Roswell Fanatics

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
"wow...never?!? ok well i want to watch Queen of the Damned anyway so.."

I shrug. "Clearly I don't get out much" I say.
I sit back on the couch.

*TESS*

"if you just quit your job....what do you wanna do?" i turn to look at max, with a slight frown

"i mean have you got some idea on what you want to do?"

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
"No idea" I mutter. I sigh again as I watch the screen. "I was good with numbers at school...perhaps Ill see if I can get some sort of on the job accountancy training...I dunno"

*TESS*

"I was good with numbers at school...perhaps Ill see if I can get some sort of on the job accountancy training...I dunno"

"fair enough..."i nod and turn back to the movie

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
"Yeah...part from the fact it wont pay well and I wont be able to keep up payments on my apartment" I mutter.

*Maria*

Taking a deep breath my focus goes to the Predator clock on the wall above the rather tacky picture of E.T. Laughing to myself, I tuck a stray lock of her behind my ear. Boy, if those guys knew that aliens aen't really like that. They're kind, smart, and have really sexy smiles. I shake my head as if to wake myself from the little daydream I was embracing. Just five more minutes and then my shift will be over. Running over to the cash regester I try to hold back a look of disgust as I run up the Jock's check.

"So... Maria we've been here all day waiting to see what you are doing after work." The blonde jerk comments giving me a skeezy look. "Well, I'm afraid you've wasted your time, boys. First of all I've already got plans. Secondly, I don't do gang bangs thanks anyway." Handing him his change I start to move away. He grabs my arm in an attempt to stop me. Glaring at the weirdo I yank my arm out of his grasp.

"Thats not what I heard." he replies while smirking. Trying to keep myself from pumbling him I take a deep breath and step around him. "Well, you heard wrong." I snap and make my way over to Michael and Kyle. "Hey guys, I'm almost finished here. Kyle, do you want me to get you something before I change out of my uniform?" He shakes his head no ,but his eyes never leave the back of the perves head as he exits. "Okay, Michael I'm just gonna go slip into something less work related. I'll be right back."

Turning to Liz I give her my warmest smile, "So.. Thanks for taking my shift. I really appreciate it. You shouldn't have any problems with the regulars, but if you was to Jose is in the back. He's a little flirtacious ,but dependable. Just ignore him if he starts saying things in Spanish. He's either A) cussing at the fryer again. Or B) Coming on to you and Both you don't want to understand." I giggle and give her a slight wave.

Turning on my heel I head towards the back room.

*Liz*

"So... Thanks for taking my shift. I really appreciate it. You shouldn't have any problems with the regulars, but if you was to Jose is in the back. He's a little flirtatious, but dependable. Just ignore him if he starts saying things in Spanish. He's either A) cussing at the fryer again. Or B) Coming on to you and both you don't want to understand." Maria state to me before giving me a wave, I smile and watch her go in the back room to change. “I guess this is it” I said out loud before getting up.

I don’t think any of those jocks can try anything on me. First of all I wouldn’t let them. Second of all if they did, I wouldn’t let them see the light of the day.

I got up and follow Maria to the back room, “Um do I get a uniform or do I borrow yours” I ask. I don’t know what I’m suppose to do Maria didn’t tell me anything. But I guess I can follow Alex and Isabel around.

*Maria*

Making my way over to the lockers I start to undress. Liz looks a tad confused so I shoot her a 'What's wrong?' look. Yeah I know I'm talented I can ask people questions without ever having to utter a word.“Um do I get a uniform or do I borrow yours” she questions with a bit of uncertainty twinged in her voice. Slipping on my black tank top and jeans I hesitate as I put on my left combat boot.

"Hmmm." I reply as I rack my brain for an answer. "Aha!" Having both shoes on I make my way over to the closet where there are indeed two extra uniforms. "This one should fit." I assure her before grapping one of the colored hair ties from todays little demostration and pulling my hair up in a loose ponytail. She eyes me curiously at my actions. "Don't worry."

I assure her showing the color choice. "It's Green. All can be seen." I promise and the look she shoots me is none to thrilled. "Look, I know he's your brother and with your special circumstances it's hard for you to get close to people, but I really care about him. He's a really extraordinary man and I would never do anything to hurt him. I promise." Grabbing my duffle bag from out of the corner I continue, "My intentions for him are entirely honorable." My mind wanders back to that fantasy I had involving me, him, and a tabasco hot fudge sundea." Well, maybe not entirely, but pretty close." I giggle before putting my uniform and tennis shoes in the bag.

"I know there's always going to be this apprehension between us ,but I assure you I would never try to take him away from you. The question is would you try to take him away from me? I'd like to be your friend. Liz, I know what it's like to hide. I'm just now getting a glimpse of what it's like to live in the light. Whenever you think you can trust me enough to let me in just come talk to me. We are more alike then you think." I state before walking through the door leaving her to change.

When I get to Michael's Table (Yes, I have dubbed that his table) I see that him and Kyle are laughing at something. Hmmm. Are they telling stories about me perhaps? Oh Guerin don't be paranoid.

"Hi. You ready to go?" I question a little excited to go somewhere with Michael... alone... with Michael. Okay, I said that part already. Well, you get the picture.

Michael

"Okay, Michael I'm just gonna go slip into something less work related. I'll be right back." Maria says, and I look up at the clock, wondering why she's getting out so early. Once I see what time it is, I realize. We've been at the restaurant for a major part of the day and it's later than I thought. Not that I mind of course.

"Okay Maria," I say in reply, watching her as she walks away and pulls Liz with her so that Liz can get into the uniform. When they're gone, Kyle tells some joke he heard at school the other day, and I find myself laughing. He tells another one, and I'm so busy cracking up that I don't notice Maria come back until she's right in front of me.

"Hi. You ready to go?" She asks, and I look up at her. If it's even possible, she looks better than she did in her uniform, wearing a cute tank top and some combat boots that look like they would hurt if she kicked you with them. Note to self: Never, ever get on her bad side.

"Yeah, I'm ready," I say, getting up from the table. I turn back to look at Alex, who is sitting there now with Kyle.

"Hey Alex, since you're working the shift with Liz, do you think you could drive her home? I'm gonna take the car. If you need to, call my cell." With that, I smile at them before walking away. "Bye guys."

I grab Maria's arm gently and get her to follow me out of the restaurant. "Come on." As I walk by the jocks who are getting ready to leave, they shoot me a venomous look and I just grin at them.

Once we hit the air outside, I turn to Maria, the grin on my face now directed to her. "So, what do you want to do?"

Alex

"Yeah sure...I'll drop her home." I reply as Michael starts to head out of the cafe with Maria on his arm

"Well I guess I'd better get ready for my shift" I inform Kyle as I get up out of my seat and move out of the booth "Can't have people saying that I sponge of my dad all the time."

"See you later man." I wave to him before sauntering away

I head to the back of the cafe and open my locker and change my shirt with the spare one I keep for work in the locker.

Tonight I am going to have to come up with some major faking...that too at maths which I happen to be good at.But hey shouldn't be a problem,considering I have lied about who I really am to every single living being for the past 16 years.

It should be a piece of cake.
