Really quick part from me, wasn't sure what else I could write so this is slightly blah.
Isabel
"So, ...you prefer Izzy to Iz then?" Alex asks
I shrug, “I’ve never given it much thought. I’ve just always been called Izzy or Iz. I guess it really depends on what people prefer to call me.”
As I finish speaking, Kyle walks past the room and waves at Alex. Kyle sends another wary look, similar to the one he gave me downstairs, in my direction. I wonder what I’ve done to make him seem so nervous around me.
“I think he is scared of me,” I state when Kyle is out of sight.

Ruby, your avi is awesome ... I can 100 % relate to it!
and that part from me is pretty blah too
ALEX
"Scared?" I ask doubfully. How could someone be scared of such a beautiful creature? Well, maybe her beauty scares him. Wow, that sounds corny.
"I don't know, I mean, true you are taller than him but you certainly aren't scary." I say, rubbing at my temple trying to figure out why Kyle would be scared of Isabel.
"Ah, so I'm not scaring you?"
"No, you sometimes confuse me but you are not scarying me." I reply truthfully.
"Well, you did seem a bit scared yourself when I mentioned castrating in the car." Isabel told me with raised eyebrows.
I can't help but wince at the word. "I know but that wasn't because I was scared of you … more of the effects of said word." I try to explain but since she's only smirking, I guess I'm not doing a good job.
Trying to change the topic of conversation, I ask, "What do you think about Max and Tess?"
Now that Jake is out of the window, maybe Max is the IT boy again. Or maybe Isabel knows about Liz's crush on Max.

lol, me too. I saw it and thought well that about says it all.Ruby, your avi is awesome ... I can 100 % relate to it!

"What do you think about Max and Tess?" Alex asks
I frown as I think about Alex’s question. What do I think about Max and Tess? How am I meant to answer that question. I mean, honestly I haven’t given Max and Tess much thought since I’ve been so wrapped up in my own tragic lust affair and I don’t really know Tess all that well, haven’t even spoken to her for more then a few seconds and that was to talk about Alex.
“Max is my friend and I want him to be happy. I don’t really know Tess well enough to comment but if she makes Max happy then I’m happy for them although to be honest with you I thought that Max and Liz…” I trail off, knowing that I shouldn’t have opened my mouth but then again Alex is suddenly looking shifty and won’t make eye contact with me. I narrow my eyes, “You know something don’t you!”
“I should let you have your shower….” Alex says trying to leave the room. I grab his arm, forcing him to turn back around.
“Come on Alex, if you know something you should tell me! That’s what friends do!”

“Come on Alex, if you know something you should tell me! That’s what friends do!”
"Aww, that's not fair to use the friends card!" I moan.
"Alleeex. Come on!" Isabel whines again.
She is my friend so I guess I should tell her but then I also promised Liz that ... hm ...
"You say that since we are friends, I should tell you?" I ask to make sure my way of thinking is right.
"Well, yeah." Isabel says in a matter of fact voice.
"And friends also should keep their promises?"
"Yeah?" Isabel replies a bit wary this time.
"Well, then I'm afraid I can't tell you, since I promised another friend to not tell anyone about her ... well, I just can't tell you." I finish hastily, already cursing myself for saying so much.

"Well, then I'm afraid I can't tell you, since I promised another friend to not tell anyone about her ... well, I just can't tell you." Alex hastily finishes.
I sigh and admit defeat, which isn’t easy considering who I am and how I’ve been bought up. The Anderson family motto has always been Vincere aut mori - Either conquer or die and its always been a rare occurrence that anyone would deny me anything, if I wanted something I would take it and right now its taking me a hell of a lot of self-control not to beg Alex to tell me what he knows.
I wonder what he knows, it must be pretty important if he is being so tight-lipped about it. It sucks that Alex can’t tell me.
“How about if you write it down?” I ask, not willing to admit complete defeat. Its just not in my nature to give up completely. Alex raises an eyebrow at me in disbelief. “Oh come on, if you write it down its not telling me”

nice idea - writing it down ALEX
“Oh come on, if you write it down its not telling me”
I can't help but laugh at this. At first I was thinking that Isabel was only joking but now I realize that she's serious.
"Come on Isabel ...." I say still chuckling.
"Come on Alex ..." Isabel mocks me.
I don't know how I could have missed it but her hand is still resting casually on top of my arm. Probably explains these warm and fuzzy feelings inside me.
"What next? You trying to bribe me with chocolate?"
"Would it work?" Isabel immediately asks.
"No! I mean ..." how much would she offer? "... NO!" That's right Alex, stay strong and don't let those big beautiful brown eyes tear down your resistance.
lol. Poor Alex!"No! I mean ..." how much would she offer? "... NO!" That's right Alex, stay strong and don't let those big beautiful brown eyes tear down your resistance.
Isabel
"No! I mean ...... NO!" Alex says forcefully but I can tell that he’s near breaking point and all I have to do is press the right buttons. I should have been spy.
I chew my lip as I plan my next move. What to do? What to do? Alex is too smart to actually fall for the chocolate bribe and I don’t think that there’s anything else I could bribe him with unless…no that won’t do either. What should be my next move? Emotional blackmail? Maybe I should leave that one for last. Who knows how much longer Alex can hold out?
“What do you think of Max and Tess?” I ask, raising an eyebrow. Whatever Alex knows must have something to do with Max and Tess. And possibly Liz. And there is no way that Alex is leaving this room until he tells me what is going on.

Ruby, I think I could stare at your avi for hours!
ALEX
Good God, she's chewing on her lower lip in such a sexy way. How can I stay strong when is doing that?
“What do you think of Max and Tess?” Isabel asks then with her eyebrows raised.
That's a really normal question, I just asked it minutes ago but still ... I can't help but narrow my eyes suspiciously, knowing that I'm walking on dangerous ground.
"Well, Max is a cool guy. After all, he hasn't tried to beat me up since yesterday and we put yesterday's event behind us. I still don't think that the magazines in the jeep were his and Tess ... she's really bubbly and when she has a goal she really wants to make it. She is nice too, fun to be around."
"And what about Max AND Tess?"
Damnit, I thought I could avoid that, I should have known better.
"Welllll, so far, I'm not knowing whether the two are serious or not. They were out last night and spent some time together but that doesn't prove anything."
I hope Isabel believes that, even though she certainly isn't that naive to fall for that story,I'm afraid. What could I tell her? I could ... Eureka!
"That's why I asked you." I say triumphantly, "I don't know what to make of them - are they together, are they not - so I thought I'd ask for someone else's opinion."
Please, believe it believe it believe it believe it!

Damn it. Alex is smarter then he looks. I was sure that he was going to accidentally say something of use then but instead he has turned the whole thing around.
Damn, damn, damn. God, if only Alex was a normal guy, I’d be able to get it out of him in no time at all. But then again Alex is a guy and hello I’m Isabel Anderson. I can have any guy I want eating out of my hand apart from Max but he is my friend and damn it so is Alex.
Okay, so Alex can win this battle but I’ve still got time to win the war. Vincere aut mori baby, Vincere aut mori.
I smile sweetly at Alex. He sure looks like he could use a hug around now. Poor baby.
The look on Alex’s face as I move to hug him is priceless. I wish I had a camera. “You know Alex, you can tell me anything!” I whisper in his ear as I embrace him.

I know!Watch it, Alex! You'll have Isabel suspecting that you're interested in Tess,
Ruby, unfair use of female charms here!
ALEX
I really really don't like the look Isabel has on her face right now. She is planning something and I'm sure I won't like it.
Why is she smiling at me like that? Why? I'm really worried now. Oh God, she's coming closer, she'll hit me now, I'm sure of it.
“You know Alex, you can tell me anything!”
I can't help but shiver when I feel her breath on my neck. She smells really great, a mix between wild flowers and …
"C'mon Alex, you want to tell me." Isabel coaxes me, again in a low voice.
Tell her? I want to tell her? What do I want to tell her? OH NO! This is about Max and Tess and I can't tell her. I mean, Liz wll hate me but … I … Isabel is so close and … I'm just me and not Superman, I can't resist her and …
"I once stripped at my ex-girlfriend's birthday party in front of her mother." I blurt out.
"What?" Isabel pulls back a bit in surprise and I can already feel my face heating up in embarrassement.
"You said I can tell you anything and I felt like getting that off my chest."
