Wats olli gonna do now?? GASP…. And wats this? ANOTHER CHARACTER?!?!?!
Who's visiting the majestics? And does he have a past our protagonist?
So Much for my Happy Ending!!
I've been spending most of my time in the kitchen, Johnny's playing chess on his computer, Enrique's in his room hopefully cleaning it, because last time I went in there it was a total sty and I could barely move! And Robert has gone for a spin, he does that when he needs to think, the only one of us who still beyblade's for a hobby. For the rest of us, it's more of an obligation when some of pour past comes to bite us. Ok, well enough of that, back to my soufflé!
Quiet….quiet……don't want it to collapse…
Ok, I'm carrying the soufflé over to the bench slowly, very slowly, and quietly….very quietly. There!!!
Ok, now just wait for it to cool….
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
OH no!!! My soufflé!! Stupid person knocking on the stupid door!!! WHY I OUTTA!!!
Who would be coming over at this time of the day? Well I guess it is kinda normal to receive visitors mid afternoon….. but err…..well…. I wasn't expecting anyone….. Or was I ….. Nah nah, I'm pretty sure that I wasn't.
Well, there is really no need for this is there. I can just go over there and check…. I honestly don't know why I haven't done it yet…. Maybe it's just for suspense, yes thats it, for my own personal amusement and to waist time, and to annoy everyone ::grins evily:: …. Errmm…. Sorry… I'll get on with it!!
So ok, I'm going to answer the door.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK…..
I'm coming, I'm coming!!! Hold your horseies!!
I open the door slowly to a grinning face.
"Hi!" The person said grinning from ear to ear. I smile back awkwardly. This is the last thing I need on my plate!
"Hello Max, long time no see" Max nods and steps in when I move aside for him with a silent welcome.
"That it has been!"
Hmmm….. I don't think I've told you the story behind Max, as you know, Max is in the bladebreakers…. duh… ermm… well, a year or two ago, before I was gay ….. yes yes, before!! Don't look at me like that, I did date girls once, I hated it, but I still did it….. hmmm I guess that means that I was gay all along. I never thought about that up until just now. Funny ha. NEWHO…. As I was saying, back in the days, after the bladebreakers split apart and went their separate ways (Yes unlike them, we majestic's stuck together! So much for team spirit!) Well after that me and Max were pretty close, he stayed with me for a few months in Europe, Myself and Enrique took him in while he globe trotted the world (is that the right expression?!?! O.O) While he was with us, unbeknownst to myself and Enrique, Max was a newly discovered gay (yes I know there are gays EVERYWHERE!! I guess all beybladers must be gay, funny ha…. Funny yet very convenient ) and he had his sites on none other than me. He asked me out, I said no (because I thought I was straight) and that was the end of it! He left and this is the first time I've seen him in some time!!
So Max was my first confusion, before Enrique confused the hell out of me, there was Max. I liked Max at the time, like I REALLY liked Max, and at the time I confused it for strong friendship, that is until he left and then I realized, that Max had meant more to me than I had originally thought.
But at the time I wasn't going to after him for nothing, because all I could think about back then was my reputation and my dignity…. Neither of which I have now.
As the time went on, I slowly pushed Max out of my head for my own sanity. And after all that, I guess that's were you come in, and know all about Enrique and all the shit I've been through keeping him and making sure that he doesn't come to his senses and leave me…. And then more recently, this shit with Johnny……and further issues with Enrique! Shit, my life is fucked up!!
Ok so I guess now that you know the dumbed down story of my history with Max, now I'm sure that you know my problem. Not only did Enrique not like Max for his own sterange reasons, but also ever since Max told me about his 'feelings' and I told Enrique, well Enrique has always harboured some extra dislike toward him. And Enrique's is yet to completely forgive me for kissing Johnny, I can only imagine what's going to happen now. ::shudders::
I offer Max a drink and we both take a seat at the table to catch up.
"So what's brought you here Max?" I ask taking a sip of my scented jasmine tea. Max takes, well what I'd call a glug of his soda.
"I'm here on work, thought I'd surprise you and drop in. It feels like forever since I last saw ya!" He grins. I frown, work…… yuck!! Poor Max!
"So what is your….work….?" I asks, desperately trying to stop myself from gagging when the word work escapes. Max give's me an odd look in noticing this.
"Food critic, I travel the world and eat food and write about it in my column" He grins. "I Luv it!!" Eating, eating and more eating….. perfect occupation for Max.
"Sounds perfect for you!" He nods
"So what about you Oliver? Anything interesting happened to you since I've been gone?" He looks intently at me, taking another glug of his soda. I lie shaking my head.
"Not really, pretty uneventful really." He giggles cutely.
"That's not what I heard." Rats! He called my bluff!! I smile nervously. "I've read some interesting things about you on my travels Oliver, you've been getting up to quiet a lot by the sounds of things…. You and the rest of the majestic's as far as I know!"
"Oh, er, you know?"
"Umm, everyone who reads the paper knows Olli. And everyone who doesn't read the paper has found out from someone who does read the paper. And the people who live in the middle of the desert who don't get the paper, or know anyone who gets the paper has found out by going on the internet." He takes a deep breath. "And the people who don't have the internet who live in the middle of the desert found out by…err…" Is it just me, or was that un-necessarily long. The simply answer would have been 'Yes, Oliver. I do know' Bwah! He ran out of things to say.
"Well…I guess you get the point don't cha" Yes, yes I do.
"Ok, so enough of what I've been up too, what have you been up to?" He smiles broadly understanding how uncomfortable I must be. His eyes are beaming with what could be confused with sunshine, you'd almost sware he'd managed to get his hand on some and is keeping it captive in those blue orbs.
Oh, don't get me wrong I don't have a crush on Max! Why do I feel I have to convince myself that just as much as I do you?
This is just getting worse and worse, first Johnny and now Max!!!
Enrique's going to love this, just wait till he sees Max has come down for a visit. Enrique dose know that Max had feelings for me, as I said before, he was the one that helped me through the awkward situation.
Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.
Enrique enters the room just before Max gets to answer my question. Myself and Max both fall quiet, Enrique doesn't appear to notice our presence in the room, as he heads into the kitchen and to the fridge. He takes out a soda and then heads back to the door.
While taking a sip of the can he glances slowly around the room before his eyes come to rest on us. He stops in his tracks.
"Max…." He questions sounding like he was in dream mode and trying to convince himself that what he was seeing was real.
Max smiles at Enrique. "Yep it's me"
Enrique looks disappointed. Did I mention that Enrique never really liked Max? I don't remember, well I'm going to say it again. Enrique thinks that Max is a stereotypical blond, and Enrique hates blond stereotypes, because he believes that he isn't one of them. However, many of us beg to differ. Yes, Max may not be the brightest crayon in the box, and yes he may be hyperactive 97.57 percent of the time. AND yes Max may be one of the most gullible people you may meet but I don't believe that this gives Enrique any reason to hold a grudge against one of the most innocent and naïve people you will ever meet.
"What are you doing here?" Enrique asks bluntly. Max continues smiling.
"What, no 'Hi Max, how are you?'" Max asks, Enrique walks closer to us at the table. I try to keep a close eye on both of them, studying their reactions.
"Hi Max, how are you?… What are you doing here?" Enrique asks again. I think that he thinks that I have something do with Max being here. He thinks that I'm conspiring against him. But I'm not I sware!
"What I'm doing here, is visiting my friends that I haven't seen in ages!! You'd almost think you weren't happy to see me?" Max asks grinning… Is he taunting Enrique, maybe Max knows that Enrique doesn't like him, I mean, few people are THAT dense! But I guess, in Max's case…. I shouldn't rule it out!
Enrique completely ignores what Max just said. "How long are you going to be here for?" He asks.
Max looks at me still smiling… he does that a lot! "As long as you can bare to have me"
Enrique rolls his eye, Max doesn't see this, but I do. "Well cya then" He says before leaving the room.
I smile awkwardly at Max. "He was joking….." I say trying to sound as genuine as I can.
Max's expression doesn't change.
"It doesn't matter" He looks away. "I wasn't here to see him anyway"
I hope you liked it….
Ne comments will be greatly appreciated!!!
