Authors Note: Hey guys. Sorry it's taken like forever for me to get this up but there was a death in the family and I didn't feel up to writing anymore until I found out a few days ago that the show was canceled. I still can't believe it! I mean in Australia we haven't even seen the second season yet so screw FOX. If we had the FOX network here I'd be planning a boycott. But anyway, you know the drill. By the way, to wondertross who asked about the shoes in the last sex scene, well you see, in my reality shoes have a life of their own so they just remove themselves when they think people aren't watching and that's why I didn't mention the shoes, they were off before I could get to that part. They're sly little suckers.
A Different World
Chapter 9
"Riiiiiight... Ben." Angie exclaimed pointing at him and winking. "And I'm Pocahontas. Nice to meet you." She said extending her hand to shake his. "Hey barkeep, can I get another beer for my friend Ben here?" She didn't know what game he was playing but she went along with it anyway.
Ben's face softened. "You're certainly an intriguing person Pocahontas."
"Why thank you. I get that all the time. So, Ben, where are you from? If you don't mind me asking."
"I don't mind at all. Wyoming. How about you?"
"Everywhere. I get around. No wait, that didn't sound right. Not that I get around around, but that I've been a lot of places. I guess Seattle's my home now though." She said while motioning the bartender for another drink.
"Sounds like you've led an interesting life." He remarked.
"Interesting is one way of putting it, fucked up is another. But we don't want to get into that. Tell me something funny."
"Something funny?" He asked confused.
"Yeah, you know, something to make me laugh."
He thought for a moment and then answered. "I don't think I know any funny stories."
"Wow. That's actually really depressing." She said staring into space.
"Why don't you tell me something funny."
"Okay. Three men were sitting in a bar, drinking and discussing how stupid their wives were. The first says, 'I tell you, my wife is so stupid. Last week she went to the supermarket and bought $300 worth of meat because it was on sale, and we don't even have a fridge big enough to keep it in!' The second agrees that she sounds pretty thick, but says his wife is thicker. 'Just last week, my wife went out and spent $17000 on a new car, and she doesn't even know how to drive!' The third, a blond male, nods and agrees that these two women sound like they both walked through the stupid forest and got hit by every branch. But, he still thinks his wife is dumber. 'I have to laugh when I think about it,' he says. 'Last week my wife left on a vacation to Greece. I watched her packing her bags and she must have taken at least 5 boxes of condoms with her. She doesn't even have a penis!'" She said laughing hysterically.
Ben just looked at her for a moment but couldn't help the smile that spread across his face and he chuckled lightly. "That was lame." He announced.
"Yeah, but it still made you laugh!" She protested. "You have a nice smile. You should smile more."
"I don't usually have anything to smile about."
"Well, next time you feel down, remember that lame joke. Should get a smile from you." She offered.
"I will." He agreed smiling again.
"I am really drunk so I am going home now. Where there is a bed. Yes. Sleep, good. Bye, bye Ben." As she attempted to stand she felt her legs give out but before she could hit the floor Ben had shot up and caught her. She began laughing uncontrollably and Ben eyed her warily.
'This girl is mad!' He thought to himself. "Maybe I should walk you home." He suggested.
"Why the fuck not!" She squealed. "I know! Let's see Max on the way!"
"Who?" He asked confused.
"Come on! Let's go!" She said grabbing his hand and pulling him out, stumbling slightly on the way.
Max's Apartment
Max and Alec still lay there tangled in the bed sheets, neither able to move when all of a sudden they heard a pounding at the door. Max groaned and got up and put on shorts and an old t-shirt before making her way to the door which was still being pounded on. "I'm coming dammit!" She hollered.
She opened the door and Angie stumbled in laughing and gripping Max so she wouldn't fall. "Maxie! Long time babe!"
Max held on to her tight and led her to a seat, unaware of the other man's presence. "God Angie, what the Hell have you been drinking?"
"Tequila. A lot of tequila. Oh God Max, I think I'm going to be sick."
"Oh no, not here you aren't." As Max spoke Alec came out the bedroom, dressed only in his boxers. He glanced at Angie and Max and then at the man hovering near the door and gasped.
"What the fuck is going on?" He asked bewildered.
"Who are you?" Ben asked just as bewildered.
Max looked up to see the two men, the shock causing her to drop Angie who fell in a heap to the floor. After attempting to upright herself, Angie looked at the scene before her; Ben and Alec were standing face to face and Max was looking between the two with complete confusion.
"Wow. There are two of you!" Angie laughed. "Ben this is Alec." She said stumbling toward Alec and bringing their hands together to shake. Turning to Max and dragging her forward directly in front of Ben she continued, "And this is Max. Max, Ben."
"I can't believe I found you." Ben smiled.
"Ben? Is it really you?" She said in disbelief.
"Yeah Maxie. It's me." He said before enveloping her in a tight hug. Angie and Alec stood and watched the exchange with curiosity. Angie leaned on Alec and he held her up to keep her from falling.
"Max, can I crash here tonight. I don't think I can make it home." Angie whined losing interest in the scene before her.
"Yeah. Take my bed. I don't think I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight." Max stated as she stared at the two identical men before her, one of whom she had been looking for her whole life and the other one she had been waiting for her whole life.
