Well, gotta jet--" "No. Your girlfriend has actually become a problem--" "Not you too. Maria can be extreme but--" "Puh-leeze. I've known her for eight years. But no she's into my relationship--" "Not her fault. You blabbed whatever to Max and to Valenti who told Iz. You screwed up." "Me? No. Max blabbed. Kyle blabbed something I never said." "Ri-ight." "You actually think I'd tell Kyle something like that about Isabel? Think no." "You didn't tell Valenti that Iz was PMSing?" "No. I value my life and relationship, thank you very much." "But you still blabbed to Max--" "About something that happened when we were eleven! And solemn promise crap! How was I supposed to know he'd tell Maria? If Max and Kyle-- Hey. Wait a sec. What are you gonna do that's gonna get Maria off your back?" "No way am I telling you." "Who am I going to tell?" "Max, then Tess. Then--" "Oh shut up. Liz probably helped you out..." "She did not help me out." "Ah. Flowers at work, huh?" "No." "Tigerlilies..." "Man, is there anything the three of you don't know about each other?" "Not really. You've seen Maria and Liz in action. They are out of control together." "So?" "Years of it conditions you..." "Yet, they're still ticked at ya..." "No. Liz is upset and Maria's all chick-protective right now..." "I, uh, wouldn't say that around her..." "Wait. Are you trying to give me Maria advice?" "Yes." "You?" "Shut up, Alex." "Okay, so here's the deal--" "The deal?" "You help me out with Isabel and I won't tell Maria that I overheard you ordering flowers for her to be delivered at work." "What?! I haven't--" "You wouldn't want me to get her all excited, would you?" "You wouldn't--" "I have Isabel, Liz and Maria pissed at me..." "You wouldn't." "Or I could just tell Kyle...or Max...or Tess..." "You would." You betcha. So, about Isabel..." Michael was once again impressed by Alex. The guy knew how to react when the chips were down--blackmail. Something he probably picked up from his nutty girlfriend. And now he was going to help Alex smooth things over with Isabel. Humans...always roping him into stuff he didn't want to do in the first place... * * * * * |
