- - - - - - IT'S A DANGEROUS LOVE AFFAIR

It had been a couple weeks since Michael had been sitting at the Lake, minding his own buisness, when a girl walked up to him and started to talk with him. She had seemed really nice, her name was Michella and she spoke Bulgarian, which had been really cool. The two of them had spoken for quite a while, she was really nice. She even had accepted the fact that he had a son, whether or not he had mentioned his son's age he could not remember, but either way, she had accepted that fact. Then she had broken down crying and he had tried to figure out why, so he could tell her things would be okay. Because he wanted things to be okay, she seemed like a nice enough girl, she didn't deserve all the bull shit everyone deals with, right? Well, that had been before she told him what was wrong. He did not judge her when she said she had gotten drunk and cheated on her boyfriend, or when she said she had just met a guy and she thought she liked him too. That was normal in sixteen year old girls, right? That's what he figured at least.

No, what had killed him, and what he had agonized over for the past couple weeks since he had met Michella was the fact that right before she got up and left, eyes still full of tears she had said that he was the guy that she thought she liked. Why had she had to tell him that? That was torture to know she liked him over the past couple weeks, not being able to do anything about it, knowing she still had a boyfriend. He wante to be friends with her still, to talk with her still. After all, it was nice to have someone to speak his own language with, someone who actually spoke it fluently as though they had grown up their themselves. Everytime he saw her, she avoided him over the past two weeks. She was very subltle about it, he could never tell if she actually saw him, or if she had just happened to walk the other direction. But she always got lost in the crowd once he saw her, and that disappointed him. Once again, his only friend at Hogwarts was James and his wife Kelsey.

Oh well, today was for clearing his head. It was a regular Hogsmeade weekend for all the students of Hogwarts third year and above, but he had gotten up extra early, and dressed in a pair of old ratty jeans and a black t-shirt before he headed down to Hogsmeade so he could apparate to his ex girlfriends flat in London. When he got to her living room, his son was sitting at the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal and completely forgot about it when he saw his dad. The little toddler screamed in happyness before running over to hug his father around the legs. "Hey kiddo." he said as he picked up his little boy. His ex walked downstairs, and smiled at him.

"Hello Michael. This is a surprise, what are you doing here?" she asked, and he noticed her belly had gotten much bigger, she was pregnant with a second child. This was was by her new husband though, which was such a relief to Michael. Last time Jasmine looked like that, it was Cody in there.

"I figured I'd take him off your hands for the day. If you don't mind?" he asked her.

She smiled at him and said, "That's perfectly fine. Just get him dressed and you can take him for the day."

So that is exactly what he did, he dressed Cody, stuck a few of the pull up's training underware, that was basically a pull up diapers, into his backpack, a long with everything else a baby needs for an afternoon away from the house. Then he picked up Cody, waved good bye to Jasmine, and apparated right back to Hogsmeade. The two of them spent the day wandering around Hogsmeade, looking at everything there was to enjoy. Most seventh years are bored of Hogsmeade by now, but this was his first year at the school, so every time he went he managed to find something new.

Michael and Cody spent some time with James and Kelsey and now they were sitting at a table right outside the tattoo parlor. Which was where Michael was thinking of heading next. Because he was getting a second tattoo, either today or next time when he did not have Cody with him. The one he already had was just Cody's name written in old style bulgarian writing down the underneath of his forearm. The one he wanted today was going to go across his shoulder blades, and he already had the design picked out. Now he just had to decide when he was going to get it done.

Michella sighed. What a shitty life. Cole broke up with her after Charlie. She woke up every day and felt as though a peice of her heart had been removed. Then, she saw Michael. Oh my God. Michael.
She seen him everywhere she turned, and luckily there was always a crowd nearby she could slip into, unseen and unspotted. She was an idiot for telling him she liked him and leaving it at that. Now Cole had broke up with her she could talk to Michael but she was afriad of him not liking her back.
Why don't you go to Hogsmeade? her friend suggested. To clear your head. Michella agreed, and slipped into her OUTFIT!, and headed to Hogsmeade.
After letting her minds wander, it came to tattoos. She wanted one. One on her lower back prehaps. She was after all, at the tattoo shop. She gazed at all the pretty patterns, finding one really lovely. She counted out her galloens. Yes, she had enough! Just as she was about to go through, someone's voice caught her ear.
"Michella ...?"
Damn. Damn damn damn. Michael!
"Er, hi, Michael ... I was just ... going ... now ... See you." she cringed, turning away.

Michael sat at the table, sketching out what he wanted his next tattoo to look like on an old piece of parchment that was stuffed into the backpack he used in place of a diaper bag. Cody was sitting across from him, eating a giant ice cream cone. Yes, he would be occupied long enough. The little guy was talking constantly, getting ice cream all over his face. Michael leaned forward, taking a momentary break from drawing, and wiped his chin up and told him to chew with his mouth closed. Typical parenting, right? While Cody blabbered away about the ice cream and his daddy's drawing, and everything else he saw, Michael turned to look and see how busy it actually was inside. After all, he never had been in here, and he never saw people walking around Hogwarts sporting new tattoos. With this place right here, he would probably have a problem not getting a new one all the time. He would have to control that want, because he liked things like tattoo's and piercings because when you get a new one its a rush. And that makes him feel more alive than he has in ages.

When he looked inside he saw something he definitely was not expecting to see. He thought he imagined it for a second, because he knew how badly he wanted to see the girl. How badly he had been trying to corner her so they could just talk. Michella was standing around inside the tattoo parlor looking at all the artwork, probably trying to decide on a tattoo for herself. Before he even realized he had said anything, he mumbled her name, but it was just loud enough for her to hear him. Damn it. Now she's gonna run... he thought to himself. And indeed she did. "Er, hi, Michael ... I was just ... going ... now ... See you." was all she said as she started to make a run for it before he could catch her. "I don't think so Michella." he said with a grin on his face as he turned back and snatched up her arm, his grip was not enough to hurt her, but he was strong and he made that known. The way he held her arm would force her to turn and look at him.

Cody was laughing his little butt off in his chair as he watched his father catch up this pretty girl. "Daddy, who's this?" he asked curiously before taking a giant lick off of the ice cream cone in his hand. "This is my friend Michella." he said in his thickly accented english. He turned to look at his son, and said, "Daddy's gonna be right here by the door talking to her okay? Stay right there, or I get to eat the rest of that ice cream cone. Got it?" he told his son and Cody nodded and went back to eating his ice cream in peace. Michael snatched up his drawing off the table before it got giant globs of vanilla ice cream all over it, and stuffed it in the pocket of his ratty old jeans. He took Michella by the hand now and lead her a few steps away to the doors of the tattoo parlor. "Michella, why have you been avoiding me?"

[/i] he asked her straight up. He wanted to know what had happened, just because she liked him did not mean he did not want to see her again. That was definitely not true once he had heard about her and Cole breaking up, but he was not about to tell her that. While he waited for her answer he tried to look her in the eyes, while still checking on Cody in the corners of his eyes at the same time.

"And on top of that, what are you doing at the tattoo parlor?"[/i] he asked her. She did not seem like one who would like to get a tattoo. He did not even know if she had noticed the one he already had when they had last hung out. Then he decided that if she was getting one today that perhaps he would join her, that would make it easier on him. She could watch Cody while he was getting his done and vice versa. And if she wasn't, but she was willing to help him out with that, it would also be greatly appreciated. He did not know what her reasoning for getting a tattoo would be, but he did not question it. This tattoo wouldn't really have a meaning behind it for him, he just always liked the design. The one he already had was the name of his son and his late father, so that one definitely had a history behind it. He wondered now if she were getting on today, what would it be of? Oh well, that was not his main concern at the moment, he was still waiting on her to tell him why she had been avoiding him for nearly over two weeks.

"Busted!" she hissed under her breath. Michael had such a hold on her she was forced to look at him. Not that she didn't want to look at the cute face before her, the one that she desired. The one she oh-so-wanted. She stared into his eyes. She was completely oblivous to the young boy that was no doubt his son! Her eyes widened in an alarmed fashion when Michael stated he was going to talk to her. "Says who?" she hissed, struggling to get away from him, but no. His grip was too strong. He then asked why she had been avoiding him.
"I-I've not been avoiding you... I've just b-been walking the other way when you walked near ..."[/i] Michella said lamely.
"Fine. Look, it'd be hard. To hang around with you but not actually doing anything. When I see a boy I like, I act on it, alright? But you-you're differnet. I suppose you heard Cole and I broke up? Yet I still can't go out with you because there's no way someone like you likes me."[/i] She sighed sadly.
Michella rolled her eyes when he asked her why she was at the tattoo parlour. "I'm here to wash my underwear. Why do you THINK im here?"[/i] She said sarcastically. She held out a peice of parchement. "I want it to look like this. Do you like it?"[/i]
She looked over at his son, sudden fondness growing in her eyes. "Cute. Not as cute as you of course but -- OHMIGOD!" she shreiked, realising what she had just said. "Sorry! I'm such an idiot!"

When he turned Michella around, he expected her to be furious with him for stopping her escaping once more. She was so obviously avoiding him, he wondered how come she tried to hide it. Especially when she had nothing better to tell him except that every time he was there that she happened to be walking the other way. That was just completely not possible. He did not want her to lie to him about why she thought that she could not hang out with him still. She had no idea that he kind of liked her too, and he was hoping she would have come to hang out with him long before now, especially when Cole and her broke up. She had admitted it herself that she liked him, so why not pursue him now that she was single? Was she too embarrassed? Afraid of another relationship?

Soon enough he got her to say something at least. Her reaction to him pulling her back and basically telling her that they were going to talk was, 'Says who?' and he smiled at her. Exactly what he would expect from her, and it made his grin a little bigger. He did not have much to laugh and smile about except when he was with Cody, so someone other than his son putting him in this good of a mood was nice. Michael had had a hard life, and maybe one day it would be easier to just relax around people but even now three years later it was hard. Maybe that was something he would eventually work up the courage to tell Michella about. He wanted to trust someone to tell them his whole story, other than James that is. But James and him had clicked as friends instantly. He hoped Michella would not try and run off when he pulled her away from his son and started to speak in Bulgarian.

Next thing he knew, she was answering his question in Bulgarian as well. She told him that it would be hard to be around him because she liked him, and that when she liked someone, she acted on it. Michael said nothing to this, yet. Because she continued to speak, and besides he completely understood and that was what landed him with the adorable little kid eating the ice cream at the table near them. If it were not for acting on hormones at first chance, he would not be a father at seventeen years old. Not that he ever regretted Cody or how he came into the world. He just wished that he had not been drunk when it had happened, considering it had been the first and last sexual intercourse he had ever had. Not that he was looking for that, he would really just rather satisfy his mental needs first, because after all the heartache his life had put him through, that was all he needed.

She made it known to him that she thought they could not go out because there was no way that someone like him would like someone like her. Which was completely the opposite. He really did like her, he had the whole while. He wanted to get to know her better sure, but he could definitely do that while dating her, after all it had been a while since he had been in a serious relationship, but he remembered just how it should work. Michael really did have an interest in making it work with her, but his only problem would be that she just couldn't get interested in another guy or he would be in for heartbreak once again. But wasn't it worth it to give it a shot? After all, she seemed to like him a whole hell of a lot, what else was he missing here?

He stayed silent until she answered his question about what she was doing here. She was of course, her adorable sarcastic self first before showing him the picture of the tattoo she wanted. This was perfect, maybe he would be getting his today after all. Michael smiled at her, but not the goofy, 'I've got you and you can't get away' grin he was wearing before, a real and honest smile. She asked him if he liked the tattoo, and he said, "Yes, I do like it. Very much." Just after he got those words out she looked over at his giggling and still babbling two year old son. She told him that he was cute, but not as cute as his father. Then she pretty much flipped out not believing what she had just let come out of her mouth. That part made Michael laugh a little, and it was not meant to be a mean laugh.

But before she could even react the wrong way to his laugh, he leaned down and kissed her. It was a short lived kiss, but he made sure she got the idea. "I would want to be with you actually. Michella I was hoping you were single when I first saw you that day. But you weren't." he left that part of the conversation off there, letting her fill in the blanks however she pleased. Because he did want to date her, and he hoped that was enough for her to say yes. Then he turned back to looking at Cody for a moment, "Yeah, he is cute, huh?" he said in his accented english. Then he walked over to his son, and took the last tiny bit of ice cream cone from his hand, and what did not fit in the little boys mouth, he ate himself. Then he grabbed a napkin from the table and washed his hands and face. "Cody, do you want Michella to join us inside?" he said shortly, picking him up and holding him, grabbing the backpack from the ground and walking back to Michella by the doors to the parlor.

"This is the one I'm getting," he said, handing her the paper from his pocket, the one he had been drawing on when he saw her. "Common, I'll pay." he said with a smile.

CLICK ME!
IT'S THE LAST ONE ON THIS PIC THAT MIKE'S GETTING ON HIS SHOULDERS.

During the time she was explaining this Michael was silent. This freaked her out a little. Did I say the wrong thing ... ? She asked herself inwardly. Then finally, he told her he liked her tattoo, which was good. Really good.
Michella literally kicked herself when she said the whole cute thing. Wait - Michael was laughing! She was about to say something to tell him this wasn't the way he was supposed to be acting but he got there first. She felt his lips on hers. Michella was silent and stunned - and soooo happy. Unfortunatly, she didn't act like it though - her hands were hanging at her sides like an orang taun (sp?!) and her lips weren't working. By the time it was finished was the time Michella was ready for it. Typical!
"I would want to be with you actually. Michella I was hoping you were single when I first saw you that day. But you weren't."
Thinking this over the younger girl nodded.She wrapped her arms round his waist and hugged him. She then looked up at him. "I would like it too, very much."[/i]
She then leaned up and thier lips touched once more, this time it was a little longer than last time.

"Yeah, he is cute, huh?"
"Yeah!" was all Michella could reply. She waited for him and probably his son to return. As he handed her the parchement, she nodded. "That's really cool."
"No, you needn't pay. I've enough money, dont worry."

NOTES!? Arghh I just woke up so sorryit suuucks.

When he kissed Michella, she did not have much of a reaction until the kiss was over. Which he found very cute, she had been so surprised that he had done it. What made him even happier was that she went and kissed him again just as soon as he was about to turn and take a look at his son who was so preoccupied with his ice cream to notice anything else. Michael kissed her back, his tongue moving in sync with hers and it felt so nice. He had of course, kissed several girls, probably more, but not one where the electricity went off in his brain like this. Not since Cody's mother Jasmine at least. So having an equal reaction on her end he was pretty sure that he and Michella were going to start dating here soon. Because he knew he would really enjoy that, and he knew from their last encounter that she had a history with guys that probably was not so good, but he had an even worse one with girls and the two year old proof was sitting at the table near them.

When she was done they talked for a few moments, but not long before he went over to clean up Cody. When the ice cream cone was finally devoured completely with help from Michael, he took him over to Michella and told her he was going to pay for both of their tattoos. She told him there was no need, that she had money. "And what kind of person would I be if I did not offer? Save you're money. I have more than enough on me." he explained. Which was completely true. He always had a good stash of gold on him, and that was for various reasons. He needed to be able to buy anything Cody might need when he was with him, and he went through a pack of cigarettes a day, and of course he had that little habit of smoking dope as well. Which was something he wondered if Michella would have a problem with, but figured if she did he would just not do it around her. It was the only thing besides his son that numbed the pain that was going through his mind all day, every day.

"Don't argue. I'm paying and that's that."

[/i] he said with a soft smile towards her. Cody, who was resting against Michael's hip, kept looking at Michella and finally, he decided he was not going to be shy any more. He stopped slumping against his father and straightened up, smiling at her and said, "Hi! Who are you?" Michael smiled at Cody and looked to Michella once more. "Go on, introduce yourself." he told her with a grin. This was why he loved his son so much. Everything he did was so adorable and innocent. It was funny to think that this little mistake would be all the happiness he had in his life. But then again, the way he was heading before Cody was born, he needed a little more happiness in his life. Michael had been going completely the wrong way with his life before and this had been exactly the thing he needed to get his life back on tract. Even if it did have to be the most major life change anyone could really have, it was worth it. And as soon as he was done in school and had his own place, he was talking to Jasmine about letting Cody live with him full time.

"Let's go, shall we?" he said, breaking away from his thoughts once more and holding the door open for Michella.

"And what kind of person would I be if I did not offer? Save you're money. I have more than enough on me."
"Um ... you'd be a sane one? Look I am paying for myself!" The girl laughed, because they were acting like a couple already. Well, the sort of couple she knew about from her friends. Never from her mother and father who were once always arguing about mother's flirting until they split up. She stayed with her dad because she knew the boyfriend didn't like her and truth be told, had once tried to rape her but since she was so strong minded she kicked him in the balls and ran. She giggled at the thought.
Michella sighed. She didn't want to seem too pushy. She nodded reluctantly, "okay ..." she agreed doubtfully. Just then his son decided not to be shy. Stiffling a giggle, she replied, bending down and looking him in the eye, "I'm Michella. Daddy's ..." She looked up at Michael and grinned. "... friend." She leaned back up to Michael.
"Eh .. come on then."She shrugged, barely able to keep the grin off her sweet face.

A few hours later, Michella slouched out of the shop. Her back was stinging slightly. She looked up at Michael. "How ya feeling?" she asked softly. She grinned then because Cody was such a cool two year old. She smiled at him (Cody, not Michael) and said, "Were you bored in there?"
She then said to Michael, "So ... what now?"

When he asked what kind of person he would be if he had not offered to pay, she told him he would be a sane one. Wow, if only she knew the half of it. Michael used to be the furthest thing from sane and so now doing something like that was just a small gesture for the girl he liked. Something insane would be going back into his drinking habit. Yes, he had broken his rules once this year and gone out with a friend while they were drinking. But he took a sip or two of a drink and put it down. It brought up too many bad memories to continue with that. So he had just let James enjoy his company while he was drinking because there was no way he could start that again. Perhaps one day, he would explain to Michella his whole past, and tell her about the depression and the drinking and how he wound up with Cody. Considering it was not a relationship but a drunken one night stand that allowed Cody to come into this world.

She finally agreed to let him pay for her tattoo as well, however reluctant she may have been to do so. Michael knew lots of girls did not want the guy to pay for everything, especially when they were not officially dating yet, but Michael had more gold than he needed anyway. After all, everything his parents owned was left to him. He had been put as owner of their old house when he was fourteen when the tradgidy happened and he had sold it this last summer when he turned of age and could do so. He had not set foot in that house except to move his clothes to his Aunt and Uncle's shortly after his dad's death. Now he had the gold they left him, plus the gold he got for selling the house. Like he said, more than enough.

Michael smiled as Cody asked Michella who she was and then he told her to go on and introduce herself to him. She said that her name was Michella and she was daddy's friend. But she looked up at him curiously when she said friend. Like she had been wondering if she could say girlfriend or not. Michael wanted to correct her and say, no she's my girlfriend, to his son. But he was not sure if the two of them were ready to say that to anybody, even an innocent two year old. But soon enough Michella changed the conversation and the two of them were in the tattoo parlor showing the artist their designs. Michael went first because he had already had a tattoo done before, and his would take a lot longer. Soon after Michael was done, still lying on his stomach on the table, Michella went to do the same. Cody sat in front of Michael on his table since Mike did not want to sit up just yet.

Another hour later the three of them were leaving the parlor after Michael paid. (Which Michella still did not seem to happy about.) Michael had Cody walking on the ground now, holding his hand so he would not stray. He would have picked him up so they could walk faster, but if Cody hit any part of his should blades right now it would hurt him like crazy. And of course the little boy would not know he had done anything wrong so this worked out quite fine for the mean time. Michella asked him how he was feeling and he smirked. "Only stings a bit," he half lied. He had managed to be very still and not complain much during the inking process, which was good because he thought it would be a lot worse. His first tattoo had not been so bad, but it was a lot smaller and not on such a sensitive part of his body. "Yourself?" he questioned her curiously.

Then Michella asked Cody if he was bored in the tattoo parlor. Michael smiled, she really did seem to like his son, which was good. He had never met a girl who was so completely okay with this right off the back. Most girls think you might go back to the baby's mother or that if you were irresponsible enough to have a child when you were fifteen years old that all you looked for was sex or something. And that was just not true with Michael, and he was able to tell that Michella could see that already which made him feel better. Cody shook his head at Michella and said, "I want to color on daddy too!" pointing up at the new tattoo. Michael laughed and then answered Michella's next question to him, which was what to do next. "I don't drop him off for a couple hours still. We could grab a bite to eat?"
