I was so upset over Michael. I waited around for him to come back home so that way we could talk to each other. But he did not come back. So, I went to the studio to work on the time machine to get my mind off my heart ache. Focus on getting back home. And finding my father with or without Michael's help. I look around me to make sure no one was around. Then once more for good measure.
Then I take the tarp off the machine. I wondered why it was not working right? It got me here, but it was messing up. Maybe due to the lack of technology that we had in this time. No real internet connections. I do not know where I went wrong. I followed my father's blue prints to a perfect t.
Perfect.
There is no reason why this should have gone wrong. Tears water in my eyes. I did not want to go home. And I wanted to stay with Michael. But he was supposed to marry Tracy Pollen later on. And have kids with her. He was not meant for me. I sniff back tears and get to work. I grab my tools in the machine once I get the door to open.

"Nika!" I hear him calling me.
"Michael?" I whisper. He came looking for me.
"Nika where are you?" he calls out my name. "Nika did you leave? Let me know you are still here!" he calls out in desperation.
I come out from my hiding spot. There he stood with my father looking around for me. "Michael" I call out softly. Our eyes meet. He looks relived that I am still there. He comes rushing over to my side. "What are you doing here? Dad? What are you doing here?" I stammer.
My younger dad was with him.
"I am sorry I know we said that later I was going to see the machine. But I was just so excited. I had to come see it now" my dad tells me. "Michael said you might have come here. I told him that was where you hid this", he says to me.
"Dad!" I sigh.
Michael is looking at me wide eyed. I wondered what was going on in his poor head right now. "Dad I had. But I would have brought you. I swear" I stammer.
"Can we talk in private?" Michael asks me.
"Sure" I nod yes.
"The machine?" dad asks me again.
I lead them both to the machine. I step aside so they can see where it had been hiding. Dad laughs with joy. He claps his hands with excitement. "It is real! I made it!" he whoops joyfully.
"Dad I had a slight problem here. I am stuck in this time. Even if I find you later on, I am not sure if I can get back. When I created this, I got it here. But I can't get it going" I tell my dad.
"I am sure I can. Where are the blue prints?" he asks me.
I head in the machine and hand them back to dad. "Leave it to me" he promises. "This is amazing!"
I glance over at Michael who looked like he might pass out any moment now. I lead him away from there. He stands there next to me. "So, you want to talk?" I ask softly.
"You really are from the future?" he stammers. I nod shyly. "From the future? What year did you say you were from again?" he mutters.
"2019" I say to him.
He runs his fingers through his hair. "Wow!" he mutters. "So, you got stuck here? And you have to go home?" he wonders.
I smile sadly. "Yes, I had made up the fiancée, so I did not hurt you. But look I had anyway" I sigh.
"Can I ask you something?" he says softly.
"Anything" I vow.

He looks upset and confused. And hurt. My heart ached for him inside. "If you did not have to go back home, would you even want to be with me?" he asks me.
Tears water in my eyes. I pull him in my embrace. I plant a kiss on his lips. His eyes close as his arms go around me. He returns each kiss. "I love you to Michael. I just have to go back" I say when our kiss ends.
"Do you have to?" he wonders.
I touch his cheek with my hand. "Listen to me. Soon you will meet the real woman for you. And you will love her. And marry her. Have kids. You will be happy and forget all about me" I tell him. "I swear"
He shakes his head. "I love you. I do not want someone else" he says softly. "I met my dream girl and she can't stay with me" he groans.
"Let's enjoy what time we have together. Until I go home. Make each moment last" I say shyly to him.
Tears water in his eyes to. "Alright. I am for it"
I kiss him again. "At least you return my love. No one can take that from us. Not time itself" I say to him.
"Are all girls in your time as sexy as you are?" he teases me making me laugh.
I giggle. "No not all of us" I say.
"I hope you do find your father and bring him home. I will even help still. Even if that means I have to lose you" he promises me.
I wrap my arms around his neck holding him close to my body. My fingers are in his soft feathery brown hair. "We will make this love last forever" I say softly.
•♡•♡•♡•
"Promise me something" he asks me.
"Okay" I say.
"Look me up in your time. I know I will never forget you. We need to keep in touch when you get back home" he says to me hopefully.
"You have a deal Michael" I add.
He leans in stealing a kiss from my lips. My toes curl in the tips of my shoes. I was never going to forget him. Ever. My first love. My last love. My everything. I was not sure if I would look Michael up later in the future.
He would be happier without me. He would not need me in his world then. I was going to be so alone without him. But I did not have to worry about that yet. Right now, he was mine. And right now, I was his. That was all that mattered.
"How about we celebrate the fact that we both love one another? And I take you back home tonight and show you just how much I love you" he asks me after our kiss ends.
He rubs my cheek with his thumb. "Sure" I say softly after I find my words. I shiver with delight. Let the celebration begin.
