Chapter Three – Things are Fixed

The next Morning – Thursday May 31st, 2001

Max slowly opened his eyes and smiled when he saw his beautiful Liz in his arms. He lightly kissed her forehead and she sighed softly and opened her eyes slowly to see Max looking at her with love in his eyes. He leaned towards her slowly and gently kissed her on the lips. Liz pulled him closer and kissed him harder, then she pulled away and Max looked at his watch.

Max: "Oh crap, I should be at work now, it's a good thing that school is done or we'd be very late. I'm sorry Liz, I'll see you at lunchtime right?"

Liz: "Sure, I'm working from 11:30 to 2:30 today."

Max: "Okay, bye."

Liz: "Bye."

Max quickly kissed Liz and then hopped down the fire escape.

Liz got up from the lawn chair and stretched. She grabbed her blanket and climbed through her window. She looked at her clock flashing 9:30am, she smiled and headed to the bathroom for a shower.

Thirty minutes later, Liz walked down to the Crashdown all ready for work, but an hour and a half early. But she wanted to talk to Maria about everything that had happened yesterday.

Liz walked out to the front of the Crashdown and Maria ran over to her.

Maria: "Chica, guess what?"

Liz: "What?"

Maria: "Micheal, he came to see me last night and he told me all about the destiny thing and how it doesn't make sense because he has all his memories back now and he wasn't engaged to anyone let alone Isabel. He also said Max and Tess were married in an arranged marriage and they were both very unhappy."

Liz: "I know, Max came to my place last night and we ended up talking until we fell asleep. He left about half an hour ago to go to work, but he's coming here for lunch."

Maria: "You two fell asleep talking!!! What if your Mom had caught you two?"

Liz: "Maria, calm down my parents are on a 6 month cruise remember last week."

Maria: "Right sorry. So, who is running the café while they're gone."

Liz: "Well, they didn't want to burden me so well, you know my uncle Stan?"

Maria: "Of course."

Liz: "Well, he's in charge but, he's not staying with me."

Maria: "Makes sense."

Liz: "This way we can still go to Florida."

Maria and Liz worked hard for the next two hours, then Liz looked at the clock and smiled.

Maria: "What?"

Liz: "Max will be here any minute."

Maria:(giggles)"Okay you've got it bad."

Just then the door opened and Max walked in smiling, he walked over to Liz and kissed hr lightly on the lips. Liz gave Maria an "I told you so" look. Maria just rolled her eyes and walked away from them with a smile on her face anyways.

Liz: "Hey, how was your morning?"

Max: "Okay but, way better now."

Liz:(giggles)"Thanks, so what time do you get off work?"

Max: "2:00, why?"

Liz: "I was thinking that maybe we could do something, I know we'll go upstairs and we can watch a movie and snuggle on the couch and eat popcorn."

Max: "Sounds good. What time?"

Liz: "Well, you should go home and tell your Mom and stuff. So, how about 3:00, okay that gives me time after work to shower and change."

Max: "That's perfect."

Liz: "Okay so, what do you want for lunch?"

Max: "Umm....some saturn rings....a chocolate alien blast....and a galaxy burger with cheese....and could you eat with me please?"

Liz: "Of course, I'll be right back with our drinks."

Liz wrote down the order and dropped it in at the kitchen. Then she headed over to the shake machine to make Max's alien blast and she poured herself a glass of water grabbed a bottle of tabasco sauce and headed back over to the table where Max was sitting.

Liz: "Here's some tabasco and your chocolate alien blast."

Max: "Thanks."

Liz: "Maria will bring our food over when it's ready."

Max: "That's cool. So, what are you up to this afternoon?

Liz: "Well I'm have to do the ordering for the café."

Max: "Why would you have to do the ordering?"

Liz: "Because my parents are on this 6 month cruise so I told then I'd do the ordering for them

Max: "Oh, are you in charge while they are gone?"

Liz: "No, my uncle is but I told them I'd do the ordering for them because Uncle Stan really has no clue what to order. Plus I'm going to Florida in July so my parents didn't want me to miss out on that. Oh speaking of Florida you and Isabel and Micheal should come too."

Max: "Well I'll have to ask but as long as we make sure girls and guys have separate rooms our parents shouldn't have a problem."

Liz: "What about Tess and Kyle they are part of this now too should we invite them too?"

Max: "I guess we could ask them. I don't know what they'd say though."

Liz: "Good."

Five minutes later, Maria showed up at their table with their food. Max and Liz ate and talked quietly and then they both went back to work.
