Michael seems a little too comfortable in my car. I don't know what it is about him but something about him makes me a little uneasy. I'm not going to say I'm this shy prude princess who doesn't have any clue what to do or how to act around a guy because quite frankly that'd be one of the biggest lies I've ever told. I am well known among my friends for my talent in the male department, I used to be a player yes I'm serious, I was very good at playing with guys heads and getting what I wanted and getting out.
So then why does the fact that he has his arm across the back of my seat make my stomach jump? He's not even touching me and I feel nervous. I really need to start taking some chill pills or something cause this is unacceptable for me to be nervous like this. "Yeah, it was a lot of fun." I tell him flashing him my prettiest smile.

"Do we still have something planned for tonight? Or any plans for the driving to work tomorrow that still need to be cleared?" Kyle asks.
“Um, you know what, I don’t know. I’m sure we can find something to do.” I answer over my shoulder. “I guess we’ll have to figure out car arrangements for tomorrow when we get back. Or maybe tomorrow morning before we leave we can do it. Hopefully now that we’re getting to know each other better, it shouldn’t be that big of a problem.”
Max speaks up about 30 seconds later. “Maybe, we could stop somewhere and rent some movies? Do you think everyone would be up for something like that? I know I could go for something a little more mellow to wind down after our um, eventful time at the beach.”

Ice cream and chocolate sound like heaven to me at this precise moment. I really don’t want to be one of those stereotype women that gorge themselves on chocolate and ice cream after they discover that all men are jerks but I would happily walk through fire for some chocolate right now.
And maybe even a weepy movie or two.
Ugh, I’m so pathetic.
And angry!
At Jake but most of all myself. How could I have been so blind? I should have known that he was married, there must have been some sort of sign that I missed. Ugh and to think I thought that maybe he could be the one. Men, why are they such jerks? Why isn’t one woman enough? Why do they have to play around on the side? It makes me sick to think that while he was kissing and romancing me, his wife was at home with their child.
I’m tempted to ask Alex what the hell goes on inside a guys head but decide against it. There is no point in arguing with Whitman, it wouldn’t be fair of me to take all my angry out on a helpless bystander, especially when he is being so nice to me.
Still, as of this moment I’m swearing of men and this isn’t one of those pathetic vows that won’t last longer then a week. Nope, I have willpower and when Isabel Anderson vows to do something she will do it.
“Daddy was right’ I mumble to myself, he told me that all men were after one thing and he was right. I should have listened to him.
“What?” Alex asks as he parks the car outside of the store.
“Nothing,” I say quickly. Great now I’m talking to myself. I’m heading beyond pathetic and straight to loser Ville. Ugh.
“Are you okay?” he asks, concern and pity clearly written on his face.
“I’m amazing,” I state, lifting my chin up slightly. I try to smile but can’t seem to get my lips to move. God, I can’t stand to be pitied. “I just really need some chocolate.”
I get out of the car and head into the store with Liz walking beside me and Alex trailing behind us.
“So what do you fancy?” Liz asks as we stand in front of the wide chocolate selection.
“Everything!” I state “And I want every type of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream they have, oh and double chocolate fudge cake. I want some of that as well. And marshmallows and hell anything that has sugar in as well.”
If I’m going to stuff myself with unhealthy food then I want to make sure I do it right. I refuse to do anything by half. I reach into my purse and pull out one of my many credit cards.
“Its my treat,” I say, flashing them the Gold card. Already starting to feel a little bit better. There’s just something about spending money that makes me feel good. Maybe tomorrow I should buy myself some new shoes or maybe even a puppy.
At least with a puppy I know it would love me for me and not my money or fabulous good looks. And at least I know a puppy would never lie to me.
Then again neither would a new pair of shoes and they would make me look even better.
Choices, choices, choices!
I grab another couple bars of snickers and look to see what Liz and Alex are getting.

thank god for my sleeping troubles and brothers who are out of town 
KYLE
"Movies sounds great." I tell Max. "Just not Battlefield Earth. Liz and I fell asleep watching it and I'm not really sure if Alex managed to watch the whole thing."
"What about Romeo&Juliet?" Tess asks then.
"Oh no!" I immediately say, hoping that she is just kidding. "Not such a girly flick with Leo ... besides, everyone knows the ending! How about Kill Bill?"
"Oh no!" Tess mimicks me in a fake deep voice. "That's a boring fighting movie! If you want blood and murder, then we can watch R&J. People die there too."
"It is hard to concentrate on a movie when girls are constantly giggling when a so called good looking guy appears on the screen." I reply.
"Yeah, like it is great when guys are totally amazed by the number of killings and special effects." Tess shots back.
"How about some comedy that isn't too romantic?" Max suggest then before an open war between Tess and me can start.
ALEX
Women! One moment, they are on the verge of crying and when you hint shopping, they are feeling one hundred times better! Weird! Almost as weird as men still liking them even though they have such unlogical habits and emotions.
But at least Isabel seems to be doing better again and that's all that counts.
"So, I guess we don't have a limit on how much we want to buy and can get the others something too?" I ask when Isabel waves the G-card.
"Yeah, I guess we can get them something too ... if they have enough here, that is." she adds while looking around critically.
"Just for the record, chocolate and nougat ice cream belong only to me." I say and want to go over to the freezers when Isabel folds her arms and stands straight.
"Says who?"
"Moi!"
"I pay, so I decide if I let you have some chocolate or nougat ice cream." Isabel states with a slight smirk as if to dare me to disagree.
I narrow my eyes a bit, totally unsure on staying by my decision or letting her have the chocolate and nougat. BUt it's chocolate and nougat ... they are to die for.
"I let you have the chocolate and I get the nougat, that's my only offer."
"Dream on."
"Oh, come on, Isabel. You are just teasing me! I'm sure that you'd prefer vanilla, caramel and pistacie way more! Not to forget the different marshmellows, snickers and the Godiva chocolate!"
"For a guy, you know a lot about chocolate." Liz muses. She was obviously listening to us.
"Chocolate and guys don't mix?" I ask amused, shocked when both girls immediately say "Yes!"
"Therefor, it is out of the question, nougat and chocolate ice cream belongs to me!" Isabel states triumphantly before heading towards the ice cream section.
"Vanilla and caramel is mine!" Liz adds laughing before following Isabel, leaving me to stand there and wonder when exactly I made a mistake in this conversation.

Seeing that Isabel and Alex are being too cute, I had to hurry and put something in here to give them some space to fill with just the two of them being cute. 
<center>~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ Liz ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~</center>
Isabel and I walk through the store and head to the line for check out. Seeing as how Isabel and Alex seem to be getting along, I make a quick decision to give them a few minutes alone. Enough time, I hope, for Alex to maximize his charm, and not enough time for him to end up with his foot in his mouth.
“Oh!” I say as I grab Isabel’s hand to stop her. Once I realized what I had done, I let go of her hand just as casually. I’m partially startled by my action. I didn’t intend to actually touch her. It just happened. I hope that she doesn’t mind too much. “There’s something I want to get. You two get in line. If I’m not back in time, just get everything and I’ll meet you back at the car.”
I take a few steps away and head towards the refrigerated section when I hear Isabel call out to me, “What are you getting?”
I turn to her with a smile, “It’s a surprise. Just go on some roommate good faith.” I wink at them both, Alex for the Isabel-alone-time and Isabel for the whole “just trust me” thing.
I head down the aisles as I make my way to the refrigerated section. “Cookie dough,” I repeatedly mutter to myself quietly as I look for the cookie dough. I don’t know Isabel that well, but I’m hoping that she likes chocolate chip cookies. I’d have preferred to had made them from scratch, but I don’t have the time to go through and get every ingredient. I pick up one roll of regular chocolate chip cookie dough and one with mini m&ms instead of chocolate chips.
I slowly make my way back to the checkout and get in line. This is something I’m doing for Isabel. It’s not much, but hopefully she’ll like the gesture. Besides, what could I get her that she couldn’t already get for herself? The entire time that I’m getting this for Isabel, my thoughts keep returning to Alex.
Please, Alex. Please don’t mess this up for yourself.
As I walk through the doors, cookie dough well hidden in the paper bag I requested, I head over to the car where Alex and Isabel are talking. Talking. That’s good. Isabel’s smiling! That’s good too.
“Hey,” Alex greets with a smile, his hands absently tossing the keys from one hand to the other.
“What’s that?” Isabel asks me, peering at the bag in my hands.
“You’ll find out later,” I tell her with a smile. “It’s a surprise. And no peeking!”
I hear Alex laugh as he walks to the driver’s side of the car.
“Did you want shotgun, Isabel?” I wait for her response. I hope that she’ll say she does. It’s like a little test to see how well Alex did. I find myself hoping to myself that she takes the offer in the space between my question and her answer.

"How about some comedy that isn't too romantic?" Max interjects before I have a chance to clobber Kyle for dissing my Romeo and Juliet movie.
“Hmmm… okay, how about ‘Kate and Leopold’?” I say with a smile. Just thinking about Hugh Jackman makes me want to smile.
“Wait, isn’t that movie with Hugh, what’s-his-name, Hugh Grant?” Kyle says, scratching his head in confusion.
“That’s Hugh Jackman, Valenti, get it straight.” I reply indignantly. Dude, how can anyone confuse those two guys? I mean, hellooo.
“Oh yeah, now I remember that movie. So um, no.”
I totally roll my eyes at Kyle. Men.
“Uh, how about we get one romantic comedy for the ladies,” Max says, looking over at me and smiling before turning his eyes back to the road and continuing, “and one normal slapstick-type comedy for the guys?”
I reply before Kyle can get a word in edgewise, “Oh, good plan! Okay, speaking for us women of the house, I choose ‘French Kiss’. You gotta love that movie. Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan are so funny and cute together, and I love all the French that he spoke.”
“No no no, it’s not Luke, it’s Luc. Lee-yook.” Kyle mimics Kevin Kline’s character Luc Tessier but I get the feeling he’s mocking it more than he is reciting it.
“Ha ha very funny. Well that just shows that you liked it enough to remember a line, so there hah.” He’s trying to get me all riled up, I can feel it. Well it ain’t gonna happen, Valenti. I can definitely hold my own when it comes to outwitting the opposite sex.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. An old gir... a friend made me watch it. Anyway, Max, do you want to choose for the men, or shall I do the honors?” Kyle asks as we pull into the Blockbuster that Max had spotted at the previous intersection.

"You can chose, I don't care that much what we watch." Max replies.
Hm, okay, something for us guys with a bit romance. "Braveheart." I say, I'm sure that will work out fine, there are even some sex scenes, so the girls should be fine with it.
"Braveheart? Isn't that a bit ... old?" Max asks. Yeah right, you don't care what movie we watch!
"X-Men? It even has the guy that Tess dreams about." I say with a shrug.
"Hey, I never said I dream about Hugh!" Tess exclaims.
"Then who do you dream about?" I challenge her.
Please don't say Max. Please don't say Max!
not sure what to post for ALex right now and Max not liking Braveheart could be something else that annoys Michael

I can't believe Kyle is suggesting Braveheart. "How about 'The Aviator.' There's an action movie with sex that was made in this century, anyway," I suggest, but Kyle ignores me. Instead, he goes on teasing Tess about Hugh What's-his-name.
"Then who do you dream about?" he demands. I have to say, the question makes me curious, too, so I wait to see what she says.

great post, Isabelle
ALEX
God bless Liz. And all the others who are willing to spend their precious time helping me to get brownie points with Isabel. Brownie points, that's fitting! I mean, we were talking about chocolate and sweets earlier and brownies are ... well, anyway ...
After Liz left Isabel and me so sudden, it was a bit awkward at first, both of us not really knowing what to talk about. But then I asked if she was getting Liz something for her birthday and told her about the plan of having a nice dinner and going to a club on Liz's birthday as something as a little group surprise.
Isabel immediately got into planning mood, with deciding to when go shopping for Liz's birthday, what kind of shops she'd visit, what to wear on Friday for the party and so on.
Isn't she amazing?
I think I might get her to help me find a gift for Liz since I'm still clueless about what to get her. After all, I managed that Isabel will let me have my chocolate and nougat ice cream. God bless my puppy dog eyes!
Luckily, we spot Liz before she can hear that we are partly talking about her and quickly shift our conversation to small talk. Yes, ladies and gentleman, I, Alex Whitman, am able to have a normal conversation with Isabel Anderson.
Something I wouldn't have believed possible 24 hours ago.
I can't help but laugh at Liz's mysterious antics about what she's hiding in her bag and when she asks Isabel if she wants to ride shotgun with a wink in my direction, I could kiss the girl. Well, that is if it weren't that weird to kiss Liz since she's like a little sister.

I nod as Maria agrees with me, turning to look at her sun-kissed face.
"I especially liked the splashing in the ocean. You gotta lotta spunk," I grin at her. In our hurry to leave she has only a wrap around her hips and nothing covering the top of her bikini.
"You really look great. You know that?" Damn, of course she knows that! "That suit is a great color for you."
