The Shy One

I will start the story of Michael in 8th grade. I had a caligraphy class with Michael, thats how I met him. When I first saw him I thought he was cute. We ended up sitting next to eachother in class and started to be friends. He was really funny always talking about sex and whatnot. One day he told me he like a girl in our class, which was kind of disapointing since I was really starting to like him. Michael would give me little hints on who she was. One of the hints was that her name started with a letter that is in the first 13 letters in the alphabet. I went home that day and wrote down all the girls that were in that category. The first girl I got was me. I wanted to believe that he was talking to me but I really didn't think it was. Michael and I had a mutual friend in that class named Monica and she knew who he liked. I told her the next day that I liked Michael and she got all happy. That day I told Michael that I liked someone In our class too. We decided to write down on a piece of paper the name of the person we liked and then we would exchange it. Now On my piece I wrote Michael, on his he wrote nothing. So when I opened his I was like no, what a brat, So I attacted him to get the paper back. We ended up finding out that we liked eachother that day.

He asked me out a little after that. We started dating January 14, 1999. the thing about our relationship was we were both shy. Michael was way shyer then me tho. before we dated he would talk to me but when we started dating he got all shy and started thinking about what he said before it since he was trying to impress me now. When we were still in Caligraphy class together we went to a playing of the crucible our drama program was showing. Michael and I sat by eachother the whole time. I noticed him looking at my hand as if he want ed to hold it so I started to put it right where it would be easy for him to take it. It took him almost the whole play to get up the courage to make the move. It was so cute. after the play we walked back to the classroom hand in hand.

The semester was over and we had our classes changed. Luckily we ended up getting our Physical Science class together. So that was nice because your fourth period was our lunch period so I had lunch with Michael but, that didn't really matter since we never sat together.

Our first date outside of school was to the movies with Carrie and Anthony. We saw Patch Adams. To this day I can't watch that movie without thinking of him and Anthony throwing there candy at Carrie and I.

Our first dance, Michael finnaly went to a dance with me. It was so great. That was the first dance I ever attended with a boyfriend. I would always try and get him to go but he never wanted to I am not sure if he knew how much it meant to me to have him there. I would go by myself and then I would watch all the other girls with there boyfriends and think well mine didn't want to come. I finally got him to go. The first song we slow danced to was God must Have spent a little more time on you by NSYNC. We made that our song. The second song we danced to was Angel of mine by Monica. I dedicated it to Michael I thought it really sumed him up.

Our first kiss. After our fourth period we would hug and then go to class, Well while I was hugging him I thought about kissing him on the cheek, well I leaned in to kiss his cheek and he must have been wanting tokiss me to because he turned his face and I kissed his lips. From then on we were able to hug and kiss after our fourth period. but it was still only a peck.

Our second Date was the mall and the movies With Chelsee and Mike her Ex. We saw the Matrix. We all went to the Dairy Queen in the mall and got Blizzards. I had a Oreo one and Michael had a Snickers one. That was the first time I had ever tried the snickers one it was really good. After the Movie we went to my house. Chelsee and Mike where in my dinning room making out and Michael and i were on my couch not even sitting close together. I was kind of confused on why he didn' kiss me we had the house to ourselves.

It was May now, and still our relationship wa sin the same place it was when we started dating. I was realy confused on if he even liked me anymore. I thought that he didn't like me anymore but he was to much of a nice guy or to shy to break up with me. So after our class when he went to hug me I grabed his hands and told him we needed to talk. Now that must have been the hardest thing for me to ever do. I really did like him but I didn't think he wanted to be with me anymore.

We didn't talk for a long time. I tried to talk to him but it was to hard for us to get over the past. After Anthony and I broke up I talked to Michael and I realized I really did like him. I tried to hint to him that I did but I don't think he wanted to be with me.

About a year went by we talked every once in awhile. I get a call one night and it's was him, this was weird since he never called me anymore. So he says to me I bet you can't remember when we first met. I was like yah in Caligraphy class 8th grade. Michael was like nope. Now I was confused. He told me that his mom lived with me in Seattle. I was like huh? Then he said her name Carmen Reid. I thought I was going to die. No way was that his mom. Her and my dad almost had an affair. This was not good news. Ahh he was related to her.

I moved to Renton after that and we didn't talk. One day I he sent a e-mail out to all the people that were on the e-mail he got from Jennifer, My best friend. So when I got It I remembered that that was Michaels E-mail. I added him to Katies Aim and started to talk to him. I took him awhile to believe it was me that he was talking to.

October 2002 I was at Brads house and he went to the guys night out at the shop. So I called Michael, His voice had changed so much. It was all grown up sounding. We talked for awhile and updated eachother on what was going on in eachother lives.

The April after that I was in the neighborhood so I stopped by to see him. When he went to the door he asked who it was I said Desiree but he didn't hear me. When he opened the door and saw it was me he slambed it close. I was not expecting this. It was so great. He finally got over the shock and let me in. Ok so yah He was not the Michael I remembered. I always thought he was cute but, he was grown now and so hott! He was wearing a wife beatter and some sweats and was looking so good. He had his labret pierced and his eyebrow. Damn sexy.

I stopped by to see him a couple times when I was in the neighborhood. My friend Jeremy liked Michael and needed some guy friends so he always wanted to stop by

.

The next time I saw him was at Prom. We didn't talk much after that, I got a job and was really busy. The week before a party I was throwing for Jesse, one of my best friends. I talked to Michael and invited him to go, I figured he wouldn't go but I asked anyways. Well I was wrong he went. I was so happy he never went to any of my parties. Michael ended up having such a good time that he wanted to go to all the parties of mine that he could.

The Shy One No More

Well Michael had changed so much over the years. He could dress now and he was much more outgoing. Mike started coming out every weekend. It was so weird having him there. He was instantly apart of the family. Mike was and is welcome to come over anytime he wants. Parties aren't the same without him. Well the Michael I dated is no longer around. Mike is this whole new person. He loves to drink he will drink right when he wakes up. He calls Vodka his Viagra. lol. And never dare him to do something he will do it. One of my best memories of the New Mike was when he took a shower and came out with only his underware on and a towel around his neck. I have a picture on my Picture page of him in the underware. We dared him to let us get a picture. (Oh yah and thanks for letting me put it online Mike I love ya!!) Oh yah and there not typical male underware. Lets just say I have a pair like his. Michael is the type of male that is confident in himself and his manlyhood. So he isnt ashamed of anything on himself.
