I sigh when she doesn't continue talking about my 'family'.

"I'll think about some pictures of Seth and me but for now, some nature stills would be great. And I insist on paying, after all, you are a professional and I don't want you to get into tax problems or something."

"I'll think about some pictures of Seth and me but for now, some nature stills would be great. And I insist on paying, after all, you are a professional and I don't want you to get into tax problems or something."

"Well I can say I took the pictures out of the stock as drawings, and therefore if I give them to you it came out of my capital." I say smiling. I know my stuff when it comes to taxes.

*Liz*

The sexy male specimen gives me a playful smile and then bargins,

"Why don't you stick around a while? I'll make you a deal, you just got in right? Take today to rest and relax and I'll do the same. And, if anyone starts hearing me talk about cases that I'm dealing with, I give permission for you to smack me."

I have to grin at this. Wow, Maria is quite the lucky lady. If he was my boyfriend you couldn'y pay me to hop on a plane and leave him. I forcefully try to remove those impure thoughts from my already scattered brain. Friend's boyfriend = Bad. It's that simple. I repeat that over and over but I still feel guilty. If he just weren't so gorgeous, and charming and if that glint in his eye wasn't so.... Ahhh!

"Deal." I agree before biting my lip nervously and turning away.

"So... Tess you mentioned something earlier about shopping. You want to take me on my first spree in a new town?" I questioned hoping I can get a grip on these conflicted feelings.

Maria

As the plane continues to dip and shake around, my panic increases, until I feel an arm around my shoulder and a hand covering my own. "We'll be alright, Maria. Don't worry. We're not going to die." Michael says, and I try hard not to think about the plane, instead focusing on Michael's words.

"You'll have plenty of time to fall in love. Try to relax." He adds, and I can't remember what I said, so I just nod and lean into his hand, which is now running through my hair. My mother used to do that when I was little; it was the only way I could calm down. Either this guy is a mind reader, or he's just really good with coincidences.

I grip his hand and try to start up a breathing pattern, and even while I'm doing so, the plane doesn't seem to be dipping as much. "I'm not going to die? I'm not going to die," I whisper, a smile of relief on my face.

"You know, you're really good at calming people down, what are you, a psychologist?" I ask, still smiling a moment later as I look at Michael beside me. One good quality of mine has often been recovering quickly. But that doesn't mean I still didn't sound like an idiot.

"Sorry, I tend to ramble," I add, flinching as the plane dips again.

ALEX

I have to laugh when isabel argues back. "Okay, I give up, we do it your way then. But I think we should go back before Seth gets all jumpy."

I take a step to the door but then turn back again, remembering that she was alone in the living room. "Not that I'm forcing you back since you seemed to be occupied when I came to you."

~~~~~ISABEL~~~~~
"Okay, I give up, we do it your way then. But I think we should go back before Seth gets all jumpy....Not that I'm forcing you back since you seemed to be occupied when I came to you."

"Oh....no....to be honest I don't even know what was on the TV....I just....felt akward....after...."
I drift off, looking down at the floor.

ALEX

I look at Isabel confused. She actually looks kinda ... ashamed I guess.

"After what? You have me a little confused here, I must admit." I say after a moment of silence. I bet it is something obvious that I should know.

~~~~~ISABEL~~~~~
"After what? You have me a little confused here, I must admit."

I sigh. I really don't want to tell him this... I mean doesnt he know?

"I feel bad about telling Seth he could have the cookies" I admit. "He's your son, I only just met him and...well I shouldn't have said anything. It wasn't my place"

TESS

"So... Tess you mentioned something earlier about shopping. You want to take me on my first spree in a new town?"

There’s a collective groan from my so called friends when Liz mentions a shopping trip. I love shopping and I so do not have a problem or an addiction to shopping like the others have suggested. It is a hobby. One that supplies hours and hours of joy and happiness. One that I will never ever give up.

“Take it back, take it back!” Zan mutters, pretending to look scared while Serena tries to pretend that she isn’t sniggering behind her hand. Like I said, so called friends. I mean, please! As if I, a five foot 2 blonde, could scare Zan, who has gone on record declaring that he is the man. And let’s not forget to consider who his girlfriend is. I love Serena to pieces but sometimes she can be plain scary.

I glare at Zan, “I would love to take you shopping. Macy’s is having a huge sale. Oooh and maybe we could head over to Bloomingdale’s or Saks. Or we could head straight to Madison Avenue. They have Prada.”

ALEX

"He's your son, I only just met him and...well I shouldn't have said anything. It wasn't my place"

Oh, that!

"Hey, don't worry. You were being polite to Seth, there's nothing wrong with that. Anyone else would have said the same." I say with a shrug. "Besides, so far, no one woman ever stood a chance when he used his puppy dog eyes, I can see myself getting into some trouble because of him in about ten years or so."

I add the last with a laugh, hoping to convince Isabel that what she said really wasn't something bad.
