"So Maria, what brings you to Roswell?" Alex asked raising an eyebrow
"You know just visiting family!" Maria lied. There was no way she was going to tell Alex that she was sent to Roswell because her parents couldn't control her.
"Family huh? So that would make you some sort of relative to Amy Deluca!" Alex said
"What gave me away?" Maria asked rolling her eyes
"To tell the truth I already knew who you were. My brother's best friend is Kyle" Alex said and Maria looked him expectedly "You know Kyle Valenti, the sheriff's son…"
"Oh the guy that was making out with my aunt!" Maria said screwing up her nose in distaste at the thought of her aunt making out with anyone
"And there's a lot of gross that comes with that image!" Alex said
"At least you didn't get to catch the whole show!" Maria said sure that she was going to have nightmares tonight and maybe for the rest of her life.
"And believe me I will be thanking the lord for that! So how long are you going to ' just visiting' dear old Roswell?" Alex asked
"Not sure just going have to see what happens!" Maria said meaning that it depended on how long Zan and okay her as well could be, now what was the word? Good! That's it. It depended on how long her and Zan could be good. Although it also included Max cause whatever he said, he wasn't that good, no sometimes the things he got up to even made Maria look good. Just because he was all quiet and shy people over looked him and didn't believe that he could ever do anything so wrong or bad. Yeah well Maria knew the truth. Yes she did. She knew exactly what her brothers could be like.
Talking or well thinking about Zan and Max, Alex coughed nervously "Um Maria, they your brothers right?" He gestured with his head towards the booth where Zan and Max were
"Them? Yeah sadly they are related to me but I am still under the impressing that I was adopted." Maria said looking over to her brothers who were glaring at her, she gave them a little wave knowing that they must be dying over there because they wanted to grill her on what she said to Liz
"Do they always look so mad?" Alex asked wondering if it was a good idea to talk to Maria.
"Oh yeah. Don't worry its not because of you, it cause of me and how I just told Liz some home truths about them."
"Yeah I caught all of the conversation!" Alex said smiling
"Really? Good, spread the word!" Maria said grinning
Alex looked back over towards the booth and shook his head "I think I let you do all the good news spreading!"
"Oh well. If you change your mind" Maria said with a shrug
"I don't think that I be changing my mind any time soon but you know…"
"Hey Alex, stop your gossiping and get a move on. I want a lift home!"
Maria looked up and felt her mouth drop open, standing before her was the most gorgeous guy she had ever seen. He was just drool worthy and Maria was sure she was drooling. He was tall made even taller by his spiky hair that was wild and unkempt. Maria's eyes travelled down the rest of his body, ok the boy could do with letting some color enter his wardrobe but other then that it was hello salty goodness.
"Michael, I am kinda in the middle of something here so get your fat ass out of here and walk it home!" Alex said rolling his eyes
Maria's eyes widened, she hadn't had the chance to check out this guy's ass but she was sure that it wasn't fat. There was nothing fat about this Michael dude and if there was Maria sure wanted to get a chance to help him work up a sweat and get rid of it. Oh yeah, she would pay good money to see this guy naked.
"Hey I am Maria!" Maria said to him flashing him her best 100-watt smile.
"That's nice!" Michael Guerin said sarcastically to the brunette girl before he looked at his brother "Alex, I am still waiting!"
"And you can keep waiting until I am done. Excuse my brother, he doesn't understand how to use his manners, I swear our father tried to teach them to him! That and he is very hostile to new people, you know when people have family dogs that are very hostile to everyone they have never met before and have a tendence to bit well I wasn't allow a dog because Michael is enough" Alex said causing Maria to laugh. He was talking rubbish but he made him smile to see Maria laugh. That and he wanted to make sure that Michael didn't try and make Maria another one of his notches on his bedpost.
Michael glared at his brother, not impressed with being used as the butt of Alex's jokes especially Alex's bad jokes
"Maria allow me to introduce you to my brother Michael Guerin, Michael this is…"
"Maria, she already said. Now that we done with that can we go!"
"I thought you said your last name was Whitman!" Maria said frowning, sure that she had heard him say his name was Alex Whitman and not Alex Guerin.
"It is. Long story maybe we could get together and I could tell you it over coffee" Alex said
"You know Alex I would prefer if you didn't go sharing our family history over coffee…"
"Coffee would be great." Maria smiled
Michael glared at the pair, getting the feeling that he was being ignored. If his brother didn't get into action and move Michael was going to make him move his scrawny little body and then he was going to…
"Michael, I asked you where Kyle was!" Alex said when he finally pulled Michael out of his thoughts although he doubt he was actually thinking, no that would involve using brain cells which Michael lacked.
"What am I? His keeper?" Michael snapped. All he wanted to do was go home, lock himself in his room and annoy the neighbours by playing his heavy metal music. Was that too much to ask?
"No I was just wondering since you were meant to be hanging with him early and I want to introduce him to his future step cousin!" Alex said
"Step cousin? What the hell are you talking about?" Michael asked
"Maria here is Amy Deluca's niece," Alex stated causing Michael to actually look at her.
Michael couldn't help wondering how he missed the fact that Maria was a stunner but then again there was the fact that he wanted to go home and his annoying brother normally only spoke to geeky girls that made Michael's stomach turn over with sickness. But oh yeah Maria DeLuca was a stunner no doubt about it.
Maria looked over to her brothers, who both looked like they were about to pounce any second. From the looks of things Liz was forgotten for now and now they were getting ready to warn off all guys in a five-mile radius.
"Hey, Alex, it was great meeting you. We should really do coffee some day. Michael," goodbye salty goodness "it was nice meeting you." Maria said flashing him a smile before going back to her table
"Yeah bye Maria!" Alex said waving he looked at his brother "You know you have the worst timing ever right!"
"You know I don't care right?" Michael said following his brother out. There was something not quite right about Maria or by the looks of things the guys with her who Michael assumed were her brothers. Nope something was no right and Michael was going to find out what was going on. Because Alex was right when he said he didn't like new people. Look like him and Alex were going to have to do some breaking and entering.
"What did you say to Liz? Who were the guys?"
"What did Liz say to you? Were the guys hitting on you? Were they trying to sell you drugs?"
And so the questions began.
Maria sat back into her sit and waited for her brothers to notice that she wasn't answering their questions because they wouldn't shut up.
"Answer the questions Maria!" Zan ordered
"I would if you would both shut up and give me a chance to get a word in!" Maria said
"We're listening!" Max stated
"Those two guys well, the one who was sat with me was called Alex and the one stood up was his brother Michael. And Michael is a friend of Kyle who is the sheriff's son and the sheriff was the one who was making…"
"Say no more!" Zan said before she could finish
"Anyway we were just talking, they weren't trying to sell me anything!" Maria said 'although if Michael happened to be selling his body she would be first in queue' she thought to herself
"And Liz?" Max asked
Maria looked down at the table with guilt, biting her lip.
"Maria!"
"Ok, Ok, look this is going to sound really stupid but I told…"
"Maria!"
"Ok I told her that she better now hurt you two because you are my brothers and I love you both too much to see you torn about my some girl!" Maria lied and for a second she was worried that they wouldn't believe her
"Aw, baby sis it's not stupid. It's completely understandable. Of course you love us. I mean look at us! Who wouldn't love us?" Zan said playfully hugging Maria making her feel really bad.
"So what else did she say?" Max asked
"Not a lot really!" Maria said
"Well me and Max were talking…"
"Mainly Zan"
"And we thought the perfect way to find out about Liz would be to look at her school files, you know how they always have all that pointless crap on there. I am sure there got to be something we could use!" Zan said
"Yeah but aren't they kept in a locked office or something!" Maria said "And anyway you going to have to wait ages because school doesn't start up again for a while!"
"Who said anything about waiting? I say we do this tonight!" Zan said causing Maria's eyes to light as she listened to Zan's plan.
"And here we go again!" Max muttered before tuning into what Zan was saying.
Tonight was going to be a long night!
