Secrets 19

Later on that afternoon Michael dropped off Elizabeth and James at her parents house and then headed to the pool for practice. Elizabeth decided to do some laundry and chill out for the afternoon.

When Michael got to the pool he headed in and changed. Then he headed into the pool area where he saw Bob, Katie and his other teammates. They were all getting ready for this afternoons practice. Michael walked over to Bob to see what sort of plan they were working on today.

"Oh good there you are Michael" said Bob looking at Michael and then down at his clipboard.
"Yeah I am here. What's the plan for today's grueling practice?" joked Michael.
"Keep on joking there Michael and it will not be fun for you today" exclaimed Bob.
"Sorry Bob."
"Just get in there and start warming up because I am not going to be easy on you guys because I was nice and gave you the morning off" declared Bob.
Michael dove in and started his laps because he did not want to tick Bob off anymore. They had a pretty serious practice and Bob really was not easy on them but that was good because they needed it.

Finally after practice was over everyone was heading home. They all were exhausted but it had been a great practice. Michael was contemplating going back and hang out with Elizabeth but then he decided against it and went home. He decided to call her and see what she and James were up to. Elizabeth's cell phone rang and she looked at it and saw Michael's name pop up so she answered her phone.

"Hey Michael what's up?"
"Hey beautiful. Not much. Just sitting here in front of the tv watching Sports Center and wishing that my gorgeous fiance was sitting next to me so I can hold her and maybe even make out with her too."
"Poor Michael that sucks that she is not there next to you so that you can make out with her" laughed Elizabeth.
"So....when will you come home? I really miss you and want you and James here with me."
"Actually I was thinking that maybe we might be coming home this weekend. But I still want us to go slow with everything. Is that cool with you, Michael?"
"Yeah Lizzy I am cool with that because I love you and want everything to work out with us."
"Ok then you will see me and James on Saturday. I love you too Michael."
"Oh god I can't wait to have you home. Love ya Lizzy. Good Night"
"Good Night Michael" Elizabeth said as she hung up her phone.

That evening both Michael and Elizabeth both slept really well knowing that they would be together and start over with clean slate because they loved each other always and forever.
