Isabel

“So this is it then!” Jake says as he walks me to the door

I nod before asking “Do you want to come in for Coffee?”

“Coffee?” Jake raises an eyebrow and smirks at me

“Just coffee!” I state rolling my eyes.

“Will your housemates still be up?” he asks

“I guess” I shrug,

“I don’t think Alec likes me very much!” Jake says grinning “I think he might be jealous!”

“Pfft Alex is just weird” I state not mentioning that he got the name wrong because duh he is a guy and I really don’t want to be talking about Alex right at this moment, there’s just something about him that unnerves me.

“I think I’ll give it a miss!” Jake says taking my hands in his “What are you doing tomorrow?”

I pout in disappointment “I’m busy tomorrow. I’m going shopping with Maria.”

“Wednesday?”

I shake my head, I don’t want to appear too interested “I’m busy. Thursday? ”

“I have a late meeting.” he looks down at his watch “I really should get going.”

“No coffee?”

“Next time sweetness” I smirks before kissing me hard on the lips “Next time I promise.”

“Bye then!” I frown, this isn’t the normal way my dates end with the dude rushing off, normally I have to get daddy to get rid of them.

I wait until his car disappears before going into the house.

okay, here it goes:


Alex

I can't believe it! It's just past midnight and Kyle and Liz fell asleep watching a movie. Okay, "Battlefield Earth" is one hell of a boring movie but ... aren't we supposed to be young, to stay up late, have fun and drink?

Well, lets better forget about the drinking stuff before my head starts to ring again. Let me tell you, I so intent to not drink anymore within the next three weeks. After three weeks, I might be able to without getting sick when smelling alcohol.

I better leave Kyle and liz before I disturb their sleep and walk to my room or into the kitchen. It was surprisingly a funny evening, we three get along quite well but I fear Kyle and my stupid antics and jokes let Liz doubt our sanity. But it was fun, that's all that counts!

Of course, Liz wants me to apologize to Max. WHY? I mean, she likes the
guy and knows that he's flirting or playing "big brother" with the other girls and yet, she wants me to apologize. As if it didn't hurt her that he is going out with Tess tonight.

Hey! I don't have a problem with Tess. I don't know her long enough to have problems with her but on the other hand, the same counts for Max, who I hit this morning. Hit! Me! I'm never someone who is hitting others when angry or in my case frustrated, I'm always the one who gets hit but I guess that's what alcohol does to you. Especially mixed with the painkillers I took. I should have known not to take something against my headache when drinking.

Guess I have to apologise to him and hope he doesn't hold a grudge, huh? I really don't want to start so bad with the others, lord knows what Isabel thinks of me. Does she have to be so beautiful? shouldn't it be against the law to be looking the way she does?

anyway, I'm getting off topic again ... how to apologise? I can't just go and say "Hey Max, sorry about earlier but I was so frustrated how all the girls, especially Isabel, are hitting on you and not me and you helping Isabel with her *snort* date." nope, not gonna work I fear ... besides I'm not the kind of guy who needs every girl's attention. Isabel's would be more than enough.

Guess, you already realized that I'm starting to get pathetic when thinking of her, huh? yes? that's what I was afraid of. I so suck!

And I could swear that Michael winked at me when he saw Max's bruise. I wonder what's ...


oh! someone's coming! maybe it's Max and Tess. I should probably immediately explain myself to Max while Kyle and Liz are asleep and Tess is in the bathroom getting rid of make up or so. But how do I explain myself without making a complete fool out of myself? I mean, more than I already did? Think Alex, think, think, think!
uh,oh, they are already at the door, okay two seconds before Max comes in, the best thing to do would be ... OH!

"Hey." I state nervously when Isabel comes through the door.

ISABEL! Why now? I thought it would be Max. Now, I'm so not prepared for dealing with her while we are all alone. Kyle and Liz are asleep so they don't count as being here.

And God, what lame greeting is "Hey" anyway? I hope she isn't just leaving the room without saying a word.

Isabel

"Hey" Alex says

"Oh, its you" I say glaring at Alex, if he thinks I forgotten what he said to Jake then he has got another thing coming.

"Um, I was just going to bed" Alex says gesturing towards the stairs

"Well that's great, just make sure its actually your bed you end up in tonight and not mine again!" I state causing Alex to blush slightly.

"Yeah about that....." Alex starts but I cut him off

"Please let me finish. I want to have a little talk with you." I state pushing him towards the living room

"Kyle and Liz are asleep in there" Alex says not moving into the room

I raise an eyebrow "Fine, kitchen it is then buddy"

"So, um what do you want to talk about then Isabel?" Alex asks, standing awkwardly in the kitchen, I don't move away from the door in case he tries to escape.

"Well first of all there's the whole embarrassing me in front of my date tonight? What the hell was that all about? You're not getting anywhere with Maria so you have to ruin everyone else chances?" I glare at him, placing my hands on my hips "Come on fess up? What was going on in that mentally unstable head of yours?

~~~~~~~

M'kay then that sucked but I really just wanted to post something.

great new part, Ruby! :D
hope you don't mind what I came up with and let Isabel say





Alex


"So, um whad do you want to talk about then Isabel?" I ask, watching her as she stands in the door as if to make sure that no one interupts us.

Kinda amazing how someone can look so scary and yet sexy.

God, I'm such a pig!

"Well first of all there's the whole embarrassing me in front of my date tonight? What the hell was that all about? You're not getting anywhere with Maria so you have to ruin everyone else chances? Come on fess up? What was going on in that mentally unstable head of yours?"

Did I say sexy? well, right now, she's only scaring me and ... confusing me

I probably apologize, no matter how much I dislike talking about her date, it's bad enough that I created such a mess with Max, adding Isabel of all the people to the "People who hate me" list might not be a good idea.

"okay, okay" I say, lifting my hands in surrender, hoping that she isn't thinking I want to attack her. "I swear that I didn't mean to embarrass you, really, that wasn't my intention. I meant it as a joke and I'm sorry that it didn't turn out as one. I didn't mean to embarrass you in front of Jack."

"Jake." Isabel replies.

"Huh?" I ask.

"His name is JAKE, not Jack." Isabel explains to me acting as if she's talking to a three year old.

Jack, Jake, Jackass ... whatever, it's all the same in my opinion.

"Anyway, if there's any way of making the earlier faux-pas up to you ..." I start but am interupted by her again.

"I doubt it but you could do me a favour and stay away from me especially when Jake is around." Isabel tells me in an annoyed voice.

And staying away from her. Ouch! Ouch! An universe of ouch!

"Yeah, I'll do my best." I sigh rejectedly. Who am I kidding anyway? A babe like her liking a loser like me? Dream on Whitman! but what the hell did she mean with ...

"Isabel?" I call after her, hoping not to wake Kyle and Liz.

"WHat?" she asks with barely contained frustration.

"What did you mean with me not getting anywhere with maria?" what's up with that again?

"Oh please, Max and me, probably some of the others too, know that you have the hots for her. You really aren't good at masking your interest." she explains.

Me and Maria? maria and me? not good at masking my interests ... if Isabel only knew, well she'd run away screaming if she knew but still ... Maria and Me?

I can't help but laugh out loud. This has to be the funniest thing I've heard since I moved in. Maria is hot and all but ... not The One.

I better stop laughing, since Isabel is tapping her foot on the floor impatiently. "Care to explain this? Have you turned totally insane now?"

Hey Everyone!

I love the Alex/Isabel posts. I'm gonna let you play that out a bit before Max gets back with Tess. :D (btw - I'm assuming that last line was Alex addressing Isabel?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


*MICHAEL*

What a waste. We've been here all night and there's no sign of Candy. I guess I could try again tomorrow night. Although I did have a nice time with that red-head in the silver dress. Man was she hot! And she seemed to really dig me, too. At least until she got annoyed at my for refusing to dance with her. But what else could I do? If I'd gone out on the floor with her, she'd have dumped me even sooner.

I growl deep in my throat and drain my drink. I take another look around the bar while I think about ordering another. It's not that late. Only just past midnight, but the place seems to be quieting down a little. At least, a lot of the cute girls have left already. Maybe they all have to get to work.
Maria's over there sitting at a little table staring at the dance floor while sucking down her own drink. I wonder if I should go over there for a while.

Maria's been pretty strange. I don't know why I can't get a handle on her. One minute she's acting interested, like we're on a date or something. But when I start to turn on the charm, she goes cold and starts snapping at me.

I swear, she's gotta be nuts.

Any sane girl would sell their daddy's Porche to be with me. Maria won't even let anyone touch her stupid Jetta. Not that the other girls at the house seem to be any saner.

Ah, what the hell.

I get up and wander over to Maria, hoping she's a little less drunk than she was last night.

"Hey, babe. How's everything?" I ask as I turn the chair around and straddle it. "You need another drink?"

Great part Sternbetrachter!

Isabel

I feel my mouth drop open, did he just call me insane? "Look here buddy, I'm not the one laughing like a mad man and something that isn't even funny so don't you call me insane cause you do know what they say about throwing rocks when you live in a glass house" I pause at the blank look on Alex's face, damn I've never been good at remembering sayings and stuff "What the hell are you laughing at?"

"You thought that I liked Maria. Wanna share how you came to this interesting conclusion?"

"Well duh, you punched Max, which by the way we will talk about in a minute, in the face because he was flirting with Maria. I guessed you had to be interested in one of the two so I guessed Maria but clearly its Max, you want" I grin when Alex starts to choke on his laughter, ha one point to Anderson none to Whitless Whitman.

very very good new parts, isabelle, Ruby! :D

Alex

She thinks I like Max because she believes I'm gay? Can my first week in this house be any worse? Or my first three days around this goddess. I hope not.

"Is it like an unspoken rule that everyone believes that computer geeks are automatically gay?" I sigh in frustration. "Forget what I just said." I tell Isabel when she looks at me confused.

"Okay, first of all I'm NOT gay. I have no problems with gay men but I'm not one of them. Secondly, I didn't mean it literally when I asked if you are insane, it was just a phrase. I'm sorry if you got that the wrong way."

God, she constantly seems to misunderstand me.

"And about me hitting Max ... that's extremly complicated and I'll talk about it with Max as soon as possible since some things are clearer now." If Max thought I like Maria then it's no wonder that he didn't think anything about helping Isabel and her "date". Damn, I'm such an idiot!

I attempt to move out of the kitchen but Isabel is still blocking the way, not letting me pass.
Taking a step forward, so she is merely two feet away she says, "What? You don't think this talk is over yet?"

*MAX*

I'm having a really great time with Tess. She's fun to be with. I really like the way she smiles. She seems to think everything I say is very interesting. We had a great discussion about the movie over some coffee and ice-cream. I have to say, she's a really great girl. I'm looking forward to hanging out with her some more.

So far, "hanging out" is really the best description I have for being with her. I don't really feel that "falling in love" spark yet, but I truly am enjoying her company. She has a great wild-streak that's just enough to get me out of my dependable rut. And she really makes me smile. This just might work out.

She laughing over something I said and her eyes are sparkling as she spoons her last bite of ice-cream into her mouth.

"You really have pretty eyes," I tell her. And she does.

"Well, thanks, Max," she says, giggling. "You're not so bad yourself."

I can feel myself blushing at that. I never was any good at taking a compliment. Seeing my discomfort, Tess giggles even more.

I glance at the clock on the wall and frown. It's really getting late. We should both get back to the house. Between Alex and Maria getting drunk, I was up until after two last night and I had promised myself that I'd be in bed earlier today. Afterall, we do still have to work again tomorrow.

"I guess we should be getting back to the house," I suggest. I want to be in bed, but I'm really not looking forward to seeing the others. Finding out whether Liz chose Alex or Kyle. Even just seeing Alex again. I wonder if I could change room-mates. Not Michael, but Kyle would probably be good.

"Okay," Tess smiles.

I put some money on the table, then get up and take her hand. She stands and we head outside to the street to find my newly leased jeep.

Great part, Sternbetrachter!!!! Would you mind if I added you to my MSN messenger buddy list?

Isabel

"What? You don't think this talk is over yet?" I ask raising an eyebrow as Alex moves towards me and the door I'm blocking.

"Surely you can't have anymore to say!" Alex sighs, running his hand through his hair. "What else could I have done wrong?"

"Pfft, there are so many different answers to that that its just not funny! I mean come on your dress sense for one could do with a little or well a lot of changing!" I state, looking him up and down "And then there's the.......Hey what are you doing?" I ask as Alex starts to move closer to me

"I'm not just going to stand here and let you insult me!" he states "Move out of the way!"

Could it be that Alex actually has some balls and isn't has whitless as I thought?

"Make me!" I say glaring at him, I fold my arms across my chest and stand tall in true Queen Isabel form.

Alex rolls his eyes "Fine whatever!"

I gasp as his arms circle my waist and he lifts me off the ground, my body is pushed up against his and oh my I think he might work out a little, his scent surrounds me, he smells like soap and something else, something male in a nice way. I stand in completely shock as I watch him leave the kitchen without another word.

"Oh my God, you did not just do that!" I say chasing into the hall after him.

Awesome part Ruby! Had me laughing :)
of course you can add me to the list but *sob* for some reason my MSN doesn't really work anymore ... it's been months since I chatted :(


Alex


"And then there's the.......Hey what are you doing?"

I normally am not the kind of guy who orders women around but God, it's late, she made it clear that she hates me, so I'm not going to take it anymore. Not today! As if it isn't my problem what I wear! I like my clothes!

"I'm not just going to stand here and let you insult me!" I tell her more firmly and calmly then I thought possible. "Move out of the way!"

Please!

"Make me!" Isabel replies haughtily, crossing her arms over chest. If I weren't so tired and down, I'd probably be scared ... or drooling. Hey! She looks hot when she's angry.

Rolling my eyes, I just say, "Fine whatever!" before doing the unthinkable. I just put my arms around her and lift her up and out of the door way. Good thing that my Dad, Lt. Comm. Whitman, always forced me to take a self defence course (cause a real man has to be able to protect himself and his wife/girlfriend/friends, as he says) otherwise, it would have been embarrassing if I weren't able to lift her up without the training that actually got me two or three muscles.

Hm, she surely feels nice in my arms, her hair feels like silk where it brushes against my skin and she really smells amazing ... wonder if that's Chanel No.5 or Huge Deep Red.

Isn't it sad that I actually know the names of female parfum? I'm such a LOSER!

I quickly put her down though and leave before my actions start to think in and she overcomes her shock over what I just did.

And like I thought, three seconds later I hear her. "Oh my God, you did not just do that!" she cries as she comes after me and I'm only five meters away from haven aka my room.
