Shelley thinks to herself. Shelley- "OMG it's the guy bumped into!" Michael waves his hand in her face. Michael- "Hey, I said are you ok? Do you need me to take you to the hospital or anything?" Shell snaps out of her daydream. Shelley- "Huh, oh no thanks I'm fine. Thank you so much for saving me. If you hadn't shown up when you did... *shivers* just the thought of it makes my skin crawl." Michael- "Here" He takes his jacket off and wraps it around her. Shelley- "Thanks" Michael- "No problem" After an awkward moment of silence. Michael- "Do you need a ride home or anything?" Shelley- "No thank you. I'm waiting for my friend she just went to go get her purse but if there's anything I could do to repay you." Michael- "No it's fine. You don't owe me anything. I'm just glad your ok." Shelley blushes. Shelley- "Are you sure? I would like to pay you back someway." Michael smiles at her. Michael- "Well, I could settle for your name. Since you never told me back in the bar." She blushes even harder. Shelley- "It's Shelley, Shelley Steele." Michael- "Beautiful name, the name's Michael, Michael Jackson." They stare into each others eyes. Their moment is interrupted when they hear.. Christine- "Shell? Shell where are you??" Shelley- "Oh shoot I almost forgot. Hold on I'll be right back."
Shell leaves the alley and calls out to Christine. Christine sighs of relief. Christine- "Jeez Shell where were you? I was starting to get worried. Sorry I took so long I had to use the bathroom and the guys in there are real pigs." Shelley- "I'm sorry too. You won't believe what just happened." Christine gives her concerned look. Christine- "What happened?" Shelley grabs her arm and starts walking towards the alley. Shelley- "I'll explain later. Come I want you to meet someone." They reach the alley but they find no one there but the knocked out man. Shelley- "Huh, that's weird he was here a minute ago." Christine looks at her confused. Christine- "He? What do you mean? U met some guy?" Shell is looking around for Michael. Shelley- "He's not just some guy he saved my life but seems like he just disappeared." Christine says shocked. Christine- "What do you mean he saved your life? What happened to you while I was gone Shell?"
Michael was hiding behind the side of the building where the alley was. He wanted to speak to Shell again but with his lifestyle he thought it best to keep his distance. Michael looks down and lights up a cigarette. Michael whispers to himself. Michael- "Oh God what have I gotten myself into?" He starts to head on out to his car but before he gets in he takes one last look at Shell. He feels his heart getting heavy. He thinks to himself. Michael- "No I can't be falling for her. I don't want her to get involved. I'm just a cold heartless gangster and that's probably all I'll ever be."
Meanwhile: Shelley can't understand why Michael just left. She just hopes she'll get to see him again somehow. They arrive at Shell's house. Christine pops out the question. Christine- "So do you want to tell me what happened back there?" Shelley sits on the couch. Shelley- "Oh man where do I start? Well... (several minutes later) and that's what happened." Christine- "OMG why didn't you yell for help??" Shelley- "He had a knife to my throat, what was I supposed to do?" Christine- "OMG so this guy you bumped into just showed up out of no where and saved you." Shelley- "I know, right? I couldn't believe it either. The question is why would he just up and leave like that?" Christine- "Well the important thing is your safe and this guy you speak of, I'd say you've got a little crush on him." She teases and tickles Shell. Shelley laughs. Shelley- "Haha stop, I do not have a crush on him! Haha!" Christine continues to tickle her. Christine- "I think you do." Stops tickling her. Christine- "Alright Shell it's getting really late. I gotta get up to teach an art class in the morning. Do you need me to stay the night?" Shelley- "No hun thank you I'm perfectly fine." Christine- "I hate to leave you alone after what you just went through. Are you sure you'll be ok?" Shelley- "I'm sure. Don't worry I'll call you tomorrow." They hug Christine- "Ok sweety goodnight. See you tomorrow." Shell closes the front door. Shell gets ready for bed. A few minutes later she falls asleep and starts to dream about her sexy savior.
