| Later on that evening while Kyle was on the phone
trying to hook up a
booty call, Max nervously searched Kyle's apartment
for his book. He knew
Kyle had finished reading it and he wanted it back
before it fell into the
wrong hands. He figured since Kyle, Alex, and Tess had
read it, it was
only a matter of time before Michael would want to
read it too. He went over to the coffee table and looked under some newspapers and there it was. He sighed in relief, "here we go," he said to himself and grabbed it. Just as he did and started to put it in his inside jacket pocket Michael walked in. "Yo....I suggest you get you own copy," Michael said taking the book out of Max's hand. "Oh....yea well I was just being a little over protective of my work," Max said rubbing his hands together nervously almost losing his balance and tripping over the couch. "Yea well it's a little to late for that....man I can't wait to read this. Look at you...." Michael sat back on the couch and admired his best friend, "you know you blessed right? The Lord is smiling on you," he smiled. "Come on Michael....you know I'm not down with all that. I make it happened," Max said pointing his finger in his chest sitting down on the couch. "Not some heavenly being," he looked up, "in the clouds possessing me." "Whatever man....you'll learn some day." "Michael," Max said changing the subject,"tuxedo fitting tomorrow?" "Yea but we need to push it back, Maria has a grocery list of things for me." "Well that's good, cuz I need to hook up with Tess to discuss.......what?" Max asked puzzled by Michael's look. "Tess.......huh?" "Yea, we're having lunch to discuss this interview....." Michael was still staring at Max. "Max....my man....my ace....my best man....do you know who you're talking to....you can't fool me man. I mean I know you doing your little relationship thing....and that's good.....I'd be the last to come between that....but you know you want my sister. You have for a long time." "Look at you.....I mean what about all that talk about having sown your oats and time to settle down." "I was talking about me man...not you. For once in your life.....be a dog," Michael grinned patting Max on the back. Max looked at Michael out the corner of his eye and said to himself 'for once in my life.....if only he knew.....' |
