"If I did then I'm truly sorry for ... whatever I did." Alex says.
“You didn’t do anything.” I state. I don’t know why I feel so miffed about the fact that Alex is distracted by thoughts of another woman. On some level I know that I am happy for Alex and on another level, well I don’t know. Alex is my friend. Full stop. That’s all it is. I don’t know why I’m being such an idiot.
“I guess Jake got to me more then I was willing to admit.” I lie.
I don’t like lying. I hate it. I’ ve always prided myself on always telling it how it is. But right now I don’t even know what the truth is. I don’t know why I’m so annoyed that Alex is going out with a trashy redhead who has quite obviously had a breast job. I want to blame it on my spoilt brat background. I hate being pushed into second place because I love being center of attention and tonight on the dance floor, I didn’t have Alex’s attention.
God, I sound so stupid.

“I guess Jake got to me more then I was willing to admit.”
Thank God it wasn't something I did! Not that I want her to be glum because of Jake. I dont want her to be sad at all.
"Do you want to talk about it? I can be a good listener." I offer. Isabel doesn't seem estatic at the idea, so I quickly add, "Or do you want to talk about something totally different?"

OOC -- Page 3? Wow. Well, I guess several were bumped ahead of us because of the pruning warnings...

"I don't think that people believe he's a hero, I mean, you are the one who saved Maria from drowning, not him so … don't act like the jealous ex-boyfriend. It doesn't become you." Kels says. "So, sorry about rambling about this. I have no right to tell you what to do. God, I sound like my mother! Sorry."
"It's okay," I say, giving her a smile as we start to dance. "I'd rather hear your rambling than all of Maria's silence. She doesn't seem to think I'm a hero, even if I did save her," I shrug, feeling a bit grumpy about it. At first, there was that mis-understanding when she'd actually attributed it to Max, but we sorted that out. Heck, Max was even the one who made sure Maria knew it was me. She looked at me nice for about an hour, but she's been so hard to read since then. I haven't caught her at it, but she's probably still looking at Max instead of me.
"Thanks," I tell Kels. I stop before I go any further because it would sound so cheesy to say 'thanks for noticing. thanks for calling me a hero.' "for the ... for the dance," I manage at last.

I'm positve surprised that Michael isn't biting my head off. Hm, he mentioned Maria.
"Well, maybe Maria is a bit overhelmed by the whole tv thing, that must be a bit shocking ot be filmed 24/7 and she might be trying to forget about the drowning thing and if she thanks you for it, it would be a reminder that it happened."
When I noticed that Michael is looking a bit non plussed, I quickly add, "We were forced to take some psychology courses at the acadamy."

"Or do you want to talk about something totally different?"
“Talking about something different works for me.” I state quickly before Alex can add anything else about Jake. I scan my brain for something to talk about, something that doesn’t involve dating, Jake or the redhead.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Maria head towards the restroom. Hmm, maybe what I really need is a little girl time.
“I’m going to go and check my makeup. I‘ll be right back.” I tell Alex before heading in the same direction as Maria.

"Sure. Have fun!" I call after Isabel, surprised about her sudden leave. And, her make up appeared perfect to me but ... what do I know?
Or maybe I did piss her off and she's too polite to tell me?
Hehe, right, as if that would be it. Isabel is brutally honest about what and who she likes and doesn't like.
Oh well, Maria went to the restroom too and since girls like to go there in groups ... it might not have anything to do with me!
"Orange soda and ... a Bahama Mama, please." I tell the barkeeper when she finally turns to me. Just hope Isabel likes that drink.

*Wishing for a Liz post.....*
*Max*
I watch Liz with her dad for a moment and then decide I ought to do something-else. I move back out to the dance floor and gently tap Kyle on the shoulder.
"May I cut in here?" I ask. Afterall, he is dancing with my date.
*~*~*~*~*~*
*Michael*
"I guess that's possible," I tell Kels. It does make sense. "But I'm not really expecting her to talk about it every minute. I just wish she would have talked about something. I don't know what the deal was. I thought we were 'together' but she wouldn't say a word."
I shrug, like it doesn't matter. "But that's the past and I don't want to talk about that. You and I can have some fun, instead." I say, flashing her a winning smile. "I could take you to the point later and we could do some stargazing, if you like."

I laugh at Michael's words. "Very smooth but I promised Liz's family that I'd bring them to the hotel later and I'm gonna stay there. Maybe some other time."
"You know, maybe Maria is just confused herself about it all. I mean, scared of getting hurt, starting to really like you when in a few months you are gonna leave Miami again."
KYLE
"May I cut in here?"
I was about to ignore the statement when I realize that it was Max. Can't really say that he can't dance with his girl, can I?
"Sure." I step back and let him take my place. "Till later." I smile at them kinda forced and look around, spotting Alex at the bar. The bar is always a great place to be - especially since Evans dragged me away from there.
Deciding to play nice, I turn back to the two again, "Do you want me to order some drinks for you or do you still have some?"

Almost as soon as I mention that Tess and Kyle are dancing by us, Max slowly stops dancing, and I stand there, not quite sure what happened. Did he feel bad that we were dancing? Maybe he felt that he should be dancing with Tess? They are . . . whatever it is that they are. An almost couple? He is about to say something, probably say that he has to go and do something, I suppose, but a tap on his shoulder saves him.
A smile claims my lips as my Dad slides into the space Max just occupied and he begins to dance with me.
“Your mom and I are heading back to the hotel in a few minutes, but I couldn't go without a dance with my favorite girl. Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?” he says, and I look away as I feel a blush creep up to my cheeks.
I was about to say something to him; that I was so glad he and my family were able to make it down here for my birthday, but he says something that makes me pause. “That young man Max is very nice. I'm so glad he was able to get us all included today.”
Max was the one that organized it all? He was the one that made sure that my family would be here? It was him? That can’t be. He would have said something, wouldn’t he?
“Yeah, he is,” I manage to say to him, while my mind is still spinning. Am I misunderstanding what he said? I probably didn’t, but I wanted to be sure. I needed to be sure. I needed to talk to Kels as soon as I could, but I didn’t want to cut the dance with Dad short. “I’m so glad that you were able to come Dad. It started to feel a little more like home with everyone here.”

</center>OOC -- Trude, I hope you don't mind this extended use of Kels. I know originally it was just going to be three or four posts...

Maybe some other time, she says. Like WHEN exactly? I'm not exactly going to be running into her when I'm back in California and I doubt she'll be on the show again. I can't believe she's just rejecting me like that. Well, I guess it's her loss, but it doesn't mean I have to stop trying...
I shrug again at Kels theory about Maria. "Doesn't make much sense to me. She can't be planning to shut herself off from everyone for all this time. That'd be so boring and not any fun at all. She seemed like a really wild, risk-taking person when we'd first met. I guess first impressions can be wrong."
*Max*
"They cleared away our drinks already," I tell Kyle when he asks. "But I think I'm okay for now." I turn to Tess, holding her hand. "Did you want something?"
