the summer (a Mikey Fusco Love Story)

Chapter 45

A/N: Hey. So I hope you like this chapter, it's kind of a shocker;) I also would like for you to go read my new story with rebeccalilliana called, "ToBeOne(again)" annnnd if you have never heard this song below, just look it up! I love this song, it's one of my favorite to dance to.

"dance me to your beauty like a burning violin...

dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safetly in

lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove

dance me to the end of love." I sang along with the song as he lead me across the floor spinning me and holding me closely as we continued. At the end of the song he dipped me down and looked into my eyes. He was the one who I loved, I couldn't live without him."Kiss me" I begged and he brought me back up pressing his lips against mine.

When our kiss finally ended a clap echoed around the room bringing our attention to a familar face in the corner.

"I see you two are still very much in contact." Geo laughed not caring that we had snuck into the building.

"Ha ya." Mikey blushed and ruffled his hair. He was embarassed that Geo had seen that.

"That's great." He smiled and paced back and forth, "but you know what's not?"

"What?" we answered in unison.

" The bank denied my loan." he exhaled and slammed the papers on the ground.

"Can we do anything to help?" Mikey asked putting an arm around me. "Maybe a fundraiser."

"ya, we'd be glad to help" I pitched in imagining the things that could be pulled off. We could save ICON.

"That'd be great." geo smiled and pulled up a chair to sit.

"The girls and I will have a bake sale." I smiled

"and we could have like a dance competition." Mikey added.

"Sounds great." Geo smiled and I could see the hope in his eyes. This was so exciting for me. Saving ICON would be awesome. "We'll need to start planning right away." So that's exactly what we did, planned. At about 3 I decided it was probably time to go home, or at least pay Alexis a visit since I had promissed her last night that we would come hang out with them.

"Hey Spikey Mike, you comin?" I smiled and walked out the doors of ICON feeling accomplished.

"Where to?" He asked fixing his hair in the window.

"Lexi's." I said calling her by her nickname which I hardly ever did, but I was in such a great mood.

"Sure." He nodded and walked down the street beside me.

"By the way did you ever text Vinny back this morning?" I asked realizing that when I had asked him to text Vinny Spencer's call had interrupted it.

"ummmm.......no." He smirked. I grabbed my phone hoping that the thirteen missed texts wouldn't be that bad. Yep, he definatly wants to hurt me. I couldn't imagine how much I had dissapointed him last night. I was still getting over what Mikey had told me earlier about how Vinny was in love with me. What in the hell was I supossed to do about that? Don't get me wrong Vinny is an awesome person, but their are no shared feelings. Not to mention that my love life wasn't already in a knot to begin with. I was completely torn, before moving to Jersey you know how many guys I had falling for me? zero, zippo.

"You alright?" Mikey said snapping me out of my short daydreaming.

"Sorry sorry, just thinking." I giggled and realized that we were already standing in front of Vinny's house. "You knock." I laughed because I didn't want to. I always had this thing where other people had to knock on doors, i don't know. it's weird.

"You're weird." Mikey laughed and knocked on the door.

"Heyyy." Vinny's smile quickly faded the second he saw us. It was like he was expecting someone else, and for it to be me at the door just ruined his whole day. "What the hell?"

"Vinny, I'm-I mean we're sorry." I said speaking for us. Which seemed to be a common thing now.

"You couldn't even answer my texts and calls."

"Why are you so god damn pissy about it. So what, we are in love and we like to spend time together." I said asserting my point. I was already sick and tired of his attitude. I came to Jersey to spend time together as friends and what do I get? I get a best friend who I guess is in love with me who doesn't respect my choices, who doesn't support me in times that I need him to.

"You two probably just made out the entire night" He argued and it pained me that he could just bag on me like this. "God, you already have a boyfriend in California, how many do ya need?"

"Vinny, what is your problem?" I asked him then turned to Mikey, who was standing in awe at me, and whispered in his ear. "Vinny can we have a civilized talk somewhere else?" "I'll talk to you later Mikey." I said waving bye and walking into Vinny's house, where for once I felt uninvited. "Please just talk to me. I'm so sorry about last night, I got caught up, please forgive me."

"Okay fine, I'll forgive you. but I'm warning you now, you really need to stay away from Mikey. He's changed since the last time you've seen him. He's different, and not in a good way. Listen to me, take my words to heart, I'm trying to protect you from him." I didn't know what to think as I tried to gather in the strange words. He's different. That phrase scratched at me as I tried to think of anything that could possibily make Mikey any different. If anything he was sweeter, more caring.

"I'm sorry Vinny I understand you mean well but I just can't those words in right now. See you at Lexi's in an hour?" I questioned pulling a cheesy smile.

"Sure thing." He said with a click of his tongue.

I soon met Mikey's at Alexis'.

"Hey. I'm sorry about last night. We locked Mikey's keys in the minivan." I laughed and Mikey joined in as Alexis stared at us. After an awkward stare I spoke up, "Sooo....I met this guy on the airplane."

"what in the hell?" Mikey said in all seriousness.

"You didn't let me finish." I said holding a finger against his lips. "We talked and I discovered that he lives just a few towns away, and he;s really nice."

Mikey cleared his throat, "At exactly what point does this story get better?"

"Anyway, " I laughed, "We talked about a blind date between the two of you." I smiled and clasped my hands together, waiting in anticipation for what she was about to say.

"About that, I have something to tell you..." She hesitated trailing off at the end.

"What? A new man? Do I know him?" The questions flooded from my mouth, curoiusity taking over.

"I'll tell you later." She spoke asserting her point like she regretted ever bringing it up.

"God it's killing me just tell me." I begged and waited for a response.

"Fine. Come here." She said pulling me into the kitchen leaned in to whisper in my ear. "Well Vincent and I are dating." She spoke and the color flushed from my already pale face. What had just happened? This wasn't just a love trinagle anymore, it was much more complicated.
