Kyle
I'm carefully watching Tess but she doesn't seem angry so everything's fine and ... "Hmpf" I manage to get out when she hits me, unable to say more since my mouth is full of food.
"Hey!" I manage to get out after swallowing.
Alex
"SO have you talked to Isabel, since..." Tess asks and I can't really blame her for being curious. By the way she looks one second later, I guess that I didn't manage to look very cheerful when thinking about my Isabel-situation.
Have to work on my poker face!
I grin slightly when she hits Kyle - of course, I make sure that no one sees that grin. Then I grin some more when Tess says the pancakes are good. Who knows, maybe I should become a cook after all.
"Thanks, just don't think that from now on, I'll cook every morning." I tell Tess with a wink. "And about Isabel ... yeah, I guess we talked and ... Isabel needs some time to think about everything because unlike your believes, she really had no clue about my feelings so ... it's more than understandable that things are a bit weird for her right now."
Not to mention for me.

"Charming," I comment to Kyle teasingly as he tries to defend himself with his mouth full. And then I put my full attention back on Alex.
Weird for Isabel? Well, yeah, but it ahd to be more thna alittle weird for him too. He was always downplaying what was going on for him, especially if it made Isabel feel better.
I sighed slightly. And talk about feeling guilty. I could've sworn she knew. I mean we all knew. We all saw it. Crystal clear. How could she not know?
And before I knew what I was doing the words that really wouldn't mean anything came tumbling out of my mouth,"Alex, I'm really sorry."
I mean all of what everyone's feeling, it's kind of at least a little my fault. Which means it's a little my responsibility to try and make it better, right?
So I'm gonna have to try and talk to Isabel soon.
I know that if I suggest it, Alex will just rush and tell me not to. To leave it alone. So I need a new topic of conversation now. And, well...
"Max said he was gonna be down here for breakfast, has anyone seen him?" I ask Alex and Kyle. Okay, so shoot me, bringing up significant others to someone who just got their heart stomped on, is not nice. But, like I said, I was desperate for a topic change.

good part, Lily 
ALEX
I roll my eyes when Tess says she's sorry. What for? Me falling in love with Isabel? Her matchmaking not working so far? Isabel feeling a bit uneasy right now?
I'm about to tell her to forget about it when she mentions Max. Considering how close Liz and Max are standing together, she might feel a bit jealous - even though she probably has no reason for that. I'd probably feel jealous if I saw them like this.
"Oh, he's outside at the pool with Liz - telling her that Alex has finished making her pancakes." Kyle replies before I can say anything.
"Yeah, I offered her to make breakfast for her since she made cookies again and I sent Max out to get her." I add after a second.

Okay, jealousy isn't becoming of anybody, bite back the urge. I want to get uspet, and angry. It does hurt a little that he talked to me for a few short minutes and then came down here and went off to get Liz, who he seems to have dissappeared with.
But I really shouldn't worry. He doesn't seem the cheating type. And Liz, well Liz doesn't seem like someone to let herself be the other woman. And he does keep coming back to me. So, no reason to worry.
I'm not even going to look in their direction because then I'll probably have to give myself that whole entire peptalk all over again.
"Yeah," I say with a nod and a smile,"Max mentioned the cookies to me this morning...do there happen to be any left?"
And then I laugh softly as the situation really sinks in. Alex simply offered to make pancakes for Liz, to be nice. And here we are, making him be the kitchen slave all morning. "So you were only making pancakes for Liz? And somehow got roped into making everyone breakfast?"
He probably doesn't mind, but that almost makes it more humorous.

"So you were only making pancakes for Liz? And somehow got roped into making everyone breakfast?"
I grin at Tess' words. "Exactly! I'm feeling really used here." I joke. "No, seriously I don't mind and anyway, when those two are in here and Liz has her share, I'm off to take a quick shower and let someone else continue the cooking and especially the washing the dishes."
I quickly check the fridge and some other possible *cookie-hiding* places before turning back to Tess again, "Sorry, but I couldn't find cookies. But ... don't worry that doesn't mean a thing because for some reason, I seem to be labelled as the ice-cream and cookie stealer in here so Liz didn't tell me where she put the cookies."

OOC -- sorry for disappearing here. Great to see a Tess! -- although this is Sunday morning and she and Max spent the entire day together on Saturday so I'm not so sure about being 'distant' lately or not having long conversations. I believe she was already thinking about Kyle, before their trip to the Keys, too...
BIC --
*Max*
How did she take it?
"Um -- she was disappointed, of course, but she seemed okay. She wasn't there for the meltdown so it's all a bit easier when I could tell her it was already on its way to being sorted," I shrug.
I look up and realize that Tess has arrived in the kitchen. She smacks Kyle in the arm but she seems to be smiling. "... yeah. looks like things are okay by her," I say.
Stepping forward, I open the kitchen door and let Liz enter first. "I hope there are enough pancakes left for the morning swimmer," I say. Turning to Tess, I give her a welcoming smile. "Our Alex is a pretty good cook, wouldn't you say?"

Max explains that Tess took the news rather well, aside from the disappointment, and I can understand that. She was the one that wanted this matchmaking thing to really work out for the best. Was she the one to initiate it? Everything got so muddled in the rush to change Izzy’s opinion of Alex.
“Looks like things are okay by her,” Max says as he indicates inside the kitchen. I look and see Tess smiling and joking with Kyle over pancakes. He opens the door and waits for me to walk through. “I hope there are enough pancakes left for the morning swimmer,” I hear Max say as I move over to sit on a stool at the island closest to the stove.
“Our Alex is a pretty good cook, wouldn’t you say?” Max asks as he walks over to Tess at the breakfast nook. I turn my attention to Alex. The possibility of catching Max and Tess flirting with each other is high and not something that I'd like to see early in the morning.
“Oh! Strawberries!” It didn’t even occur to me to have strawberries with the pancakes. I rewrap the towel around myself and three pancakes topped with strawberries and whipped cream appear before me. Alex puts the plate down with a light flourish that makes me laugh. He hands me a fork and I take a bite.
“Alex,” I say around a mouthful of pancake. “If you keep this up, I think I just might fall for you,” I tease lightly with a wink and a smile.

Liz falling for Alex.
I hear it and I know she's kidding -- probably. But it still rips through me like a blade of ice. I thought she was interested in him from the first day. They both swear it wasn't true, but they do look okay together. What if it turns out that way, afterall? It's possible, right?
Does she have any idea how much it hurts to hear her say it? To know that she'll never be interested in me? I asked her. I asked her straight out and she said --
Aw, hell.
I turn my face away and manage to focus on Tess, giving her a random smile. I should get something to think about. More pancakes? No, I think I had enough. A change of topic? I can't even think. Maybe I should just ... go.
No, I'll stay and wait and try not to look like an idiot.

poor Max'n'Liz 
ALEX
I smile when Max and Liz enter the kitchen, then start grinning when Max compliments me ... or rather tells Tess what a grand cook I am. Noticing that Liz looks a bit uncomfortable with the M/T closeness, I quickly place a big plate in front of her.
"Bon Appetit, mademoiselle." I say with a light bow.
Ah good, she's smiling again - my job here is done.
“Alex, if you keep this up, I think I just might fall for you.”
"Promises, promises." I tease back, winking at her.
Putting a plate in front of Max too, I look around, "Everyone good? Can the poor kitchen slave be excused for a quick shower?"
