it this way," he proposed, draping an arm over her shoulder. "You ask me a question and then I'll ask you a question, okay?"
It was ridiculously juvenile, but his heart quickened just a little at the prospect of knowing more about the mysterious and beautiful woman in his arms.

Sighing, he picked up his phone. "Yes, George Michael. I know. Uh-huh. Just park the staircar.. any place you can and we'll let you in. Yeah. Bye."
"He's here," Michael announced unnecessarily. "And you look great - I was only kidding."
Reply
Shrugging, he jingled the keys to the staircar and waited nervously. What if this was the wrong apartment? What if this girl didn't like him and dumped his dad?
...That would really suck. Or worst yet, what if Dad had wanted him to wait outside? No, then he wouldn't have given the apartment number. George Michael tried to tell himself he was just being paranoid but he was beginning to freak out, if only a little.

Blinking, she smiled and then opened the door a bit wider, letting him step inside.
"Hi, George Michael, I'm Alice. Come on in."
Reply
He was being unnecessarily jittery and he knew it, but he couldn't help it. This woman looked so young... And then his dad left the room to put on his nice suit for the conference. The blue pinstriped one he had picked out (and GOB had bought with the company credit card) last winter.
George Michael searched his empty brain for something to say, but ended up just standing there like a deer-in-headlights, hoping either Dad would come back or Alice would say something before he exploded with the awkward tension.
