For those who read A time to forgive, i'll update that fic in a few days.
Chapter 10
Max entered in Jake's office. He knew that the director was upset, Liz certainly told him about his behavior lately and he prefered to sit quietly and wait for the attack coming soon.
Jake- She treats you of monkey! and G-d helps me, she's right.....how dare you?? how dare you to behave like this, you hurt her...How could you throw her out of your car, she'd have been wounded? Did you fall on your head?
Saying that, he realised that he used the same words that Liz used for himself. But he was really furious against Max.
Max- A monkey? Why a monkey?
Jake- I don't know why and i don't care. All i care is you and your unbearable behavior with Liz. How dare you? Do you think that, because of your reputation, you have all the rights? You know Max, a star could fall as easily as she rose. I think that you forgot that.
Max- Did she tell you that i apologized when we were in your office. I've tried...hard...but she refused to hear me.
Jake- Try to understand why! Even if you were upset, furious against her, you had no right to throw her out of your car, you would have to behave like a gentleman and lead her here where you intended to come, both. What do we have for the moment? Two lead actors unable to talk one to another.....GREAT! Really great!
Max- I'm sorry, Jake.
Jake- I don't care of your sorry...That's not me you hurt, that's Liz! and believe me you'll have to apologize again and again for what you did to her. Geez, you threw her out of your car? Do you understand what that means? Even an animal, you don't have the right to do it let alone a woman!
Max- What do you want from me now? Ok, i made a big mistake, it's done! Do i have to take a rope and to hang me for you and Liz be happy and leave me alone? I'm here to discuss about a film....
Jake- Yes, but you have to be a man, not a monkey.....geez, she's right!
Max- Did she tell you that i confessed my feelings for her...i told her that i was in love with her and even that, she didn't want to hear...
Jake- I'm sorry for you...You should have to tell her that before throwing her out of your car!
Max- I did....a lot. Yesterday and the day before....She didn't believe me. What can i do? Grovelling at her feet? I almost did it and that was not enough....
Jake- What happened between you when you were in that school?
Max- We were friends.....
Jake- More than that...you didn't know, Liz too, that i came one day to see you and all the students of the school. I saw you and Liz acting and i saw that incredible chemistry between you...That was, and i think it's still valid today, indeniable. Max when you and Liz are in the same room something happens, and i'm not talking about that quarrel. That's the reason i keep wanting to work with both of you.
Max- Jake, when we were in that school, she never let me the chance to be more than a friend, i had a crush on her and the only thing she was interesting in was acting...learning to be a good actress on the stages. That was all...Now that i found her again, i understood that i loved her....
Jake- WHAT??
Max- I love her and she knows it. I've told her. She didn't believe me, she thinks that i'm trying to manipulate her.
Jake- When you were in that school, did you tell her your feelings for her?
Max- No, i've seen that she was not caring about me, we were friends, we were hanging out like friends that's all.
Jake- And you never did something which made her untrust you?
Max- I was young and i wanted that people love me....i dated a lot of girls, i was what people call a player. I didn't care about the girls i was dating, i wanted Liz to notice me otherwise than a friend.
Jake- Max, i understand Liz's point of view...I'm sure she has feelings for you, i don't know if she loves you but there is something. But, she doesn't trust you, and your behavior lately has screwed up the last chance you have to make her change her mind about you. You've been a real jerk! She is sensitive, she needs someone to make her feel that she's special...
Max- She is special for me, Jake. I love her....i've told that i could give up everything for her....
Jake- You have a girlfriend yes? Did you break up with her?
Max- She's not really my girlfriend
Jake- Break up with her if you want to have a chance with Liz.
Max- Did she agree to shoot the film?
Jake- She agreed with one condition....if she's unable to play the lovemaking scenes, i stop them. That's the deal i offered her. Max, i don't want you to ruin that project so you're going to promise to leave her alone.
Max- Another deal?
Jake- I have your promise?
Max- OK...i promise until the romantic scenes...
Jake- What do you mean?
Max- We'll have some romantic scenes, i read...i'll be compelled to kiss her......
Jake- Don't tell me that you're annoyed to kiss Liz!
Max- Of course not! that's why i told you, until those scenes.
Jake- Max, i'm not going to teach you what's a kiss in a film....i'm sure you know that it's not real. Don't begin to mess everything! i won't tolerate that either.
Max- Jake, i know my job, don't worry....
Actually, Max was hoping that, under cover of those scenes, Liz will forget their quarrel and maybe forgive him. He'll do his best to get her back, even if since now he didn't have her. Thinking about what Jake told him, he admitted that he'll have to break up with Tess and the sooner he'll do it, the sooner he'll be free to woo to Liz.
Jake- Max, i want to shoot, next month...i want you and Liz in my office next monday and i count on you to fix things with her by then. Go to her hotel, grovel if you have to do it, after all you messed things with her..I want you here both and friends next monday. My secretary will call you to fix the hour of the rendez vous.
Max- Ok, i'll do it...i've no pride when it comes to Liz and my love for her.
Jake- Please to hear that! don't forget that you promised to leave her alone so do it soft......Bye Max, see you on monday.
Max- Bye Jake.
Jake- Oups....with all those problems, i forgot to tell Liz about the rendez vous. Could you call her or if you see her before monday, you could tell her?
Max- It's a trap? Are you compelling me to see her before monday?
Jake- I've no time to discuss further but it seems to me that you should go and try to fix things with her before monday, right? It's not a trap and yes, you're compelled to do it.
Max- It's not worth to be famous if i have to be treated like this by a director! (laughs)
Jake- Out of my office Max, you have a lot to do, you should begin at once.
Chapter 11
After that meeting, Max returned to his house, thinking about his quarrel with Liz. He didn't want to go and see her now, he was sure that she'll throw him out of her room and he won't bear her a grudge.
He decided to call Tess, he needed to talk to her too, and the sooner he'll do it, the sooner it'll be possible for him to show to Liz his good intentions.
Tess- Helllooo?
Max- Tess, it's me Max.
Tess- MAAAXX, i'm so happpy to heeaar you hooneey! I missssed yoouu!
Max- Hum, yeah....Tess, i'm home, could come here?
Tess- Of coouuurse hooneeey, i'll be theerre in a feew minuts...I caann't waait to seee yoou hooneey!
Max- Ok, then. See you
He hung up before she could reply. Hearing her whining like this made him get on his nerves......How could he bother her since so long, he was certainly in lack of company to bear her voice....."be honest Max, you used her for sex cause she's a good lay, that's all." The truth is that he never paid attention to her voice or anything else concerning Tess, all what he want from her was sleeping with her, and as she agreed with that!
Now that Liz was back, he couldn't stand to stay with Tess anymore, he told her that he wanted to break up with her and she didn't tolerate to see him used her for sex even if she never saw Tess. She was shocked. But Max was determined to break up, although he knew that it won't be easy. Tess was a spoiled little girl who didn't bear to lose something or someone she considered as hers, and Max was not so idiot to ignore that she was considering him like hers, that she was using him for her career.
A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts, he sighed. The door was not completely opened than Tess jumped in his arms and kissed him. He tried to untie her arms from his neck and pulled her away....
Max- Tess....please...
Tess- Maaxx, i misssed yoouu soooo muuch, hooneey!
Max- Tess, please come in and take a seat...and, don't be offensed, but stop playing....
Tess- WHAAT?
Max- When you talk, stop whining and playing...that's me.....Max...we can talk normally, i'm sure you're able to do it.
Tess- I'm not whiiiinning....
Max- Tess!
Tess- Okayy! i'll try..
Max- Thank you... Do you want something to drink?
Tess- Yeah, the same than you..
Max was pleased to see that she stopped whining, they'll be able to talk now and he hoped that she'll accept the break up. While he was serving the drinks, he looked at her. What a difference with Liz!
Tess was wearing a short black skirt and a tight red shirt which didn't hide anything from her breast. Tess liked to show her body outrageously, and her because of her short height, she was always wearing high heels. And her hair! when he thought about Liz's, Tess's curls made her look like a doll....
"That's funny, before i didn't pay attention to her look, i was with her, we went to the events, the restaurants and of course we were sleeping together, and now, the only thing i want is to make her out of my life....Liz, what did you do to me?"
Max- Here.
She took the glass and looked at him wondering why he told her to come in the morning, he didn't get used to do it. She let him take his time to talk. She was surprised to see him hesitating to talk, as if he has something important to say and he didn't know where to begin.
Max looked up and smiled.
Max- I'm sure you wonder why i've asked you to come here so early
Tess- A little, but it's a real pleasure to be here with you, believe me.
Max- Thank you. Tess, if i asked you to come, that's because we need to talk..
Tess- Talk?? You don't get used to talk when we are together! What do you want to talk about?
Max- About us....We're friends..
Tess- I would say that we're more than friends!
Max- You're right....we're sleeping together.....And that's what about i'd like to talk...I'm like using you, Tess, and it's not fair....you deserve someone who really loves you...
Tess- I don't care if you don't love me. You're not using me, i like to sleep with you...I know i'm not the only one you sleep with and i've some other guys me too.
Max- Tess, i need more than that...
Tess- You want a real relationship?
Max- Yes....But not with you.
Tess- What do you mean, not with me?
Max- Look, we're adults, we can talk openly?
Tess- Of course!
Max- Great.......Tess, i'm in love with another woman and i want us to break up...
Tess- ............................................................................
Max- Tess?...........Did you hear what i said?
She nodded without a word...."Of course she heard, that jerk wanted to break up with her because he was in love with another woman. Which other woman? Did he find a whore who played the big game with him and he fell for her?......Tess, my girl, think quietly before answering! He has no right to reject me like this, we were together since long and he's mine.....ok, he could sleep with some other whore, but they always were together, and she had no intention to stop that..."
Max- Tess? I know, you didn't expect that from me but it happened...
Tess- In love with another one? Do i know her?
Max- I don't think so....
Tess- You don't want to tell who is she?
Max shook his head to say no and he saw anger shining in her blue eyes.. He knew that it'd be hard to break up with Tess but he was determined to do it....and right now.
Tess- You are scared that i make a scandal?
Max- Tess, we don't need a scandal....We can break up and stay good friends.
In fact, Max has no intention to continue to see her even as a friend, he needed to end totally that affair, but he saw that if he acted like a gentleman with her, she could create troubles in his life, in his job. Even if she didn't work a lot, she knew too much people in the cinema industry, he was not scared of her but he didn't want any troubles.
Tess- That's it, huh? You don't need me anymore so you throw me out of your life, and you ask me to leave you alone in your little happyness, right? That's what you want? Listen, i'm not the kind of girl who stays if someone didn't want her, but let me tell you, my dear Max, that you didn't finish to hear about me!
Max- What do you mean?
Tess- Nothing more than i said. OK, i'm leaving now. I won't say that that was a pleasure to see you, i didn't really expect that, but don't worry, you'll hear about me soon.
And without letting him time to reply, she left.
TBC.......if you want it
