Ch 19:
Liz could not believe her ears. ‘Did Maria and Michael have sex? Does she know? What if she doesn’t? How could she not if they did?’ these thoughts rushed Liz’s mind but then the thought that Michael could have sex with Maria and not say anything about his alien status to Maria she said, “That Jerk,” aloud.
Chapter 20:
Isabel’s eyes went wide when she heard Max and Liz’s conversation. She was hoping Max and Michael would show up at their usual lunch table but when neither showed up she finished eating and came to the library. She was looking for a book she needed for a psych paper she was working on when she heard her brother’s voice.
“Can I see it again? I think your right. Does it hurt? Do you feel different??”
When Isabel caught sight of Liz on Max’s lap through the stack of books she couldn’t stop the disgusted look that crossed her face. She wanted to find her book quickly and get far away from them before she had to see anything else. Liz’s next words caught her attention though and realization dawned on her. “No it doesn’t hurt, but yes I do feel different. Ever since you left this morning I haven’t been able to think of anything but kissing my boyfriend.”
‘Max wouldn’t have been dumb enough to sleep with her, would he?’ Isabel thought too stunned for words.
Chapter 22a
Journal Entry 22
What was that I said about the unexpected being great? No, no sometimes the unexpected could be bad, very, very bad…
~~~
“Max, why don’t we just go back to my place? How many times do we have to get caught before we learn to not make out in your room,” Liz whispered as Max’s lips paid close attention to her neck and shoulder.
Stopping for only a moment to get Liz’s mind back on track Max said, “The door is locked, in a very special way that only the Jaws of Life could pry open…”
“Yeah, the Jaws of Life or Michael and Isabel,” Liz retorted.
Max lost his grin and said, “Okay yeah true, but Michael is working and Isabel and Maria are at his place decorating, so they’ll be occupied for a long time.” Max said moving back in for a kiss, but Liz averted his attempts.
“Do you think we should help?” Liz asked the question innocently enough but Max only saw the possibility of losing Liz out of his bed for an afternoon with his sister and friend. He did not think that was a good compromise.
“What? No, you know whatever they do he’s going to hate. We can’t help. No, I told Isabel that as long as they leave his posters, music and TV alone everything else is free reign and they bought him groceries so he’ll be great. They don’t need us now.” He emphasized his last words while playing with the bottom edge of her top.
“And your parents?” Liz couldn’t help but ask even though she knew the answer.
They always have the same conversation on his bed since getting caught, so Max was ready with responses, “Dad and Uncle George are golfing at the country club and they’ll be gone till right before dark and Mom took Aunt Gail and my cousins shopping. Relax Liz. No one’s coming back for hours and you know we can’t go back to your place now. If Amy sees us she’ll get on us and we won’t have any time alone for days.”
“Yeah, yeah your right. I’m sorry it’s that I had this whole weekend set and mom goes and tells Amy to keep an eye on me... on us,” Liz says rolling her eyes. “And the last thing we need is for your parents catching us again.”
Rolling off of Liz Max said, “Okay, that’s it. You are too wound up. Here move to the middle of the bed and turn around.”
“Max, what are you doing?” Liz said as she saw Max rummaging through his draws.
“Looking for this,” Max said producing a large bottle of lotion. “I’m going to give you a massage. You need to unwind. You're too tense and I want you very relaxed while I’m kissing you,” Max said stealing a few kisses.
“Hum, are you sure this isn’t just an excuse to get me out of my top?” Liz said teasingly.
“Maybe…do you have a problem with that?” Instead of a verbal response Liz turned around, unbuttoned her blouse, took it off and threw it onto Max’s head. Then, she grabbed his two pillows putting one on her stomach and the other under her head.
“Okay you can start,” Liz said muffling the smile tugging at her lips at Max’s audible gulp.
‘Oh yeah this afternoon was going to be great,’ Max thought as he lathered up his hands with a lot of Jergens’ Shea Butter Cream.

“Damn it Maria, the only way we are going to agree on anything is if we split the work up,” Isabel all but screamed. ‘God,’ Isabel thought. What Michael could possibly see in this girl she would never know. She is definitely an accident waiting to happen.
“Fine!” Maria huffed. Isabel was getting on her last nerve and her Ice Princess tendencies were ringing high that day. “I’ll start the bedroom…”
“I’ll do the kitchen and bathroom…”
“And we’ll both decide what to do about the living room…” Isabel and Maria concluded together. It was the first thing they had agreed on all day. They had gone shopping together that morning to pick some things up for Michael and continue onto his place to surprise him after work, but Isabel knew that if they did not go to their respective corners she’d be all too tempted to zap Maria, and she didn’t think either of her brothers would appreciate that. Or Alex for that matter. ‘Oh, where did that thought come from?’ Isabel said to herself as she caught Maria’s retreating figure and turned to start putting the kitchen in order.
***
“I want to work. I want this job. I like to have money to pay for my bills.” Michael kept chanting little words of encouragement to himself to stop his mind from going crazy off of hamburger fumes. It was barely midday and already he was exhausted, but he did decide to work opening today so he’d be home in time for the hockey game. “This job equals cable, so I can watch more than three channels. I could just get free cable if Maxwell would just help me connect to the damn neighbor, like it would take him more than a wave of his hand…”
“Talking to yourself is never a good sign Michael, people around here will start to call you crazy,” Kyle jested to the mumbling cook.
“What do you want Valenti? If you haven’t noticed I’m kind of busy,” Michael said, trying to stomp out a small fire with his spatula.
“Actually, I’m looking for Liz. Is she around?” Kyle asked too innocently for Michael's liking.
Giving Kyle an annoyed look Michael grunted, “She’s probably off with her boyfriend, Max. You know Max, right?”
“I’m not trying to step on your friend's toes Guerin. It was just a question. I needed to ask Liz something and I was around so…”
“Yeah, well like I said, she’s with Max, her boyfriend,” Michael finished going back to work and effectively ending the conversation. “I hate my job,” he mumbled to himself again.

Alex was starving. He had just gotten done with band practice and he was in dire need of nourishment. He had just gotten back into town early that morning, leaving his parents at his grandparents home for the long weekend, and they had neglected to stock the fridge with any form of pre-made substances. There was plenty of food, but it was the type he’d have to cook for himself, so after practice he hauled the band into the Crash Down and had one thing on his mind. FOOD! Or more specifically, a Will Smith burger with extra everything, large Space fries, a Mercury Milkshake, and an orange soda to wash it all down with and after that he was torn between a Hot fudge blast off or an Asteroid pie, “Maybe I’ll have both,” he thought aloud.
“Alex your stomach is talking for you again,” said Wendy Lavely the Whits lead singer, a tall, slender brunette with deep blue eyes that contrasted her tanned skin well, and a voice to rival Mariah’s, Whitney's and Christina's.
“It hasn’t shut up for all of practice. We need to get this boy some food,” said Christian Thomas, the beefy dark- skinned drummer with twists in his hair. He was the new drummer and welcome addition to the band. They had so many change ups but everything finally seemed to sound right with this mix.
“Well, he can fend for himself. Nicky wants some Takeoff Tacos, a Chilli Rocket Dog, and a Tommy Lee Jones bacon basket. WAITRESS!” let out Nicky Santos the lead guitar player, a punked out Mexican kid with spiky black hair. All of Alex’s talk about food on the ride over had his and Alex’s stomachs rivaling for attention.
“Dude, that’s so rude. Plus, like five of the waitress here would seriously spit in our food for something like that,” said Markos the tall lanky blond haired blue eyed rhythm guitarist.
“Nah, Alex has got it in with those two hot waitresses he’s always hanging around with,” threw back Nicky.
“That may be true, but if you haven’t noticed they don’t seem to be here and Maria would still do it even if you are my friend. Go grab some seats guys, just not in that section over there. This is Agnes’ section and not only will she spit in our food, but she’ll do it after getting it to us 30 minutes late,” Alex said gesturing to the section of tables in the middle. “I’ll be right back.”
Alex was too hungry to wait for food, he had a mission. “If the mountain will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain,” he said to a group of confused friends on his way through the back room of the Crash.
~~~
“Alex! Hey how you doing?” said Kyle a little anxiously . I’m looking for Liz. You wouldn’t happen to know where she is?”
‘Damn it, with the damn obstacles,’ Alex thought, ‘I’m so close.’ Letting out a deep breath and putting a hand on his upset stomach Alex said, “Oh hey Kyle, you know she’s probably upstairs or something. It’s her weekend off and she said something about doing Liz and Max stuff all weekend, so that probably a good place to start,” then back tracking quickly, “Actually it may not be. You don’t need to be scarred for life like the rest of us have been, just leave her a message or call upstairs or Max’s or something. Look, I got to go. I’ll talk to you later,” Alex said blowing past him and going into the kitchen.
~~~
“Michael hey,” Alex started.
“Why does no one respect my domain and the closed door?”
“Yeah, well sorry I was just…do you mind if I grab something in the fridge? I’ll pay for it. I’m just starving,” Alex started.
“Whatever man.”
“Thank you so so much,” Alex said as he walked straight into the fridge to grab a large piece of Asteroid Pie. “So can I just place my order with you too? I really am dying here.” Alex continued with his head in the fridge. When he grabbed a fork and dug into his first bite he couldn’t help his words. “Mmm, now this is heaven.” Alex said.
“Oh, so you’re going to eat that here?” Michael asked.
Alex was unfazed by Michael’s rudeness, now that he is long since used to his best friend’s boyfriend’s rough exterior. It was still a bit weird to think about them dating, even though he’s known about their relationship slightly longer than most. Writing his order with one hand and eating with the other Alex asked, “What’s got you in such a good mood? I thought you’d be ecstatic having two beautiful women spending their morning fixing up your place. It’s one less thing for you to think about,” as he dug further into the pie.
“What?!?”
“What? What?” Alex asked with a mouth full of whipped cream.
“What did you just say?” Michael asked getting anxious.
“I don’t know? Pie?” Alex replied. All the sugar had yet to make it back into his system and he wasn’t sure of much right now.
“What two girls?” Michael reiterated.
“Oh... did you not know that? Was that supposed to be like a surprise or something?” Alex said thinking Maria was going to kick his ass.
“What two girls?” Michael asked again.
“M-M-Maria and Isabel,” Alex stuttered.
“Great, just great,” Michael screamed as he went back to his burning food, “Crap.”
Trying to placate his slight error, “You know it wont be so bad, I mean they went there to like clean the place up and decorate and stuff,” Alex said still eating the pie and making his way back into the fridge for some ice cream.
“Yeah right, between all of the candles, incense, and plants Maria’s going put everywhere it’s going to smell like bath and body works then I have to worry about Isabel who’d turn my place into a Pottery Barn catalog and add her own touch of flowery girl crap everywhere. And if I don’t act like I like it then I’ll be fighting with both of them. Yeah great, just great, best freaking day ever,” Michael said all but trying to kill the already dead slab of meat on his grill.
As Michael went back to murmuring to himself Alex slowly started to back out of the kitchen, “Wow, yeah so uh I’m going to leave my order right here and I’m just going to take this and go…”
~~~
Walking back to his band mates, all Alex could think about was how he just stuffed his giant foot into his big mouth.
“Hey, how are you eating already?” Nicky asked.
“I went to the mountain,” Alex said.
“What?” came Nicky’s reply.
“Look guys, I’m going to take my food to go. I placed the order in the kitchen, but I forgot I had to do something.” Alex said thinking that he needed to warn Maria of his flub before Michael did.
“You finally got a little food in your system and your brain started to work again Alex,” teased Wendy.
“Yeah, heh that’s it. I got some strength back,” Alex said aloud. And boy was he going to need it he thought.
***
Baby it's no mystery
You're bringing out the best in me
And though I've been in love before
Max was not kidding about the great afternoon. After the massage he gave Liz she was more than relaxed, she was excited and so was he. Before either of them knew it Max’s shirt joined Liz’s on the floor and Liz’s bra soon after.
I've never had the kind of love that made me feel secure
I never thought that give and take
Mentality was right for me, hmm
To be truthful, Max had long since unhooked her bra, innocently of course. It was just so he wouldn’t get any lotion on it, but once he reached that point there was no going back. He started placing kisses wherever his hands went until Liz turned back to him to return them.
You made me open up and see
That it's for real
And there's no other place I'd rather be
With her bra already half off and Max’s lips coming closer and closer to her breast, well who really need the intrusion of the bra in the way at all? And before long, neither had the barriers of clothing covering the upper half of their bodies.
I think about you all the time
24-7 babe
“Oh Max,” Liz’s voice boomed through the room.
Max had really begun to perfect the way his hands and lips touched her body. It was always electrifying. Max was examining Liz’s body with such an intense perusal. He studied her every movement with his own body and touch, listening to what made Liz moan, groan, squirm, tense, scream, her every action was being memorized and logged away for use in his arsenal for later use. He wanted to know what made her feel good… great… and what made her feel like she was flying. He wanted to know her inside and out so he could make her feel as loved as she made him feel everyday.
The love I have inside for you
Is more than any words can say
I pray to God on bended knee
Before she found out Max was different, things were always intense between the two of them. However, after... well, Liz didn’t know whether it was because she knew who Max really was or because he finally decided to let go of his control around her, but every part of their relationship was better than ever. They were now really free to discuss anything and everything, no-holds-barred, because there were no longer any barriers between them and it was freeing.
We'll always be together babe
You and me
If there's a high or low
It made everything they did together that much more intense and neither were oblivious that people around them were beginning to notice. It’s only been about two weeks or so since he told her the truth, since their relationship changed for the better, but if the odd looks they’ve been receiving the past few days were any indication they were going to be confronted soon. Their friends and family had not gone as far as commenting yet, but both knew it was only a matter of time.
Unfortunately, this meant that Max and Liz’s alone time has been seriously cut by supervision on all fronts, and any alone time they had now seemed to be purposely interrupted and very obviously. They were both used to Max's parents by now, and now slowly Liz’s mother, but Isabel was a bit of an anomaly.
Last time Max and Liz decided to stay in to rent movies at his place Isabel went as far as sitting between Max and Liz one night, then she huffed up and left mad when Max spoke up about it. As a matter of fact Isabel was acting possessive when it came to Max and sometimes down right rude when it came to Liz... and Maria for that matter. Max knew he needed to speak to her about it, but he didn’t really understand where her attitude was coming from.
Max’s only worry at the moment though was Liz and how perfect she felt beneath him. Her soft skin was intoxicating and he’d let her know as much. Pulling back slightly Max took time to look at Liz. ‘She was really amazing,’ he thought.
Anything you need babe
I'll be there for you to pick you up off your feet, yeah
I pray to God on bended knee
Liz was in a passion filled haze. Max was making her feel amazing. She opened her eyes and found Max staring at her. He did not say anything for a moment, he just stared, but Liz did not feel the least bit uncomfortable. With Max the concept seemed foreign. She did not feel shame or need to hide herself because Max was just as open. Liz reached a hand up to brush the bangs away from Max’s eyes and Max caught her retreating hand, kissing his way up her arm, Max didn’t stop until he reached her lips for another searing kiss.
We'll always be together babe
You and me
Max pulled back again and smiled at Liz’s mild annoyance. Hearing her annoyed tone as she moaned his name, Max pulled back a little more, but not too much to lose contact. He’d been dying to say something to Liz for as long as he could remember and he just could not keep to himself any longer.
“Liz, I don’t know if this is the best time to say this or even how you’d feel about it, but I want you to know how I feel. I need you to know how I feel because nothing ever feels more perfect then when I am in your arms.”
The love I have inside for you
Is more than any words can say
I pray to God on bended knee
“I feel the same way,” Liz said causing a broad smile across Max’s face.
We'll always be together babe
You and me
“Good, good, because Liz, I lo-…”
“Holly shit!”
“Dude! Whoa!”
Max never got to finish his last words, the intrusion at his window made sure of that.

also an apology that about 1/3 of this update is a straight knock off of a section in toy house, but it was necessary and so please just trust me on that and i'll try not to go much further into taking big chunks of the tv show like that (a few lines is one thing but i OD' a bit)... now onto the chapter which i love so i hope you do too
