"How do you know that your ... interest doesn't return the feelings?" Alex asks.
"Because I asked her," I say, simply. I hardly want to go into details but I clarify, anyway. "I asked her if she would go out with me if I weren't attached and she didn't say yes." It wasn't a surprise, either. We'd talked that first night and she was pretty obvious in the way she left me out when she'd talked about who she liked...
I sigh and shake my head as I think about what Alex said. That if I wasn't happy I couldn't make Tess happy either. That we should talk. Thing is, I'm not exactly sure what to say to her. "Maybe I'm just expecting too much. Afterall, I've only known Tess for a week. It doesn't have to be that intense right away. We're still getting to know each other, right?"

"I don't know. Isn't it normally that at the beginning, everything is perfect and extremly intense?"
Okay, so maybe this wasn't the best advice I ever gave but ... isn't that how it's supposed to be? Since I'm here my feelings about Iz have been pretty intense and if they would actually be returned, it would even be more intense, I think.
"Uhm, I still have two other questions though, Max. One, what do you mean with she didn't say yes? Did the girl say NO or something else? And ... ... it wouldn't actually be Liz who we are talking about, would it?"

"Liz?!?" I ask in amazement. "What makes you think it was Liz?" God, he got it on the first guess! How would he know that? Has she been complaining to him about me? Will she be giving him another earful tomorrow about what just happened in the hallway? I bet they were all filmed for the show, too. This is so embarassing!
I throw back the covers of my bed and quickly shove my legs underneath, pulling the blanket up without bother with changing out of my clothes. I turn my face away and tug the blanket up over my shoulder. "Just forget it, okay?" I ask.
Please let him let it drop. I don't think I want to talk about this. It's such a mess!

Wow, I didn't expect such a strong reaction from him. Does this mean I'm right or is the idea so bizarre to him?
"Just forget it, okay?"
"Uh ... well, I just asked because the first time we talked about girls, we got confused and ... well, you know what happened because of that." I say, cringing at the memory of hitting Max. "Besides, Liz was the only one here who didn't fight for your attention the first night, so it would be easy to assume she's not interested and ... well ... uh ... Good night."

OOC -- sure, I'm fine with skipping ahead.
Just wondering if we could get a new Tess. It's been over six months since Morepheus awakened has posted on RF and it would really help if there was someone playing her when/if Max breaks up with her.
We haven't seen Maria in even longer. Seven months. Is Baby_bre still part of this RP at all?

"Good night, Alex," I say, my voice a bit friendlier than a moment before. I don't want to be mean to him, I just don't know how to answer. I'm glad Alex has dropped the conversation for now, but I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. I have a feeling he'll be asking me more again ... especially if he talks to Liz.
His words seem to be stuck in my head. "... Liz was the only one here who didn't fight for your attention the first night, so it would be easy to assume she's not interested ..."
Yeah. Easy to assume and you'd be right. I wish Kels had been right and that she really did like me, but clearly she was mistaken. Liz is going to be my friend and nothing more. I slow my breathing, trying to relax. It's not going to be easy. I guess I just have to take it one day at a time ... and hope I can be enough of a friend to make her more comfortable here. Last thing I want is for her to decide she needs to leave the show early ...

Any idea who might be willing to play Tess? I'll talk to Bre later if she comes on online and see what's going on with Maria.

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! Damnit, I sometimes really hate it when I'm right. It's 6am on friggin' Sunday morning. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep well, let alone for very long. Sitting up in bed, I automatically glance at the wall that seperates this room from the girls' room before getting up with a sigh. I won't be able to fall asleep anyway.
Quietly, I walk into the bathroom, not wanting to wake Max. After brushing my teeth (I'll shower when Max is up) I walk downstairs (again quietly so I won't wake anyone, the people here can be really sensitive/touchy) and turn on the coffee machine. Leaning on the counter, my fingers are drumming a merry beat on my thigh for a moment, thinking about what to do next.
Making a decision, I quickly move to get the newspaper which thankfully is already here and then pour myself some coffee and sit down at the table. At 6:15 am on a Sunday morning! I'm supposed to be asleep right now or coming home after a night of being out with my friends instead of acting like a guy in his thirties who gets ready for work.
And it's all Isabel's fault! Okay, so it is not. It is not her doing that I ... that I won't be thinking about her right now and instead will concentrate on the glorious things my government is doing right now or on the latest gossip from Hollywood.
Maybe someone else will be up soon too ... or at least when I'm finished with reading.
okay, didn't turn out as perfect as I hoped it would
if I was wrong to assume that we jump ahead to the next day, then please correct me and I'll change/edit my post
