Liz watched as Max walked slowly towards her noticing the way his eyes droped to her mouth. The way he was looking at her made her feel like she was his next dinner. Liz's mind went on over drive, what was she gunna do?! Her body needed him but her mind said no. She quickly went through all the options, u can either kiss,talk or run Liz thought to herself. Max was getting closer, she had to decided. Max stopped inches infront of her, her mind went blank. Max bent his head and moved towards her,
"We shouldn't be doing this Max" Liz said moving her head back so he couldn't reach.
"I know" Max said breathlessly moving towards her again,
"No Max, I don't think you understand"Liz said taking a full step back, "I can't go behind Joshua's back. Trust me I want to" Liz said her vision dropping to his mouth "But...but that's wrong" Liz explained shaking her head and looking back at Max.
"Liz, I know" Max said reaching out and touching the side of Liz's face,
"Don't touch me Max"Liz said quickly brushing Max's hand away from her face.
"I don't like doing this either but if this is the only way that I can be like this with you then it's worth it" Max explained, reaching out and touching Liz's arm, Liz looked down at his hand and then back up at Max's face.
"I can't do this Max, could u....please leave" Liz asked looking away
"Liz...please" Max begged taking hold of her chin turning it to face him "We should be together" Max said looking straight at her but still Liz refused to look at him. Max let go of her chin and turned to walk out, he reached the door,
"Let me know when you've reconnected your heart" Max said before exiting the dark room. What did he mean by that? Liz thought to herself.
Liz walked out of the room quickly hopeing no one had noticed where and who she'd been with, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Liz turned around,
"What did he want?" Joshua asked putting both hands on her shoulders waiting for her answer,
"He just wanted to finish off what we started last night" Liz said looking up into his eyes, this was getting really hard
"And what was that?" Joshua asked not letting her go
"Just stuff, nothing important" Liz said with a little smile "So what are you up today?" Liz asked wrapping her arms around Joshua's neck.
"Well....i was thinking I would take my favourite girl out for dinner and for a movie" Joshua said with a smile
"Well i'm sure that can be arranged, what time?" Liz asked unwrapping her arms from around his shoulders and dropping them by her side
"is 8 okay?" Joshua asked taking his hands off her shoulders
"8's fine, I guess i'll see you then then" Liz said kissing him lightly before grabbing her pad of paper and getting back to the custumers.

Max walked out of the back room quickly trying to ignoring the glare he got from Joshua. Max jumped into his jeep and drove off home, he needed to think things over. He had to come up with ways of getting Liz to realise how much she needed him and how much she loved him, time to think up a plan of action. Max drove down the main street scanning all the shops and cafes he passed, suddenly a flourist came into view. Perfect!
Max climbed through Liz's window trying to keep hold of the roses he'd just spent his last weeks wages on. He stumbled through and looked up to find Joshua sitting on Liz's bed, if looks could kill....
"Oh hi Max, are those for Liz?" Joshua asked too polite for comfort
"Oh these, yea" Max said lifting them up "It's no big deal" Max said dropping them down on the desk beside him
"Well personally to me, having my girlfriends ex after her again is a big deal. Max she's taken, I suggest u deal with it" Joshua said taking a picture of Liz from his pocket. They were photo booth pictures of Liz and Joshua fooling about. "Look, she's happy where she is" Joshua said holding out the pictures for Max to see.
"Think what you like Joshua, tell Liz I stopped by" Max said before heading for the window
"You know what, I think I won't tell her. The less she see's and knows about you the better" Joshua said with a smile before looking back down at the pictures. Max continued to climb out of the window and down the ladder, getting in a fight with Joshua wasn't going to help things with Liz at all. He had to be strong, he couldn't let that bastard get to him.

Liz slowly pulled herself up the stairs, she was so tired, she'd been working all day. It was 7 o'clock already and she really needed to get ready. Liz pushed open the door to her room to find Joshua sitting on her bed holding a bunch of flowers,
"Hey Josh, what are you doing here? We're not meant to meet till 8" Liz said standing in the door way
"Yea I know but I just wanted to give you these" Joshua said handing the flowers over to Liz,
"Wow Josh, they're beautiful. You didn't have to do this" Liz said swinging her arms around his neck
"Beautiful flowers for a beautiful girl" Joshua said before kissing her slowly on the mouth, gently at first but it quickly got more passionate.
"We've got all night to do this, I need to get ready" Liz said handing the flowers back to Joshua,"Put these in water while I get ready, i'll meet you downstairs" Liz said watching Joshua leave. Liz pined up her hair and headed for the shower.
Liz finished her shower, pulled on her dressing grown and headed for her wardrobe. She needed to find the perfect out fit for tonight. Liz flicked through her clothes, which should she wear, a two piece or a dress? Her fingers reached her blue knee length dress, perfect. Liz sliped her it on while facing the mirror admiring the reflection. Something caught Liz's eye in the corner of the mirror, someone was standing at her window. She turned around to face the window. The tall figure stepped out of the shadows, Liz gasped. She walked towards the figure slowly staring into his deep soulful eyes. No words passed between them because they both didn't want to break the magical atmosphere around them. Liz reached the window and pulled it open, they were inches away from each other. His voice broke the silence,
"Liz, I......" He began but was stopped by Liz's finger on his lips. She knew excastly what he was going to say.
