polite to ask.
Author's Notes: This was written for the crazy challenge were the
weirdest couples get together. The weirder, the better
Liz giggled as the man who occupied her heart kissed her good night. After he
left, Liz took out her journal and began to write about her wonderful
day.
"Liz," an urgent stage whisper reached her from the street
below.
Liz leaned over the balcony and saw Max looking up to her from the
street below.
"Max," she said surprised. "What are you doing
here?"
Without waiting to be invited, Max climbed the ladder up to her.
"I had to get out of my house. Michael and Isabel are driving me
crazy."
"What are they doing?"
A pained look fell across Max's
face. "I don't want to know. Isabel *is* my sister, after all. All I know is
that they've been locked in Isabel's room for hours. I've heard banging and a
lot of giggling. Needless to say, I couldn't stay at my house listening to that
any longer."
Liz's jaw dropped. "Isabel and Michael?" she asked,
dumbfounded. "I didn't know they were . . . "
"Neither did I," Max
admitted. "So what have you been up to?"
"Nothing," Liz said very
quickly.
Max looked at her suspiciously. "I thought you and Maria were
going to a movie."
"Oh yeah," Liz said. "Yeah, we went to a
movie."
"What movie?" Max asked.
"What is this, the Spanish
Inquisition?" Liz demanded.
Max looked baffled. "I just wanted to know
what movie you saw."
"Well maybe it's none of your business," Liz
snapped.
"Fine," Max said angrily. Now he looked hurt. "Maybe I should
go."
"Maybe you should," Liz agreed.
Max left and Liz opened up
her diary again. "I hope he doesn't suspect anything," she said to herself.
"Do you think we should talk?" Maria asked between hot and furious
kisses.
"Talk?" Alex took his lips off of Maria long enough to ask. "Talk
about what?"
"I don't know. Stuff."
"No."
"No?" Maria
shrieked. She pulled away from Alex's embrace and hit him.
"You're just
like Michael. You just want a physical relationship, not an emotional
one."
"That's not true," Alex said, trying to smooth things over. "If I
wanted a physical one, I wouldn't be going out with you." He leaned in to kiss
her again.
Instead Maria slapped him. "Bastard! What did you mean by
that? Do you think I'm ugly?"
Realizing he had said a very stupid thing,
Alex tried to convince Maria that wasn't what he meant. "I don't think you're
ugly. I think you're beautiful. I think you're gorgeous. I simply meant that I
would never go out with someone as wonderful as you if I just wanted sex. You're
too perfect for me not to want to have an emotional relationship
with."
Maria melted at his words. "Do you really mean it?"
"Of
course," Alex murmured. He started to kiss Maria again and this time she let
him.
"Do you think I'm prettier than Isabel Evans?"
"Of course,"
Alex answered, but it was too late. He had hesitated for a fraction of a second.
Maria, of course, had noticed this.
"Asshole!" she yelled. She slapped
him again and stormed off.
Alex was left behind wondering how he had
managed to mess up so badly in so short a time.
"Women," he snorted
derisively.
After Maria stormed away from Alex she wandered around Roswell, not caring
that it was after curfew and she could get in trouble for being out.
She
was walking very fast, hoping it would keep her from crying. It wasn't working
too well. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.
The last person she
expected to run into was Max Evans. She literally ran into him, too. She turned
around a corner and hit him straight on. They both fell to the
ground.
"Maria?" Max asked, sounding astounded when he recognized the
person who had knocked him over.
"Max?" Maria asked, just as
surprised.
Then together they said, "What are you doing
here?"
"Are you crying?" Max asked, noticing her tears.
Maria
nodded miserably.
"Then you heard about Michael and Izzy," Max
concluded.
"I heard what about them?" Maria asked
suspiciously.
Max looked like a deer caught in headlights. "Nothing," he
quickly said.
"No, what about Michael and Isabel."
Max winced.
"They're kind of a . . . thing."
"A thing?" Maria asked.
"Well,
they're sleeping together. I'm sorry, I shouldn't've mentioned it. I thought you
knew."
"It's okay," Maria said shrugging.
Max stared at her,
shocked at her indifference. "You're not upset?"
"No, why should I
be?"
"Because you and Michael and madly in love with each
other."
"Where'd you get that idea?" Maria asked puzzled at why Max would
think that.
He stared at her oddly again. Then he shook his head. "Never
mind. Why were you crying then?"
Maria sniffed. "Because Alex thinks
Isabel is prettier than I am," she wailed.
"Why should you care about
what Alex thinks?" Max wanted to know.
"Because," Maria started, a dreamy
look in her eyes, "Alex is the most wonderful person you have ever seen. He's
handsome and smart and oh-so sexy."
Max winced at the mental image. "Not
that I disagree, but what brought this on? I though you and Alex were just
friends."
Maria shrugged. "I don't know," she said. "I just suddenly
realized that he was so . . . perfect. And dreamy. And sexy. And - "
Max
cut her off before she could continue. "I get the picture. Now come on, I need
to get you home. It's past curfew and we could get in trouble if we're
caught."
Maria frowned slightly. "It is, isn't it. Then what are you
doing out?"
Max rolled his eyes. "You know what I said about Michael and
Isabel?"
Maria was confused. "That they're a thing?"
Max nodded.
"Well, they're kinda over at my house right now, and they aren't exactly being
quiet."
"Oh," Maria said, enlightenment dawning on her. She blushed.
"What about your parents?"
"They're out at dinner with some clients. They
won't be back till late."
"So why are you just wandering around? Why
didn't you go to Liz's or something?" Maria asked.
"I did. She was acting
rather weird. Is there something going on with her that I don't know
about?"
Maria frowned. "With Liz? No. She's fine."
"She's not
like, mad at me about something?" Max asked.
Maria laughed. "Don't worry,
Max, Liz isn't mad at you. She's completely into you. She hasn't even glanced at
another guy in months."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive," Maria
reassured him Max was so cute when he was worrying about Liz, Maria
thought.
Soon they reached Maria's house. "Here we are," Max said. He
walked her up to the front door.
"Thanks for walking me home," Maria
said, smiling shyly.
"You're welcome," Max said. They gazed into each
other's eyes for a minute until Max suddenly turned his head. "I better go," he
muttered, not meeting Maria's eyes.
Maria found herself blushing
slightly. She didn't know what had gotten into her. She had been so close to
kissing Max. She had almost kissed her best friend's boyfriend. That was
definitely bad.
Isabel heard a car pull into her driveway. "Damn," she swore. "My parents are
home. You gotta get outta here," she told Michael.
Michael looked faintly
hurt. "Why?" he asked. "I'm over here all the time."
"And they think it's
to visit Max. If they catch us in here, alone, I'm going to be grounded for the
rest of my life!"
Michael just moved in and kissed Isabel again. "They're
not going to catch us."
Isabel pushed Michael off of her and onto the
floor. "You don't understand. If you stay here, they will catch us." She grabbed
a robe and pulled it around her.
"We can just get dressed and pretend we
were watching tv," Michael suggested.
"No," Isabel said. "You don't
understand. You haven't been allowed in my room since we turned thirteen unless
someone else was here." She threw Michael his pants. "Now get dressed and get
out."
Giving Isabel a wounded look, Michael put on his clothes. He gave
her one last kiss then slipped out the window.
Isabel quickly pulled some
clothes on herself and went out to greet her parents. "Hey," she
said.
"Hi Isabel."
Her mom looked around. "Is Max already in bed?"
she asked.
Isabel glanced over to her brother's room. She hadn't heard
him in hours. "I think so," she said.
"Actually," Isabel said. "I just
remembered there's something I forgot to do. I'll be back soon." She left,
practically running out the door, before her parents could protest.
She
took the jeep and quickly overtook Michael. "Hey," she said, as she pulled up to
the side of the road. "Need a ride?" She flashed him a winning smile.
He
gave her crooked half grin in return and climbed in beside her. "Hank's not
around," he whispered in her ear.
Isabel's grin widened. "You read my
mind." She shifted into drive and head for Michael's place.
The End
