CHAPTER 1
LIZ P.O.V
" Liz" Maria shouts straight into my ear.
"What" i say just in time to see her coming into the backroom with a tray of plates.
"i need you to do me the biggest favour" she say while placing the tray on the sink for me to wash ... like i would.
"What" i say rolling my eyes, lets just say this is not the first time she has asked me for a favour... no, unfortunately there was that time back in high school when Ben Shepard, captin of the football team kept hitting on her and she was too shy to go and say " Fuck Off " so of course being the best friend that i am i had to do it.
Lets just say Mr. Brayon, my year 12 english teacher wasn't so fond of my new language ... 3 weeks detention.
"Liz are you even listening to me?" Maria screams while looking at me in a weird way.
NO ... i wanna say but decide to save myself the headache.
" Yes, what is the favour you so desperately need from me?" I say once again deciding to be sarcastic.
" Well, seen your parents are going out on the weekend i just thought ... "
"Thought what?" i say cuting in, i love the girl but sometimes she can get on my nerves.
" Well, iwannahaveaparty " she says so fast a normal person would not be able to understand, but me ... well lets just say i'v known the girl since i was 3 and i know everything.
" NO WAY MARIA " i shout at the top of my lungs.
" Come on Liz you finally get the house all to yourself, you have to do this, for me" she says and does puppy dog eyes, but i can see behind them. i see the evil that lies beneath.
" NO" i say.
There is no way i can have a party here ... even if i wanted to.
I mean i'm 21 years old and i still live with my parents, might i add IN A ALEN THEMED RESTAURANT. Did you just say patetic... well i know.
I tried my best to get into university but you see something happend and i guess it scared me for life ... well i droped out in the last days of year 12 and never looked back.
" Lizzzzzzzz PLEASE " I turn from the counter in the backroom kitchen and look at her... I mean honestly what does she think the fake tears are gonna do ... NOTHING.
I grab my order pad and leave the kitchen, going through the swinging door and into the restaurant.
I look behind me and see Maria still following me and think ... WILL THAT GIRL EVER GIVE UP.
I hear the jingle of the bells and know that theres a costomer, i turn around and i am shocked.
" Wow" i say under my breath just as Maria comes up behind me.
"You can say that again" she mumbles to me as i continue to look at the gorgeous young man who just sat down at booth 5.
" Well, i'll take spiky over there, but you can have mister tall, dark and handsom" says maria as she strides over to their table doing her best cat walk.
I snap out of my daze to see mister tall, dark and handsom looking my way. He smiles and i melt ... 'God he is sooooo sexy' I think to myself as i make my way over to their booth praying that i didn't just say that aloud.
" Why thankyou, you not to bad yourself" says his friend who is checking out Maria and turned to wink at me.
I freeze ... Oh My God, i did just say that aloud.
I stop in front of them and look over to spiky ( as Maria called him ... i guess it suit him, i mean he has brown hair and it is spiked up asif he just got electrocuted ).
" H-hi, can i t-take your order?" i ask like an idiot who doesn't know how to speak.
" My names Michael, but you can call me Mikey" he say while looking at Maria and licking his lips.
I turn to see Maria blushing like a idiot and i fell grateful that i am not alone in this world.
" So what can i get you Michael?" I say once i find my voice.
" How about a number?" he saiy still looking at Maria who was now turning purpal.
I turn to see mister tall, dark and handsom looking at me again.
He blushes and says "Sorry bout my friend, his sick ... literally".
He rolls his eyes and then focuses on me again only to see me blushing and sighing.
'Not only is he extremly gorgeous but his voice is soo sexy' i think and then realise i just said it out aloud.
I see Maria looking at me with a ' hahahaha' look on her face and i make a note to remember to kill her later.
" I like your voice too" he says and i turn around stund.
" Hey Maxwell, we gotta go" Michael say while looking at his watch.
I see Marias disappointed look and turn to her with the same expression.
Just when the're about to leave Maria say " Why don't you guy come back saturday night at around 7 o'clock" she says looking at me
" We're having a party and it should be fun, maybe you could bring your friends with you ... you know?" Maria says all while smiling and being calm while i am a nervous wreck.
" Sure sounds like fun " Michael say looking at Max ( as he called him before ... which i think is a perfect name for a perfect guy )
" Yeah, we'll be there" Max says looking in my direction and i suddenly feel a cold chill ran down my spin.
" So i guess i'll see you later" Max says as Michael drags him away.
" Yeah, i guess " i wisper under my breath.
I turn around to see Maria with a smile on her face and i'm guessing its because of the 'party' i'm having.
' What am i going to do ??? '

CHAPTER 2
MAX P.O.V
I woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing in my ear … god I hate Michael for suggesting to get one.
Michael … his my best friend and if you’d ask I would say we’re more like family.
I’ve known him since I was 5 years old. His always been like the little brother I never had. The thing I love about the kid is that he doesn’t care that I’m rich and he didn’t care that my father was a total bastard.
My father … now there is one word I never want to say ‘FATHER’.
The thing about my dad is the money got to his head, but every kid loves his father… right.
Sometimes I think the only thing keeping me from ever seeing him again is my older sister Isabel, my dear mother and my job.
Yep that’s right I work in his million dollar company.
Sometimes I wish we weren’t as rich as we are maybe then I could have a normal relationship with a girl, and know that I don’t have to be worried that my bank book is going to go increasingly down.
My last relationship was about a year ago … yeah I know ridiculous, but what is even more ridiculous is that it was arranged but my father.
You see one of his ‘billion-dollar clients’, Ed Harding has a daughter and unfortunately I was too blind to know that she was a ‘ money- hungry Bitch’ … the first time I saw her my dad told me to get close to her and I did, but I fell for while she fell head-over-heels for a another guy.
Who … lets just say my cousin Kyle. That’s right don’t trust anyone.
If you saw me on the street you would think that I’m a rich millionaire with everything in the world … but I’m missing something and that’s love.
‘RING RING’
The sound of the phone ringing breaks my thoughts. And I roll over my king- size bed and lift my pillow over my head wishing whoever it is would just hang up.
“Maxwell, wake up” I hear Michael shouting.
Damn, I hate answering machines…
“MAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”
I lean over and grab the cordless phone.
“What do you want Michael” I say still trying to wake up.
“Just wanted to call and make sure we’re still going tonight, you know to the party that those hotties invited us to” he says and I swear I can see the grin on his face.
When we left that café ‘The Crashdown’ the other day, he couldn’t wipe the smile off of his face. All week he has been looking forward to it, even if he doesn’t say it.
I saw the way he was looking at that blond, and I have never seen that look before, even when he and Isabel were dating for a little while … might I add that it was very weird to see my sister with my best friend.
But its all cool now they decided to be friends … ‘THANK GOD’.
But all week long I haven’t been able to remove the thought of the cute brunette that kept saying her thoughts … I have never felt this way before and I am so glad that they invited us to the party tonight, so I can see her again … and maybe this time get her name and number.
“MAXXXX, are you even listening to me?” Michael begins to shout into the phone.
“Yes, I am and yes we are still going tonight.” I say as I put my thoughts of the very sexy brunette aside.
“Great, so you can cancel your meeting and pick me up at 6 o’clock” he says and I almost die … ‘My meeting’
“Ohh no, Michael I gotta go” I say as I hang up, while Michael is still trying to talk to me.
‘I have to go to work and cancel the meeting’
