Liz walked as Max slowly climbed down the ladder and disappeared out of sight, Joshua turned,
"So what did he want?" Joshua asked with a little attitude
"He just wanted to talk" Liz explained sitting back down on the patio chair
"About what exactly?" Joshua asked pacing the balcony
"We just needed to tie up a few loose ends from before I went away" Liz explained rubbing her forehead with her hand, why was he being so difficult?
"What kind of ends? Were they romantic ends? Were they friendship ends? Did you have a fight? What Liz? I've seen the way he looks at you and it's clearly nothing to do with friendship" Joshua said continuing to pace but stopped for a brief moment to hear what Liz had to say.
"Well.....well I think it's none of your business Josh"Liz said getting up in a huff and walking towards her window, she didn't need Josh on her case right now.
"Wait! I'm your boyfriend, don't you think that MAKES it my business?" Joshua said grabbing Liz's arm and turning her to face him.
"Look Josh, it's in the past. This is now and the past isn't relevant so can we just drop it" Liz said pulling her arm away and climbing inside.
"I'm going to bed, i'll see you in the morning"Liz said opening the door and indicating that she wanted him to leave
"Liz, please don't get mad. It's just that I can't help but be a jealous boyfriend. I still can't believe i'm going out with such a beautiful and intelligent girl, why wouldn't other guys be interested?" Joshua asked standing just outside the door
"There's nothing to be jealous of, trust me"Liz said giving him a kiss on the cheek, "Good night Josh" Liz said quietly before shutting the door. Her life had suddenly just got complicated...well even more than usual.

Max slowly climbed down the ladder listening to the conversation that was going on above. Liz was completely avoiding answering Josh's questions. This made Max feel kind of relieved but also a little angry. He wanted Liz to be his but if she was going to be happier with someone else then maybe it's for the best if she stays with them. Max's mind was spinning right now and all he do was sleep, maybe things would seem clearer in the morning. At least he hoped so.
Max climbed through his window only to be greeted by a worried looking Isabel sitting on his bed.
"And where have you been?" Isabel asked with her arms crossed, she looked quite angry.
"I just went for a walk" Max said taking off his shoes and placing them neatly under his desk
"And just happened to walk past the Crashdown when Liz just happened to be with her boyfriend!" Isabel said straining the last few words.
"Actually Joshua wasn't there" Max said a matter-a-factly.
"Ohhhh so you went to see her then and got all the info on her new love interest, i'm impressed. Personally I think he looks kinda cute" Isabel said with smile "but that's not the point" Isabel said with a cough
"Yea you're right, that's not the point and if you don't mind I would like to get some sleep" Max said flopping down on his bed
"I have two words for you Max?" Isabel asked towering over him "Move on"Isabel said slowly before turning around and exiting. Max groaned. If only she knew the full story.

"Come on Chica, time to get up!" Maria shouted pulling off the covers that were covering Liz. She groaned and turned over so her back wad facing Maria.
"I don't wanna get up" Liz groaned shoving the pillow over her head. Maria grabbed the pillow and threw it down on the floor behind her.
"You gotta get to work Liz, we've got hungry customers downstairs" Maria explained pulling at Liz's arm.
"Can't you cover for me? I didn't get much sleep last night" Liz sat sitting up in bed
"And why is that?" Maria asked with raised eyebrows guessing it would be something to do with one of the two men in her life.
"Max came round last night" Liz said flattening her hair down with her hands and gently tucking it behind her eyes.
"What did you two talk about?" Maria asked but Liz didn't reply, she was looking at something behind her, "Liz?" Maria asked looking confused
"Morning Josh" Liz said with a smile continuing to look behind Maria. Maria turned around to face Joshua too,
"Hey Joshua, how's it going?" Maria asked trying to be pleasant even though she did hate the guy. Not because he wasn't a nice guy because he was but because he just complicated things. Her and Max had got quite close over the summer and she hated to see him hurting like this.
"Fine thanks. Are you okay Liz?" Joshua asked walking towards Liz and giving her a good morning kiss, Liz backed away
"Yea i'm fine. I'm just about to get ready for work" Liz said getting off the bed and heading for the bathroom "Go ahead, i'll see you two later" Liz said to both of them before entering the bathroom and shutting the door behind her. Thank God Josh didn't hear anything about Max Liz thought to herself, that could have got nasty.

Max walked into the Crashdown immediately scanning the booths and counter for Liz, It had just come a reaction for him. He walked up to Maria who was standing at the counter,
"Hey Maria" Max said with a smile taking a seat at the nearest stool
"Hi Max, what can I get you?" Maria asked ready with her pad and pen
"Actually I was looking for Liz, when's she coming down?" Max asked looking around for Joshua only to find him glaring at him from one of the far booths.
"Soon I hope, it's getting kinda busy in here" Maria said putting her pad in her pocket and leaning closer to Max. "So why did you go and see her last night then?" Maria asked resting her head on her hands.
"I just needed to sort a few things out that's all" Max said trying not to smile at the image of what actually happened last night.
"Well i'm sure you'll be able to "talk" to her when she comes down" Maria said with a giggle as she walked off to wait some more tables.

Liz ran down the stairs and quickly pushed through the door into the main dining area. "I'm so sorry i'm late Maria" Liz said sliding her headband on.
"Don't worry about it. You've got a visitor" Maria said pointing to Max sitting at the counter. Maria grabbed the pad of the counter and hurried off.
"Oh hey Max" Liz said fiddling with the sauce holder with stood on the counter in front of her.
"Hi Liz, I was wondering whether we could talk about last night?" Max asked with a little grin "Maybe go over it again" Max said with a big grin now covering his face.
Liz looked behind Max to see Joshua glaring at them both, what was she going to do? "I don't think this is the right place to discuss that Max" Liz said looking up into his eyes,
"Well maybe we could go back there for a minute, I promise it won't take long" Max said nodding his head in the direction of the back room
"Well...." Liz started. She really shouldn't do this, it was completely wrong. She had to work and Joshua might over hear "Sure okay as long as it's only for a few minutes" Liz said before leading the way into the back room. You're so stupid!! Liz screamed at herself.
~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x
Max locked the door behind him and turned around to see a very nervous looking Liz in front of him,
"So now we're alone, I think we should discuss last night" Max said slowly walking towards him. His eyes slowly dropping to her lips and as she spoke,
"What part of last night do you want to discuss Max?" Liz asked nervously holding her hands together behind her back, she didn't want to lose control of the situation.
Max couldn't draw his eyes away from her lips, they looked so soft and red. He would do anything to kiss her right now. Max took another step towards her so they were only a inches apart.
"How about the very last part?" Max asked with a cheeky grin
