"So, do you and Max have any big plans for Valentine's Day?" Maria Deluca asked her best friend Liz Parker as they sat on Liz's bed.
"Well," Liz began, feeling a small blush cover her cheeks. Max Evans had that effect on her, even when he wasn't around. "You know, just, a date."
"Now Liz, come on. You know I want all the details, now spill." Maria couldn't believe Liz actually just tried to get away with simply saying 'a date.' She knows better.
"Well, we're going for dinner-"
"Where?" Maria questioned, wanting to know every detail.
"We're going back to that Chinese place we went to on our first date." Liz had a bright smile on her face.
"Aww, that is so sweet. What else are you guys doing?"
"Well, Max has something special planned but won't tell me what it is." You could here the excitement in Liz's voice as she said this.
"Girl, you have got it good! Could Max be any more perfect?" Maria said, kind of jealous that her own boyfriend couldn't follow Max's lead a little.
Liz sighed contently and smiled, then dared to ask, "What are you and Michael doing?"
"Oh you know, probably just hanging out, watching a hockey game..romantic stuff like that." Maria said sarcastically.
"Ohh.." Liz said, feeling a little guilty that she'd just told her about her plans. "Well, maybe Michael has something planned..Like a surprise."
"Please. You're talking about Michael Guerin." Maria said as she layed back on the bed.
Just then, there was a knock on the door downstairs, followed by her mother's cry of "Liz, Alex is here! I'm sending him up!" His footsteps could be heard as he made his way up the stairs and into Liz's room.
"Alex!" Maria greeted sitting up on the bed.
"Hey Alex." Liz said cheerfully.
"Hello ladies." He responded, taking a seat next to Liz on her bed. "What have you two been up to?"
"Oh, just discussing our Valentine's Day plans." Liz answered, smile bright as ever on her face.
"Speaking of which," Maria cut in. "Where are you bringing Isabel?"
"Wait!" Alex said looking over at Liz's calendar. "Oh man! It's in two days!" He was beginning to panic. He hadn't done anything to prepare for it, no plans, no nothing. He hadn't even talked to Isabel about it yet.
"You didn't forget, did you Alex?" Liz asked.
"No, no. Of course not." He lied, though he knew they knew it.
"He forgot." Maria said, slight amusement in her voice. She got up and grabbed Liz's phone from her desk. "He'll just have to call and make plans now then." She said, handing him the phone.
"But what do I say? What if she already has plans? Then what do I do?" He asked frantically, desperately needing his two friends help.
"Start casual, ask her how she's doing." Liz told him. "Then bring up the topic of Valentine's Day."
"Because if a girl's got plans she'll share them with whoever will listen." Maria added with a nod. "So where are you going to bring her?" She asked.
"Uh, I don't know." He answered, though he did have an idea.
"Well think, time's ticking." Maria said, impatient.
"Ok, I was thinking maybe that nice Italian place over on West Street." Alex admitted.
"Lorretta's?" Liz asked for confirmation.
"Yeah."
"That place is perfect!" Maria said, thrilled.
"Really?" Alex said, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Definately. Now call." Both girls told him.
Alex slowly began punching the number in phone. It rang three times before someone picked up.
"Hello." The person was definately Max, Alex recognized his voice.
"Hi Max. It's Alex. Is Isabel there?"
Max was a bit disappointed that it wasn't Liz, but he was happy for his sister. Though she'd never admit it, he knew that she'd been hoping he'd ask her out for Valentine's Day and was upset because he hadn't yet.
"Yeah, hold on a minute." Max put the phone down and yelled to his sister. "Isabel, phone!"
Alex could hear him yell out to Isabel in the background.
"Who is it?" Isabel asked, hoping it was Alex.
"It's Alex."
She tried to hid the smile that came onto her face when she heard it was Alex and did an ok job, but she knew he saw it.
She grabbed the phone. "Hey Alex. What's up?"
"Hey, Isabel. Oh, um, nothing much. I was just, uh, calling to see if you, uh, had plans..for Valentine's Day." He said, his nervousness causing him to forget everything Liz and Maria told him. "Because I was, uh, wondering if you wanted to do something..With me." He was so nervous while he waited for her to answer he felt sick.
"No, I don't have any plans." She replied. She was so excited he finally asked her.
"Ok, well, there's this really great Italian resaurant, Lorretta's. I was thinking that, uh, we could go there."
"That sounds great Alex." She said, perfectly masking her excitement.
"Ok, so, do you want me to pick you up around six? Or when?"
"Six is fine." She answered.
"Alright, so I will see you then." He said, happy.
"Yeah. Bye Alex." She said, waiting for him to say bye back before hanging up.
"Bye Isabel." Alex hung up the phone & punched the air in celebration.
"Well, I guess everything went just fine." Maria said with a laugh, nodding towards Alex as he celebrated.
"I guess so." Liz laughed.
