"Kai, Max. What took you guys so long?"

The two young men in question glanced in the direction of the voice. Their gazes met impatient navy eyes. Max grinned." Sorry Tyson, I guess we both figured you would be late as usual so we came a little later." The two couldn't help but smirk at the glare they recieved. " Haha, very funny. Aren't you a regular comedian." Max nodded as he sat down, Kai sat on the end near the window. Max didn't blame him, the veiw was breathtaking. He took a moment to glance out the window as the other tow engaged in idle chit chat.

Sparkling blue waves that broke on a slightly deserted beach greeted him, the sea gulls were calling to each other as they soared and dived in the air.

" Max, Max are you listening?"

Max glanced back at his companions, a slight blush colouring his cheeks as they grinned." Sorry, I was looking at the sea." Kai nodded, still smirking and Tyson chuckled." Well we need to order." Max nodded and glanced at the menu." One sparkling water and a chicken fillet with rice please." He smiled at the waitress as she wrote his orders. Tyson glanced to Kai." I'll have the seafood and rice and a grapetiser, white not red." Tyson gave the waitress a smile." And I will have the steak and ribs combo with the chips and a side order of rice and the tropical fruit smoothie." Kai and Max rolled their eyes as Tyson handed the menu's back. He looked to the two after the waitress had left." What."

"So Max, how is the new house coming?"

Max looked at Tyson, then glanced at Kai. He raised an eyebrow in mutual query. Max grinned." Vey well actually. They have finished the building and such, I've hired an interior designer to do the setting up." Kai nodded as Tyson frowned." Is this person any good?" Max nodded." Yes, he did my mom's lounge. She recommended him, she said he is an artist as well, and some other things. I wasn't really listening to all she said." Tyson nodded as Kai chuckled." So when are you going to meet him?" Max shrugged." He's coming to my office tomorrow afternoon." Kai frowned." But don't you have an appointment then." Max nodded. " I know, but I haven't been able to contact him to re-schedule, I was actually hoping you guys would meet him and find out what he thinks. That is to say if you are free tomorrow afternoon and can take him to the house." The other two nodded slowly.

Kai took out his cell phone and checked his schedule while Tyson took out his palm computer and checked his calender. Tyson was the first to answer." No classes tomorrow, I forgot that Mr Herly cancelled because his wife will be going in tomorrow." Max grinned then glanced at Kai, unlike Tyson Kai knew what questions to ask and what to look for. Kai closed his cell phone and put it back in it's pouch." I'm free as well. I have a meeting before but it will be finished in time." Max grinned." Thanks, I owe you one." They both shook their heads.

All three looked at Kai as his pager went off, he checked it then sighed in frustration." I swear you can't leave her for one hour without her tripping up." Tyson grinned." New secretary." Kai growled again then gave each a nod goodbye before he left. "Max, what's this guy like?" Max grinned as he watched their friend drive off." A regular frecracker."

Tyson nodded.

" Good."
