"How did you two meet?" came the next screamed question.
"We ran into each other at the beach. I was lucky enough that she was alone and agreed to share a meal." Michael answered smoothly.
"Lisa, are you trying to live down you reputation as a prude by dating such a wild guy?" Someone else called out "No, I like him a lot, so I don't care what his reputation is. He treats me with respect, and that is all I care about. No matter what I say, you guys will twist it to what you want anyway, so, have fun with this." Lisa threw caution to the wind and turned around to Michael and kissed his mouth.
Cameras went off everywhere. Michael held her close, and the other people seemed to disappear. She felt the warmth spreading in her loins. Michael pulled away slowly, a smile on his face. "I think it is safe to say you will no longer be called an ice queen."
"Michael, Michael, are you serious about Lisa? Is it true love?" One of the reporters asked.
"We are just starting out, but yes I am serious about her. I will let you know when we set the wedding date." Michael told them.
"Okay, that's enough. Come on Mr. Joyce, Mrs. Stevens." Jason said, ushering them up to the house.
Once they got in the front door, Michael turned toward her. "That went well. We are going to have to watch the gossip shows tomorrow to see what they make of this."
"Well, it has already hit the internet. A very nice picture of that kiss. Wow, I wish I had this guy do my wedding pictures, he is really good. The picture practically sizzles. Oh no, what did you say Michael?" Greta groaned.
"I don't know. Why?" Michael said looking worried.
"Apparently, according to this, you two are making wedding plans. I would appreciate it if you would let me know next time you decide to get engaged." Greta laughed.
"Well, I don't have to tell you everything. I like that headline 'Rocks hottest hunk melts the Ice Queen.' Did you hear that, love, I am a hunk." Michael laughed.
"Tell me something I didn't know already. Can I get a copy of that picture. Maybe I will blow it up and hang it on my wall as a poster." Lisa told them.
"You aren't upset about the name are you? I told them not to say it anymore, but you know how these things go. After that picture, though, I think you have forever lost that little nickname." Michael told her.
