TESS
"You could read at the beach, so you can join some volleyball or something similar when you are done with reading." Kyle responds.
"Hmm, that does sound like a good idea. Beach volleyball always looks like so much fun," I say, thinking it over. Hey, it sounds kosher to me. I'll go to the beach with Kyle anytime. Beach= no shirt, no shoes, lotsa skin hehe.
I take a sip of my root beer and munch on some of the chips and salsa in the middle of the table. Kyle decides to ask Michael if he's up for a trip to the beach tomorrow. Hey, as long as Michael doesn't get any ideas and try to kiss me in the surf too, I think everything will be alright.
I look over at Alex and Isabel, totally lost in their own private conversation. They're facing each other in their seats, their heads bent towards each other, talking in hushed but animated tones. Awww they look so comfortable together, I'm so happy for both of them. For Alex, that he has finally risen above his crush on her to the point where he can act normal around her; and for Isabel, that she has come down off her high horse on which she arrived, and is now enjoying Alex's companionship.
I continue my survey of the table. Max and Liz are trying to have a conversation, I think, but they keep getting interrupted by various members of Liz's family. As I watch them though I see them stealing furtive glances at each other while occupied listening to or speaking to someone else. Well there is definitely something going on there, no doubt about it. I can see it clearly now. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that yet, though. I suppose time will tell.
Maria and Michael are off in their own little world as well, but they're too far away for me to tell if they're having any sort of wonderful conversation or not. Or at least they were until Kyle grabbed Michael's attention to ask him about the beach.

OOC --I know you are, Trude. I'm so sorry. I've been trying very hard to catch up as I seem to be behind in all my RPs -- I may have finally gotten involved in more than I can handle -- at least when I suddenly get a double workload on the job and end up doing a lot of work from home. 
But I can't let my favorite ones be waiting on me like this. So sorry.
You may not believe it, but this one was actually the next on my list. (followed by PC, and a starter post on SD... and then all the ones I'm in at Haven.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Michael*
Maria's gone silent again. It's so strange. I always got the impression that she was a babbler, talking a mile a minute to anyone about anything, or even nothing. But whenever I get her alone, I seem to lose her after about three sentances. I wonder what that means?
Of course, we're not alone now. We're at a huge birthday dinner for Liz, so even if she were ignoring me, wouldn't she be chatting it up with Isabel there on her other side? None of this makes sense.
I blow out a breath and my eyes roll towards the ceiling. This party blows. Maxwell should have arranged a keg party at the beach. That would be so much better. If we were there, then there'd be some other girls who might be passing by. I wouldn't be stuck here. The only 'fresh faces' here are Liz's friends. They're waaaaay on the other end of the table, but I try to scope 'em out and see if I can get anyone's attention. Unfortunately, they all seem to be talking to each other or watching Max. Grrr!
I'm about to seriously drift away in my own thoughts of beautiful babes, when I realize that Kyle is talking to me.
"What? Oh yeah. The beach would be great. I was just thinking about that. We could go tomorrow and spend the day. We gonna ditch these girls or you thinking some group event?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Max*
I'm having a pleasant time talking to Kels, but every time I turn back to Tess, she seems to be busy talking to Kyle. He's pretty cool, I think. Yeah, he sorta didn't help on the whole porno-disaster, but it could have been worse. He seems mostly normal.
"Have you figured out your plans for tomorrow? Are you going to stay in Florida a bit or are you all heading home?" I ask her.
"Well, we all came separately and so we're not traveling back together. I'm going to be here until Sunday morning, I think. Not sure what I'll be doing yet. Maybe I'll hang out at the pool at the hotel. Or head down to Miami and look for movie stars."
"Is that where you find them?" I ask. I thought stars hung out in Hollywood.
"Oh sure. Miami's big. And New York City, too," she says. "I just don't know where exactly to look. It's such a big city."
I shrug. Maybe she's right. "Maybe you could hang out with Liz -- if it's okay with the producers. I'm sure she'd love to spend some time with Tony."
"Tony?" Kels asks. "Liz isn't with him. She probably wouldn't have even gotten on the show if she had a serious boy-friend."
"Well, yeah, I know," I say. Liz had told me that and that was certainly the impression that I got from her family when I was arranging for everyone to be here. Well, maybe she'll end up with Kyle if she doesn't meet anyone new. I don't like thinking of him with her, but I don't like thinking of her alone, either. And if she's not interested in me, well....
"Tess and I were thinking we might make a day-trip to Key Largo, or even all the way down to Key West if the weather's good. Just for fun," I say trying to change the topic of conversation. Turning, I give Tess a smile.

no problem Isabelle i just thought I'd bump the thread to page one again 
KYLE
Ditching these girls? THey are all hot so why should we ditch them.
"I don't know. When they want to tag along they can but I'm sure we'll find some female company without them too." I grin and then realize that Isabel could have heard that. Wow, I almost forgot that I'm going out with her tomorrow. That has never happened so far. Have to remember that date tomorrow at the beach.
"We could play some volleyball at the beach." I suggest. "of course with male/female teams"

(I'm thinking that Michael never did have any follow up conversation with Liz about what happened. He's thick enough to think his apology on the beach covered him for the whole 'kiss' incident. )

"That could work," I tell Kyle. Volleyball is always good when there are some bikini-clad girls on the other team. I bet Maria would look great playing with us, if she wanted to come along.
I can't help but wonder if I'm making a mistake being with her. I'd ask Kyle, but there's no way I'm gonna let myself look like a wuss in front of him. I'd talk to Liz, but she's been a bit distant the last couple days. I shrug. Maybe after she's been lubricated a bit, I can have a chat with her...
"Why don't you pick up some more food and we can have another barbeque in the evening," I suggest.

"Barbecue sounds good man." And of course I'm supposed to arrange it! "But I have a hot date with Isabel tomorrow." I add with a satisfied grin. That will surely rock, even if I momentary forgot about it.
"Or do you already have a date?" I can't help but ask since I'm pretty sure he doesn't have one.

"And more importantly, can you teach me a bit kickboxing? It's been a while since I last had some self defense lessons."
“Oh that would be fun,” I say clapping my hands together in excitement. I love kickboxing and the buzz that goes with it. There’s nothing like a good workout to make you feel alive. Maybe I could convince Alex to start jogging with me as well. I normally run every morning back home and I think I might start getting fat and lazy if I don’t get back into it. “I’m not an expert at it but I can show you a few different moves.”

“I’m not an expert at it but I can show you a few different moves.”
I'm silent after this, concentrating hard on repeating 'Must not think dirty! Must not think dirty! Must not think dirty! 'Must not think dirty! Must not think dirty! Must not think dirty! 'Must not think dirty! Must not think dirty! Must not think dirty! 'Must not think dirty! Must not think dirty! Must not think dirty!'
After saying it 30 times in my head, I'm confident to answer without drooling. "Cool!" I grin. I can feel dirty thoughts invading me again so I better continue! "But ... not that I want to sound like a song but ... I bruise easily so please, be gentle!"

Kyle's got a date with Isabel? With Isabel? He's kidding me, right? Not that Kyle's a total loser or anything, but Isabel is a major babe. How would he score a date with her? I kinda thought he was afraid of her, anyway.
I shrug it off like it's no big deal, but I can't help but take a look in her direction. I just may have to investigate this situation...
"Or do you already have a date?" Kyle asks.
"Sure, I have a date," I tell him, nearly growling. Maria's my date, ain't she? I mean, sure, I haven't actually asked her or anything. And we don't have any plans, but she'd come out with me I'm sure. ... Assuming I didn't meet anyone else out there on the beach.
"Does that mean you're not doing the barbeque, afterall?" I ask, trying to keep track of what he's talking about.

"No, I don't think that a barbecue in the afternoon when it's so horrible hot is that much fun." He has a date? Wow, I didn't know that. Must have hooked up with someone at work then.
"Maybe we can have the barbecue on Sunday, before we have to face work again." I suggest. Not that I really hate work but ... partying the night before going to work again sounds like fun.
OOC: are we going to continue this eveing till the gang gets home again?

I'm staring off into space, sipping my root beer, till I hear the words 'Tess' and 'Key Largo'. I turn my head in askance of who is talking about me, and I am presented with a smiling Max.
"I'm sorry, were you talking to me?" I ask him, not sure if I'm supposed to already know about this thing with Key Largo and me.
"No, I was just telling Kels here that we were thinking of taking a day-trip to Key Largo, or maybe even further down the Keys."
"We were?" When the heck were we planning to do that? I don't recall us having a conversation about going anywhere... okay, now I'm confused.
