I can't help but smirk as Maria ignores Michael's generous offer, although I do my best to hide it. Maybe she'll change her mind later. After all, Michael is right. The seat next to him would have a better view of the movie than the chair she's in.
Then Isabel comes down, looking very nice. I'm surprised and pleased when she actually sits on the floor between Alex and Liz. I can't hear all of the banter she's sharing with those two, especially Alex, but it seems like all the reports were understated. These two seem to have become VERY comfortable with each other.
It's enough to make a guy believe in miracles. Miracles like figuring out why the rose upset Liz and how to get her to act like a friend around me again. But clearly that isn't something I can discuss during the movie. I'll have to find a more private time, if I can.
"The cookies are fantastic, Liz," I praise her. Yeah, I helped bake them, too, but it was her idea, after all. "And the ice cream is a great idea, too."
I scoop a little ice cream into two bowls, add a spoon to each, and take them back to the divan to share with Tess.

This is short and kinda blah.
Isabel
“Careful Missy, after all, I could still have some handcuffs left from then and might use them if necessary.” Alex whispers menacingly. I bite back a smile at the idle threat.
“Oh officer, I don’t think there will be any need for handcuffs,” I say sweetly as I flutter my eyelashes innocently. “I promise I’ll be good. Cross my heart!” I eye the tub of chocolate ice cream, which Alex has managed to keep all to himself. I lean over him and grab the ice cream. “Although sometimes bad is better!”

ALEX
“Oh officer, I don’t think there will be any need for handcuffs I promise I’ll be good. Cross my heart!"
Thank God she wasn't offended by my remark about the handcuffs and didn't think that I'm some pervert. She does look very innocent when she's fluttering her eyelashes in that sexy way. If she hadn't called me dumbass a few hours ago I'd think she'd be flirting. But no, we are only *friends*.
Suddenly, she leans over, brushing against me and grabs the ice cream. “Although sometimes bad is better!” She grins at me when she got it into her possession and eats something.
Swallowing, I look away from her after I watched her lips for a moment while she devoured my ice cream. "You are lucky that today is my day off. Otherwise, you might be having problems."
What the hell? I'm joking about Officer Thong Boy! I never do that! Something is deeply wrong with me. I wonder if there's something in the water in this house that makes people do crazy things.
Deciding that the battle for the ice cream isn't over yet, I reach for it so I can move the tube closer to me again where it belongs. "But don't think that you'll just get to eat all of my ice cream, Iz."

Oh, Alex and Izzy are just too cute. And Alex's Lizzy-beth is just hopeless. ::laughs::

“And the ice cream is a great idea too,” Max praises, and I find myself smiling.
“Thanks. But it wasn’t anything much. It was nice of you guys to pick up the videos.”
I put some ice cream into a bowl, and I smile as I catch Alex and Izzy whispering to each other. Part of me wants to know what it is that they are saying, but the other part of me is simply glad to see the way they are finally getting along. Once that jerk had left the picture, it seems that Izzy was finally able to open her eyes to see what a great guy Alex is and how he just kept making the bad impressions on her because she was partially looking for them, and because Alex was just so nervous around her that he couldn’t do anything other than stick his foot in his mouth.
I change my position on the carpet, moving from sitting to lying on my stomach, and see Iz steal some ice cream away from Alex. The smile on her face would have been enough to knock any guy out of his senses, but luckily Alex seemed to have found his bearings again without too much trouble.
I pick up a cookie and start spooning some of my vanilla ice cream onto it. I chance a glance back over to Max and Tess, not sure I really want to do that but unable to stop my curiosity. She’s snuggled right beside him, her head resting on his shoulder, his chin resting on her head. They looked like they fit together perfectly. I could feel my expression fade and my mood darken at the perfect picture the two of them made.
Just as I was about to turn away, I saw that Max saw me looking at him and Tess. I manage a weak smile before turning away from them and taking a bite of my ice cream topped cookie as the preview on the screen is coming to its end.
I’m just glad that Alex and Izzy are getting along. There is at least some good there. And Max and Tess are happy. There is no way that I am going to get in between them.

KYLE
Everyone seems to be relaxed. Nice ... and I feel as if it is the calm before the storm. Max and Liz have been talking and surprisingly, Alex and Isabel are constantly whispering. But since Michael - who STOLE my remote - has teh volume turned up rather loud, I can still hear what's going on in the movie.
Tess seems to be pretty comfy next to Evans. Too bad. Reaching for a cookie, I almost step on Liz who's suddenly lying on the floor.
"Sorry, Liz. I didn't see that you changed positions." I apologize, hoping she won't be mad.

I don't know where this came from.

I relax into the carpet and watch the movie, trying to get my mind to just stop thinking about things that I would rather not think about. But because I don’t want to think about it, it’s the exact reason why I am thinking about them. Max and Tess, Michael, Alex and Izzy. Kyle and Maria are the only people who aren’t occupying my thoughts.
I feel someone graze me with their foot. I turn slightly to see Kyle reaching for a cookie, an apology in his eyes. “Sorry, Liz. I didn’t see that you change positions.”
“Don’t worry about it. And no harm done. It’s partially my fault, but there’s all this room and I thought I’d take advantage of it.” I might be on the floor, but I do look more comfortable than Kyle looked on the couch, squeezed in between Michael and the arm of the couch. I look back over to where Michael’s stretched out and the seat Kyle just vacated before inviting him to join us on the floor. He did say that the couch was comfortable, and I don’t doubt that, but he would be closer to the cookies.
“You know, you could join us on the floor.”
He gives me this look and I find myself adding to the offer.
“You’ll be closer to the cookies. Not to mention that I don’t have to worry about getting stepped on by your clumsy feet,” I tease. “Or you could go back to sitting beside Michael on the couch. Your choice.” I easily reach for a cookie and take a bite, turning my attention back to the movie.

I as I sit her cuddled next to Tess, I'm feeling very comfortable -- Except when I'm thinking about Liz, which is only about every third second. I wish I knew how to make things right between us - to get back that friendly feeling I had before. Now I'm feeling like I've done something wrong and I just don't know how to fix it...
I see her stretched out on the rug and inviting Kyle to stay with her. I know Alex said that there was nothing between her and Kyle, but things change. Just look at how he and Isabel are actually acting friendly to each other now. Never would have imagined that on our first night here. And as for Liz and Kyle -- I've thought from the start that they might be well-suited to one another. They probably will end up together.
I frown, feeling jealous and almost angry, but I know I shouldn't. Tess is a great girl and I should be happy that she's here in my arms, happy and comfortable. Why do I insist on thinking about something that could never happen? I'm totally pathetic...
Still, maybe I will ask Alex about her. She seems to be comfortable with him. Maybe he'll have a clue what I can do...

I don't answer when Michael tells me if I want to come sit by him, I don't want to or maybe I do I'm not really sure right now. My feelings are all up in the air swirling around and I feel like I'm going to be sick, though I'm not going to ruin anyone elses night by saying so. Everyone seems so comfortable in each others presence so why do I feel so outside of that little bubble?
Chewing on my bottom lip I sigh, I think I'm an outsider now, I know how that feels but I'm not used to being the outsider of a group, usually I'm liked by everyone but I guess that's not the case in this house, I don't think I've really connected with anyone on any level at least not yet.
Sighing I relent and go move over by Michael, I need a little warmth and reassurance that I'm going to make it through this house without losing myself. I don't know that he'll be able to help me but for the night not feeling completely hallow is going to help.

For just a moment, I have total control of the sofa and the remote control. Life is good. I stretch out, ready to take full advantage of everything when suddenly, I notice that Maria has gotten to her feet.
Raising an eyebrow, I watch her, wondering if I should move over for her. I'm not gonna do that until I know where she's going. It would be pretty pointless to move aside if she's just goin' to the toilet or something.
Then I see that she IS coming here. Cool. I slide to one side, leaving her a space as she fits herself beside me. "Welcome to the best seat in the house," I tell her with a friendly smile. She nods although her smile isn't as big as I was hoping for.
I hesitate for just a moment, remember the disaster with Liz. I obviously read her wrong, but it's really not that surprising that it didn't work out. I was never really attracted to Liz -- not in that way. But Maria is definately a different story. She and Isabel are definately kiss-worthy. Tess is just a spite-target. Getting her to get at Max would be a plus, but she's really not for me...
So, after a moment of concideration, I stretch slowly and wrap one arm over the back of the couch behind Maria's back, letting my hand move forward enough to rest on her shoulder. "All comfy?" I ask.
