Chapter 11.
Charlie stood on the kitchen table smiling nervously.
He giggled as he scanned the room looking at all the people and all the different range of emotions.
His shaky voice struggled to impersonate a tone of authority.
Charlie looked towards Max first. He seemed to be the one who was suffering the most.
Max had slid down onto the floor. His hands were grasping his tousled black hair in frustration and total disbelief.
“O-Okay I think the first thing we need to do is to get organized.”
Max pulled one hand down to reveal one tired angered eye.
Cupid pulled some ‘hello my name is’ stickers from his sack and a bright red marker.
“Ok now …I seem to be having trouble with identifying all of you… so I have a great idea!”
Charlie’s eyes were wide with excitement as he nodded around room at everyone.
He was quite proud of himself as he stepped over Stan and wrote in big letters MAX.
He stuck it over the front pocket of Max’s dress shirt and smiled widely.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!”
Angie glanced over at Max and whispered through gritted teeth.
“Max! Watch your language! He’s from …
She pointed up to the sky and giving him the you're talking to loud in church look.
Max just stared off into the distance shaking his head.
Next was Liz. Charlie held out the sticker and moved it all around turning bright red. The negligee left little room for the big yellow sticker.
“Try it and die you winged freak!”
“Ok well I guess it's just fine if you hold your sticker.”
He backed away and right into Angie. Who was smiling ear to ear thinking that cupid had done all of this to bring her together with Max.
“It’s Angela” she said eagerly waiting for her sticker.
Trish held her finger up in the air to protest.
“Actually no one calls you Angela… write Angie cupid boy”
Cupid crossed out Angela and began to write Angie when Kathy chimed in.
“If you want to be totally accurate everyone calls her Ang”
“Well not everyone” Heidi interrupted.
“Hmm since you seemed to be giving it away maybe I’ll be calling you to my bed tonight legs”
“JACK!”
“Seriously why does everyone keep yelling at me!! I was only joking!! Geez would I really hit on another woman with my girlfriend in the room?”
Dead silence fell over the apartment as all eyes rolled in Jack’s direction.
Loosing his collar Jack strolled over to the fridge and took a beer out and cooled his brow.
He redirected the attention back over to cupid as he choked out his next words.
“Hey weren’t you in the middle of something secretary midget?’
“Yes I was”
Charlie raised an eyes brow as he slapped “Jack” onto his collar. He didn’t approve of his ways with woman and he was determined to change all that. Which led him right to the brown haired beauty Kristin.
She stood with her arms folded and her brows furrowed doing her best to analyze the situation.
“Is Kris ok?”
“If you must put one of those things on me it’s Kristin not Kris”
“Okaaaay”
Charlie lightly attached the sticker to the bottom of her shirt and quickly moved on to the tall brooding handsome man that stood in the corner just staring at the floor,
Charlie tugged on his sleeve breaking him out of his broken hearted daze.
“So you must be Tom”
“Ya think!”
“Yep! You’re Tom!”
Quickly plastering Tom’s identification on his belt Charlie resumed his place back on the table.
“Okay now that I know exactly who all of you …
“Wait just a second!”
Trish held her hand up as if she was in class.
“What about us? Don’t we get to wear a cool name tag?”
“CAN WE PLEASE JUST GET ON WITH THIS!!’
Max was now pacing the floor unable to look at either Liz or his best friend…or Tom for that matter.
Trish stepped back and took the beer bottle from Jack’s hand and took a long sip.
Charlie cleared his throat as he began to proceed.
“Ok first I need Angela . I mean Angie- I mean An-
“Oh my god what is wrong with you! Ang please go over to him!”
Max was now wringing his hands together as Angie made her way over to Charlie dreamingly gazing at Max the whole way.
“Ok this is how it's going to work. I’m going to call each of you in the bedroom on at a time until we fix all this.”
Charlie flew up into the air and held his hand towards the opened door smiling warmly at Angie.
As they disappeared into the bedroom shutting the door behind them Tom swung around at everyone.
“Will someone please tell me what is going on here!”
“I will!”
“No no no Jack. Not you!” The three nurses promptly pulled Jack into the kitchen and away from trembling Tom.
Tom’s eyes were full of pain and confusion as he directed his attention to Max.
“I trusted you! I respected your friendship with her and I never interfered! How could you do this Max! I love her!”
“I love you too Tom!!!”
All eyes flew to the opened bedroom door as Angie opened her arms and ran into her fiancée’s arms.
“Awwww!” The three nurses cried out in unison as they passed a bottle of wine back and forth they had found left over from their romantic dinner.
Suddenly Stan started to come to and stumbled to his feet.
“Charlie! Oh my god !!”
Stan looked around at all the people who were forbidden to lay eyes on them and began to panic.
He ran over to Charlie and started pulling him towards the door.
“No! It’s working Stan. Look Angie’s cured!”
Stanley ignored him. All he could do was concentrate on the consequences of his insane actions.
“No!! Stanley wait I’m not done!”
“Oh yes you ar-
Clunk!
“Jack!”
Everyone stood in shock as Jack held the cast iron frying pan in his hand.
“What?! I did a good thing right? Chuck said he wasn’t done. Someone had to step in a and do something! It’s not my fault I’m the only one man enough to do it!”
“Is he dead?”
Heidi stood over him with her hand up to her mouth.
“Heidi he’s an angel he can’t die”
Kathy slammed the wine bottle down on the counter and ran over to him.
“How do you know angels can’t die? Exactly how many have you known Heidi?”
“He’s fine…he’s fine. Now where were we. Oh yeah who’s next Charles?”
Charlie looked over at Liz and Max who were standing at different ends of the room looking very unhappy.
“Max? Will you come with me?”
Max quickly looked over at Charlie and glanced at Liz.
“Come on Max! You were so close! Get this over with so you can finally get a piece of that fine ass!”
Everyone’s mouth dropped except for Jack’s who was too busy holding his head in pain.
It was now Kristin who was wielding the frying pan around.
“What is wrong with you!”
“What?! He loves her! It’s all good! Max you love her right?”
The silence was deafening as all eyes fell on Max.
Liz’s swollen red eyes slowly lifted to meet his sincere sensitive amber sweet gaze.
“With all my heart”
