"Do you got amnesia or somet'in Whitman? You had the first fight with Max. Great swing ya got on ya." Michael says
I hadn't realized that I was talking so loud. The stupid thing is that he's even right but I almost forgot about the trouble between me and Max. I'm not too sure if he's mocking me with the *great swing* comment or not.
"I meant "fighting" more in the sense of yelling and screaming, not talking to each other for days and lots of tension in the house." I clarify, now looking at Michael and at the same time checking in my mind if things were like that when Max and I didn't get along. No, no yelling and screaming if I remember correctly.
KELS
"I hope she finds someone who knows that."
That sentence really doesn#t say if he gets my hints or not. At least he looked at me a bit ... strangely, like he's thinking about something - that gives me hope that he caught on.
"To be honest, I think she already has someone she likes but ... she's such a shy girl, she'd rather let the person slip away then do the first step and tell him her feelings." I tell Max. Okay, so that's not 100 % true but I'm on a tight schedule here since I leave in a few hours again. I have to get things going between the two.

*Michael*
I snort at Alex's comment. "Oh, you mean a girl fight," I say. "I guess that would suit you better." It's not that guys don't ever do stuff like that, but normally the guys I know are a lot more up-front about things when they're mad. Most guys, anyway. Alex just might be the sulking type.
I don't really much care although it would be cool if one or more of the girls decided to be mad at Max. Although if the porn in his jeep didn't make that happen, I'm guessing it's not gonna. Who knew these girls were so open-minded? It does leave the door open for all sorts of things, if I could get any of them to talk to me.
I glance over at Maria who hasn't said a word to me since we all sat down. I wonder how much pornography she's seen. I wonder if she's into it.
*Max*
"To be honest, I think she already has someone she likes but ... she's such a shy girl, she'd rather let the person slip away then do the first step and tell him her feelings." Kels says.
The words make me glance over at Liz immediately and I try to hide my frown. She's opening up a present from her sister now and she looks really happy. I'm so glad she's having a good time. I wonder who she likes. Someone from the house? I'm sure it's not Michael and Alex swore she wasn't interested in him or Kyle. Could he be wrong? Maybe she does like Kyle, after all?
"That would be terrible," I say quietly to Kels. I wish it were me, I think, but keep my thoughts quietly. Instead, I say, "I wish I could help. Is it someone from home in Georgia or from work, here?"
I glance at the one 'guy-friend' who was enough of a friend that he had to be invited here, but I didn't think I'd seen any chemistry like that between them. Kels would have told me that there was someone-else who should have been included when I was looking to set this up, wouldn't she?

"I guess that would suit you better."
I narrow my eyes at Michael's comment but don't answer. I so don't want to start an argument on Liz's birthday party. When Max can keep his cool around him, then I can too.
If only I could get my conversation with Isabel started again.

"I wish I could help. Is it someone from home in Georgia or from work, here?"
I look at Max for a long moment. Am I really that bad at giving hints or is he really so dense? And I'm so not sure which one I'd prefer, I mean, I'd like to think the best of me and I don't want Liz with an idiot so ...
"He's not from Georgia." I reply and almost add *someone from work* but then don't, he'd never realize that I mean him. But Liz will kill me if I say 'I am talking about you!'
"You'd never believe who it is." I finally say, after all, he really doesn't seem to know it.

Turning my attention to the birthday girl, I smile at the scene of Liz opening her presents and her friends and family being all excited with her. Looks like Max's idea is a full success. Liz will love him even more now and I'm still hoping that there's a way for her and Max to get together without Tess being hurt. I guess I'm stil pretty naive when it comes to love triangles.
Glancing at Isabel, I can't help but grin. She's pretty excited too - probably because her ideas and gift seem to find approval.
"Your birthday parties at home like this too?" I ask her, already guessing that it's not the case. Isabel probably has her 200 closest friends invited into a club to have huge parties every hear. "No wait, let me guess. You ususally have strippers at your parties, don't you?"

“No wait, let me guess. You usually have strippers at your parties, don't you?” Alex says with a grin.
I laugh, “No, no strippers. I don’t think my dad would be too keen on male strippers prancing around although I‘m sure my grandmother would enjoy herself fully. No, normally on my actual birthday I just have a quiet dinner with my dad and grandmother and then we go to the ballet or opera.”

I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised. I know that Isabel and her dad get along really well but I suspected that she'd have a big glamorous party with all of her friends on her big day.
"Well, I didn't really say anything about *male* strippers." I mumble but then continue before she can reply and I start daydreaming of Isabel, strippers ...
"You are really close with your family, especially your dad, aren't you?"

I nod and try to ignore the sudden longing for home. “We’ve always been close and I’ve always been a daddy’s girl. When my mom died…” I pause and wait for the pain to lessen. Its always so hard to talk about my mom, to remember what I am missing, even after all these years it still hurts.
“When my mom died, we only had each other.” I continue. “Sometimes it hard but I know I can I talk to him about anything. Well, almost anything.” I add with a small smile as I remember the awkward conversation me and my dad had when I was thirteen and got my first period.

I smile at Isabel's words. It's obvious that she loves her father very much. Just as obvious as it is to hear the pain in her voice when talkig about her mother.
I silently say a little prayer for my mom being alieve and not leaving me alone with my dad and my brothers. Not that I don't like them or anything but ... mom has most of the time been on my sides when my dad and I had an argument so ... God bless her.
"I'm sorry if I brought up sad memories." I tell Isabel when I notices that she still looks a little bit sad. I grab my serviette and play with it to prevent myself from leaning over and hugging - or kissing - Isabel. "I really didn't want to make you sad."

Alex starts talking to Isabel again, ignoring me. That leaves me alone again. Just Maria here and she's still not talking. I turn to look past her, hoping to listen in on what Kyle is saying to Tess but not having much luck at the minute.
Rolling my eyes, I grab another beer and take a big gulp before turning to Maria again. "Are you enjoying yourself at all?" I ask. I don't know if she's having fun silently or if she's sulking about something. I wish the girl would TALK!
*Maxwell*
I glance over at Liz, realizing that she's now opening the presents that Isabel had picked out. She seems to love them, which makes Isabel beam. I'm so glad.
If this guy isn't from Georgia, then it has to be someone in the house or someone from work. My fingers tense as I realize I should be trying to help her get together with whoever it is. I want her to be happy. I really do. But part of me has kinda liked seeing that she's un-attached. It makes our friendship, easier, even 'though I know she doesn't want any more. ... I'm not sure how it will feel to see her actively interested in some other guy.
"You'd never believe who it is." Kels says, looking all mysterious. Her eyebrow goes up and she tilts her head like there's more I'm supposed to be understanding. She hides her smile behind a cup of coffee and I know she's hinting at something she doesn't want to say. Or doesn't want to say yet. I bet it's someone from the house.
"Maybe somebody at this table?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. The look in Kels' eye seems to confirm it.
I glance at Kyle and Alex, biting my lip. I hope it's not Alex. How hard would it have been for her to be helping him get together with Isabel if she was interested in him? As hard as me getting her together with Kyle... what's he got that I haven't got?... I wonder.
"Well, I know it's not me," I say, keeping my tone light and merely amused. Hoping she can't hear how much it's killing me to admit that. Still, I do keep my voice low so that Tess can't hear me. 'Though at the moment she's rather involved in some conversation with Kyle.

sorry for leaving Michael alone again 
KELS
I'm slowly starting to understand the saying *behind every man is a strong women*. After what I see so far of Max, there has to be a woman behind things like electricity, cars, trains and so on - men alone would never have managed to invent those!
"Why are you so sure that it ain't you?" I ask, hoping that when he thinks about it, he won't find any good reasons.
