Tracie is what made me explore the beautiful friendship Kyle and Isabel have and I know she doesn’t see anything more my goal is to convince her, ok not convince but maybe persuade. Special thanks to Lucia she is my beta for all the juicy parts and for the POV’s, and for the encouragement, it means alot, thanks so much! AND the TITLE!

Prologue



Kyle

I still can’t believe everything that has gone down in the past year. If someone had told me I would be a member of the “I know an Alien club” I would have told them that they were crazy and needed medication. Ever since I was shot and El Presidente saved me I’ve been really thankful that I found Buddha - OK, you can laugh but it has really helped me to focus and after what we all went through these last couple of days, I’m happy I have something....anything to take the focus off of what happened to Alex.

I still can’t believe he’s gone...Alex was the person who seemed to connect us all together, and now that he’s gone we are all just ripping apart. Well, I have decided that I am going to be here for Isabel; she really needs someone and we used to hang out a little. Back when we were part of the “In Crowd” we always got along OK. I thought it was a bit weird how she always hung out with her brother and Michael - of course I didn’t know why at the time and I do now, boy do I know now....

I still don’t want to think about how this is all going to affect us in the long run. Tess and Max seem to be getting closer because of Alex’s death. It seems weird to me that Max isn’t being there for his sister more than he is. She looks like someone has run her over with a truck and let me tell you Isabel Evans never looks bad...ever. I’m going to find her today and see if I can try to take her mind off of things for a little while...I heard about this dream walking thing - maybe she would do it for me, I have a few ideas as to where we can take it...


Isabel

Sometimes I think I’m living on the dream plane, or maybe I wish I could. At least in my dreams I can have some control over what is happening. Alex would never leave my side in MY dreams...I still can’t make myself believe he’s gone, and if that isn’t bad enough everyone is fighting. I almost admitted to Max that I think that maybe Liz is right. I’m so stupid and scared. I should have just told him that she was right...but then I would have been admitting out loud what I already know in my heart - I killed Alex. OK, maybe not with my bare hands but knowing me got him killed, loving me got him killed, so it’s because of me he that he’s dead.

How can I go on knowing this? I’m supposed to just get up everyday knowing the one person who loved me - the real me - is dead because of me...I just don’t know if I can do that, and Max is so busy doing god knows what with Tess. Michael has his hands full taking care of Maria. And Liz, well, she is on a mission and I should be helping her, but if I do then I once again have to admit the real reason Alex died. UGH!

My head just feels like it’s going to explode! I have noone to turn to...I miss him so much. I know this sounds weird but I see him, mostly in my dreams but sometimes he’s just there. I know of course that he’s not real, but I can still feel him. All this alien power and what is it good for? NOTHING! Oh wait, I can kill people, and go into their dreams but can I save the person I love, NO! If I don’t get out of here soon, I think I might do something crazy. Michael works off his emotions right? So can I...ok no I can’t. There has to be something, someone I can talk to about Alex.




~~~~~~

Kyle finds Isabel sitting on the bleachers staring at a picture of Alex. Walking over with a cup of coffee, he hands it to her and sits down.

“Isabel, what are you doing here?....and can I say you look like shit?” he tells her to see how she will react.

“It’s not going to work Kyle,” she says, eyeing him. “I know what I look like and right now how I look reflects how I feel.”

“Isabel, we all feel like shit, but look at me,” he says putting his hands up to his chest, “I still look hot.”

Isabel lets a little giggle escape before she realizes it and puts her hand over her mouth, stopping herself.

“Hey it’s OK to laugh Isabel,” Kyle says, putting his hand over hers and pulling it away from her mouth. “Shhhhh,” Kyle presses his fingers to her lips softly before she can protest.“He would want you to,” he pauses for a moment, “I know - everyone says that to you but YOU know Alex would mean it,” he says looking into her eyes, keeping her hand in his.

Isabel allows the comforting feeling of someone worrying about her rush in. Looking down she realizes that Kyle is still holding her hand and she jerks it back as if she has been burnt. Almost immediately she turns red, feeling badly about what she has done “I’m ....sorry...I didn’t mean...” she stutters.

“It’s ok, no harm no foul,” Kyle replies, smiling at her gently.

They sit in silence for a few minutes until Kyle jumps up, pulling Isabel to her feet.

“You know what you need?” Kyle exclaims. “You need to have some fun...let’s go get into trouble,” he says as he pulls on her arm.

“Kyle, I don’t wanna do anything. Right now I hate my brother and Alex is gone...I would rather pout,” she answers softy.

“Well, the hating thing we can work with,” he says with a evil smile, “all you need is your powers, lets go!”

She lets herself be dragged to his car. “Kyle where are we going?” she asks, unsure of what he has in store for them.

“Just get in, and you’ll see,” he states matter of factly.

First he has to make Isabel have some fun. Although he has known her for awhile he isn’t sure what she would think is fun so he is taking a chance.

Part 1


Isabel


I’m sitting here in the car with Kyle and I can’t believe what a great day we had. I feel guilty that I had fun. Kyle had to remind me several times that it was OK to think about something else besides Alex....and he did it in a way that I would never have thought would work for me. I mean, come on, I’m the “Ice Princess,” right? Show no emotions - that’s the easy part. The hard part? Trying not to act on the emotions. What a way to live. At that moment I knew I that was not really living. I was just going through the motions.

Kyle took me to our old elementary school playground. The school has been closed for a few years and at first I was a little irritated. “Why am I here?” I thought to myself. I was surprised when he pulled me out of the car and headed for the merry-go-round. You know - that wonderful piece of playground equipment that must have been invented by a 5 year old because it’s so dangerous, yet so cool! You can get on it and go in circles and forget everything - which is exactly the point. We spent a couple of hours not really talking, just reliving our childhood. Kyle and I went from the swing to the slide to the merry-go-round and back again. It was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. My mind felt blank for a while....I had no worries.

But of course it had to end. When he looked over at me sitting on the merry-go-round as it came to a slow stop I knew we had to go soon. I felt like such an idiot when I burst into tears at that thought. I mean, of course we couldn’t stay there....Kyle was so nice about the whole thing, trying not to make a big deal out of it. I have to admit when he took me into his arms to comfort me I felt safe again, something I had not felt since Alex....but it’s not fair to compare them. Alex IS the love of my life, but Kyle is slowly becoming a great friend.


Kyle

When we first started driving towards the playground I wasn’t sure if this was going to work. I knew this was a place where I can go to clear my mind so I hoped it might help Isabel as well. I was surprised at how she seemed to enjoy herself; she seemed to be having fun going around and around on the merry-go-round. Then it occurred to me how much that little ride on a school playground was like her life. I found myself watching her as her hair flowed out in long blonde waves, the smiles floating in and out. What the hell am I thinking about?! I’m trying to be a good friend. She doesn’t need anymore then that right now and it’s not like she would consider it anyway.

When she broke down and started crying, it took everything I had not to take her in my arms and tell her I would take care of her forever. I knew she needed to cry, heck, we all need a good cry lately. In the end I did take her into my arms, and she melted. I could have stayed like that forever, but I know...

All I can say is that from this point on Isabel and I forged a bond of friendship that I hadn’t think was possible. With everyone else fighting, we seem to be the only ones able to keep it together. I really wish I knew what was up with Tess and Max. Michael and Maria seem to be getting closer and working things out, but they stay to themselves. Liz is staying away from all of us. Max always looks like he is in a daze and Tess is leading him around on a chain. Hmmm, maybe I should talk to Isabel about that...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Isabel, I think we should talk about Max,” Kyle says gently.

Isabel looks out into the sunset. She and Kyle have picked up some takeout at the Crash Down and driven out to the desert to watch the sunset and eat.

“What can I say about Max?” she answers.

Kyle breathes deeply, not wanting to make Isabel upset. Something has to be done.

“Look, I know you don’t want to talk about this, but something is wrong with Max, and it’s not just Max being Max. I think something is really wrong!” Kyle says a little more firmly.

Isabel looks over at him, knowing how hard this is for Kyle to bring up - the fact that even he is worried about Max has to mean something.

“Ok, I can talk to him....do you think that would help?” she says, still looking at him.

“Isabel, I’m not sure that would help, you might need some Alien voodoo,” Kyle says seriously.

“Alien voodoo?”Isabel says, laughing.

Kyle looked over at her, holding his face stern, “Yes, you know what I mean...maybe a dream walk or going into his mind and looking around a little,” he finishes, looking over at her as he speaks.

Isabel laughs out loud. She can’t help it; the way Kyle said it made it sound funny. Kyle is not amused. He jumps down off the hood of the car and walks off. Isabel stops laughing then and watches him. Finally, she gets up and walks over to where he has stopped.

“Kyle, look I will try to dream walk him tonight, I’m not sure it will work though...we have not been getting along and I’m not so sure he will let me in, but I will try,” Isabel says as she moves in front of him.

Kyle doesn’t know why he had gotten mad, but he is getting the feeling something is wrong. Looking up at Isabel, he can see that she feels bad so he reaches out and pulls her into a hug. Kyle never knew before that Isabel was an affectionate person, but ever since they have become close friends she seems to need the hugs. And of course he is OK with that.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Few Days Later


Isabel


OK, the weirdest thing is happening to me. For the last couple of nights I have tried to dream walk Max and I can’t get in at all! I kind of expected to have a hard time getting in but this was weird. It was like I got in and saw nothing but black hole. Now the one thing I can’t understand is that last night when I tried to get into Max’s dream I ended up in Kyle’s. Now I’m not sure how I got there but when the haze cleared I saw Kyle. At first I thought he was in Max’s dream but then I could feel that I was in Kyle’s dream and I decided that since I was already there I would follow him. I was not prepared for what I saw...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“TESS!” he shouts. “You saw Tess in MY dream!?!?” he yells again.

Isabel flinches at Kyle’s anger. She knew he would be upset but she just had to tell him right away. After the dream walk she threw some clothes on, went over to his house and had him drive out to the rock quarry. She wouldn’t say why until they had gotten there.

“Kyle, calm down and listen!” she insisted. “Tess was in your head. NOT just your dream - I saw things...I saw things she did to you...I saw something I don’t understand and you have to help me figure them out!” she yells, raising her voice more then she had meant to.

Kyle looks out into the darkness, worry clouding his face.

“OK, Isabel...what do we have to do?” he asks.

“I need you to let me dream walk you and be aware that I’m there so you can help...and then I might need you to help me dream walk Max,” Isabel says, the last part a little quieter than the first.

“Oh joy! Dream walk Max, that sounds like fun....” He takes a deep breath and says, “So I guess you want to do this right here, right now?”

“Yes, we can just get in the back seat. If we are, umm .....touching...it’s easier,” she replies sheepishly.

Kyle glances her way and raises an eyebrow, “touching...I know you want me Izzy but geez...” he laughs, trying to make light of the situation.

“Kyle,” Isabel says, giving him the look.

He laughs again and climbs into the back seat of the car, waiting for Isabel to join him. She climbs in after him and looks around awkwardly. Kyle reaches up and grabs her around the waist moving her so she can sit between his legs and lean against him. At first Isabel felt tense but she knows that she trusts Kyle so she begins to relax.

“See you in my dreams,” he whispers as he leans forward.

She closes her eyes and waits until his breathing evens out before touching his hand with her fingers.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dream walk


The mist clears and Kyle appears in front of her. Not expecting it to be so quick she jumps involuntarily.

“Kyle, how the hell did you find me?” she wonders aloud.

“I don’t know. I fell asleep thinking of you and here I am,” he says, his dream self shrugging.

“OK, well we will figure that out later let’s go in and find out what’s wrong,” Isabel says as she grabs his hand and leads him towards a dark spot. When they got there she knocks on it.

“OUCH!” he yelled.

“Oh god, Kyle I’m sorry” she says, reaching for him.

“Got ya!” he laughs.

Isabel smacks him on the arm and once again gives him “the look.” He stops laughing then and puts his hand on the dark spot and it starts to fade....

They both gasp simultaneously as a scene is played out in front of them:

Tess and Alex fighting.

Tess putting her hands on Alex’s head, him dropping to the ground...

Kyle walking in.

Tess asking him to carry her duffle bag.

Kyle carrying Alex’s body....

Tess telling Kyle thanks and instructing him to go back into the house.

Tess driving off with Alex’s body.


Isabel has tears streaming down her cheeks and Kyle is holding her hand. He’s crying too. Isabel pulls her hand away quickly and looks at Kyle. He feels afraid to look at her...what had he done?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pulling out of the deam walk, Isabel gets up and moves to the outside of the car. Kyle continues to sit in the car as he tries to figure out what to say.

“Isabel,” he says softy as he exits the car.

She ignores him. He walks closer to her but she holds up a hand. Kyle turns and walks back to the car. He sits down on the hood to think about what he has seen. Something isn’t right about this...Suddenly he realizes that it’s Tess that has been bothering him all along. Something was off with her and he sensed it.

After a little while, Isabel walks back to the car and leans against the hood.

“I’m going to talk and I don’t want you to say anything till I’m done.” She pauses to make sure he has heard her. He nods. “I want to be mad at you Kyle, I want to be so mad at you for being there when Alex...” She closes her eyes for a moment before continuing. “BUT you know what? One thing I know for sure with all my heart is you would not do that to Alex or anyone else unless you were mind warped, and that much is obvious....” She turns towards him and grabs his hand, looking into his eyes as she says, “You need to understand that this not your fault. I’m sure that Alex knows this as well as I do. Please tell me that you know it too, OK?”
She finishes speaking but doesn’t take her eyes of him.

Kyle locks eyes with her, seeing only understanding and forgiveness, which is not what he expected at all.

“OK Isabel, I will try to forgive myself and accept your forgiveness too if you will just admit that this is not your fault either,” he counters.

Isabel stares at him in shock, stumbling on each word, “I...but...how...did...”

He pulls her in for a hug and Isabel embraces him, pulling away a little as she whispers, “But it is my fault - she went after him because of me. If I had never pulled him into this he would still be alive!”

Kyle grabs her face with his hands, forcing her to look at him.

“Isabel, then I am to blame too...she lives in my damn house, and I carried his body!” he says loudly.

After Kyle’s outburst they both fall silent, keeping their eyes locked as they try to absorb everything that they have just learned together.

They stay like that just gazing into one another’s eyes for awhile, building strength from one another. Silently, they both decide that they have to stop Tess...but how?

A/N: Sorry about the long wait on this story...I seemed to have taken a little turn I wasn’t planning on doing, but after many long talks (thanks Linds and Michelle) I feel ok...yea I said ok, not great...about it. So many thanks to my beta, she’s WONDEFUL! Love ya Lu! Thanks to all those reading...on with the show.












Kyle-

Sometimes I have to wonder - how the hell do I get myself into these things? Ok, so after I found out that Max, Isabel, Michael and Tess were aliens, I could have just left it all behind after that, just walked away and kept their secret. But no, instead I get myself stuck right smack in the middle of it all. And now? Well, now I couldn’t walk away from Isabel if I wanted to.

Yes, I said it - OK, thought it. She has me hook, line and sinker. I remember watching Alex be so into her and wondering to myself how you could fall for a girl like that. OK, I did realize that Isabel wasn’t just any girl but come on, right? Now I understand...boy, do I understand. Not a minute goes by that I’m not thinking of her and it’s driving me nuts. I know she’s mourning and just needs a friend…

But now that I know that I want to be with her, I want to be everything to her and I’m not sure I can just be her friend. What am I going to do? I feel like such a shit because with the new development of all the crap with Tess or should I say Ava I should be mourning Tess more, but for some reason I can only think about Isabel...


Isabel-

What a big mess! Can’t anything in our lives be simple? Not only did Alex have to die, at the hands of Tess...oh, I mean Ava… Ugh! How can I even keep up with all of this crap? I guess I should try to get this all straight. Ava is the one who killed Alex. First she switched places with Tess when Tess and Max went to New York. Since Tess wasn’t willing to go through with the plan that Ava wanted Ava just killed her and took her place. I feel so bad for Kyle now too. I know he cared about Tess and had been wondering what had been going on with her lately.

At least it turned out that we were able to stop Ava from going through with her plan to get pregnant by my brother and take the baby back to Antar. Even thinking the words, I’m still in shock. I thought maybe Kyle would just want some time to himself but when I suggested that he got all mad. I think I have to go talk to him...I just hope he’s OK.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isabel got up to follow Kyle out the door of the Crashdown where everyone had gathered after the big showdown. She glanced over at Max and gave him a small smile. He smiled back, cradling Liz in his arms. Isabel was happy for them, they got to be together now AND they had found out a lot of useful information from Ava. Most it not surprising. But right then Isabel needed to get out of there and deal with Kyle – she couldn’t just bask in her brother’s hard won happiness, or relief or whatever it was he must be feeling.

Isabel signaled to Max that she was leaving and with a small wave, headed out the door.

Kyle watched her walk out the door, knowing instantly that she was coming to look for him. He had stopped and was leaning against his car. Isabel smiled when she saw him, knowing she should be unhappy about everything that has happened but feeling completely unable to mope as her eyes caught sight of his handsome features. She was just so glad that he was OK – that they all were (well not ALL, poor Alex and…and Tess, but at least no one else had suffered at that evil bitch’s hands). The thought of something else terrible happening to one of her friends…was something she thought about too much.

Isabel walked slowly over to Kyle, placing her hand on his back in a reassuring manner as she whispered his name. At the sound of her voice, he turned to face towards her and leaned down to place a feathery kiss on her lips. She gasped in surprise and unconsciously raised a finger to her lips.

“Isabel...are you OK?” Kyle asked, suddenly concerned.

Isabel was shocked - had she just imagined that Kyle was kissing her?

“I’m fine Kyle...I...umm…I guess I’m just tired,” she stuttered, feeling the blushing heat that indicated that her face was turning red.

“OK, maybe we should get out of here....wanna go to ‘our place’?” Kyle asked gently.

Isabel really felt like she ought to tell him no, but she didn’t want to be alone, nor did she want to be away from Kyle. He had become her best friend and so much more in the last few months. Isabel was starting to feel guilty for the way she couldn’t help but compare him to Alex. They were very different, but she could see some things in Kyle that reminded her of Alex, and she thought maybe that wasn’t fair to Kyle or to Alex’s memory. She had thought about bringing it up, but she was afraid of what Kyle would say. She didn’t want him to think that she was hanging around with him just because he reminded her of Alex. Honestly, that wasn’t it at all. Yes, she missed Alex with all her heart and there were some similarities that she saw in Kyle BUT she also loved Kyle for so many things that were just his own.

Holy Shit! She loved Kyle.

Kyle noticed that Isabel was staring off into space as they drove out to their special spot. He could only assume that it was because of everything that had happened that day. They had come very close to something really bad happening. He still couldn’t believe Ava had tricked them all and killed two people just so that she could make with her wicked plan to get pregnant by Max and make all the aliens go back to Antar. Like Max would ever sleep with Ava/Tess! He loved Liz...no matter what. THAT just wouldn’t happen.

The very thought of losing Isabel had made Kyle almost throw up when he heard. Yes, he was very upset to find out that Tess had died at the hands of her dupe, and he knew that he and Tess could possibly have had something...maybe. But in the face of the immediate danger that they had all been in today, other things (like Isabel’s safety) had taken precedence. Also, there was a part of him that was relieved to find out that it hadn’t been the girl that he had cared about who had done all of those terrible things. It was all so confusing.

All he knew right now was that he really felt a connection to Isabel that he had never felt with any other girl. And to think that he had thought at one time that he was in love Liz... He did love Liz but his love for her was as a close friend, whereas with Isabel he was getting images in his mind of a future with her and it scared the crap out of him.

When they got to the desert, Kyle parked and grabbed a few blankets out of the trunk for them to sit on then they settled down to watch the sunset. After sitting there for a few minutes Isabel finally spoke.

“Kyle, how are you doing with all of this...I mean really?” she asked hesitantly.

“I’m doing amazingly well....I guess nothing surprises me anymore, I can’t even pretend to be shocked,” Kyle answered.

Isabel looked over at his face and burst into tears...

“Um, Ok, so I lied when I said I couldn’t be shocked...what’s the matter?” he asked as he pulled her into his arms.

“I just feel like all of you have no choice but to deal with all of this crazy alien stuff and it makes me sick...I mean, did any of you really ask for this?” she replied as huge tears dripped down her face. “I mean look what happened to Alex....and Tess, she never even got a chance...and if anything happens to you, I don’t think I could handle it!” Isabel sobbed.

“Isabel, I agree that none of us knew what was coming but any one of us could have walked away from you...but we choose to stay. Alex was a victim but you have to know he would have done anything for you and the others. Please don’t cry, this isn’t your fault...did you ask for this? NO! You didn’t, it’s no more your fault than Max and Michael’s...or Tess for that matter. It’s going to be OK, I promise. I won’t ever leave you....” He punctuated his speech by placing a light kiss on her forehead, followed by a kiss on her nose and then moving down to gently kiss her lips. After a moment he backed away a little. And when he looked into her eyes he saw some level of shock, but mostly desire.

Isabel leaned forward and kissed him, asking for permission with her tongue to gain entrance to the comforting warmth of his mouth. He responded by opening his mouth and letting out a small moan. As their tongues studied each and every curve of one another, Kyle and Isabel found themselves moving to lie back on the blanket. Kyle’s hands gently guided their bodies down as they both continued the process of learning and exploring each other. Isabel threaded her hands through his hair in sensuous movements before she slowly progressed down his back. Kyle tentatively brought his hands up to her sides just below her breasts. He stopped there and hesitated – breathing hard. Feeling his uneasiness, Isabel arched up against him and guided him to touch her. Kyle was flooded and overcome with a passion he had never felt before. As he brought his hands to meet her breasts and outlined the nipple - pulling on it ever so slightly - his breath caught and Isabel responded by kissing him harder. Desperately needing the skin to skin contact, she pushed him up a little and pulled off his shirt and then hers before she pulled him back down over her.


Kyle almost let it all go when he felt her breasts rubbing up against his skin. But he struggled to keep his passion in check as he reached between them and unclasped her bra, letting it fall down the sides of her breasts. Pulling back a bit he looked down at her lying there with the moonlight shining on her and couldn’t believe they were doing this. Her eyes were so full of passion he couldn’t believe was being bestowed on him and he didn’t think that he had ever seen her look more beautiful. Kissing his way down her neck he stopped to lavish attention on one of her breasts with his mouth, and then moved over to the other one, all the while never letting his hands go idle. Isabel was beyond thinking - for a split second she felt the guilt rising up inside of her but then her need took over. She just wanted to be with Kyle so badly.

Kyle continued to ravish her skin, moving down her stomach kissing and licking as he went. When he reached the top of her pants he stopped to glance up to her eyes, searching for some kind of permission. The sparkle in her eyes told him his answer and so he started to unbutton her jeans and pull them off her. She lifted her hips eagerly so that he could slide them down her legs, exposing her green lace panties (a matching set with the bra that was undone but still dangling around her arms). Kyle kissed the top of her panties, smelling her arousal as he also felt the heat coming off of her in waves. He reached down to undo his jeans but Isabel stopped him with her hand, deciding to do it for him. He leaned up and took the bra from around her arms and then there was only his boxers and her panties as a barrier between them. Kyle stared at her longingly for a moment before he laid down next to her and leaned in for another passion-soaked kiss. Isabel grabbed his arms and pulled him on top of her, grinding against his dick. Hands moving frantically over the hard curves of his body, Isabel moved underneath him seeking release.

“Isabel, we can’t...I don’t have anything...and I don’t think we should do this…now, I mean...I…” Kyle tried to explain.

She kissed him deeply then, cutting off his talk. Then she pulled back to speak. “Kyle, you don’t have to explain...and you’re right, we may not be ready to go all the way, but I need to feel you, to feel something, and I can’t stop touching you...” she said breathlessly.

As he pushed his hips against her hot core he answered for them both, grinding into her… He wanted her to feel all the pleasure he could give to her. Isabel came fast and hard, shuttering and withering against Kyle until he let go also. Slowly they came down from their high, with soft kisses and gentle touches.

Feeling a bit embarrassed that he allowed it to go so far, so fast, Kyle moved to get up. He stood up with shaky legs, looking down at the mess he had made of himself.

“Let me help with that,” Isabel offered, putting her hand above his boxers and cleaning him up with her powers.

Isabel then looked around for her clothes, surprising herself that she wasn’t more embarrassed. She really felt comfortable with him and what they’d done, yet when she glanced over at Kyle as they both got dressed, there was a deafening silence. Kyle sensed that he needed to say or do something so when he was finished getting dressed, he walked over pulling Isabel into his arms.

“Isabel, we shouldn’t feel any regrets about this. People use many different ways to deal with things. I guess this was one way for us. Besides, I care about you so much...” he said, getting a little choked up as the words came out of his mouth.

“And I care about you, more then you know...I have no regrets either. For a small amount of time I felt guilty, but it was about feeling so good. Maybe it was the wrong time...but what does this mean for us?” she asked with hope shining in her eyes.

Kyle reached out to stroke her cheek, moving in to kiss her lightly on the lips.

“I think we should take it slow. I don’t want to be a rebound guy and I don’t want you to be a rebound girl...nothing will change. OK, maybe that’s wrong - everything DID change but if you don’t want it to....I can still be just your friend if you want…” Kyle answered, holding his breath and hoping she would NOT want to go back to just being friends.

“Kyle, whatever this is, I don’t want to go back to being ‘just friends’...I want to be with you. I want to be your girlfriend. I know it’s too soon and I understand what you’re saying but I can’t go backwards. And I want to go forwards with you,” Isabel replied before leaning in to kiss him once again. When he responded with warmth and tenderness, she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a tight hug. The feeling of his arms around her filled her with hope again for the first time in a long while.

After a long, delicious moment Kyle spoke up. “We should probably get you home before your brothers come looking for us,” he said with a laugh as they started walking towards the car.

“Um, speaking of brothers...what are we going to tell everyone? Won’t they be mad?” he wondered out loud.

“We don’t have to tell them anything if we don’t want to. They know how close we have become. I would think that they would expect it and be happy for me. If not, we will handle it, just like we handle everything else!” she answered, kissing him again because she couldn’t help it.

Kyle couldn’t help the knot that began to form in his stomach. Despite Isabel’s words that he obviously hoped were true, he couldn’t help but think: how would everyone react?

Part 3



Kyle-

So I’m sitting here at the Crash Down waiting for Isabel to come and meet me. Yep, Kyle J. Valenti is going to a 4th of July picnic. When she asked me the other day I just couldn’t refuse those big, brown eyes of hers. Yeah, call me whipped. It’s OK - I kinda like it. Isabel and I have become so close, in lots of ways. She means more to me then I thought possible but…I’m just worried that the bubble is going to burst soon. I can feel it even though nothing “alien” has happened lately and everyone else has been enjoying the summer. Isabel and I spend a lot of our time alone. Max, Michael, Liz and Maria don’t seem to mind. They’re all into themselves, and Isabel and I are happy for them. Geez, even in my thoughts I’m friggin’ speaking for both of us. Sometimes I don’t know where I stop and she begins.

To tell the truth, though, I’m a little worried about going to this picnic. Her mom, dad, Max and Liz are going too. It’s not like they haven’t seen us together but I have this insane fear that her father is going to walk up to me and say “so you’ve had your hands on my daughter?” What the hell am I going to say? Oh, and the hands thing is another thing I can’t stop thinking about - Isabel and I have not taken that step into actually “consummating” our relationship, if you know what I mean, but we sure have done everything else. I can see the disappointment in her eyes sometimes when I stop, but I have to - she’s not ready, and maybe I’m not either. Even though I know she loves me I’m so worried that once we take that final step, she will be wishing it was someone else…Alex. That’s another problem I can’t seem to get over. Alex was my friend, and even though he’s not here sometimes I feel like Isabel is cheating on him. It’s stupid I know and I keep telling myself that he would want one thing for her and that’s for her to be happy. And I seem to make her happy. Yeah, and she makes me happy too. Damn! I sound sappy. That Max must be rubbing off on me…





“Kyle?” Maria’s voice drips with frustration.

“Huh?” Kyle says as he snaps out of his thoughts.

“Do you want something to drink while you wait for Isabel?” she asks again.

“Oh, yes a coke…sorry I was lost in thought,” he replies somewhat dreamily.

“That’s alright, jock boy, I do that sometimes too, and your coke is coming right up!” Maria says in her best “Auntie Maria understands” voice and pats his hand.

As Maria walks over behind the counter to get Kyle’s drink, she can’t stop looking at him.

“Liz, what do you think is going on with Kyle and Isabel?” Maria asks Liz point blank, interrupting her friend’s important sugar jar replenishing. Liz glances over at Kyle and twists up her face as she studies his body language.

“I think they have become very close…why?” Liz says with a sigh.

“I feel something more is going on with them than we think. He seems to be “lost in thought” a lot lately, which usually means one thing…love,” states Maria with certainty.

Liz looks back over at Kyle again just as Isabel walks through the Crash Down doorway and both waitresses proceed to watch as Isabel walks up to Kyle’s booth and slides in across from him. Kyle’s face immediately lights up as he reaches across the table to take Isabel’s hands.

“We-ell they’re definitely ‘close.’ Maybe they are just being good friends, you know being there for each other and all that,” Maria says, still looking at the couple with a doubtful expression on her face.

“Well, I’m going to be at the picnic with them so I can watch for any signs of wanton behavior,” Liz replies with a giggle.

“Haha!” Then Maria’s voice switches to a softer tone, “Liz, I just want to keep an eye on Isabel…she’s lost…so much…and he would want us to watch out for her.”

“I know, Maria” Liz says sadly, thinking of Alex, “but would it be so bad if she was with Kyle? He’s a great guy and you know it. Plus, they have a lot in common, a lot more in common than he and I ever did,” she adds.

“Pfft! You just wanted to go out with a hot jock boy! And now you have a hot alien,” Maria answers teasingly.

Liz just laughs and smacks her friend lightly before grabbing her checks to go total them up. Maria starts to walk over to the booth with Kyle’s coke. As she gets close to the table she notices that they’re still holding hands. Her eyes bug out as she thinks, “Just friends, my ass!” Kyle is rubbing his thumb lightly across the top of one of Isabel’s hands while they chat away, completely off in their own little world. “Yep, I knew it. They are soooooo into each other,” Maria whispers under her breath as she tries to hide her smirk.



Isabel-

How hard is it to find something to wear to a picnic? I’m being such a typical girl and thinking to myself, he’s seen me in everything! I need to find something new to wear. Not that Kyle would care - he’s not the kind of guy who notices things I wear or how I wear my hair…

Wow, I just realized something. Lately I’ve been trying so hard not to compare Alex and Kyle but I just found something different - Alex always knew if something was different with how I wore my clothes or my hair. Of course that was important to me at the time and he would have known that. But now in the grand scheme of things it just doesn’t seem important.

*Sigh*

Alex. Now when I think about him (which is still about every twenty seconds) I feel a calm I didn’t feel before. I have to wonder if he’s looking down on me and sending me the good feelings he always gave me when he was here. I still miss him so much it hurts, but the hurt is a dull ache now. Kyle and I talk a lot about him and I think that helps. We promised once we decided to be together that we would talk about anything and everything. For me, Alex is still a big part of that.

But the one thing we can’t seem to talk about is something I just can’t ignore…

At first I thought maybe Kyle just didn’t want to go there with me because that would mean he had to have some sort of attachment to me. But that is clearly not the case. I mean, he must be attached or why would he still be hanging around? Plus, I mean, hello, he is an eighteen year old man, and I can tell he has no problem being “with” me, but he always pulls back before...

Now to be honest I’m not sure I’m ready. I have only had one experience to go by and well, we didn’t get to even really talk about it before he was gone. I admit I haven’t had the nerve to tell Kyle that Alex and I made love. I’m just so worried he will be upset. I think I really do need to explain to Kyle what happened so I can make him understand that even if I could go back I would never change what happened between Alex and I. It’s a memory I will never give up, and it changed my life and for that and so much more I will always love Alex.

But I feel less and less guilty about being with Kyle. He’s such a wonderful guy. And I think I can have room in my heart for two people, can’t I? It’s not like we’re going to run off and get married or anything. We’re only eighteen and still have another year of high school. I CAN see a future with Kyle but sometimes I fear that we will always have these ghosts hanging over us.


I can’t stop myself from thinking about everything. I guess I need to just sit down with Kyle and explain things. Maybe it will help. I suspect that he’s got stuff on his mind that he’s not telling me as well. Like, I know he’s worried about how my brothers will react to us being together. But if we stand our ground we should be fine, right? They’re all happy, why can’t we be too?

OK, take a deep breath. Walking into the Crash Down. This is normal. There he is! God, looking at his face makes everything just melt away….





4th of July Picnic


Isabel and Kyle drive up to the park, Kyle turns off the car and sits for a minute looking out the window. He was quiet for most of the ride but not in a mad way, Isabel thinks, more like thoughtful or something.

“Kyle, are you OK?” she asks.

“Yeah Iz, I’m fine. I just seem to be lost in my own thoughts today…so are you ready for this?” he questions her with a sudden (slightly forced) smile.

“Ready for what? To see the same people we do everyday, except with BBQ and all the fixins?” she answers with a grin to show that she knows exactly what he’s talking about.

“Yeah, you know the whole your dad working a grill thing is kinda scary,” he pauses before continuing, “but you know what I mean - they are bound to notice that you can’t keep your hands off me. And most ‘friends’ don’t act like that, not even close ones.”

“ME? Alright smart ass, we’ll just see who keeps their hands to themselves. I’m always up for a challenge…but just remember this,” Isabel says, leaning oh-so-very close to his face and placing her hand on his upper thigh, “WE don’t care what they think. WE know what we’re doing and no one should have a say but us!” She tops this off with a lingering kiss on his lips, knowing exactly what effect it’ll have on him.

“OHHH!! Has anyone ever told you that you’re an evil woman?” Kyle exclaims on his way out of the car.

“Yes, actually I have been told that. But I refuse to believe it,” Isabel answers with a teasing grin and a toss of her hair as she quickly exits the car and struts to where her parents are waiting.

“Hey dad,” Isabel says to her father as she taps him on the shoulder to get his attention.

“Oh hello, Isabel, Kyle…I was just telling my new colleague here about Roswell. Have I introduced you to Jesse Ramirez yet?” Philip asks jovially.

“I don’t think I have had the pleasure yet, although I have heard a lot about you and your brother,” Jesse replies as he reaches out to shake Isabel’s hand.

“Ah yes, dad mentioned you, nice to meet you…this is Kyle,” Isabel states, trying to hide her nerves.

“Well hi, nice to meet ya,” Kyle says, reaching out to shake Jesse’s hand.

It’s clear to Kyle that Jesse can’t seem to take his eyes off of Isabel. She hasn’t noticed yet because she’s busy talking to her dad, but Kyle can’t help but watch as Jesse looks her up and down with obvious admiration.

“Come on Iz, I see Max and Liz pulling up. I think Max said he might need some help unloading the car,” Kyle says quickly, pulling Isabel away.

A somewhat bewildered Isabel follows, calling out behind her, “sorry dad, we’ll be back in a minute.”

“Kyle, what is your problem?!” Isabel asks after they’ve taken enough steps as to be out of earshot.

Kyle continues to urge her towards the parking area but not towards Max and Liz.

“Kyle, I’m stopping right now and not going any further until you tell me what the hell is wrong,” she insists with that tone in her voice that can’t be ignored by any man, human or alien.

Staring into the confusion on her face, Kyle feels something he hasn’t felt since he first saw Max with Liz together - jealousy.

“Isabel, I’m sorry but I had to walk away for a second…” he stutters frantically.

Isabel looks at him with wonder. His face is red and he looked angry and embarrassed.

“Kyle, what’s got you so upset? I don’t get it. We were just talking to my dad and that guy Jesse.” As soon as she says Jesse’s name, Kyle’s eyes light up with barely concealed frustration. “Is it Jesse?” she asks softly. “I don’t even know him. You heard my dad - we just met…” Isabel says in an attempt to soothe him.

“Oh Iz, you did nothing wrong…I’m sorry. I’m just being a guy and he was checking you out and I sorta…panicked,” Kyle says in a softer voice, feeling foolish.

Isabel walks forward and proceeds to grab both of his hands, forcing him to look into her eyes.

“Kyle, I love you. Jealously is normal, and don’t think I haven’t felt the same way when all those girls check you out but you have nothing to worry about,” she punctuates this by squeezing his hands.

Kyle relaxes visibly and smiles at her and squeezes her hands back, “yeah, the only thing is - girls can’t help but check me out. Have you checked me out lately?” he jokes in an attempt to make her smile again.

Isabel just smacks him lightly and gratifies him by laughing. She starts to pull him back towards where her brother and Liz are now standing with her parents.

“Isabel, I love you too,” Kyle says, turning serious all of a sudden and giving her hand a soft tug.

When she flips around to face him she has to stop herself from tearing up. But instead she just smiles softly, knowing how hard it is for him to say those words, and her silence tells him everything he needs to know.

They begin to walk slowly together, hoping for an uneventful and moderately pleasant day, neither of them realizing that they have had an audience to their heartfelt exchange. Liz saw it all.

“Maria was right!” Liz thinks to herself in shock. “Now what is Max going to think?”
she muses as she runs back to meet her boyfriend by the car.



Later…still at the Picnic


After everyone had eaten, it was easy enough to decide to play a game of football but splitting the teams was becoming a bit of a fiasco. Kyle didn’t particularly want Isabel on Jesse’s team but he really didn’t want “tall, dark and legal” to have the opportunity to tackle her either. Luckily he and Max were team captains. Kyle decided not to choose Jesse for his own team knowing that Max would choose his sister and also be stuck with Jesse. After choosing, they split up to plan before the game gets started. Now that the plotting and scheming, er, strategy is over, Kyle places himself in front of Isabel to block her. With a knowing grin on his face he leans down and waits for Max to yell “hike.”

“You can wipe that smile of your face Kyle - you have to catch me to tackle me, and that’s SO not going to happen,” Isabel tells him, smirking all the while.

“Oh but it’ll be fun trying at the very least and my varsity letter tells me I can catch you,” he tosses off smugly.

The sound of Max’s voice yelling “hike” bursts through the air and everyone takes off - Isabel runs so Max that can throw her the ball with Kyle right on her heels. He waits until she’s far enough out field and then he drives for her. Tumbling to the ground he’s on top of her with her face down in the grass before she can even catch her breath.

“Kyle! You can’t tackle me unless I have the ball!” she yells incredulously.

“Hey, I can tackle you if I want. Besides I really thought he threw you the ball,” He answers with mock innocence.

“Right, sure you did…are you going to let me up? We ARE playing a game here - something I’d think you’d appreciate, jock boy,” Isabel points out, slightly perturbed at Kyle’s behavior.

“Sure, sure, I’ll let you up,” Kyle says as he starts to get up himself. At which point, Isabel takes the opportunity to pounce on him and throw him to the ground before straddling him and holding his hands up above his head.

“Next time play by the rules, Mister - or else!” she teases.

“Or else what?” Kyle says with a tilt of the eyebrow as he attempts to buck up towards her.

Isabel’s expression changes from teasing to shock when she feels Kyle’s desire. Looking down at him and seeing his smirk, she realizes he has positioned them this way on purpose. She lifts herself up a little and comes back down, watching his face lose its smirk.

“So you want to do this with my dad and everyone watching? I mean, I am old enough, what can they do…but I didn’t think THIS was how we were going to tell everyone. And from what I can feel you’re going to have to figure out how to get up…off the ground,” Isabel says, looking him straight in the eye.

Kyle shudders knowing that everyone can see them and are probably wondering what on earth is going on. “Great Valenti, just great, think with your dick and see what happens,”Kyle groans inwardly.

Isabel gets up and holds her hand out to help him off of the ground. He takes it and then brushes himself off and as calmly as possible starts to walk back toward the others.

The game goes pretty good after that. Kyle does his best to keep his hands to himself. His team loses to Max’s team but it was pretty close: 14 to 13. Of course Isabel is thrilled and when the final touch down is made, her entire team goes wild as well. Jesse takes this opportunity to approach Isabel and hug her in “sportmanlike camaraderie.” He’s on the winning team too after all. But Isabel stiffens as soon as Jesse’s arms go around her. She searches for Kyle with her eyes and when she finds them she smiles at him in reassurance.

“Isabel, I was wondering if you would like to go out to lunch some time?” Jesse inquires cluelessly after pulling away from the hug.

“Oh Jesse, that’s really sweet of you but I’m seeing someone, and it’s pretty serious,” she answers politely, getting a secret thrill out of saying the truth out loud for the first time to anyone but Kyle.

“OK then. Not surprising but figured it didn’t hurt to ask. Well, if you ever change your mind, you know where I work.” Jesse answers back with a gentlemanly wink before walking off to leave Isabel standing alone and gazing at Kyle.

Liz stands off to the side waiting for the congratulations to end, and by chance once again overhears the conversation. As she walks over to Isabel, she catches the exchanged glances between Kyle and Isabel but Kyle looks away when he realizes that Liz is watching. Abruptly he begins to gather the remaining football gear still lying out on the field.

“Isabel, that was a great game,” Liz says when she gets close to the other girl, who is, Liz can’t help but notice, still staring at Kyle.

“He’s a great guy. I really hope you know you deserve to be happy…” Liz pauses for a moment and grabs Isabel’s hand, “He would want you to be happy also.”

Isabel is taken back by Liz’s words at first but then a radiant smile breaks out over her face and she turns to look over at Kyle once again.

“We really are good together,” she thinks to herself in wonder.

A/N: Okay the part is short but I've been busy with stuff lately, I will have a longer part next time. Thanks to Tracie, you rock!





Part 4




A knock on the window wakes Kyle from his slumber. Sitting up in his bed shakes off the sleep filling his head and looks over towards the window. There he sees the unmistakable shadow of Isabel. Kyle glances at the clock as he gets up. Seeing that it is 2:00 a.m., he rushes to the window, opening it in a hurry.

“What’s wrong!” Kyle blurts out, his voice filled with concern
.
“Everyone’s fine Kyle. I’m sorry for scaring you - I had to come over. We need to talk and I can’t sleep until we do,” Isabel replies, her voice worried.

Calming down Kyle looks at Isabel and can see the worry in her beautiful face.

“Do you wanna come in or do you wanna go to our place?” he asks.

“I want to go out to our place, if that’s ok?” she answers.

Backing up so she could climb in he begins to look around for his clothes. Isabel, still standing outside stares at him in his boxers and gulps, trying to ignore the fluttering feeling in her stomach at seeing him in a state of undress.

“I’ll wait in the car” she replies, turning and leaving rapidly

Kyle watches her walking into the darkness; grabs his jeans and a shirt and goes out the front door, leaving his dad a quick note that he is fine and will be back in a few hours.

They drive out to their place in silence. Kyle looks over at Isabel many times, but she keeps her eyes glued to the outside as it passes by. Pulling up to the edge of the woods, he parks the car and goes to the trunk and pulls out a blanket. He spreads it out and waits patiently for Isabel to start speaking.

“Kyle I have to tell you something and I’m not sure how you’re going to feel about it,” she finally says after a ten minute silence.

“Isabel you can tell me anything. What’s wrong?” Kyle questions.

“I’m not sure how to start, so I’m just going to say it and then you can react,” she pauses for a moment looking at him then she looks down. “I know that you know that Alex and I were getting really close before he died. I don’t know if you know exactly how close we got…see on prom night, we…we moved our relationship to the next level…” she says softly

Kyle watches her fidget with her hands for a moment, “Okay, so you messed around with Alex. Kinda like we do?” he asks.

Isabel lets out the breath she is holding and shakes her head. No, we went further than you and I have. We – we made love,” she blurts out in a rush

Kyle couldn’t help the shocked expression on his face, shocked because he now understood in more detail just why Isabel was so broken up over Alex dying. Yes he knew she loved Alex; but for her to finally trust someone enough to give herself to them, and to have them die so soon afterwards was too horrible to even think about. Moving over, he takes her in his arms, and he can feel her relax against him.

“I don’t get it Isabel. Did you expect me to be mad about this? The only thing that I’m upset about is that you lost him, I can’t imagine how awful that would be, I mean WOW, I’m so sorry” Kyle says, running his hands thru her hair to comfort her.

Isabel sits up and looks him in the eye. She can see that he’s not mad. Instead, she sees sorrow and something else. Something she didn’t expect – relief

“Kyle, I didn’t think you would be mad, but maybe a little disappointed…I have no regrets and I need you to understand that.” Isabel expresses.

Kyle leans in a few inches from her face and places a soft kiss on her lips.

“I’m not disappointed, you have to understand something, Isabel. I, more than anyone else, know how much you love Alex. I’m glad you got to share moment with him. I’ve been worried that if we finally do get to be together you would be upset that it wasn’t Alex. I couldn’t handle that, and that’s why I’ve been holding back,” Kyle finishes.
Isabel’s heart is beating so rapidly, she feels as if it will explode. How in the world did she get lucky enough to be loved unconditionally by two such wonderful men?

Sitting there in each other’s arms they both sigh contently.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Waking up, Kyle felt the weight of something laying on his chest, looking down he realizes its Isabel, her long blond hair strewn about his chest. Her face is inches from his and she has a look of ease about her. For a while he watches her eyelids flutter with sleep, the way the moonlight shone off her hair.

“You’re so beautiful” he whispers.

She smiles in her sleep and he realizes she had heard him. Leaning down, he kisses her softly, nibbling on her bottom lip. Without opening her eyes she responds to his kiss. Softly at first then becoming deeper Isabel moves with Kyle so he is lying slightly on top of her.

“I didn’t mean to wake you, but I had to kiss you,” Kyle explains.

“It’s ok, really I don’t mind,” Isabel said deepening the kiss

With the way their bodies were responding to each other, Kyle knew if this kept going they would not stop. Isabel feeling his hesitation pulled him closer.

“I don’t want to stop this time Kyle,” she whispers.

Feeling his uncertainty slip away he allows his hand to follow the path up her flat stomach, watching as she arches under his movements, he knew he wanted to bring her pleasure. Painstakingly slow he moves his hand just under her breast, taking his thumb and grazing her erect nipple. Isabel sighs in pleasure and frustration, her body humming in tune with Kyle’s, wanting more, needing more.

Isabel sits up suddenly and pulls off her shirt and shorts exposing her green bra and panty set, Kyle following her pulls off his T-shirt and unbuttons his jeans leaving him only in his boxers. Laying back down on his side, Kyle pulls Isabel’s back flush to him, letting his hands glide over her arm, kissing her back and shoulder, then her neck. Isabel can feel Kyle’s hardness grazing her from behind as his fingers gracefully trace patterns down her body. Moving them down to her folds, he lightly touches her, making her arch into him again. Knowing he can’t take much more, he pulls her around, putting himself gently between her legs, staring into her eyes, he kisses her passionately. Isabel, feeling he might back out, puts her hand on his boxers and makes them disappear, and with a teasing glint does the same with her remaining clothes. It only takes Kyle a few minutes to realize they are both naked and leans over to grab his jeans that are laying next to him, retrieving the condom out of his wallet he opens it and places it on.

“We can stop…if you want,” Kyle whispers in a tone that tells Isabel he doesn’t want to but he will.

“I want this Kyle…I want you” she moans. “ I want you to make love to me,”

Kyle looks in her eyes and sees no fear or hesitation, only love and passion. Moving to enter her they both moan as he slides himself in her slowly, loving the feeling of her being around him, he glides back and forth.

Isabel’s hands roam his back, helping bring the pleasure their bodies searched for. After some time, Kyle could feel Isabel begin to reach her climax. Wanting to do this together he speeds up his advances bringing them both to a new height of pleasure…





Kyle-

Okay umm I can’t believe we just did that! I just got done dropping Isabel off and I’m driving home thinking to myself this is not what I had planned when I went to sleep. I also can’t help it but the smile on my face won’t go away … I’ll also admit I saw flashes of Alex and Isabel together, it wasn’t as much of a shock as you might think. We both loved her, that’s important. One thing I know is it was different. I’ve never had sex like that before. No, it wasn’t sex; it was making love. Lets just hope her brothers don’t find out anytime soon, I would like to keep my lower appendage intact.


Isabel-

Ok umm I can’t believe we finally did that! Kyle just dropped me off and after sneaking back in my window I’m sitting here on my bed glowing, ok not literally glowing but on the inside. I admit at first I was worried I might miss Alex more after Kyle and I made love, but that’s not the case. In a weird way I think it bought us all closer together. Now to make sure my brothers don’t find out about this yet…I’d hate for them to hurt Kyle

Mucho thanks to my lovely and talented Beta, Tracie...without her I couldn't have gotten thru this! thanks to all of you who are hanging on reading this and thanks to Michelle, our little part is in the next update


Part 5




Lost in thought, Isabel was letting herself quietly into her room still basking in the glow of the passion she and Kyle had shared. She closes her door and turns around to see Max sitting on her bed. Jumping in fright she stops in her tracks.

“Max…what are you doing here?” she said stumbling with her words.

Max sat taking in her appearance, she looked… well lack of a better way to describe it, like she had been doing something he just didn’t not want to think about, but he also noticed that in her eyes she had a look he had not seen since the day after Prom.

“Where have you been Isabel, do you know how late it is? I know you don’t have school tomorrow but I do and I don’t think it’s fair I had to wait up for you!” He stated, obviously angry.

Isabel was put off by Max’s behavior. Rising up to take a stance she started to explain and then thought better of it ‘Why should I? It’s not any of his business’ she thought to herself

“Max, no one told you to wait up for me. I’m 18 and can take care of myself…you’re my brother NOT my father or MY king for that matter. So if you will move your ass! I need to be getting to bed as I have school tomorrow as well,” She stated.

“What do you mean, ‘You have school’? I think I have a right to know where you were…what if something had been wrong and I needed you…” he started to say but was halted by Isabel putting her hand up.

“Max, we are SO done here! I’m tired so get out, please,” Isabel said, ignoring him, she walks into her bathroom to change into her PJ’s

Max stares after her fuming, but also realizing that now is not the time; he had a lot of questions for her. One big one focused on Kyle. He had seen Kyle drop her off. Max knows they had become close, but he feels something more is going on; he’s not sure how he missed the signs… not to mention the other problem he has with it.

Isabel opens the door. Finding Max gone, she lets out a sigh. She knows she can’t keep him at arms length… but she refused to let him ruin this night for her. Going to her window she opened it and climbed up onto the roof to stare at the stars.

“Alex, I hope you can hear me, I just wanted to tell you…well a lot of things. First… I miss you very much, more then I thought possible but each day it gets a little easier…” she starts to choke up a little “I need you to understand that I will never forget you. It’s because of what we shared that I’m able to be the person I am today…I know we’ve talked about this before but…but” she stumbled, “Damn this is harder then I thought, you’re not even here and I want to tell you so much…I’m in love again Alex, with Kyle…I think you know that as much as I loved you, I love him…and the best part is he understands this…he…he loves Tess still, he may not admit it but I can feel it there and I think she would want him happy. Neither one of us regrets anything in our past, we find solace in the fact that we found each other, even though we had to lose to do it….I may get wrapped up in my future, but you will always have a part in my heart….I need you to know that.” Closing her eyes trying to hold back tears Isabel sat in the quiet willing her thoughts to float thru the sky and up to Alex.

She opens her eyes and watches as a shooting star goes flying across the sky, The star seemed to pause for a minute, almost as if it knew she was there before continuing it’s journey. Isabel was hit with a bolt of electricity coursing through her body, she could feel him. One lone tear makes it’s way down her cheek …"I love you too…Always” she hears in her ear.

"ALEX” she whispers.



Kyle-


Okay, well, I’m sitting here, waiting for Isabel. It’s the first day of school and I’m not sure how it’s going to go. I mean, we agreed to wait a little to let everyone know we’re a couple, but how am I supposed to walk by her hat school? Do I act like her boyfriend, or do I ignore her. No, I’d better not ignore her. Nobody ignores Isabel Evans – EVER! Get a grip on yourself Valenti. It’s bad enough that you changed your shirt three times and fixed your hair four times before you even made it out the door today. Wait, I wonder if I should go comb my hair again? STOP it! This is Isabel. You know, your best friend, your lover. Kyle feels his groin start to tighten uncomfortably at the word lover. Lover? Yeah, this is going to be easy – not. Okay, that’s it. I’m in control; I’m focused. I’m a leaf floating on the air. Yeah, and now, I’m just going to float on down to my locker and put my thin….HEY, what the fuc…?

Kyle’s thoughts were cut off as he was pulled in the Eraser Room by a very familiar arm.

“What the heck…” he starts to say as he fells lips on his.

“Good morning!” Isabel said after pulling away from a very hot, worthy kiss.

“Well, good morning to you!” Kyle said pulling her into his arms after the shock had wore off, “Is this how you’ll greet me every morning?” he asks teasing

“Sure…” she said kissing him again “well at least until we can do this in the hallway” she replies flirtatiously


“You wanna do this in the hallway?” he said laughing. “I don’t know Isabel, I do have a rep to protect you know” he added, trying to keep a straight face.

“Ah yes, and making out with me in the hallway would be really bad for said rep. Hmm maybe going out with me would be bad for your rep,” she said pulling away from him. “We should just break up now, saving your rep,” she said pouting

Pulling her back against his body Kyle kisses her again taking her breath away “Yeah, maybe your right,” he said still holding her. “But before we do, can I have another one for old times sake?” He pulls her into a kiss again, this time picking her up and setting her on the table in the small room, moving between her legs he pulls her up against him kissing her once again. He finally ends the kiss, leaving both of them gasping for air.

“Okay, before we really give everyone something to talk about on the first day, we’d better stop.” Kyle said pulling away

Isabel locks her legs behind him and pulls him back up to her “Are you sure?” she asks.

“No I’m not, I’m not sure about anything right now, except for how good you feel,” he replies, trying to get his breathing under control.

Looking in his eyes, she drops her legs and leans in to place a feathery kiss on his lips, “ I missed you all morning and I couldn’t wait to see you. I saw you walking and had to have a moment alone, we never talked about how we should act at school and I wasn’t sure I could all day without touching you,” She blurts out

“Okay, I thought I was the only one worried about that,” Kyle said, letting out a breath

“We have to tell everyone about us soon, I don’t want to worry about giving you a look or not being able to kiss you hello” Isabel said.

“I agree. Maybe this weekend we can sit everyone down and tell them together?” Kyle asks

“Ok good idea, until then, we can meet here if we feel the need,” Isabel said.

“Feel the need to what?” Kyle asks smirking.

Raising an eyebrow she shoots him a look and he laughs. Pulling away, he grabs her hand to help her off the table. Isabel starts to walk towards the door and Kyle grabs her around the waist, pulling her against him.

“Can I give you a ride home after school?” he whispers in her ear sending chills up her back. Closing her eyes, she basks in his scent for a moment. She nods her head up and down, unable, for the moment to form a coherent sentence.


Isabel-

Did you ever have one of those days where time seems to slow down? Well, it’s happening to me today. Time’s going so slowly, it almost feels like it’s going backward. Every minute seems like an hour. I’ve seen him in between classes, and I’ve talked to him like I usually do, but not being able to be in his arms is driving me insane. I KNOW I’ve had this weird smile on my face all day. Maria even asked me if I was okay. Maria! I must look totally freaked if even she noticed it. Liz kept giving me these knowing looks, and the scarier part is, so did Max.

I heard everyone talking at lunch. Michael is going with Maria after school to help her mom do something, and then they both have to work, and Liz wants Max to come over to her house until her shift at the CrashDown. I know Kyle heard them too, because when I shot him a meaningful glance, he practically drooled with excitement. Since my parents are out of town for the next few days, this meant we’d have the house completely to ourselves. Max would stay at CrashDown until Liz was done her shift. We’d have at least 4 uninterrupted hours together. If the freaking day would ever end! But instead, they’re dragging on forever. It’s like the teachers are talking in slow motion. Did I say insane? The ringing of the school bell causes my heart to jump into my throat. I throw my things into my bag and rush out the door. I can’t seem to get to my locker fast enough.


Throwing his books into his locker Kyle can see Isabel down the hallway, she walks up and there eyes lock.

“Ready?” Kyle asks softly.

“Yep, I told Max you were giving me a ride home…” her voice trails off

Grabbing her hand Kyle pulls her down the hall out to his car; opening the door for her they can’t seem to tear their eyes from one another. Finally, Kyle looks away long enough to go around to his side of the car. He climbs in, and they drive off in a comfortable silence to Isabel’s house. They both know what will happen when they get there, or what they hope will happen. Counting the seconds until they are alone.


Isabel pulls out her keys when she feels Kyle’s lips on her neck. Forcing herself to ignore the excitement coursing through her body, she finally gets the door unlocked. Stepping through the doorway, she uses her powers to close the door as she pulls Kyle to her room.


Sometime later….


Lying under the covers, Isabel snuggles against Kyle. Pulling her close Kyle kisses the top of her head, running his fingers thru her hair.

“We should get up.” Kyle says without conviction

Isabel closes her eyes and wishes the world away, snuggling deeper into his side and whining a no. Knowing that several hours have past, and wanting to play it safe, Kyle forces himself to get up. He bends over to pull on his boxers and jeans as Isabel starts to speak.

“HOLY SHIT,” Maria squeals from the doorway to Isabel’s room, while Liz chimes in from behind her with a “Whoa”

Isabel looks behind Liz and Maria standing in the door and sees a very angry Max, along with Michael glaring into the room. Kyle tries to finishing pulling up his pants, in his haste trips and falls flat on his face. Worried about him, Isabel to his side forgetting that she doesn’t have clothes on.

“ISABEL!!” Max yells rushing towards her, stopping when he realized she was naked.

“Opps…” Isabel says pulling the sheet around her, still leaning to check on Kyle.

Kyle thought he might just stay on the ground and play dead, that way Max and Michael wouldn’t kill him, right? No such luck. He opens his eyes and sees Isabel’s worried face hovering over him.

“ Kyle are you okay?” she asks with a hint of a giggle in her voice

“Yep, I’m okay.” Kyle answers getting up off the floor giving her a smile and trying not to make eye contact with anyone else in the room.

“Could you all get out. Kyle and I will be down in a minute?” Isabel asks looking defiantly at her brothers.

“He can leave now, He’s already dressed,” Michael says, his voice displaying an amazing amount of control

“He’ll be down in a minute, after we finish!” Isabel says. She presses her lips firmly together in a way that lets the others know she won’t take no for an answer.

“ Oh My God! Finish…you mean you haven’t finishe…” Maria starts to say as Liz pulls her from the room.

Max stays put looking at Isabel, a mixture of anger and something else on his face. The air in the room is so thick, Kyle feels like he is going to pass out.

“Max, I…” Kyle starts.

“Kyle, WE don’t owe him a explanation, so stop. They should learn to knock before coming into my room and besides, what I do in here is my business,” She gives Kyle a soft smile taking the sting out of her words “Max you can leave and we will come down, but know this ahead of time…we WILL NOT be discussing my love life, well no in great detail. Kyle and I were going to tell you that we were together this weekend but now we don’t have to, so whatever your thinking, STOP! This is my life and what I choose to do is…”

“What about Kyle’s life?” Max says, loudly.

“What?” Isabel asks confused.

“How can you do this to Kyle, after everything we've put him through? He never asked to be a part of any of this. None of them did. Liz didn't, Maria didn't and Alex sure as hell didn't. We've taken everything away from him, Isabel. First I took his girlfriend, and then we took his father. Then, he lost the only other guy in this group that he could really relate to, and finally, he lost the girl that he loved. How could we do this to him, how could YOU do this to him!” Max’s voice started out low and deadly, but by the time he was done, he was practically screaming

Standing there stunned Isabel grabs the sheet around her and goes into her bathroom slamming the door behind her.

“Max, you have no idea what you’re talking about.” Kyle said softly, still in shock over Max’s words.

“ Kyle, I know more than you think. Isabel doesn’t mean to do this but she doesn’t see the big picture sometimes. You can’t be with someone just because they know about our secret - it’s not fair. I saw it when she was with Alex, he was her friend and when we all paired up she saw us together so she settled for Alex, now she’s doing it with you. I love my sister but we have taken enough away from you all, I can’t let her do this.” Max says.

Kyle stands there in shock looking at Max; he really didn’t know his sister at all.

“Max, I know you can kick my ass with the wave of a hand, but if you ever say anything like that again about Isabel I WILL kick your ass! Are you STUPID! Have you ever asked Isabel how she felt about Alex? Will duh no you haven’t to say something so…so ABSURD! Isabel loved Alex with her whole being. Did you know about all the time they spent together? Did you know when they couldn’t be together they would meet in his dreams? Did you know he came to her after he died to make sure she would be ok because he KNEW how much she loved him? She didn’t SETTLE for Alex and she’s not settling for me! When you kiss Liz don’t you feel her feelings for you? Don’t you think I can feel how Isabel feels about me?” Taking a deep breath Kyle continues “One of the things that has always pissed me off about you Max is YOU see the bigger picture, but you forget about the small ones. Did you ever ask Michael and Isabel how they FEEL about something? I know you have a burden that no one could possibly understand. Maybe we all don’t wanna understand, but we do want to help lessen that burden. That’s all we try to do Max, is help. Try looking at it from Isabel’s point of view. She lost her first love and the only girl who could understand her point of view in this crazy group,” he said throwing Max’s words back at him “When all is said and done, don’t you think it would be surprising if Isabel and I didn’t find our way towards each other? Everyone is together in this world for a reason, we’re just lucky enough to have a horrible reason,” he says sarcastically “but so be it. I love her and NO ONE is going to stop us from being together - no one!” Taking another deep breath Kyle moves past Max into the bathroom with Isabel.

Leaning his head against the door he is almost afraid to turn around.

“Thanks. I love you, too,” Isabel whispers in his ear. She comes up to stand behind him and wraps her arms around his waist. “Come on, let’s go to your house, I’ll cook something for you and your dad.”

“Cook? Okay, but I should make sure we have lots of antacid…you know just in case,” he jokes

“ Ha Ha mister funny, you can’t cheer me up, I’m still mad at my brother…” she said her voice trails off as she tries not to cry.

Kyle turns around, and takes her in his arms.

“Okay we’ll have none of that. Lets take the back way out of the house, I might even show you a secret or two in my room if we hurry.”

“A secret? Oh I think I know everything about you Kyle Valenti,” her warm breathe on the inside of his neck makes him get chills

“ Not everything my dear…not everything,” he said kissing her and pulling her out of the bathroom.

A/N: Ok this part was so damn hard to write! I have no idea why this story is kicking my butt but alas it so is. My wonderful beta and bestest friend helped me write a lot of the parts in this, Thanks Tracie! You are the best! AND you know you do…*WINK* I didn’t do POV’s in this because, well it just didn’t need it this time. Trust me. I dedicated this to Annie as we have had a few late nite phone calls and she listens to me jabber on and on and …on!




Part 6




“You sleep with POOH!” Isabel exclaims in horror.

Isabel is standing behind the couch holding up a very ragged looking Pooh Bear. Her mouth opening and closing much like a fish.

“Yes, do you have a problem with that that?” Kyle says, trying to make his tone serious

“Well…yes…no…” Isabel stutters.

Kyle leans up and pulls Isabel and Pooh down on top of him. Isabel takes the opportunity to look into his eyes; she leans forward and places a soft kiss on his lips, playfully biting on his bottom lip. Kyle responds by pulling her closer and kissing her deeply. Isabel moans a little and increases the kiss then pulls away to kiss her way down his neck. Kyle pushes Isabel up and gets off the couch, in one sift motion he scoops down picking Isabel up and Pooh (of course) and walks into the bedroom placing them both on his bed. Kyle leans in to kiss Isabel again and then stands up to take off his shirt.

Isabel watches as Kyle’s wonderful chest comes into view, she sits up to take off her shirt and notices pooh laying next to her, “Kyle can you move Pooh somewhere …please?” she asks softly as to not upset the mood.

Kyle smiles and gently sets pooh on his dresser, then proceeds to take off his pants. He is just about to get on the bed and then he remembers something so he walks out of the room.

“Kyle where are you going? “ Isabel asks, taking the rest of her clothes off.

Kyle walks back in the room with a condom in his hand, “I didn’t want to have to get up again.” He explains as he’s getting back on the bed, ripping open the wrapper, he throws the empty wrapper on the floor

“Well I’m happy you think ahead but can we…oh I don’t know- have a little foreplay first?” Isabel asks.

Kyle looks straight into her eyes and answers “Nope.” He answers simply, moving to lie down next to her.

“Nope?” Isabel exclaims.

“Isabel do I really need to explain this?” Kyle asks, seriously.

“Yes Kyle I think you do.” Isabel says sitting up.

“Ok fine,” Kyle answers, impatiently.

Isabel stares at Kyle, horror and disbelief clear on her face. It’s taking everything Kyle has not to laugh. He knows messing with her head this way is a dangerous game, but things have gotten so serious with Max, he really just wants to see her laugh.

“When a guy’s trying to get a girl in bed, we always go for the long foreplay…but once we bag the babe what’s the point? I mean, hello, I am 18 you know. Guys work hard to get to this point, I’m here, so it’s kind of nice not to have to worry about it…” He starts explaining trying to look put out that she doesn’t understand. He stops mid sentence because Isabel looks like she has steam coming out of her ears. “Isabel what’s wrong? You asked me to explain so I am.”

Isabel stares at Kyle, her mouth set in a way that is making her teeth hurt, “Are you…Oh my god! Seriously!?!?” She yells, kneeling up on the bed, not noticing that she was naked.

Kyle, however, does notice and makes a sweeping gesture with his eyes, which makes Isabel even angrier. She lunges towards him to smack some sense into him and Kyle can’t hold his laughter any longer. He grabs Isabel’s hands and pins her down to the bed.

“Izzy you’re so cute when you’re mad. You know I was goofing around” he says kissing her.

At first she wouldn’t respond to Kyle’s kisses. After a few more he moves up to bite on her neck and takes full advantage of her bare breasts. Sucking her into his mouth and then pulling up only to let go with a pop, first the right then the left. Isabel couldn’t hold her anger; she tried to keep a straight face but gave up when the he went for her breasts a second time.

“You’re evil!” She hisses and moves to let Kyle know she was enjoying his touch.

Kyle laughs and moves his fingers to glide over her center, not stopping but touching just enough to drive her crazy. Isabel moves up to get him to press down harder. Kyle just moves his hand to her thigh, rubbing in circles.

“You think your funny, but your damn lucky I love you,” Isabel said in between gulps of breath

“I love you too…which is why I don’t want you to be able to talk” Kyle said as he moves down her body, kissing and nipping. Kyle knows the best places on Isabel’s body to incite the best reactions; he has this wonderful way of using his hands and lips causing Isabel to forget her own name. Once her body was covered in sheen of sweat, he slides up beside her and kisses her gently on her swollen lips.

“Is that enough foreplay?” he whispers in her ear, causing her to shiver

Isabel could no longer form words. Kyle took her expression as a yes and leans up to place the condom on then ever so painstakingly slow he enters her. Moans vibrate though the room as they begin to move in a rhythm that only they have become accustom too. Together they were taken to new heights, both seeing stars.

“Wow.” They both said together

Rolling over Kyle grabs her to cuddle. They lay in a comfortable silence for a few minutes.


“My dad gave me Pooh when my mom left,” Kyle says softly


Isabel is taken in by his tone of voice, he sounds so sad; she snuggles into Kyle’s neck giving him a moment.

“Well it’s a good thing you had Pooh then to help you though it all. I have an old stuffed teddy bear that my mom gave me when we first came to live with them. It knows all my secrets.”

“Well, then you understand…and remember to be nice to Pooh,” Kyle says kissing the top of her head. Isabel always knows not to push, and with everything else going on he didn’t want to talk about his mother right now, maybe soon, but not now.

“You know I would love to snuggle with you all day, but my dad will be coming home soon and I believe you promised me some dinner woman,” Kyle says starting to get up. “Besides cuddling is another thing guys don’t have to do once we bag the babe,” he states as he grabs his pants and runs for the bathroom.

“Oh!! You are so going to regret that Kyle Valenti,” Isabel yells after him laughing.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



Isabel hums softly as she pokes through the Valenti’s kitchen, trying to locate everything she would need to fix dinner for Kyle and his father. Not that she’d ever really fixed dinner, but after watching her mother for all those years, at least she knew what not to do. Smiling in satisfaction, she removes a box of spaghetti from the cabinet and places it on the counter, followed by several cans of crushed tomatoes. Within minutes, she had a makeshift pasta sauce simmering on the stove and water heating for the spaghetti. Rummaging in the freezer, she locates a loaf of Italian bread. She pulls it out and bangs it on the counter experimentally. Smiling to herself, she passes her hand over the frozen loaf, defrosting it with her powers.

“This is fun,” she said to the empty room. “And I don’t feel the least bit guilty about it.”

Maybe it was because this was something she’d never done with Alex or for him. Cooking a meal for anybody but herself was a new experience, and something that she was doing just for Kyle. Well, Kyle and his father. She couldn’t forget the Sheriff. He’d become an important person in their lives, not to mention the fact that he was the father of the man she loves. Love, she thinks in a panic. Her hand trembles slightly as she tries to stir the sauce. Was it really love, or was it too soon? How could she love Kyle? Alex had died less than a year ago. Shouldn’t she still be mourning his death? All these things float though her mind as she cooks.

It wasn’t like it was with Alex. It wasn’t that first love that is so sweet and innocent. It was love, she realizes in shock. Real mature adult love, and it was something Alex would have wanted for her. He wouldn’t want her to spend her life mourning him. He’d want her to keep on living – to keep on loving.

She wipes away a tear that had nothing to do with the onions she had started to chop. Alex had been a big part of her life, he always would be, but it was time to move on. What she had with Kyle wasn’t disrespectful to Alex. It was because of Alex that she was able to love Kyle. Alex taught her that it was okay to love and to trust someone. He was the one that broke through the barriers she had erected to keep everybody out. He made it possible for her to love Kyle.

“Kyle, I’m home! Oh, hi, Isabel,” Jim Valenti said. “What are you doing here?”

“Cooking dinner,” Isabel says, with a grin.

“Well, I see that,” Jim said. “And it smells delicious, but why are you cooking in my kitchen? Where’s Kyle? Is he in his room?”

Jim ducks out of the kitchen and sticks his head into Kyle’s room taking in the rumpled bed, and the empty condom wrapper on the floor. Swallowing the scream that threatens to erupt, he walks back into the kitchen.

“So, uh, where’s Kyle?” he asks.

“He ran to the store to get some salad dressing, and some olives for the salad. I couldn’t find any so he volunteered to go get some.” Isabel explains.

“Olives,” Jim says, his voice weak. “Olives, - that’s uh, that’s nice Isabel. Do you have any idea of when he’ll be back?”

“It shouldn’t be too long,” Isabel says, stirring the sauce. “Dinner’s almost ready. I hope you’re hungry.”

Jim blanches at the word hungry, knowing exactly what kind of hunger had been satisfied not twenty feet from where he was standing.

“Yeah, I’m hungry, all right,” Jim says, his anger building. How dare his son take advantage of this poor girl so soon after losing Alex. He thought he’d raised Kyle to be a better man than that. Jim thought he knew Kyle better then this.

Jim knows that Kyle and Isabel have been hanging out a lot and that Kyle has been helping her though everything that’s happened with Alex. He just had no idea it had gone this far. Disappointment flows though his body.

“Oh, good, Kyle’s back,” Isabel said, peeking out the window.

“I couldn’t remember what kind of salad dressing you wanted,” Kyle says, walking through the door. “So I got Italian, and French, and I got some whipped cream for the– oh, hey, Dad, you’re home early.”

“Kyle – garage, NOW!” Jim says, his face a mask of fury.

“But, uh, Dad, Isabel has dinner…”

“I said NOW, and I mean NOW,” Jim forces out between gritted teeth. “Isabel, will you excuse us for a few minutes?”

“Um, sure,” she replies, confused. “I hope my cooking dinner wasn’t an imposition, or anything.”

“Isabel, you know you’re always welcome in my home,” Jim says. “Kyle, NOW!”

Shrugging his shoulders, Kyle follows his father to the garage, but not before giving Isabel one last kiss, which Kyle notices seems to make him madder.

“KYLE!”
