"Hey, don't worry. You were being polite to Seth, there's nothing wrong with that. Anyone else would have said the same. 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 give a small laugh. "Well...anyway Im sorry...and to be honest Im just feeling a little awkward...its like I don't even know my own family anymore."

ALEX

"Well...anyway Im sorry...and to be honest Im just feeling a little awkward...its like I don't even know my own family anymore."

"Ah, so you feel like a teenager all over again?" I grin at her but then get serious. "I am sure it is not as drastic as you think. I mean, I don't know why you feel that way but ... wouldn't the best way to overcome this be to go back into the kitchen with me?"

I don't want her to sit all alone in the dark while everoyne else is hanging out together.

~~~~~ISABEL~~~~~
"Ah, so you feel like a teenager all over again?"

He grins, and I admit, I find it hard not to laugh.

"I am sure it is not as drastic as you think. I mean, I don't know why you feel that way but ... wouldn't the best way to overcome this be to go back into the kitchen with me?"

"You know, your too wise." I say with a smile.

I sigh. "Yeah. all right I'll come...but you know...you don't have...to be all nice to me and everything...I mean...I'm ok"

ALEX

I grin slightly when she agrees to come along even though her last words make me pause.

"I'm a nice person in general, so I think it would be kinda difficult for me to act all cold and mean. And I'm not assuming that something is wrong with you just because you wanted to be alone for a moment."

OH ... well maybe ...

"Or maybe you still want to be alone then I'm sorry for pushing you or something."

Oh God I didn't mean it like that!
I shake my head quickly.

"No Alex I didn't mean that like that. I know your a nice person. You must be to have brought up so Seth so well and just to be so nice to everyone..."

I take a deep breathe so I don't rant on and say something stupid about him being cute as well.

"I meant...I meant you don't have to...take me on as a charity case or something...pity me...."

ALEX

I blink at Isabel's words. Charity case? What the ...?

"I'm sorry if it appeared like I was treating you like a charity case. That certainly wasn't my attention."

I say, feeling kinda lost. I really didn't mean that. Maybe my co-workers were right and I really should go out on dates again when I can't even manage a normal conversation with a woman anymore.

"And I certainly don't pity you! Why would I do that?"

~~~~~ISABEL~~~~~
"I'm sorry if it appeared like I was treating you like a charity case. That certainly wasn't my attention. And I certainly don't pity you! Why would I do that?"

I look at him in alarm. Oh God Isabel WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!

"I...I...Can we forget this bit of the conversation and rewind to the part where you said "lets go into the kitchen" and I said "Sure" and thats it?" I ask hopefully.

ALEX

"Sure." I agree with a slight frown. Six years ago, women weren't that confusing! At least Abby wasn't but then again, Abby was perfect.

Holding the watch in one hand and holding the door to Isabel's room with the other, I motion for her to go first. "After you and I really hope things won't be ... weird between us now or anything even though we are going to forget about this."

~~~~~ISABEL~~~~~
"After you and I really hope things won't be ... weird between us now or anything even though we are going to forget about this." he says motioning for me to go first.

Instead I stand there biting my lip. God great going Isabel. You meet a nice guy and you insult him!

I knew I should have stayed at work....

"I didn't mean to...insult you or anything Alex....I....I'm sorry if I did...."

ALEX

I really feel bad for making her look so sad and think that I feel insulted. So, I give her a warm smile.

"Don't worry Isabel, you didn't insult me at all. In fact, you even made a compliment and meant that I must be good at raising Seth. So, you certainly don't have to feel sorry for anything. I think more that I should feel sorry because the conversation got a bit awkward after ... my sudden change of topic earlier."

I'm not mentioning Abby but I guess she might know what i'm talking about anyway.
