saori_1902 Thanks!
Carrie I think you are right about Isabel and Liz. Not so sure Max is going to like the idea!
L-J-L 76 Alex and Isabel getting married? Maybe
Eve Isabel only has a small roll in this. But I thought that having her be sweet to Liz would be a nice change of pace.
Carolyn Alex's entrance was great!
Part 27
Liz walked into the living room an hour later. Max smiled as she walked in. He walked over to her and gave her a kiss.
"Looked like you and my sister were bonding." Said Max
"Is that a bad thing?" Asked Liz
"I'm not sure yet."
"Liz, these are Alex's parents. Charles and Emily Whitman." Said Diane
"It's nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Whitman. I'm Liz Parker, Max's girlfriend." Said Liz
"Nice to meet you Liz." Said Emily coldly
Just then Alex and Isabel came in. Everyone turned turned to look at them. Isabel just smiled then spoke.
"Thank you everyone for being here tonight. The reason Alex and I asked all of you here is, Alex asked me to marry him. I said yes. We are engaged." Said Isabel
"That's wonderful honey!" said Diane wrapping Isabel in a hug.
"Welcome to the family Alex." Said Philip
Liz noticed that the Whitman's didn't seem as happy about the news as the Evans did.
"Max are you happy for your sister?" Asked Liz
"Yeah. Alex is a good guy and they really love each other." Said Max
"I don't think his parents are happy about it."
"They have never been real happy about them dating. Mr. Whitman always hoped that Alex would get together with the daughter of the CEO of this computer company they have been trying to merge with for a while."
"But that isn't what Alex wanted."
"Nope. Personally I met the girl once. She is kind of a bitch."
Isabel came over to them and Max pulled her into a hug.
"Congregations big sister." Said Max
"Thanks. Now Liz, I really hope that you and Max stay together. I would like you to be a brides maid." Said Isabel
"I would be very happy to do that. I don't plan to let Max get away." Said Liz
"Good. I may have just met you today, but I can tell you have been good for my brother."
"Thanks." Said Liz smiling.
A short time later everyone when into the dinning room for dinner. It was a peaceful meal even with the dirty looks that the Whitmans shot every now and again at Isabel. After dinner Max and Liz headed out to the garden to talk.
"So what did you and my sister talk about earlier?"
"How we met, why I have your name tattooed on me, our sex life."
"No Liz you didn't talk about our sex life!"
"Only a little. She just wanted to know if you treated me right."
"I wish she would bud out of that stuff."
"It doesn't bother me. Have you forgotten who my roommates are?"
"No. Liz, you really are OK right? I mean we haven't been together like that since before you were hurt."
"Yes. Max, the truth is I have been scared to let you see the scar that was left."
"Liz, no matter what you will always be beautiful to me. It's the inner beauty that I see."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Besides I think you could always get another tattoo to hide it if you want."
"What do you think I should get?"
"Well I have to see it first. But maybe a long stem rose?"
"We will see."
Max leaned down and gave Liz a passionate kiss. Liz groaned as Max moved his hands under her her shirt. She loved the feel of his hands on her skin.
"Maybe we should take this inside?" Asked Liz
"Sounds good to me."
