~~~
Max was really annoyed. Today was meant to be a good day today but he could work because he couldn’t concentrate. “Tess pissing you off huh?”
Max swung his chair round to see his best friend and colleague grinning at him. He frowned at Michael. “It’s not even her any more. Its mom and Isabel as well they’re both moaning at me to propose as well!”
“Let me guess Tess has been ramming it down their throats and has brainwashed them as well. She’s an alien who’s abducted them! Man Max didn’t I tell you she’s evil! You can’t marry her!”
Michael was now laughing his head off at his own joke, which of course Max didn’t see the funny side of. It wasn’t a laughing matter. It was strange to think of course that he been in a relationship with Tess for nearly 3 years. It had started of with them knowing mutual friends. She was blonde and petite with big perky breast. And of course she may look blonde and sometimes she acted like a bimbo however this wasn’t the case because the majority of the time she used the brain that she was given. She was a prosecutor in fact. And what Tess wanted Tess got! But this time Max wasn’t sure if he wanted to give into Tess’s demands. If anything Maria Deluca who was Michael’s girlfriend hated Tess, She thought she was too conniving and bitchy; all too manipulative for Maria’s liking. It was Maria who was constantly telling Max he could do better.
“What’s up Maxwell? Talk to Uncle Mickey about your problems.”
“Have you ever thought that my love life was destined to be more than Tess? I mean honestly what do think of Tess as a wife?”
“Honestly Maxwell! You know me well enough to know that well it comes to your love life I never say anything. Heck Maria says enough for both of us!”
It was an ongoing joke that Maria and Michael acted like a married couple even though they weren’t married. Maria tended to wear the trousers in the relationship and she always had her say. They were in love but their relationship was fiery to say the least. Max thought back to when they were younger. Maria was the kid at school in Boston. Max, Michael and Isabel who were all age 8 were playing ball; Maria had been watching with curiosity. They hadn’t asked her to join in because it had always just been the three of them. But Maria being the boisterous child that she was hadn’t cared. She wanted them to be her friends and she was going to make them. HAHA as Max remembered little hurricane Deluca run towards Michael and stole the ball. This of course made little Michael angry and he gave chase. Max and Isabel laughed at their antics but Michael being Michael had caught up with her and took back his ball. But not without pulling at one of Maria’s pig-tails, Max and Isabel looked on shocked because Maria looked like she was about to cry; which in turn turned Michael into a pile of nerves. He looked around at Max and Isabel with a look of panic… but thank god Maria didn’t cry (Michael was off the hook) instead she said sorry.
Sorry for what I hear you thinking. No not sorry for taking the ball. Oh no she was apologising in advance for what she was about to do. She swung her fist at a shocked Michael and punched him squarely on the nose. “Ow you punched me!” cried the little Michael.
“Yeah and you pulled my hair!”
“Yeah but I only tugged it a little!”
“IT still hurt!” Didn’t your mama tell you never to pick on girls?” Maria retorted whilst sticking her touch out.
Little Michael stared at her thunder-struck, lost for words. He held his nose as he rubbed it. Thank god it wasn't bleeding but it was still very sore. But Michael saw the light; the errors of his ways because he began to feel very bad. “Look ok I’m sorry! Sorry! Hey… do… you wanna join us?”
Maria nodded a big yes and grinned at Max and Isabel who both smiled at their new friend. She then squealed as she took again with the ball with Michael giving chase with Isabel joining in. Maria from then became integrated in the group, she was the girly girl that Isabel needed and a good friend to shy Max cause she kept the girls away during high school. Tess was the only one who didn't care what Deluca said and in the end Max gave in. Anyway back to the story.
"But what Michael? I hear a but."
"She's bit o and p!"
"Which means what exactly?" frown Max trying to figure what Michael was muttering about.
"You know obsessive and possessive! I don't know why you're still with her plus there's the fact she stresses you. Answer me this one question do u really love her enough to marry her?"
Max had thought long and hard about Tess; and to tell you and to tell you the truth Max had always thought he would fall long and hard for a girl who would be his soul mate. Someone who was kind, sweet, giving, funny, intelligent; basically everything Tess wasn't. His dream girl had a natural air and beauty about her. They would have that immediate connection. Love, attraction, seduction that didn’t fade… Long-lasting; Max could imagine being in love with her, marry her having kids. Having a healthy love life; Just the thought of himself dreaming of unbuttoning her skirt send his brain into overdrive. Of course she was a figure of his imagination and reality was he was stuck with Tess.
Maybe he hadn’t look in the right places, but after years of searching Max had given up hope. Tess happened to be there the right place right time. "Do you think I should settle for Tess?"
"What?! Of course not. Me I personally think Tess is good for one thing and one thing only."
Max looked at Michael and knew immediately what he was talking about.
"Maxwell I personally always pictured you with a brown hair girl!"
"Yeah well I've yet to meet her!" muttered Max to himself more than anything.
After a couple of minutes silence Michael spoke up. "Tess is so spoilt sometimes no all of the time. She takes and takes and Max you let her. No wonder you're stressed at work as well at home!"
"Hmmm..." muttered Max in frustration.
"Hey Max I know!" smiled Michael. "I've got a brilliant idea!"
Michael had a big grin and Max knew he shouldn’t ask or get involved, because whenever Michael had a half cocked idea Max always ended up in trouble.
Max found a piece shoved under his nose. "Here read it!"
Max read it with curiosity and laughed when he got to the end of the leaflet. "Are you serious?!"
"Look they're legit. They've just opened; Maria took me there two weeks ago. They have a hot spa, sauna, massage and lots of other things you could try. It’s owned by two females who know what they're doing."
Max re-read the flyer. 'The Tavern' 'The place to get away to... Relax peace and calm. Detox the mind as well as the body.'
"So are you up for it?"
Michael didn’t get an answer. "Yo Max?"
Oh what the hell what was the worse could happen.
