Chapter 12
Two weeks later Max was still as depressed as ever, the day that Liz walked out on him without letting him explain nearly killed him. Waking up with the biggest hangover ever he promised himself then and there he would never drink again, though he was sorely tempted when he heard that Liz had gone away from Boston for a couple of days. And then when she came back, no matter what he did Liz refused to speak to him. He would call; he would wait for her outside. He sent her flowers, chocolate, teddies. But Liz didn’t want to know. Serena and Kyle refused to allow him into The Tavern; he even had his account suspended.
“Maxwell are you okay mate?”
Max looked up from his desk at Michael
“Yeah…”
“You thinking about her again.”
“Yeah…”
“So you haven’t seen her yet?”
“No Michael I haven’t!” cried Max in frustration.
“AH FUCK!”
“Maxwell?!”
“Sorry Michael I’m just pissed off and frustrated! The one person I want to speak to won’t. The one person I don’t want to speak to keeps ringing me. I told Tess its over but she still keeps hounding me. She rings me all the time. She keeps leaving answer phone messages begging me to take her back.”
“DAMN THAT BITCH!”
“Yeah!”
“I really want to talk to Liz but she won’t give me the time off day. I miss her like crazy. I only knew her for a few hours…”
“But you fell hard. Max I’m sorry this was my fault.” Michael scowled.
“How many times do I have to tell you to stop apologising? I would have rather had those couple of hours than nothing at all…”
“Yeah but if I hadn’t decided to play cupid, I knew as soon as I saw Liz she was perfect that’s why I decided to drag you to The Tavern. I kinda wish I hadn’t!”
“I don’t regret it Michael. Don’t worry about it. I will get to speak to Liz… somehow…”
“Do you have plan?”
“No not at the moment” Max replied leaning back in chair in defeat.
Michael didn’t say anything, they sat in silent.
“I wonder what she’s doing right now…”

Across from town at The Tavern Liz wasn’t fairing any better. Her emotions were out of whack. She had spent last night throwing up. The doctor told her it was stress. She couldn’t stop crying. She couldn’t do her job properly. Her bedroom was full of me to you blue nose bear teddies that Max had sent her. The chocolate; she had left in reception for the customers. The flowers were also put elsewhere because the smell made her sick.
The biggest thing was she missed him so much, even though she should hate him. She kept thinking back to their night together, their love making. She kept thinking back to when she had met Max. She knew she should have let him explain but she didn’t think she could cope with what he would say.
“Lizzie are u okay?” Serena asked stepping into the office with Kyle.
Liz nodded trying to stem her tears from starting.
“Are u sure you want to do this late shift? Can u cope? Samuel and Paulie are on the door tonight.”
“Umm huh! Yeah… I’ll be fine!”
Kyle stepped forward and pulled her into a hug. “Lizzie-bear why don’t you let Lydia do the shift?”
“No…” cried Liz not wanting to intrude on their date.
She tried to attempt a smile. She just wanted to them to leave.
“…It’s okay. You go ahead.” Whispered Liz
“Lizzie sweetie how you getting home?” asked Serena, worrying about how her best friend getting home.
“Umm… bus…”
“Lizzie no! You know you haven’t been feeling very well. Please for me get a taxi.”
“…Okay I will…”
“Are u sure you okay?”
Liz nodded eagerly just wanting them to leave. They hugged her and left, Lizzie waiting a few minutes before sinking to the chair.
She took a couple of deep breathes to control her nerves.
She looked at the client list. She only had three people tonight. Two women and one man; in that order. Kelee Matthews was a regular; Diane Tanna and Blake Wood were both new. The man was last on the list which she was uncomfortable about. She didn’t like attending to newbies, especially men in the evening. She would have to mention to Samuel to keep an eye out. Do a regular walk down the corridor…
Chapter 13
Liz had just finished with her second client and was taking a quick breather in her office. There was a knock Timothy entered.
“Lizzie your next client is here.”
“Oh…”
“You ok?” asked Timothy who was also worried about his boss.
“You don’t look to good. Are you sure you don’t want me to tell the client to go?”
Liz looked up. Timothy was a 19 year old who was working at The Tavern for a bit more extra money to help with uni. He was currently a swimming coach and also helped Kyle with his physio cases
“No Timmy you get yourself home. Haven’t you got a mock exam tomorrow afternoon?”
“Uh huh! But…”
“No buts go home! It’s a quiet night. Apart from this client everyone including customers has gone home.”
“But Serena said…”
“No Timmy, I’m your boss as well and I’m sending you home.”
“Ok okay… but make sure you get a taxi home. I’ll mention it to Samuel.”
Liz smiled as she got up and walked Timothy out.
She stopped off at the security station where she went to stop off to say hello to Samuel and Paulie. There were also two on duty, one manning the desk whilst the other took a walk. There were a total of 5 men including Kyle who took shifts.
“Hey Miss Lizzie!” called out Paulie. “You okay!”
“Yeah!” replied Liz giving them a timid smile.
“Hello Paulie. Will you stop calling me Miss I’m not much older than you…”
Samuel who was old enough to be her dad laughed at him.
“He can’t help it Lizzie leave him be!” chuckled Samuel with a Father Christmas laugh.
“I’ll see you in an hour!” waved Liz
“No I’ll be popping my head in about 10mins!”
Liz walked apprehensively towards the second massage room. She opened the door and walked in but saw no one there. Weird. She shivered nervously maybe she should go and get Samuel.
She turned to leave in the room when she bumped into a naked chest. She reached her hand to stop herself banging into him. He reached out to steady her.
“Liz!”
“Max!”
TBC????
