Title: I Wish….

Part 2
Max reached Maria's house 45 minutes after he spoke to her, he
stood at her door, he was a little nervous, his palms were sweaty, god why was
he feeling like this I mean its Maria for gods sake, his best friend, but then
he thinks back to the night before, Max smiled to himself, but boy what a body,
having a body like that should be a sin.
He knocked at the door, and waited.
Maria wasn't doing much better than Max, she had gone
through most of her clothes before she settled on what she was wearing now, she
didn't understand why she was feeing like this after all Max was her best
friend wasn't he? She heard the knock
at the door, and her stomach lurched, oh my! He was early. Maria ran down the stairs and stood just
before the door to compose herself.
Maria slowly opened the door and smiled at Max, god he was
so good looking, she was glad that he was dressed like her in jeans and white
t-shirt, but damn he looked good. Max
smiled back wow she was dressed similar to him but that t-shirt was way sexy,
it was a love v-neck and you could see her cleavage, god he could barely
breath, he had to touch her.
Max walked in and as he went past his hand grazed her arm,
which caused tingles up and down her spine.
Maria closed the door just as Max wrapped his arms around her from
behind, he kissed her neck, she craned her head to the side to give him better
access, and then slowly turned around so she could capture his lips. They stayed like that for a few moments
until Maria pulled away breathless, "Max we can't stand here all night, come
on." She took Max's hand and led him
through to dining room. "Maria, what is that smell?" Maria let go of him and ran into the kitchen. "Oh No!
I don't believe it." Max came
running behind her, when he saw what she was holding he started to laugh, he
was doubled over holding his stomach when he felt something wet hit him, he
looked up at a very angry Maria, he stopped laughing at once.
Maria had thrown a dish cloth at Max when he wouldn't stop
laughing at her, the dinner she had been making for them both was ruined,
actually ruined didn't describe it, it was beyond recognition. "I don't believe
this, I did what it said on the packet."
Max carefully walked over to Maria, took the food out of her hands and
put it next to the sink, he pulled a very rigid Maria into his arms and tucked
her head under his chin. "It's okay,
look I wasn't very hungry anyway."
Maria whimpered, "but Max I wanted this to be special, now it's all
ruined." Max tightened his hold on her,
"why don't we skip the main course and go right to dessert?" and with that he kissed
her, "mmmm, this is the best dessert I've ever tasted."
Somehow they had reached the sofa and were making out,
things were getting pretty heavy, the phone started to ring, Maria went to
reach for it but Max pulled her hand back, "leave it, if it's important they'll
call back." "Max, I can't, what if it's
mom, if I don't answer she'll worry."
Max let go of her arm and pulled himself away but not before he managed
to sneak in another kiss. Maria smiled
and sat upright. She picked up the
phone and said hello. "Hey Maria." Maria's smile dropped at the voice, she
looked over at Max before answering "Hi Liz."
Max's smile disappeared, for a short time he had forgotten about Liz but
just knowing that she was on the other side of the line made him sad. Max got up to leave the room and went into
the kitchen. Maria watched him go and
sighed.
"Maria, Maria are you listening to me?" "What? Yeah, yeah I'm listening, so are you
having a good time in Florida?" "So you
weren't listening, I've just told you it was great here. Are you okay you sound
a little weird, oh, is someone there, is it Michael?" "Liz I'm fine, and no Spaceboy isn't here, but um, Max is." "Max is there with you?" "Why is that so strange? You left him here and he needed someone to talk
to and Michael isn't very talkative at the moment and Isabel is off with her
other friends and Tess well don't get me going about that tramp." "Okay, Okay so he hasn't anyone else to go
to, you know I miss him, I guess I'm just jealous, but I know you'll keep him
safe. He isn't seeing anyone is
he?" Maria blushed at this, "well I
don't think so, I mean so far we've spent most of the holidays together, he's
my friend." They spoke for a further
ten minutes before they said goodbye.
Maria put the phone down and thought about what she had
said, she couldn't tell Liz about her and Max, she went to find Max.
Max was sitting at the kitchen table eating ice-cream, Maria
went to the drawer got a spoon and sat next to Max, for a few minuets they sat
eating in silence, Maria looked at Max and sighed under her breath she said "I
wish…."
TBC.
